Chapter 724: 724

Inside that restaurant, Qin Yun suddenly turned his head upon sensing something .

Far away beyond the windows .

A figure was fleeing in desperation as three figures were pursuing her .

“Beauty, you won’t escape . “

“Surrender without a fuss, and you won’t suffer as much . “

The trio chasing after her emanated dark-red fiendish auras that spread everywhere . It caused the surrounding space to dim a little . Their strength was a lot more terrifying than Gongye Bing, the county governor Qin Yun met in his youth .

The person fleeing was a female cultivator with fluttering fairy clothes . Her face was pale and there was a look of despair in her eyes . “If I were to fall in the hands of these fiendish cultivators, I’ll really lead a life worse than death . “

“Take this!” One of the three fiendish cultivators threw out a black hoop that streaked out afterimages as it smashed at the female cultivator .

The female cultivator flicked her sleeves which expanded in size to block off the black hoop . But from that clash, her sleeve exploded, blasting the female cultivator’s fair arms with bloody injuries .

“Have another taste of my treasure’s prowess!” Another fiendish cultivator spat out six purplish-red centipedes that crawled through the air extremely quickly .

“If I can’t escape, I’d rather die then fall into their hands . ” The female cultivator steeled her resolve .

At that critical moment—

A flying boat approached from afar . Standing on it was a man in commoner clothes . A bunch of youths were watching nervously on the boat as well .

The man roared angrily, “Fiendish bastards, meet your death!”

“Whew!”

A blinding sword beam shot out from the man’s hand and instantly, there was Sword Flash Dissociation . Thousands of sword flashes howled as they enveloped the three fiendish cultivators .

“No good . ” The three fiendish cultivators wore a drastic change in expression upon seeing this .

“It’s a Sword Lunatic from Misty Rain Sword Sect . “

“We bumped into a Sword Lunatic . “

The three fiendish cultivators joined forces to fully resist the attacks of over a thousand sword flashes and barely managed to withstand the attack momentarily .

On the distant flying boat, the man sneered when he saw this . “Little Bastards, you do have some means . ” With that said, the thousand plus sword flashes suddenly fused as one again, forming a terrifying sword beam . To the three fiendish cultivators’ horror, the beam tore through their defenses and penetrated their bodies and destroyed their souls . All three were instantly killed .

“Phew . ” Sword flashes carried the remains of these three fiendish cultivators back to the man’s side before he waved his hand to store them away .

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, for saving my life . I’m Ethereal Palace’s Luo Qi . ” The woman was extremely grateful .

“Haha, Sister Luo Qi, as Daoist disciples, we should help one another,” said the man with a laugh . “I’m returning to my sect . You can join me and we’ll take you back to Ethereal Palace along the way . “

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wang . ” The female cultivator was delighted . She was heavily injured, so gaining the help of Senior Brother Wang made it a lot safer for her .

She immediately flew onto the flying boat which tore through the air and continued proceeding forward .

“Haha, did you see that, punks?” The man smiled at the bunch of youths on the flying boat . “My Misty Rain Sword Sect’s sword cultivators are unparalleled . Killing those fiendish cultivators is as easy as cutting vegetables . “

The eyes of the youths lit up .

The female cultivator Luo Qi nodded and said with a smile, “Young lads, sword cultivators are well known to be good at combat . All of them are able to fight beyond their level! Senior Brother Wang is at the Connate Golden Core, but he is able to fight Fiendcelestials . It is your good luck that you are becoming disciples of the Misty Rain Sword Sect . “

“They are good seedlings selected from the surrounding eighteen counties . There’s just twenty, but to become a sword immortal? Hehe, cultivating to become a sword immortal is nearly the most difficult among all the Daoist practices,” the man said as he looked at the bunch of youths . “It’s nothing at all if you can’t reach the Connate realm . If you were able to cultivate to the Connate Golden Core realm like me, that would be something . To truly reign supreme in the world, you need to reach the Essence Soul Earth Immortal realm . “

“Got it . ” The youths nodded in unison . They had long wanted to become Golden Cores to reign supreme over the world and spend days slaying fiendish demons .

