Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 689 The Name of the Natal Sword

Meanwhile, Li Wanwan, led by Du Ruoheng and Cheng Junming, had arrived at the entrance to the prison deep within the Silu Hall.

A vortex-shaped entrance filled with gray mist, with a ring of flickering runes slowly rotating around its edge.

Then Du Ruoheng took out the sect leader's token.

Silently, the runes at the edge of the entrance to the Dark Prison dimmed, and the gray mist inside surged rapidly, beginning to swirl around the very center.

Soon, the gray fog gradually thinned, and the previously closed entrance opened.

A passage appeared, leading to the depths of the dark prison.

Du Ruoheng took a deep breath, feigning seriousness:

"Come with me."

He then stepped inside.

Cheng Junming also looked solemn and followed him inside.

"..."

Judging from this, could something really have happened?

Indeed, Li Wanwan's doubts had not completely disappeared.

After all, these two can be quite childish at times.

They still look like two old men, and even at their age, they argue fiercely over trivial matters.

Sometimes she wondered if the pressure of being the sect leader was too great, which caused psychological problems for the two of them.

Who knows what kind of terrible ideas those two will come up with together?

Li Wanwan frowned slightly, unsure of what the two were up to, but ultimately followed them into the prison.

In any case, the matter to be discussed next is related to the 'non-ascended' people who are imprisoned here.

I'll have to go see him sooner or later.

Inside the prison.

The gray fog kept swirling, making it impossible to discern any direction.

As the prison personally built by Xu Xing, the gray mist surging inside the Dark Prison will cause the space within to become disordered and distorted.

In addition, it inherently suppresses the characteristics of cultivators.

Therefore, even someone at the Cave Realm level would be completely lost inside if they entered without permission.

Those who have passed the authentication only need to keep the information about the 'prisoner' in mind and keep walking forward to reach the area where the prisoner is located.

During the most bustling period of the Sword Sect's Dark Prison, it imprisoned three terrifying Cave True Demons, seven Profound Demons, and fifteen Dao Integration Demons.

However, most of these old villains died in that 'bloody calamity' back then, and only a very small number survived.

Li Wanwan walked forward while recalling relevant information about the Sword Sect's Huilao.

The next second, Du Ruoheng and Cheng Junming, who were walking in front of him, suddenly stopped.

Ok?
"We'll be there soon, we shouldn't follow any longer," Du Ruoheng said seriously. "Remember to be careful in everything you do."

Damn it, that line again!
They didn't even change the lines.

The thought of how he had been fooled in the same way before made Cheng Junming feel a little upset.

At that time, he thought there were some serious taboos, and he was very careful when he met people...

After testing the waters, I realized that the person didn't even look down on me.

Despite his inner grumbling, Cheng Junming outwardly maintained a serious demeanor.

Upon hearing this, Li Wanwan glanced at the two of them suspiciously before continuing to walk deeper into the area.

Until her figure completely disappeared into the churning gray fog.

"Brother Du, this way we won't be able to see what happened, will we?" Cheng Junming frowned.

This is the Dark Prison that even Dongzhen could suppress.

"Not urgent."

Du Ruoheng calmly took out the sect leader's token and infused it with a wisp of magic power.

hum~
A beam of light projected from the token, forming a pale blue, semi-transparent light screen in front of the two people.

In the scene, Xu is seen sitting in the center of an exquisite magic array.

The ever-changing array of light illuminated her body, and one could vaguely see that on the immeasurable 'True Runes of Ruins' that constituted her true god body, there were now faint, almost imperceptible, bright lightning patterns.

Even the edges of her pupils now had a ring of light blue, fine lightning patterns, giving her a sense of 'majesty' and 'severity'.

This is the result of her quiet study of the "Nine Thunderbolts Secret Ritual True Scripture" during this period.

In theory, one cannot cultivate within the Dark Prison.

However, Xu Xing wanted to observe the changes in her after practicing the "Nine Thunderbolts Secret Ritual True Scripture," so he relaxed the restrictions on her.

Soon, Li Wanwan appeared on the screen.

However, Xu, who was sitting in the center of the magic circle, remained motionless, and did not even open his eyes.

correct!

That's it!

"Nice to meet you. I am Li Wanwan, the sect leader of Lingyin Pavilion."

