Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Although Qin Yun and company entered the Chaos spatial rift seemingly silently, nearly all the pinnacle existences in the Three Realms knew of it. At that level, they could faintly sense which other experts were alive! Qin Yun’s and Rushou’s disappearance naturally incurred the notice of all the experts.

The truth was quickly made known after some probing of the sudden disappearance.

For instance, the Fiend Ancestor long sensed that Qin Yun and company had vanished into the Chaos spatial rift and he had guessed that they were headed for the spatial tide.

In the entire Three Realms…

Many existences were paying notice to their final fate.

“The three of them are back.” Seated cross-legged in a desolate mountaintop was Fiend King Boxun as he looked far beyond the Three Realms. “To be in the spatial tide for a hundred plus years and return alive. Impressive.

“Might I need to venture into the Chaos spatial rift and challenge myself in the spatial tide to reach the Heavenly Dao realm?

“Back then, the Three Pure Ones and Gautama all visited it.

“Compared to them, am I being overly careful?”

Boxun was in a dilemma.

As a King of Myriad Fiends, he was extremely selfish. He strived to not place himself into a perilous situation! Therefore, he had yet to enter the spatial tide to this very day.

In the history of the Three Realms, the ones who entered the spatial tide the most were the Three Pure Ones! Back then, they jointly traveled the spatial tide and slew the most number of experts from other universes.

However, people like Goddess Nüwa and Fiend Ancestor did not enter; yet, they still achieved the Heavenly Dao realm! Therefore, all the perfected Great Dao existences in the Three Realms believed… that one still had the same chances of reaching the Heavenly Dao realm without heading to the Chaos spatial rift. Furthermore, the intelligence spread through the Three Realms about the spatial tide shocked them.

For instance, Rushou only dared to make the trip after inviting Qin Yun.

…

Spirit-Tower Heart Mountain.

Its exact location was still a mystery in the Three Realms.

In it lived an extremely mysterious, ancient existence in the Three Realms, Patriarch Bodhi.

“Rushou and company are back.” Patriarch Bodhi opened his eyes as the aromas lingered around him. His eyes had a hint of hesitation. “My cultivation of the Dao of Space-time has met with difficulties. Perhaps, widening my horizons by seeing the experts of other universes us their space-time means will be helpful to me.”

The Dao of Space-time was a very special Dao. As the ancient saying goes, the surrounding space is called Yu; the time from past to future is called Zhou. Therefore, the Great Dao of Space-time was also the Universe <sup1</sup Great Dao.

Patriarch Bodhi believed that if he attained full enlightenment in the Great Dao of Space-time, he would be able to attain the Heavenly Dao realm.

“However, to face the experts from other universes in the spatial tide alone is far from sufficient.” Patriarch Bodhi hesitated and shook his head gently. “There’s no rush. I haven’t even fully understood the Dao of Time in the Great Dao of Space-time. I can sense that with time, my insights would deepen.”

Living long aided his study of the Dao of Time.

“It won’t be too late to pay the spatial tide a visit when I’m at a bottleneck.” Patriarch Bodhi made up his mind.

…

The safe return of Qin Yun and company did cause a stir among many perfected Great Dao existences. In the past, they hesitated, but upon seeing existences at the same level succeed, they felt intrigued. However, at their level, they were all very staid. They would only proceed after carefully planning, never due to an impulse.

“It still feels safer when we are back in the Three Realms.” Rushou laughed.

Goumang nodded with a smile. “Sword Immortal Qin, Rushou, let us part ways here. I already have old friends waiting for me at my residence. They are probably waiting to inquire about the spatial tide. Should this matter be kept secret?”

Rushou looked at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun shook his head. “There’s no need. Back when the Three Pure Ones ventured into the spatial tide, the information was later released to the younger generation. There is no need for us to conceal the information.”

“Alright, I’ll let them know that experts from the spatial tide aren’t that easy to deal with,” said Goumang.

“They might look inspired by our safe return, but they are all the overlord of Great Worlds. They live carefree lives, so ultimately, few would actually wish to enter,” said Rushou.

“Let us part ways here,” said Qin Yun with a smile.

“Allow me to wish that you attain a Merit Cardinal treasure first, Sword Immortal Qin.” Goumang and Rushou added.

“I’ll be counting on your blessings.”

Immediately, Qin Yun and company parted ways in the vast Chaos. They traversed the void as Rushou and Goumang returned to their own cave abodes. As for Qin Yun, he headed for Mt. Lightning Roar in the Heavenly realm.

******

Heavenly realm, Mt. Lightning Roar.

Yi Xiao had been concerned over Qin Yun all these years.

After he entered the spatial tide, he could not be sensed. No one in the Three Realms would know if he perished in the spatial tide as well.

“Brother Yun.” Yi Xiao sat cross-legged at the top of Mt. Lightning Roar as she watched the sea of clouds churn. Then she closed her eyes to cultivate in her Lightning Dharma.

In the days Qin Yun was away, all she could do was cultivate in the Lightning Dharma to occupy herself, so as to prevent her thoughts from swaying.

