Chapter 502 -25 Heavenly Repair Skill
“What’s so magical about this Heavenly Repair Skill?” Lin Feng asked.
“I’m not sure, but I heard it’s quite defying,” Tian Zhongdao responded.
Lin Feng nodded. The Heavenly Repair Skill had been lost for too many years; the once-feared Heavenly Repair Skill had now become a legend.
So it was quite normal that Tian Zhongdao wasn’t clear about what exactly the Heavenly Repair Skill was.
However, just by hearing its name, one should realize that this Heavenly Repair Skill must possess unimaginably terrifying aspects.
“This Ice Flame Town is no longer a place to linger. Let’s head to the Azure Cloud Sect to avoid further trouble.”
“No, no problem…,” Tian Zhongdao nodded.
On their way to the Azure Cloud Sect, Lin Feng and Tian Zhongdao encountered many people who were also headed there, apparently cultivators wanting to participate in the examination.
A lot of people were resting by a small creek, drinking water or eating food to replenish their strength.
“Old man, you’re already at such an advanced age, yet you’re still bringing your clan’s children to participate in the Azure Cloud Sect’s examination?” a middle-aged cultivator asked while smiling at an elderly man resting next to him.
However, the elderly man, who looked bent and about eighty years old, glared suddenly when he heard what the middle-aged cultivator said, “Blind your dog eyes, I’m still very young, okay? And I’m not even married yet. What descendants are you talking about? I’m here to participate in the examination.”
Many people who were drinking water suddenly spit it out.
The old man scoffed and said, “What’s with all the fuss? Does the Azure Cloud Sect’s rules forbid me from participating in the examination?”
“Old man, how old are you?” someone asked quietly.
“Who are you calling old man? Are you blind? I’m only eighteen,” the old guy said fiercely.
“I can’t believe this old geezer, claiming to be eighteen when he’s practically half in the grave.”
Many people were muttering.
The group quickly moved on, sticking together on their way to the Azure Cloud Sect mainly out of concern that powerful Fierce Beasts might appear in the forest, which are difficult to handle alone.
“My fellow brother, would you like to come sit in our Beast Carriage and rest your feet?” Lin Feng asked the ‘shameless’ old man with a smile.
Before setting out, he and Tian Zhongdao had rented a Beast Carriage that was fast and also provided good rest.
The old man, quite pleased with the term “fellow brother” Lin Feng used, nodded and said, “You’ve got good eyes, thanks for the invite, big brother.”
The old man jumped onto the Beast Carriage and asked, “How may I address you two brothers?”
Lin Feng and Tian Zhongdao’s faces fell.
This old man really knew how to overstep his bounds.
He was old and still trying to act young.
“Cough cough… Tian, Tian, Zhong, Zhongdao.”
Tian Zhongdao patted the old man’s shoulder and said, “From, from now, on, follow, follow, Brother Dao, I, I promise, to, to take care, of you.”
The old man immediately said, “That’s fantastic, from now on I’ll follow Brother Dao. We’ll be the handsome and youthful duo of the Azure Cloud Sect, beating bad guys, charming goddesses, and becoming idols with both popularity and power among the new disciples.”
“Oh my…” Many people were almost disgusted to death by the old man.
At his old age, he still wanted to charm the goddesses of the Azure Cloud Sect?
Do you still want to be an idol-figure?
How can there be such shameless people in this world?
Oh my God, strike this fellow dead with lightning.
“Exactly, exactly, we, we are the, the new, new idols.”
Tian Zhongdao agreed wholeheartedly.
“It truly is a case of extremes meeting extremes.”
Lin Feng couldn’t help but lament.
“What may I call this brother?” the old man asked, looking at Lin Feng.
“Haha, you can call me Zhou Xiaoshuai,” said the old man.
“Zhou? Xiaoshuai?” Lin Feng asked, somewhat uncertain.
The old man nodded and said, “Brother, don’t you think my name exceptionally matches my appearance?”
He said this with a self-satisfied expression.
Some people around him immediately walked away, fearing if they stayed any longer, they might get struck dead by lightning from the old man.
Three days later, everyone arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect.
The Azure Cloud Sect was located deep in the mountains.
Twelve majestic peaks soared into the clouds.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes and could feel the extraordinary nature of this place—there was a Dragon Vein underground.
In the mountain forests, Spiritual Energy steamed and purple mist twirled; this indeed was a Holy Land for Cultivation!
“Azure Cloud Twelve Peaks, each peak represents a lineage. These twelve peaks are respectively Asking Immortal Peak, Cutting Dao Peak, Mist City Peak, Divine Sword Peak, Five Elements Peak, Four Extremes Peak, Divine Soul Peak, Medicine Peak, Spirit Array Peak, Supreme Yang Peak, Xuyu Peak, and Heavenly Repair Peak.”
A cultivator discussed the Azure Cloud Twelve Peaks, “Each peak has its lineage. Originally, the most powerful peak was Heavenly Repair Peak, but with the loss of the Heavenly Repair Skill, Heavenly Repair Peak has thoroughly declined. It is said that now it hardly has any talented disciples. Other peaks have tens of thousands of talented disciples emerging continuously, whereas Heavenly Repair Peak just has a few hundred disciples, and during disciple selection each year, only after the other peaks have made their choices does Heavenly Repair Peak get to pick, naturally only left with some average talent disciples. Even those average talent disciples would rather leave the Azure Cloud Sect than join Heavenly Repair Peak. Thus it’s evident how weak Heavenly Repair Peak is now. Pray that some other peak chooses you, for being chosen by Heavenly Repair Peak would spell doom, and it would be better to join one of the Ancient Sects instead.”
“The Heavenly Repair Skill was once a Supreme Divine Skill that swept through the Three Thousand States, and now Heavenly Repair Peak has fallen to such lows.”
In the past, Heavenly Repair Peak was the main peak among the Azure Cloud Twelve Peaks.
The Sect Master of the Azure Cloud Sect had also always been the Peak Master of Heavenly Repair Peak.
But ever since the loss of the Heavenly Repair Skill, Heavenly Repair Peak’s status had plummeted.
Not only had it lost the position of Sect Master, but even the Cultivation Resources allocated to it by the sect were the least, and choosing disciples could only be done from those left by the other peaks.
“There are rumors that the higher-ups of the Azure Cloud Sect are discussing plans to dismantle the completely declined Heavenly Repair Peak and build a new peak to complete the new Azure Cloud Twelve Sects,” said a cultivator.
“The Peak Master of Heavenly Repair Peak is called Que Butian, right? Heard that he was once the Favored Son of Heaven, considered by Heavenly Repair Peak as the hope for revival. He took on the role of Peak Master at a young age, but ten years ago, after some unknown incidents, he suffered severe injuries and is said to be in danger of dissipation,” said another cultivator.
“When Que Butian dies, Heavenly Repair Peak might just be expelled,” someone lamented with profound sorrow. The once glorious Heavenly Repair Peak falling to such a wretched state was truly a testament to the impermanence of the world.
