Chapter 704: 704

With only 39 years left to Qin Yun’s twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation, Qin Liehu and his wife, who had lived long, comfortable lives, did not wish to occupy any of their son’s precious time, nor did they have the mood to go jaunting .

Mt . Lightning Roar . Qin Manor . When the morning sun scattered its rays into the garden, it accentuated the beauty of the flowers .

Qin Yun was focused on reading by a stone table inside the garden .

“Brother Yun . Didn’t you finish writing the third volume of the Misty Rain Sword Dao when you were in seclusion? Why are you still writing?” Yi Xiao walked over .

“This is the sword immortal Dharmic formulation,” said Qin Yun with a smile . “In the Three Realms, sword immortals only have one complete Dharmic formulation that allows them to successfully cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm, that of the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage . As for the Dharmic formulation I created, I couldn’t complete even a Skyimmortal Dharmic formulation because of my low realm back then . This resulted in me becoming an Itinerant Immortal . Now, since I have time, I naturally need to complete the sword immortal Dharmic formulation . “

“Why does it matter if you complete it?”

“The Essence Soul Dharmic formulation has been improved on the original foundation . The Skyimmortal Dharmic formulation should have a 99% chance of success,” said Qin Yun with a smile .

“99%?” Yi Xiao was astonished . “Brother Yun, at your realm, shouldn’t it be 100%?”

“I also believe that it should be 100%, but no one has successfully cultivated it before,” said Qin Yun with a laugh . “So I need to be humble and call it 99% . What I’m now working hard on is having the Dharmic formulation go from Skyimmortal to Golden Immortal . After attaining a perfected Great Dao, I’m more than 90% confident of this Golden Immortal Dharmic formulation! During the epiphany I had in seclusion, I gained quite significant insight into the Heavenly Dao realm bloodline powers . I’m now more than 95% confident in this Golden Immortal Dharmic formulation . “

As he spoke, Qin Yun finished writing the last paragraph in the Dharmic formulation .

“Alright, this Dharmic formulation is done . ” Qin Yun looked at the terrifying sword intent contained within the manual in satisfaction . “From this day forth, the Three Realms has my Misty Rain sword immortal lineage apart from the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage . From mortality to Golden Immortal . “

Only with a complete Dharmic formulation could he be comparable to the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage .

“In the future, a copy of my Sword Dao manual and sword immortal Dharmic formulation will be left in Green Touring Palace,” said Qin Yun . “Like Senior Sister Blackfoal Mountain and the others, all of them have left their best Great Dao concepts in Green Touring Palace .

“Of course, these are all fundamental Dharmic formulations . Things like the Seven Stars Sword Dao, the Supreme Yin Sword Dao, the Supreme Yang Sword Dao, the Misty Rain Sword… are derivation arts, so there’s no need for them to be left in Green Touring Palace,” Qin Yun said . “These derived arts will be exclusive to my Mt . Lightning Roar . In the future, it can be passed down to the Qin family descendants and disciples .

Yi Xiao nodded . “Brother Yun, the sword immortal lineage you created condenses a Essence Soul in human form, while the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage uses a sword form which is rather unorthodox . Hence… ours is considered more orthodox . Unfortunately, no one has cultivated the sword immortal Dharmic formulation you created . “

“That’s right . ” Qin Yun felt mixed emotions .

His years of cultivation allowed him to create a lineage that could match the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage . It was something he was proud of, and something he had put in blood and tears into it .

However, he had no one to take up his mantle . …

While people like Qin Yuluo, Tian Huang, Meng Huan, and his other disciples and family, seemed like obvious choices and were indeed good at sword arts, none of them were sword immortals . After all, Qin Yun did not create a complete sword immortal Dharmic formulation early on .

“Whoosh . “

Qin Yun waved his hand as space-time distorted, allowing him to connect to a distant void .

There was a silver-haired elder reading through books with a large pile of books beside him .

“Senior Brother Qin . ” The silver-haired elder stood up immediately when he saw Qin Yun .

“Junior Brother Hu, help me check if there are any sword immortal geniuses in the Three Realms who are stuck in the mortal realm,” Qin Yun requested . “The sword immortal lineage I created requires a few disciples . “

“Senior Brother Qin, rest assured that I’ll do it for you . Our Green Touring Palace will spare no expense at scouring the Three Realms for sword immortal geniuses,” said the silver-haired elder immediately . Green Touring Palace was a powerful faction in the Three Realms, spreading across numerous Great Worlds and countless Small Worlds . There were naturally people in Green Touring Palace who handled such trifling matters . This Junior Brother Hu was in charge of gathering intelligence .

