Novel Full Chapter 492
Chapter 492: Chapter 18: The Mirror Sword Conspires, Repaying Kindness Chapter 492: Chapter 18: The Mirror Sword Conspires, Repaying Kindness Xu Yinglian, who had been in a rather pleasant mood, was almost left breathless by Chi Song Immortal’s words.
The Ziwei Master also wiped sweat from his brow internally.
Naturally, Chi Song Immortal would not realize the extent to which Xu Yinglian’s tenacious personality could reach insanity.
Even if he did, would you expect an immortal to consider the feelings of a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple when speaking?
Impossible, right!
“Ahem, the excellence of Yinglian’s qualifications has also put a lot of pressure on Changgeng,” the Ziwei Master hastened to smooth things over.
“Indeed,” Qiu Changtian quickly added, “the junior…
ahem, I too must diligently cultivate, for fear that Junior Sister Xu will catch up with me and I will lose the face of being an elder brother.”
Chi Song Immortal was no fool and naturally sensed something amiss from their tone; glancing at Xu Yinglian’s slightly eased expression, he immediately guessed the majority of the truth and said with a smile:
“That’s right, cultivating is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you fall back.
It’s best that you keep that in mind.”
The group exchanged a few more pleasantries as per the protocol, and then it was time for Xu Yinglian, as the newly promoted top disciple in the Foundation Establishment Realm, to enter Kunlun’s Heaven’s Gate Hall and “Sense the Way” before the Taiqing divine statues.
While she was inside deepening her cultivation, Qiu Changtian was taken away by the Ziwei Master to meet with the Kunlun Elders and prepare for the grand ancestral sacrifice ceremony.
Everyone was well aware of the real reason behind this grand ancestral sacrifice ceremony.

Therefore, the elders in charge of chronicles and reception discussed back and forth, coming up with seven or eight extravagant and grandiose plans, one more lavish than the next.
Without hesitation, the Ziwei Master made a decision:
Use the most grandiose plan and invite Shushan, Penglai, the Buddhist temples, the Confucian Daoist academies, and all the cultivation sects in the world that are not hostile to Kunlun…
To come to the Kunlun Mountain Range to attend the ceremony!
Even Qiu Changtian, who had seen and known much, found it hard to keep his composure towards the end; these seniors really knew how to put on a show!
Well, it’s all well-intentioned, helping me increase my Synchronization Value.
I’ll endure it.
After leaving the main hall, he saw Elder Xu approaching with a beaming smile, asking:
“Why isn’t that child Yinglian by your side?”
“Elder, she is ‘Sensing the Way’ in Heaven’s Gate Hall,” Qiu Changtian respectfully replied.
“Oh, I seemed to have forgotten,” Elder Xu said with a smile, “The Xu Family of Southern Heaven has sent an invitation.
If Changgeng is free in the coming days, you should visit and stay for a while.”
“Certainly,” Qiu Changtian responded with a smile as he watched Elder Xu’s retreating figure.
Speaking of the Xu Family of Southern Heaven, their investment strategies had been laid out over twenty years ago, and now they were finally reaping huge rewards.
The only First Grade Golden Core True Person in the entire world belonged to their family!
If the Xu Family of Southern Heaven did not take advantage of Kunlun’s current popularity to make this known across the world, that would truly be exceedingly strange.
Hmm…
huh?
Suddenly, Qiu Changtian felt something was off.
How is it that without realizing it, the entire Taiqing Sect of Kunlun and the Xu Family of Southern Heaven are all helping me show off?
Ah, it seems my talents are overflowing to the extent that they can no longer be hidden.
In the future, there will be no need to try so hard; simply by standing in a crowded place, my Invincible Character Setting’s Synchronization Value will automatically soar.
Thinking back to the past, when I was painstakingly leading the outer sect disciples through trials, debating with the inner sect disciples, and tirelessly accumulating Synchronization Value to the point of being mistaken for a show-off…
Qiu Changtian could finally say with relief that he had made it.
Hard work eventually pays off!
Struggle and you will succeed!
The Kunlun Mirror coldly watched him feel moved within his heart, then turned to ask the Green Duckweed Sword:
“What about the matter I mentioned before?
Have you considered it?”
The Green Duckweed Sword giggled:
“I don’t know yet.
