Pei Yuhan walked onto the deck of the spirit boat that was battered by wind and rain, and looked into the distance over the Tree Sea Dragon Island. The dense thunder gathered into a doomsday scene of a sea of thunder waterfall.
……
……
"open!"
The young girl slashed with her sword. The moonlight on the blade was brighter and faster than the lightning, and it actually cut the lightning into two pieces before it fell.
As the last ray of heavenly thunder was shattered by Qing Yueqiu's unparalleled sword power, the black clouds in the sky also dissipated.
The dark clouds faded away, and thousands of sun rays shone through the remaining clouds, illuminating the sea of trees below and the silver-haired figure standing in the sky.
Qing Yueqiu, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, turned around and looked at the figure in white flying hurriedly over, with a smile on his face.
It seemed to be saying: See, Master, I have told you long ago that a thunder tribulation of this magnitude is no problem at all.
But... why does my body suddenly feel so tired?
Damn it, I was trying to show my master how to easily overcome the tribulation...
Qing Yueqiu closed her ruby eyes tiredly, and fell helplessly from the clouds like a white butterfly with broken wings.
The Liuying Sword that was guarding the girl wanted to hold back its exhausted master, but a figure was faster than it and came to the girl's side.
Pei Yuhan looked at Qing Yueqiu who had fallen asleep in his arms. He carefully wiped the sweat off her face and smoothed the scattered silver hair on her forehead.
"Congratulations on achieving Nascent Soul status, Yueqiu."
Pei Yuhan slowly descended from the sky holding his first disciple. Although with Pei Yuhan's speed, he could land on the ground in an instant, but his movements were still cautious, as if he was afraid that his speed would be too fast and disturb the person in his arms.
After returning to the ground, Pei Yuhan first settled Yue Qiu in the dormitory of the spirit boat, then walked out of the spirit boat and looked at the giant trees around him with some confusion.
"Strange...where did Xiaoxiao go?"
Just as Pei Yuhan was about to use his spiritual sense to search for Yu Xiaoyan.
hum-
A certain kind of warning perception left in the dragon corpse was triggered. Pei Yuhan's eyes flashed, and he drew his sword and flew away in an instant.
Now their condition is not good. If the dragon corpse breaks through the seal and resurrects again, it will be really troublesome.
But when Pei Yuhan arrived at the location of the dragon corpse and saw the person trapped by the formation, his expression became strange.
"Xiao Xiao? What are you doing in such a dangerous place?!"
Yu Xiaoyan looked at her master who had hurried over with some embarrassment, and said apologetically: "Master, I was too excited, so I forgot to tell you..."
"what happened?"
"That sword... I can feel it calling me. This should be the opportunity you mentioned, Master."
Pei Yuhan looked in the direction of Yu Xiaoyan's finger and saw a broken sword stuck in the dragon's head.
Chapter 138 Master, You're Hurting Me
Pei Yuhan looked at the broken sword stuck in the dragon's head with surprise on his face.
"This sword...why didn't I notice it when I was fighting the dragon corpse before?"
Pei Yuhan keenly sensed that something was wrong. With his perception and attainments in swordsmanship, how could he not notice the sword in such a conspicuous position on the dragon's head?
Unless... some kind of cognitive distortion magic feature is at work.
"Xiaoxiao, when did you notice this sword?"
"Hmm...I noticed this dragon the moment it broke out of the ground."
After hearing what Yu Xiaoyan said, Pei Yuhan couldn't help but frowned.
The disciple's words confirmed his guess. It seemed that no one except Yu Xiaoyan could actively observe this sword.
Is this the so-called destiny... or is this sword deliberately choosing its user?
Pei Yuhan instinctively became alert for the safety of his disciples.
If he were to find out that there was a remnant soul on this sword that wanted to take over his disciple's body, he would ensure that that guy suffered the most cruel punishment in the world.
"Xiaoxiao, next I'm going to help you pull out this sword and check it out."
"Ah."
Yu Xiaoyan nodded and watched her master stride over to the dragon head frozen by frost and reach out to grasp the hilt of the sword.
Pei Yuhan's hand trembled twice... The sword in his hand did not move at all. His master did not succeed in pulling out the sword!
Yu Xiaoyan covered her mouth in shock. Pei Yuhan was also a little embarrassed for having made a fool of himself in front of his disciples.
"Ahem... maybe it's hard to exert force with one hand. I'll try using both hands."
Pei Yuhan gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and at the same time continuously released his spiritual consciousness and sword thoughts, trying to awaken the remaining spirituality in the sword.
But no matter what he did, the sword seemed to have merged with the dragon's head and could not be pulled out at all.
"Master...can you let me try?"
"..."
Pei Yuhan finally let go of his hand and watched Yu Xiaoyan walk forward and draw her sword.
He would stand by and be vigilant at all times. Once he noticed that there was something dirty on the sword that wanted to invade his disciple's body, he would take lightning action to separate Yu Xiaoyan and the sword.
