Chapter 1226: The Songyang Sword Sect
“You’re awake!” Luo Yunyang heard a cheerful, pleasant voice. Then, a boy who looked like he was around 16 or 17 appeared before him.
Luo Yunyang’s mind power was focused on the Great Samsara Obliteration Millstone, and he did project his mind power out.
Thus, he didn’t notice the boy immediately.
The true age of the boy was probably around 16 or 17 years old. Thus, he really was like an insignificant ant before Luo Yunyang.
This insignificant boy was able to move freely around, while a colossal giant like Luo Yunyang could not even move an inch.
It was impossible for Luo Yunyang to speak yet, so he blinked to acknowledge that he had heard what the boy had said.
“Master will be elated to know that you have woken up!” The boy, who was a very talkative person, started blabbering the moment he saw that Luo Yunyang had woken up.
“Mister, do you know that my master tried all sorts of methods to help you after he brought you in? Unfortunately, none of them worked.
“It was so bad that the senior brothers and sisters bet that you wouldn’t live long. Unexpectedly, nothing happened to you during the three years when you ate and drank nothing. Tsk… How strange. What exactly is your cultivation base level?”
Luo Yunyang originally wanted to say something to this youth but decided to shut his mouth after listening to him blabbering.
It would be better to keep his mouth shut, as this boy might continue incessantly blabbering if someone responded to him.
After thinking about it, Luo Yunyang split a portion of his mind power and searched his surroundings.
Luo Yunyang’s mind power could envelop a radius of 100 miles without disrupting the usage of his Sasmara Great Obliteration Millstone.
He was on a huge mountain that was at least a thousand miles wide, and although the spiritual influence there wasn’t abundant, it wasn’t bad.
At the very least, Luo Yunyang was certain there wasn’t a territory like this in the entire Divine Union Void.
The Songyang Sword Sect!
The place where Luo Yunyang was located belonged to a sect called the Songyang Sword Sect. In these sect grounds, Luo Yunyang managed to discover a total of 18 people.
The one with the highest level of cultivation among them was a peak Galaxy-Grade martialist!
In the 36 Great Cosmoses, a peak Galaxy-Grade could manage a small sect. However, in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, this was obviously not enough.
Luo Yunyang did not find Tashan amongst these 18 people. Clearly, Tashan must have left to do something.
With a nearly Universe-Grade cultivation, Tashan was undoubtedly the strongest person in this sect!
“Tashan is my master and an elder of the Songyang Sword Sect. I heard that according to the rules of the Songyang Sword Sect, I will also become the sect elder of the Songyang Sword Sect in the future.”
The boy continued talking to himself but was oblivious to the fact that Luo Yunyang already knew everything about the Songyang Sword Sect.
According to Luo Yunyang’s understanding, this was a sect without a future because there was nothing that caught his attention within it.
However, it was also because what Luo Yunyang could see was still very limited.
Luo Yunyang returned to self-cultivation as the boy named Yu Mo left. He needed to grind away all the spirit essences and nomological laws within his body if he wanted to use it again.
Once this was done, his cultivation would improve greatly as well.
Luo Yunyang could not estimate how much he would improve but he knew that it would definitely be a huge improvement.
It would be best if he could improve tremendously within 10 years, as this was the only way he would have better odds of going up against the Great Era Destroyer in the 36 Great Cosmoses.
In the next two days, other disciples of the Songyang Sword Sect came to visit Luo Yunyang, as all of them were curious to know that Luo Yunyang had woken up.
However, they were merely curious and never came again after their initial visit. Only the boy named Yu Mo came often and talked to Luo Yunyang from time to time.
In the beginning, Luo Yunyang thought this boy was kind. In the end, he realized that the boy blabbered too much. As a result, the first thing most people in the Songyang Sword Sect would say to him was, “Shut up!”
The boy had yearned for someone to talk to for a long time. Finally, he had found Luo Yunyang, whom he could talk to freely. Therefore, he wasn’t going to stop anytime soon. He would drone on to Luo Yunyang every time he came.
Luo Yunyang could endure this for the first few days. However, as time went by and the nonsense the boy spewed kept increasing, Luo Yunyang finally had to shut off his spirit consciousness and ignore the boy, as he could not endure this anymore.
Three more years went by as time continued to flow.
Luo Yunyang refined one-tenth of the spirit essence and will that had created the blockage in his body during these three years. Although he only refined one-tenth of the total amount, he felt that his cultivation had increased by more than ten times since he had begun refining the spirit essences within his body.
