It turns out that the inheritance at the surface of the water was an inverted image, so the one in the sky is sure to be the real one.

The appearance of the inheritance had alarmed many tribulation transcendents. When they took it to the sky, they could not find the whereabouts of the inheritance. However, after the appearance of the water columns, everyone realised that by making use of those water columns they could enter the inheritance that was in the sky.

The only problem was that the entrance to the inheritance was closed and no one could open it.

After thousands of years, within the entire cultivation world, only HaoYue sect produced an immortal that ascended to the heavens.

Tribulation transcendents have been stuck at this bottleneck for many years, some of them are reaching the ends of their lifespan, now that the supreme inheritance has appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy has thickened to the point that made others exclaim with admiration. It was as if it was a real cultivation holy land, this made the tribulation transcendents see a new lease of life. When they sent people up the water column, they named it Rising dragon pillar. Its name was derived from fish leaps over the dragon gate, crossing the tribulation and ascending to be an immortal, obtaining eternal life.

However, it is regrettable that no one could unravel the formation of the supreme inheritance. This caused them to be able to reach the supreme inheritance in the sky, but they will fall back down to the surface when the water columns disappear. No one was exempted from this.

At the start, there were no more four entrances, both the righteous and demonic factions suffered injuries when vying for them. In the end, both factions receive two entrances each. It probably was because no one could see through the profound mystery behind the inheritance, many big and small Rising Dragon Columns  appeared, which was outside of everyone’s expectations. As of today, there were one thousand three hundred and sixty two entrances spread all over the vicinity.

Afterwards, the six super forces simply announced that now anyone could get a chance, they no longer sealed the entrance prohibiting everyone else from entering the supreme inheritance, there were only some slight restrictions.

‘They just could not find the method to unravel the formation, so they wanted to rely on others to do it for them.’ XiaoBu snorted.

ZhanYu glared at him for a moment before continuing to update Su TingYun on the current affairs.

This sea area is a place where good and bad people were lurking, there were frequent small scuffles. Because the experts of the righteous and demonic factions are mutually restraining each other, the cultivators here did not dare to make too large of a conflict. As a result, righteous, demonic and lone cultivators could be seen everywhere, it had become commonplace to see such a variety of cultivators.

After all that talk, the main topic of conversation revolved around the supreme inheritance, yet what Su TingYun wanted to hear about was WuLiang sect and that mysterious QianJi Pavilion. The supreme inheritance had attracted cultivators from all over to fight with their lives. Her with a cultivation of building foundation stage could only , she was a greenhorn that did not even have a weapon, it would be better if she did not join in this event. 

On the contrary, it was QianJi Pavilion that was in the conversation that gave Su TingYun some hope.

If QianJi Pavilion knew all the big and small details that happened under the heavens, then would they know what kind of savage beast Big Bai was? How could QianJi Pavilion be contacted?

ZhanYu thought he had caught Su TingYun’s interest. He was just waiting for Su TingYun to ask for the method for entering the supreme inheritance, who would have known that she would instead ask about QianJi Pavilion. Her appearance looked identical to that idiot of an apprentice, blindly worshipping QianJi Pavilion. He crooned twice and tasked his apprentice to explain, while he went to the side to take a sip of water to moisten his throat.

‘QianJi Pavilion is really awesome, they know everything!’ Once XiaoBu talked about QianJi Pavilion, he would talk and speak with enthusiasm. ‘I feel that their eyes cover the entire area under the heavens, regardless of who said what, whey could hear it.’

‘Then how is information bought from QianJi Pavilion?’ Su TingYun asked.

‘That is the important part. There are no secrets hidden from QianJi Pavilion, but no one knows where QianJi Pavilion is located.’ XiaoBu sighed, then continued, ‘For those people who received the news, QianJi Pavilion had sent personally all of them. They are omnipresent, they naturally know who needs that information. If they are unwilling to sell the information, even if you put in all your effort to find them, you cannot find them.’

‘HaoYue sect’s sect leader even used heavenly sound transmission technique to announce that they will find Su LiJiang and are willing to buy information about Su LiJiang at a high price. The result was that there was the complete lack of response from QianJi Pavilion.’

Speaking to this point, XiaoBu was radiating with happiness, ‘So this means that QianJi Pavilion does not lack money, unafraid to challenge authority. They have natural resources, and they have strength. If we were to compare my Obliterate Sword Tower to them, it is like comparing a big fish to a small shrimp.’

