NovelEnglishChapter 771: A Twist
“Then there really is no other way.” Ling Chuxi gave a bitter laugh. Although the Celestial Sect was considered the leader amongst the five great sects, it was merely talk and was not acknowledged by everyone. If they wanted to investigate this matter, they could only do it privately. Even if they did investigate, how many years would it take to find the culprit? Xiaomo could not wait that long.
“Chuxi, there’s not much we can do now. I will find the culprit somehow. As for Xiaomo’s matter, I can only beg you for help. Even if... the worst situation really happens, I will not blame you,” Duan Qingchen said to Ling Chuxi solemnly and sighed dejectedly.

Furthermore, even with his cultivation, he could only forcefully investigate the oddity within Duan Xiaomo’s mind ocean, what more someone else?
“Then, I shall leave the matters of Xiaomo in your care. I will personally investigate the assassin,” Duan Qingchen declared. When he first got that letter, he had already been prepared to hunt down the culprit, but had delayed things because of Xiaomo. Unfortunately, their time was limited, so he had to act now.
“It’s best not to delay. Just leave Xiaomo to me.” Ling Chuxi solemnly nodded.
Duan Qingchen was not a person to drag things out, so after they finished speaking, he stood up to leave. As he walked out, he sighed and muttered to himself, “It is a pity that the Cang Yuan Sword’s whereabouts are unknown. Haih!”
“Wait, Uncle Duan!” Ling Chuxi heard him mention the Cang Yuan Sword and immediately called out to stop him.
“Chuxi, did you think of something?” Duan Qingchen turned around and asked.

“The Cang Yuan Sword got its name from a powerful senior, Cang Yuan. Our Celestial Sect’s Celestial Cultivation Method was supposedly created by that Senior Cang Yuan too. According to the records of our sect, Senior Cang Yuan himself was also of Celestial Core. If we could find the remnants of the Cang Yuan Sword Spirit, perhaps we could see through the mysteries of the Celestial Core, which might be helpful for Xiaomo.” Duan Qingchen shook his head and continued helplessly, “It is just that the Cang Yuan Sword is mysterious and hard to find. Many sects have been searching for over ten thousand years and nobody has found anything. Where would we even search within such a short period of time?”
Hearing Duan Qingchen’s words, Ling Chuxi felt like a light had appeared in the darkness. Any other person who wanted to find the Cang Yuan Sword remnants would struggle, but since her Luo Chen Sword already contained the integrated Sword Spirit, Sword Soul, and Sword Essence, it would be easier for her!
The only problem was that the Cang Yuan Sword Spirit was still in deep slumber. Awakening him required the Ink Jade Crystal, which was the one thing Ling Chuxi didn’t have. Of course, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem for Duan Qingchen though.
“Uncle Duan, to be honest, I have already learnt all three medical streams of the Golden Pill Sect. Besides the two streams from the Su family and the Gao family, the other stream of medicine includes the cultivation methods of Senior Cang Yuan. I was thinking maybe it would be related to the Celestial Core?” Ling Chuxi did not wish to reveal the secret of the Cang Yuan Sword and could only indirectly hint at it. Either way, the other stream of medicine of the Golden Pill Sect was not known to Su Yizhi and the rest, so Duan Qingchen would not be able to tell whether it was true or not.
“Really?” Duan Qingchen’s eyes widened in surprised delight. Although the Golden Pill Sect knowing the cultivation methods of Senior Cang Yuan sounded a bit odd, the only thing he cared about right now was Xiaomo’s safety, so he didn’t think too much about it.