“Uncle Wang, you were talking about our Misty Rain Sword Sect’s Ancestral Master, Sword Immortal Qin, that he killed many fiendish mighty figures . You aren’t done with the story yet,” a youth said .

The man smiled and said, “Our Misty Rain Sword Sect’s Ancestral Master has killed many fiendish mighty figures . As for Skyfiends, Ancestral Master has killed an innumerable number . He forced the fiends to stoop to infiltrating our Small Worlds, and not the Great Worlds! Hence, you must remember, lads, our Misty Rain Sword Sect’s cultivation is infinitely promising . “

“The fiends only dare to enter the Small Worlds and not the Great Worlds because of our Ancestral Master, Sword Immortal Qin?” These youths were thrilled when they heard that .

By the side, Luo Qi felt envious listening to it as well .

As mighty figures had descended with embodiments to preach the Dao everywhere, many sects in the Small Worlds had the shadows of mighty figures behind them .

Ethereal Palace was also established by the embodiment of an ordinary mighty figure . It also had rather formidable means .

But compared to the Misty Rain Sword Sect?

The Misty Rain Sword Sect was created by Qin Yun . In order to deal with the fiends, he figured out many potent sword arts that could be cast at low levels . Misty Rain Sword Sect disciples horrified fiendish cultivators to the point of them calling them Sword Lunatics . They were enemies the fiendish cultivators feared the most! Every sword cultivator grew and rose up through combat . Although the number of disciples was lacking, their combat strength was best among all the sects in the Small Worlds .

…

Qin Yun watched this scene from the restaurant . Over the past three thousand years, millions of his embodiments had visited every Small World in the Three Realms . Many Small Worlds had a Misty Rain Sword Sect established .

Although cultivation in the Misty Rain Sword Sect was difficult, with few disciples in each world, combining the countless Small Worlds together… made for quite a massive number! The Misty Rain Sword Sect had already become an important sect in the Three Realms . Although the Grand Supreme sword immortal lineage had begun relaxing its requirements for disciples, it was not as widespread as Qin Yun’s . Its influence was a lot lower .

When countless cultivators in the Three Realms mention Sword Lunatics, they were typically referring to the Misty Rain Sword Sect .

“Oh? Hanyu has figured out a Great Dao?” Qin Yun revealed a look of pleasant surprise .

******

Mt . Lightning Roar was presently a sacred land of the countless disciples of the Three Realms’ Misty Rain Sword Sect .

“Master, I have already figured out a Great Dao, the Dao of Heavenly Secrets,” said Bian Hanyu reverently .

“Heavenly Secrets? An ordinary Great Dao?” Qin Yun was somewhat delighted, but also disappointed .

He was delighted because it was really not easy for his disciple to become a Golden Immortal .

He felt disappointment because she did not figure out a pinnacle Great Dao!

At present, the Three Realms was in desperate need of a Skyimmortal who had figured out a pinnacle Great Dao . This was because only those who weren’t mighty figures could enter Small Worlds with their real bodies! Skyimmortals who figured out a pinnacle Great Dao… would be of great use in the Daoist-Fiend war . Especially when Bian Hanyu was a sword cultivator! Qin Yun could spare no expense to help Bian Hanyu cultivate an extremely powerful Intrinsic Flying Sword .

A Skyimmortal who had figured out a pinnacle Great Dao would play a huge role in the Daoist-Fiend war .

And such entities could repeat what Qin Yun had previously done and win the war completely .

But…

How difficult was it to slowly cultivate from a weak state to a pinnacle mighty figure? Across the expanse of history in the Three Realms, how many became pinnacle mighty figures? Many of them were even Chaos Godfiends .

Even if one relied on cultivation to go from weak to a pinnacle mighty figure, most of them first became ordinary mighty figures and spent immense amounts of time to finally become a pinnacle mighty figure .

