The receiving disciple felt even more embarrassed but dared not say anything. He could only explain to the two, “This is Jing-laozu of Frostcloud Sect. He wants to find someone to forge a sword.”
Elder Lu was taken aback and quickly greeted, “Jing-laozu, this sword is not appropriate. It will suck your spiritual energy away.”
The old man also bowed but retorted, “It has not unlocked the seal yet. With five spiritual roots…”
Elder Lu glared at him and the old man stopped talking.
Jing Yue said dismissively, “Xiao Hei, go and give it a try.”
“Yes!” Xiao Hei stepped up quickly and looked at the old man eagerly.
The old man's expression was hesitant when he heard Xiao Hei say, “I’m five-element spiritual roots.”
The old man was startled, then overjoyed, and directly stuffed the sword into Xiao Hei's arms.
The sword looked very heavy, and even the old man had to embrace it with both hands, but Xiao Hei felt that the sword was a natural fit for him and it was just right in his hand.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in his body surged frantically to his hands before pouring into the sword body. A dragon’s roar was heard and the black sword flashed with a red light. A thin line of blood appeared in the middle of the sword as if it was flowing.
At that moment, Xiao Hei felt that the spiritual energy that had just been sucked away returning to him, and even carried a trace of the sword’s sharpness.
“It’s broken! The seal is broken!” The old man was so excited that he danced around and even saluted Xiao Hei, shocking the dazed Xiao Hei into taking a few steps back.
Jing Yue laughed to himself before asking, “What is the sword called?”
Facing Jing Yue, the old man forced himself to be calm. “It doesn’t have a name yet, waiting for the destined person.”
With that said, he looked at Xiao Hei expectantly. Xiao Hei was startled when a name floated in his mind and he said subconsciously, “Taihao.”
Jing Yue’s eyes flickered. Taihao was the name of Yi Nian’s natal sword, but unfortunately, it was destroyed before it formed a sword soul.
The old man laughed. “Taihao! What a good name! Hahaha!” Uh, why does it sound so familiar? Who cares!
Jing Yue, “…”
Elder Lu looked constipated and thought to himself, ‘So what if the seal is broken? So what if it’s given a name? It can only be used by a useless five spiritual root.’
But then he heard Jing Yue say, “May I know your name?”
Old man, “Jing-laozu is too polite. My name is Shen Qiu.”
Jing Yue, “I’d like to ask you to refine a sword for me.”
Old man, “Huh?”
Elder Lu: ???
He was anxious all of a sudden. If Shen Qiu really refined a sword for Jing Yue, his swordsmith ranking would immediately be promoted to an expert level. Because of Jing Yue's special status, only expert swordsmiths would be worthy of it. They could not let outsiders find out that Six Chasm Pavilion allowed an advanced swordsmith to refine a sword for the patriarch of Frostcloud Sect, right? Even if this person was Jing Yue's choice, it would also lead to many criticisms and misunderstandings.
If that was the case, what he said just now that Shen Qiu could never hope to be promoted, wasn’t that a slap to his face?
Besides, with Shen Qiu’s standards, if he rendered Jing Yue’s treasured sword into a piece of scrap, wouldn’t that ruin Six Chasm Pavilion’s reputation?
Elder Lu, “Jing-laozu, please think twice!”
Jing Yue, “I’ve thought trice.”
Elder Lu, “…”
Seeing that Shen Qiu was also full of disbelief, Jing Yue explained, “Taihao is made of ordinary materials, but it has reached the level of a spiritual sword, which shows the ability of the swordsmith. You have spent ten years forging a sword, which shows your perseverance and state of mind. Most importantly, my mini Canglan sword likes you.”
A person who truly loved swords had a special temperament and the sword would also feel it.
Shen Qiu was immediately moved and looked as if he had found a soulmate. He dared not pull Jing Yue but only said, “Let’s go! We’ll forge the sword right away!”
Elder Lu watched as several people went to the earth fire chamber. He exchanged a glance with the receiving disciple and both shook their heads helplessly.
The sect leader of Six Chasm Pavilion soon heard about this. He was not as worried as Elder Lu but said instead, “With Jing-laozu’s foresight, the fact that he selected Shen Qiu proves that he does have this ability and is worthy to become an expert swordsmith.”