‘You little brat!’ ZhanYu raised his arm and gave XiaoBu an explosive chestnut. This made XiaoBu unhappily curled his mouth, his mouth curled up so much that an oil bottle could be suspended from it.

Sigh, how lacking must Obliteration Sword Tower be such that it had been berated by its own disciple. If it were any other cultivation school, they definitely would expel those disciples. Since ZhanYu did not, it probably was because Obliteration Sword Tower could not recruit anymore disciples.

‘So in other words, if I intend to find QianJi Pavilion there is nothing to be done?’

‘No No No, you just need to be sincere, loudly shout out, the members of QianJi Pavilion will definitely hear it!’ XiaoBu proudly said.

ZhanYu who was standing beside him gloomily said some sarcastic remarks, ‘So do you also want to burn some incense for them as well?’ 

Su TingYun: ‘……’

She faced both of them and gave her thanks, ‘Many thanks to senior, may I request senior to tell me the direction to WuLiang sect.’

‘Why do you still want to go there? Ever since the decline of WuLiang sect, the formal formation hall has turned into Yin Yang Formation Tower. After that, no one has gone to WuLiang sect to be a disciple anymore.’ Furthermore, Formation Hall even closed up their mountain, the mountain has completely disappeared. If you were to go to this instant, you would not find any members of Yin Yang Formation Tower.’

‘Why would they seal up their mountain?’

‘There were rumours that everyone wanted to comprehend the Yin Yang formation eye, then use it to confirm the location of the supreme inheritance, Yin Yang Formation Tower felt very vexed, and finally they could not take it anymore and one day they disappeared overnight. Tsk tsk those formation grandmasters, they are so skilled.’

Hearing this statement, Su TingYun immediately became dazed. She never thought that things would become like this. Xiao Mei is a cultivator from formation hall, Ning XuZi treats her well, E ChangGuang is the ancestor of the formation hall. Su TingYun had a good relationship with formation hall. Now that she heard about their circumstance, it was unavoidable that she felt like sighing.

However, she wanted to go to WuLiang sect to find Xiao Mei’s soul, and also go look at the purple tongue grass at the pond, along with checking up on the forbidden horizon. So, going to WuLiang sect is a must.

Expressing her own thoughts, ZhanYu suddenly said: ‘Currently many loose cultivators had appeared in the surroundings of WuLiang sect, even black hearted merchants are stationed there. This differed from the Refinement islands as there are no big shots keeping them restrained. Fellow daoist should be more careful.’

That year when WuLiang sect collapsed, waves and waves of people went there to loot, even now was not an exception. In addition, the headquarters of a large sect is bound to be stationed at a cultivation blessed land where there is bountiful spiritual energy. Countless people want to go there and cultivate, naturally there would be cultivator groups that would go there too. That place could be considered a loose cultivation city with members of the righteous and demonic factions. There were also people there who became enemies at the Refinement islands, if they were to chance upon each other over there, they would begin fighting.

‘I will task this disciple to escort you to WuLiang mountain. When you return, what does fellow daoist think of joining our Obliterate Sword Tower?’ ZhanYu said while smiling.

Su TingYun had the bone age of eighty years old, from the status of a loose cultivator and cultivating to the building foundation stage. Although it was mediocre, it was also not considered bad. Currently, the talent of Obliteration Sword Tower is dwindling. If they could get a disciple, they would properly nurture them.

Su TingYun felt dumbfounded then she heard ZhanYu say that, she always thought that her talent in cultivation was poor. Now that she was scouted to be part of their school, she looked at ZhanYu and then at XiaoBu. One of them was not emitting any kind of aura, his cultivation looked average and boring. The other one looked seven to eight years old and had the cultivation of refinement stage. He was hugging a worn out sword. A school like this, if the words of the purple tongue grass were used, it would be unsightly.

‘On top of that, if you join my Obliteration Sword sect, you will be given the chance to explore the supreme inheritance to find your opportunity.’

Obliteration Sword Tower had produced a sword expert in its earlier days, it was just that there were no successors, and it got worse with each generation. They also had their glory days, and they left their mark on the cultivation world. They also had a golden core stage cultivator, so they still had a slot for entry for the rising dragon column. But because the water column disappears after a while, the people at the supreme inheritance would be thrown off onto the surface of the sea. Among them, only those building foundation stage and above could withstand the fall. As a result, the six super forces made a requirement that only those forces with over twenty building foundation stage cultivators can obtain the qualification to enter.

