Chapter 66: Respectfully Sending off the Sect Master

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Old Sword King, you shouldn’t have come out.”

Hearing what the old Sect Master said, King Zhendong laughed lightly. The streaming light behind her flashed and she showed no intention of backing down.

The old Sect Master laughed faintly and said, “What do you mean?”

King Zhendong immediately let out a tinkling laugh and covered her mouth. “You can hide it from others, but you can’t hide it from us. You’re only at the peak of the eighth level of the Dao Platform Realm and your life is coming to an end. You may die any moment now.”

Wow—

As soon as she said that, a commotion arose in the Thousand Autumn Valley.

“King Zhendong said… that the Sect Master is only at the eighth level of the Dao Platform?”

“But didn’t the Sect Master previously say that his cultivation level has already reached the Primal Core Realm and that he can deal with all our powerful enemies?”

“King Zhendong and King Zhennan are both our enemies. There’s no need for them to lie to us about this!”

Sensing the reaction of the disciples from the Thousand Autumn Valley, King Zhendong chuckled again. “So I see. These pitiful fellows think that you’re already in the Primal Core Realm? No wonder no one from the Thousand Autumn Valley has escaped until now. Unfortunately, they will soon pay for this lie of yours with their lives.”

Whoosh—

The commotion in the Thousand Autumn Valley became even more intense.

If there were no Primal Core Realm experts in the Thousand Autumn Valley since the beginning, then what could they use to resist the attack of the Xuanwu imperial court?

“If that’s the case…”

In an instant, panic and fear and all kinds of negative emotions spread among the crowd.

The Tianjue Sect Master and the other experts heaved a big sigh of relief.

“It’s alright, it’s alright. It seems that the imperial court has attached great importance to our report and sent two dukes at one go. In this way, the outcome is set and there will be peace for a long time!”

The thin young man opened his mouth again and again, but in the end, he only let out a weak sigh.

“Perhaps… this is fate.”

The arrival of two great dukes finally forced the old Sword King to come out of seclusion early.

Given that the old Sword King, Ji Qixi, made a move early, it meant that he would no longer have the time or opportunity to try and break through to the Primal Core Realm.

“Both, are these your last words?”

After hearing what King Zhendong said, the old Sect Master’s smile remained unchanged. He just turned around calmly and swept his gaze across every corner of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

In his eyes, there were nostalgia, memories, lamentation and regret.

In the end, his gaze landed in the direction of Qionghua Courtyard.

Then, a faint look of shock appeared in the old Sect Master Ji Qixi’s eyes. “Is this… the legendary Comprehension Tribulation?”

He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed loudly. His laughter became louder and louder, and his turbid old eyes suddenly shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

“The Thousand Autumn Valley will not be destroyed!”

“It was like this 700 years ago… It will be the same 700 years later!”

The old man was already extremely aged and frail. His eyesight was blurry and his body was hunched. There was even a faint aura of death that kept emitting from his body, a sign that his life was about to end.

There was one thing that King Zhendong had not guessed wrongly.

After coming out of seclusion early, the old man no longer had the chance to start all over again. Even if he went into seclusion again, the chances of him breaking through were infinitely close to zero.

“Old Sword King, you’re crazy—”

King Zhennan’s body trembled and disbelief appeared in his eyes. He said sternly, “You’re forcefully attacking now because you want to use your ashes to welcome that person’s arrival?!”

“Hehe, that person is coming anyway. If I’m not willing to risk my life and try, how can I hold on to that chance of survival?”

The old Sect Master seemed to have come to accept the realities of many things. Although he still looked old, he looked incomparably energetic at this moment. He touched the sword at his waist that had accompanied him for 100 years and suddenly leaped up, heading straight for the two dukes.

Behind the old man’s head, eight Mystical Wheels rose one after another, followed by eight Dao Platforms. They were all surrounded by a strong aura of death. Suddenly, the aura of death began to burn violently, igniting the eight Dao Platforms and spreading to the eight Mystical Wheels.

Majestic blood essence erupted from the old sect master’s body in an extremely horrifying manner.

“Ji Qixi! You’re courting death by doing this!”

Under the impact of that tragically intense blood essence, even the two dukes could not help but retreat as they felt a sense of unprecedented pressure.

King Zhendong’s expression was dark and as still as water, and her voice was no longer as frivolous as before. “If you go all out like this, you’ll die from exhaustion within a short period of time!”

The old Sword King of the Thousand Autumn Valley was really too old.

Although the old Sword King was extremely powerful, his lifespan was coming to an end and his blood essence was almost completely exhausted. If he attacked with all his might, he would not be able to control the loss of his blood essence. What the old Sword King was doing was equivalent to burning up his remaining lifespan.

If the old Sword King attacked now, he would not be able to see the arrival of that person!

“If my death can be exchanged for a new beginning for the Thousand Autumn Valley… so what if I die?”

Under the firelight, the old Sect Master laughed heartily. He straightened his hunched body like a divine sword that would rather break than bend!

Lei Shao’s body suddenly trembled, as if he had realized something.

In the Thousand Autumn Valley, more people walked out one after another and looked at the figure in the sky. An inexplicable sense of grief spread and filled every corner of the air.

“Ji Qixi, you’re courting death in advance!”

In the sky, King Zhennan’s stern shout could also be heard.

However, in the next moment, all the shouts were drowned out by the old Sect Master’s laughter.

“Everyone, this old man has been in charge of the Thousand Autumn Valley for 120 years. Now that I’m finally going to embark on the path of rebirth, aren’t you all going to send this old man off?”

Lei Shao trembled violently and breathed heavily, almost unable to control himself.

However, in the end, he suppressed the grief in his chest and cupped his hands to bow to the sky.

“Respectfully sending off the Sect Master!”

“Respectfully sending off the Sect Master!”

“Thousand Autumn Valley… Respectfully sending off the Sect Master!”

More and more voices sounded from all directions and turned into a surging torrent that rumbled like thunder, shaking the huge mountain ranges of Mount Canglan.

“We’re all… respectfully sending off the Sect Master!”

“Everyone, I’m leaving—”

A dazzling sword light lit up, dispelling the haze in everyone’s hearts and illuminating the world.

The brilliant sword light was like an ancient current that pressed forward, separating Yin and Yang.

In an instant, the two dukes were swallowed up.

There was also an extremely faint light that quietly disappeared from everyone’s sight and headed straight for Qionghua Courtyard.

“Fellow practitioner Feng… Please help out with the future of the Thousand Autumn Valley…”

At the very end, the old Sect Master’s gaze seemed to be looking into the distance, but also seemed to be looking back at the Thousand Autumn Valley. He wanted to turn everything that was familiar into a painting and imprint it on his true spirit.

The figures of the two dukes exploded into a bloody mist. The old Sect Master’s figure also quickly faded away, dissipating bit by bit with the wind.

“Master…”

Weeping sounds came from the Thousand Autumn Valley.