Elder Lu had mixed feelings. On one hand, he hoped that Shen Qiu would fail to forge the sword and prove that his judgment was correct. On the other hand, he hoped that Shen Qiu would succeed and not offend Jing-laozu.
His anxiety lasted until the late afternoon of the seventh day. On this day, the roof tiles of a certain earth fire room suddenly cracked. A burst of sword light knocked a big hole in the roof before soaring straight to the sky.
In the main hall of the Six Chasm Pavilion, the sect leader smiled and said, “It’s done.”
In another room, Elder Lu’s expression was unfathomable as he muttered, “It actually succeeded.”
At this time, the earth fire room, mini Canglan sword spun around Jing Yue and Shen Qiu spiritedly. Now and then, it also teased blue phoenix, poking it and running away, waiting for blue phoenix to chase after it.
Unfortunately, the blue phoenix ignored it, shook out its wings, and said inwardly, ‘Idiot.’
Xiao Hei sat alone in the corner and looked at mini Canglan sword enviously. On his lap, Taihao noticed it and trembled in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Hei smiled and stroked it as he whispered, “I know, I have you. I just want to use the best materials to forge you in the future too.”
Only then was Taihao satisfied and obediently remained still.
“Mini Canglan, come here,” Jing Yue shouted, stopping mini Canglan’s annoying behavior.
He looked at the mini Canglan sword that stopped at his side and said to Shen Qiu, “Mister, you have worked hard.”
Shen Qiu waved his hand repeatedly. “It’s no trouble. I’m just assisting you. Besides, being able to participate in refining such a sword is something I can’t hope to ask for.”
He thought for a while and added, “This sword is extraordinary. If you want to continue to upgrade it, you need another three extreme cold items of the five elements, as you should be clear about. But earth fire is still not good enough for it. The most suitable method to refine the mini Canglan sword is the Tianyin essence fire.”
Jing Yue said, “I’ll try my best to find it. If I find all of them, I’ll return and ask you to forge the sword again.”
Shen Qiu's face flushed immediately and he hurriedly agreed.
“However…” Jing Yue changed his tone. “Although sword forging is important, I hope you don't forget to cultivate too.”
Be it the extreme cold items of the five elements or the Tianyin essence fire, there were few and far in between, and who knew how long it would take for him to gather everything. Jing Yue noticed that Shen Qiu was only a low-level Golden Core and was very worried that he would be gone when Jing Yue returned.
Shen Qiu was startled, not expecting Jing Yue to say such words to him. Since he reached Golden Core, he indeed spent a lot of energy in sword refining that his cultivation progress had stagnated.
If his life came to an end, how else could he refine swords?
“I get it, thanks for the reminder.” Shen Qiu thanked him sincerely.
When they came out of the earth fire room, they saw the sect leader of Six Chasm Pavilion and Elder Lu waiting outside. During the exchange of greetings between both parties, mini Canglan sword suddenly pulled out of its scabbard and performed many antics in front of Elder Lu like it was showing off.
Sect leader of Six Chasm Pavilion, “Hehe, what a lively sword.”
Elder Lu, “…”
Jing Yue, “…”
One month later, Jing Yue brought Xiao Hei back to Frostcloud Sect. The first thing they did was to see Yi Ye.
No one knew what Jing Yue said to Yi Ye, but since then, Yi Ye doted on Xiao Hei very much, even sharing out his private stash of heavenly treasures, as though Xiao Hei was his son.
There were even rumors within the sect that Jing-laozu helped Yi Ye-laozu find his illegitimate son who had been living outside.
In response, Yi Ye said—WTF!
At the same time, Jing Yue also taught Xiao Hei the Chaos Technique he learned from the Void Sword Tomb before he went into seclusion.
It didn't take long for the entire cultivation world to learn that Jing-laozu of Frostcloud Sect had accepted a useless five-element spiritual root disciple. Everyone was puzzled and talked about it. Only Qin Yanzhi, who was far away in Sword Inscription Sect, smiled knowingly when he heard about it.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed.
