I Am Loaded With Passive Skills

Chapter 3957: Chapter 1890: Exhausting All Schemes (Part 3)

...

The Sword Ancestor appeared even dimmer.

Uncertain if it was truly because the time was up or if it was due to the grand ambitions of the new generation.

He looked at the three pieces of the Origin True Stele, pondered for a while before speaking:

"Yes."

He probably already knew what this young man wanted to ask.

Sure enough, the little rascal put away the Origin True Stele and said with a grin, "Old man, I heard the Sword Tower also has this kind of stele. I’m just into collecting; why don’t you give it to me?"

The Sword Ancestor quite admired this young man’s candid nature. He spread his hands, indicating there was nothing.

He then pointed behind him, and a Mystical Gate as tall as a person was formed out of thin air, behind which the phantom of the Sword Tower flickered:

"Young friend, would you be willing to accompany this old man into the tower to fetch it?"

It’s a trap!

Jin Ren got goosebumps all over, glanced at the gate behind the Sword Ancestor, and hesitated:

"Young people still need time to struggle, while old people have nothing to do. It’s all idle time anyway. Could I trouble you to go fetch the stone for me, oh great Sword Ancestor?"

Lord Shou, you have an awfully big face!

Across the five regions, whether ancient swordsmen or Spiritual Cultivators, all were both amused and exasperated by these words.

You’re really daring to say that, aren’t you? That is the God of Sword, Gu Louying!

The Sword Ancestor shook his head, firmly refusing. He even deliberately gave a complete explanation:

"As long as an Ancestral God has one breath left and the ability to rise again, it’s impossible to extract the Origin True Stele that embodies a lifetime’s inheritance."

"And when leaving this Residual Intent, this old man had not yet entered reincarnation, and thus had no Origin True Stele. Therefore, though the Sword Tower now has an Origin True Stele, it has nothing to do with this old man, and I cannot extract it."

"If young friend truly wants it, you must go yourself. There is no other way."

This gave enough information.

Jin Ren thought of the ’battle’, ’dragon’, and ’sky’ in his hands. Fine, those three likely are entirely gone.

If the Sword Tower truly has an Origin True Stele, then the Sword Ancestor too has declared farewell.

If so, this might really be the last time to see the Sword Ancestor.

Whether or not to ask about matters concerning the Name Ancestor, this is the last opportunity, but if I wish to ask...

Even if the Origin True Stele: Sword contains the will of the Sword Ancestor, a private communication might be needed again.

Should I go to the Sword Tower?

Are you sending me, Jin Ren, to my death?

It would be fine if dying solved everything, but going there and encountering the released Demon Ancestor’s Spirit might result in falling into a trap.

The Demon Ancestor’s Spirit is different from the will of the Demon Ancestor. Firstly separated by a river of time, and secondly, hidden and unrevealed.

The Demon Ancestor is not comparable to the Dao Ancestor. After all, how can a true ancestor and a false ancestor be spoken of on the same day?

"I can’t ask it now..."

If the Demon Ancestor doesn’t make a move, nothing happens.

But once he does, both Jin Ren and the main body’s two brains are troubled together.

But indeed, if the Demon Ancestor were truly so easy to deal with, it shouldn’t be other ancestors in reincarnation but him!

"Biting off more than you can chew."

"Old man, I have already found my own way. For the Origin True Stele of the true transmission of the Way of the Sword, you should seek someone else."

Jin Ren found a way to back out, suddenly pointing to Hua Changdeng: "My brother Hua is incredibly strong; his Phantom Swords Technique has reached the pinnacle, entering the transcendent state. Perhaps Brother Hua, you go with the Sword Ancestor to the Sword Tower to fetch the Origin True Stele?"

Hua Changdeng’s face immediately fell.

What kind of trick are you up to, boy? Do you really think I haven’t experienced this before?

The whole Arena was amused by Lord Shou, although not really sure what they were talking about, but it seemed like a setup?

"Sword Ancestor."

Bazhun’an spoke again.

As soon as he spoke, Lord Shou’s antics came to an end.

The Sword Ancestor returned to the main topic and took on Bazhun’an’s second question, smiling slightly:

"Is the Path of the Ancient Swordsman all about cultivation, opening the door widely, or choosing one and refining it..."

He looked in turn at Hua, Ba, Gou, and Shou, filled with admiration:

"The four of you, actually had your own answers."

"As for others..."

He looked at the remaining ancient swordsmen at Lingyu Mountain, and then gazed across the five regions, his voice like a great bell and large drum, thought-provoking:

"Follow procedures while considering progress and change."

Everyone fell into thought.

This seemed to say that only those with ability can consider "change," while those without should follow the old path of the God of Sword.

At the very least, isn’t the upper limit the God of Sword, Gu Louying?

Jin Ren did not ponder, unexpectedly stepped forward, and asked again: "Sword Ancestor, have you ever changed?"

The five regions had become accustomed to Lord Shou’s pace.

This guy would never leave things unsaid.

The Sword Ancestor also looked over, lips parting, ready to answer without much thought.

Yet the young man’s expression was extremely serious, interrupting him right on time, and asked again:

"Sword Ancestor, have you changed?"