Perhaps because of the two people's behavior just now, Li Wanwan seemed particularly cautious.

Just when Du Ruoheng and Cheng Junming thought the ruins would continue to ignore them...

Xu opened his eyes, his tone calm:

"Witness to the end of the world, Ruins, do you have any questions for me?"

Although his attitude wasn't particularly good, it was clearly much better than the way he looked at 'ants' before.

The two people who witnessed this scene paused for a moment.

This is wrong!

We haven't even brought up the patriarch yet, how come this guy is already speaking?!
……

……

Any questions?

Looking at the ruins not far in front of her, Li Wanwan felt a sense of unease.

Those two need to be careful.

But he didn't say anything about whether he should be careful.

Xu looked at her calmly, his heart unmoved.

The Sect Master of Lingyin Pavilion...

Clearly, he is the same kind of person as the two weaklings before him, and the way he will be dealt with will be decided by them after discussion.

She doesn't want to die.

So even if the person in front of you is far weaker than yourself...

On the other hand, she also realized that everything had changed.

I am now in a strange and powerful world, and it is no longer appropriate to use my old ideas to understand and deal with the things happening in this world.

Xu kept reminding himself of this.

"I will answer truthfully as long as I know the answer."

Isn't this going quite smoothly?

“I looked at your information before I came here,” Li Wanwan said first.

Xu remained calm, but in his mind, he used this sentence to deduce information about the world he was in, combining it with everything that had happened before.

The true God cannot be looked upon directly, cannot be understood, and cannot be fathomed...

A transcendent being at the 'Igniting Divine Fire' level had reviewed his own information, yet there were no signs of 'corrosion' on his body.

Alternatively, this special space might have suppressed his power, causing him to lose most of his 'extraordinary characteristics'.

It's also possible that the great being behind her enabled them to easily shield themselves from this kind of 'erosion'.

Or perhaps it's due to different systems, differences in world rules, or other reasons...

“From what I’ve read, you’ve led many worlds to their demise,” Li Wanwan asked.

"I did it for the ritual, to become stronger," Xu confessed.

Again.

Under the watchful gaze of a great being, all lies are meaningless.

The reason she led the world toward annihilation was to complete the ritual, which is the 'cultivation' in this world's concept.

“But I can fix it.”

To prevent this ant from 'igniting the divine fire' before her... the weakling couldn't understand, so she continued:
“Those who are guided by me to the world of annihilation will remain in the last moment before the arrival of ‘Return to Nothingness’.”

"By simply entering the world and sorting out the timeline, we can restart the world."

"That true god who fell into slumber because of me and the Taiyi Realm—if you wish, I can go to that world and bring him back." Li Wanwan: "..."

The two of them seem to be cooperating quite well. What exactly are they trying to be careful about?
“I understand.” She nodded slightly. “Before me, were there two other people like me who came to you?”

If you can't figure it out, just ask.

"Yes, but because of some past beliefs, I didn't pay much attention to them at first."

Now I understand.

The world doesn't seem to have such a strong concept of 'rank difference'.

Then she naturally needs to change some of her attitudes and practices.

After all, this is a vast world with several great beings, even more powerful than her original world!
Could you please elaborate?

That must be the reason.

"can."

Du Ruoheng and Cheng Junming, who were observing the situation here through the sect leader's command, paused for a moment.

not good!

……

……

For a period of time afterwards.

The remaining sect leaders of the Immortal Sects and several Dongzhen disciples arrived at the Sword Sect one after another, and under Du Ruoheng's guidance, they went together to Huilao to see the Ruins.

Having already grasped the situation, Xu cooperated fully, answering all questions honestly, no matter who asked them.

It's just...

After all, she had been influenced by the concept of 'rank difference' ever since she came into contact with the extraordinary, and even if she wanted to change, it wouldn't be something she could change in a short time.

The contrast becomes even more apparent when one goes to the Dao together with the Daoist.

Although Xu answered everyone's questions truthfully.

But when speaking to He Dao, he always has a 'condescending' feeling.

However, when speaking to Dongzhen, he was an equal, even somewhat 'humble' person...

Although this kind of thing is also very normal in the Tai Xuan Realm.

But there aren't many who portray it so 'obviously'.

What's strange is that Du Ruoheng, the sect leader of the Sword Sect, spoke very little during this process, and even Cheng Junming remained silent.

