No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Calmness was restored in the Qingyun Dao Sect while the visions in the sky, the flying swords and Sword Qi vanished, making the skies clear again.

The only two eyewitnesses were Gu Jianxian and Da Xu, who had yet to snap back to their senses at this point.

Gu Jianxian was not preoccupied with the fact that a Mahayana realm cultivator had fallen.

Instead, he had slipped into a trance because of Su Changyu’s sword.

He didn’t know how strong Su Changyu really was.

However, that sword move was beyond reason and his knowledge.

He was at a loss for words to describe it.

Su Changyu remained calm when he returned to the rear cliff.

It was as if everything that he had seen just now was insignificant as there were no changes in his emotions at all.

At this juncture, Gu Jianxian returned to his senses and bowed to Su Changyu respectfully.

“I’m too dunce to comprehend the supreme sword technique you have imparted to me, Master.”

Gu Jianxian said.

Su Changyu’s sword move was simply too extraordinary and the way he summoned his sword was incredibly terrifying.

Even though he was the best Sword Immortal in the world who was only a step away from proving the Dao to become a Supreme Sword Immortal, Gu Jianxian had no choice but to admire Su Changyu while staring at his back from a distance.

Hearing Gu Jianxian’s words, Su Changyu fell silent.

He didn’t expect Gu Jianxian to be so straightforward as to admit that he hadn’t learned or comprehended the sword technique.

He didn’t know how to answer him.

He carefully thought about the sword move that he had executed just now.

‘Is this something that ordinary people can learn?’

‘That’s simply impossible.’

‘Not everyone is like Ye Ping who can pick up everything I teach him. Regardless of what I say or do, Ye Ping will comprehend everything.’

‘Why did I say those words and trap myself?’

‘My instinct is to pretend to be impressive at all times.’

“Ah.”

Su Changyu sighed slightly. After he heard Su Changyu sighing, Gu Jianxian’s heart was full of guilt.

Su Changyu’s sword move just now was clearly executed for his sake. Otherwise, Daoist Tai Xuan, who was a mere Mahayana realm cultivator, would not be worthy of dying under his sword.

After a moment of silence, he knocked Gu Jianxian’s head thrice.

“Comprehend well, don’t be in a hurry. More haste less speed.”

“I have other things to do, I’ll check on your progress when we meet again.”

Su Changyu then left with his hands behind his back.

It wasn’t that he felt too embarrassed and wanted to muddle through it before fleeing, but rather, he had many other things to do.

When he saw Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse, he was grief-stricken and overwhelmed with anger. There were many more things in his mind as he had found out about a lot of things.

For example, he had already learned of his birth status, as well as the fiend for dealing with the tribulation, from the letter that Daoist Tai Hua had written to him.

That made Su Changyu realize that he had plenty of things to do.

Hearing Su Changyu’s words, Gu Jianxian immediately spoke up.

“Master, if you have something to do, I’ll do it on your behalf.”

Gu Jianxian said.

At this moment, he genuinely treated Su Changyu as his master.

“No need for that.”

Su Changyu waved his hand, and his figure directly disappeared into the void.

“Exalted Immortal Changyu…”

Da Xu snapped back to his senses and froze when he saw Su Changyu leave just like that.

‘Do I continue staying here?’

‘Even if you have something to do, you should teach me a few moves and give me some treasures first.’

‘I’ve put my life at risk for the Qingyun Dao Sect and acted as a messenger too.’

“Master, bon voyage, I will definitely comprehend the Sword Dao well and become a Supreme Sword Immortal.”

Gu Jianxian said as he watched Su Changyu leave.

He then sat on the rear cliff and began pondering about why Su Changyu knocked his head thrice.

He believed that there must be some deeper and profound meaning to it.

Otherwise, Su Changyu could not have knocked his hand on his head thrice.

———

There was an event today that took the entire cultivation world by storm.

That was, someone had proven the Dao and become a Supreme Sword Immortal, making the flying swords in the world buzz.

Almost everyone saw the vision previously. Countless flying swords flew into the sky and the sword shadows overlapped, covering the sky and sun.

Everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty had seen the vision clearly at that time. There were ten suns in the sky that were being supported by the Green Lotus. The white sun soon appeared.

The entire cultivation world was discussing that matter.

Most of them were just making wild guesses that Gu Jianxian, the leader of the Itinerant Cultivators Alliance and the world’s best Sword Immortal, had proven the Dao and become a Supreme Sword Immortal.

All sword practitioners knew who Gu Jianxian was.

With the body of an itinerant cultivator, he suppressed the Sword Dao of the world and established the Itinerant Cultivators Alliance to become the great force of the world.

