Chapter 422: Chapter 284 Hidden Sword Manor_3
Then Tianyin glanced at the heads on the ground, seeing there were ten heads, all in the Nascent Soul Realm, nodded and said,
"I really like these welcome gifts, offer them as one cent each for you."
"Father!" "Master!"
Zhen Gang and Que Xie were dissatisfied.
However, True Monarch Tianyin ignored them, pulled out a letter from his pocket, and tossed it to Tie Dan.
"Kill everyone on this letter and you can gather a hundred bucks. You’ll have to earn the remaining hundred bucks elsewhere!"
Tie Dan,
"It’s a deal!"
Tianyin,
"A word spoken cannot be taken back by four horses!"
Having said that, Tie Dan turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Zhao Dan was waiting for him at the door, relieved to see he was unharmed and not bloodstained,
"True Monarch, please follow me, your other residence is ready."
Tie Dan waved his hand, wrapping himself with sword light,
"No need, staying in that shabby place just makes me angry, I’m off to cut heads."
"True Monarch, True Monarch!"
This guy was in such a rush that Zhao Dan was helpless,
"Don’t be hasty, True Monarch, Sword Monarch has something else to give you."
Upon hearing it was Sword Monarch’s instruction, Tie Dan had to retract his sword light, frowning as he said,
"I’ve already taken the gourd and received the true inheritance, what else is there to give me?"
It couldn’t possibly be a Soldier Repelling Coin, or Tianyin wouldn’t have been calculating out there with a hundred here and three hundred there.
Zhao Dan said,
"What else could it be, what Sword Monarch left you is naturally a sword. Now that you are the only one in the Yao Guang lineage who received the true inheritance, this pair of treasure swords is naturally for you to command."
Tie Dan’s eyes lit up,
Treasure swords!
And a pair!
Master! Master!!!
"Wonderful! Quick, lead the way!"
So Zhao Dan led Tie Dan to the other residence of Hidden Sword Manor to see the swords.
The treasure swords left by Sword Monarch bowed together upon seeing their new master arrive,
"Hui Ming!" "Zhan Tie!"
"Greetings, Master!" *2
Tie Dan, "..."
Zhao Dan, "Since they are entrusted to you, the task Sword Monarch entrusted to me is complete, Immortal Tie, if fate allows..."
Tie Dan quickly pulled him,
"Don’t leave! What’s with these two!"
Zhao Dan,
"Hui Ming and Zhan Tie, haven’t you seen them before, originally not their time to come out, their sword seal was privately opened, injuring their primordial qi.
Sword Monarch helped re-refine their sword bodies at the Sword Washing Pond of Guangxia Mountain, and now they can be used."
"Use for what, are you kidding!"
Tie Dan was speechless, pointing at Third Lady Shen and Eight Lady Shen,
"Aren’t these members of the Shen Family! She should be that mad woman’s mother! How can I use them!"
Zhao Dan was initially baffled, but then understood, True Monarch Tie after all came from the countryside and hadn’t stayed on the mountain long, thus lacking experience. So he patiently explained,
"As the True Man knows, the Nine Luminaries Sword Scripture practices Human Sword Unity, transforming the body into a sword.
Hui Ming and Zhan Tie were originally Sword Sect seniors who, because they couldn’t comprehend a higher Sword Dao, got stuck at the Divinity Transformation Realm, and were kept in the Sword Pavilion. Some seniors suffered internal injuries back then, their sword bodies damaged, primordial spirits injured, and they fell into slumber, becoming swords. They require the nurturing of sword energy and constant refinement to awaken."
According to previous rules, Sword Sect disciples could take swords from the Sword Pavilion. If they were fortunate enough to catch a senior’s favor, they could borrow divinity-level treasure swords and get protection from seniors’ sword power for cultivation. Meanwhile, they also washed swords with blood, helping senior Sword Monarchs repair their Dao bodies.
However, these treasure swords formed by seniors were too fierce and potent, with unpredictable calamities, making them unmanageable by ordinary disciples, often getting taken over, consuming too much essence blood and delaying cultivation. Also, because of possessing treasures, they became targets of envy and mostly perished in tribulations. So, nowadays, Sword Sect disciples rarely go to the Sword Pavilion to open swords."
The Honzan back then, to support Hidden Sword Manor, gave special graces to the four children and eight ladies of the Shen Family, equipping them with twelve treasure swords for protection, with Hui Ming and Zhan Tie among them."
Those two Shen Family members previously caught up in killing tribulations, privately opened the sword seals, borrowing power from the Divine Sword. Though they fought for a slim chance of survival, they were injured by sword power, their divine souls damaged, diminishing their lifespan, their Immortal Fate severed. They perhaps remember past events, but it’s vague and not like their own experiences anymore."
This doesn’t count as seizing bodies after all, as they are still humans, not swords. Hence, strictly speaking, it’s just that their skin sacks have become sword sheaths for the treasure swords, all their qi circulation is nurturing the sword blades, becoming sword boy puppets. They will serve by the True Man’s side from now on."
If Junior Sister Shen can win at Cloud Platform, you can pass them on to her then. After all, if she loses, she may have to go to the Sword Pavilion to choose one... "
Tie Dan remained silent, looking at Zhao Dan,
"Hui Ming Zhan Tie... Ding Guang Zhao Dan, you too..."
Zhao Dan nodded,
"The sword boys in the mountain mostly harbor swords within. We all lost at Cloud Platform, spoiling our Immortal Fate, thus destined to become sword sheaths our whole life."
Tie Dan, you still have a chance, you must strive to become an Inner Mountain Disciple. Hold your own sword in your own hands."
Tie Dan quietly nodded his head.