In the spiritual garden of Whitefog Summit, the golden chestnut flower grew well and would mature soon. Some of the blessing grass that Jing Yue had planted before had become ordinary grass and withered long ago, while some still had no indication of what they would grow to become, the leaves tender green and vibrant.
Two attendant disciples who tended the spiritual garden were chatting. One said, “I heard that someone saw Qin-zhenjun near Frore City a while ago.”
The other said, “Did he come to Frostcloud Sect? Why haven't I heard of it?”
“He didn’t come up the mountain. I wonder why he came to Frore City.”
“Perhaps he has something private to take care of. Qin-zhenjun is really amazing. When he returned, he went to West Shu and made a killing. After decades of seclusion, his cultivation greatly improved when he came out, and he went to West Shu to make a killing again. I guess he regards West Shu as his sword’s training ground.”
“His sword is no longer Daoyi but seems to be called Taiqing, same as Yi Wang-laozu’s sword name. Some people say that Taiqing has developed a sword soul.”
“No way, sword soul? In the World of Seven Continents now, only Tao Xian-laozu’s sword has a sword soul. Qin-zhenjun is only a Heavenly Grotto cultivator. He…”
Suddenly, a person came from not far away. The two attendant disciples immediately shut up and greeted, “Zheng Bai-shixiong.”
Zheng Bai, “Is Laozu not out of seclusion yet?”
The disciples didn't know if he was talking about Jing Yue or Yi Ye, but both of them were in seclusion, so they shook their heads.
One of the disciples was more courageous. Knowing that Zheng Bai was friendly, he asked, “Zheng Bai-shixiong, have you returned from the Haotian Realm?”
Zheng Bai nodded and sighed. “Alas, I don't know when my next turn will be.”
Disciple, “But isn't the Haotian Realm rotation once every twenty years? You seem to have only been there for ten years.”
Zheng Bai, “I can’t help it. The guardian disciples of Yao Detention Mountain are about to rotate, and it just happens to be my turn.”
The disciple suddenly realized and felt sorry for Zheng Bai. Then, he asked again, “Zheng Bai-shixiong, what exactly is the Haotian Realm like?”
Zheng Bai, “It’s just like that. Except that the spiritual energy is thinner, the place is smaller, the cultivation technique is lesser, and the overall cultivation base of the cultivators is a little lower, the rest is basically the same as the World of Seven Continents.”
He chuckled. “But well, when we reach the Haotian Realm, our identities are different. We are respected everywhere. As the rotating elder of the top sect, we can also get a lot of good resources.”
Seeing envy in the other two’s eyes, he couldn't help but add, “You don’t know that back then, when Wu Chen-zhenren brought the seniors to the Haotian Realm for the first time, they encountered several great immortal gates in the small world besieging Mini Frostcloud Sect. They thought Jing-laozu has fallen in the Six Wheel secret realm and wanted to take advantage, but they were blocked by Jing-laozu's formation and couldn't get in at all. Haha!”
Sure enough, the attendant disciples got excited. “What happened next?”
Zheng Bai said smugly, “Of course, they were taught a good lesson by Wu Chen-zhenren later and have been well-behaved in the past decades. But the people of Mini Frostcloud Sect miss Jing-laozu and Qin… Qin-zhenjun very much.”
At this point, Zheng Bai's face became a little odd.
The disciple had a sudden thought and asked, “Zheng Bai-shixiong, was Qin-zhenjun really a kid at that time?”
Zheng Bai laughed awkwardly. “Yes, in the Chen and Xiang Kingdom of Haotian Realm, there are still portraits of him as a child, quite cute.”
But in his heart, he said, ‘I guess Qin-zhenjun would like to burn those paintings, right? Every single one of them is a dark history!’
At this time, the sound of the stone door opening and closing came from not far away.
In the spiritual garden, the three were taken aback before shouting with joy, “Jing-laozu has come out of seclusion!”
Author’s Notes:
One day, four-year-old Yi Ye hid in the woods and cried. Jing Yuan heard it when he passed by and asked, “Why are you crying again?” And deliberately chose to hide on the road I must pass by when I return…
Yi Ye, who only reached the height of Jing Yuan’s thigh, choked, “They said I was picked up…”
Jing Yuan, “Didn’t I tell you already? I took you away from your home. Your parents also agreed.”