He was the only one in the cultivation world who could prove the Dao and become a supreme Sword Immortal, thus resulting in such a huge uproar.

However, a piece of news began to spread from the superiors of the Great Xia Dynasty, and rumor had it that it was spread from the powerhouse of the Great Xia Dynasty, Gu Jianxian.

It wasn’t that someone had become a Supreme Sword Immortal that day, but rather, Gu Jianxian’s master, Su Changyu of the Qingyun Dao Sect, had caused an uproar when he was killing an enemy at the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

The news caused a stir in the five dynasties, sects, and the Itinerant Cultivators Alliance.

No one expected the Sword Immortal, who had been suppressing the Sword Dao for 500 years, to have a mentor.

The stir was caused by his master when killing an enemy.

Everyone was astonished.

That was extremely terrifying.

Everyone remembered the Su Changyu of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

No one doubted the words of Gu Jianxian because with his arrogance, he didn’t have to lie at all, let alone make things up.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Supervisory.

“Su Changyu, Gu Jianxian’s master, who is also the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Eldest Senior Brother of the Qingyun Dao Sect, has taken the world by storm and slain a Mahayana realm cultivator with a simple strike of his sword.”

“How is that possible!?!”

A beautiful woman in her mid-twenties read the message in her hand with her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

The beautiful woman was Xiao Muxue.

As an upper echelon and the commander of the Heavenly Supervisory, it had been a long time since Xiao Muxue was that astonished.

She wasn’t that shocked even when she saw Ye Ping.

Who wouldn’t be dumbfounded to see a good-for-nothing, whom they had known for over two decades, suddenly becoming an expert?

If she hadn’t known him, nothing would seem wrong with the news that she had gotten.

She thought that something had gone wrong somewhere.

“What exactly is going on? Is the person who carries the supreme luck in the Qingyun Dao Sect, Su Changyu? How is that possible!?!”

“If Su Changyu is the Son of Destiny who carries great luck, what’s up with Ye Ping?”

“It’s impossible that there would be two people who carry supreme luck in such a tiny Qingyun Dao Sect. There will only be one such person in an era!”

Xiao Muxue frowned as she couldn’t figure it out at all.

The Heavenly Supervisory monitored the world on behalf of the heavens, and the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervisory was monitoring the normal operation of this world.

There were Yin and Yang in this world. When there was an excessive accumulation of Yin in this world, it would breed a fiend that destroyed the world.

When the Heavenly Supervisory detected signs of the fiend’s impending birth, they would look for a person with great fortune and luck to resist it.

More than two decades ago, the Heavenly Supervisory detected the signs of the birth of the fiend and began to deduce the location of the Son of Destiny.

Eventually, Xiao Muxue searched all the way to the Qingyun Dao Sect and deduced that the person with great luck would appear in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

At that time, she joined the Qingyun Dao Sect without collecting any salary and acknowledged Daoist Tai Hua as her teacher.

In the beginning, Xiao Muxue was not surprised to see Su Changyu and Xu Luochen.

Although they were both still young, their appearance and aura were obviously not that of ordinary people.

Xiao Muxue immediately suspected that one of them was the Son of Destiny who had great luck and fortune.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Muxue knew that she was wrong.

She was terribly wrong.

One of them had been practicing the Sword Dao since he was a child, but he hadn’t even learned the most basic Four Thunder Sword Technique. Not only did he have a poor aptitude, he liked pretending to be impressive too, thus making Xiao Muxue absolutely repulsed.

She didn’t know why he was that confident.

‘Someone like him is worthy of being the Son of Destiny too?’

Xiao Muxue was repulsed by Xu Luochen too.

He was also a wastrel like Su Changyu. Although he didn’t pretend to be impressive like Su Changyu, he wasn’t any better and to make things worse, he had terrible luck.

He would have unfortunate encounters all the time and the most absurd incident was when he was tricked into mining.

At that time, Xiao Muxue still had high hopes for a miracle to happen.

After all, those who had great luck would be able to overcome all ordeals when they encountered danger.

However, it turned out that Xiao Muxue was wrong.

Her very last hopes were dashed.

After Xu Luochen was tricked into mining, he actually mined for half a year and finally, Xiao Muxue couldn’t stand it any longer. She sent a message to Daoist Tai Hua to ask him to bring Xu Luochen back.

Otherwise, Xu Luochen might still be mining somewhere now.

‘How is this person the Son of Destiny?’

Xiao Muxue retched.

From then on, she couldn’t help but criticize Su Changyu and Xu Luochen whenever she saw them.