The space-time continuum restored to normal .

Qin Yun smiled at Yi Xiao . “How about it? I’ll soon find a suitable disciple . “

“To think you came up with the idea of getting Green Touring Palace to search the Three Realms for you,” said Yi Xiao with a laugh .

“Just being a little capricious . ” Qin Yun msed . “Although I’m very confident in my Dharmic formulation, I still wish to see a junior master it . Since we’re searching the entire Three Realms for a sword immortal genius, I believe becoming a Skyimmortal in a short period of time wouldn’t be difficult . “

…

Qin Yun’s instruction made the Green Touring Palace’s intelligence department do its best to gather information . Some sword immortal geniuses who were astounding in Small Worlds were rather mediocre when placed in a dominion . There were few who were truly stunning in the Three Realms .

In just two days, a report was delivered to Qin Yun .

Through a warped spatial passageway, a dossier flew out . The silver-haired elder said politely, “Senior Brother Qin, recorded in the dossier are nineteen sword immortal geniuses of the Three Realms who are stuck in the mortal realm . All of them cultivate in the sword immortal Dharmic formulation and are unable to switch to other Dharmic formulations . “

“Alright . ” Qin Yun received the dossier .

The spatial passageway disappeared as Qin Yun looked through them carefully .

Nineteen geniuses…

Some came from the Heavenly realm while others came from the various dominions .

“Bian Hanyu?” Upon seeing the report, he immediately had a karmic connection . Qin Yun looked up and into the distance and saw the woman named Bian Hanyu in a distant Great World .

As he looked at the woman, he easily saw the girl’s history spanning nearly 500 years .

In front of an existence like Qin Yun, even an ordinary mighty figure could not hide their history, much less a mortal .

Time flew by .

“Brother Yun, what are you looking at?” Yi Xiao walked in with some tea .

“It’s the report regarding the sword immortal geniuses in the Three Realms,” said Qin Yun . “I will view the past of every sword immortal genius on this dossier through the river of time . After all, the intelligence gathered was through the factions under Green Touring Palace . The details cannot be fully trusted . “

“How is it?” asked Yi Xiao .

“I’ve gone through all of them, and I’m quite pleased with two of them,” Qin Yun said with a laugh . “One of them is a female sword immortal named Bian Hanyu, the other is a young sword immortal named Yu Gufeng . “

Yi Xiao picked up the dossier and read through it . She quickly found Bian Hanyu’s and Yu Gufeng’s records and said in astonishment,”This Bian Hanyu is almost 500 years old . She’s almost at the end of her life?”

Mortal Connate Golden Cores could only live up to 500 years .

“Yes, she is the one with the highest realm among the nineteen sword immortal geniuses . She has already reached the mid-stage Skyimmortal realm,” Qin Yun said . “Many immortals are in good standing with her, having agreed to watch over her once she reincarnates . “

“This Yu Gufeng is very good as well . In just two hundred years of cultivation, his realm is already at the early stages of the Skyimmortal realm,” Yi Xiao said .

“Let’s go and take a look at these two,” Qin Yun said with a smile .

Yi Xiao’s eyes lit up . “Alright, let’s go . “

The two vanished from the study and headed for a distant Great World .

In the Nine Mills Great World, a nameless lake .

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao appeared out of thin air .

“This is Bian Hanyu . ” Qin Yun looked into the distance where there was a bamboo hut by the side of the lake . In front of the hut was a black-robed woman leisurely reading . By her feet was a black cat with glistening fur which was sleeping soundly . In her arms was a fat tabby cat, and in by the side of the lake, there was a snow-white cat attempting to catch fish .

“She’s quite fond of cats . These three cats are all cat demons,” Yi Xiao said . “They are already at the Essence Soul realm . “

“That’s why Bian Hanyu is also known as Sword Immortal Cat,” said Qin Yun with a laugh .

“You came with the purpose of being her master; who knows if she’s willing to take you as her master,” quipped Yi Xiao .

Qin Yun was slightly startled .

News of him transcending the Itinerant Immortal tribulation was spread even among Skyimmortals and Skyfiends . Since Bian Hanyu had acquaintances at the Skyimmortal realm, she naturally knew of Sword Immortal Qin . Would she be willing to become the disciple of Sword Immortal Qin who was about to experience the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation?

“We’ll know in a while if she’s agreeable to it . ” Qin Yun walked with his wife over .
