Chapter 254: Chapter 232: The Old Man’s Dream (Part 2)

In contrast to what Pei Min saw in the inheritance, this was an old man. His hair was not the cloud-like black hair but instead a head of somewhat withered white hair.

Farmers passed by.

“Strange old man!”

A mischievous child ran under the peach tree.

He made grimaces at the old man, who smiled, shifted the disordered white hair from his face, and looked at the child with love.

“Old man, didn’t you say you were a matchless hero before?”

“Were you an unparalleled Sword Immortal?”

“But everyone in the village says you’re a madman… and I think so too.”

“Where’s your sword? You promised to teach me Sword Dao.”

“These are two swords I begged my grandfather to carve for me. Since your sword is gone, use mine.”

The child puffed up his cheeks, his eyes full of anticipation.

The old man handed over the wooden sword and tried to swing it.

“You’re holding the sword wrong. Uncle Wang, who served in the army, taught me a different stance.”

The child pointed at the old man.

The old man awkwardly fiddled with the wooden sword.

“Forget it, I’ll teach you instead.”

There was a hint of disappointment in the child’s eyes, but he put his hands on his hips and said this, not wanting the old man to notice.

“Hahaha.”

“Indeed… I did lie to you.”

“What invincible Sword Master, a sword dominating the world…”

“It seems, it seems, it was just a very long, long dream I had…”

“Big liar!”

“Child, do you want to hear what I dreamed of?”

“It was at a place called Sword Mountain River…”

The story was long and very exciting.

…

In mid-air, the two looked at the old man below.

Pei Min said solemnly, “Is he Elder Guiyi? He has some memories, but his power is gone… no…”

“He is clearly just a mortal, with the memory of a powerful Sword Master. He should have something remarkable, yet he seems to have merely had a dream.”

Guanghao Sword Master waved his hand again.

In the air ahead appeared a middle-aged man in gray.

Pei Min’s pupils contracted.

The gray-clad middle-aged man arrived at a place and with one sword slashed a cultivator whose body was filled with raging demon intent.

The aura on the gray-clad middle-aged man was overwhelming, then calmed down again.

He transformed into a long streak of light, leaving under the terrified gazes of many cultivators.

The gray-clad man landed on a mountain.

“What to do next…”

“Never mind, enjoy the moment as it is…”

“But… where to go next?”

“Hmm… feels like it’s this direction…”

The gray-clad middle-aged man mumbled to himself.

“If this continues, a Demon King will emerge, best to cut it down…”

The gray-clad man turned into a beam of light and fled away.

Pei Min paused and said, “How is it him, is he the Unity Sword Master?”

Guanghao Sword Master shook his head again.

“One is mortal, having experienced a lifetime of Unity Sword Master in dreams. One is immortal, possessing Unity Sword Master’s power yet blank?”

“No.”

After pondering for a moment, Pei Min said, “One obtained the past of Unity Sword Master, but is merely mortal, in every way a mortal among mortals, one obtained Unity Sword Master’s power but lost the past, leaving only the final… obsession…”

Guanghao Sword Master looked appreciatively at Pei Min.

“Your comprehension is quite impressive…”

Guanghao Sword Master continued, “But he is already dead…”

“Yet appears so miraculous, that gray-clad Unity Sword Master, he has been eliminating Black Insect Energy tirelessly for two thousand years… hence the Demon Calamity never occurred, but we could never find him, couldn’t connect with him… only… a destined person could contact him.”

“Including the lack of Unity Sword Master’s backup in the Fire of Hope, which we suspect is largely related to a term he frequently mumbled during his life.”

“God-Demon List…”

God-Demon List?

Unity Sword Master had an encounter with the God-Demon List?

So the Unity Sword Master relied on the God-Demon List to suppress the Immortal Demon Corpse’s revival!

Even after Unity Sword Master’s death, his traces remain in the world, also due to the God-Demon List?

“That mortal is already dead, and the gray-clad one is dead as well.”

“Dead?”

