Chapter 24 The True Heart!


Everyone on the deck of the Cloud s.h.i.+p suddenly quieted down.


The old man in the gray robe was silent. His expression was collected, and no one could figure out whether he was angry or happy.


Of course, he felt burning anger in his heart. The Drunken Fairy Building had never experienced such treatment. Although he was angry, he didn’t dare to lash out.


A Sword G.o.d!


The mysterious woman was very likely to be a Sword G.o.d. If she was a Sword G.o.d, then the Drunken Fairy Building couldn’t provoke her.


If the Drunken Fairy Building concentrated all their available forces, it could evenly match with a Sword G.o.d. But it was only an even match. Who knew whether the Sword G.o.d had any friends or not? Or, did she know some great forces?


Even if she had no friends or powers behind her, she alone was enough to crumble the Drunken Fairy Building!


A Sword G.o.d!


How horrible could this person’s fighting capacity be?


Except for the Tao Guardian of the Universe, the toughest people in the world who must not be offended would be Sword Cultivators! The toughest of all would be the Sword Cultivator Tao Guardian.


Therefore, even if what the mysterious woman said embarra.s.sed him greatly, the old man in the gray robe did not dare to say anything.


One must know that Sword Cultivators were really weird. If he said one more word, he might die here today!


The old man in the gray robe retracted his thoughts. He glanced at Ye Xuan. Obviously, the mysterious woman stopped mostly because of the teenager before him.


Sword Cultivators always came and went freely. But once they had disciples, they were no longer alone.


A disciple of a Sword G.o.d!


The old man in the gray robe looked quite complicated. They should have tried their utmost to cozy up to such a person, but look at what they had brought things to!


Thinking about this, the old man in the gray robe walked up to Ye Xuan. He peered at Ye Xuan, then he bent his finger and clicked. A purple card fell in front of Ye Xuan. “Little friend, the thing between you and the Drunken Fairy Building is over. This is the VIP card of the Drunken Fairy Building. Please accept it, my little friend.”


At one side, Han Xiangmeng explained speedily, “This is the Purple Card. With this card, you can get 50% off if you buy things from the Drunken Fairy Building in the future. In addition, the Drunken Fairy Building won’t take any service charge if you sell anything in the Drunken Fairy Building. Besides, this card has many other benefits. Childe Ye will know it later.”


Naturally, Ye Xuan did not refuse. He took the Purple Card, and then cupped his fists, “I’ll go to get some rest. So long.”


After that, he pulled Ye Ling together with him and turned away.


When Ye Xuan and his sister left, Han Xiangmeng and the old man next to her slowly knelt down.


The old man in the gray robe slowly closed his eyes. “Your grandfather used to be one of my men. Of course, I didn’t take him as a subordinate. I considered him as my brother. You are his granddaughter, so you are sort of my granddaughter.”


Han Xiangmeng slightly bowed her head and did not dare to speak.


The old man in the gray robe shook his head. “I won’t kill you because you are his only remaining descendant. However, you should stay out of the affairs of the Drunken Fairy Building for the time being. Go back to the Imperial Capital and take a good look at yourself.”


Hearing his words, the face of Han Xiangmeng immediately became dreadfully pale.


Her years of hard work came to nothing now!


The old man in the gray robe glanced at the big river below, and his right hand slowly gripped. “A Sword G.o.d… I never thought that I could see a Sword G.o.d in my life, but for it to be in this way…”


After that, he turned and disappeared into the sky.


On the deck of the Cloud s.h.i.+p, Han Xiangmeng smiled forlornly. “Was I wrong?”


Next to Han Xiangmeng, the old man said in a low tone, “Miss, things change. Don’t blame yourself too much.”


Han Xiangmeng shook her head. “If I sincerely made friends with him, it would be an easy thing for me to become a core leader of the Drunken Fairy Building in the future, with his help and the people behind him… Unfortunately, I was so calculative that I missed the chance to change the destiny of me and my family!”


The old man bowed his head slightly and did not speak.


Han Xiangmeng stood up and she glanced at the horizon. “Well, I will just take it as a lesson learned today.”


After that, she turned and left.


Ye Xuan returned to his room with his sister Ye Ling. This time, it was an ordinary room, because the siblings didn’t want to live in a top grade room anymore!


In the room, after Ye Xuan coaxed Ye Ling to sleep, he entered the Prison World Tower. When he entered the Prison World Tower, he found that something was wrong there!


He found that the second layer had moved a bit!


When he noticed this scene, Ye Xuan’s face suddenly changed. Before he spoke, the mysterious woman’s voice rang again. “Has your anger calmed down?”


Ye Xuan saluted deeply, “Thank you for saving me, predecessor!”


The mysterious woman said coldly, “Saved you? Do you know why I came out to save you?”


Ye Xuan shook his head.


The mysterious woman said, “Do you still remember the sentence that I asked you earlier? I asked you if you knew the consequences of the sword strike.”


Ye Xuan nodded.


The mysterious woman said, “If you didn’t launch that sword strike at that time, I wouldn’t come out to fight today!”


Ye Xuan was startled. He felt somewhat puzzled. “Why? But if I didn’t strike my sword, things would probably quiet down.”


“Hum!”


The mysterious woman said coldly, “Quiet down? People can be tactful, which is certainly nothing wrong. But if a person’s closest relative is treated like this, what consequences will the person need to consider? What qualifies this kind of person to hold a sword? What’s more, if you didn’t strike that sword and held your anger back, your heart of the Tao of the Sword would break to pieces. Then you will have no chance to become a powerful Sword Cultivator in this life.”


