《World Of Swords》Ancestors
Advertisement
Looking at her Xu Yue standing in front of her made Feng Shuchun smile.
"I have reached foundation establishment" said Xu Yue, looking at her master.
"I know," said Feng Shuchun, looking at Xu Yue, who was standing in front of her. In fact, if Feng Shuchun did not use one of the formations on the peak, a large number of people would have known.
Every single time a disciple reaches Major Trancendance and becomes an elder, they may reside on one of the eighteen elder peaks. One of the rules in the sect is that every time someone becomes an elder, they must either reinforce the formation on the peak or add new ones.
As all Eighteen peaks have been here since the founding of the sect, eons ago, the amount of and power of the formations on these peaks is unfathomable.
Unknown to all others except for the Sect Master, Great Elder, and Ancestors, the Sect is surrounded by five Immortal Formations, laid down by the immortals of the sect before they ascended.
These five formations, together with the strength of the False-Immortal ancestors wielding Immortal Artifacts, have resisted the attack of immortals three times in history.
This is the reason the Origin Sword sect has survived countless eras and continues to be one of the strongest forces in the Three Thousand and Seven Regions.
No matter what calamity ensued outside the sect, its foundation would always be ensured.
Xu Yue was a bit let down that she couldn't surprise her master.
"Good" said Xu Yue, her enthusiasm being dulled a bit.
At that moment, Feng Shuchun looked towards Xu Yue's cave abode, and saw Liang Xiaoling standing outside it.
After Feng Shuchun told her where Xu Yue is, Liang Xiaoling returned to her cave abode.
"Why was Ling Ling outside your cave abode?" In fact, Feng Shuchun had seen Liang Xiaoling enter Xu Yue's cave abode every week.

"Senior sister Ling Ling brushes my hair," said Xu Yue in a sheepish voice, somewhat embarrassed.
Feng Shuchun breathed a sigh of relief, but she still warned Xu Yue.
"You must not let your senior sister take advantage of you." warned Feng Shuchun carefully, as if she was afraid that Xu Yue wouldn't hear it.
Xu Yue then remembered something.
"You must not sit on master's lap anymore, or else she might take advantage of you," said Liang Xiaoling while brushing Xu Yue's hair.
As she remembered her senior sister's warning, she couldn't help but feel that she had discovered a terrifying secret.
As she pondered why both her master and senior sister would warn her, she couldn't help but think of a terrifying possibility.
As she thought of it, several things clicked in her mind.
"If I don't enter hell, who will?" thought Xu Yue.
At this moment, Xu Yue felt like she finally understood those monks from the Hangming Temple.
Looking at the Buddha-like Xu Yue, it seemed as if a seal was finally broken, Xu Hui, Xu Chao, Wu Jing, the Artifact Spirit, her Senior Sister, and her Master all felt their lips twitch at the same time.
The moment Feng Shuchun felt her lips were about to twitch a second time, she forcefully used her qi to stop that from happening.
At that moment,
"Why do you want to seal that part of her?" asked Wu Ding.
Hong Jun did not say anything, he simply looked the other way.
Wu Ding said, "You should be more thankful to have a Dao companion like me." She wanted to continue, but Hong Jun said something that annoyed her.
"Old cow eating young grass, "said Hong Jun, the moment he did so, Wu Ding took out her sword.

She put her sword back the moment she remembered how old she was when Hong Jun's 49th generation ancestor was born.
"Only the tenderest grass like you is worthy of being eaten by this lady," said Wu Ding, with a righteous look on her face.
"You should seal your ability to make lips twitch," said Hong Jun, while his lips twitched.
"I'm sure I got this ability from you," said Wu Ding lightly.
"That little girl also got this ability from you," said Hong Jun
"Ning'er," said Wu Ding, her eyes becoming slightly bloodshot.
"So that's why you are paying so much attention to her," continued Wu Ding.
While they stayed in the mortal realm, Hong Jun and Wu Ding's incarnation managed to have a child.
Their child was named Wu Ning. Unfortunately, she did not have the talent necessary to become an immortal.
Wu Hong then focused her vision on Wu Jing, seeing her resemblance to Wu Ning, Wu Ding then managed to feel a slight blood connection.
Looking at Xu Yue once again, a hint of gentleness appeared in her usually emotionless eyes.
Wu Jing was meditating in her cave abode.
"Huh," said Wu Jing in a very surprised tone. She felt two slight blood connections. It seemed as if they led to outside of the Three Thousand regions. Wu Jing knew that she had discovered two ancestors of hers.
Based on her own age, Wu Jing knew the ancestor's cultivation was at least in the Dao Saint realm, and based on where she felt the blood connection, she knew these ancestors were most likely ascended immortals.
Based on what she knew about blood connections, she knew that those ancestors of hers had just discovered her. She then looked towards her own luck.
She then saw that her luck had grown a little bit.
Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief as she saw this. The fact that her luck had grown was a good sign. If an immortal was antagonistic towards her, the luck she had would decrease without the immortal having to do anything.
The worst-case scenario didn't happen. Some immortals, fearing their enemies' use of blood curses, removed all those related to them by blood from the mortal world, even if the price to pay for doing that was quite deep.
Wu Jing felt that the most probable cause was that these immortals were irresponsible and didn't pay attention to their descendets.