Although this body still could not unleash the power he had gained after refining the spirit essences, his other body and clones could use his new-found power via the attribute regulator.
Because one-tenth of the spirit essences had been refined, the blockage hindering Luo Yunyang’s body was no longer as congested as before. As a result, he could move his body around without much difficulty even though he could not use most of his power.
However, Luo Yunyang was too lazy to move now.
He had not contacted the Taixu Sect or his family over the past few years, not because he did not want to but because he knew that it wasn’t safe for him to contact his family.
He wasn’t sure what would happen if he returned to the Taixu Sect given his current condition. Although it seemed like his son and father had a significant status, the Sky Wrecking Great Sage had an equally-formidable status.
Luo Yunyang could not guarantee that no one in the Taixu Sect would try to take the spirit essence in his body, even if they feared his father and son.
Luo Yunyang would only be safe by refining all the spirit essence that entered his body and repossessing his capability to react against all possible scenarios.
Knock, knock!
A hurried knocking sound on the door made Luo Yunyang release his mind power once again. However, the knocking sound did not come from the door to his room but from the gate of the Songyang Sword Sect.
Normally, a number of people would always be stationed at a sect’s gates. However, the Songyang Sword Sect had less than 20 people and they did not have many disputes with anyone else. Thus, it would be a waste of time and resources to have people guarding the gate.
Still, there were array formations that sealed the outer region of the Songyang Sword Sect. Anyone that tried to barge in would be attacked by the array formations.
A disciple of the Songyang Sword Sect went over to the gate to respond to the call. Shortly after that, Luo Yunyang saw a figure.
It was a familiar figure!
It was the stern-looking man who had travelled with Tashan back then. Now, the man was missing his left hand.
Usually, a Star-Grade martialist could mend their body’s disabilities by regenerating the missing part. However, if the martialist was unable to do so, it was likely that the person who caused the injury had used certain techniques that restricted the regeneration of body parts.
Luo Yunyang wasn’t on fantastic terms with the stern-looking man but he finally understood why he had come when he saw the black urn this person had with him.
The stern-looking man handed the urn to the person from the Songyang Sword Sect and brought the news that Tashan had died during a trip.
The entire Songyang Sword Sect was crestfallen because of this news. The stern-looking man chatted for a bit with the Galaxy-Grade martialist that had come to the gates and left right afterward.
The stern-looking man left in a hurry, so Luo Yunyang could feel that he was nervous and afraid.
“Master has died. He had to go on long dangerous trips in order to allow us to have enough resources. He said that he had a good cultivation level and rich experiences, so there shouldn’t have been a problem even if he went to hunt in the galaxies around this area.
“We never expected him to die during this hunting trip and actually be slain by a Demon Monarch-Grade powerhouse. I will definitely get revenge for my master one day!”
Yu Mo stood beside Luo Yunyang’s bed and sobbed bitterly. In fact, Yu Mo, who had always liked to talk, did not care if Luo Yunyang was listening.
What he cared about was finding someone to spill his thoughts to, and Luo Yunyang was exactly the person he had been looking for.
Luo Yunyang already had a deep understanding of Tashan thanks to what Yu Mo had said. The Songyang Sword Sect, where Tashan was from, had originally been a very good second-grade sect. It was an event that had caused their numbers to dwindle down to only a few remaining people.
Tashan’s greatest wish had been to rebuild the Songyang Sword Sect. Thus, he had also done his best.
For example, in order to nurture his disciples, he had desperately taken great risks outside in exchange for resources that his disciples could use in cultivation. For example, he had used his entire life savings in exchange for this mountain, which could be used as a shelter by the Songyang Sword Sect. For example…
It was precisely because of Tashan’s various efforts that the present Songyang Sword Sect, which had turned into a ninth-grade sect, continued to stand. Now, Tashan had died while risking his life for his sect!
As a result, the entire Songyang Sword Sect was not only leaderless but also in a state of panic. They all had no idea what to do moving forward.
Could the Songyang Sword Sect still survive?
10 days later, Luo Yunyang sensed a figure leaving the Songyang Sword Sect while he was cultivating in seclusion. Luo Yunyang recognized this person. It was the Songyang Sword Sect’s strongest disciple.
His cultivation was already close to the Galaxy Grade.
Thus, his reason for leaving was obvious to everyone!
