Chapter 2: Qi Refinement for 3,000 Years

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Qiuran was a name that only existed in the oldest sect of the Green Netherworld Sword Sect.

Three thousand years ago, demons wreaked havoc in the Nine Continents and Ten Lands. The people lived a miserable life. At that time, the various cultivation sects had suffered heavy losses from the war with the wilderness demons and had yet to recover.

In such a chaotic world, a talented sword immortal appeared. He called himself Green Destiny and relied on the Green Edge Sword to kill demons and restore peace to the Nine Continents. Then, he arrived near the Green Destiny Mountain in the Gu Continent and adopted a few talented disciples to establish the Green Destiny Sword Sect.

Bai Qiuran was one of the disciples Daoist Green Destiny had taken a fancy to and adopted. He was an orphan picked up by Daoist Green Destiny from the battlefield. Before Daoist Green Destiny found him, he wandered the battlefield and lived by looting the corpses of the dead.

Because he was born with a heaven spirit root, Daoist Green Destiny had taken a fancy to him and brought him to the mountain to take him in as his third disciple.

Bai Qiuran’s talent was very high, and his intelligence was also top-notch among his brothers and sisters. He began to cultivate at the age of ten and had already broken through the bottleneck of the mortal body Qi Condensation Body Tempering at the age of twelve. He gathered the three flowers at the top of his head and the five qi in his chest and officially stepped onto the path of cultivation.

At that time, the entire Green Destiny Sword Sect, including the weak cultivation world that had experienced the war and the demon calamity, had high hopes for him and thought that he would become Daoist Green Destiny’s successor.

Bai Qiuran did not disappoint. He calmed down and continued to work hard. When he was seventeen, he became the fastest person in his sect and was also the fastest cultivator in the history of the cultivation world to reach the tenth level of Qi Refinement.

His master, Daoist Green Destiny, was overjoyed. He even gave up on entering seclusion to deal with the heavenly tribulation and personally came out to refine a batch of transcendent-grade Foundation Establishment Pills for Bai Qiuran.

With the Foundation Establishment Pill given to him by his master and the blessings of his fellow disciples and seniors in the cultivation world, Bai Qiuran entered seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm that night. He consumed the pill and his aura sank into his dantian. His thoughts connected to the meridians and bones in his body. Three days later…

He had broken through to the eleventh level of the Qi Refinement realm.

At that time, everyone did not care and thought that it was because Bai Qiuran was talented. Even their master, Daoist Green Destiny, comforted Bai Qiuran and said that there were strange people in ancient times and that there were as many as fifteen levels of the Qi Refinement realm.

In the end, in the blink of an eye, 3,000 years passed. His master, Daoist Green Destiny, successfully transcended the tribulation and ascended to become an immortal. After his eldest senior brother took over as the sect master, the other party failed to transcend the tribulation and died. Even his youngest junior sister’s sixth grandson successfully reached the Foundation Establishment realm and learned to ride the wind on a sword.

As the most talented disciple at that time, Bai Qiuran had successfully cultivated to the 66,664th level of the Qi Refinement realm.

Until today, even the brat he brought in when he left the mountain to travel more than 700 years ago had become a grand elder and was in seclusion to prepare for the heavenly tribulation. He was still persevering in order to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

…

After the Thunder Demon Supremacy was killed by Bai Qiuran, Jue Yunzi immediately reacted. As the sect master, he ordered the first-generation red-robed direct disciples to clean up the mess. Then, he brought the elders and welcomed Bai Qiuran, the Uncle-Grandmaster of the Qi Refinement realm, into the main peak.

“Thank you for saving me this time, Uncle-Grandmaster.”

After arriving at the sect master’s courtyard on the main peak, Jue Yunzi brought the elders into the hall. However, he did not take the main seat. Instead, he gave the main seat to Bai Qiuran.

“If not for Uncle-Grandmaster, no one in the current Righteous Dao Alliance can defeat that Thunder Beast whose cultivation is comparable to a Mahayana realm beast alone. At that time, not only will the Green Destiny Sword Sect suffer a calamity, but it will also be a calamity for all living beings.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Bai Qiuran replied very gently, “I’m the only disciple of the first generation that Master took in. It’s naturally my duty to protect the sect he left behind.”

“Fortunately, there are no disciples injured by the Thunder Beast’s attack this time, but it still takes time for our sect to recover.”

At this moment, Third Elder Bie Yun also spoke up.

“Sect Master, what about the disciple selection tomorrow?”

Jue Yunzi thought for a moment and said, “Postpone it for three months.

“The attack of the Thunder Beast destroyed the arrangements we made for the selection of disciples. Bie Yun, I’ll leave this matter to you. Restore the arrangements as soon as possible. As for the candidates waiting at the Hanging Sword Town at the foot of the mountain, the Green Destiny Sword Sect will pay for their food and accommodation for the next three months.

“We also have to bring up the rebuilding of the mountain-protecting formation and the mountain gate.”

The Sixth Elder, Origin Master Qing Yun, said gently, “When Senior Brother Sect Master fought that Thunder Beast, the magic power and sword aura he leaked destroyed many buildings. Among them, there are two storerooms. I think a lot of the supplies inside were also destroyed and need to be replenished and repaired.”

“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you. Qing Yun, lead the first-generation direct disciple to supervise this matter. I’ll get Liu Yun to transfer the money you need to you.”

Jue Yunzi instructed calmly.

“Yes.”

After receiving the order, Primal Lord Qing Yun and Primal Lord Liu Yun, the two female elders of the Green Destiny Sword Sect, retreated to deal with this matter.