Yi Ye, “Then why do first and second Shixiong look together at a glance?”
Jing Yuan, “What do you mean?”
Yi Ye, “Yi Nian and Yi Wang, aren’t they together?”
Jing Yuan “…” Together isn’t used in that sense…
Yi Ye pouted. “Only Yi Ye doesn’t seem to have anything to do with them.”
Jing Yuan stroked his head, “One leaf is one world. One thought, one forgetfulness, and me, we are all in your world. You contain us and inherit our legacy. You are the hope and future of Frostcloud Sect.”
At that time, Yi Ye was still very ignorant.
But many years later, Yi Ye did it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The receiving disciple felt even more embarrassed but dared not say anything. He could only explain to the two, “This is Jing-laozu of Frostcloud Sect. He wants to find someone to forge a sword.”

I just want to use the best materials to forge you in the future too.Only then was Taihao satisfied and obediently remained still.Mini Canglan, come here, Jing Yue shouted, stopping mini Canglan's annoying behavior.He looked at the mini Canglan sword that stopped at his side and said to Shen Qiu, Mister, you have worked hard.Shen Qiu waved his hand repeatedly. It's no trouble. I'm just assisting you. Besides, being able to participate in refining such a sword is something I can't hope to ask for.He thought for a while and added, This sword is extraordinary. If you want to continue to upgrade it, you need another three extreme cold items of the five elements, as you should be clear about. But earth fire is still not good enough for it. The most suitable method to refine the mini Canglan sword is the Tianyin essence fire.Jing Yue said, I'll try my best to find it. If I find all of them, I'll return and ask you to forge the sword again.Shen Qiu's face flushed immediately and he hurriedly agreed.However Jing Yue changed his tone. Although sword forging is important, I hope you don't forget to cultivate too.Be it the extreme cold items of the five elements or the Tianyin essence fire, there were few and far in between, and who knew how long it would take for him to gather everything. Jing Yue noticed that Shen Qiu was only a low-level Golden Core and was very worried that he would be gone when Jing Yue returned.Shen Qiu was startled, not expecting Jing Yue to say such words to him. Since he reached Golden Core, he indeed spent a lot of energy in sword refining that his cultivation progress had stagnated.If his life came to an end, how else could he refine swords?I get it, thanks for the reminder. Shen Qiu thanked him sincerely.When they came out of the earth fire room, they saw the sect leader of Six Chasm Pavilion and Elder Lu waiting outside. During the exchange of greetings between both parties, mini Canglan sword suddenly pulled out of its scabbard and performed many antics in front of Elder Lu like it was showing off.Sect leader of Six Chasm Pavilion, Hehe, what a lively sword.Elder Lu, Jing Yue, One month later, Jing Yue brought Xiao Hei back to Frostcloud Sect. The first thing they did was to see Yi Ye.No one knew what Jing Yue said to Yi Ye, but since then, Yi Ye doted on Xiao Hei very much, even sharing out his private stash of heavenly treasures, as though Xiao Hei was his son.There were even rumors within the sect that Jing-laozu helped Yi Ye-laozu find his illegitimate son who had been living outside.In response, Yi Ye saidWTF!At the same time, Jing Yue also taught Xiao Hei the Chaos Technique he learned from the Void Sword Tomb before he went into seclusion.It didn't take long for the entire cultivation world to learn that Jing-laozu of Frostcloud Sect had accepted a useless five-element spiritual root disciple. Everyone was puzzled and talked about it. Only Qin Yanzhi, who was far away in Sword Inscription Sect, smiled knowingly when he heard about it.Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed.In the spiritual garden of Whitefog Summit, the golden chestnut flower grew well and would mature soon. Some of the blessing grass that Jing Yue had planted before had become ordinary grass and withered long ago, while some still had no indication of what they would grow to become, the leaves tender green and vibrant.Two attendant disciples who tended the spiritual garden were chatting. One said, I heard that someone saw Qin-zhenjun near Frore City a while ago.The other said, Did he come to Frostcloud Sect? Why haven't I heard of it?He didn't come up the mountain. I wonder why he came to Frore City.Perhaps he has something private to take care of. Qin-zhenjun is really amazing. When he returned, he went to West Shu and made a killing. After decades of seclusion, his cultivation greatly improved when he came out, and he went to West Shu to make a killing again. I guess he regards West Shu as his sword's training ground.His sword is no longer Daoyi but seems to be called Taiqing, same as Yi Wang-laozu's sword name. Some people say that Taiqing has developed a sword soul.No way, sword soul? In the World of Seven Continents now, only Tao Xian-laozu's sword has a sword soul. Qin-zhenjun is only a Heavenly Grotto cultivator. HeSuddenly, a person came from not far away. The two attendant disciples immediately shut up and greeted, Zheng Bai-shixiong.Zheng Bai, Is Laozu not out of seclusion yet?The disciples didn't know if he was talking about Jing Yue or Yi Ye, but both of them were in seclusion, so they shook their heads.One of the disciples was more courageous. Knowing that Zheng Bai was friendly, he asked, Zheng Bai-shixiong, have you returned from the Haotian Realm?Zheng Bai nodded and sighed. Alas, I don't know when my next turn will be.Disciple, But isn't the Haotian Realm rotation once every twenty years? You seem to have only been there for ten years.Zheng Bai, I can't help it. The guardian disciples of Yao Detention Mountain are about to rotate, and it just happens to be my turn.The disciple suddenly realized and felt sorry for Zheng Bai. Then, he asked again, Zheng Bai-shixiong, what exactly is the Haotian Realm like?Zheng Bai, It's just like that. Except that the spiritual energy is thinner, the place is smaller, the cultivation technique is lesser, and the overall cultivation base of the cultivators is a little lower, the rest is basically the same as the World of Seven Continents.He chuckled. But well, when we reach the Haotian Realm, our identities are different. We are respected everywhere. As the rotating elder of the top sect, we can also get a lot of good resources.Seeing envy in the other two's eyes, he couldn't help but add, You don't know that back then, when Wu Chen-zhenren brought the seniors to the Haotian Realm for the first time, they encountered several great immortal gates in the small world besieging Mini Frostcloud Sect. They thought Jing-laozu has fallen in the Six Wheel secret realm and wanted to take advantage, but they were blocked by Jing-laozu's formation and couldn't get in at all. Haha!Sure enough, the attendant disciples got excited. What happened next?Zheng Bai said smugly, Of course, they were taught a good lesson by Wu Chen-zhenren later and have been well-behaved in the past decades. But the people of Mini Frostcloud Sect miss Jing-laozu and Qin Qin-zhenjun very much.At this point, Zheng Bai's face became a little odd.The disciple had a sudden thought and asked, Zheng Bai-shixiong, was Qin-zhenjun really a kid at that time?Zheng Bai laughed awkwardly. Yes, in the Chen and Xiang Kingdom of Haotian Realm, there are still portraits of him as a child, quite cute.But in his heart, he said, I guess Qin-zhenjun would like to burn those paintings, right? Every single one of them is a dark history!'At this time, the sound of the stone door opening and closing came from not far away.In the spiritual garden, the three were taken aback before shouting with joy, Jing-laozu has come out of seclusion!Author's Notes:One day, four-year-old Yi Ye hid in the woods and cried. Jing Yuan heard it when he passed by and asked, Why are you crying again? And deliberately chose to hide on the road I must pass by when I returnYi Ye, who only reached the height of Jing Yuan's thigh, choked, They said I was picked upJing Yuan, Didn't I tell you already? I took you away from your home. Your parents also agreed.Yi Ye, Then why do first and second Shixiong look together at a glance?Jing Yuan, What do you mean?Yi Ye, Yi Nian and Yi Wang, aren't they together?Jing Yuan Together isn't used in that senseYi Ye pouted. Only Yi Ye doesn't seem to have anything to do with them.Jing Yuan stroked his head, One leaf is one world. One thought, one forgetfulness, and me, we are all in your world. You contain us and inherit our legacy. You are the hope and future of Frostcloud Sect.At that time, Yi Ye was still very ignorant.But many years later, Yi Ye did it.
