Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 212: Chapter 152: The 6 Celestial Lords (2)

"All I know is that this seal is made from a special kind of jade, one that can store an unlimited amount of the energy generated by our cultivation system."

"Unlimited?"

Su Xing immediately understood.

’This jade must have stored the energy of countless generations to be so vast and boundless.’

But...

’If he could absorb this energy, or use it in battle, wouldn’t his uncle possess the power of several generations all at once?’

"Heh."

"It’s not what you think, Su Xing."

"This seal does indeed store the energy of many, many generations. I have the right to store energy in it or take it out, but I generally don’t use the energy inside."

"Why?"

Su Xing asked, confused.

"Because, ultimately, I am not one of them."

"Using this seal comes at a great cost for me."

His uncle said regretfully, "Besides, I also promised that senior that I could use the energy inside to cultivate, but in the future, I must find a suitable person to pass this system down to."

"Therefore, this jade is ultimately not mine."

"What do you mean?"

Su Xing asked, still confused:

"That Tomb Guardian told you to find someone to pass the cultivation system down to, but isn’t the Celestial Human Tomb full of people who cultivate this way?"

"..."

"I’m a little confused about that myself."

"But he only told me that the people in the Celestial Human Tomb were all imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao. He said they cannot inherit the future of their clan, and that there should still be clan members in the mortal world who weren’t captured," his uncle explained.

"Imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao?"

"So the Celestial Human Tomb isn’t a tomb... it’s a prison?"

Su Xing exclaimed.

After the initial shock, Su Xing quickly collected his thoughts, summarized the situation, and asked:

"So, simply put, that Lord Yin wants you to find an unimprisoned clan member in the mortal world and give them this cultivation system and the seal."

"Until then, you can freely use this seal to cultivate."

"Right?"

"That’s more or less it."

His uncle nodded.

"Then what did you mean before when you said, ’ultimately, I am not one of them’? Is there some fundamental difference between them and ordinary people?" Su Xing asked.

"I think so, but I’m not entirely sure what the difference is," his uncle said, hesitating.

"Because whenever I absorb energy from the seal, I get this stifling sensation. It’s fine if I cultivate with a little at a time, but if I draw on too much power, my body is the first to give out."

"But..."

"According to that old man, as long as it’s one of their clan members, this seal will naturally recognize them as its master, and from then on, they’ll be able to control the power inside as they please."

"I don’t have that ability."

"..."

Su Xing was silent for a moment.

He was thinking about the man who called himself Lord Yin.

’Is he one of the clan?’

’Does he have a seal, too?’

’If he does...’

’Then his power would be truly unfathomable.’

As if he had read Su Xing’s mind, his uncle gave a faint smile and said,

"Are you thinking about that Lord Yin?"

"Yeah."

Su Xing’s voice was subdued.

"Don’t worry. Although I don’t know how strong he is, I can be certain that he doesn’t have one of these seals."

"Because there are only six seals, symbolizing the six most powerful experts of their clan. Except for Lord Yin, who gave his seal to me because his time was up, the other seal holders are all still in the Celestial Human Tomb."

"They probably haven’t even woken up yet, let alone given their seals to anyone else."

"I suspect he might have obtained a part of Lord Yin’s legacy somewhere and has been calling himself Lord Yin ever since," his uncle speculated.

"Indeed."

Su Xing nodded.

After hearing his uncle’s words, the tension in Su Xing’s heart eased a little, but he still took that Lord Yin extremely seriously. From any angle, he was a more intimidating foe than the Spirit Lord.

’There were still many unanswered questions about this.’

’For instance, what exactly happened when the Heavenly Dao imprisoned them? Was it related to the fact that their energy can upgrade other Extraordinary systems?’

’And most importantly,’

’they were imprisoned in the Celestial Human Tomb back then,’

’so why were they getting a chance to escape now?’

’What did they plan to do once they were out?’

Su Xing gave his head a hard shake to clear it of these complex thoughts. He turned to his uncle and asked,

"Uncle."

"Do you know..."

"what the other four Monarchs are called?"

"Celestial Monarch, Lord Cheng, Sick Monarch, Death Monarch, as well as Lord Yin and Lord Yin, with Celestial Monarch as their leader."

...

"The Six Celestial Monarchs..."

Li Yu stood before the collapsed, abandoned building, muttering something under his breath.

After Su Xing left, the abandoned building, which had already taken a beating, finally collapsed.

This drew a crowd of curious onlookers, but the police who arrived on the scene cordoned off the area, preventing them from disturbing Li Yu and Bailan’s investigation.

"Li Yu."

"What are these ’Six Celestial Monarchs’ you mentioned?"

Standing beside Li Yu, Bailan asked curiously when she heard him muttering.

"It’s hard to say," Li Yu replied instinctively.

After a moment, he spoke again: "I didn’t expect to find this kind of energy here."

"Has it appeared before?" Bailan asked, puzzled.

She’d been with the special organization for a long time. Thanks to the convenience of her Sequence, she was almost always assigned to the cleanup crew for investigations, but she had never sensed this kind of energy before.

Bailan was certain,

this was the first time she had ever encountered this energy.

"..."

Li Yu hesitated for a moment before saying,

"It has never appeared in the mortal world, but it has appeared in the records of the Martial God Hall."

"The records of the Martial God Hall?"

Bailan froze.

Wars have their spoils as well as their costs.

Countless Sequencers had died in the war against the Martial God Hall, but the pressure of that conflict also forged some exceptionally powerful individuals.

These powerhouses led the special organization to numerous victories, and these records were part of the spoils from one of those campaigns.

It was just that the records were too obscure; no one but people like Li Yu would ever bother to dig through such ancient tomes.

"Yes."

"The Martial God Hall recorded this type of energy."

"Furthermore, this energy seems remarkably similar to the old blessings of the Spiritual Sect."

"Blessings?"

Hearing Li Yu’s words, it suddenly clicked for Bailan. She quickly added,

"You’re right, it is similar."

"It just seems... purer than the Spiritual Sect’s blessings. No wonder we never found any trace of it before."

"Indeed."

Li Yu nodded.

He’d never imagined that the Spiritual Sect’s blessings could be connected to the records of the Martial God Hall. It was only now, seeing the pure energy signature, that the connection finally clicked for him.

"So..."

"What did the Martial God Hall records say?"

"..."

Li Yu didn’t answer, gazing at the sky as if lost in thought.

After a long while,

he finally said quietly, "Let’s go. I need to see my father."

"Okay..."

Bailan nodded.

She said nothing more, simply turning to leave and bring the car around for Li Yu.

She was efficient. Within minutes, a car pulled up nearby.

Li Yu got in the car and said coolly, "The Martial God Hall’s records are unclear on the details. The only thing we know for sure is that this energy shouldn’t have appeared."

"What do you mean?" Bailan asked, not quite understanding.

With the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, she didn’t think it was strange for a new Extraordinary system to suddenly emerge. After all, the four current systems had been discovered and refined over time.

"It’s different. Before the Spiritual Qi vanished, the other four Extraordinary systems appeared intermittently throughout history."

"But..."

"This energy hasn’t appeared for several thousand years."