After all, he is my Sword Master…”
“Enough already,” the Kunlun Mirror showed an “enough is enough” expression.
“Whether you’ve acknowledged a master or not, you might be able to deceive him, but do you think you could fool me?”
“Aww, why do you have to be so hung up on that?” the Green Duckweed Sword said casually, “The sword spirit and the sword are two different things.
Isn’t it fine that I’m willing to acknowledge him now?
But your plan is quite interesting…”
“After all, it’s just to let off some steam, and it won’t cause him any real harm,” the Kunlun Mirror pressed on while iron was hot.
“With his current robust Daoist foundation, when that day comes, he won’t need to worry about their pursuit at all.”
“To put it unpleasantly, even if he plans to ascend to immortality and escape through tribulation, and they manage to pull him back with their combined effort, I reckon not even his essence would suffer any damage.
The next day, he would be unaffected, just dust himself off and continue with the tribulation-do you believe that?”
“So you have that much confidence in him, you think he will definitely be able to form an Immortal Infant?” the Green Duckweed Sword asked in surprise.
“Yes,” the Kunlun Mirror affirmed seriously.
“Just as I was previously convinced that he would be able to form a First Grade Golden Core.”
“From the perspective of saving the world, I naturally should be thankful to him, and I’ve already helped him quite a bit.”
“But his past misdeeds, although committed to conceal his identity and not without reason, did indeed go too far.
If I mete out some punishment afterward in the hopes he will turn away from his wicked ways, it wouldn’t be excessive, would it?”
“Not excessive at all,” the Green Duckweed Sword finally laughed, “Even Daji, who was sent by the heavens to seduce King Zhou and throw the court into chaos, had to face the music for going too far!
We are just scheming against and bullying him, which is quite generous already.”
“So you agree?”
“Count me in.”
Qiu Changtian, however, was unaware of the secret pact between the mirror and the sword, his mind drifting as he listened to the Sect Leader and Elders’ arrangements.
After returning to the Golden Ridge Cave Abode and meditating on the stone bed for a while, he saw Xu Yinglian coming back from outside.
“Senior Brother,” she said cheerfully, “I have reached over three hundred eighty years of Refining Mansion Cultivation.”
“Just twenty more years before you can stabilize and form a Second Grade Golden Core, right?” Qiu Changtian was also very happy for her.
The stronger Junior Sister Xu’s cultivation became, the more she could fill the void I would leave behind in the future, and thus my regrets could be lessened.
The Kunlun Mirror quietly lifted the illusion technique for the moment.
“Senior Brother…” Xu Yinglian, seeing his genuinely joyful expression which didn’t seem like mockery, couldn’t help the stirrings within her heart.
On reflection, her behavior in front of the immortal had been somewhat rash.
When she heard the immortal say, “You are not as good as your senior brother,” her first reaction was anger…
What was there to be angry about?
Could it be that I, Xu Yinglian, was the kind of person who couldn’t accept defeat, who would deceive herself and others rather than acknowledge the truth?
I am inferior to Senior Brother in strength; I also fall short in terms of spirit.
Xu Yinglian, oh Xu Yinglian, put away that pretentious pride.
From now on, you should work even harder to catch up with your Senior Brother.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the beautiful woman in white remain silent for a long time, Qiu Changtian asked curiously.
“Senior Brother, I previously gathered some clues about that traitor from the Xu Family back then,” Xu Yinglian said softly.
???g?.??
“I just didn’t pursue it further because of the ensuing White Jade Capital competitions.”
“When Senior Brother is free, would you be willing to accompany me to investigate together?”
Qiu Changtian was momentarily taken aback before he remembered that the Xu Family’s ancestral teachings did indeed mention a traitor who had dug up the grave of their ancestor Feng Tong, stealing the scripture scrolls and magical treasures inside.
This matter had always been a thorn in the side of the Xu Family elders.
If he could help his Junior Sister recover those things, it would also be a way to repay part of the kindness owed to the Xu Family of Southern Heaven.
Moreover, even if they recovered the items, wouldn’t they still belong to Junior Sister Xu?
Now that she was the most talented in the way of cultivation within the Xu Family, who else should receive the good items if not her?
In repaying the favor to her kin and also giving benefits to my wife, this would be killing two birds with one stone!
“Why would I not be willing?” Qiu Changtian said with a gentle smile, “I will go with Junior Sister.”
