Chapter 432: Sitting on the Well and Watching the Sky
Although the situation was urgent, since they didn’t know exactly how urgent it was, Tian Wenjin and the others still sent the box to its destination first before they fully unfolded their recluse method and flew towards the Dao Sword Sect.
It was said that they were flying at full power, but just like how much water could be filled in a bucket was determined by the shortest plank, how fast the five of them could fly was all determined by the one who flew the slowest.
There were two Foundation Establishment Stage among the five, two low-ranked cultivators who followed the big brother to rub off on their quest experience; they were very slow and couldn’t manage to fly back to the Dao Sword Sect in a single breath.
So not only were they slow, they had to stop halfway to rest and recover their mana.
On the morning of the 18th day, after the two Foundation Establishment disciples barely flew over Wuyi Mountain in the middle of North Chu, they couldn’t hold on any longer, so the few of them looked for a flat grassy area to rest on the adjacent barren mountain.
“The loss of mana from long distance flights is just too great ……,” said one of the Foundation Establishment disciples as he plopped down on the grass and gasped for breath, “I don’t know what’s wrong with the clan, to call us back in this way. ”
A Jindan disciple found a rock next to him and sat on it to rest, sniffing and glancing at him, he said, “When you turn into a baby, the heaven and the earth will be connected, and the aura of heaven and earth will be your aura. The outside world’s aura you bring and use, no longer worrying about mana loss.”
“Yuanying stage?” This Foundation Establishment disciple shook his head, he was currently not even talking about something like the Barrier Breaking Pill, his perception of Jindan was still in a stage of ignorance, and he couldn’t even see any hope of conjugating, “I don’t even know if I can conjugate, and still YuanYing Stage?”
Another Foundation Establishment disciple took the opportunity to ask, ”Senior brother, what exactly is the difference between the Jindan Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage? I read that we have to condense the qi cyclone to turn it into a Jindan. But how do you condense the qi whirlpools? How do I control the mana inside the dantian?”
This Jindan disciple smiled inscrutably as he said, ”Cultivation is traveling against the heavens, one step is one heaven. The gap between Foundation Establishment and Jindan is a heavenly rift. Jindan is already a completely different realm for Foundation Establishment. You still need more comprehension. Sense of life, sense of nature, sense of kung fu, the Dao, is the need for enlightenment. But how much one has to realize, all depends on their respective enlightenment.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is!” The two Foundation Establishment disciples nodded their heads if they felt something, “Thanks for the guidance, Senior Brother.”
The Jindan disciple smiled haughtily and said, “I didn’t really say anything, it’s all what you guys realized on your own.”
Tian Wenjin had little attrition and helped them guard from the side. She heard that Jindan disciple’s bullshit, looked over, and said in a cold voice with the Foundation Establishment disciple, ”You can’t even control your mana or qi cyclone, and you’re still talking about conjugating dan? Your foundation is too poor, why don’t you polish your mana more, strengthen your physical body, and calm your mind, tamping down your foundation and cultivating quietly is better than anything else.”
This Foundation Establishment disciple was criticized for nothing and felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, but he glanced at Tian Wenjin and didn’t dare to say anything back.
The other Foundation Establishment disciple again thought that Tian Wenjin was not only unwilling to instruct them himself, but also forbade others to do so, and he could not help but complain in his heart.
Tian Wenjin was pretty, but too cold, so cold that no one could get close to her. She wasn’t very popular. Especially when onlookers heard that she had realized the Emotionless Sword Intent, they were even more reluctant to make deep connections with her.
The change in the eyes of the two Foundation Establishment disciples Tian Wen Jin saw it in her eyes, but she didn’t care and withdrew her sight, continuing to guard them.
Tian Wenjin had good talent, plus she hadn’t been influenced by Qin Ran much over the years, and she also paid close attention to root polishing. Therefore, her cultivation was very deep. With an unusual rush like this, her consumption was very, very small, and she didn’t need to purposely sit down to recover her mana.
However, the other two Jindan disciples were different, they were quite consumed and also needed to meditate to recover their mana.
So four men meditated while one man was on guard.
Soon, an hour passed.
At this point, Tian Wenjin sat down on the branch of a large tree nearby.
Her slender fingers were picking up a spider’s tooth and staring at it in fascination. Her eyes were mesmerized, and her mind recalled that night of snow, that village wooden house, and that dim oil lamp …… that was a beauty she would never be able to touch again in this life.
