Chapter 1309: Sword of the Deity
Yi Feng was quite upset about being made the scapegoat by the old man, but the others grew more and more excited as they listened.
In this sunless Prison Suppressing Demons, they had finally waited for a chance to escape. Unable to suppress their excitement any longer, before Yi Feng could even speak, they all turned their expectant gazes towards Old Guo.
Old Guo himself was brimming with hope, his face showing an appreciative, "the pupil is worthy of the teacher" expression.
"This young friend's aura is deeply restrained. Even I cannot perceive its depths, and I presume it is the same for all of you, is it not?"
Several old women nodded repeatedly, chiming in their agreement.
"Indeed it is."
"Young friend Yi's aura is unfathomable. This old one is ashamed of my own inadequacy."
"Old Guo, could it be that you mean...?"
Tree Venerable seemed to have thought of something, the shock in his eyes intensifying!
Old Guo nodded slowly, stroking his beard with narrowed eyes.
"Mmm."
This young friend's aura is extraordinary. To be able to conceal it from our investigation must mean he is no ordinary background. He must have profound depth, hailing from a super ancient clan on a subsidiary star.
“Although we do not know why this young friend was also imprisoned in this realm, judging by his background, his foundation must be as solid as a rock. The base of his cultivation has undoubtedly been tempered a thousand times, without a single flaw!”
The praise grew even more astonishing, causing the other old men to widen their eyes in astonishment.
All eyes focused on Yi Feng once more, now with a look of dawning realization. It seemed they had all grasped the key point, their breathing growing heavier with excitement!
Old Guo's expression grew even more solemn, his eyes full of expectation.
This young friend's foundation and depth are impeccable. He hasn't been in this Prison Suppressing Demons for long and hasn't suffered the erosion of long years. His Dao heart and sharpness remain undiminished. Those star-like eyes are full of fighting spirit; he himself is already like a peerless divine weapon!
“Without a doubt, he is the best successor for the 'Divine Sword'!”
Hearing this, several old men were so shocked their eyes flickered!
"So it is!"
"The Divine Sword!"
"Young friend Yi is truly the hope bestowed upon us by heaven!"
Even with prior expectations, hearing Old Guo say it personally filled them with surprise, their faces flushing red with even greater excitement and joy than before, even carrying a hint of envy in their eyes.
However.
Under the gaze of the entire crowd, Yi Feng was even more bewildered.
He wasn't some young maiden, yet suddenly being stared at with such fervor by a group of old men, who kept talking with increasing enthusiasm, made his skin crawl. Listening to their excited exclamations, he felt utterly confused.
He stood there dumbly for a few breaths, his face full of perplexity.
"What are you all talking about? And what is this Divine Sword?"
Tree Venerable and the others snapped out of their reverie at his words and began explaining excitedly.
“Young friend Yi, this is your heavenly opportunity, and also our good fortune!”
"Young friend, you may not know this, but the Divine Sword is Old Guo's supreme sword technique. This sword art surpasses the world. If one can master it to great completion, it can startle heaven and earth, move even gods and ghosts to tears!"
"If young friend can learn the Divine Sword, you can break open the Prison Suppressing Demons, help us escape, and your future achievements will be truly limitless!"
...
After this exciting popular science session, the old men's faces were flushed red.
Yi Feng also began to understand the gist of it.
So, these old men wanted to teach him this so-called Divine Sword, planning to use this opportunity to break open the Prison Suppressing Demons. No wonder he had become their hope.
His plan to provoke trouble hadn't even started, yet he ended up being the one they noticed first.
What the hell kind of situation was this...
He nodded awkwardly, feeling utterly speechless.
"Ah, this..."
Feeling Old Guo's appreciative gaze, he felt increasingly awkward and helpless.
Although this old man seemed quite prestigious, apparently a top figure even within the Prison Suppressing Demons, his eyes full of the vicissitudes of life yet still revealing an extraordinary bearing—as if he really had something—this was a burden he absolutely could not accept!
What if...
If he really managed to break open the Prison Suppressing Demons, wouldn't that release all the monsters and spirits he hadn't even met yet?
Who would he fight with then?
Besides, if this sword technique was really so invincibly awesome, how could they have been locked up here?
Probably just boasting.
The more he thought about it, the less reliable it seemed. Yi Feng had no choice but to brace himself and speak up.
You've all misunderstood. I'm not from some great clan. I'm just an ordinary cultivator from a mortal star, utterly unremarkable. How could I possibly be as formidable as you think?
This Divine Sword... I probably can't learn it. You should find someone else. Since Old Guo knows the Divine Sword, why not just split open this Prison Suppressing Demons himself? Why must you pass it on to me?
As the saying goes, one should not accept rewards without merit.
Regardless of the reason, being taught a sword technique for no reason made Yi Feng feel somewhat uneasy. Even if it meant dashing these old men's hopes, he had to state the truth.
Moreover, learning someone else's sword technique would inevitably deepen his ties with these people. How could he pick a fight and seek death afterwards?
No matter what, Yi Feng could only decline.
As his words fell.
The smiles on everyone's faces were indeed awkward. They looked at each other, their expressions full of confusion.
"Not from a great clan?"
"A cultivator from a mortal star?"
"How is that possible..."
Even the unfathomable Old Guo suddenly had a solemn look in his eyes.
The previously excited atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. The group exchanged quiet glances, then looked back at Yi Feng, their eyes complicated.
That glimmer of hope that had just been brewing became dim and dull.
However, these old men were no ordinary folk. Even though the blow was significant, it wouldn't make them lose heart. They quickly rallied and began to discuss.
"Did we misjudge? That shouldn't be."
"Indeed. Young friend Yi's aura is unfathomable; he is definitely no ordinary junior!"
“Regardless of his background, his extraordinary foundation is a fact!”
Well said. A hero's origins do not matter. This young friend is absolutely the best successor for the Divine Sword!
After discussing for just a few breaths, the old women's gazes regained their firmness.
They all focused their gaze, quietly awaiting Old Guo's final word.
Old Guo also wore a resolute expression, gripping his walking stick tightly.
"You all speak reasonably."
“Regardless of background, young friend Yi is the best candidate for the Divine Sword. No one else in the Prison Suppressing Demons can compare. Over these tens of thousands of years, this old man's vitality has been declining continuously. Breaking open the Prison Suppressing Demons is now beyond my strength. We cannot wait any longer. Passing the Divine Sword on to this young friend is our last hope!”
"Regardless of success or failure, we stake everything on this one attempt!"
These words filled the place with solemnity.
Everyone's gaze turned expectantly towards Yi Feng.
At the front of the crowd, Old Guo took a firm step forward, gripping his cane. An overwhelming aura emanated from his entire body, his beard and hair dancing wildly, his eyes shining with brilliance, as if he had returned to the majestic years of his prime!
"Young friend, this old man wishes to take you as his disciple. Will you agree?"
If you become my disciple, I will impart the Divine Sword to you. If you can break open the Prison Suppressing Demons in the future, this old man will surely bestow upon you another creation, helping you become renowned throughout the star sea!
His deep voice resonated through the hall. The old men's smiles reappeared, their eyes full of the anticipation of great things to come, along with a hint of subtle envy.
This young friend's fortune is truly not insignificant.
To unexpectedly fall into misfortune and be trapped in the Prison Suppressing Demons, yet have the fortune to learn the Divine Sword... it can truly be called a blessing in disguise, enough to make others envious. With such an opportunity, becoming renowned throughout the Yuan Star in the future is just around the corner.
