The Great Sun Heavenly Pool carried Jiang Ding in a frantic flight.
"Yue, don't distrust me so much."
"Do I really look like someone who would casually beat a Great Sun Sword Son to death? Surely not?"
Xi Yuan smiled bitterly.
Clang!
A resplendent sword light bloomed, forming a net of Destruction Rule that forcibly drove the Great Sun Heavenly Pool back and forced it to return to Xi Yuan's side.
"Xi Yuan,"
"Sword Master, it has been a long time."
Yue looked somewhat embarrassed as she curiously glanced around. "Where is this? How come I have never been here before?"
"Yue."
"This is our homeland."
Xi Yuan's voice unconsciously softened.
Just like the current Great Sun Sword Son, Yue had always accompanied him throughout his boyhood and youth. Unlike Hei's cold, formless presence, she had been different, and so the feelings between them had been different as well.
"Yue, open the Heavenly Pool's core."
Xi Yuan did not reminisce, instead ordering, "I obtained an Immortal Technique Fragment. I intend to place it into the Great Sun Heavenly Pool furnace to nourish that Immortal Slaying Art jointly created by the successive Sword Masters. It should provide a great boost."
"Yue, don't let this brat comprehend it. I don't like him. I don't want to be his little treasure-delivery boy."
"Also, the Eastern Extreme Demonic Sect's shared inheritance is utterly detestable. I truly want to strangle him to death right now. If a new Great Sun Sword Son appeared now, even if he were a little worse than this one, I would strangle him immediately."
"This is infuriating! The inheritance of the past patriarchs..."
Xi Yuan kept chattering, his expression agonized beyond measure.
"An immortal technique?!!!"
Yue froze.
Yet she happily opened the core furnace of the Great Sun Heavenly Pool.