To those slightly larger sects, this new requirement was not worth a mention. However, for Obliteration Sword Tower, how few were their members? They have two gold core stage cultivators, eight building foundation stage cultivators, and one refinement stage cultivator. So in total they have eleven members in total!

ZhanYu still had morals to not forcefully recruit people to make up for the shortfall of members. He was someone who cultivated the sword, he was especially sensitive to the aura that people give off, he naturally knew that Su TingYun was not a wicked and merciless person as her body did not give off ominous energy, in addition with her seemingly lower intelligence. She was a loose cultivator who just finished closed door cultivation and was looking for a teacher. So in the end, her situation had moved ZhanYu’s heart.

One big and one small earnest gaze, Su TingYun embarrassedly shook her head, ‘I don’t know how to use a sword.’

‘Then learn how to!’ the one who spoke was XiaoBu, ‘Master said that if you hug a sword for twenty to thirty years, you will naturally be able to use a sword.’ He eagerly looked at Su TingYun, his eyelashes fluttered just like a butterfly. It was like he was purposefully trying to act cute.

‘Fellow daoist, is it because you think our cultivation stages are similar so you think I do not deserve to be your master?’ ZhanYu’s tone of voice suddenly turned stricter. Su TingYun repeatedly denied it as she did not want to incur enmity without any good reason..

After ZhanYu finished speaking, he raised his arm and took the iron sword in XiaoBu’s hands and held it in front of his body. Within a split second, his aura changed.

He originally had a happy go lucky appearance, but at present, his entire body was emitting sword aura from his entire body. His whole body turned into the aperture for a sharp sword, and the sharp edges became completely visible. His body also produced a suppressive force. It was also obvious that it was not the suppressive force from a building foundation stage.

‘I ZhanYu also have the cultivation of a golden core stage, as long as you come under my tutorship, I will teach you with all my capability.’

Su TingYun knew little about the cultivation world, it was true that she wanted to join a sect, but the one Su TingYun had in mind was the type that refines pills. On top of that, her skill in refining pills is not bad as well.

However, the impression Obliteration Sword tower gave her was also quite good too, she had coincidentally chosen this island out of so many others also suggested that they had some affinity with each other; it was worth a shot. Su TingYun was still very cautious. She did not answer immediately and only said her thanks for senior’s kindness, and to allow her to first go to WuLiang sect to finish her business first before discussing about becoming a disciple.

ln the end, both ZhanYu and XiaoBu were so happy that they expressed their intention of escorting her to WuLiang sect, they would not take no as an answer.

ZhanYu brandished his flying treasure, his flying sword expanded in size by a lot in the air. Then he just jumped onto the top of the sword and then pulled XiaoBu onto the sword. Seeing Su TingYun not pull out a flying treasure, he immediately asked: ‘XiaoYun, you even don’t own a flying treasure?’

Su TingYun awkwardly nod her head.

‘Master, there exists someone poorer than a beggar.’ XiaoBu’s lips curled up in disbelief, ‘Your sense of judgement sure is great.’

Su TingYun: ‘……’

ZhanYu’s flying sword enlarges a little, ‘See, we sure are fated, we are so poor to the extent of showing no difference. Come, I will give you a lift there.’

Su TingYun was speechless.

Su TingYun got onto the flying sword, just when it was about to ascend into the sky, she saw ZhanYu lower his foot, just like he was stepping on the brakes.XiaoBu who was standing at the front was nearly thrown off, luckily Su TingYun extended her hand just in time to catch him from falling.

Before she could say anything, she heard ZhanYu exclaim: ‘SSIIIIIIIII.’

The usual XiaoBu who always liked to talk and roast his master at this moment did not utter a word. Instead, he carefully concentrated his gaze on what was above his head. Su TingYun raised her head and saw flying horse drawn carriage speed across high up in the sky.

Accurately speaking, that was not a horse drawn carriage. The body of the spirit beast that was pulling the carriage was pitch black, its body looked like a bear, its nose was like an elephant. Its eyes were like rhinoceros, its tail was like a cow, legs were like a tiger, there were even black flames that were being produced whenever it walked. Looking at it made one’s heart palpitate. Once she raised her head to look at it, she did not lower her head anymore; it was like she had been sucked into a dream.

Both of ZhanYu’s palms formed a layer of ice and directly pressed it into Su TingYun and XiaoBu’s eyes.

‘You actually dare to look at the dream tapir of BaiYue cult’s demonic venerable, you must be tired of living.’ ZhanYu strictly warned them, ‘Next time, don’t ever look at it, you understand?’
