C1659 Jade Artifact Elder

When Lin Bai heard this, he looked over and saw an old man with a grayish beard. Although he was very old, his face was purplish-red and he seemed to be brimming with energy. Although the old man's eye sockets were sunken in, his eyes were not lifeless. Instead, they were like two sharp swords, gleaming with cold light. Upon seeing those eyes, one would feel a chill run down one's spine.

And this lively old man was the owner of this pavilion, the current Sword Pavilion's Great Elder — Jade Equipment!

"Kunlun, I told you long ago that there are only two people here, Master and disciple. There's no need for these courtesies, why can't you remember …" Seeing Kun Wu like this, the jade artifact elder sighed and scolded Kun Wu. However, no matter who it was, they were able to tell that the affection and comfort contained within these words far surpassed the praise.

However, there was a sense of desolation in his words. The fact that there was only one master and one disciple in such a large building was enough to make one's heart ache. Furthermore, this caused Lin Bai to be even more curious. According to common sense, since this jade artifact elder was the Great Elder of the Sword Pavilion, then he should have the most disciples.

"Master, we are no longer the only two people in our sect …" When Kunwu heard this, he smiled and beckoned to the bird, saying, "The bird has a unique origin ability, a natural talent. Furthermore, it obtained an unidentified flying sword in the Sword Tomb, so I took the initiative to bring the bird into our sect on behalf of Master."

"Master!" The jellyfish was also a lively person, after hearing Kunwu's words, it immediately walked up to him with a shy smile, imitating Kunwu's manner. After bowing to the jade artifact elder, it stuck out its small tongue and said, "This old man is so old, not to mention being my master, even being my grandfather would be enough …"

The moment the words left his mouth, the bird immediately felt that something was wrong. It stuck out its tongue and awkwardly looked at the jade artifact elder. Although his words were unintentional, if they were misinterpreted, it was unknown if he thought that he was blaming this jade artifact elder for being too old.

"I've only lived for two or three hundred years," he thought. "Even now, I'm still in a daze, and don't understand where I am." This jade artifact elder's temper was quite good. When he heard the Guard Sparrow's words, he did not feel offended. After he chuckled, he suddenly savored Kunlun's words. His eyes became cold as he tightly held Kunlun's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Where did you go?"

"We went to the Sword Tomb and even saw the Spirit Sword Sect …" Hearing this, Kunge immediately said respectfully.

"Sword Tomb... "Spirit Sword Sect …" Hearing these words, the expression of the jade artifact Elder greatly changed. He looked at Kun Wu with an indescribable shock as he muttered to himself, "How is this possible? How is this possible?" The legend of the Sword Tomb and the Spirit Sword Mountain has disappeared for thousands of years.

Although the legend of the Spirit Sword Mountain and the Sword Tomb spread widely in the Sword Pavilion, no one had ever seen them and no one had ever encountered them before. But now Kunwu said that he had entered the Sword Tomb and met the Spirit Sword Mountain. How could this not surprise the jade artifact elder?

"Master, your disciple's words are absolutely true. We have indeed entered the Sword Tomb, and have even climbed up the Spirit Sword Mountain …" Kunwu had long anticipated that the jade artifact elder would have such a stunned expression after hearing these words. He did not hide anything and told him everything that had happened in the Sword Tomb.

"The heavens have mercy on us. The Sword Tomb and the Spirit Sword Mountain have finally reappeared on the mortal world. Our ancestors did not abandon our Sword Pavilion after all …" He even had tears flashing in the corners of his eyes. He really did not think that in his lifetime, he would actually be able to obtain the exact information about the Sword Tomb and Spirit Sword Mountain. After muttering to himself for a long time, his eyes burned as he looked at Lin Bai and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder if you managed to obtain the inheritance of the Great Way of the Sword."

As the sound of his voice faded, the gazes of everyone shifted onto Lin Bai. Earlier, when Lin Bai jumped down from the Spirit Sword Mountain, due to all sorts of unforeseen circumstances, Kunlun and the rest had yet to ask him about the inheritance of the Great Way of the Sword.

"Senior has saved my Senior-apprentice Brother's friendship. With such great kindness, I, Lin Bai, will never forget." After Lin Bai heard this, he clasped his hands towards the jade artifact elder and said with a wry smile, "However, although I have successfully ascended, I have yet to obtain the inheritance of the Great Way of the Sword."

"What?!" The moment Lin Bai's words left his mouth, everyone in the crowd looked at him with expressions of bewilderment. According to the legends of the Sword Pavilion, as long as one succeeded in ascending to the top of the Spirit Sword Mountain, they would be able to obtain the inheritance of the Great Way of the Sword. But why would Lin Bai say that he didn't obtain the inheritance? Could it be that Lin Bai was afraid that the treasure would lead to his downfall, and he was purposefully hiding it from the crowd?

"My words might cause the Jadewood Elder and Fellow Daoist Kun to be a bit disappointed, but in my opinion, on the peak of the Spirit Sword Mountain, there is no such thing as a Great Way of the Sword! The word of inheritance is merely a matter of catching the wind and catching the shadows. " How could Lin Bai not see the bewilderment in the eyes of the crowd? Laughing lightly, he proceeded to scan every nook and cranny he saw on the peak of the mountain.

As Lin Bai narrated each word, the atmosphere grew increasingly silent, while the faces of the crowd were filled with amazement. No matter which one of them it was, none of them could have imagined that the peak of the Spirit Sword Sect would be completely empty. The legend of the great Dao's legacy at the peak of the Spirit Sword Mountain was actually just an empty saying …

"If I'm not mistaken, the secret of the stone steps lies in the trials of the 55th, 77th, and 99th levels, as well as the trials of the Dao-heart." After explaining the whole story, Lin Bai smiled apologetically and said slowly.

"Ancestral Master has put in a lot of effort. Until today, only we, the disciples, can be considered to be aware of it. Truly …" After the jade artifact elder heard this, he gently sighed, but his eyes were full of bitterness.

He knew that with Lin Bai's cultivation level and temperament, since he had even told them about the secrets of the 55th, 77th, and 99th step, there was no need to conceal anything about the Spirit Sword Sect from them. It was likely that everything was just as Lin Bai had said. On the Spirit Sword Mountain, from the very beginning of creation until now, there had never been any inheritance of the Great Way of the Sword!

It was a pity that these disciples of the Sword Pavilion, day after day, year after year, were chasing after such an illusory idea. They even thought that they would only be able to obtain the Great Way of the Sword once they reached the peak of the Spirit Sword Mountain! The true intentions of the ancestors were completely misunderstood by them. Now that they thought about it, it truly was ridiculous to the extreme!

It was all thanks to Lin Bai discovering the secrets of the Spirit Sword Sect that he was able to remind the people in his dreams.
