《World Of Swords》32 : Xu Yue part 2
Advertisement
Looking at the number of paintings inside of her spatial bag made Xu Yue sigh. She did not want to even begin to count their number.
For the past few months, Xu Yue had not left her cave abode at all. As a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm, she could survive a few months without food, but even if she couldn't, she had discovered that someone had given her a large amount of pills to satisfy her hunger.
This discovery made Xu Yue swear to herself that she would organize the entirety of her spatial bag. Aside from her training or painting, this is what she had spent her time doing for the past few months.
By far the largest amount of wealth inside of her spatial bag was composed of scriptures, as both her grandfather and mother were at the Dao Saint rank, and they could easily copy scriptures.
Inside of her spatial bag, now organized, stood around one thousand Earth Rank techniques. Most of them were sword techniques, but around two hundred of them were not. These included techniques that focused on all sorts of branches of cultivation.
There were also fifty-three heaven-ranked techniques inside of her spatial bag, all of which would be considered priceless in the outside world.
"This is way too small," said Xu Yue, looking at the mountain of low-rank spirit stones that she had personally organized.
In the past few months, Xu Yue had grown to appreciate the shininess of spirit stones.
Inside of her spatial bag, the mountain of spirit stones from before was separated into a slightly smaller mountain of low-rank spiritual stones, a pile of mid-rank ones and a few high-rank spiritual stones.
High-rank spiritual stones are extremely valuable. Major Trancendance cultivators from outside the sect probably have about as many of these as Xu Yue.

Enhancing the size of the spiritual stone mountain had become a high priority for when she became stronger.
When Xu Yue tried to calculate the worth of the treasures inside the spatial bag, she somehow managed to get a headache.
"I should at least make an estimate," mumbled Xu Yue under her breath, knowing that how much money she actually had was something Xu Yue felt was quite important.
Xu Yue took a deep breath, looking at the number she had gotten, around three hundred million low-rank spiritual stones.
A large majority of that came from the worth of the scriptures and the number of spirtual stones that existed in the mountain.
"I need more," thought Xu Yue, looking at the number. Since her grandfather and mother could give her such gifts, they should be much richer than this. A frown appeared on Xu Yue's face as she thought of this.
A moment later, Xu Yue took out a pill to replenish her energy. She had grown to love the convenience of not having to spend a large amount of time eating.
After relaxing for a few moments, Xu Yue's eyes shone. She had just gotten a brilliant idea for a painting after remembering something.
Taking out the required material, Xu Yue began painting zealously. After a few hours, the painting was completed.
"I should do this sometime later," mumbled Xu Yue, looking at the painting.
The painting depicted Xu Yue swimming inside a limitless ocean of liquified spiritual stones. Liquifing spiritual stones is something that can be done with a formation, it's main use is in alchemy and talisman refinement.
"Swimming in spiritual stones," thought Xu Yue as she became excited.
Inside Xu Yue's sea of consciousness
Yue's eyes shone as well, looking at the painting the main body had created, Yue's eyes shone as well.

"I should do this," mumbled Yue as she imagined herself swimming inside an ocean of spiritual stones while holding the main body by the waist.
Greedy, prideful, prone to wrath, envious of those that are even temporarily better than her, and sometimes lustful, these were the things that could best characterize Xu Yue.
As a heart demon, Yue had the same characteristics as Xu Yue, only she was even more, emotional and her desires conquered her more easily.
If she was inside of a traditional Taoist sect, Xu Yue would have to suppress her desires, but since the Origin Sword sect was a swordsmanship sect, the only thing that matters if emphasized inside of the sect is the sword. Nothing else matters. Suppressing her desires could even cause Xu Yue's improvement speed to decrease.
Unknown to most cultivators, one of the false-immortal ancestors of the sect is actually a demonic cultivator. Something even more shocking was the fact that two of the immortal realm ancestors of the sect are Demonic Cultivators.
As such, as long as they were talented and had a heart focused on the sword, the Origin Sword sect would accept even Demonic Cultivators.
After admiring the painting for a few minutes, Xu Yue put it into her spatial bag and finally exited her cave abode for the first time in months.
The first thing Xu Yue did when she exited her abode was go towards her senior sister's abode.
"Senior sister," Xu Yue said lightly.
A moment later, Xu Yue found herself next to her senior sister.
Looking at Xu Yue made Liang Xiaoling feel an ache in her heart. When her master had discovered her desire, her heart demon had managed to resurface, causing her to scare her little junior sister into staying locked inside of her cave abode.
After defeating the heart demon, she checked up on her junior sister, but when she saw that Xu Yue was busy, Liang Xiaoling did not want to interrupt her.
"Senior sister," mumbled Xu Yue lightly as she felt herself being hugged tightly by her senior sister.
Xu Yue's mood dropped a little when she found that she was almost as tall as her senior sister.
As Liang Xiaoling stopped hugging Xu Yue, she remembered why she had not hugged her for such a long period of time.
Ignoring those thoughts in the back of her mind, Liang Xiaoling started leisurely talking with Xu Yue.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