Immediately afterwards, Daoist Tai Hua continued to accept more disciples. Although they were not wastrels like the two of them, they were only mediocre.

That made Xiao Muxue wonder if she had deduced wrongly then.

Given Daoist Tai Hua’s strength and a sect like the Qingyun Dao Sect, it didn’t seem possible to have a Son of Destiny.

While Xiao Muxue was about to give up, Chen Lingrou arrived.

It was not that Chen Lingrou was the Son of Destiny, but rather, it was an outrageous fact that the Qingyun Dao Sect could accept such a supreme disciple.

Afterwards, Xiao Muxue thought about it and felt that Chen Lingrou was the only genius among the bunch of good-for-nothings.

The quality of Daoist Tai Hua’s disciples was getting better.

She thought that at this rate, getting a Son of Destiny wouldn’t be an issue.

Afterwards, Ye Ping arrived.

After she saw Ye Ping and his extraordinary performance, Xiao Muxue knew that he was the person she was looking for.

Yet, she was now told that Su Changyu, the person whom she had been treating as a good-for-nothing, was the Son of Destiny whom she was looking for. How could she believe it then?

“It seems like something had gone wrong in the King’s Territory.”

Xiao Muxue frowned and murmured.

She had initially arranged for Ye Ping to travel to the King’s Territory to compete for the inheritance of the Immortal Slayer King.

In the end, Ye Ping told her that the Immortal Slayer King had chosen Su Changyu to be his successor, but Xiao Muxue still didn’t believe it as she thought that something had gone wrong.

She thought that it was impossible that the Immortal Slayer King would choose a good-for-nothing like Su Changyu to be his successor.

It was recorded in the ancient records of the Heavenly Supervisory that the inheritance concerned the key to killing the fiends of the world.

As the carrier of great luck, Ye Ping would definitely obtain the inheritance due to destiny. She felt that there was definitely something wrong with the fact that Su Changyu was the chosen one. At that time she deliberately rushed back to check the ancient books and asked them to deduce what was going on.

However, she did not find out anything about this.

After combining all kinds of information, Xiao Muxue now felt that Su Changyu was the Son of Destiny whom she had been looking for.

After coming up with such a result, Xiao Muxue was somewhat unable to accept the reality.

She couldn’t help but imagine the scene of Su Changyu bragging and boasting after she told him about the Son of Destiny.

Xiao Muxue sighed and shook her head vigorously to forget about that scene.

“What exactly is going on?”

Xiao Muxue was full of bewilderment.

Even if Su Changyu was the Son of Destiny, he shouldn’t be able to become a Supreme Sword Immortal and slay a Mahayana realm cultivator.

Such an exaggerated thing wouldn’t happen even in novels.

Besides, if Su Changyu was the Son of Destiny, what was going on with Ye Ping?

“Whatever, I’ll find out what happened after I find them.”

Xiao Muxue got up to leave.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Fire Ancient City of Qingzhou.

“Brother Xu, there’s a Teleportation Array in the ancient city. You may use it to return to the Baiyun Ancient City later.”

A handsome man dressed in a starry robe said so.

“Brother Xinghe, thanks for everything along the way. If it wasn’t for you, I would have already died in that fire territory.”

Feeling touched, Xu Luochen thanked the young man in front of him.

Previously, he had been trapped in a fire, and towards the end, he finally heard some movements. He yelled loudly for help and someone finally came to help him.

It was the man in front of him who was called Ye Xinghe. He happened to be there with his Junior Brother and Junior Sister to check on a matter.

What made Xu Luochen the most touched was that Ye Xinghe even sent him to the Heavenly Fire Ancient City and informed him that he could use the array to go to the Baiyun Ancient City.

‘What a nice man.’

For so many years, Xu Luochen had never met such a nice man before.

“Hah, Brother Xu, you have the pill furnace to protect your body. Even if I didn’t come, the fire couldn’t have done anything to you.”

Ye Xinghe explained.

He was telling the truth. Xu Luochen’s pill furnace was indeed very extraordinary as it could completely protect Xu Luochen.

“Brother Xinghe, you must be joking. Even though I have the Phoenix Wing Immortal Furnace to protect me, I couldn’t have left the fire.”

“Besides, if it wasn’t for the fact that you protected me, I wouldn’t have been able to overcome the danger that I faced along the way, Brother Xinghe.”

Xu Luochen shook his head and said sincerely.

He was very grateful for the fact that Ye Xinghe sent him to the Heavenly Fire Ancient City.

“The matters that we encountered this time are all trivial. Luochen, is the Baiyun Ancient City far from here? Why don’t I send you there?”

