Chapter 389: Chapter 389 Supreme Elder

He glanced at Lin Yi, then shifted his gaze to Half-Saint Xuan Yu. A glint of sharp light flashed suddenly in the eyes of the gray-robed elder, "The events that happened here today, it’s best not to tell anyone, lest the Undying Blood Clan find out. They will definitely mark this young man for assassination."

Beside him, Half-Saint Xuan Yu immediately felt an overwhelming pressure, to the point where even he felt like he was suffocating.

Feeling this pressure, Lin Yi quickly bowed to the gray-robed elder, saying, "This humble one will certainly keep the secret."

Lin Yi also felt a sense of alarm. He hadn’t expected that the cultivation of this Supreme Elder was so terrifying, that even Half-Saint Xuan Yu couldn’t withstand his might.

Wasn’t it said that this Supreme Elder had suffered a severe injury and was recuperating here?

If he hadn’t been injured, just how terrifying would his strength have been?

Lin Yi even wondered if this Supreme Elder could potentially be a Sword Saint?

However, after giving this instruction, the gray-robed elder returned to the spot where he had been sitting and sat down again, concealing all his aura as if he had become a stone sculpture once more.

Seeing the gray-robed elder transform back into a "statue," a look of astonishment appeared on Lin Yi’s face, "This Supreme Elder’s strength is too formidable. Why hadn’t I heard of him before within the Holy Land?"

Unexpectedly, even Half-Saint Xuan Yu shook his head, saying, "The true identity of this Supreme Elder is not very clear to me."

"I only know that he is one of the longest-living figures in the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, but because he was severely injured, he had elected to seal himself and rarely shows himself."

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but marvel internally. The Heavenly Sword Holy Land truly lived up to its reputation as a Sacred Land in the Eastern Domain, truly a lair of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

"There’s still some time before the Sword Storage Tower closes. You can use the remaining time to continue exploring around in here," said Half-Saint Xuan Yu.

Lin Yi nodded. He had spent less than ten days comprehending the Wutian Sword Stele, and there were still over twenty days left of the one-month deadline.

That meant he still had plenty of time to continue his exploration in the Sword Storage Tower.

What was known was that within this tower, there were many insights and notes penned by the many Sword Saints and Half-Saints of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land. These writings were of immense benefit to any Sword Cultivator.

Thus, during the following period, Lin Yi leafed through numerous Sword Manuals and notes, making considerable progress in his understanding of the Sword Dao.

A month later.

Everyone was transported out of the Sword Storage Tower.

The top ten Inner Sect Saints, without exception, had all benefited greatly from their time in the Sword Storage Tower.

Though not as much as Lin Yi.

But compared to their state before entering the tower, there was undoubtedly a huge improvement.

"This trip to the Sword Storage Tower, I believe you all had great gains. Once you return, digest well what you’ve acquired here, striving to reach higher levels," said Half-Saint Xuan Yu.

Everyone bowed to Half-Saint Xuan Yu and then left their separate ways.

Just when Lin Yi was also about to leave the Sword Storage Tower, Half-Saint Xuan Yu called out to him, "Xu Qing, come with me."

Lin Yi was startled, "Saint Elder, is there something?"

Half-Saint Xuan Yu said, "Jian Feidao has returned to the Holy Land, I’ll take you to meet him now."

Lin Yi’s eyes brightened and then he bowed to Half-Saint Xuan Yu, "Then I am grateful to you, senior."

Since entering the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, he had heard of Jian Feidao’s great reputation but had never had the chance to meet him in person.

Now, he finally could meet him.

Following Half-Saint Xuan Yu, Lin Yi arrived in the Central Holy Temple.

Inside the grand temple, the Heavenly Sword Saint Master and several Half-Saints were all present.

However, besides them, there was also a mysterious figure inside the temple.

This mysterious figure, a man in black clothing, stood in a slightly peculiar posture; his hands were clasped behind his back, his spine was straight, and his body was faced away from everyone, exuding a compelling aura.

He seemed quite out of place compared to the others.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown secretly. Could this posturing figure be the Legendary Half-Saint Jian Feidao?

He seemed quite different from the hermit-like image Lin Yi had envisioned.

Lin Yi stopped walking, bowed to the Heavenly Sword Saint Master and the several Half-Saints, "Greetings to the Holy Master, and the Saint Elders."

"No need for excessive formality."

The Heavenly Sword Saint Master nodded slightly, then smilingly looked at Lin Yi, asking, "Xu Qing, did you gain anything significant from your trip to the Sword Storage Tower?"

Jian Feidao, Black Sword Half-Saint, and Ming Guang Half-Saint all looked at Lin Yi interestedly as well, wanting to know what significant opportunities Lin Yi had obtained in the Sword Storage Tower.

Lin Yi said, "This junior has perused many Sword Manuals and notes left by the saints of the Holy Land, and feels that his realm in the Sword Dao has improved quite a bit."

However, the response from Lin Yi did not satisfy the Heavenly Sword Saint Master and the several Half-Saints.

"Did you not ascend to the fourth level of the Sword Storage Tower to see that Wutian Sword Stele?"

The Heavenly Sword Saint Master frowned.

"Of course I did," said Half-Saint Xuan Yu, about to reveal the truth when he remembered the warning of the Supreme Elder. Ultimately, he held back what he was about to say and sighed, "He just didn’t succeed."

Hearing this, disappointment appeared on Jian Feidao’s face right away, "If you managed to reach the Eighth Level of the Sword Realm, it shows that your talent in the Sword Dao is not bad. I had thought you would have a good chance at comprehending the Wutian Sword Stele. I didn’t expect you to fail."

"With that, you are still quite far from the standards I need for taking a disciple," Jian Feidao said, shaking his head, evidently not very satisfied with Lin Yi as a disciple.
