I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

197: Why should my Shen family, a young clan, need your protection?”What’s wrong?”

At this moment, Yue Chan Sword Immortal stared blankly at the scene before her, and her Senior Sister’s puzzled voice echoed in her mind.

”Senior... Senior Sister, Young Clan Master Shen just comprehended the transcribed version of the Great Evolution Third Sword, and it only took him a few breaths...”

When she replied in her heart, she felt somewhat sluggish; the words themselves were simply unbelievable.

Looking back since the founding of the entire Great Evolution Sword Sect, such an outrageous thing had never occurred. The record holder for the fastest comprehension of the Great Evolution Third Sword was none other than the current Sect Master of the Great Evolution Sword Sect, and even she had taken a full three days!

That was already a terrifying speed, but compared to him...

On the other end of the telepathic transmission, a woman with cyan hair fell silent for a moment.

The next second.

Her Incarnation slowly materialized in front of Yue Chan Sword Immortal.

”Senior Sister!” Yue Chan Sword Immortal bowed hurriedly upon seeing the figure, her eyes filled with shock. Her Senior Sister had been in seclusion for many years to comprehend the Nine Swords, and this was the first time her Incarnation had appeared in a century.

When this figure appeared, the entire sky seemed to freeze, and the passage of time slowed down.

”Great Evolution Sect Master, Jun Ruyan!” Slaughter Three Wakes revealed a solemn expression upon seeing this figure.

Even Sword Maniac displayed a rare look of respect, because the person who had arrived was truly a member of the Human Race’s top echelon.

Currently, the Peak Realm of the Human Race is Hedao. In the absence of Immortals, Hedao is considered invincible, but there are gaps even within Hedao. This relates to one’s dao palace and the Dao one walks; thus, there are several dividing lines in Hedao. Ordinary Hedao can contend with the Yao Emperors, like Yue Chan Sword Immortal; while not many in the Five Regions of the Human Race, they are not too few either, numbering at least a hundred if counted fully.

Further up is Peerless Dao Integration. Those at this level already possess the powerful strength to kill Yao Emperors, and can even fight multiple opponents at once. Having been immersed in the Hedao Realm for many years and having comprehended a trace of the opportunity for the Immortal Realm, ordinary Hedao are simply no match for them. The current Great Evolution Sword Sect Master is one such person.

They are rare existences within the entire Human Race.

There is another type: Peak Hedao. These individuals can attain the Dao and achieve Immortal Ascension at any time; their Dao comprehension is complete. Were it not for the restrictions of this world, they could ascend at any moment. The strongest of the four Ancient Desolate Families, Old Man Tianji of the Human Emperor Hall, and Mr. Qi of Lushan Academy are all at this level. They are the strongest power of the Human Race, with each representing the limit of the mortal Realm.

However, such Hedao are simply too few; throughout the long history of the Human Race resisting the Yao Race, there have been only a few in each era.

Shen Nian also looked toward this suddenly appeared figure. He could not see her face, as her entire body was obscured by a kind of Dao light. Merely standing there, she gave Shen Nian a feeling of being transcendent and refined.

Even if Shen Nian exhausted all his trump cards, he understood that he could never be this woman’s opponent.

The difference in their Realm was simply too vast.

However, Shen Nian did not have the slightest bit of fear. In the Shen Family, let alone Peerless Dao Integration, even if a Peak Hedao came, they would still have to be polite to him.

”As expected of the Shen Family’s Young Master of this generation; truly a Prodigy.” Jun Ruyan glanced at the multicolored Sword Qi radiating from Shen Nian’s body, verifying the truth of the matter, while a sense of shock emerged in her heart.

To be able to comprehend it in just a few breaths...

Then, is it truly possible for him to accomplish the feat that no one but the Old Ancestor has achieved, comprehending the Nine Swords...

Thinking of this, Jun Ruyan became somewhat excited.

”Sect Master Jun is too kind. I am more concerned about when the Nine Swords will be given to me...” Shen Nian spoke softly, his expression indifferent.

”Young Clan Master Shen worries too much. Since it was the Great Evolution Sword Sect that was impolite first, and my Junior Sister personally promised the matter of the Nine Swords, we naturally will not go back on our word.” Jun Ruyan smiled as she spoke, with strange phenomena surging behind her as she conversed.

After speaking, Jun Ruyan added: ”However, Young Clan Master Shen might not know that the Nine Swords are not a Cultivation Technique or Divine Ability, but nine Dragon-Slaying Platforms left behind by the Old Ancestor. To truly comprehend the Great Evolution Nine Swords, one must enter our Great Evolution Sword Ruins to comprehend the Dragon-Slaying Platforms. Otherwise, even if I were to transcribe them, they would not contain the true intent of the Nine Swords...”

