Chapter 117 92 You Know My Decade... (Please Subscribe)
Wuliang Mountain, outside Sealing Demon Valley.
Yan Hai looked at another brand-new letter in his hand, his face changing from cloudy to sunny.
Beside him, there was a stack of letters, thick enough to consist of thirty or forty pieces; each one bore traces of having been opened.
"That little beast, how dare he be so arrogant?"
"Is it just because he's the 'Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List' First? Just because he's the Earthly List First?"
"How can he repeatedly write about this for ten years?!"
Yan Hai was so angry that he wished he could tear up the letter in his hand and all the ones beside him into shreds.
But thinking that he still needed to keep them to stimulate his disciple, Chen Yuan's, rage, he held back.
"Very good, very good, Li Qingzhou, you've taught a really promising disciple!"
"I want to see whether your disciple is more remarkable, or my Absolute Blade Lineage inheritor is superior."
Yan Hai frustratedly put the letter back into its envelope, his gaze shifting toward the distant Sealing Demon Valley.
For the past ten years, he had made trips here every month.
Partly to send some living supplies into Sealing Demon Valley, and partly to listen for any signs of life within.
Lest Chen Yuan died inside without him knowing.
Although an early death means a quicker rebirth, Yan Hai thought that it would be too much of a pity for his disciple to die after persisting inside for ten years.
Moreover, he didn't have another ten years to dedicate to training a disciple.
"The summoning of the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield is drawing near, and I hope that before then, my good disciple can break free from Sealing Demon Valley."
Yan Hai gave one last look at Sealing Demon Valley, his expression cold as he rose to his feet, brushing the falling snow from his clothes.
Just as he put away the letters and was about to leave, he felt a fierce Sword Intent coming from a distance.
Boom!
A rumbling explosion followed by a slightly hoarse roar.
"Jue Tian!"
Hearing this sound, Yan Hai widened his eyes.
He looked at the immense Sword Energy slashing out from within Sealing Demon Valley, his hands trembling subconsciously.
"He's done it, he's achieved mastery in Absolute Blade, his Sword Dao has reached great success!"
"My good disciple has learned well, haha..."
Yan Hai couldn't help feeling excited; his good disciple had mastered the Sword Dao in a mere ten years.
Although the Sword Intent had not yet reached perfection, with the essence of the Absolute Saber Inheritance, as long as Chen Yuan's cultivation level catches up and he spends a few more years out in the world, his Sword Intent would naturally achieve perfection.
"Perfection, at the age of sixteen achieving Sword Intent Perfection, he..."
Yan Hai's smile suddenly stiffened, his gaze landing on the envelope in his hand.
He suddenly remembered someone, who reached Sword Dao Great Success and Sword Intent Perfection at the age of six, and ranked first on the Earthly List.
"Damn Li Qingzhou, you really had damn good luck!"
Thinking of Chen Yi, the excitement and elation vanished from Yan Hai's heart, leaving him only wanting to curse.
Especially considering that Li Qingzhou, having gone to Taizhou Mountain for more than a decade, never taught any disciple.
And still, that Chen Yi had achieved Sword Intent Perfection ten years ago, monstrously abnormal.
In contrast to his own guidance, encouragement, and threats to Chen Yuan, Li Qingzhou's task seemed unbelievably easy.
"You just wait for me!"
"My good disciple will certainly be much more powerful than yours!"
Over the years, Yan Hai had also been keeping an eye on Chen Yi from afar at the Grand Void Sect, and he had heard a thing or two about him.
He heard that the so-called "Little Sword Immortal," aside from reaching the upper stage of the Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm these past ten years, made no progress in his Sword Dao techniques.
He remained at the level of Sword Dao Great Success and Sword Intent Perfection.
Yan Hai curled his lip, "Hmph, being famous as a youth isn't necessarily a good thing."
Even though reaching Sword Dao Great Success at sixteen also signifies a peerless genius, no progress in Sword Dao for ten years suggests his future accomplishments may well stop here.
As Yan Hai mentally compared the cultivation levels and technique realms of Chen Yi and Chen Yuan, a figure quietly landed beside him.
"Master."
Yan Hai focused his gaze, his expression returning to being stern, and his tone indifferent, "Trash!"
"It took you ten years just to come out from Sealing Demon Valley; your stupidity far exceeds my imagination!"
He spoke this way, but in his heart, he was quite satisfied.
Chen Yuan now stood close to eight feet tall, his clothing badly torn but unable to conceal his robust stature.
And the expression on his face was equally satisfying to Yan Hai: thick brows, big eyes, detached gaze, and a severe demeanor, very much fitting of an Absolute Blade Inheritor.
Of course, there was something he wasn't pleased with—his face was too pale.
Presumably because Chen Yuan had been staying in Sealing Demon Valley all year long and hadn't seen sunlight.
Yet with this, Yan Hai thought of the next location for Chen Yuan's trials, guaranteed to darken his skin.
"Is that so?"
Saying this, Chen Yuan, holding a heavy blade half as long as his height, walked up to Yan Hai and looked at the envelope in his hand, asking,
"Master, are these letters mine?"
"Hmph, correct."
With that, Yan Hai's good mood came to an end. Snorting, he tossed all the letters into Chen Yuan's hands and turned away.
"Take a look for yourself, your 'good brother' here has accomplished much more than you have!"
Chen Yuan watched his retreating figure and quietly blinked.
The second brother, accomplished?
However, he didn't open them immediately but waited until Yan Hai had walked away before sitting down and beginning to read them, one by one.
The first letter was from ten years ago.
"Big brother, life on the mountain is comfortable. Once I descended, I topped the Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List, impressive, right?"
Eight years ago.
"Big brother, my cultivation level has finally broken through to the upper stage of the sixth rank, so slow. However, I'm still the first on the Earthly List."
Five years ago.
"Big brother, I've advanced to the upper stage of the sixth rank in my cultivation. Sister suggests I enter seclusion to breakthrough to the fifth-rank Core Formation Realm."
One year ago.
"Big brother, the Core Formation Realm is tough. It took me three years just to reach the middle stage of the fifth-rank."
Until the last letter, Chen Yuan's face unconsciously revealed a faint smile.
What do you think?
