Chapter 464: 464: One Step to Godhood

Someone had shouted from behind Tan Bingyu. When she turned around to see who it was, the iciness within her eyes had deepened upon seeing the one who had arrived. The ones who arrived are Supreme Elder Yi and Huashen Roushen. The one who spoke is the Supreme Elder who didn’t have the face to look at this young disciple whom he had abandoned at that time. They had overheard a bit of their conversation on the way.

It wasn’t only Tan Bingyu whose face turned ugly upon their arrival, Peak Master Guan and Sect Master Wan Yuyan’s expressions were also not good. If it’s the usual visit and Tan Bingyu isn’t around they would be able to hold back their tempers.

However, this time the situation isn’t great. A child they treated no different from a daughter wanted to cut off all relations with them and it was all because of what happened in the past. They wanted to convince her that they didn’t abandon them. But seeing her reaction, Tan Bingyu doesn’t seem to believe them much.

Sect Master Wan Yuyan spoke with a respectful tone yet his voice is as cold as glaciers.

"Why are you here, Supreme Elder Yi?" Wan Yuyan asked.

Supreme Elder Yi answers, "Still not calling me master anymore. It’s been a decade, Yan’er."

Tan Bingyu questions, "What do you mean that they are telling the truth?"

"When they said that the Three Swords Peak was sealed and when your Uncle Master was imprisoned in the back mountain of the sect for years. This is true. As I am the one who ordered that to be done," Supreme Elder Wan Yuyi said.

Supreme Elder Yi glanced at his senior brother who gave him a nod. He didn’t hesitate to kneel down before Tan Bingyu.

"I’m sorry. You don’t need to forgive me. Given the chance to choose again, I might still choose the same thing. As the Sect Master at that time, after losing all the elders above me and the deaths of most talented disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect was something I needed to hide for the people outside not to learn about it."

"With our remaining strength, we might be able to save the Hidden Tan Clan but at the same time if we are targeted afterwards, our sect can only perish. As the Sect Master, that is something I cannot bear to do. I can only choose to abandon you. At the same time, I cannot lose the Three Swords Peak and my disciple, Wan Yuyan."

"It was all me. I was the one who sealed the mountain. Also the person who injured your uncle mastered that time and locked him at the back mountain. I do not regret this choice, I just feel guilty for not choosing to save you at that time."

"If you want someone to blame, make it me alone! All others who made a move at that time were forced by my commands."

The words of Supreme Elder Wan Yuyi echo in the ears of Tan Bingyu. She couldn’t believe that all this time her master and her peak suffered just because they wanted to save her. Even her Uncle Master was injured and chained as punishment. Even though she can understand the Supreme Elder’s choice, the fact that she and her family had suffered was also a fact that cannot be erased.

Tan Bingyu spoke, "At that time, my mother chose to sacrifice herself and betray her own clan just to let us escape. My grandmother’s cultivation was almost crippled when she forcibly opened a space portal just to make a way for our Hidden Tan Clan to escape."

"My grandfather almost died and my father suffered illness at heart with heart demons because of what happened to my mother and grandmother. At that time, more than half of the members of the Hidden Tan Clan were killed that day. We were forced to leave outside the Cultivation Realm as an exiled clan."

"Do you think a simple sorry would be enough!"

Due to rage, Tan Bingyu’s Nine Yin Meridian physique had activated the first level and even got stronger. The frost had spread widely in the whole mountain making the land, trees and everything in the Three Swords Peak covered in thick ice. As for Peak Master Guan, Sect Master Wan, Mo Jue, Fu Lili and Qi Shiru, they were protected intentionally by Tan Bingyu and only needed to make a move to save and bring the other disciples off the mountain.

Supreme Elder Wan Yuyi and Huashen Roushen were stunned to see that such young disciples like Tan Bingyu reached Peak Yuanying Realm in just a few decades. Normally, cultivators would need hundreds of years to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. But the lady in front of them didn’t even have an age beyond hundreds like the elders of the Heavenly Swords Sects.

Huashen Roushen mumbled in disbelief, "How can this be possible? Her cultivation is already at Peak Yuanying Realm! Just one step to becoming a god!"

"Yuanying Realm!"

They were surprised as they knew the extent of Tan Bingyu’s talent. They weren’t surprised when Yue Xuexia happens to be a young goddess at such an age as they believed that she is an reincarnated immortal. But Tan Bingyu is definitely not like the Moon Goddess. She is just like them, an ordinary cultivator training to become an immortal.

How can she suddenly reach Yuanying in just a few years? However, what they didn’t know was that it was just in recent years that Tan Bingyu’s cultivation had been promoted fast. She was still in Qi Refinement Realm even after Yue Xuexia had woken her up from her slumber and helped her awaken her special physique, the Nine Yin Meridian.

She had only reached her current cultivation thanks to the sea monster’s meat, her mistress cooking, the Moon Goddess blessing, the countless opportunities to fight by staying beside her mistress and the pills she ate along the way. Aside from her hard work and diligence, it was all thanks to her mistress’s support along the way.

A lot of elders and disciples, among them Wan Yuren, who had just arrived and noticed the commotion happening at the Three Swords Peak.

The Sword God in Wan Yuren’s body was amazed when he felt the powerful surge of Ice elements in the area.

{Such a powerful ice elemental energy! Protect yourself with qi. This cold qi is not an ordinary one. You would freeze to death if you are exposed to it, especially for those in the Qi Refinement Refinement Realm!}

"Those in the Qi Refinement Realm do not approach the Three Swords Peak. The others keep yourself protected by your qi. This Cold qi can freeze anything as long as you are exposed to it! The Sword God said this!" Head Disciple Wan Yuren said.

The elders beside him immediately followed his words. It can be said that aside from their Ancestor, Roushen. The Sword God is also extremely respected in the Heavenly Sword Sect. This is thanks to him giving access to his inheritance altar allowing their disciples to grow in the path of Sword Dao. Though they couldn’t receive his true teachings, like what Yue Xuexia had said before, ordinary techniques in this Sword God’s eyes can be considered treasures to this generation of cultivators.

After all, a lot of inheritance was lost after ancestors above the Huashen Realm had all disappeared from this world and no one knew where they had gone.

The elders commanded, "Disciple at Qi Refinement realm, retreat. The others follow us to the third peak and surround your whole body with qi! If you cannot hold on for long, go back as well."

"Yes, Elder!" The disciples collectively answered.

It was when they reached the peak of the third mountain that they understood where the cold qi was coming from. At this moment the peak of the Three Swords Mountain was no different from an Ice world and the center of all this commotion is none other than Tan Bingyu.

Wan Yuren immediately recognized the lady at the center with long white hair surrounded with powerful ice elemental qi that deters even the Supreme Elder. If not for the protection of Ancestor Roushen, his grandmaster would have turned into ice like the trees and the stones along the way.

After observing the area for a bit, Wan Yuren noticed that Peak Master Guan, his master, Mo Jue, Fu Lili and QI Shiru were unharmed by the frost coming from Tan Bingyu.

He couldn’t help but ask this question to the Sword God, "Master Rong, how come my master and others are alright even without Qi protecting their bodies?"

{This is quite a surprise. This lady had precise control over her aura. Those she didn’t wish to freeze will be unfazed by her aura. This little one only needs one push to reach Huashen Realm. Her talent is only second to the young goddess from before.}
