Chapter 86: Detour to the Main Hall
You You breathed out in relief, glad they’d reached an agreement. "Since you agree, let’s retrieve the legacy now." Getting those teaching materials was urgent!
"Right away!" Qiu Zhang nodded eagerly. He raised his hand to form a spell gesture, white light glowing between his fingers as he moved to touch her forehead.
You You flinched sideways. "Wait! What’s that for?"
"Legacy Transfer of Power!" Qiu Zhang paused, explaining patiently, "Don’t worry, friend. I’ll directly transmit my weaponry Cultivation Techniques into your divine sense through spellcasting."
"Huh?" So legacies worked like wireless downloads here? "Don’t you have physical manuals or jade slips?"
"Those exist too!" Qiu Zhang nodded, then grimaced. "But they’re stored in the main hall vault with other collected techniques. Even the jade plaque holding my residual soul remains there."
"You mean all non-weaponry techniques are in the main hall?" You You blinked.
"Correct. I collected many advanced techniques during my travels through the Immortal Realm, though I only mastered weaponry."
You You remembered the half-collapsed main hall. So everything was really inside.
"I know you want to spread all my collected knowledge, but with the sword energy outside…" He shook his head regretfully. "At least I can pass on my core weaponry techniques directly. My residual soul contains my complete Cultivation insights – this method’s better than jade slips!"
"What happens to you after transferring?"
"My residual soul exists to pass on these techniques. After transferring, I’ll naturally disperse." Qiu Zhang smiled peacefully. "My purpose will be fulfilled."
"That’s wasteful!" You You stepped forward urgently. "I’ve got another idea…"
"Yes?"
"Qiu Zhang… are you job-hunting?"
——————
In a cramped makeshift Passage on the Secret Realm’s right side, two figures and one floating soul squeezed through awkwardly.
The floating soul at the front pushed forward while explaining, "I made this Passage during my cave mansion construction. It leads to the side hall."
"But the jade slips are in the main hall," You You pointed out.
Qiu Zhang drooped. "True, but the sword’s in main hall too. From side hall, we might bypass the sword energy."
"Side hall’s safe then?"
"Wasn’t any sword energy there when I escaped. It spreads forward – side hall’s at the back." Qiu Zhang shuddered remembering the razor-sharp energy. His residual soul barely escaped last time.
He didn’t know why he was risking this now. But when You You asked, "Don’t you want to personally see your legacy spread?" something ignited in him. Before he knew it, he was leading them through the Passage.
"We’re here!" Qiu Zhang stopped before a stone door, pointing at a mechanism. "This opens to side hall." He floated aside nervously. "Be careful. As a residual soul, I can’t help much now."
You You spotted the protruding mechanism. "Maybe hide in this bag first?" She opened her guardian beasts bag.
Qiu Zhang’s face twitched. He wasn’t some guardian beast! "No thank you!"
Shrugging, You You activated the mechanism. The stone door groaned open – then BOOM! Something smashed the partially opened door, cracks spiderwebbing across it.
Familiar slicing sounds roared outside – denser sword energy than before!
You You: "…"
Feng Rong: "…"
So much for avoiding sword energy.
"You were right! I’ll squeeze in!" Qiu Zhang zipped into the guardian beasts bag.
CRASH! The door shattered, unleashing scorching heat. Feng Rong immediately shielded You You with a barrier.
Beyond lay a ruined courtyard bathed in eerie red light. Invisible flames licked the air as crimson streaks slashed down thunderously – red sword energy!
"Since when does sword energy come in Colors?!" You You gasped.
"Chiyang Sword Energy!" Feng Rong paled, pulling her closer. "This is dangerous!"
The energy surged toward them. Feng Rong swept You You into his arms, dodging while maintaining his barrier. The heat seared their skin as energy bolts demolished their escape route.
With no retreat, Feng Rong charged toward the main hall’s source. Flames erupted from his hands, deflecting red energy as they burst into the glowing hall.
At the center floated an ancient long sword radiating bloody light – each glow transforming into deadly energy bolts.
Feng Rong’s breath caught. "Chili Sword!"