Swoosh.

A figure silently appeared at the mountaintop and stood beside Yi Xiao. He was none other than the azure-robed Qin Yun.

Qin Yun could not help but smile when he looked at his cultivating wife.

“Oh?” Yi Xiao opened her eyes, having sensed him. She saw her husband standing beside her.

“Brother Yun?” Yi Xiao was taken back as she lowered her head to massage her forehead before looking back up. She wasn’t seeing things. Qin Yun was right in front of her.

“You aren’t seeing things. I’m back,” said Qin Yun with a smile.

“There hasn’t been any news of you for more than a hundred years. Why didn’t you send me a voice transmission when you returned?” Yi Xiao stood up and could not help but grumble. However, she still held Qin Yun’s hand.

“It’s my fault. Please forgive me, my dear wife.” Qin Yun immediately apologized.

Yi Xiao giggled.

“Let’s go and visit the kids. They have been worried for you all these years as well,” said Yi Xiao.

“Let’s go.” Qin Yun nodded.

…

Mt. Lightning Roar had become a busier place. Over time, the Qin family had been expanding. After Qin Yiyi and Han Lin had a daughter, Qin Yuluo, they had another son, Qin Yule. Qin Yule’s cultivation talent was very average. With the Qin family’s resources, and with his parents, he was born at the first firmament Essence Soul realm. Now, he was only at the third firmament Essence Soul realm. However, he enjoyed traveling and making ties everywhere. Many factions knew that he was a grandson of Sword Immortal Qin, so they would send beauties to his side. This resulted in the Qin family having more offspring, many who cultivated in Mt. Lightning Roar.

And today, Qin Yun’s return prompted a banquet to be held in Mt. Lightning Roar.

Qin Yun was somewhat surprised as well.

“When I left the Three Realms, Yule was still a child. In a blink of an eye, he has three sons and five daughters?” Qin Yule was somewhat surprised by the juniors who kowtowed him at the banquet.

“I find Yule quite capable. At the very least, he has made Mt. Lightning Roar less cold and cheerless. It’s a lot more lively these days.” Yi Xiao laughed.

Qin Yule was standing obediently by the side.

Outside, he was a scion that let himself loose, living in an unbridled manner. But in front of his grandfather, he reined himself in. After all, he had little interaction with his grandfather and had only heard of his legends.

Instead, it was his elder sister, Qin Yuluo, who had close ties with Qin Yun. This was because Qin Yun had once advised Yuluo’s cultivation for an extended period of time. They shared a much closer relationship.

“Yule.” Qin Yule looked at Qin Yule and his fine features which resembled Yi Xiao’s. He was truly an adonis and was a lot more handsome than Qin Yun.

“Grandfather.” Qin Yule was somewhat nervous.

“You are now at the third firmament Essence Soul realm? Cultivate well. Try to reach the Skyimmortal realm at least,” said Qin Yun.

“Yes.” Qin Yule replied reverently.

Qin Yun nodded slightly.

It was difficult for immortal cultivators to have children. Qin Yun and his wife only had a daughter, Qin Yiyi. Qin Yiyi previously only had a daughter, Qin Yuluo. Only after so many years did she have an additional Qin Yule. It was Qin Yule who had numerous children. This was still something that delighted Qin Yun.

His other child, Meng Huan, had many children. However, Meng Huan had ascended after three hundred years of cultivation in his homeworld! His children and grandchildren had long died of age. By the time Meng Huan had the strength to return to his homeworld, he was generations separated from them. His feelings for them were naturally a lot more indifferent. Only extremely excellent juniors had a chance of being brought to Mt. Lightning Roar for cultivation.

…

Qin Yun’s mood was extremely good due to the Qin family’s banquet.

The next day.

In the back mountain of the Qin household.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao stood there.

“My venture into the spatial tide gained me a total of three bodies,” Qin Yun said. “The three of them were perfected Great Dao existences in life. I wonder how much merit I would receive if I sacrifice them to the Three Realms.”

“How many perfected Great Dao existences are there in the Three Realms? To sacrifice three corpses would definitely result in immense merit,” said Yi Xiao.

“Hmm.”

Qin Yun waved his hand.

The nine-headed expert’s corpse appeared. His nine gnarly dragon heads and his massive body did not seem so huge when thrown onto an empty spot. It was only a hundred feet tall, but it still emitted a terrifying aura in death. The baneful aura it emanated alarmed Yi Xiao.

The terrifying aura, if seen by ordinary Skyimmortals and Skyfiends, would result in an intrusion by the baneful aura, causing their Essence Souls to collapse followed by death.

However, Yi Xiao stood beside Qin Yun and with his help, the baneful aura failed to make any progress. The fact that the corpse contained the charms of a Great Dao left Yi Xiao shuddering.

“How powerful is such an expert?” Yi Xiao mumbled silently.

“Obliterate.”

Qin Yun waved his hand.

His Intrinsic Flying Sword immediately split into numerous beams of light as they flew towards the nine-headed corpse.