It was extremely rare for one to immediately figure out a pinnacle Great Dao .

Only a handful like Myriad Treasure, Qin Yun, and Yang Jian had accomplished this .

“I’m useless,” said Bian Hanyu softly .

“Things cannot be forced when it comes to Dao enlightenment . Hanyu, do the breakthrough now . Break through to become a Golden Immortal,” said Qin Yun .

“If I were to break through, I would not be able to enter the Small Worlds to participate in the war,” said Bian Hanyu .

Qin Yun shook his head . “Skyimmortals and Bodhisattvas with strength that match mighty figures number in the hundreds . The fiends also have over a hundred . It’s only with a Skyimmortal who grasps a pinnacle Great Dao that we can hope to turn the tides of this war . The impact you would bring wouldn’t be huge, but if you were to become a Golden Immortal… it will be of great benefit to the spread of my Misty Rain Sword Sect…”

The Misty Rain Sword Sect was indeed very widespread in the Small Worlds with deep roots .

But in the Great Worlds and Heavenly realm, it wasn’t as impressive . It was because the Great Worlds and Heavenly realm did not suffer the threat of the fiends . Cultivators would focus more on the final realm one could reach with their corresponding Dharmic formulations . The Misty Rain Sword Sect did not have a single Golden Immortal, so how was it to develop itself in the Great Worlds and Heavenly realm? Although Qin Yun was powerful, he was an Itinerant Immortal . Furthermore, Qin Yun was the only person who succeeded taking this pathway in the Three Realms after all this time .

“Yes,” Bian Hanyu said reverently . “I’ll do the breakthrough now . “

“I’ll watch over you . ” Qin Yun nodded .

Qin Yun had repeatedly perfected the Misty Rain Sword Sect’s sword immortal Dharmic formulation . With his level of insight, there was no problems with it . However, without anyone succeeding to date, he naturally lacked total confidence .

Bian Hanyu sat cross-legged .

Since she had attained a Great Dao, the breakthrough of her Essence Soul was most simple .

“Hum!”

Bian Hanyu started to emit faint light from her body, with each beam of light a result of extremely sharp Sword Qi .

With the fusion of Dharmic powers and the Great Dao, she began condensing a new Essence Soul .

“There’s no problem in the formation of her Essence Soul . ” Qin Yun watched the process of his disciple’s breakthrough and felt anxious . “Soon, soon . It’s done!”

The breakthrough process was very short .

However, it left Qin Yun exhilarated and delighted .

After the successful breakthrough, Bian Hanyu began sucking the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energies madly .

Qin Yun beamed as he threw an Immortal Pill at his disciple . “Hanyu, take this Immortal Pill . “

“Yes, Master . ” Bian Hanyu was filled with delight as she consumed the Immortal Pill . Her Dharmic powers had reached a brand new level, but it was just lacking in quantity . With the replenishment of the Immortal Pill, she soon reached her new limits .

“Master, I found the breakthrough extremely simple . No troubles happened during the process,” said Bian Hanyu .

“Good, good . “

Qin Yun was overjoyed .

He had always been afraid that an accident might occur . If that were the case, he would truly be letting down countless Misty Rain Sword Sect disciples in the Small Worlds . Although to these cultivators, becoming a Golden Immortal mighty figure was a distant thought and they thought nothing of it when entering the Misty Rain Sword Sect, Qin Yun still cared about the future of his disciples and grand-disciples . Among these countless disciples, there would definitely be disciples of excellent caliber who could figure out a Great Dao .

If the disciples of his lineage were to figure out a Great Dao but lacked a Golden Immortal Dharmic formulation, he as the Ancestral Master would be truly embarrassed .

Now that his Dharmic formulation was a success, it meant that the Misty Rain Sword lineage was one that led to the Great Dao . As such, the Misty Rain Sword Sect would truly become one of the major sword cultivator factions in the Three Realms .
