Chapter 415: Chapter 282 Sworn Brotherhood_2
"Fellow Daoist Tie, how is this treasure sword?"
Then a long-bearded Daoist approached to strike up a conversation, the person who previously tossed the Beichen Treasure Sword to him, Yun Lan True Monarch of the Three Elements Extreme Truth Sect of Sky Covering Mountain. A thousand years of Taoist cultivation, having endured three thunderstorms, survived the Lifespan Tribulation, a cornerstone of the sect, the designated next Sect Leader of Sky Covering Mountain.
Tie Dan also nodded in gratitude,
"This sword can borrow the power of the starlight, greatly enhancing my sword light’s might. Thank you, True Monarch, for gifting the sword."
Indeed, it wasn’t bad, although it still relied on sword light to slay demons, without actually touching the blade. Yet, this Beichen Treasure Sword was bright and shiny, indeed adding power to the Nine Luminaries Sword Power. It’s best used for releasing sword light.
Yun Lan True Monarch nodded and smiled,
"As long as Fellow Daoist likes it, but this sword was truly something I picked up."
Tie Dan,
"True Man, I understand."
Yun Lan,
"That’s good, that’s good... I just happened to pass by an Immortal Palace Cemetery and picked it up from a coffin. If you don’t believe, I can take you to see it."
Tie Dan,
"Alright, True Man, I truly understand."
Yun Lan,
"That’s good, that’s good... So it truly was picked up, just picked up."
Tie Dan was speechless,
"True Monarch is being too clear, I truly understand, but is there some task you want me to do? Or should I trade for it with a Soldier Repelling Coin?"
Yun Lan quickly shook his head,
"No, no, I’m just here to clarify to you that it was picked up by me, nothing else. As long as Fellow Daoist finds it handy, that’s enough."
Tie Dan thought about it and decided to speak plainly, lest Yun Lan continually emphasizes the ’picked up’,
"True Monarch may not know, I am just an Outer Mountain Disciple, always training outside, so I don’t know many mystic sect rules. I know little about the Sword Sect’s many secrets either.
In the past, if various sects had grudges or grudges, I, as a mere member of the Outer Door, really can’t speak on it.
However, if in the future there are places where I fall short, and I neglect the True Monarch, I hope you can point it out."
Yun Lan True Monarch breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softened,
"There’s no neglect, this poor Daoist sees True Man Tie as a young hero, just breaking into Nascent Soul and already having such ability. The future holds limitless prospects. I wish to befriend you.
If you don’t mind, how about we become sworn brothers?"
Tie Dan was also dumbfounded upon hearing this. Sworn brothers?? This thousand-year-old has-been wants to become sworn brothers with him??
"Ah, this... True Monarch, you are a senior, and also a future Sect Leader, on the verge of breaching the Divinity Transformation, while I am just from the Outer Door..."
Yun Lan True Monarch, being astute, could see Tie Dan’s expression, laughed and said,
"Fellow Daoist, don’t belittle yourself, with such skills, how can you remain unnoticed?
Moreover, the path of learning has no age, and the accomplished ones are teachers. I see you surely as the next millennia Daoist, with unrivaled achievements.
And for such esteemed cultivation and virtuous reputation, exterminating demons and safeguarding the path, one must stand forward, which greatly impresses me and wins my affection.
Now, having endured hardships together,
fighting side by side, is a perfect time to sever demon heads, drink demon blood, and become brothers!
Rest assured, we each have our own paths, and if involved with the sect, handle things independently, so as not to trouble the younger brother."
After all, having taken someone else’s possession, Tie Dan found it hard to outrightly refuse, deferring,
"True Monarch has overpraised..."
Yun Lan True Monarch was delighted,
"Brother has agreed then!"
Tie Dan, "?"
Then a group of old mystics surged forward,
"Great! Great! Brother Yun Lan said it so well! Having endured trials together, fighting side by side, now’s the time to become brothers!"
"Indeed! Indeed! We are all blood brothers from different parents!"
"Brother!" "Brother!"
Tie Dan, "??"
Thus, everyone scrambled to set up a Xuan Nu Statue, preparing pig head blood wine on the spot.
Yun Lan True Monarch also took the lead, knelt down in reverence,
"Xuan Nu above! We all, with blood as an oath, become brothers! Share the blessings! Withstand adversities together!
Nie Yunlan of Sky Covering Mountain bows head!"
Tie Dan, "???"
"Zheng Zhi of Si Ming Mountain!"
"Gong Zhongyuan of Qingtian Mountain!"
"Jiqiu Zi of Xiao Weishan!"
"Ping Gongzhi of Gai Zhu Mountain!"
"Yan Bodang of Jade Mountain!"
"Zhao Xingjian of Dongyang Mountain!"
"Wang Fu of Tianmu Mountain!"
Then all eight turned to look, pressing immense pressure on Tie Dan.
Naturally, Tie Dan wasn’t foolish, hearing these names of mountain gates, they all had no prominent reputation, clearly not from the large sects of the nine major sects, evidently all inheritors of the Hidden Immortal Sect. They indeed seem to see his youth and refined strength, wanting to partake in some Immortal Fate. But, again, they were also immortals. Each with thousand-year cultivation, unsure who’s mooching from whom.
However, they weren’t wrong either. They could draw lots and come to fight alongside Tie Dan, sweeping down demons—it’s a bond of fate, though not difficult, truly falls short of considering a blood battle. But that was because the demons were too weak, unrelated to them. Using this excuse to forge a bond wasn’t excessive.
Moreover, with the group of eight elders collectively aging over ten thousand years, directly kneeling, if he turned his back now, indeed it would offend them too much...
Then the Kun jumped onto the Mysterious Goddess Shrine, licked the pig head to show reassurance, signaling Tie Dan to proceed.
So Tie Dan clenched his teeth and followed suit, bowing toward the Kun—no, the Xuan Nu,
"Guangxia Mountain Tie Dan!"
The crowd was overjoyed, "Big Brother!" "Little Brother!" came the calls.
Then Yun Lan True Monarch surveyed this group of opportunists and proposed,
"Since we are sworn brothers, from now on we are family! The ninth brother has just entered a breakthrough! Lacking pills and medicine! Everyone must give support generously!"
This bunch were all old folks, a few seemed clueless, then Zheng Zhi of Si Ming Mountain spoke,
"Big brother spoke righteously! The Immortal Path stretches far and wide, no matter how high the talent, one is inseparable from magic partners, wealth, and resources! We brothers should naturally support one another!"
"This Eight Treasures Silk Purple Gold Robe of mine, I’ll gift it to the ninth brother to shield from the storm!"
"Brothers said it right!" "Ninth brother, don’t be courteous with the brothers!" "Accept it, accept it!"