"Xiaoxiao, if you notice anything unusual, call me immediately."
"Ah."
Yu Xiaoyan held her breath and stared at the sword beneath her. Then she slowly placed her hand on it. The hilt was cold to the touch, and had a rough texture due to the rust.
Nothing unusual happened.
It is just like an ordinary sword. Even if you input spiritual energy into it, it is like a drop in the ocean, with no feedback.
Yu Xiaoyan groaned and decided to use all her strength to pull out the sword. However, as soon as she raised her arm to exert force, she screamed and fell backwards.
How come the sword was not firmly inserted and was pulled out before I even put any strength into it?!
"careful!"
Pei Yuhan rushed forward in time to hug his disciple's body, preventing the girl from falling off the dragon head.
Yu Xiaoyan was naturally happy to fall into the warm embrace of her master, but——
"Master, your grip is too tight..."
The girl's delicate, snow-white swan neck flushed, and her shy whisper brought Pei Yuhan back to his senses.
I found that my hands had deformed the small fruit.
There was no mercy in his actions.
"Feel sorry……"
Pei Yuhan retracted An Lushan's claws and for a moment did not dare to look at Xiaoxiao's innocent eyes.
Damn it, it's all because of that girl Yu Gu Nan who keeps teasing me all day, causing my hands to have muscle memory as soon as I hug Xiao Xiao...
Pei Yuhan took a deep breath, looked at the broken sword tightly held in Yu Xiaoyan's hand, and changed the subject.
"Xiaoxiao, how do you feel now? Did you hear what the sword is saying to you, like it's some ancient grandfather or something like that..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoyan looked at Pei Yuhan strangely.
"Master, what are you talking about? How could there be an old man inside the sword? This sword... feels like an ordinary rusty sword. There is no reaction when the spiritual energy is injected into it."
Yu Xiaoyan felt a little disappointed at the end of her speech. She had thought that the sword inserted into the dragon's head must be a divine sword of unknown origin. When it was pulled out, strange phenomena would occur in the sky, and her senior sister's Liuying sword would be eclipsed by her sword.
Who knew it was so common.
Pei Yuhan took the broken sword from Yu Xiaoyan, and after looking at it for a moment, he found nothing.
"Xiao Xiao... since this sword is destined for you, take it back first. I will find a master refiner to help you reforge the sword."
"Ah."
Yu Xiaoyan put the sword into the mustard seed storage ring and followed her master back to the spirit boat.
Pei Yuhan stood on the spirit boat and calculated the time.
He had already told the sect all about the situation on the Tree Sea Dragon Island before Qingyueqiu went through the heavenly tribulation. Judging from the time, the fellow Taoists who were going to collect the dragon corpse should be here soon.
Sure enough, it happened almost at the moment Pei Yuhan had a premonition.
The blue sky above my head suddenly began to ripple violently, like a surface of water into which a stone had been thrown.
The next moment, a huge ship that was hundreds of times larger than Pei Yuhan's spirit boat appeared out of nowhere, with its shadow almost covering the entire Tree Sea Dragon Island.
On the hull of the giant ship, there is an engraved, majestic word "Tao".
Whoosh whoosh—
Several small flags in blue, white, red and black fell from the sky and were inserted around the dragon corpse according to a special five-element formation.
Formation masters wearing Xuanyuan Daoist robes walked out of the giant wheel, they formed seals with their hands, and under their divine consciousness, countless spiritual energies gathered into materialized runes, circling and combining into multiple formations, covering the dragon corpse.
As the small flag shone with divine light, the dragon corpse and the land within a radius of one hundred meters were shrouded in brilliant white light, transforming into a ball of light that slowly rose towards the Dao Zong giant wheel in the sky.
At the bottom of the giant ship, there were several cold locks as thick as pillars connected to a square bronze box of a hundred meters in size. As the light ball was stored in the bronze box, Pei Yuhan could no longer feel the breath of the dragon corpse.
"Pei Jianxian, do you want to go back to the sect with us?"
The leading formation master asked Pei Yuhan respectfully.
Before coming here, Great Elder Xiao had specifically reminded him to pay attention to Pei Jianxian's safety. Now that he saw that Pei Yuhan looked good except for his clothes being a little messy, he felt relieved.
"No need, I can just use the spirit boat to go back."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Pei Yuhan stood on the deck of the spirit boat, looking up at Dao Zong's giant ship breaking through the void and disappearing before his eyes, his face solemn.
He originally thought that this was just an ordinary trip to take his younger disciple to find a sword and to find an opportunity for his older disciple to break through, but he didn't expect that it would lead to an ancient object like a dragon corpse.
Although from the results, Qing Yueqiu was able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and Yu Xiaoyan was able to find the sword embryo of her natal spirit sword, both were closely related to this dragon corpse. This dragon corpse could even be called the opportunity of this trip...
“But it’s still troublesome.”
