The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1593 - 1590: Cultivation of Blood Sea Seven Steps!

Chapter 1593: Chapter 1590: Cultivation of Blood Sea Seven Steps!

Lin Bai, with an innocent face, looked at Gui Jing. This secret departure from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect without informing Sect Leader Sword Master was only because Lin Bai truly had urgent matters to handle in Haizhen City.

Lin Bai asked, "Senior Gui Jing, how did you suddenly come to the border of the Linhai Dynasty?"

Gui Jing’s face darkened, and he said coldly, "It’s all because of you. A month ago, Sect Leader Sword Master discovered you were not in the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and gave me a thorough scolding before ordering me to find you and bring you back!"

"I was almost going crazy searching for you within the Sect. Then I unexpectedly heard news that Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Master, Dongfang Bai, had returned to Haizhen City with his wife, Yue Qing."

"Heh, Dongfang Bai, you really have some skills, even getting your hands on Yue Qing?"

Gui Jing said with a playful laugh.

Lin Bai coughed dryly, smiling awkwardly.

Gui Jing’s expression turned cold: "Enough with the jokes, come back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect with me!"

Without further regard for Lin Bai, Gui Jing grabbed Lin Bai’s collar and dragged him onto his Spirit Boat.

Lin Bai did not resist. Since he was returning to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect anyway, it would be much safer to travel with Gui Jing.

Gui Jing’s original intent was to come to Haizhen City to find Lin Bai. Now that he had found Lin Bai in the borderlands of the Linhai Dynasty, there was naturally no need to go to Haizhen City, so they returned the way they came!

The Spirit Boat sailed through the vast expanses of the Lingnan Continent for nearly half a month before finally returning to the territory of the Litian Dynasty.

During these half a month, Lin Bai consulted Gui Jing about many issues related to cultivation while on the Spirit Boat. Gui Jing did not withhold anything and passed on all he could teach to Lin Bai!

Gui Jing piloted the Spirit Boat, flew into the Jianyun Mountain Range, and returned to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

"These coming days, stay obediently within Little Spirit Stream. I will go to see Sect Leader Sword Master. If, after a few days, he summons you and you’re not within the Sect...

"Dongfang Bai, not only will you be in trouble, but I will also be implicated because of you."

"Understand?" Gui Jing said to Lin Bai with a smile.

Whether it was the Sect Leader Sword Master or Gui Jing, Lin Bai could tell that both were concerned for his own good. They feared that if he carelessly went out, he might be nipped in the bud by others.

After all, the identity of the Junior Sword Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was too conspicuous, and Lin Bai’s cultivation was only at the Great Perfection of the Yin Saint Realm, which was the lowest amongst the five Junior Sword Masters!

Therefore, neither Gui Jing nor Sect Leader Sword Master were unwilling to let Lin Bai out, they only hoped that Lin Bai could breakthrough to the Yangshen Realm and have the power to protect himself in the Lingnan Continent before venturing out to wander.

"Please be assured, Peak Master Gui Jing, I probably won’t have any significant matters recently and won’t leave the Sect," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

"If that is the case, then all the better."

Having said that, Gui Jing sent Lin Bai back to Little Spirit Stream and then went straight to Sword Master Peak.

"Senior Brother Dongfang is back?"

"Senior Brother Dongfang, Senior Gui Jing has been looking for you like crazy over the past month..."

"Senior Brother Dongfang, it seems that Peak Master Gui Jing was urgently looking for you. Now that you’ve returned, are you going to pay a visit to Senior Gui Jing?"

As soon as Lin Bai entered Little Spirit Stream, he saw several Sword Cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain practicing there. Upon seeing Lin Bai’s return, they immediately got up and greeted him with smiles.

Ever since the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain returned to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Lin Bai had them all stay in Little Spirit Stream. After all, the place was large enough to accommodate thousands of people without feeling crowded.

