I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Chapter 223 Black Cloud Swamp, Rules of the Spiritual Realm
 

Dai Yingying had grown accustomed to behaving arrogantly and had a penchant for courting death, so this time, she died.

“Should we report this, suspecting the return of the Blood Demon?”

The left guardian asked in a somber tone.

“Whether he is the Blood Demon is merely our speculation. Moreover, even if he is the Blood Demon, he likely no longer practices the cultivation technique of killing. You should know that the person from Taimiao Mountain entered the Inner Domain.”

“Twenty years ago, the playboy of the Mu Family also entered the Inner Domain. If the Blood Demon is truly alive, what do you think?”

The right guardian said in a somber tone.

“Hiss!”

The left guardian widened his eyes in surprise and said, “Are you suggesting that if the Blood Demon is truly alive, and no longer practices the killing cultivation technique, then behind this…”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became—the implications were profound!

The right guardian continued, “Even if that’s not the case, if we let the Blood Demon return, though it’s not our fault, do you think those lofty Divine Refinement Celestials will forgive us?

“Death is certain!

“Just as we, even knowing that those Grandmaster Martial Artists may not necessarily be in the wrong, might still kill them in a fit of irritation.

“And aren’t we seen the same way by the Divine Refinement Celestials?”

The left guardian’s expression tightened. Both were of humble origins and belonged to the Zheng Country’s Royal Family’s internal guard, responsible for guarding one of the gates to the Spiritual Realm.

Compared to those from the Divine Sect, there was a vast difference in status.

The shadow that the Blood Demon had cast over many powerful figures in the spiritual sects was indeed significant.

“To speak is to die, to remain silent might also lead to death, but by speaking now, we wouldn’t live much longer. However, hiding this until the truth inevitably comes out might allow us to live a little longer.

“Besides, given enough time, things might change, especially since two from the Shui Xing Palace have entered the Inner Domain and have yet to return.”

The right guardian continued speaking.

“Right, let’s keep it hidden!”

The left guardian took a deep breath and nodded earnestly.

“How should we handle the death of Dai Yingying?”

He asked with a furrowed brow.

“We’ve already seen her. She came once, thought that the people of the Inner Domain were too inferior, not worthy of exploration, so she left. As for where she died, how would we know?

“Isn’t there a Loose Cultivator Celestial who vowed to destroy her? Let’s just assume that this was done by that person.”

The right guardian said calmly.

Dai Yingying and her Guardian Celestial were both already dead, turned to ash.

Apart from the two of them and the murderer, no one else knew.

“Then let it be so.”

The left guardian nodded solemnly.

The two continued their cultivation as if nothing had happened. The Spiritual Realm Gate had not been opened either.

However, there was now an understanding between them. Should anyone from the Inner Domain enter in the future, they must not carelessly berate them. What if they were somehow connected to the Blood Demon? Wouldn’t that be courting death like Dai Yingying had?

They secretly cursed Jiao Ming and Ping’er for going to the Inner Domain and not returning promptly. If it weren’t for the fact that these two belonged to the Spirit Sect, they would have surely closed the gate to the Spiritual Realm and let them stay there long enough!

…

After Xu Yan entered the Spiritual Realm, Li Xuan and his group returned to Canglan Island.

Just as they left the territory of Cangbei, Li Xuan saw the Daoist Golden Book open, and a surge of golden light emerged.

“Your disciple has eliminated a minor celestial with one palm strike, and your battle experience has increased!”

Li Xuan: …

Had they really just entered the Spiritual Realm and already killed a minor celestial?

Would this not lead to trouble?

Li Xuan was reminded of the time Xu Yan first entered the Inner Domain and started killing Grandmasters not long after entering. This entry into the Spiritual Realm seemed eerily similar.

“Could it be like when he entered the Inner Domain before, killing a minor celestial every few days?”

Li Xuan suddenly felt a bit numb.

“Having cultivated the Dust Technique, even if pursued by Divine Refinement Celestials, he should be able to escape. There shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Xu Yan was no longer a rookie in the Martial Arts Realm and had accrued quite some experience.

Moreover, Xu Yan was not the type to stubbornly fight when overpowered; he would retreat immediately if he couldn’t handle the situation.

The group returned to Canglan Island.

Meng Chong and Su Lingxiu continued their cultivation, becoming more diligent, striving to enter the Spiritual Realm again soon.

And Mother Xu, this time, had also hardened her resolve and restarted her strenuous cultivation.

To avoid being a burden to her precious son.

She had now, unprecedentedly, started cultivating two hours a day!

Shi’er and Zhou Ying were also diligently cultivating and had respectively achieved Minor Achievement and Great Achievement in the Innate Realm.

Xu Junhe’s strength had also risen to the Great Achievement of the Innate Realm.

Li Xuan even took some time to give him some pointers.

…

Spiritual Realm, Yuzhou, Zheng Country.

The biggest event in Zheng Country was naturally the discovery of the Qing Tian Flood Dragon’s tomb.

The various spiritual sects and powerful families sent out their younger generation, prepared to enter the Qing Tian Flood Dragon’s tomb and retrieve the treasures inside.

Besides the Bi Jiao Tree and Dragon Eye Fruit, there were surely other treasures inside the tomb, and it was highly possible that it contained the Qing Tian Flood Dragon’s lifetime storage.

The Flood Dragon, a revered member of the Spirit Beast clan, once rampaged across the Eighteen States, even devouring Divine Refinement Celestials—its strength was unparalleled.

Rumors had it that the Flood Dragon had almost transitioned into the Legendary True Dragon but ultimately failed and vanished without a trace—no one knew where it fell.

In the Spiritual Realm Martial Arts World, there were occasional whispers that the Qing Tian Flood Dragon, in its dying moments, had constructed a grand tomb for itself.

Yet, it had always been impossible to confirm.

Now that the Qing Tian Flood Dragon’s tomb had been discovered, it immediately attracted the attention of all the major sects and families of Yuzhou Martial Arts Realm, even the prestige Yuzhou’s No.1 Spirit Sect dispatched geniuses.

There were also rumors that the Spirit Beast clan was interested in participating, but since Yuzhou was not within the territories controlled by Spirit Beasts, it posed a risk for them.

For the Human Clan warriors, the Spirit Beasts were also considered treasures.
