Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Page 319

The words of the Drunken Sword Immortal made Xu Changqing's face turn pale. This meant that as long as the Demon Locking Tower was not repaired, Qingwei and the others would have to sit here and could not leave.

The Sword Saint snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "What a Demon Lord! He destroyed the Demon-Sealing Tower based solely on his personal desires, disregarding the well-being of all living beings, and toying with my Shu Mountain like a puppet..."

The Sword Immortal shook his head and said, "Senior brother, there's no point in talking about this now. Let's think about how to make amends."

After a moment of contemplation, the Sword Saint slowly said, "The only way to completely repair the Demon Locking Tower is to find the five spiritual pearls left behind by Nuwa and rebalance the five elements of the tower."

Upon hearing the mention of the Five Elemental Pearls, Xu Changqing's expression suddenly changed, and he took out a pearl from his pocket. "My junior brother and I found the Earth Elemental Pearl inside a general's tomb during our recent trip down the mountain!"

The Sword Immortal took the Earth Spirit Orb, touched it, and laughed, "It really is all preordained; it is destined that Mount Shu will survive this calamity."

Sword Saint said in a deep voice, "We can't leave the Demon Locking Tower now that it's in this state. Since you've found an Earth Spirit Orb, it proves that you have a connection with it. Please take the rest back to Mount Shu."

Xu Changqing clasped his hands and said, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. This is what I should do."

Chu Yang suddenly spoke up: "Finding this Earth Spirit Orb also involved the contributions of others. I hope that Sword Saint Uncle and Sect Leader can give them some rewards."

The Sword Immortal winked at Chu Yang, signaling him not to continue.

The Sword Saint's expression had changed.

Cang Gu helplessly reminded him, "A-Yang, our Shu Mountain is currently too busy to help others!"

Chu Yang solemnly said, "Master, we are not helping others, but helping ourselves. If the Moon Worship Cult continues to grow stronger, it will no longer be just a problem for the Nanzhao Kingdom."

Cang Gu fell silent.

The Sword Saint said calmly, "All things in heaven and earth have their causes and effects. Birth, aging, sickness and death all have their own order. There is no need for others to worry about them."

Chu Yang turned to look at the Sword Saint, "If the Demon Lord hadn't suddenly appeared and destroyed the Demon-Locking Tower, Uncle-Master would have already been preparing to imprison Zhao Ling'er in the tower until Li Xiaoyao died of old age, wouldn't he?"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Immortal, who was just about to take a sip of wine to calm his nerves, immediately spat out the wine in his mouth.

He stared at the Sword Saint with a look of astonishment. "Senior brother, is this really true?"

"Really?" The Sword Saint nodded, looking at Chu Yang with considerable surprise. "How did you know?"

Chu Yang smiled knowingly, "Isn't Sword Saint Uncle always like this? He only knows how to run away when faced with problems. Whether it was Yin Ruozhuo more than ten years ago or the current Sword Saint Dugu, he hasn't really changed much."

Upon hearing this, even Qingwei's expression changed slightly, and she scolded Chu Yang to shut up.

The Sword Immortal drank several mouthfuls of wine in succession, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Be nice!

The disciples that Old Man Qingwei has taken in are too amazing!

How dare they provoke the Sword Saint senior brother to his face!

what a pity……

How wonderful it would be if you could be my disciple!

The Sword Saint remained calm, seemingly unperturbed, and looked at Chu Yang with interest. "Continue," he said.

"You have spent your life pursuing the Tao, and you claim that it is the greatest love in the world, for which you are willing to give up your personal love."

"But I want to say that a great love that can't even tolerate small love is just a pile of dog shit!"

"shut up!"

Qingwei's tone became unusually stern, devoid of its usual amiability.

"Let him continue."

The Sword Saint stared intently at Chu Yang, "Do you understand the Dao?"

"I don't understand at all! I just think that a person who would rather try to break up others and watch their juniors die than stand up and sacrifice themselves is a complete coward."

"If someone like that were to comprehend the Great Dao, it would be a complete waste of God's blindness."

He certainly couldn't win a debate on Dao with the Sword Saint, so he might as well scold him. As long as the other party gets angry and his Dao heart is disturbed, Chu Yang would succeed, because only a Sword Saint with a disturbed Dao heart could possibly enter the game.

The Drunken Sword Immortal had already tied the wine gourd back to his waist and silently leaned towards Chu Yang, fearing that his senior brother, the Sword Saint, might kill this interesting kid in a fit of anger.

This isn't a discussion of philosophy; this brat is pointing his finger at his Sword Saint senior brother and cursing him!

"You're very good. I hope you can give me another answer in the future, so I can see what other great principles there are besides natural cause and effect."

The Sword Saint wasn't angry, at least not outwardly. He said something calmly, then flashed back to the top of the Demon-Sealing Tower to take his seat.

Only one elder-level figure remains in the entire Shu Mountain sect who can move freely.

The Drunken Sword Immortal.

He was also lazy and didn't set a good example for his disciples who went down the mountain to exorcise demons.

"Come, come, let us tell you a solution. Shushan is in trouble right now. Why don't you take that group of people from Nanzhao Kingdom to find the Five Elemental Pearls? If you can successfully help Shushan out of its predicament, no matter what they ask for, Senior Brother and Old Man Qingwei will have no choice but to accept it!"

The Drunken Sword Immortal grabbed Chu Yang and Xu Changqing by the neck, his strong smell of alcohol making them unable to open their eyes.

