Chapter 181: Chapter 143: Xiao Heavenly Person Passes Away (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4

"Ancestor-Master, I always struggle to master this sword technique, it feels very awkward to execute."

At that moment, Bai Yun ran over.

Perhaps stimulated by Chai Shao, she had also successfully perfected the Sword Stabbing Fist two days ago, achieving the Martial Arts Entrance.

"Xiao Yun, why don’t you demonstrate it for your Ancestor-Master?"

Zhou Buping said with a chuckle.

"Okay, Ancestor-Master."

Bai Yun quickly grabbed her sword and began to practice.

"The issue with your technique is quite apparent..."

Zhou Buping immediately spotted the problem and began offering his guidance on the spot.

Li Qian, upon seeing this scene, simply smiled. Ever since his master knew that both disciples had perfected the Sword Stabbing Fist and achieved Martial Arts Entrance, he paid them even more attention, offering personal guidance every day.

Anyway, up to now, both disciples would consult the Ancestor-Master whenever they had a problem, rather than him as their master.

But he was also happy to have some leisure time.

Time passed, and more than a year went by.

One day, suddenly, an Inner Sect Disciple came up from the Divine Sword Hall.

"Uncle-Master Li, Elder Ancestor has suddenly summoned all Grandmaster-level disciples and above in the sect to the Dao-Seeking Cottage, saying that he has some matters to entrust."

The Inner Sect Disciple spoke after performing a salute.

"Entrust matters?"

Li Qian was initially stupefied, but then his heart skipped a beat as he understood what was happening.

Xiao Heavenly Person probably sensed his impending death and was preparing to arrange his last affairs.

Originally, Xiao Heavenly Person suffered many serious injuries, and his Lifebound Essence Qi was greatly depleted. Though Li Qian gave him an elixir to restore quite a bit of his Lifebound Essence Qi, it ultimately did not return him to his peak condition.

Speaking of which, the fact that Xiao Heavenly Person had lived this long was already beyond expectations.

It’s unfortunate that taking more of that type of elixir could only heal injuries but could no longer replenish Lifebound Essence Qi.

Otherwise, Li Qian would not skimp on giving Xiao Heavenly Person another elixir.

Li Qian said: "You go back first, I will hurry over soon."

After the Inner Sect Disciple nodded, he went back down the mountain.

Li Qian then went to find his master, Zhou Buping, who was busy in the backyard vegetable garden.

His master’s spirit and energy seemed fine, although he had aged quite a bit.

Li Qian hadn’t yet given his master that kind of elixir, mainly because his master had previously taken a Life Gathering Pill. Thus, prolonging the interval between elixir dosages would have a better longevity effect.

Li Qian told his master about Xiao Heavenly Person’s summoning.

Master Zhou Buping’s face immediately turned solemn, understanding that Uncle-Ancestor was about to make arrangements for his last affairs.

Xiao Heavenly Person, as the highest-ranked member of the Divine Sword Sect’s upper echelon, could be described as the linchpin of the Divine Sword Sect. It was under Xiao Heavenly Person’s leadership that the sect had survived its most difficult and dangerous period.

Thus, Xiao Heavenly Person’s prestige in the sect was unmatched.

"Let’s hurry over."

Zhou Buping sighed and then spoke.

Li Qian nodded.

He always held a respectful and reverent attitude towards Xiao Heavenly Person.

Now that Xiao Heavenly Person was about to pass away, it was only right to go and see him off.

Li Qian and his master Zhou Buping arrived at Xiao Heavenly Person’s quiet retreat, the Dao-Seeking Cottage, where many elder-level and above martial arts experts of the Divine Sword Sect had already gathered.

Many retired elders had also come one after another.

Everyone understood what it meant for Xiao Heavenly Person to gather people to entrust matters, so everyone’s expression was solemn and the atmosphere heavy.

Inside the Dao-Seeking Cottage.

Xiao Heavenly Person was sitting cross-legged, his face surprisingly radiant, and his spirit seemed exceptionally good.

The other two Heavenly Persons of the Divine Sword Sect, Guiyi Peak Master Hou Shuwen, and Elder Qing Song, stood in front of Xiao Heavenly Person.

Although they were also Heavenly Persons, they were juniors in front of Xiao Heavenly Person.

"From now on, the Divine Sword Sect will be in your two’s care."

Xiao Heavenly Person said calmly.

He didn’t seem to have many regrets about his imminent passing.

After all, he was able to see the Divine Sword Sect produce two more Heavenly Persons, and there was succession.

And surely, the future of the Divine Sword Sect would be even more prosperous.

"Rest assured, Uncle-Ancestor, we will definitely not fail your trust."

Guiyi Peak Master Hou Shuwen said.

"Qing Song, there is another matter that I must tell you about, concerning a top-secret of our Divine Sword Sect. Originally, I intended Hou Shuwen to inform you, but... it’s better I tell you myself."

Xiao Heavenly Person said, looking towards Elder Qing Song.

"Please speak, Uncle-Ancestor."

Elder Qing Song was slightly puzzled.

Thus, Xiao Heavenly Person informed Elder Qing Song about a hidden elder ancestor of the Divine Sword Sect.

Elder Qing Song was dumbfounded. ƒreewebɳovel.com

He had no idea that their sect had such an unknown foundation?

"You just need to be aware of this matter in your heart."

Xiao Heavenly Person said, "You both must remember, Li Qian of the Chen Bell Platform should not be treated as an ordinary disciple. In the future, no matter what happens, nothing should affect the Chen Bell Platform, and regardless of what he does, you should not interfere..."

"Uncle-Ancestor, we will remember."

Hou Shuwen and Elder Qing Song quickly said.

Since Li Qian of the Chen Bell Platform had an unusual relationship with that elder ancestor, they would surely need to venerate him properly.

After entrusting them with his tasks, Xiao Heavenly Person then stood up and walked out of the Dao-Seeking Cottage.

Hou Shuwen and Elder Qing Song, the two Heavenly Persons, followed Xiao Heavenly Person.

When Xiao Heavenly Person emerged from the Dao-Seeking Cottage, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down.

Almost instantly, everyone kneeled down.

In the Divine Sword Sect, only Xiao Heavenly Person, the elder ancestor, was worthy of their worship.

Xiao Heavenly Person’s gaze swept over the crowd, as if he wanted to remember every single person, and then he said with a light chuckle, "Everyone, stand up. Today I will issue my final decision. Effective immediately, above the position of Sect Leader and Sword Master Peak Master, the Divine Sword Sect will establish the role of Supreme Elder, holding the highest decision-making power in the sect. Only a Heavenly Person is qualified for this position. I will serve as the sect’s first Supreme Elder, and Hou Shuwen as the second, Qing Song as the third."

"We obey the elder ancestor’s decree."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Elder Ancestor... haha, I’m not worthy of being called the elder ancestor... Everyone disperse."

Xiao Heavenly Person laughed, then waved his hand and turned towards the Sword Tomb.

The Sword Tomb was his final destination.

Nobody left, instead, they escorted him all the way until Xiao Heavenly Person’s figure disappeared into the Sword Tomb.
