Chapter 210. Constant Worries (2)
Whew!
It seemed like the danger had passed, but Zhou Xuchuan remained on edge. Although he was the one who said it, he understood just how absurd and unreasonable it was.
The principles and composition of the Violet Haze Divine Art were far more complicated than the Plum Blossom Cultivation Art.
It was an art so intricate that most people couldn’t even complete the missing sutras. How could he figure it out on his own?
So, what could have made You Riwen accept such a wild idea?
That question didn’t remain unanswered for long.
"If you really saw something beyond the wall, I don't know if this will help you or not, but I will give you some advice."
"I will listen carefully to your advice, Sect Master."
Zhou Xuchuan’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, even though he was nervous.
These were the teachings of the Exalted Sword Immortal of the Ten Empyrean Overlords. Just like when he had been with Nangong Weiwu, he couldn't allow himself to miss a single thing.
"I'm saying this just in case, but you should only ever listen and consider the advice, not accept it as fact. While it could also be your answer, it could also be completely different from your answer. So, keep that in mind."
"I will do so."
“Do you know what the level above the Harmony Realm is?”
“No.”
"It's not something that was explicitly decided, but it's generally referred to as the Coruscant Realm."
"The Coruscant Realm..."
The name was unfamiliar to him.
There was no specific term for the realm above Harmony.
Instead, there were names for absolute beings depending on the era, like the title of Empyrean Overlord. If one really had to define it, those who had reached this realm were called Absolute Masters.
"It uses a character that can mean to shine, to dazzle, to boast. So, which do you think it means?"
"To... shine?"
“It’s ‘to boast.’”
Zhou Xuchuan was a little surprised by the unexpected answer. He had assumed that ‘boasting’ would be the least likely answer since it could easily be seen as arrogant. More than that, he was sure that someone like You Riwen, honored with the title the Exalted Sword Immortal, wouldn’t care about showing off.
However, things were completely different from what he had expected.
When Zhou Xuchuan gave You Riwen a puzzled look, the Sect Master of Mount Hua stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
"It could be self-esteem or self-sufficiency. But what matters most is self-confidence."
It was completely different from Nangong Weiwu’s advice!
But the fundamental self was the same.
"If the Harmony Realm is the pinnacle of one's comprehension of the Martial Path, then the Coruscant Realm is a leap toward the unknown. An adventure, and, at the same time, creation."
The confusing words that followed were no different coming from the Exalted Sword Immortal than they had been from the Completion Sword.
Zhou Xuchuan tried to make sense of them but ultimately couldn’t.
"Show off to the world, let them know who you are, and let them see your brilliance. However, if you insist on doing so, you may never reach that point, and if you become obsessed with it, you will never find the answer."
Just what bullshit is that?
Zhou Xuchuan almost cursed in front of the Sect Master.
"I may become an obstacle for you if I say too much, so let's stop here."
"As I'm too stupid and lacking in many ways, I wasn't able to understand everything you graciously taught me."
"You'll understand it on your own when the time comes, so there's no need to rush. Perhaps, if you really have your heart set on the Violet Haze, the Divine Art itself could have been your process."
Are you fucking kidding me?!
Zhou Xuchuan had not achieved the Violet Haze through enlightenment.
He had only lied about it because he couldn’t reveal he had obtained the Violet Haze Divine Art in his previous life.
Still, it wasn't like he could just say, 'It was all a lie, so please just teach it to me properly.'
I guess there's nothing I can do.
"Zheng Huilian is young. It's impossible for someone of his age to control his feelings of jealousy.
"Not even I, an old man, can control such feelings, so how could I expect a child like that to be able to do it?" Ying Jin muttered, sighing deeply.
"It's too dangerous," the Destiny Hand warned sharply.
“You're all right," You Riwen admitted wearily.
“It is dangerous," Shen Yulian agreed. "While Zhou Xuchuan may have a narrow circle of friends, the fourth-generation disciples all unknowingly admire him and follow his lead."
He was the hero of the Righteous Faction.
At first, many people were jealous. However, because of his great achievements, he had become well respected.
"If the younger generation who will lead Mount Hua in the future follow Zhou Xuchuan instead of the next Sect Master, that will lead to an unsolvable problem. At worst, Mount Hua could split into two factions after our deaths."
"Since Xuchuan has no intention of becoming the Sect Master..."
"It doesn't matter whether he has the intention or not. The issue will be those around him who support him. What do you think would happen to Zheng Huilian in this situation?”
For Zheng Huilian, who had been officially recognized as the legitimate successor, Zhou Xuchuan would be worse than a thorn in his side.
“Sect Master. Have you ever talked about Zhou Xuchuan in front of your disciple?”
“I have...”
You Riwen trailed off and closed his eyes.
"I could see him tremble as soon as he heard Zhou Xuchuan’s name."
Gasp!
The Five High Elders of Mount Hua gasped and bowed their heads.
Could he have been so angry that his teeth chattered just by hearing his name?
What if Zheng Huilian ends up wanting to kill Zhou Xuchuan when he finds out?
This is a big deal. I’m worried about the future of Mount Hua!
“We must prevent Zheng Huilian from meeting Zhou Xuchuan.”
***
Zhou Xuchuan froze in place.
The person he least wanted to meet was standing in front of him.
Zheng Huilian...!
Zheng Huilian was going to be the next sect master. However, he would unfortunately lose his life in the wars before he ever reached middle age.
All Zhou Xuchuan really knew about him was that they were around the same age.
“Zhou Xuchuan...”
Zheng Huilian began to tremble.
They had just met by coincidence. While waiting for the results of the elders’ meeting, Zhou Xuchuan had gone to the training hall to warm up.
However, there was an unexpected guest.
After a moment, he recognized the face in front of him. It was Zheng Huilian. He had seen the successor a few times in his previous life, so it didn’t take long for him to recall his face.
I'm screwed. He's definitely going to hate me.
Zhou Xuchuan was also aware of the complicated issues surrounding Zheng Huilian. He’d been too preoccupied with other matters, like the Dark Heavens Association, to deal with it.
But now, thanks to the Violet Haze Divine Art, the issue was unavoidable.
“Zhoooooou Xuuuuuuchuaaaaaaaaan!”
Zhou Xuchuan stiffened. He tried to turn around, thinking he could escape. But before he could move, Zheng Huilian bowed deeply, bending at a full ninety degrees.
“Elder Brother! It’s an honor to meet you!”
Zhou Xuchuan blinked, utterly baffled.
Zheng Huilian straightened up, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
“Wow! You're really here!!”
He was quivering, apparently in excitement. Then, he suddenly took off the top of his uniform.
"Please sign your name here with your sword!"
