Chapter 1228: The Ancestral Master Came To Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Mo sat in a lotus position in the quiet room where Tashan had once cultivated. He was trying his hardest to master a sword technique. It was the highest-level sword technique in the Songyang Sword Sect: the Nine-Sky Sun Setting Technique.
According to the records of the Songyang Sword Sect, the founder of the Songyang Sword Sect had once caused the scorching sun to descend by wielding his sword and executing the Nine-Sky Sun Setting Technique.
The character “Yang” of the Songyang Sword Sect also came from the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique.
However, since the disappearance of their first patriarch, no one had been able to understand the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique, let alone cultivate it.
Gradually, the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique had become a defunct technique of the Songyang Sword Sect!
When the Songyang Sword Sect had been exterminated back then, most of the ancient records had been lost. Only the bronze tablet depicting the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique had been left behind.
However, it had always been worshiped as a keepsake. No one actually cultivated it.
Or rather, nobody from the entire Songyang Sword Sect understood what was written on the bronze tablet containing the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique.
Yu Mo’s level of comprehension wasn’t high, so he was merely trying his luck when he took out the bronze tablet.
He wasn’t expecting any form of reward by doing so.
Yu Mo was giddy from reading the bronze tablet and found himself nearly collapsing from exhaustion. He was only at the Star-Grade level, so it was very exhausting to try and comprehend the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique.
Usually, any martialist above the Planet Grade would no longer need to sleep. However, Yu Mo had exhausted himself too much and could not help but feel tired.
When Yu Mo fell asleep, the bronze tablet was illuminated brightly. However, this wasn’t the spirit of Yu Mo’s ancestral master coming alive but Luo Yunyang’s mind power.
The Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique!
Luo Yunyang swept through the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique a few times and managed to memorize its core essence.
The Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique was a supreme technique for martialists of Tashan and Yu Mo’s level. However, it was nothing to Luo Yunyang.
It was merely considered an above-average technique in his opinion.
It was an ordinary technique that gathered flame nomological laws to the point that it felt like the sun of the nine skies was descending. This sort of technique was too simple and consumed too much power!
This was Luo Yunyang’s evaluation of the technique.
According to his original plan, he was not ready to meet Yu Mo yet. However, the arrival of that Young Master and Longfei left Luo Yunyang no choice but to leave seclusion.
One of the reasons was that Luo Yunyang was very annoyed by them. More importantly, he was really unwilling to move his butt from this place.
He was cultivating in peace and if Longfei and the Young Master were to seize the Songyang Sword Sect, he would need to find another place to reside in temporarily.
Although he was now able to move, he had accustomed himself to the peace in the Songyang Sword Sect and was unwilling to leave.
Hence, Luo Yunyang decided to help Yu Mo keep this place.
Given Luo Yunyang’s level of cultivation, he could make Yu Mo’s cultivation base reach the Universe Grade easily.
However, while this might seem exhilarating at first, it was actually limiting Yu Mo’s future cultivation pathway.
Without a good, solid foundation, it was almost certain that Yu Mo would face extreme difficulties while advancing to the next stage of cultivation after the Universe-Grade level or even improving his cultivation any further.
Deep in his slumber, Yu Mo suddenly felt like he had fallen into a vast realm. In this realm, a figure stood in front of him, wrapped completely in light.
“Excuse me, are you…” Yu Mo asked courageously the figure standing in front of him.
“Useless disciple! You can’t even comprehend the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique yet you dare claim that you’re a disciple of the Songyang Sword Sect! How disgraceful!” The figure berated Yu Mo even without looking at him.
Yu Mo was just a young kid to begin with. Even though he was improving these days, he was still vastly inferior to an existence like Luo Yunyang.
After hearing Luo Yunyang’s reprimand, he immediately reacted to the identity of the person in front of him and prostrated on the ground while pleading in shame. “Ancestral Master, this disciple is incompetent and cannot save the inheritance of our sect. I hope that the Ancestral Master can forgive him.”
“The Songyang Sword Sect has really been getting worse with each generation after being handed over to people like you!” Luo Yunyang chided him harshly.
Yu Mo lowered his head in shame after listening to the reprimand of the sect’s Patriarch.
Getting worse with each generation? He couldn’t refute this, as it was the truth.
After all, their sect was really on the verge of being absolved.
“Alright, stop begging for forgiveness. Don’t you want to learn the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique? Watch closely.”
Luo Yunyang didn’t have any time to play the Patriarch of Yu Mo anymore. Thus, he rudely interrupted the only disciple remaining in the Songyang Sword Sect and swung his sword in the void.
At the execution of his sword move, nine scorching suns descended from the void.
