After killing the guys who were tracking him, Lyu Liang flew into the Immortal-eliminating Gorge without encountering any further incidents. Without any delay, he rushed towards the direction of the sword stele.

A few hours later, an empty field appeared in front of Lyu Liang. There was a huge sword-shaped stone stele and there were people who constantly touched the bottom part of the sculpture and then disappeared.

Lyu Liang walked towards the sword stele, but he did not touch it. He looked at it for a while and then asked Black, “Black, can you sense what the situation is like inside?”

Black shook his head and said, “It must be a Bounded Domain. However, there seems to be a powerful restriction formation, and I can’t detect what the situation is like inside. You have to look out for yourself.”

Lyu Liang did not hesitate any longer. If he wanted to have a good opportunity, there was no way he could get it without taking any risk. He reached out to touch the sword stele and instantly disappeared like everyone else.

At this moment, Lyu Liang had a strange feeling. He felt as if he was in a whirlpool, and his body was spinning around and falling uncontrollably. In the process, he was surprised to find that the Karma Streamer which was inside his body, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly flashed with silver lights. Together with the bright spot at the top, another similar bright spot appeared at the bottom.

The whirlpool that initially swirled downwards suddenly changed its direction. Lyu Liang could clearly feel that the vortex had changed from vertical to horizontal. Subsequently, the rotation speed increased several times.

Later, Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul felt dizzy and subsequently, he fainted.

…

In a faraway place, there was a large fenced courtyard with several cottages and stone houses. A black bear, which was thirty-three feet tall, was busy tidying up one of the thatched cottages. It carried beddings into the cottage and then brought in a dressing table and some chairs. It looked like the bear was setting up a woman’s boudoir.

In the middle of the yard, a white-browed, bald and lanky, bearded old man, wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, sat on a chair and drank his tea leisurely. A big monkey about twenty-two feet tall, fanned him, its body lowered to show great respect.

At this time, a silver-haired young woman walked out of the cottage. There was a bright red plum blossom in the centre of her forehead. She was gorgeous and her skin had a peach like texture. There was a trace of anxiety on her face and she seemed to be waiting for something to happen.

When the bald old man saw the young woman coming out, he put down the teacup, smiled and said, “Yun, what are you so anxious about? “You made the little bear so busy, and you even set up the incense table, is that really necessary?”

When the young woman heard his words, she rolled her eyes at the old man and said in anger, “You old man, you already have two pro-disciples, so you don’t have anything to worry about! But for me? For so long, I don’t have any disciples and I will no doubt feel anxious, right?”

The old man responded with disdain, “Tai Chu was such a jerk, he had nothing to do so he found something for me to do. I am so happy here! Growing some flowers, planting some grass and accompanied by the bear and monkey. Oh, it was such a stupid mistake to make that bet with him. Though he framed me, I cannot go back on my words!”

The young woman said with slight contempt, “Stop all this nonsense. I already know that you have waited for a long time for this third disciple to help you end that karma! Otherwise, you would not have given him the Karma Streamer when you lost!”

“Oh… cough cough, I, I have nothing to say to you!” The lady’s words made the old man choke and he spat out half a mouthful of tea.

At this time, a strange space crack suddenly appeared above the old man and someone fell from the inside and landed directly on top of the old man.

…

“Aiyo, where is this place… eh?” Lyu Liang was confused for a moment and then found that he had left the endless whirlpool. Now, he seemed to be in a paradise of flowers and birds.

“You idiot! Get up! You haven’t paid your respects to your master and yet you want to betray your ancestors already?” A dissatisfied roar came from below and Lyu Liang jumped up immediately. He then saw a bald old man trying to rise to his feet from where he had landed and he was glaring at him furiously.

Lyu Liang was horrified. “Oh God, this old man could not be the powerful figure that had given him the opportunity, couldn’t he? How could he be so unfortunate to have landed on him.”

While Lyu Liang was having these uneasy thoughts, a silver-haired young woman suddenly rushed up to him. She looked at Lyu Liang eagerly and scrutinized him so thoroughly that she gave him goosebumps.

Subsequently, the young woman waved her hand and lights flashed. The figure of Su Qiao’er emerged beside Lyu Liang and her eyes were filled with confusion.

Lyu Liang was shocked and he instinctively placed himself in front of her to protect her. The young woman smiled and nodded, “Sure enough, you were the little girl whom I imparted the “Virtual-Spirit Mind Mantra” that year. At the time, I wondered why Tai Chu asked me to go down to a remote mortal village? The reason is right here!”

After she finished talking, the young woman gave off a faint fragrance. Su Qiao’er was shocked at first, then there was a look of excitement and surprise on her face, and she trembled and said, “The Qi of Virtual-Spirit! Senior, you are also…”

The young woman stepped forward and waved her hand again. Lyu Liang felt a tremendous force approaching and dodged it. Coincidentally, he hit the bald old man again.

On the other side, the plum blossom on the forehead of the young woman shone brightly. She instantly turned into a beautiful woman with a fascinating style and glamorous appearance! When Lyu Liang saw her, his Divine Soul seemed to have lost all its self- control and he appeared to be obsessed with her.

