Historical Records of the Immortal Sects
"Immortal Master, I'd like to try."
As they were talking, the senior disciple of Ancient Cloud Temple came up.
His face was full of eager anticipation.
Seeing this, Fang Zelin gestured for the other person to give it a try.
Upon Ming Ji this, Mingji immediately stepped forward and reached out to grab the flying sword in front of him.
Before his hand could even touch the flying sword, it trembled and dodged to the side.
Ming Ji was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, probably not expecting that the flying sword would actually evade him.
After regaining her senses, Ming Ji continued to reach out to grab it.
This time, he used a little Law Technique.
However, the flying sword was dodging Ming Ji, its agility in moving left and right making it impossible for Ming Ji to catch it.
However, since the flying sword was uncontrolled, Ming Ji deliberately used a little trick and successfully caught it.
However, as soon as the flying sword entered his hand, the light on its blade immediately dimmed, turning it into an ordinary, unremarkable mortal sword.
Ming Ji was stunned by what he saw; he didn't understand why this was happening.
After grasping the sword in his hand and swinging it around, the sword no longer possessed its previous power.
"This flying sword has gained much more sentience; if you only use brute force, it won't resonate with your mind."
Upon seeing this, Fang Zelin immediately spoke up.
Ming Ji reluctantly put the flying sword back into its case.
The flying sword had barely been set down when it immediately emitted the same spiritual light as before.
Seeing this, Ming Ji's expression stiffened slightly, feeling as if the flying sword was provoking him.
Fang Zelin glanced at the flying sword indifferently, his expression quite calm.
He extended his sword finger and gently tapped the flying sword from a distance.
The flying sword reacted instantly, flying out of its case and then, under Fang Zelin's sword finger, began to twirl and fly around.
It occasionally emitted a crisp, clear sword-like sound, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy.
His demeanor was completely different from when he was under Ming Ji's control.
Upon seeing this scene, the disciples immediately understood that in order to control this flying sword, they would have to learn the Sword Riding Technique that their senior had mentioned.
Fang Zelin briefly demonstrated how to control the sword before retrieving it and then began teaching the disciples of Ancient Cloud Temple the essentials of sword control.
The Sword Riding Technique is actually not difficult; all you need to do is to be in sync with the flying sword.
However, how to do it is quite difficult.
Fortunately, Bearing the Heavens was there and knew the key points.
Fang Zelin spoke to each of his disciples one by one.
The disciples of Ancient Cloud Temple listened very attentively, taking notes of all the key points Fang Zelin made.
"Once you've mastered this technique, you won't need to learn the art of cloud-riding anymore; this flying sword will be able to carry you across the skies."
Watching his disciples sit down cross-legged, trying to comprehend the methods he had just been taught.
Fang Zelin walked alongside the group, encouraging his disciples as he went.
Upon hearing this, all the disciples were overjoyed.
The Law Technique of flying through the clouds is not an easy spell to learn.
If we could avoid learning this Law Technique, that would be a great thing.
Normally, my schedule is packed with spiritual practice.
It would be best if we could free up some time to do other things.
After Fang Zelin finished speaking, he sat down on the high platform, took out an ancient book, and began to read it.
The ancient books in his hands were some historical records from the Ancient Cloud Temple.
The historical records of the immortal realm are different from those of the mortal realm.
The Historical Records of the Immortal Sects record the changes within the sect, as well as some great calamities.
Even the immortal sects have their share of calamities.
Normally, Fang Zelin didn't know much about the past of the Immortal Sect, but now he could take a good look and learn more.
"An overseas Aquatic Race demon kingdom?"
Fang Zelin turned a page, looked at the Records of the Grand Historian in front of him, and couldn't help but frown.
The overseas Aquatic Race mentioned here reminded Fang Zelin of the Aquatic Race he had encountered in the Dragon Palace last time.
Judging from their appearance, they had come here intending to seize the Human Race Karmic Fortune in the Great Jin Dynasty.
However, he was scared off by Fang Zelin.
After that, they never saw the other party again, presumably they had returned directly.
However, this also made Fang Zelin aware that there were Aquatic Race overseas.
"Fellow Daoist, you also know about Aquatic Race from overseas?"
Master Qianji came to observe his disciples' cultivation progress.
Seeing that his disciples were all diligently studying the methods taught by Fang Zelin, he felt relieved and went to approach them.
Upon seeing Fang Zelin holding the Records of the Grand Historian and noticing the mention of Aquatic Race on it, his expression immediately hardened slightly.
"I did encounter a foreign Aquatic Race in the Dragon Palace before. At that time, it was inciting some of the dragons in the Dragon Palace to create a great flood that inundated Human Race cities."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin briefly recounted the situation at the time.
Qianji's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. "This was just that Aquatic Race's own idea. There aren't any other overseas Aquatic Race involved, are there?"
Seeing how seriously the other party was asking the question, Fang Zelin couldn't help but think back carefully.
"There is indeed only that one demon; there are no other overseas Aquatic Race."
"That's alright then."
Master Qianji breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist, are you very wary of these overseas Aquatic Race?"
Fang Zelin found it rather strange to see Qianji looking like this.
"The Aquatic Race overseas—just beneath the sea alone—are countless demon kingdoms. Each of these demon kingdoms is inhabited by Demon Race with extremely high cultivation levels. If they were to make a move, it could unleash a catastrophe."
Qianji carefully explained the overseas Aquatic Race.
Overall, the outer sea is too vast, and the number of aquatic Demon Race is countless.
Therefore, calling it a catastrophe is not an exaggeration.
"Has a major battle like this ever happened before?"
Fang Zelin, thinking of the vastness of the sea, was immediately somewhat alarmed.
"There is no record of this in the Records of the Grand Historian. However, beyond the outer sea, there are other land routes, but those places are teeming with demons. The demons there have no choice but to seize things, using seizing as the foundation of their cultivation."
"At certain times, the demons on that place will swarm out to seize everything in their path for their own cultivation."
"Originally, countless immortal islands and sects stood on the islands in the outer sea, but after repeated battles with these demons and monsters, they became exhausted and the immortal islands gradually fell into the hands of the demons and monsters."
"The immortal sects on those immortal islands were originally established to resist those demons. Unfortunately, in the end, countless immortal islands sank, and all kinds of immortal scriptures and supreme techniques were burned."
"That demon even created a Law Treasure called the Human Seed Bag, which contained Human Race and used their blood and bones to practice evil arts."
At this point, Master Qianji couldn't help but frown.
He had only read about these things in historical records, but he had never actually witnessed them firsthand.
Compared to the historical records of the immortal realm, the records of suffering and devastation in the mortal realm seem somewhat like child's play.
