Chapter 305: Chapter 191: Only Worth One Sword
Translator: 549690339
Before the Immortal Boat landed, Han Yi took a look, getting a preliminary impression of the Star River Garden.
Star River Garden, it didn’t look like a sect, just like the other districts in Qian Du.
But right in the middle of Star River District stood a tower that reached towards the heavens.
This tower was so high that even Han Yi couldn’t see the top. It didn’t take up much space – Han Yi estimated it was less than ten thousand square meters.
Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
The core structure of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, second to none.
Legend has it that the two lords of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion reside at the top of the tower, observing the heaven’s secrets and predicting fortunes.
To the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, studying the secrets of heaven and predicting heavenly mechanisms is cultivation. This sect believed in the joy of contending with the heaven.
On the other hand, cultivators of another sect in Daqian, the Heavenly Will Sect, believed in sensing and following the heavenly will. This was a stark contrast to the beliefs of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
After landing in Star River Garden, Han Yi found a deserted place and, with a slight shift of his body, restored his original appearance and aura.
Not far away, Dou Yu, who was quietly discussing with several foundation establishment cultivators, noticed Han Yi walking over. He raised his eyebrows – the sword carried on Han Yi’s back was the same as that of the arrogant cultivator who had received an invitation from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion earlier.
“That’s wrong. This cultivator concealed his aura…late stage of foundation establishment. Could he have really received an invitation from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?”
“This person is too unfamiliar, and he is alone. He doesn’t look like a disciple from a major sect. Besides, he doesn’t even know the situation with the followers of Qianlong. It’s impossible for him to be a cultivator on the Qianlong List.”
Dou Yu shook his head slightly. But remembering Han Yi’s calm demeanor on the Immortal Boat made him question his own assumptions.
On the other side.
Upon entering Star River Garden, Han Yi saw a familiar face.
White Jade Tower’s Zuo Lie.
“Daoist Zuo.”
With a slight shift of his figure, Han Yi quickly caught up with Zuo Lie and called out to him.
After many years, Zuo Lie still wore white robes and looked handsome with his hair tied up high. The sword in his hand was no longer silver and had been replaced with a blue long sword.
As he walked, an air of grandeur and transcendence naturally radiated from him.
Hearing someone calling out to him, Zuo Lie turned around and saw Han Yi, a smile appeared on his face.
“All, Daoist Han.”
“Haha, it’s been many years, how have you been Daoist Han?”
“Eh? No, you… you’ve reached the late stage of foundation establishment?”
For the first two sentences, Zuo Lie was relaxed and smiling. But the third one was said with shock – his eyes almost popped out.
“I was lucky,” Han Yi responded modestly.
“No, really. You actually reached the late stage of foundation establishment. Did I see it wrong?”
Zuo Lie also practiced a Technique to observe aura. However, his eyes didn’t change when his technique was activated, giving no sign that he had just checked Han Yi’s aura and found that his realm was actually at the late stage of foundation establishment.
This discovery almost made him believe he saw wrongly, but Han Yi’s humble ‘luck’ obviously affirmed it.
He was so shocked that he asked again. Because only sixteen years have passed since they last met, in which Han Yi has advanced from the eighth level of qi training to the late stage of foundation establishment.
If he told others, who would believe it?
Han Yi nodded solemnly, “I indeed reached the late stage of foundation establishment a little over a year ago.”
After calming himself down, Zuo Lie resumed his elegant demeanor.
“Never mind, in the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, I already knew you were not an ordinary cultivator. An eighth level qi trainer daring to snatch the legendary Tai Xu Order could never be common.”
“I can’t compare, I really can’t.”
“But, I’ve also done well over the years. Through my own efforts, I’ve cultivated to the early stage of foundation establishment and received this sword given by my sect.”
“Look, Blue Rainbow Sword, one of the top top-grade magical artifacts. It can unleash 120% of my power.”
Zuo Lie held up his sword and said proudly.
Han Yi just smiled and complimented him a few times.
“By the way, you are here for the Heavenly Mechanism Ceremony too, right?”
“The Heavenly Mechanism Ceremony is held once a century and is only convened when the Master’s List is updated. The Qianlong List, which is updated every ten years, does not hold a celebration.”
“My master, Master Jade Heart, this time received the invitation. She should be able to get on the list. This is an honor for her and for White Jade Tower.”
When speaking of this, Zuo Lie’s face shone. This was the recognition for the sect that Han Yi had seen on He Fengdi and Gu Yu’s faces.
“Daoist Han, did you also come with your sect’s master to participate in the ceremony?”
“Oh yes, I haven’t congratulated you yet. Congratulations to Xuandan Sect for achieving Nascent Soul Sect status.”
Being with an old acquaintance, Zuo Lie was quite talkative.
“I also received the invitation to attend this ceremony,” replied Han Yi casually.
“Yes, all the major sects are here by invitation…Wait, you also received an invitation?”
Zuo Lie stopped and turned around slowly, the smile on his face freezing, and he looked at Han Yi.
Han Yi handed over his invitation with a smile, eager to see the complex expression on Zuo Lie’s face.
Zuo Lie accepted the invitation, flipped through it three times, a complex look on his face, sighing.
Comparing people can really frustrate one.
His face changed, giving up on playing cool.
“So you should be on the Qianlong List.”
“Wait a minute, Heavenly Will Sect? Han Yi, aren’t you from Xuandan Sect? How did you become part of the Heavenly Will Sect?”
