Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Easily Broken, Hard to Sever the Flowing Water (Second Update)

This Zhan Hong Building’s contemporary true successor, ranked eighth on the “Ask the True List” and an exceptional powerhouse of the major sect in the Heavenly Sect, now appeared utterly devoid of any combat will, even her tone brimming with an intense sense of defeat.

This left Bai Qing’er and the others from Wandan City utterly astonished, unable to fathom why this was the case.

Only Xue An understood that all this was because the confidence and belief of this favored daughter of heaven had completely collapsed.

The path of the Sword Dao was always thus.

This sword cultivator, who had been enveloped by the halo of genius since childhood, found her path too smooth. Thus, after witnessing that earth-shattering sword strike just now, she began to harbor deep doubts about herself.

For a sword cultivator, such doubt is extremely fatal.

What’s more, Xue Liuli’s foundation was not very sturdy to begin with.

That’s why she was so listless, even nearly reaching the point where her sword heart was about to shatter.

Xue An said indifferently, “I just want to know, why do you so urgently want to possess this Lei Zun? You should know that for a sword cultivator, heaven-sent treasures don’t play a decisive role!”

After a moment of silence, Xue Liuli gave a bitter smile, “Telling you now doesn’t matter! I wanted to get this Lei Zun solely because, in three months, the treasury of the Great Dream Mountain that has lain dormant for a thousand years will reappear in the world! But the dangers within are numerous, and the power of the Thunder Spirit is required at the time of its opening, so I wanted to get this Lei Zun!”

Hearing Xue Liuli’s words, Bai Qing’er shuddered involuntarily, saying incredulously, “Great Dream Mountain? You mean the treasure left by the Great Dream Sword Master, who dominated the Guiyi realms and was unmatched five thousand years ago?”

Xue Liuli nodded her head, “This news has not yet spread, so only the core members of Blood Web Mountain and people from the three great Heavenly Sects know about it!”

Bai Qing’er’s face changed as she murmured to herself, “No wonder… lately the disciples of the Three Heavens Sect have started to appear frequently in major auction houses! So that’s why!”

Xue An, however, picked up on the name “Blood Web Mountain,” “In that case, will the people from Blood Web Mountain also go?”

Xue Liuli smiled bitterly, “Of course they will. In fact, Blood Web Mountain has long coveted the treasures left by the Great Dream Sword Master, and they must have been the first to learn of this news!”

Xue An nodded, “Fine then, in three months, I’ll go to this Great Dream Mountain with you to see just how impressive these people from Blood Web Mountain really are!”

Xue Liuli was taken aback, “You…”.

She clearly couldn’t understand why Xue An was so interested in Blood Web Mountain, and from the sound of it, he didn’t seem to want to kill her.

At that moment, Xue An turned away and said indifferently, “Do you know why your Sword Dao is so fragile?”

Xue Liuli looked confused.

“Because you have never truly grasped the essence of Sword Dao! Practicing the sword intent in your heart every day and cultivating in everything you do seems inspiring! But in the end, it only moves yourself!”

“Once the direction is wrong, the harder you work, the further you are from the true goal!”

Xue Liuli trembled violently, blurting out, “Then what is the true essence of the Sword Dao?”

Xue An smiled, “The sword is the blade of the heart! With countless hearts amongst people, there shall never be an absolute truth that works for every individual!”

“But for you, I only have eight words to give:

“Rigidness is easily broken, water flows unceasingly.”

Hearing these eight words, Xue Liuli suddenly became engrossed, mumbling to herself, “So that’s it, is this my Sword Dao?”

As she spoke, determination showed on her face, the previous despair swept away. She took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to Xue An, now walking away with An Yan, and said, “Thank you for the enlightenment! Liuli… has learned her lesson!”

At that moment, Xue An’s indifferent voice came over, “In three months, find me in Wandan City of the Central Region!”

“Yes!”

Xue An left.

Xue Liuli also muttered obsessively to herself and departed.

Leaving only Bai Qing’er standing there alone.

After a long while, she clenched her teeth, “Today’s events are no small matter, I must immediately return to the headquarters of the Central Region’s meeting and report all these matters!”

With that, she didn’t even enter Profound Thunder City, and flew directly toward the Central Region.

Meanwhile.

In the heart of the Central Region, there was a land of immense wealth.

A vast estate, covering ten thousand acres, stood imposingly there.

The ground was paved with polished jade stones that shone like mirrors, and even the surrounding walls were constructed from discarded Immortal Crystals.

Extravagances like these needed no mention.

This was the ancestral home of the Lu Family from the Three Heavens Sect.

At this moment.

Inside the study of the ancestral residence, Lu Lie, the Family Head of the Three Heavens Sect’s Lu Family, was busily tending to affairs.

Suddenly.

He felt the entire ancestral residence tremble, and then the abundant spiritual fortune that lingered above it began to dissipate rapidly.

This discovery left him both shocked and furious, “What’s happening?”

Lu Lie roared as he flew out of the study and soared into the sky.

At the same time, a dazzling array of lights flashed within the Lu Family estate, and countless experts took flight, densely filling most of the sky.

“Family Head, what’s wrong?” asked a close family retainer.

Lu Lie’s face was ashen, “The spiritual fortune is fading, could it be that there’s trouble at the ancestral land?”

With that, he soared towards the ancestral land, located about a hundred li to the east of the estate.

For a powerhouse like him, a hundred li was but a moment’s effort.

Yet upon arriving, he saw that the once picturesque and spiritually abundant ancestral land was now a mess of devastation.

It was as if it had suffered a massive quake. The ground was covered in fresh blood and corpses, all of which were the guardians of the ancestral land.

Upon seeing this, Lu Lie felt so enraged that he nearly blacked out, and a mouthful of fresh blood almost sprayed forth.

This was the sacred resting place of the Lu ancestors!

Moreover, it was tied to the very survival of the entire Three Heavens Sect’s Lu Family.

And yet, it had been reduced to this state.

As the Family Head, how could he not feel both anger and sorrow?

“What has happened here?” Lu Lie was close to losing his mind with fury.

At that moment, one of the guardians who had miraculously survived the recent calamity knelt trembling on the ground.

“Family Head, everything was normal today, but suddenly, it seemed as if something enraged the ancestor who awoke from his slumber and departed into the distance. Not long after, this ancestral land began to tremble violently. The power was so formidable that most of us guarding here were killed or injured instantly! Family Head, please discern the truth!”

Lu Lie snorted coldly, hardly caring about the truth or fairness of the matter, and with a wave of his hand, he crushed the head of the guardian and shattered his Divine Sense, extracting the images of recent events.

Indeed.

Everything was exactly as the man had described.

Lu Lie’s eyelids started to twitch uncontrollably.

The enraged departure of the Lu Family ancestor surely meant he had been provoked by something, and since he had not returned and the ancestral land was destroyed, it could only mean one thing.

The ancestor of the Lu Family had been annihilated.

Who could it be, to possess such heaven-defying means to slay the soul of the Lu Family ancestor?

But no matter what, such an act of annihilating an ancestor was a vengeance that the Three Heavens Sect’s Lu Family must exact!

Thus, he spoke gravely, “Investigate this matter immediately, we must find the person who destroyed our Lu Family’s ancestral land!”

“Yes!”