The spider teeth are the teeth of a kind of ghost faced spider, which she spent a lot of effort to get from the Deaconess Hall …… to get to keep as a souvenir.
Suddenly, more than a dozen recluse lights flew past in the air not far away, calling Tian Wenjin back to her senses, she casually swept a glance, not caring.
Although the big clans were all far away from the earthly world, the small clans didn’t have so many preoccupations, and it wasn’t uncommon for a few cultivators to occasionally pass by in this sky.
She withdrew her eyes to look at the spider teeth and thought of that person …… again What is she doing? Still at the Sword Washing Lake to participate in the new sword technique? Or is she talking to her master …… or ……
Her heart throbbed with worry as she thought of the word danger on her identity token, and she returned to her senses, ready to go and call those few senior brothers to depart.
But before she could move, she first saw the dozen or so recluse lights that had just flown past flying back. Not only did they fly back, they also landed.
They landed on the ground, in front of her tree, and she heard a young cultivator whispering quietly with the older cultivator at the head, “That’s her, I’ve seen her before, the Dao Sword Sect’s five greatest beauties. I won’t be mistaken.”
The leader tilted his head to look at Tian Wenjin on the tree, knowing that such a beautiful female cultivator would never be forgotten by anyone who had seen it, so he didn’t ask more questions and believed the young cultivator’s words.
He took a step forward and gave a programmed, standardized “hahaha” laugh before cupping his fists with Tian Wenjin and saying, “My name is Spirit Sword Mountain Mountain Master Wang Qi, I’ve met His Excellency Tian Wenjin of the Dao Sword Sect’s Upper Sect.”
Tian Wen Jin slowly and methodically put the spider teeth into his arms and turned his head sideways, not looking squarely at this Spirit Sword Mountain dozen or so people, only glancing coldly at them.
She spoke out, “If you were smart enough, you should have left immediately. Knowing my name, you should not have come back or entertained that thought.
“You still have the opportunity to leave with your disciples now, and I will not pursue the matter.”
“Fellow Daoist Tian ……” Wang Qi didn’t care about Tian Wenjin’s warning as he smiled with his hands crossed, “I will be paying a visit to Zhi Ginseng Valley, but I’m still short of an obeisance. Can you …… and these four Dao Sword Sect Daolords be our obeisance? Heads, jindans, and innate magic weapons are all fine.”
At this time those two Jindan Stage Dao Sword Sect cultivators woke up, they stood up, their faces serious as they took out their respective innate magic weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.
At the same time, Tian Wenjin flicked his fingers and popped out two faint electric lights, which landed on the heads of the two fellow Foundation Establishment Sect members respectively, forcibly awakening them.
Ignoring their anger and ignorance after being forcibly awakened, Tian Wenjin coldly asked with Wang Qi, “This disciple of yours knows that I’m the Dao Sword Sect’s five greatest beauties, but do you know that I’m the fifth of the Dao Sword Sect’s ten greatest heavenly prides?”
Heaven’s proudest disciple?
Wang Qi had a noticeable freeze, it was entirely possible that a heavenly pride disciple of such a large clan was stronger than a patriarch of a small clan like him, he glanced at the disciple, who had a confused look on his face, apparently only knowing that Tian Wenjin had a good looking face.
But he thought, Tian Wenjin is strong, but he is already a late Jindan cultivator, how much stronger can he be than him?
So he still laughed and said, “Zhi Ginseng Valley has a great favor from this clan, so this time, when he sped to Zhi Ginseng Valley’s aid, this Mountain Master brought most of Spirit Sword Mountain’s strength. May I ask if Your Excellency is even stronger, can you still fight against a sect?”
“Zhi Ginseng Valley, Zhi Ginseng Valley ……” Tian Wenjin knew approximately where the crisis of the Dao Jian Sect originated from this time, she stood up from the branches of the tree, but still flanked towards the crowd of the Spirit Sword Mountain, as she voiced out.
“Junior Uncle Danfeng once told me a story called Sitting in a Well and Watching the Sky. A frog born at the bottom of a well, it sat at the bottom of the well and looked up into the sky, and saw a sky no bigger than the mouth of the well, so it thought the sky was that big.”
She reached out and pressed her hand on the hilt of the Imperial Thunder Sword on her back as she continued, “There’s nothing wrong with you being the sect leader of a small sect. But you shouldn’t think that the majority of Spirit Sword Mountain’s strength would be impressive, nor should you think that you, a Spirit Sword Mountain Mountain Lord, would be impressive.”
