Chapter 225: Chapter 218: Forgetting

[Three months later, the Sword Mountain River Sword Cultivator Army is fully assembled, and you, as the leading Elder, will act as the vanguard to invade this Demon Race Secret Realm.]

[Your goal is to obtain at least two Demon Souls from the Demon King during this Secret Realm journey as spiritual materials for your Lifebound Sword.]

[On that day, the Broken Cocoon Alliance branch at the Secret Realm entrance was annihilated, and you alone slew the two Golden Cores guarding the entrance with your sword, unfortunately, they were not Demon Kings.]

[The Secret Realm entrance cannot be opened from the outside. You and several other Golden Core Sword Cultivators formed a Sword Array, patiently waiting for the Demon Race inside to open the entrance. Other Golden Core Sword Cultivators went to block messages, preventing the outside Broken Cocoon Alliance cultivators from alerting the Demon King inside the Secret Realm.]

[Watching the army of Sword Cultivators, you and several of the strongest Sword Cultivators stood in the sky overlooking the land. As one of the strongest in the Wood Element Ding Domain, you must shoulder your responsibility.]

[You vaguely feel as if you’ve forgotten something…]

Jiang Ming looked at the golden subtitles.

His brow slightly furrowed.

“Forgot… no, it’s supposed to be this way…” Jiang Ming muttered.

Pei Min had already forgotten the previous doubts about the departure of those Sword Institute Golden Core Peaks and some Late-Stage Golden Core Sword Cultivators.

Standing beside Pei Min were some Mid-Stage Golden Core Elders from the Wood Element Ding Domain, and even among them, Late-Stage Golden Cores were few, but they were considered powerful compared to peers in the same realm, acting as the vanguard now.

“Something’s not right… If, according to Elder Li, all the top power of the Sword Institute has collectively gone to do some secret mission, how could Pei Min forget so quickly, even thinking it’s reasonable…”

“But… What does the disappearance of some Late-Stage Golden Core and Golden Core Peaks represent? Previously, when Pei Min went to the Fire Realm to compete, Elders from Golden Core Peaks also appeared… wait… it’s not right…”

Jiang Ming’s eyes slightly widened as he looked upwards, quickly browsing through the golden subtitles about Pei Min’s journey into Sword Dao.

Numerous scenes flashed through Jiang Ming’s mind.

“Those two Golden Core Peak Sword Cultivators… what’s their name, what are they called… why is there no record…” Pei Min’s pupils shrank.

“Not just these Golden Core Peak Sword Cultivators… but also Sword Venerables… Yes! Sword Venerables…”

“Why do all these Sword Venerables… Why do none have names…”

Even the Sword Venerable who provided information on the Unity Sword Body and Five Elements Sword Scripture in the Central Domain and all other Sword Venerables, their presence seemed to be gradually diminishing, as if no one even knew of their existence or name.

“The only ones with names are…”

“The deans of the various Sword Institutes! Or rather, only those Sword Venerables who can anchor their honor in the name of the Sword Institute can ensure their presence…”

“Even those Sword Masters, logically, these strong ones should be revered and revered by all, but besides those who appeared during major events, the names of other Sword Masters are also seldom spread.”

“How could this be…”

Jiang Ming’s brow furrowed.

“But, according to what Pei Min encountered, these Late-Stage Golden Core and Golden Core Peak Sword Cultivators aren’t disappearing in presence, but genuinely have no time to deal with the Demon Race Secret Realm…”

“What would move the entire Wood Element Ding Domain’s Golden Core Peaks? The Broken Cocoon Alliance?”

If it’s the Broken Cocoon Alliance, there’s no need to dispatch so many Golden Core Peak Sword Cultivators, because although the Broken Cocoon Alliance is a giant entity, its opponent is the entire Sword Mountain River, and Wood Element Ding Domain does not need to send so many strong ones…

“Sword Venerables and Sword Masters are too distant; simply speaking, of the two vice deans of the Battle Absolute Sword Institute… Mr. Huishan and Anx Lu…”

Jiang Ming continued to browse through the golden subtitles.

Mr. Huishan could be said to be influential, as he significantly aided Pei Min, akin to a half-mentor, and Pei Min’s memory of him was particularly profound.

As for Anx Lu… In Pei Min’s experiences, a large part is replaced by the words vice dean…

Moreover… Battle Absolute Sword Institute has three vice deans, yet Jiang Ming didn’t see any traces related to the third vice dean.

“Methods to erase existence…” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

The golden subtitles are all Pei Min has experienced, yet they are largely Pei Min’s subjective experiences, with a few being objective experiences provided by a simulator.

That is, in Pei Min’s subjectivity, all this seems natural, or in other words, Pei Min never noticed these anomalies.

Jiang Ming couldn’t help recalling what Elder Li said to Pei Min.

“Elder Pei, once your cultivation reaches Mid-Stage Golden Core, you’ll come to know some things…”

Why didn’t Elder Li clearly state it to Pei Min at that time?

Jiang Ming’s eyes slightly squinted as he continued to look at the golden subtitles.

[You feel once again as if you’ve forgotten something. You inquire from Elder Li beside you, who is somewhat shocked, but only repeats that sentence. You find this sentence somewhat familiar, yet can’t recall why Elder Li originally said those words.]

[The Secret Realm’s gate could open at any time; you stop pondering those matters, focusing all your attention on what lies ahead.]

Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

The land is lush, the trees are exceptionally tall, and the beasts inhabiting it are all filled with spiritual nature. Such beasts possess enlightenment opportunities ten times greater than ordinary beasts elsewhere.
