"Heh..." Blood Plum Blossom was amused, giggled softly, and then left directly.
Today, she still held some hope, because after she defected to the Sword Alliance, Wei Xian was the first disciple the alliance found for her.
There were already few Sword Dao seeds who practiced the Heartless Dao, and even fewer who had rolled between life and death. Therefore, although Wei Xian’s Realm was low, he was barely qualified.
Moreover, in her view, being the first disciple meant there was destiny involved. Even if his words of decay that day made her unhappy, she was still willing to give one more chance.
Unfortunately, this destiny is completely exhausted.
Immediately after, Heaven-Releasing Sword Elder also stepped out, squinting his eyes, he grumbled, "Though defeated, he hasn’t entirely lost himself in the Sword Prison, which is unfortunate enough."
Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly knelt down, saying, "I beseech you, Sword Elder, to save him. Senior Brother Wei... he is very talented, this time he was just careless, he can certainly make it!"
Heaven-Releasing Sword Elder lowered his head, looking at this female cultivator who, apart from being pretty and cute, had neither talent nor a strong heart. With his experience, he naturally saw through Wei Xian’s true purpose in taking her as a Dao partner. Now seeing her so heartbroken, even knocking her head repeatedly in sorrow, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
After a moment of thought, he made a slight motion with his hand, and a bottle of elixir fell in front of Ling Xiaoxiao.
"This elixir can nourish the divine soul. Wei Xian was wounded by the heart demon in the Heart Demon Sword Prison, his divine soul is already damaged. Using it monthly may not heal him completely, but at least... it can barely stabilize his Realm and prevent regression. In future, he can still serve as an honored cultivator of some tribe."
After speaking, Heaven-Releasing Sword Elder looked at Ling Xiaoxiao again and said, "Only you have emerged as a cultivator in your tribe, and you bear great expectations. Your father hopes you can become powerful, thus becoming the ancestral guardian of his small tribe.
But your heart is also lacking, even if you enter the Purple Mansion, you would not recognize the myriad crises between heaven and earth, your fall is inevitable.
Now that Wei Xian is like this, take him back, live as carefree Dao partners among mortals, but... do not ask about Sword Dao again."
Ling Xiaoxiao took the elixir and looked deeply at her senior brother, still trapped in fear, then kowtowed deeply to Heaven-Releasing Sword Elder, saying, "Thank you, Sword Elder, for granting the elixir."
...
...
An Immortal has the path of an Immortal, and mortals also have the path of mortals...
Song Yan was injured, and Ling Xiaoxiao took him, boarded the carriage, and along the winding path south of Biluo Mountain, whipped the carriage forward.
The wheel hub turned, moving gently forward.
Ling Xiaoxiao felt emptiness in her heart, but as she looked up and saw the scattered white clouds beyond the sky, she felt much relaxed.
Alongside the relaxation, frustration arose again.
She secretly whispered to herself, "Sword Elder is right, I really am not suited for cultivation, my heart is poor, I have no vigilance, only thinking the other senior brothers and sisters are so amazing. Maybe, it’s me who dragged down Senior Brother Wei. If Senior Brother Wei had a Purple Mansion Dao partner, his path in sword cultivation might be smoother, and this Heart Demon Sword Prison might not be unpassable."
"It’s all my fault..."
"It’s all my fault..."
Her heart felt incredibly uncomfortable, the spring breeze blew against her face, making her eyes red, tears swirling in her eyes.
But inside the carriage, Song Yan felt quite comfortable.
Honored Immortal is still an Immortal, the name of the Sword Alliance still stands, now with far fewer trivial affairs, and he even saw that visualization map.
Speaking of the "Heart Demon Sword Prison" Visualization Map, he slightly closed his eyes.
A pitch-black inverted gate appeared in his mind.
He stood before the gate’s entrance, head toward the gate’s bottom, feet treading the Void.
This was the first map of the "Heart Demon Sword Prison Visualization Map — Outside the Gate."
As if perceiving his arrival, a strange gray aura immediately slipped through the gate crack, coming toward him.
As it approached, the gray aura slowly took the form of a swordsman.
That swordsman’s face showed a particularly evil expression, eyes shining staring at Song Yan, then flicked his hand, producing a long gray sword, and with a flash of the sword light, intricate moves embedded within thoughts, rushed upon him.
Song Yan was unmoved, merely watching this Sea of Suffering Heart Demon.
This little guy definitely hasn’t reached the level of the Nine-Child Demon Mother, not even the Demon Monk; its whole being is nothing but "Heart Demon Evil Thought" and "Sword Dao Insights."
The so-called way to defeat it is to surpass it in these two aspects.
Conquer this evil thought, one’s Sword Heart naturally stabilizes.
Defeat its Sword Dao Insights, one’s Swordsmanship can naturally absorb its essence, discard its dross, thereby advancing further.
It can be said, this "Heart Demon Sword Prison" is truly an excellent place for sword cultivators to cultivate.
Just as he was thinking this, the sword of the Sea of Suffering Swordsman had already pierced Song Yan’s body.
However...
Song Yan remained motionless.
The Sea of Suffering Swordsman looked at him in astonishment.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still.
Slowly, slowly... the Sea of Suffering Swordsman saw that soul opposite revealing a sinister smile.
Song Yan waved his large hand, clasping the Sea of Suffering Swordsman’s wicked face with five fingers, crushing it instantly.
Thread by thread of insights naturally arose from the depths of his heart.
Though few, but akin to trickling streams, who can say they cannot gather into a Vast Sea?
"Jie, jie, jie, jie, become a part of me!"