But Xu Changqing smiled as soon as he heard his suggestion!

Although it has a bit of a "taking advantage of someone's kindness" feel to it, it's still a good approach.

Xu Changqing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle!"

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "The Five Elemental Pearls are also Bai Yue's target. If he knows we are looking for the Five Elemental Pearls, he will probably come to the Central Plains to deal with us personally!"

The Sword Immortal glared and chuckled, "He wouldn't dare! Times have changed. The Five Elemental Pearls are now the lifeblood of Mount Shu. If he dares to make a move, Senior Brother Sword Saint will hunt him down to the ends of the earth!"

The Sword Immortal spoke very loudly, and all the disciples near the Demon Locking Tower heard it. Everyone looked at the Sword Saint.

The usually impassive Sword Saint finally showed a flicker of emotion, glaring fiercely at the Drunken Sword Immortal, but did not object to his statement.

"My two senior uncles are truly wise and righteous!"

Chu Yang secretly gave the Drunken Sword Immortal a thumbs up. The old fox is still the most cunning. He had been cursing so much that the Sword Saint hadn't reacted at all, but the Drunken Sword Immortal had rendered the Sword Saint helpless with just a few words.

The Sword Immortal grinned from ear to ear, thoroughly enjoying Chu Yang's flattery. He had a love-hate relationship with the Sword Saint throughout his life, and he loved seeing his senior brother suffer setbacks.

Since the Sword Saint promised to take action once Baiyue appeared in the Central Plains, the safety of Li Xiaoyao and the others was guaranteed, and Chu Yang could act more freely.

"In that case, this disciple will descend the mountain now. I hope the sect leader and all the senior uncles will take care!"

Chu Yang and Xu Changqing bowed respectfully, preparing to immediately descend the mountain to inform Li Xiaoyao and the others of this good news.

Just now.

The Sword Saint at the top of the tower suddenly spoke up: "Qingwei, if you don't speak now, are you going to wait until they leave? I can control Baiyue, but I can't control that thing!"

"You've been indecisive your whole life. Entrusting Mount Shu to you is a disgrace to our sect!"

The Sword Saint's sudden outburst of rage left Xu Changqing bewildered, and he could only look at Qingwei with a puzzled expression.

A look of struggle appeared on Qingwei's face, which eventually turned into a heavy sigh: "Decades ago, a disciple of Shu Mountain with extraordinary talent fell into demonic possession and raised his sword against his fellow disciples. Even the sect leader at the time died because of this, and the Sword Sect almost lost its lineage."

"What's worse is that this disciple who has fallen into demonic possession has also attracted a large number of extraterrestrial demons to attack Mount Shu. The entire Mount Shu is beset by internal and external troubles and is only one step away from collapse."

"At that time, my fellow disciples and I, in order to become immortals, practiced the forbidden techniques of Mount Shu without permission, and were completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Fortunately, Tianyou came out of seclusion in time and was able to turn the tide."

"But the damage to Mount Shu is irreversible, and all the blame lies with me..."

The Sword Immortal shook his head slightly, interrupting Qingwei, "Let me continue. If you keep talking, it will sound like a self-reproach edict."

He turned to Xu Changqing and Chu Yang and said, "The forbidden technique that your master and the others practiced forcibly expelled their evil thoughts from their bodies to increase their cultivation. Although the effect was remarkable, it also had endless consequences."

"That evil thought absorbed a large amount of extraterrestrial demon power, and it was difficult to control once it was born. At that time, it was only with the help of a divine artifact that it was sealed in the Demon Locking Tower."

"With the Demon Lord breaking the Demon Locking Tower some time ago, that evil thought also escaped and its whereabouts are now unknown."

"It's even more troublesome than Baiyue, so remember to be careful when you're searching for the Five Elemental Pearls!"

Chu Yang now knew what they were talking about.

Evil Sword Immortal!

It's unclear which version of the Evil Sword Immortal it refers to. Some versions of the Evil Sword Immortal are beaten to a pulp by Chonglou, while others can even break off Chonglou's horns.

However, Chu Yang thought again that Chonglou's problem seemed to be bigger. If it were an invincible version, it would be fine, since no version of the Evil Sword Immortal could defeat him.

But if it's the weaker version...

The responsibility of saving the world might actually fall on my shoulders.

Brother Red Hair, you absolutely have to give it your all!

Upon learning the truth, Xu Changqing's expression was complicated. In his heart, both his master and the sect leader were sage immortals who took it upon themselves to save the world and help people.

Who would have thought that they, for their own selfish interests, almost caused an irreparable disaster!

The more Xu Changqing thought about it, the more dazed he became, and his faith began to crumble.

“Senior brother, no one is perfect. It’s normal to have selfish desires. The process of cultivation is to understand yourself, accept yourself, change yourself, and strive forward toward the ideal path in your heart.”

"If people are born perfect, would they need to cultivate Taoism?"

Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, the Sword Saint standing atop the tower smiled and nodded silently.

This kid's got some skills; no wonder he dares to discuss philosophy with me.

The Drunken Sword Immortal patted him on the shoulder and praised, "Well said!"

Qingwei and the others also showed signs of relief.

"Changqing, I know you are disappointed in us, but right now we must prioritize the overall situation and not let our Daoist heart be disturbed."

Xu Changqing took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Changqing will obey Master's orders!"