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "I’ve already met with Senior Gui Jing, and there’s nothing serious. Rest assured. How have you all been during the months I’ve been away?"

"Heh, Senior Brother Dongfang, life in the Sect is naturally much more relaxed than in the Hanhai Demon Kingdom."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Dongfang. We’ve been eating well, drinking well, having a good time."

"Although everything is fine, there has still been no news from the Valley of Demons..."

These Sword Cultivators said one after another.

"The Valley of Demons, since they have already hidden themselves and even the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect can’t find them, it will not be easy for us to locate them either. Don’t be anxious, let’s take our time to search," Lin Bai said softly, offering comfort.

"I have some matters to attend to; I’m going back to rest first,"

Lin Bai said with a light chuckle.

"Bidding farewell to Senior Brother Dongfang..." These groups of Sword Cultivators all stood up and saluted Lin Bai with their fists.

Lin Bai nodded with a smile, a joyful expression on his face, and felt exceptionally happy inside as he returned to the Little Spirit Stream and saw the Sword Cultivators who had once followed him into battles everywhere.

Back in his own cabin, Lin Bai saw that everything was as before.

After resting for a while, Lin Bai shut his door tightly and took out the "Blood Sea Seven Steps" which he had acquired from the so-called East Mountain Elder from his Storage Bag, silently flipping through it.

Half a day later, having read through "Blood Sea Seven Steps" several times back and forth, Lin Bai looked puzzled. His brows were tightly knit then relaxed, displaying a strange expression.

"This Blood Sea Seven Steps is quite extraordinary, created by a Warrior known as Tiancan Old Monster,"

Lin Bai muttered to himself.

Tiancan Old Monster, once a formidable warrior on the Lingnan Continent who struck terror into the hearts at the mention of his name during his youth. At that time, he defeated everyone Under Heaven, with no one left to challenge him. However, his sharpness and rebellious nature eventually led to a joint siege by more than ten Sects. Although he fought his way out, gravely injured, both his arms were severally cut off.

With Tiancan Old Monster’s strength and cultivation, regenerating his arms would not have been difficult, but he chose not to do so. Instead, after his crushing defeat and deep reflection, he created another Ultimate Technique, the "Blood Sea Seven Steps".

After inventing the "Blood Sea Seven Steps", Tiancan Old Monster re-emerged in Lingnan. Within just one year, he completely obliterated all the Sects that had once besieged him.

After the destruction of each Sect, many Lingnan Martial Artists who visited the site would discover a footprint on the ground as immense as that of a God!

And it was then that the "Blood Sea Seven Steps" became infamous across Lingnan.

"This Blood Sea Seven Steps does seem to suit the Slaughter Comprehension; I might as well give its cultivation a try," Lin Bai said with a light chuckle.

Shortly thereafter, Lin Bai’s gaze became focused as he started to silently delve into the mysteries of the Blood Sea Seven Steps.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and the Sword Master didn’t summon Lin Bai.

Instead, today, Lin Bai heard an angry roar coming from inside Little Spirit Stream as he was in his cabin.

"Let’s go!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons and follow me!"

"Mad, I must cripple those bastards from Qimen!"

"Those who fear death stay behind, those who don’t, follow me!"

"..."

There was a raucous noise within Little Spirit Stream, awakening Lin Bai from his closed-door cultivation.

Lin Bai recognized the voice as belonging to Nie Xiong.

Lin Bai slightly pushed open the door to see more than twenty Sword Cultivators, each holding a Sharp Sword, preparing to leave Little Spirit Stream with an angry look on their faces.

Lin Bai frowned, not understanding what they intended to do.

"Nie Xiong?" On closer inspection, the leader of this group turned out to be none other than Nie Xiong.

"What are they up to?"

Lin Bai was slightly startled, his gaze sharpening, and after these more than twenty Sword Cultivators followed Nie Xiong out, Lin Bai lifted his feet and slowly followed them.