“He died after the last Demon Calamity…”

Pei Min murmured while looking down, “No wonder… no wonder…”

No wonder the Demon Calamity surfaced, no wonder Qingling wasn’t killed by him that time.

Unity Sword Master truly passed away, and the joy in Pei Min’s heart was extinguished.

“You are the successor of the Unity Sword Master, I hope that the Sword Mountain River can produce another Unity Sword Master in the future.”

Guanghao Sword Master patted Pei Min’s shoulder.

A special glint flashed in Pei Min’s eyes.

[Guanghao Sword Master confided a lot to you, which included many great secrets of Sword Spirit Heaven.]

[With countless tomes, the past and present of Sword Spirit Heaven is nearly transparent to you.]

[However, you do not feel much joy, only immense pressure.]

[You drew out the Luo God Nine Heavens Two Swords, carefully comprehending the Sword Dao belonging to Unity Sword Master…]

[The three predecessors, one founded Sword Mountain River, gathered the Fire of Hope, one sacrificed five thousand years of accumulation to propel Ancient Moon, one remained silently dormant, suppressing the awakening of the Immortal Demon Corpse…]

[And now, the Void Black Insect remains dormant, worse still, the Immortal Demon Corpse could fully awaken at any moment…]

[You left the Sword Master Pavilion, returned to the Beidou Sword Institute, continuing to cultivate silently…]

[As the world undergoes changes, Sword Dao’s flowers bloom brilliantly in Sword Spirit Heaven.]

[The name of Sword Dao has completely replaced the Cultivation Dao, though cultivators still exist in the world, they remain hidden and do not dare to appear.]

Jiang Ming looked at the golden characters on the Scroll.

The current Sword Spirit Heaven is somewhat reminiscent of the Sword Dao worlds in the fantasy Sword Dao literature Jiang Ming had read in his previous life.

Sword Dao reigns supreme, representing everything.

And the golden words on the Scroll flashed by swiftly.

[In the year 99,512 of the Celestial Sword Calendar, after six hundred years, you finally perfected the cultivation of the Nascent Soul.]

[Today, the Beidou Sword Institute is one of the Great Sword Institutes of the Wood Element Academy, and one of the few with two Sword Venerables.]

[Under its name, countless Sword Dynasties and subordinate sects contribute large numbers of seeds to the Beidou Sword Institute.]

[You remain in seclusion for many years, occasionally providing guidance that creates world-class geniuses.]

[Yet you have no intention to accept any disciple.]

[You are already one thousand six hundred and two years old, with only four hundred years left till the end of your lifespan.]

[In the year 99,515 of the Celestial Sword Calendar, you traveled across mountains and waters, observing the changes in the world during your years of seclusion.]

“Master…” Pei Xinghe remained as elegant as ever, but only in front of Pei Min did she exhibit a gentle and obedient demeanor.

Pei Min now appeared middle-aged, with two wisps of white hair fluttering in the wind.

“I’ve seen enough of the world’s affairs…”

“Xinghe.”

“Master!”

“This is Elder Guiyi’s Luo God Sword. It matches well with your Sword Dao. Today, as your master, I gift this sword to you on behalf of Elder Guiyi.”

Pei Min said.

A flash of joy crossed Pei Xinghe’s eyes, not because Pei Min gifted her the Immortal Sword, but because it meant Pei Min had completely understood the path left by the Unity Sword Master, significantly increasing his potential to advance further. Pei Xinghe was genuinely happy for Pei Min.

“Next… I must venture into the Reflection World…”

“Master… why?” Pei Xinghe was a bit puzzled.

Currently, the Sword Cultivators in the Reflection World are those who see through the mundane world, practicing quietly within it. The Void Black Insect has yet to make any move, and Sword Spirit Heaven needs the great powers of the Sword Cultivators to continue developing Sword Dao.

And in these several hundred years, aside from cultivating Sword Dao, Pei Min also cultivated one other technique.

This technique is called: Celestial Demon Heart Devouring Technique.

Pei Min smiled and looked to the sky.

“It’s naturally for the sake of this world…”

On the Ancient Moon, there is movement…
