Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1802 - 1803: Swear an Oath! First Update

In the days following the failed attacks by the two sects, many sect leaders put aside their pride and proactively sought friendly relations with the Dan Shen Sect.

Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji were extremely busy, while Ye Qiu was recuperating and unable to entertain guests, leaving the two to manage the affairs.

Every time a guest arrived for a visit, Jin Xiaoshun was delighted, for none of them came empty-handed. They all brought various fine items, especially Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicines, which were the most prevalent.

"Ever since the Sky Star Sect and Thousand Illusions Sect failed to destroy our Dan Shen Sect, people have been flocking here daily, wishing to meet the Sect Leader. Everyone knows that our Dan Shen Sect is bound to rise, and they all want to curry favor with us." Jin Xiaoshun said.

"When you’re in dire straits, nobody pays attention to you, they even avoid you; but once you succeed, even if you live in the deep mountains, people will visit you. That’s just the way things are. It’s not hard to understand their actions." Hua Wuji said, with a tone of worldliness.

"I don’t have Elder Hua’s high level of understanding. Anyway, I never refuse anyone and accept whatever they bring." Jin Xiaoshun said.

The two of them welcomed over ten people daily for seven to eight consecutive days and had grown accustomed to it.

During this period, both the Thousand Illusions Sect and the Sky Star Sect remained very quiet, seemingly lying dormant, with even their sect disciples seldom venturing out, which sparked quite a bit of discussion.

"It’s not surprising that the Thousand Illusions Sect is laying low, given that they lost a Saint. But as for the Sky Star Sect, their Saint is still alive, so why are they so quiet too? It’s completely different from their usual grandstanding."

"If you ask me, the fortune of these two sects has run its course, and it’s time for new sects to replace them. The wheel of fortune always turns."

"But recently, the Piaomiao Sect has been quite high-profile. Shen Aotian has boasted several times about wanting to engage with Wang Luoxing and Li Hanbing."

"Currently, in Qingfeng County, among the young Martial Artists, the number one is undoubtedly the Dan Shen Sect Leader, Ye Fentian. He’s even capable of slaying a Saint, leaving everyone in the dust. Even Shen Aotian and Bai Zishu have to admit this fact. They only dare challenge Li Hanbing and others, while avoiding Ye Fentian. It seems that even the pride of the Piaomiao Sect must bow before Ye Fentian."

"It’s not just the younger generation; even the older Martial Artists count. Who dares to challenge Ye Fentian, a person who has slain a Saint? People are busy trying to ingratiate themselves with him rather than picking fights."

The story of Ye Qiu single-handedly confronting two major sects and averting a total destruction crisis has now become a legend in Qingfeng County, frequently discussed by many. Even young people, upon hearing the name Ye Fentian, recognize him as a great figure and look up to him as an idol.

And as for the Dan Shen Sect, it’s no longer shunned as it used to be. Nowadays, when people mention the Dan Shen Sect, they think of sending their children there to study, completely changing previous perceptions.

Becoming a disciple of the Dan Shen Sect has become a target for many.

Even servants from the Dan Shen Sect are given a measure of respect outside the sect. Though the Dan Shen Sect is not yet among the top three sect rank, it seems to be closing in on them.

Especially now among the three major sects, two are virtually half-crippled, leaving only the Piaomiao Sect with relatively strong power. However, considering the Piaomiao Sect’s relations with the Dan Shen Sect, conflicts are unlikely.

It’s only a matter of time before the Dan Shen Sect becomes a major sect.

Within the Sky Star Sect.

After briefly cultivating for a few days, the Sky Star Saint emerged from seclusion and conversed at length with the sect leader.

Subsequently, Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong received personal training from the Sky Star Saint, which astounded many disciples of the Sky Star Sect. Being guided by a Saint is an incredible privilege previously unheard of in the sect.

The Sky Star Saint hadn’t taken on any disciples in centuries.

Now, the Sky Star Saint, breaking from seclusion, is set to guide Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong on their martial path, envied by many. Even some elders remark that if they could receive guidance from a Saint, they would have reached the Saint’s threshold by now.

Naturally, Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong were overjoyed upon hearing the news, and eagerly paid their respects to the Sky Star Saint.

The Sky Star Saint stood atop the mountain, back to the two of them, "Before I guide you, I hope you will swear an oath."

Swear an oath?

Both were puzzled as to why an oath needed to be made.

Though unclear on the reason, they respectfully nodded in agreement. Receiving guidance from a Saint is rare and an invaluable opportunity, one they deeply cherish.

"Very well." The Sky Star Saint turned around and looked at Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong, saying, "Within ten years, you must not become enemies of the Dan Shen Sect. If you wish for my guidance in martial arts, make this oath: those who violate it shall die without mercy, struck by lightning, never to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. If unwilling to make this oath, you may leave now without blame."

Not become enemies of the Dan Shen Sect?

Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong were surprised that the Sky Star Saint would ask this of them, considering their significant grudges with Ye Qiu. How could they not focus on their adversary?

"Ancestor, we’re puzzled. Why ask for this oath? Do you not wish for Ye Fentian’s demise, for the Dan Shen Sect’s ruin?" Wang Luoxing voiced his confusion.

"Indeed, Ancestor, we wish to understand the reason. Ye Fentian has humiliated the Sky Star Sect, and being his enemy is only natural. Why turn away from opposing him?" Situ Rong agreed.

The Sky Star Saint silently gazed at the two for a long while, making them tense with fear of offending the Saint. Suddenly, the Sky Star Saint spoke openly, "Do you think I’m making you swear because I fear Ye Fentian?"

"It’s not to prevent you from harming ourselves or our sect. Currently, the Dan Shen Sect has deep ties with the Auction House, and even the Piaomiao Sect has grown friendly with them. The Sky Star Sect’s standing is precarious."

"But we have you, Ancestor. As long as you’re with us, even if the Auction House has a Saint, they must respect us, right?"

The Sky Star Saint smiled wryly, "While true I’m a Saint, but..."

Pausing briefly, the Sky Star Saint continued, "But... I’m near the end of my life, with less than ten years left. Do you think others will fear me for long?"

The revelation shook Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong—they realized their Saint Ancestor was nearing his life’s end. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

No wonder he emerged from seclusion to guide them; it’s clear he intends to nurture them.

They understood the Sky Star Saint’s intentions.

"I have a few years left to guide you. During this time, if you quickly improve, I can rest easy. Ye Fentian has a Saint by his side, and he is peculiar himself, capable of slaying the Thousand Illusions elder. Not simple, not to be underestimated. I’m having you swear because I don’t want you to die by his hand. Ten years is enough for you to rise; if you work hard, perhaps before then, you’ll be able to stand against Ye Fentian. But you’re not there yet..."

"Alright, we swear." Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong knew the Sky Star Saint only wished them well. Ten years is manageable without provoking the Dan Shen Sect.

"A gentleman’s revenge is not too late, even after ten years." Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong exchanged glances and began to swear.

Seeing the determination between his disciples, the Sky Star Saint’s face bore a hint of satisfaction. "I hope you truly rise so I can leave without worries."
