I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 4050: Chapter 1923: Twin Downfalls (Part 2)

The Eighth Sword Immortal is indeed extraordinary, but the Way of the Sword they practiced, how could it be self-made, solely realized by themselves?

Actually, they also stepped on the shoulders of the Sword Ancestor!

The experience in the Burial Sword Tomb, the solid relationship with You Tu, is also partially related!

All borrowed the Path to proceed; the Eighth Sword Immortal didn’t mention other opportunities, while the Supreme Master revealed more to me.

"I have hesitated before." The Supreme Master pondered for a long time before speaking:

"My hesitation lies in the fact that I saw the limit of the Phantom Swords Technique, even with the profound opening of the sword, the height stops at the Sword Ancestor."

"Perhaps I can transcend, but my chances of making progress are minuscule, and I can’t advance much."

"At most, only equal to when Bazhun’an seals himself as the Ancestral God, if he can achieve that."

A pause, the Supreme Master spoke decisively: "And if he can seal the Ancestor, then the enlightenment I ’inch forward’ with, he will surely do too."

Xi, only then did he understand.

The talent of the Eighth Sword Immortal actually brought immense pressure to the Supreme Master, who lost once to Yunshan Saint Emperor.

He pressured everyone of that era, unwilling to progress only a little, must take great strides forward, and can’t see the limit.

The Path, only then, can be walked in peace.

It seems only in this way can one avoid being left far behind by Bazhun’an.

"So the Supreme Master started practicing the Spirit Dao, combined with the sword, the limit is higher." Xi seemed to realize suddenly.

This slightly flattering statement didn’t draw more conversation from the Supreme Master; instead, it seemed to make the atmosphere awkward.

Xi finished speaking and looked up.

He saw the Supreme Master staring at the box with the word "ghost", his expression somewhat complex.

Is there a problem...

Xi just wanted to ask, but remembering the Origin True Stele, the Supreme Master had said he didn’t know much about it, he stopped.

"Does the Supreme Master plan to pass this to me?"

The box was already handed over; Xi’s question was really asking how to use this item.

He secretly tried using Sword Will and spiritual senses, but there was no response.

Blood dripping?

You’d have to wait until the Supreme Master left to try.

"It’s not meant for your use now." The Supreme Master smiled rarely, but he chuckled.

He gazed into the distance, not explaining more, firmly instructed:

"Do not show this item to anyone, including Hallmaster Dao."

"Later, if I succeed, you will naturally realize how to use this item, and may switch to practicing my Path."

"If I fail, you shall hand this item to the one who cuts me... to Bazhun’an."

"Ah?" Xi was shocked, "Why? The Sword Demon is complete, isn’t that an achievement? Then how to define achievement and failure?"

"I don’t know..."

The Supreme Master, omnipotent and omniscient, always spoke with confusion and ignorance about the Origin True Stele, like a caged golden sparrow.

He could only speak with a speculative tone, heavily saying:

"But by then, perhaps, he will know."

...

Under Fusang City, ghost spirits transform.

Beside a rundown short wall, Xi appeared, holding a wooden box wrapped in black cloth.

No one else was around.

The atmosphere here is terrifying and eerie, instinctively making people want to retreat.

Xi suppressed the impulse to turn away and didn’t retreat.

His gaze swept past Sword Immortal Liu Fuyu, nodding slightly in salute.

Quickly scanning the somewhat unfamiliar woman with cloud-like hair, he briefly thought and recognized her as the legendary figure.

Yue Gongnu...

Calmed down his shock, not daring to speak recklessly, pretending not to know.

Xi looked at the black-skirted woman in the center among the three, the black chicken atop her head stared straight at him... at the box in his hand!

"Long time no see, Ms. Zhiwen."

Xi didn’t exchange any pleasantries, quickly got to the point, handed over the wooden box wrapped in black cloth:

"I am Xi, my master is Hua Changdeng."

"The Supreme Master commanded, this item should be dedicated to the Eighth Sword... Eight Ancestors at this moment, but I can’t get close, so I boldly came to trouble you all."

Even though one of the guesses about this item is that it’s for self-preservation after the master’s demise, to avoid Saint Servant accounting for it later, involved him.

Xi no longer cared, fully disclosed, knowing that under that person’s keen insight, nothing could be hidden.

Who?

Naturally, the Sword-Holding Chicken atop Ms. Zhiwen’s head!

"Bazhun’an’s..."

Yu Zhiwen mumbled, turned her pretty face to the side, "Shouldn’t that be for big sister Yue?"

Yue Gongnu didn’t move.

Astute as she is, she saw the young man’s decisiveness and intelligence.

This box, from start to finish, wasn’t aimed at Bazhun’an or herself, but at Yu Zhiwen, or more accurately, at her head’s Xu Xiaoshou.

"Sorry."

As expected, Xi kept his eyes straight, his tone firm but soft: "This item might need Lord Shou to open."

Yue Gongnu stayed motionless, showing no anger.

The Black Chicken then lifted its wing and pointed at Yu Zhiwen underneath.

Not hesitating to take on the responsibility.

Yu Zhiwen accepted the box, her expression became extremely solemn while opening the black cloth, asked:

"Did he instruct anything else?"

With this question, Xi immediately knew, conversing with him definitely wasn’t Path Division Chief Yu Zhiwen, but Lord Shou.

Ms. Zhiwen, despite being clever, couldn’t ask such an in-depth question, much less so sharply.

But Xu Xiaoshou...

Xi suddenly felt a trance.

If Bazhun’an reaches a height of one level, how should Lord Shou be evaluated?

His reason for coming, disregarding Bazhun’an and Yue Gongnu, was precisely because this situation evolved to this point, getting stormier, yet Lord Shou was unseen.

And the first move holding Bazhun’an as a chess piece, Lord Shou has won over the Three Ancestors outside!

He’s not much older than me...

Xi dared not be distracted, quickly regained his thoughts and said: "The Supreme Master said, he doesn’t know."