Yu Mo was stunned upon seeing the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique. According to the records of his sect, the Nine-Sky Setting Sun should only make one scorching sun descend.
Now, there were actually nine suns. What was going on? Shouldn’t there be just one?
Luo Yunyang watched Yu Mo’s dumbstruck expression before finally reacting. He had gone too far while acting as Yu Mo’s Ancestral Master.
The third-rate Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique now contained a Great Path nomological law after he made some changes to it. Thus, the number of suns had increased from one to nine.
“The focus of the Nine-Sky Setting Sun isn’t on the sun but on the nine skies. Do you understand?” Luo Yunyang definitely wouldn’t tell Yu Mo that he’d imparted the wrong technique, as this would cause the patriarch he was portraying to lose face.
Therefore, he looked for flaws in the technique. The focus of the Nine-Sky Setting Sun wasn’t really important.
“One sun descends from each sky. Therefore, nine suns will descend from nine skies!”
Yu Mo nodded repeatedly. However, just as he was about to ask about the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique, he suddenly felt a lot of information entering his head.
The space that pulled his spirit consciousness in disappeared completely and he woke up from his deep sleep.
He glanced at the bronze tablet in front of him. His surroundings remained the same as before, and the first thought that came to his mind was that he had been dreaming.
Furthermore, he’d had a ridiculous dream. His Master had never mentioned that their Ancestral Master could come in dreams to impart any form of techniques either.
After casting aside this ridiculous thought, Yu Mo picked up the bronze tablet to study the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique again, ready to continue working on it. However, he realized that the incoherent technique written on the tablet had become extremely readable.
Everything had become very easy!
It could even be said that he would be able to fully understand everything on the bronze tablet if he were to attempt comprehending it once more.
After being enlightened, Yu Mo picked up a sword and slashed at the void. Then, a red scorching sun descended from the void.
However, because his cultivation was only at the Star Grade, the scorching sun seemed like nothing more than an illusion. The might of the illusion was already shocking enough for Yu Mo.
He felt that dealing with the Third Senior Brother, who was at the peak Nebula Grade, was already enough. While unprecedented joy filled his heart, Yu Mo ran toward the room Luo Yunyang was cultivating peacefully in.
“Mister, did you know that the Patriarch imparted the technique to me? Ha ha ha! The Patriarch appeared in my dreams. We don’t have to move anymore!”
Yu Mo cried tears of joy and laughed happily beside Luo Yunyang as if he was mad. Although Luo Yunyang did not want to talk to Yu Mo, he still smiled faintly when he saw how happy Yu Mo was
After all, this kid was too easily satisfied.
In the next two days, Yu Mo tried his best to cultivate the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique. Initially, he was only able to create the illusion of a setting sun. However, after two days of hard work, he could already execute two illusions of the setting sun.
His cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds after he cultivated the Nine-Sky Setting Sun Technique earnestly. In the blink of an eye, he was about to break through the peak of the Star Grade.
Luo Yunyang did not pay any attention to Yu Mo after giving the kid a gift. He still had his own things to do and he was in no mood to be concerned about such a trivial matter between two small sects.
Three days passed like a fleeting moment!
On the morning of the third day, a group of people arrived outside the gate of the Songyang Sword Sect in full force. However, all of them were aloof and relaxed.
In their opinion, they were not there to destroy a sect but to see the sights and have a ball.
Although the Young Master was walking in the middle of this group of people, the most important member of the group was actually a middle-aged deacon. His cultivation level was at the peak of the Nebula Grade, but he still had an imposing air about him.
The reason he was acting in such a lofty manner wasn’t because of his cultivation level but because of the Shenwu Sect that stood behind him. As a deacon of the Shenwu Sect, it was natural for him to have a condescending sense of superiority in front of smaller affiliated sects.
After all, he was better and he should be revered by the affiliated sects.
“Young Master, the mountain of the Songyang Sword Sect isn’t very valuable. It isn’t a good place to build your extended courtyard!” the deacon said in a warm, cordial manner.
The Young Master laughed it off and said, “Uncle Master Li, the reason I want to build it here is mainly because it is further away from Longyue Manor. You should be aware of the reason.”
“You kids just want to stay away from us old guys.” The deacon laughed.
“Well, let’s do it your way then. But remember, even if you destroy the Songyang Sword Sect, you have to give him a chance to live. Don’t do anything too ruthless. After all, Tashan of the Songyang Sword Sect was my friend.”
Naturally, the Young Master readily agreed to the request. He turned to look at Longfei and said, “Longfei, this time, it’s up to you to show your ungrateful junior brother the gulf between him and us.”
“Let him join Longyue Manor willingly.”
“Don’t worry, Young Master, I will not let you down!” Longfei promised.