Once these words were spoken, Yue Chan Sword Immortal looked at Jun Ruyan’s back in disbelief.

”Senior Sister...”

”Are you really serious...”

”You really want to give it to him?”

Then she heard Jun Ruyan’s voice continue.

”To enter the Sword Ruins, one can only pass through the Great Evolution Mountain Ancient Formation. This formation was left by our Ancestor and only opens once a year. Young Clan Master Shen is lucky; in seven days, it will be the day the Sword Ruins open. Young Clan Master Shen can come to our Great Evolution Sword Sect, and I will personally open the ruins for you...”

Hearing this, Shen Nian was lost in thought, seemingly judging the truth of the matter.

”Jun Ruyan would not stoop to lying to you; what she said is true...” Shen Min’s voice echoed in his mind.

”Very well, I will come to the Great Evolution Sword Sect in seven days,” Shen Nian nodded and said.

Jun Ruyan smiled slightly, then looked up at the sky and spoke while wrapped in Dao sound: ”Brother Shen, if I am willing to be his Dao Protector, can you let the Young Clan Master join our Great Evolution Sword Sect?”

”Heh, you’re daydreaming.”

”Why would my Shen Family’s Young Master need you to protect his Dao?”

Facing this mockery, Jun Ruyan did not feel the slightest bit angry; a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she clearly had not given up in her heart.

Immediately after, Jun Ruyan left a jade token of the Great Evolution Sword Sect for Shen Nian, then took Yue Chan Sword Immortal and departed, having agreed to meet at the Great Evolution Sword Sect in seven days.

The remaining Slaughter Three Wakes and Sword Maniac looked at each other, both seeing the awkwardness in the other’s eyes.

”Sigh, I was truly blind in the past to have missed such an opportunity...” Slaughter Three Wakes was filled with regret; endless remorse surged in his heart. If he had recognized Shen Nian’s Sword Dao talent back then, he would have found a way to have him teach him a few moves. Although he dared not think of being his master, being half a teacher would have been possible. Now, it was too late...

Sword Maniac shook his head and said, ”There is nothing to regret; you and I cannot teach him...”

Slaughter Three Wakes nodded noncommittally and said, ”Indeed, with this Sword Dao Comprehension Ability, what need is there for anyone to teach him...”

As he spoke, he could not help but glance at the Woman in White Robes nearby.

Thinking about it, the Sect where this Woman in White Robes belonged was likely the place where Shen Nian stayed in the Lower Realm...

He could not help but be curious about what kind of background this Heavenly Sword Sect had...

After Shen Nian put away the jade token, he glanced at Jiang Churan and said softly, ”Follow me.”

Jiang Churan was stunned for a moment, but still got up and followed.

After the two disappeared, the clan elders who were secretly watching everything withdrew their gazes, their eyes filled with a trace of shock.

The young figure in the distant star pavilion also vanished from the spot...

Meanwhile.

The Ancient Desolate Family, the Ji Family.

Several terrifying phantom figures stood tall, radiating the aura of Hedao. A full eight Hedao experts were discussing here, all of them Ji Family elders.

”Good, good, good!”

”I knew it! Shen Min isn’t senile; how could he let a descendant with mediocre talent be the Young Clan Leader? Look, Shen Nian is already at the Void Return First Layer!!”

”And this is without the Shen Family’s resources in the Lower Realm, without practicing Imperial Scriptures, and without the baptism of the Ancestral Land!” One Ji Family Old Ancestor pointed his finger, manifesting the scene of Shen Nian instantly killing a Divided Soul of Wang Teng, laughing from ear to ear.

”Hahaha, that’s good then. The only misgiving in our hearts is gone. Although it’s still a little bit lacking, it’s already quite good. With the pouring of the Shen Family’s resources, reaching Hedao won’t be difficult!”

”By the way, Shen Nian is back; should we go and visit?”

”Ahem, why should we old bones go? Let Chenyu go...”

”By the way, how is Chenyu doing in the Ancestral Land? After absorbing for so many days, it stands to reason that her dao palace should have been forged by now...”

”Sigh, this girl has a stubborn temper. She was already at the Peak of the Void Return Second Layer and had absorbed to the limit, but she insists on stepping into the third layer before she’s willing to come out...”

”Ah, this... you didn’t even try to stop her...”