The glamorous woman walked to Su Qiao’er and whispered in her ear. Su Qiaoer’s gaze gradually turned from confusion to excitement and then from joy to anticipation. Finally, she nodded and then looked back at Lyu Liang. She was a bit reluctant at first, but gradually seemed to be filled with determination.

After that, Su Qiao’er turned to Lyu Liang, bowed and said firmly, “Master, this senior powerful figure is the best person who can guide me on Virtual-Spirit Body. I want to worship her as a teacher and follow her to practice the unique method for my constitution, is it okay?”

At this time, Lyu Liang suddenly lost his state of obsession and he slowly gained his consciousness. Looking into Su Qiao’er’s waiting eyes, he answered happily, “Qiao’er, congratulations, finally you found your real master! I am incompetent to be your master and now, I can finally be relieved of my duty!”

The glamorous woman also said softly, “Kid, rest assured that I will let her seek you on the day when she completes her practice.” Then, she held Su Qiao’er’s hand and whispered, “Let us go, leave the two stinky men to talk among themselves!”

Lyu Liang saw the two beautiful women walking into a hut. He then heard a sigh coming from under him, “How! Beautiful right! Xing Yun Fairy, my Taoist companion, you are jealous, aren’t you!”

“Well, senior, you are so blessed! But she did not look like this before, how did this…”

“You had no idea about this. She is in the highest state of the Virtual-Spirit Body, Phantom-Spirit Body! Did she attract your attention for a while?”

“Well, this fairy senior’s cultivation is so high and Qiao’er is so lucky to be her disciple. She must have done of plenty of good deeds during her previous life!”

“Who said it was not… you! How long will you keep pressing on me!”

…

Moments later, Lyu Liang stood awkwardly in front of the old man, and only then did he take a careful look at everything around him.

“First of all, Black has disappeared. Secondly, Divine Sense cannot be used here.” He was surprised and the old man spoke, “I temporarily placed your Shadow Domain Beast somewhere else; you don’t have to worry about him. You will still be able to meet him in the near future. I am the Tai Su Ancestor Lord of Wu-Ji Five Lords. I created this sword tomb. Did you come here to seek the opportunity for Sword Tao?”

LLyu Liang was overwhelmed with excitement. Although the powerful figure in front of him did not have an aura, he knew that he was not hiding his aura on purpose. Instead, it was because his level was too low to detect the aura! He knew that with one glimpse, the old man could immediately strike him dead. He was no longer at the existence of the Almighty Immortal level. Was he at the existence of the Heavenly Master, or even the Supreme Master? Lyu Liang did not dare to think about it for the time being.

Lyu Liang kneeled respectfully and made three kowtows, and he said solemnly, “You are right, senior. I came here for the breakthrough on Sword Tao and to seek my opportunity! I wonder if a senior can give me some guidance, I am willing to try even if I have to pay the price or go for a test!”

The Tai Su Ancestor Lord seemed satisfied with Lyu Liang’s sincere attitude, he nodded and smiled, “You do not have to pay any price or go through any test. The only condition is to do me a favor after you have finished your learning. Of course, it will be something within your capability. By that time, you shall not refuse. Now, start all your moves and attack the bear!”

As soon as the Tai Su Ancestor Lord said this, a black bear which was about thirty-three feet lumbered forward and spoke to him in a human voice. It said, “Come, hit me!”

Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment and then he felt grateful. “This giant bear seems to have surpassed the existence of the Almighty Immortal level too! Thus, he did not hesitate to use the Xuanyuan swordsmanship, Heart Swordsmanship and Heaven-burning Sword Formation all at once.

After a while, there was a huge whirlpool that emitted a devouring aura, mixed with countless and merciless Sword Qi, which rushed towards the black bear. Not too far away, Tai Su Ancestor Lord shook his head at first, then he nodded, and finally, he shook his head again, revealing a playful smile.

Initially, the black bear did not sense the impending danger. Even when he saw the whirlpool of Sword Qi, it still had a perplexed expression. Suddenly, it moved! The black bear issued a punch and instantly smashed the Sword Qi into pieces!

Lyu Liang noticed that the black bear’s moves seemed familiar! “Wasn’t that the Sword Tao of fist used by Nangong Qingxuan! It seemed to have a name, yes, the Dragon-Rising Tao!”

“The Dragon-Rising Tao?!” Lyu Liang could not help blurting out.

Tai Su Ancestor Lord grinned, “Hey, the silly boy is quite smart! You and I do have a fate. I can teach you the swordsmanship here; Just take it that I have accepted a named disciple! You don’t have to follow the master’s rule, just call me senior.”

Then, Tai Su Ancestor Lord suddenly put on a look that seemed to be smiling, “Your sword technique is hard to be judged? I have seen many geniuses in Sword Tao in my life, and you can be ranked among the top three. However, you are also the most stupid person I have seen in Sword Tao. In such a situation, you have realized such a genius combination of moves. You are indeed the big fool in genius!”