On the contrary, Li Wanwan displayed a completely different state from the two of them.

As for the reasons, they are probably "one wrong step can lead to eternal regret" and "cleverness can backfire".

……

……

inner door.

Xu Xing was standing in front of the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

Bie Xuening was standing beside him, with Chi Jiuyu looking anxious and with her head down behind her, and Yue Ling diligently mopping the floor.

Didn't I recently acquire the Supreme Collector's Edition controller from Chi Jiuyu for five times the price?

Her savings shrank significantly, so she came back to the Sword Ancestor's Hall to "work" and earn some pocket money to replenish her savings.

As for Chi Jiuyu.

The reason she came here was actually to fulfill her promise—

She asked Xu Xing to name her natal sword.

When they arrived, they discovered that Bie Xuening was also there!

Then it got awkward.

In Chi Jiuyu's view, she was her master's most loyal and personally taught disciple, and she should ask her master about the name of her natal sword.

But instead, he secretly went to see his martial uncle and bumped right into his master...

She's feeling incredibly guilty right now.

If my master finds out why I came here, will she doubt my loyalty to her?
"Give way! Give way!"

Yue Ling pushed a mop that was taller than her by more than half her height to her side.

Chi Jiuyu took a step back, letting her drag him over.

Watching her retreating figure, I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

She gets such a large sum of pocket money just for mopping the floor; it seems like she's just making up some excuse to give her money...

Gee!

My uncle is truly amazing to Yue Ling!

That being said, while my uncle is proficient in all the arts of cultivation, my master's level in these arts is relatively average.

It's very likely that he learned it after reaching a higher level of understanding...

This shows that my uncle must have been richer than my master back then!

Would he also try to bribe his master with various excuses?
After all, her master is quite proud and aloof; if her uncle offered her money directly, she definitely wouldn't accept it...

Chi Jiuyu watched Yue Ling's retreating figure, her mind filled with all sorts of wild thoughts.

Turning around, she found that Bie Xuening, who had been looking into the distance, had turned around at some point and was calmly staring at her.

Chi Jiuyu shuddered, and her legs went weak instantly.

What are you doing here?

A soft sound stopped her from using the 'Tiger Crouching Pose'.

Yes!

Unless absolutely necessary, a master will not read one's mind.

"I, I, I..."

She had to say "I" several times before she forced herself to calm down.

"I've come to see my martial uncle... I have something to discuss with him."

"What's wrong?" Xu Xing asked curiously. "Are you short on pocket money again? But isn't your talisman-making business booming?"

To be fair, Jiu Yu's talent in talismanic arts is quite good.

Although it can't compare to her exaggerated swordsmanship talent, it's still among the top tier.

"It's not about pocket money."

Chi Jiuyu glanced cautiously at Bie Xuening.

Through tireless practice, she has now skipped the 'assembly line' stage of many talisman makers and started taking on customized talisman making services.

In particular, the custom-made sword energy talismans she sold have never received a single negative review to date.

"I have something very important to ask my uncle for help!"

Whatever, let them die!

She took a deep breath:

"I'd like to ask you, my martial uncle, to name my natal sword!"

Xu Xing: "..."

That's it?

I thought you blew up the main hall.

"name?!"

Suddenly, Yue Ling, who was mopping the floor, stopped and turned to look at the three of them.

"How about we call it Wind Spirit? Jiu Yu's natal sword admires Sister Moon Shadow a lot!"

Ok?
Could there be some connection between 'Moon Shadow' and 'Wind Spirit'?
While Chi Jiuyu was still thinking.

Bie Xuening glanced at Yue Ling:
"Mop your floor."

Yue Ling scratched her head:

"I was just offering a suggestion, nothing more..."

Seeing that her owner's eyes had become a little dangerous, she shrank back, turned around, and continued mopping the floor.

Seeing this, Bie Xuening withdrew her gaze and looked at Chi Jiuyu:
"This name is not suitable for your sword."

This time, Chi Jiuyu wholeheartedly agreed:
“Master is right, that’s what we think too.”

She is the number one genius in all the heavens and myriad realms, so her natal sword must have a majestic and domineering name!
Wind spirits and such...

It's not that it's bad, it just doesn't feel quite "high-class".

If someone didn't know her, they might think she was a sword cultivator with a 'wind attribute' upon hearing her name!
