Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the Singing Sword Platform, the river water was surging.

Wang Rong swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, “May I ask, what is the cultivation level of your friend?”

“Fifth-level Foundation Establishment. Why?” Ling Yu was a little confused.

She blinked her eyes and looked at the Sword Pavilion above. She started to doubt her life.

Was this guy really at the Foundation Establishment stage?

Wang Rong’s eyes almost turned black. A fifth-level Foundation Establishemnt cultivator from outside brought a mortal to the Shu Road? The most magical thing was that he just immediately rushed over? He did not stop even after half a cup of tea’s time?

What kind of deity was this guy?

Wang Rong’s face was suffocating, but the communication talisman beside his hand lit up with spirit light. When he found out that it was the Law Enforcement Elder of the Sword Pavilion, he hurriedly injected spiritual Qi into it. “Elder Tang, just now an outsider in the Foundation Establishment stage went up the Sword Pavilion through the Shu Road.”

An old voice came from the communication talisman, “I already know… they are in the Sword Pavilion now. Even the Pavilion Master has been alarmed and is questioning him. Your response this time is quite timely. After all, things happened too quickly. You should stabilize the situation with the Immortal cultivators outside. I guarantee that you will not be transferred to the outer sect.”

Even the Pavilion Master was alarmed…

“Yes, yes, I know,” Wang Rong quickly replied.

“sigh,” Elder Tang said. “You were too timid during the Shu Road trials back then. Otherwise, your future would not have stopped here.”

Wang Rong said a few words with an apologetic smile. Under Elder Tang’s earnest urging, he promised that he would do his job well and turned off the communication talisman.

He looked at the disciples of the Sword Pavilion angrily and said, “You guys heard that? Hurry up and continue to maintain order. Calm down those people and properly run the registration.”

He then turned to look at Ling Yu. “I’m sorry to have embarrassed myself. I’ll help you register first. Speaking of which, two disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect have already registered here just now. They are Ling Zhen and Ling Yi… May I know who you are? ”

Ling Yu was mumbling that this guy seemed to have brought his cat with him. She came back to her senses and said, “My Daoist name is Ling Yu.”

Wang Rong’s mouth twitched. What cat? The person who went up not only brought a mortal, but also a cat? Did he think this was a picnic?

However, thinking about that half a cup of tea’s time, that natural and smooth posture, it seemed that it could be called a picnic.

“Oh, Ling Yu… Hmm? Could it be that Daoist Friend is the fifth disciple of Reverend Sheng’e?”

Wang Rong was stunned. Seeing Ling Yu nod, he thought to himself, ‘Things are getting interesting. This time’s Tideviewing and Sword-listening is going to be really lively.”

…

Liu Yuan did not know that it was too lively outside.

Even though he knew that he would attract a lot of attention by taking the Shu Road, he did not expect it to be so frightening.

In order to complete this task, he had walked the Shu Road dozens of times in the game. Because it was difficult, he had a deep impression of it. He knew which point he needed to go to and what skills to use. Moreover, the Shu Road of the Sword Pavilion was never a test of cultivation, but courage.

Of all his attributes, agility had always been the highest. He had also learned many movement skills, and there was a free guide for beginners to take the Shu Road. It was best to add points to movement speed to increase attack speed, but it was also very practical for running.

Although the Shu Road was dangerous, to Liu Yuan, it was just a matter of slightly seizing the opportunity.

Moreover, he had thought about it in the morning and felt that instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative to find some opportunities.

“Ahhhhhh!!! Ahhhhh!!!” The teenager in his hand closed his eyes and shouted. Liu Yuan helplessly put him on the ground and patted his head.

“Ahhh…?” Geng Qi suddenly came back to his senses and looked around. Feeling the solid ground under his feet, he let out a long breath with a face full of cold sweat. His feet almost went soft.

Liu Yuan’s expression was subtle. It was not that serious in the game, but there were texts like ‘T-This place is really high’. This guy seemed to be a little afraid of heights.