“Zip ……”
She began to draw her sword, and a hint of a blue arc of electricity crept through the air.
And as the blue arc of electricity appeared, a screaming sharpness, a coldness that penetrated the soul, also appeared on the bodies of the people on the field at the same time without discrimination.
Royal Thunder Sword, sheathed!
“Zip~pop!”
There was the sound of electricity arcing through the air, and the branches of the tree shook, and Tian Wenjin, who was on the branch, disappeared.
“Look out!”
Wang Qi had been paying attention to Tian Wenjin, and as soon as Tian Wenjin’s side performed her stance, he met her with his native sword, while hastily shouting, “I’ll pester her. You guys form a sword formation!”
The Spirit Sword Mountain disciples struggled to push down the effects of the sword intent as they stabilized their minds and quickly dispersed, looking for their bearings, executing their sword techniques, and beginning to set up the clan’s crushing sword formations.
But ……
At this time they suddenly realized that the Mountain Lord, struck by a blue thunderbolt, directly planted down from mid-air, he plunged into the grass, blue electric light swam around his body, he couldn’t get up for a while.
When the mountain lord greeted him and intercepted Tian Wenjin, they pulled back and set up a formation, and when they were only just about to pinch the sealing technique, the mountain lord fell and lost the ability to fight.
So, how many moves did the mountain lord and Tian Wenjin exchange?
That’s a question they’ll need to spend the rest of their lives thinking about.
After defeating Wang Qi, Tian Wenjin had transformed into a bolt of blue lightning and rushed towards them.
To set up a formation, to set up a formation on the spot in front of a sword cultivator in the hand and a top sword cultivator like Tian Wenjin, even with Qin Ran’s level of formation dao, he wouldn’t dare to do so.
This, then, is a matter of insight.
The small clans were short-sighted and didn’t know the power of the truly powerful.
Wang Qi thought that he could pester Tian Wenjin, and his disciples could set up the formation with ease, and with the sword formation, not to say 100% win, 80% chance of winning is there.
But he overestimated his strength.
He did not think about what would happen if he did not block Tian Wenjin …… The wolf into the flock is not yet able to describe the immediate remnants of the earth, and the tiger into the flock is only possible.
Wang Qi was paralyzed and struggled to restrict the fine sword qi that was running amok in his body.
He lay in the dirt and saw a blue lightning bolt pass instantly through the disciples under his discipline, a few breaths? Or a few blinks? Or a few moments? He did not know. All he knew was that it was short, very short.
His carefully selected disciples were reduced to charcoal.
…… They hadn’t even made it to Chisam Valley yet.
A flower in front of his eyes, that cold and compellingly stunning woman appeared in front of him, she held her sword and pointed it at his brow, her voice colder than ice:
“You actually know that there is a gap in strength, but the number of people gives you a sense of security. You actually knew that you couldn’t beat me, but the clan’s powerful sword formation gave you a sense of fluke. You use your strength to guess my strength, and you use your speed to compare my speed. This is your way to death!”
Wang Qi struggled to dispel the paralyzing feeling in his body as he raised his sword shakily and stabbed at Tian Wenjin.
The sword in Tian Wenjin’s hand slapped to the side, slapping Wang Qi’s sword away.
At the same time, the blue thunder on her sword made up of sword qi ran along Wang Qi’s sword towards his body.
Wang Qi was electrocuted here again and was unable to hold his sword.
His sword fell to the grass and rolled like a piece of scrap metal on the grass.
“You were fortunate to suffer for hundreds of years, grinding your time to the late Jindan stage, it’s not easy ……,” Tian Wenjin coldly looked at Wang Qi and said, “But you shouldn’t get involved in the big clan’s affairs. You should honestly stay at Spirit Sword Mountain, your stage is there.”
Wang Qi struggled to look at Tian Wenjin, who raised his sword and chopped his head off with a single blow. He would never know how strong a Jindan cultivator could be.
“And the last thing you should do is bother me when I’m thinking about her.”
This sentence Tian Wenjin did not say.
She flung the sword in her hand, flung it into mid-air, and her entire body stepped on the blue electric light to fly onto the sword again, turning back and saying, “Depart for the clan.”
The four people from the Dao Sword Sect who were attacked indiscriminately by the sword intent only came back to their senses at this moment, and they looked up at the cold and arrogant woman in the air as a chill surged in their hearts.
The two Foundation Establishment disciples swallowed their saliva, came back to their senses, looked at each other, and thought to themselves, “Perhaps what Senior Sister Tian said before was right.”