“The Tao of the Sword would break to pieces? Why?” Ye Xuan was somewhat puzzled.


The mysterious woman said, “Sword Cultivators are cultivators who cultivate both their swords and their hearts. Only the true heart is the right heart for cultivation. At that moment, you wanted justice for your sister so you were going to kill them. However, if you had considered the possible consequences and you chose to quiet down this matter diplomatically, you would go against your true heart. Of course, you might not feel any effect by doing this, but your sword would be fettered by yourself, and the Clear Sword Heart you just achieved would dissipate right at that moment.”


Ye Xuan smiled bitterly. “Predecessor, if Sword Cultivators are all as rigid as this, I am afraid that they can’t live long!”


The mysterious woman whispered, “That’s why there are so few Sword Cultivators in this world, especially real Sword G.o.ds, which are much fewer! This is what I have told you, the way of the Tao of the Sword is much more difficult than you think!”


Ye Xuan took a deep breath and now he could feel a little of that.


At this time, the mysterious woman said again, “I was not supposed to strike. Do you know the consequences of this strike?”


“Consequences?”


Ye Xuan was stunned a little and he asked subconsciously, “What are the consequences?”


The mysterious woman said, “I told you before that the seals of this tower are loosening. Because of my strike this time, the seal of each layer has been affected. In simple terms, those seals will be unlocked in advance. To be more specific, the seal of the second floor will be unlocked in advance, and will disappear completely in four to five months at most. If you can’t find the Rule for the Tao, you will die. Don’t count on me, because if I help you deal with the one in the second layer, all seals of this tower will become loose. The consequences will be very serious at that time. Also, I will not break the seal of this tower because of you. Do you understand?”


Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then asked, “You can’t go out now?”


The mysterious woman answered, “I can’t strike more or even go out once more until you have found at least one Rule for the Tao. Of course, even if I can, I won’t make my move. To be frank, I helped you out because you dared to draw your sword to seek justice for your sister, and also because I disliked that person. You understand?”


Ye Xuan nodded. “I understand.”


He was very clear that people must rely on themselves. He was also very clear that just because people helped him once doesn’t mean that they will help him again, and he was also not qualified to let others help him a second time!


It was already a great kindness for her to help him this time!


Ye Xuan was not an ungrateful person. He did not think that she should help him nor would he ask for her help every time he had trouble in the future!


Becoming a strong person by himself was the kingly way.


Therefore, he didn’t have any mental dependence. On the contrary, the words the mysterious woman said made him understand that everything should be done by himself! It was unrealistic and stupid to pin your hopes on others!


Only the problem about the seals… The Rule for the Tao, if he needed to find the Rule for the Tao, he must achieve the Qi Harnessing Realm or even the Ascending Realm as soon as possible. Because the mysterious woman said that he still didn’t have enough strength now to subdue the Rule for the Tao!


It was a troublesome thing!


Ye Xuan shook his head and sighed. He had to face a lot of things now. The first thing was his sister’s illness, the next was the seals of the Prison World Tower.


He had already felt that the Prison World Tower was a little abnormal, and he felt the dignity in the voice of the mysterious woman more. He knew that the mysterious woman was not joking with him. She would never fight for him if the seal was loose!


This thing must be solved by himself!


Seemingly thinking of something, Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Predecessor, what is the Clear Sword Heart?”


He did not forget the extremely mysterious and abstruse state he had entered before.


There was silence for a while, and the mysterious woman said, “The Clear Sword Heart is like the feeling you have when you look into the mirror. You usually don’t know what you look like until you see yourself in the mirror. The Clear Sword Heart is also like this. Now you are very clear about your direction of the Tao of the Sword. You know better about what your Tao of the Sword looks like. Simply put, when you recognize yourself clearly, you will know your Tao of the Sword!”


Ye Xuan asked in a deep voice, “Is it useful?”


The mysterious woman said, “You seem to have forgotten one thing. You wielded ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’, but this time, your body didn’t seem to suffer from too many side effects!”


Hearing this, Ye Xuan was suddenly stunned!


“Exactly!”


He had wielded ‘One Sword Strike Decides Life and Death’, but now his body was not as miserable as before, and he just felt a little worn out!


The mysterious woman’s voice sounded again. “The Clear Sword Heart is a state of mind of the Tao of the Sword. When you fight against your enemy in the future, all false appearances and illusions will not work on you. Of course, if the enemy’s strength exceeds you by too much, it will be a different matter. In addition, if your heart is clear, you will have a higher degree of integration with the sword. Thus twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort when you use your sword skills and sword moves… I’m tired. I don’t want to explain these simple things to you. You will know these things when you practice with the shadow!”


Ye Xuan, “…”


After a while, Ye Xuan started to look for the shadow to practice.


When he displayed his first sword strike, he was shocked.


Because the feeling was really different. Not only that, but when the shadow threw its first sword strike, he once again was shocked because this time the feeling was also different. He could not explain this feeling. If he must say it out, his feeling was that he felt that his sword strike had become so simple…


After half an hour, Ye Xuan stopped.


A long sword was inserted into the chest of the shadow before him!


In a flash, the shadow slowly dissipated.


Ye Xuan slightly lowered his head, and he was silent.


After a while, he put away the Ling Xiao Sword. Looking at the Ling Xiao Sword in his hand, he remained silent for a long time, then he whispered softly, “Now I feel that this sword really belongs to me….”
