NOVPUBChapter 197
He had spent enough time in Heavenly Dao Holy Land to understand its hierarchy.
Beneath the Holy Master were nine core elders. Each of these nine core elders was at least in the Void Refinement Realm. Among them, the Grand Elder was the patriarch of the Zhan family. The grandfather of Zhan Lingshuang and Zhan Qiuyun. Thus, by seniority, he should indeed address him as Grandmaster.
“No need for such formalities, young one! And this little girl—what’s her relation to you?”
Yang Chen glanced at Chu Xi. His gaze froze momentarily. At that moment, though Chu Xi still had her eyes closed, the aura radiating from her had changed dramatically from before. She appeared more ethereal and profound. A faint purple glow shimmered on her snow-white skin. She seemed cloaked in a veil of mystery. A small purple light glimmered at the center of her brow, resembling a star embedded within her. It gave her an air of nobility and divinity.
At that moment, the black-robed elder spoke: “This girl possesses the exceptionally rare Celestial Purple Physique, capable of absorbing and channeling the power of the stars, nearly as potent as a Sacred Physique! The grand era is upon us! In our time, physiques of Sacred Physique level were rare, appearing perhaps once every few thousand years. Now, they emerge one after another!”
***
“Celestial Purple Physique?” Yang Chen’s expression froze momentarily. He had heard of this physique before. If the Pure Yang Sacred Physique was the favorite of the sun ... Then the Celestial Purple Physique was the beloved of the stars. Bathed in starlight, capable of invoking the power of the constellations.
The Celestial Purple Physique’s strength was no less than that of the Pure Yang Sacred Physique. To think that Chu Xi possessed such a hidden talent.
As expected of the sister of the Son of Destiny. Indeed, extraordinary.
If someone with the Celestial Purple Physique bore his child, that child would surely be extraordinarily gifted.
Heh. That’s a good idea. I should act on it quickly and make Junior Brother Xiao Dong the uncle.
Suppressing his thoughts, Yang Chen glanced at Chu Xi once more.
At that moment, Chu Xi also opened her eyes. A flash of purple light gleamed in her gaze.
“Senior Brother Yang!”
Seeing Yang Chen, Chu Xi’s smile bloomed like a hundred flowers opening at once.
Zheng!
Suddenly, a sword cry echoed. A purple ancient sword shot out directly from the center of Chu Xi’s brow.
Zheng!
Yang Chen’s Pure Yang Sword, sensing the sword aura, began to tremble. Even Yang Chen couldn’t hold it back; it flew out of him on its own. The two ancient swords started to circle each other in the air.
As if expressing endless affection.
“Thousands of years ago, the master of Pure Yang and the master Remnant Star were a pair of immortal dao companions here in Heavenly Dao Holy Land! Their swords, Pure Yang and Remnant Star, have been buried in Sword Burial Mountain for thousands of years, finally able to reunite! You two are destined. To be able to obtain these two ancient swords—if you both wish it, I, this old man, can officiate and unite you as dao companions. You’d create a legendary tale!”
As the Grand Elder’s words fell, Yang Chen immediately spoke:
“Grandmaster, Junior Sister Chu Xi is already my dao companion!”
“Oh? So that’s how it is! No wonder the Pure Yang and Remnant Star swords emerged together! It seems the unresolved fate of Pure Yang and Remnant Star from thousands of years ago is now being fulfilled by you two young ones!”
“Haha, Grand Elder, it seems you won’t be needed this time!”
“These two youngsters are already dao companions!”
Several of the surrounding elders chuckled, making light-hearted remarks.
Chu Xi’s cheeks flushed a rosy pink. Though her heart was filled with shyness, there was an even greater feeling of sweetness and anticipation. She had obtained the Remnant Star Sword. Senior Brother Yang had obtained the Pure Yang Sword.
The Pure Yang and Remnant Star—dao companion swords. She’d heard of the legend surrounding them. These two swords were, to her and Senior Brother Yang, practically a match made in heaven. With these two swords, their relationship would only grow closer in the future.
Like the masters of Pure Yang and Remnant Star, they would be a pair of immortal companions envied by all.
As if sensing Chu Xi’s feelings, the Remnant Star, glowing with a purple light, let out a gentle hum.
“The Pure Yang and Remnant Star have actually been claimed by a pair of dao companions!”
“Damn it, if I had agreed to become dao companions with Junior Sister Liu and brought her to comprehend the sword together, wouldn’t I have a chance to obtain the Pure Yang and Remnant Star swords today?”
“Oh, get real! Do you really think your and Junior Sister Liu’s talents are worthy of these two ancient swords?”
“According to legend, the combined power of the Pure Yang and Remnant Star is comparable to that of a sacred artifact!”
“That Chu Xi, it seems, is the disciple of Youyue Peak’s master. Her cultivation isn’t particularly advanced—she’s just reached the Nascent Soul Realm—but it’s surprising that she possesses the Celestial Purple Physique, which is of a Sacred Physique level! And that Senior Brother Yang is even more remarkable. His master is the future Holy Maiden of the Holy Land, Fairy Lingshuang!”
“Just now, the Grand Elder mentioned that this Senior Brother Yang has a pure yang constitution and is at the Fifth Realm of the Soul Transformation Realm!”
“Those two are truly a match made in heaven, perfectly suited for the Pure Yang and Remnant Star dao companion swords!”
Nearby, Xiao Dong listened to the surrounding cultivators’ discussions, his expression growing increasingly dark. Veins pulsed on his forehead; his face twisted in fury.
“That damn bastard! To think he stole my Pure Yang Sword!” Xiao Dong seethed with rage.
The Pure Yang Sword was something he had been determined to obtain because his constitution was the Pure Yang Sacred Physique. Although his essence hadn’t fully formed, there was no one in Heavenly Dao Holy Land more suited to wield it than him and the original Pure Yang Master.
But the Pure Yang Sword didn’t choose him. Instead, it chose that bastard Yang Chen.
Why?
Xiao Dong couldn’t understand.
He thought that Yang Chen must have used some underhanded means. Moreover, his sister had obtained the Remnant Star Sword.
The Pure Yang and Remnant Star swords—the dao companion swords. The Pure Yang Sword was supposed to be his. The Remnant Star Sword was supposed to be his sister’s. He and his sister were a natural pair. It was practically ordained by the heavens.
But now ... that bastard Yang Chen had taken the Pure Yang Sword. That meant he’d have even more chances to interact with his sister. His sister might even believe that bastard Yang Chen was her destined companion.
The two of them ... Xiao Dong’s face turned an ugly shade of green. He didn’t dare think further.
That telltale white stain ... it already indicated that his sister had been forced into such shameful acts with that bastard Yang Chen.
If they went a step further, then wouldn’t that mean ...
***
[Ding! The host has intercepted the Pure Yang Sword, plundering 4,000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Destiny, Xiao Dong. The host has gained 4,000 VPs!]
The system’s voice rang in Yang Chen’s ear.
Yang Chen froze momentarily.
4000 points. It seemed that this Pure Yang Sword was indeed of great importance to Junior Brother Xiao Dong. However, the Pure Yang Sword is far too dangerous; Junior Brother Xiao Dong, it’s beyond your control. Better to let your brother-in-law hold onto it for you. And as for your sister, she’s beyond your grasp too. Leave her to your brother-in-law.
Heh heh.