Ye Xinghe said.

When he ran into Xu Luochen in the fire previously, he somehow subconsciously felt a sense of closeness.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so kind as to help Xu Luochen.

Not only did he save him, but he even offered to escort Xu Luochen all the way to the ancient city.

“Will it really work?”

Xu Luochen was overjoyed.

It was not that Xu Luochen didn’t know how to go there.

Xu Luochen was extremely confident in his sense of direction, especially the route to the Baiyun Ancient City. Even if he had his eyes closed, he wouldn’t get lost.

Su Changyu often took him down the mountain because he had a bad sense of direction and needed Xu Luochen to guide him.

The most important reason was that Xu Luochen was afraid of encountering some mishap along the way.

When he went out alone, he used to encounter all sorts of unlucky encounters and he would only be fine when he was with Su Changyu.

However, this time, Ye Xinghe encountered a lot of problems when he brought him from the fire to the Heavenly Fire Ancient City. It was truly unlucky.

Fortunately, Ye Xinghe had extraordinary strength and did not get harmed.

Xu Luochen couldn’t help but wonder if it had something to do with him.

If that was really the case, he would die.

Hence, he was glad that Ye Xinghe was willing to escort him.

“Okay then, let’s go grab something to eat before I send you back to your sect.”

Ye Xinghe said.

“Brother Xinghe, you’re such a kind person.”

Xu Luochen said gratefully.

However, Ye Xinghe shook his head and declined.

“Brother, you and I were fated to have met each other, don’t stand on ceremony with us.”

Ye Xinghe said.

Hearing those words, Xu Luochen was even more touched.

“Brother Xinghe, let me tell you something.”

Xu Luochen asked.

He wanted to come clean and tell Ye Xinghe about his speculations that many of their unlucky encounters previously could have been due to himself.

The reason being, he had encountered many unlucky things since he was young.

Otherwise, Xu Luochen would feel really bad if he hid things from Ye Xinghe who treated him like a brother.

He had indeed been the unluckiest he had ever been lately.

“Alright.”

Ye Xinghe smiled and nodded.

Afterwards…

Ye Xinghe fell silent after hearing Xu Luochen’s words.

Xu Luochen told him that the previous accidents he encountered from the fire to the Heavenly Fire Ancient City had something to do with him.

He had been unlucky ever since he was a child and things only got better after he spent time with Su Changyu.

During the journey previously, Ye Xinghe had also felt that he had encountered lots of unlucky events lately but he didn’t bother.

However, after hearing Xu Luochen’s words, he felt that there was indeed something wrong.

‘Wait…’

‘Unlucky!’

‘He’s been unlucky since he was a child!’

Ye Xinghe suddenly thought of a matter. He met an elder who had asked him to find his son.

He said that his son either had unparalleled luck or was extremely unlucky.

He couldn’t help but size up Xu Luochen.

The thing that Ye Xinghe felt was most strange was the sense of closeness he felt to Xu Luochen.

He didn’t think much of it at first

After all, Xu Luochen was indeed very handsome and had a refined Confucian aura to him, which made others develop a good impression of him.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Ye Xinghe realized that things were not as simple.

“Blood of the five sacred beasts!”

At this moment, Ye Xinghe suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He guessed that the sense of closeness he felt to Xu Luochen was because of his cultivation technique and the blood of the five sacred beasts.

In the beginning, the old man who asked him to find his son had said before that he injected his son, who died as a fetus, into the egg of a god and nourished it with the blood of the five sacred beasts so as to get a rebirth.

In this situation, it would seem rather normal for him to feel a sense of closeness to Xu Luochen.

‘Could it be that Xu Luochen is the person I’m looking for?’

Ye Xinghe was extremely agitated and he couldn’t help but speak up.

“Luochen, how old are you this year?”

Ye Xinghe asked.

“25 years old.”

Xu Luochen didn’t know what Ye Xinghe asked that question for, but he answered truthfully.

“25 years old.”

’25 years ago!’

‘Qingzhou!’

‘Unlucky since he was a child!’

Ye Xinghe was very agitated.

At this moment, he felt that Xu Luochen was the person he was looking for.

Just as he was about to activate that elder’s token, he calmed down.

Ye Xinghe suddenly thought of something. If Xu Luochen was not the person he was looking for, but he activated his treasure talisman…

The elder would definitely be infuriated and disappointed. He might just kill both Xu Luochen and Ye Xinghe.

He was an existence that could destroy the entire Supreme Demon Hall in a fit of anger.

“Luochen, I’ll take you somewhere.”

Ye Xinghe looked at Xu Luochen and said.
