Chapter 345: What Is Real And What Is Not?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the mountain gate, an old man was lying on a chair.
He placed his hands on his stomach and closed his eyes.
He could not sense any martial cultivator’s aura from this old man!
It was as if he was just an ordinary old man.
When Lin Jie walked over, he bowed and cupped his hands at the old man.
Mu Cisheng did the same with ease.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai did the same thing as Shi Sheng and Blackie.
When the three of them stood up and prepared to follow Lin Jie into the Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect,
The old man said dreamily, “As Lin Jie is from the Sword Ancestor, there’s nothing wrong with him bowing tome.1”
“Mu Cisheng has been here many times. He’s a guest of the Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect. It’s only right for him to do this.”
“As for the two of you, you don’t know me at all, let alone someone from Sword Ancestor. Why are you bowing?”‘
Ye Qiubai stopped and didn’t turn around. He smiled with his back facing the old man and said, “Respecting the old and loving the young is the etiquette of the human world. Shouldn’t everyone do it?”
With that, Ye Qiubai continued to follow Lin Jie into the sect.
“Respect the old and love the young. Human etiquette?”
1’he old man muttered to himself and opened his eyes.
There was no turbidity in his eyes.
All that was left was a shocking clarity!
At the same time, a bright light flickered.
As the light flickered, a wave of Sword Intent flashed around the old man’s body!
If Ye Qiubai sensed this Sword Intent, they would definitely be surprised to feel that this Sword Intent was much stronger than the Heavenly Devil Sword Saint or the Four Absolute Sword Saint!
“That’s right. This is the beginning of mankind. 1 wonder how many people have forgotten about it now…”
The old man closed his eyes again and smiled.
“He’s quite a good kid…”
On the way, Lin Jie explained, “When Master brought that old man back to rhe Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect, he was already lying there. All the disciples didn’t know his identity, but no one disturbed him.”
Ye Qiubai nodded.
T his had nothing to do with him.
Greetings were just etiquette.
However, Ye Qiubai was not interested in rhe old man.
The two of them did not know each other, so there was no need to know.
“Alright, since you want to make a pilgrimage, I’ll take you to Master first.” Lin Jie’s master was the Starfall Sword Sect s Sectmaster, Jian Wufeng. Similarly, he was also one of the few existences who had reached the Supreme Realm in the realm of the Sword Dao!
The five of them arrived at Broken Cloud Peak.
Outside the Sect Master’s Hall, Blackie, Shi Sheng and Mu Cisheng were waiting outside.
After Lin Jie asked for instructions, he brought Ye Qiubai in.
At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting on the ground, wiping the heavy sword on his knees with a white cloth.
The heavy sword had no edge.
However, it revealed a supreme Sword Intent!
Ye Qiubai looked at the heavy sword. It was clearly not stained with any dust.
1’he middle-aged man’s eyes were still serious as he carefully and meticulously wiped the heavy sword.
Only those who loved swords.
Only then could he walk further on rhe path of the Sword Dao.
This was not the only condition, but it was a necessary condition!
To be able to take care of his sword so meticulously.
This man was definitely a powerful sword cultivator.
This was what Ye Qiubai was thinking.
Lin Jie walked in front of the middle-aged man and bowed. “Master, I brought
Ye Qiubai here.”
However, the middle-aged man did not raise his head.
It was as if he did not hear Lin Jie’s words. He was still wiping the Edgeless Heavy Sword on his lap.
However, Lin Jie did not care at all. She just stood up straight and waited quietly.
Finally, after two hours, the middle-aged man s gaze changed.
He raised his head slightly.
He carefully observed the heavy sword and confirmed that it was not dirty before nodding.
Then, he stood up. The first thing he did was not look at Lin Jie.
It was as if Lin Jie and Ye Qiubai didn’t exist.
He passed through the two of them.
I le walked out of rhe hall.
Lin Jie and Ye Qiubai followed.
They arrived at a forest.
There was a pool of clear spring water in rhe forest.
The spring water was filled with Sword Intent!
This Sword Intent shocked Ye Qiubai!
Jian Wufeng placed the handkerchief that was used to wipe the Edgeless Heavy
Sword into the Sword Pool and carefully washed it.
Ye Qiubai was surprised to discover that in the pure white and flawless handkerchief, there were quite a few stolen items that were like dust that were washed out by the Sword Pool!
At this moment, Jian Wufeng spoke.
“Some people say that seeing is believing.”
“There’s nothing wrong with rhe meaning of these words, but sometimes, it’s the eyes that lie to themselves.”
“Just like this white handkerchief, you think that my sword is very clean, but now, it can wash out so many dirty things.”
Ye Qiubai was stunned.
It was as if he had grabbed onto something.
He fell into an extremely mysterious realm.
This was the Celestial Realm!
Lin Jie was stunned.
Jian Wufeng pur away the white handkerchief after washing it. He looked at Ye Qiubai with admiration in his eyes.
Sometimes, seeing is believing.
Then, how could he determine what was real and what was fake?
The answer was obvious.
He felt it with his heart.
Ye Qiubai had long comprehended rhe Sword Heart Profundity.
Jian Wufeng’s seemingly unintentional words…
His Sword Heart was tempered once again.
The Sword Intent also began to rise at this moment!
Lin Jie could feel it.
Ye Qiubai’s sword intent was transforming!
A full three days passed.
He had reached the half-step Sword Saint realm!
Only then did Ye Qiubai open his eyes and look at Jian Wufeng. He walked over with a serious expression, cupped his fists, and bowed. He said respectfully, “Thank you for your guidance. Senior.”
Jian Wufeng smiled and waved his hand. “I didn’t give you any pointers. It’s just that I like to nag and talk nonsense.”
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, “How is such advice nonsense?”
Jian Wufeng pointed at Lin Jie, who looked a little ashamed, and said, “There, isn’t there one here to listen to nonsense?”
“Otherwise, why is my disciple still standing there in a daze when you’ve fallen into the Celestial Realm?”
Lin Jie was already a little ashamed.
After hearing his master’s sarcasm, he wished he could be a marmot, dig a hole and hide in it.
Jian Wufeng waved his hand and said, “Alright, I know about your matter. Go,
I’ve already greeted them.”
With that, Jian Wufeng left the forest and entered the Sect Master Hall.
Ye Qiubai cupped his hands at Jian Wufeng’s back again.
Only then did he leave with Lin Jie.
In the Sect Master’s Hall, Jian Wufeng sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly brewed tea.
Then, he started talking.
“Elder Jian, this child is not bad.”
There was no one else beside Jian Wufeng.
At the entrance of the Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect, rhe old man lying on the wooden chair began to mutter to himself.
“That’s right. It’s best if we can think of a way to get him to join the Starfall
Sword Ancestor Sect. This child is more suitable than Lin Jie to be the one to restore the Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect’s glory.”
“Be it character or talent.”
“In the future, the Starfall Sword Ancestor Sect will be even more prosperous with Lin Jie and him.”
Jian Wufeng nodded. “I will, but at that time, Uncle Jian might have to personally teach him.”
The old man nodded without hesitation..