In the next short while, Jue Yunzi discussed the recent affairs of the sect with the elders and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

During this process, Bai Qiuran did not speak and kept looking at him silently. After everything ended, he sighed.

“Time really flies. That ignorant fool back then has also become a sect master.”

“I’m counting on Uncle-Grandmaster’s care.”

Jue Yunzi said to Bai Qiuran very sincerely.

Back then, when he was chosen to be the next sect master, he had encountered many encirclement and suppression by demon sects and even other cultivation sects. At the critical moment, it was Bai Qiuran who saved his life.

“I’m relieved to see that you’re here.”

“I’m going down the mountain tomorrow.” Bai Qiuran smiled and said.

“Uncle-Grandmaster, why are you in a hurry to leave the mountain?” Jue Yunzi was stunned.

“The Green Destiny Sword Sect’s sect selection ceremony is about to begin. Now that the Thunder Beast is attacking, the other sects will probably receive the news. Without Uncle-Grandmaster holding down the fort, I’m afraid something will happen…”

“What are you afraid of?”

“Among all the experts within the five major sects of the Righteous Dao Alliance, tell me, who can’t you defeat in a one-on-one battle?”

“This…”

Jue Yunzi thought for a moment.

“I think, probably, maybe, probably, I’m slighter stronger than all of them.”

“Then who can you defeat as the leader of the four factions of the Demon Sect?”

Bai Qiuran asked again.

“Hmm…”

“I think I’m still better…” Jue Yunzi hesitated and said.

“Then what are you afraid of?!”

“Even so, I don’t believe that you, a sect master and a group of Body Integration and Divine Division realm elders can’t hold down the fort for the disciple selection.” Bai Qiuran waved his hand and said.

“That seems to make sense.” Jue Yunzi nodded.

“But why does Uncle-Grandmaster suddenly want to go down the mountain? Ever since you moved to the Seven Star Peak, you haven’t gone down the Green Destiny Mountain for hundreds of years.” Jue Yunzi couldn’t help but ask.

“Recently, I think I’m about to break through.”

At the mention of this topic, Bai Qiuran revealed an expectant expression.

“I have a feeling that I will definitely be able to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment realm this time. However, I still lack a few medicinal materials for my super Foundation Establishment Pill. I need to go down the mountain to find them.”

“Forget it, Uncle-Grandmaster.”

“That’s what you said last time. In the end, the hen you raised to lay eggs 200 years ago has already formed a core and transformed. You’re still in the Qi Refinement realm, but you’ve only broken through more than ten levels. Do you know? Before the Grand Elder entered seclusion, he held my hand and cried, saying that the day he came out of seclusion was the day he transcended the tribulation. He said that he might not be able to see the day when Uncle-Grandmaster successfully reaches the Foundation Establishment realm in his entire life.” Jue Yunzi smiled and said.

Bai Qiuran clenched his fists, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

“Cut the crap!”

He ignored the few elders present and grabbed the collar of the Sect Master, Jue Yunzi.

“I want to go down the mountain! Give me some money for the road! Also, I want a Heavenly Heart Grass.”

“Uncle-Grandmaster.”

Jue Yunzi revealed a difficult expression.

“If you want money, I’ll naturally prepare it for you. However, even to us, the Heavenly Heart Grass is something that can only be chanced upon by luck. There’s none in the Green Destiny Sword Sect’s medicinal warehouse. How am I supposed to help you find it…”

“I know that you encountered one on the way when you climbed over the wall and descended the mountain 30 years ago. Don’t even think about hiding it.”

“Moreover, you don’t cultivate poison techniques. What’s the use of this thing? You might as well give it to me.” Bai Qiuran pointed at Jue Yunzi and said.

“Uh, I’m prepared to take it to the next Dao Alliance auction.”

Jue Yunzi still refused.

“Moreover, you might not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm even if I give it to you. In the end, wouldn’t it be wasted…”

“Cut the crap. Are you going to give it to me?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

Jue Yunzi hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.

“Alright, that’s fine.”

“I’ll go find Liu Yun and get money from her. At the same time, I’ll talk to her about how you, Xuan Yun, Fu Yun, and Bai Yun formed a team to peep at her and Qing Yun bathing in the Moon Gazing Pool 300 years ago…” Bai Qiuran pretended to walk out and muttered.

The expressions of the Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder changed.

“Senior Brother Sect Master!”

Second Elder Xuan Yun was the first to step forward.

“Grandmaster has guarded the Green Destiny Sword Sect for more than 3,000 years. Now, he only wants a small poisonous grass. Why can’t you just give it to him?”

“That’s right.”

Fourth Elder Fu Yun then chimed in.

“Since ancient times, the juniors have always respected the seniors. Uncle-Grandmaster is our senior. As a disciple, we naturally have to do our best to find what our senior wants to show our filial piety.”

“Why are the two of you suddenly so excited?”

Jue Yunzi’s handsome face was filled with coldness.

“Sigh, Sect Master, Second Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother are being righteous.”

“Moreover, you were the one who took the lead back then. When Liu Yun and Qing Yun go crazy, you will be the one who suffers the most in the end.” Fifth Elder Bai Yun said blankly.

Jue Yunzi looked at his three spineless junior brothers who had betrayed him and surrendered to the other party. Then, he turned his gaze towards Uncle-Grandmaster, who was leaning by the door and looking at him with a faint smile. Finally, he sighed.

“Uncle-Grandmaster, although I’m your junior disciple, don’t go too far.”

The sect master had a righteous expression.

“Whatever you need, just let me know. I’ll get someone to send it to the Seven Star Peak for you. How can I let you come and get it yourself?!”
