Chapter 443: 443, [The Unknowable Land] (Thanks to Alliance Hierarch “Ai Ai” for yet another 100,000 reward!)
“The teacher’s younger brother?” Everyone present clearly faltered for a moment, everyone wearing a baffled expression.
Among them, Lu Xun was the most baffled.
“What a loss, such a major loss!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He couldn’t help but recall that back in West State, he and Ping Shanhai were known as friends.
Since they weren’t from the same sect, discussing seniority was complicated, and being known as friends avoided any awkwardness.
But now, thinking about it, that was not the case at all!
“So, strictly speaking, Ping Shanhai should also call me ‘Young Elder’!” Lu Xun felt he had been taken advantage of.
But this also showed that One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain apparently didn’t know about this relationship?
Honestly, Lu Xun was extremely astounded at this moment.
If it was said that all three Demon Sects were related to the Teacher, Lu Xun would not be too surprised, but he didn’t expect that the two Sword Sects actually had such a connection!
As for the teacher’s younger brother, he had just heard about him occasionally. He was rarely mentioned, but he was probably quite an important figure.
If it were not so, he would not have been able to teach a disciple like Sword Mountain Elder.
Perhaps due to mentioning his brother, or for some other reason, the Teacher suddenly lost interest in chitchat.
He got up from the wooden chair, preparing to go back to his room.
Before leaving, he turned to Lu Xun and the others, saying: “Little Five, Little Chan, Little Li’zi, you three will accompany me to a place tomorrow.”
“Yes.” The three replied.
The Teacher called Lu Xun back to the Sect for the purpose of taking him to a certain place. After resting for two days, it seemed they were finally going to set off.
After the Teacher left, Lu Xun turned to his second senior sister and asked softly: “Second senior sister, have you ever seen… our uncle?”
The term ‘uncle’ felt quite unusual.
And Lu Xun speculated that this uncle… probably preferred to be called ‘uncle master’?
The second senior sister sat across from Lu Xun, shook her head calmly, and said: “I also… have never seen him.”
When she finished, she unusually added one more sentence: “Even… our eldest senior brother… has never seen uncle… uncle master.”
“I see.” Lu Xun was slightly disappointed.
He didn’t expect that even the eldest senior brother hadn’t seen this legendary uncle master.
Sometimes, having more elderly people around is quite nice.
Elders should always give a gift when meeting their juniors, right?
I am so good-looking, totally of the type that is especially favored by elders.
If the elders are happy, they might give me some treasure. How wonderful that would be!
“What a pity!” The good-for-nothing sighed internally.
…
…
After the Teacher returned to his room, Lu Xun did not linger long in the small bamboo forest.
Because after dinner, according to the schedule, the second senior sister was going to take Ji Li to meditate in the bamboo forest.
Even though the second senior sister had already broken through, she maintained the habit of meditating in the bamboo forest.
After pondering, Lu Xun shamelessly also left his own disciple for the second senior sister to teach.
Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching, she can also bring along Little Chan for the meditation!
If Lu Xun hadn’t participated in meditation, he would not receive experience points and could not make a breakthrough in Sword Dao. Otherwise, he himself would join.
Mao Nanbei, as usual, had nothing to do, so lazily lounged on the big vine chair outside the Small Study, eating her little hands instinctively, just like a kitten licking its paws.
Lu Xun returned to his room and started browsing the forum.
Today he decided to take a break and not look at any posts about the mainland situation or any other serious posts.
He specifically looked for those less serious ones.
Like those selfies the ladies posted… Well, not everyone who dresses like a lady is one.
By the way, he picked up the novel he was previously following on the forum.
Unexpectedly, the author started to update more frequently, the updates got longer. Truly admirable and respectable!
The leisure day passed quickly, and the next day, after breakfast, the gentleman stood up and said to the three of them, “Follow me.”
Lu Xun, Ji Li, and Lin Chan, followed the gentleman, arriving at the entrance of the Small Study.
The gentleman, standing next to the tall and stalwart Lu Xun, was half a head shorter than him.
In his white robe, the gentleman moved to Ji Li’s side and instructed, “Center yourselves, close your eyes.”
Hearing his words, the three promptly did as instructed.
The next moment, the gentleman waved his sleeve, and the four of them disappeared from where they were.
Immediately after, Lu Xun and the others felt a spinning sensation.
Even Lu Xun, an experienced adventurer, felt a strong sense of motion sickness.
What on earth! This vehicle is moving too fast!
Fortunately, the dizzying sensation didn’t last for long. Soon enough, the uncomfortable feeling vanished.
On the contrary, it seemed as if they had arrived in a place where it was spring all year round. Even though it was summer, the breeze that blew around them felt nothing like the heat of summer. It felt like a refreshing spring wind.
“Open your eyes.” The gentleman said.
Lu Xun and the others opened their eyes, immediately being captivated by the scenery before them.
The beauty of the back mountain was unique, it felt like a gigantic bonsai, the whole mountain had an exquisite feel to it, as if every detail had been taken care of.
The mountain in front of them, on the other hand, felt like a wonder of nature.
The vegetation here was growing unrestrained. You could see massive ancient trees, fields of flowers… Overall, it had a grand feel to it.
On the whole, the scenery here didn’t give a feeling of chaos, but rather, all elements complemented each other, forming a harmonious blend.
However, if you were to compare this place with the back mountain, it was like comparing two extremes.
“Master, where are we?” Lu Xun asked, puzzled.
He had just opened the [Map] to check their current location when he saw [???] on the map.
Seeing question marks when trying to check character information was understandable, but this was the first time he had seen a question mark on the map.
“This is Central Continent.” The gentleman answered.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun couldn’t help but gasp. “Central Continent!?”
They were in Eastern Region just a moment ago, and after such a short time, they were in Central Continent!?
Central Continent is where the Luotian Sect, the World Protagonist Xiao Ran’s sect, is located.
Although Central Continent is connected to the Eastern Region, getting from one to the other in such a short amount of time was highly unlikely.
The ability [Sword Qi is Near], said to be the fastest sword in the world, could not achieve this speed!
The Demon Sect was not located at the border of the Eastern Region, but in the center!
The most astonishing part was that the gentleman didn’t come alone, he brought “guests.” He had brought Lu Xun and the others with him!
“What kind of ability is this?” Lu Xun was utterly bewildered.
He now realized why he had an overwhelming sense of uneasiness earlier. That speed… Was he manning a spaceship?
Although he initially thought he had seen a lot of the world, he was eventually astonished by the gentleman’s abilities.
At present, they were halfway up the mountain. The gentleman pointed to the top of the mountain, “You three climb together. There’s a house on top. You can go in and look.”
“Are you not going, Master?” Lu Xun asked.
To him, sticking with the knowledgeable gentleman in this unknown land seemed reassuring.
The gentleman waved his hand and glanced at the mountaintop, “That house…I can’t enter it.”
“There’s a place in this world that the Master cannot enter!?” Lu Xun was once again taken aback.
