Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1189: Chapter 255: Nine Rings of Questioning the Heart, Stirring Up Waves

"Miss, please find another place."

Wan Shan Sword Tower’s Cui Yuesheng said.

The beautiful lady Shenshouhua’s almond eyes contained a hint of anger, she said: "As a member of the Tianyi Sect, are you really this cowardly?!"

Cui Yuesheng frowned slightly and snorted coldly: "Miss, do not speak nonsense. You are from the Calamity Clan, though you have great potential, you lack the fortune of a prodigy. I’m merely considering the well-being of our sect’s million disciples."

"Hmph, even the fortune of a great sect dares not resist the calamity on me."

The beautiful lady Shenshouhua sneered, her eyes showing disdain.

Cui Yuesheng’s expression turned cold, he said: "If you continue speaking nonsense, disaster will descend immediately!"

Feeling the aura of power emanating from him, the beautiful lady Shenshouhua slightly clenched her delicate fingers, unwilling to retreat. She practiced Sword Dao and had already inquired; among the many forces present here, only the Wan Shan Sword Tower suited her best. She also wished to learn an Emperor Sword technique from the Wan Shan Sword Tower.

If she retreated now, she would have no further opportunities.

As her almond eyes flickered with determination, a figure accompanied by the scent of alcohol drifted over.

"Miss, if this place doesn’t accept you, there are surely others that will, why insist?"

A red-nosed old man said with a chuckle, standing beside the lady.

The beautiful lady Shenshouhua’s eyes turned slightly, sensing the latent power from the red-nosed old man, her gaze tightened as she asked: "Which sect are you from, are you willing to accept me?"

The red-nosed old man thought this young girl truly did not know how to speak, announcing his sect in front of the Wan Shan Sword Tower, isn’t that asking for unnecessary trouble? He chuckled and said:

"Let’s talk somewhere else."

Cui Yuesheng slightly narrowed his eyes, recognizing the identity of the red-nosed old man, his eyebrows revealed a slight surprise as he said indifferently:

"Great Dream Nine Abysses, what courage, are you planning to smash the pot and let it go?"

The red-nosed old man’s face changed slightly, realizing he was seen through, he stopped hiding and said with a faint smile:

"Youngster, watch your words, ten thousand years ago, Great Dream Nine Abysses was the Tianyi Sect, at that time the Wan Shan Sword Tower didn’t even exist."

"And what about now?"

Cui Yuesheng retorted with a cold smile.

The red-nosed old man was momentarily stunned, a hint of coldness appearing in his eyes. At the same time, the wine gourd on his back seemed to heat up, and the ambient temperature around them began to rise slowly.

Cui Yuesheng felt the subtle aura emanating from his opponent, like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, causing a warning in his heart, and his gaze deepened involuntarily.

"Senior, if you are willing to accept me, I promise not to disappoint you."

At this time, the beautiful lady Shenshouhua spoke up, looking directly at the red-nosed old man, her expression exceptionally serious.

Upon hearing this, the red-nosed old man’s gathered momentum slowly dissipated. Adopting the demeanor of a reclusive master, he gently stroked his beard and smiled:

"What Wan Shan Sword Tower dares not accept, we at Great Dream Nine Abysses dare. What Wan Shan Sword Tower lacks in swordsmanship, we at Great Dream Nine Abysses have. Young girl, coming to Great Dream Nine Abysses is your correct choice!"

His clothes were tattered like a beggar’s, combined with his current demeanor and stance, it was somewhat comical.

But the beautiful lady Shenshouhua didn’t show any disdain or ridicule in her eyes, instead, she nodded earnestly:

"Yue Xi of the Calamity Clan, willing to become a disciple under the senior!"

"Haha, no rush, no rush, when we return to the sect, there will be a formal apprenticeship ceremony."

The red-nosed old man laughed heartily.

Being able to accept such a monster with Eight Echoes of the Heart Inquiry, even though she is from the Calamity Clan, her talent is undoubtedly exceptional.

Cui Yuesheng observed this scene, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and without further words, he turned and walked back to the giant sword.

"How should I address you, senior, and what are the requirements for your sect’s acceptance of disciples?"

Yue Xi inquired, earlier she had only revealed the power of Eight Echoes of the Heart Inquiry and the Eternal Dao Heart. She initially intended to showcase her swordsmanship at the Wan Shan Sword Tower, but they directly refused her.

"Your Dao Heart is enough, I believe your talent won’t be inferior."

The red-nosed old man said.

Hearing him say this, Yue Xi didn’t ask further. She believed that her swordsmanship wasn’t inferior to the many prodigies on this square seeking a master. She had merely glanced at the Sword Intent left by the Wan Shan Sword Tower from afar and had already gleaned some insight. If she delved into it seriously, she believed she could grasp it within three days.

"When shall we return to the sect?"

Yue Xi asked.

"No hurry, there is another youngster, let’s wait for him."

The red-nosed old man said with a chuckle: "I’m just not sure if that youngster can meet the requirements."

He pondered to himself, he had previously mentioned Six Echoes of the Heart Inquiry to display the prowess of Great Dream Nine Abysses in front of that youth. However, if the boy couldn’t reach it, even Five Echoes would still be adequate, and if it was just Four Echoes... he would later assess his talent in Sword Dao, and if he could pass, he might still accept him.

After all, the current Great Dream Nine Abysses is not what it was ten thousand years ago...

"Hmm?"

Yue Xi’s eyes slightly moved at the red-nosed old man’s words but quickly returned to calm.

Just at this moment, a sudden resonance came from the sixth level of the Heart Inquiry Tower.

The two of them looked over, seeing the sixth level of the Heart Inquiry Tower trembling slightly.

Upon reaching the fifth level of the Heart Inquiry Tower, if the Dao Heart resonates, it could be sensed from the outside, and reaching the sixth level, the sensation would become clearer.

Earlier when Yue Xi had Eight Echoes, many outside had heard it.

"Heart Inquiry Six Echoes?"

"Looks like another monster is born."

"This must be a Middle Rank Chaotic Dao Heart, enough to reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Monarch Realm!"

"If it’s Seven Echoes, such a Dao Heart would make one an unbeatable force within the Immortal Monarch Realm, capable of traversing the four regions of the True Realm!"

In the square, several people noticed and exchanged glances, whispering.

The red-nosed old man turned to look at a small dirt mound, only to find that the youth who had been quietly fishing there had vanished. His eyes flickered slightly, could it be, that boy truly achieved Six Echoes?