Geng Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Senior, you’re too… Too fast… I can’t take it…”

“…”

If you don’t know how to talk, then stop talking!

Why did this guy have such a style? coupled with that dark-skinned and honest face, it was too scary!

Liu Yuan felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Fortunately, the people in the Sword Pavilion had been alerted and came over. A group of people ran out to see the God who had passed the Shu Road in half a cup of tea’s time. The first person to receive them was an attendant in a light green robe. He cupped his hands and asked, “The Pavilion Master is already waiting in the pavilion. He already knows what happened. Please follow me.”

“Sorry for the trouble,” Liu Yuan nodded.

This servant was not simple. He was the Sword Pavilion Master’s sword servant, which meant that he had attracted the Master’s attention. There was no difference. A 9-star swordsman’s disciple returning to the Sword Pavilion would cause a huge commotion. However, the limelight was on Liu Yuan now.

Geng Qi, on the other hand, looked back with lingering fear. His face turned pale and he quickly followed.

This was the main peak of the 12 peaks of the Sword Pavilion. At the end of a short mountain path, one could see a tall pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters. Beyond the pavilion was a cliff. Below it was the White Dragon River, and opposite it was another mountain. Between the two peaks, there was rolling mist and countless chains connected them.

He could vaguely see the sword furnace on the cliff. Thousands of holes on the dark cliff shone with red light, and the waves were crushed into white mist.

The current sword Pavilion Master, Zuo Youhuai.

As a 9-star swordsman of the Sword Pavilion, he was once known as ‘Sword Sovereign Jian Fu’. The word ‘Fu’ sounded the the same as ‘father’, which meant that he was like the sword’s father. It could be seen that his attainments in swordsmithing were unprecedented and would never be repeated.

Liu Yuan looked at the old man sitting cross-legged at the head of the table. He looked unusually haggard, his clothes were loose and he did not seem to have much energy. He did not look like a Pavilion Master, but like an ordinary old man who was about to die.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master.” Liu Yuan cupped his hands and Geng Qi, who was beside him, followed suit.

Zuo Youhuai raised his head and chuckled. “No need to be so polite. Have a seat. All of you, have a seat.”

Liu Yuan was guided by the sword servant to sit at a table at the side. Geng Qi looked at the current Sword Pavilion Master curiously, but his eyes widened.

The Sword Pavilion Master’s eyes were covered with a white veil. They were gray and cloudy.

He was actually blind!

Geng Qi was so shocked that he almost fell off his seat and hit the corner of the table. He quickly steadied himself and said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was being rash!”

Zuo Youhuai waved his hand and said, “I’m fine, did I scare you?”

Geng Qi quickly shook his head. no, it’s not. I’m just a little strange.

Zuo Youhuai laughed. “Look at this Little Friend beside you. He doesn’t seem to find it strange. Why do you find it strange instead? I was wondering how a mortal could become a swordsmith.”

Geng Qi was stunned and touched his head with an embarrassed smile. “That’s also true…”

However, Zuo Youhuai seemed to have already known Geng Qi’s identity.

The Sword Pavilion Master’s background could be said to be quite miserable. He was born in a swordsmithing clan in the Sword Pavilion. When he was young, he was blinded because of a vendetta. However, he managed to comprehend the Dao of ‘forging swords with his heart’ and became a 9-star swordsmithing master.

Zuo Youhuai’s attitude was friendly, and he took care of Geng Qi. After a few words, he arranged a place for him to stay and his qualifications to participate in the event. He also asked Liu Yuan how he passed the Shu Road and praised him greatly. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

But as they were talking, someone suddenly came to report, “Pavilion Master, Master Duan requests an audience.”

The so-called ‘Master’ was an honorific for swordsmiths.

In the Sword Pavilion, there was only one swordsmith with the surname Duan,who was also addressed respectfully as the City Lord.

Duan Lanruo.
