The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 396 - 343: Your Wife and Daughter, Shall I Care for Them? (Part 3)

How can glory be shared?

The master and disciple chatted aimlessly for a few moments, then walked together toward the small courtyard where Zhong Ming lived.

Unlike Chu Huaixu, who was in a great mood, Li Chunsong’s face turned a bit grim at the thought of having to eat a pile of unpalatable Victory Cake later.

"You kid don’t seem to feel any pressure. You’re about to head into the Origin Spirit Realm, yet you look so relaxed," he couldn’t help but mutter.

"I’m indeed in a good mood. Who knows, maybe I’ll give you a big surprise later," Chu Huaixu began to act all mysterious.

Previously, he had drawn a High Tier Calm Mind Talisman from a treasure chest.

He planned to try it on this fifth ancestor.

During this trip to the Moon Country, Chu Huaixu realized that the high-tier combat power of the Daoist Sect was somewhat lacking.

It’s not that Jiang Zhi wasn’t strong, but he willingly fell into a lower realm and sealed his sword. Without using the Heaven and Earth Sword, he likely couldn’t defeat Xiahou Yue.

If it weren’t for the Sword Venerable breaking through to the Ninth Realm, achieving nearly world-best strength, then in the arm-wrestling contest between the great cultivators of the two countries, East Continent Mirror Country wouldn’t necessarily win.

Moreover, the Moon Country had more than just those few Ninth Realm inhabitants present in the Martial Arts Arena that day.

These were only the ones staying within the Imperial Capital.

The other three major sects within the Four Great Sects also housed Ninth Realm ancestors practicing cultivation.

Only the Daoist Sect apparently didn’t have a normal Ninth Realm powerhouse!

As for Zhong Ming’s strength, that goes without saying.

The disciples of this generation from the Junzi Temple were all outstanding talents.

Zhong Ming was the leading figure of this generation.

Many years ago, he already had the cultivation of the Ninth Realm Fourth Heaven.

After entering the Fifth Floor of the Origin Spirit Realm, he forcibly sealed the soul seed of his primordial spirit with his own body, causing himself to fall into madness.

But as mentioned earlier, after so many years, for some reason, his cultivation not only hadn’t diminished but even increased!

Even though he hadn’t been cultivating, even though he was a madman, he still managed to elevate to the Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven.

How bizarre!

Regardless, his cultivation realm was now equal to that of the National Guardian Xiahou Yue.

Moreover, Chu Huaixu personally speculated that once this fifth ancestor returned to normal, he would be much stronger than Xiahou Yue of the same realm!

Sometimes he couldn’t help but lament in his heart, "If the disciples of this generation from the Junzi Temple were all still alive, just how strong would the Daoist Sect be."

It’s unfortunate that the brilliance is often hurt, and genius is envied by heaven.

For Chu Huaixu, once the fifth ancestor regained his wits, it would indeed mean having a great pillar of support.

However, he also knew in his heart: "Zhong Ming, as an unparalleled powerhouse of the Ninth Realm, his problems certainly can’t be solved with just some High Tier Calm Mind Talisman."

"Even a top-tier Calm Mind Talisman probably wouldn’t work!"

He just hoped it could have some effect.

After entering the house, Li Chunsong and Chu Huaixu saw Zhong Ming lift his eyes to glance at them.

The old man at least no longer had saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth now.

This made him appear less foolish.

The old man continued to busy himself alone with the Victory Cake, as before.

Even with two people coming in, he seemed not to care at all.

He acted as if they didn’t exist.

It was only after finishing a batch of Victory Cake that he would urge them to eat.

"Master, you eat more, while I get busy first." Chu Huaixu laughed heartily and made his escape, demonstrating his filial piety.

He came to Zhong Ming’s side and first habitually displayed the Nan Liujing.

The Calm Mind Talisman is a special item, invisible to others.

Though it couldn’t be seen, if he did nothing and Zhong Ming suddenly improved a lot, wouldn’t it look strange?

Therefore, the cunning fox planned to first use the Dao Seal, complete a "treatment," and then secretly use the Calm Mind Talisman.

The golden characters emerged from the palm of his left hand.

Golden light began to extend forward, and Zhong Ming turned his head to look at him, seemingly feeling warm, and then continued making Victory Cake for Li Chunsong.

Chu Huaixu had come so many times and was already quite adept at it.

If it weren’t for this "patient’s" absorption limit of the "medication effect," he would have planned to come every day.

Meanwhile, Li Chunsong was using a spell to block his sense of taste and began to gulp down the food.

In fact, eating bland and dry food without any taste was actually quite painful.

The three characters of Nan Liujing shone brilliantly with golden light from Chu Huaixu’s palm.

"The power of the Dao Seal is indeed magical. As my overall strength increases, its power will also grow," he thought.

After all, this thing was likely refined using the Power of Origin and the Power of All Things, so its magical nature could be understood.

At the end of a "treatment," Chu Huaixu discreetly opened his Backpack.

He directly used the Calm Mind Talisman inside.

The effect of this special item, just like in a game, was immediate, bringing an instant and final result.

System notification sounded in Chu Huaixu’s ear immediately.

"Ding! Congratulations, target: Zhong Ming, healing progress has reached 10%!"

Right after this system prompt, he was surprised to see that the fifth ancestor, who had been making the Victory Cake, suddenly halted his hand.

He then turned his head to look at Chu Huaixu!

In his eyes, there was a hint of clarity!

But soon, it was replaced by boundless struggle!

The next moment, this great cultivator of the Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven suddenly lifted his right hand.

There clearly were numerous restrictions here, and even magical artifacts were restraining his cultivation on his limbs.

Yet at that moment, he suppressed all these things forcefully!

With a reach of his hand into the air, Chu Huaixu was pulled forward, tightly grabbed by the neck, and hoisted into the air!
