Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Da Chu certainly wouldn't really put in the effort!

Once the war breaks out in South Border, the battle between the Three Great Sects and the Paperman Sect would mean... Da Chu reaps the benefits.

"The Ruyi Order may be a Holy Object, but it's not omnipotent."

Xie Xuanyi said slowly, "To consume longevity, to spy on heaven's secrets, to glimpse even a shred is already the Dao's generosity... Hence, you simply discerned the 'Daoist Master's' appearance, provided a portrait, which was already a gravely harmful act."

Chen Jingxuan raised an eyebrow.

Xie Xuanyi lightly dipped his fingertip in tea water, slowly sketching.

Tea imbued with Divine Soul Power coalesced into lines in the air—

The visage of Lu Yuzhen materialized before the two of them.

"Nevertheless, the imperial command is supreme, and stabilizing South Border is of utmost importance."

Xie Xuanyi sighed, "So you decided to further consume your longevity, at the risk of severe illness, to spy on the Daoist Master's name, realm."

The portrait was settled.

Xie Xuanyi then wrote numbers out of thin air.

Lu Yuzhen.

Yang God.

Xie Xuanyi waved his sleeve, and the tea water fell, the portrait and handwriting all dispersed.

"Is this sufficient?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled, "If it's not enough, State Preceptor, you can always add some 'vague' information, after all, when divining heaven's will, there's no such thing as perfection."

"..."

Chen Jingxuan's expression was complicated as he looked at the youth before him, silent for a long while.

After a little while,

The Little National Master laughed and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Xie, it still has to be you."

"No need to thank me,"

Xie Xuanyi said indifferently, "The 'Myriad Sentient Forms' you gave me is quite useful. I should be the one thanking you. If Da Chu indeed uses the power of the Three Great Sects to eliminate Lu Yuzhen, I would actually be pleased to see it happen."

"Hmm... Why do you say that?"

Chen Jingxuan slightly raised an eyebrow.

Xie Xuanyi, of course, couldn't possibly reveal all the original causes and effects between himself and Lu Yuzhen.

He looked down thoughtfully, speaking earnestly, "This person has a profound realm, unreasonable, showing signs of 'detachment.' If Da Chu doesn't interfere with effort, I'm afraid even the combined forces of South Border's Three Great Sects might not necessarily match the Paperman Sect."

Chen Jingxuan nodded in agreement.

"This case file, with a bit of embellishment, can be presented."

Chen Jingxuan said softly, "Mr. Xie, you've saved me a decade's worth of longevity consumption."

"A decade?"

Xie Xuanyi laughed, "Is it really that long?"

"A decade in a flash, nothing more."

"To spy on destiny, one must bear such a price."

Chen Jingxuan, looking at the shadow in his tea, murmured, "The first time I heard of the Paperman Sect, I tried 'divination.' Lu Yuzhen, this person is shrouded in great karma, difficult to divine. To spy on him... requires at least a decade's worth of longevity."

"If that's the case, when we meet again one day, you'd better thank me properly."

Xie Xuanyi stood up with a smile, this affair concluded, he prepared to leave.

"Mr. Xie."

Chen Jingxuan called out, stopping Xie Xuanyi.

In the Ruyi Order Illusion Realm, Xie Xuanyi, wearing a hat, paused slightly.

"The one who bought the 'Sword Qi Chime Array' at a high price in the Fangyuan neighborhood was Prince Jiangning, Xie Sheng."

Chen Jingxuan said slowly, "For this opening of Da Sui Sword Palace, Xie Sheng wishes to join Lotus Peak and become the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven."

Xie Xuanyi sighed lightly, asking, "State Preceptor, what is the purpose of telling me this?"

"..."

Chen Jingxuan silently watched the retreating figure.

"The Xuanshui Cave Heaven, which opens only once every sixty years, is said to have extremely beautiful scenery, with the world's most flourishing lotus scene. In addition, Xuanshui Cave Heaven is the proof of identity for generations of Da Sui Sword Masters."

Chen Jingxuan suddenly spoke, "This cave heaven was something an old friend of mine never claimed. He left early, thus leaving the cave without a master... However, if he left a line of disciples behind, that cave heaven would naturally, by rights, belong to a disciple under his command."

"So?"

Xie Xuanyi turned his head slightly.

In the Ruyi Order, silence lingered.

"In my heart... the Xie Family of Jiangning, there's only one Sword Immortal."

Chen Jingxuan's expression was full of regret.

He softly spoke the name, "Xie Xuanyi."

Xie Xuanyi remained silent.

"There are too many trivial matters in the Imperial City, Chen cannot extricate himself."

The Little National Master stood up and gave a distant bow in front of the jade desk, "If possible, please visit Xuanshui Cave Heaven on my behalf."
