After they reached an agreement, they continued their journey while riding on the gray wolf. However, they do not get along naturally with each other as they did in the past. If Yang Ye did not speak, then the woman would absolutely not speak before him, and Yang Ye was a little helpless against this.
Something worth mentioning was that Yang Ye's cultivation had increased. He arrived at the eighth rank of the Mortal Realm of the seventh rank. As for the reason for his sudden increase, according to Yang Ye's conjecture, it was probably due to the effects of that Union Fruit. However, he was unsure, and he wanted to ask the woman behind him about it, yet he was afraid that it would cause the atmosphere between them to become embarrassing. So, he could only bury this question in his heart.
The two traveled for more than four hours, crossed several small mountains, and arrived near a mountain. It was a perpendicular mountain that stood in front of them, and shot up into the clouds. They were completely unable to see the peak as they stared from the ground.
"There's a house there!" Suddenly, Yang Ye looked towards the foot of the mountain, and he pointed to a cottage in the distance while his voice carried a pleasant surprise within.
As he stared at the cottage, the white-clothed woman frowned. However, he did not stop Yang Ye from rushing there. Although he felt that there was something strange about it, they had no other way to leave this place right now.
The two of them had just arrived at the hut when they saw the cottage door open slowly, and then a ragged black-robed old man came out from inside.
The old man was very old, very old, and this was Yang Ye's first impression upon seeing the old man. The old man's face was filled with wrinkles, and he only had a few strands of hair on his head, so it was no exaggeration to call the old man bald. The old man propped himself up with a cane and walked slowly as if a gust of wind could push him down.
A wisp of surprise flashed across the old man's eyes as he looked at Yang Ye and the white-clothed woman, but his gaze quickly recovered to normal, and then he propped himself up with a cane as he walked slowly towards Yang Ye and the woman.
When he saw this, Yang Ye suppressed the shock in his heart and hurriedly descended from the wolf to greet the old man. He bowed to the old man and said, “Senior, we both fell from the Death Abyss, and we arrived here by chance. May I know who Senior is?
Although the old man in front of him looked extremely weak, Yang Ye had no choice but to be careful. Because this old man actually lived under the Death Abyss, so how could he be an ordinary person?
When he saw Yang Ye acting so courteously, the old man's wrinkled face showed a slight gentle smile. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, and he seemed to have seen something unbelievable. He looked at Yang Ye for a while before he retracted his gaze and said, “It has been years since someone came here! Since you two can arrive here, then it can be considered as fate. Waita minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man propped himself up with a cane and turned around before walking to the cottage.
As he looked at the old man, Yang Ye turned to look at the white-clothed woman who had arrived by his side, and he said, "Qingshi, are you able to see through his strength?"
After that happened, the woman was unable to resist Yang Ye's repeated requests and told him her name.
Su Qingshi glanced at Yang Ye. Clearly, he was unfamiliar with Yang Ye calling him this way. However, he was not against it either. He was silent for a moment before he shook his head and said, “I feel like he is just like us, and his cultivation has been sealed. He's a regular guy. However, there seems to be something strange about him!”
Yang Ye was just about to say something when the old man came out once again from inside the cottage. However, at this moment, there was a black colored scroll and a pair of bracelets flickering with a colorful light in his hand.
While Yang Ye was confused by this, the old man had arrived before them, and he blew the dust on the black scroll in his hand before giving it to Yang Ye. He said, “After letting the dust pile up for so long, I took some time to find it. I've noticed you practice the sword, and this 'Switch Control Technique' should be useful to you.
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the white-clothed woman by Yang Ye's side and said, “Since you are his Dao Partner, then it is not good for me to allow you to return empty-handed. I'll give you this pair of Illusory Crystal Bracelets!
"I'm not his Dao Partner!" Su Qingshi's eyebrows shot up. If this old man did not look like he was halfway to the coffin, he would probably move against him.
Yang Ye was afraid that there would be a conflict between Su Qingshi and the old man, so he hurriedly stood in front of the old man and bowed to the old man before he said, “Senior, please, there is no benefit without pain. We have just met for the first time, yet you have given us such a gift. It's…."
Yang Ye and Su Qingshi both did not receive gifts because this old man in front of them was too strange, and he gave them gifts upon meeting them. So, how could Yang Ye dare to accept a gift?
The old man glanced at the enraged Su Qingshi, then he glanced at Yang Ye. After a while, he said, “I was rash. But I have no bad intentions. Both of these things only grow mushrooms in my possession, so better give them to the two of you.”
When he heard this, Yang Ye felt it was not good to refuse, so he received the scroll from the old man. He was just about to open it and take a look when the scroll instantly turned into a beam of green light that disappeared in his hand. Suddenly, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed, and he arrived at a vast gray world.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black figure waved his right hand, and the sword behind him shot up into the sky. After which, the black figure seemed to be motionless, yet the sword looked like a child playing in the air. It moved to the right for a while, then moved to the left, then charged forward, then descended rapidly, and did all sorts of movements in the air.
At the side, Yang Ye's chin almost touched the ground from this scene, and he gulped forcefully before he muttered. “Controlling the sword by heart, he completely controls the sword by heart..”.
That's not the end. The sword that was unceasingly dancing in the air suddenly shook rapidly. Following which, a blade of sword qi shot explosively towards the sky from the tip of the sword. In the next moment, the sword shot out several strands of sword qi in various different directions, and for a time, sword qi crossed the sky.
After firing over 100 strands of sword qi, the sword and black figure gradually disappeared. At the same time, a voice suddenly and gradually sounded. “Which came after me, remember the heart technique of the Sword Control technique — Sword Control technique relies on breathing regulation, keeping the mind clear, concentration, and letting the humans, swords, and elements fuse into one…. ”
After he finished reciting this formula, Yang Ye immediately felt the heaven and earth revolving around him, and when he opened his eyes next, he saw the old man looking at him with a smile.
Yang Ye looked at the white-clothed woman while hoping that she would explain the situation earlier to him.
"Technical Legacy!" The woman in white clothes understood and explained. “Some experts use Divine Ability to record some of their techniques into scrolls. These are called inheritances, and they allow one to personally feel everything about this technique. There are many benefits of this.”
When he heard this, Yang Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart, and he turned to bow to the old man before he said, "Thank you, Senior!"
Although he did not know why the old man had given him the sword technique, he had actually obtained the Earth Rank sword technique.
The old man smiled, and then he gave the pair of bracelets in his hands to Yang Ye and said, “I know you have a lot of questions, but for some reason, it is, I can't tell you the answer. As for your desire to leave this place, I can help. But I want to apply for the terms!”
Yang Ye received the pair of bracelets, and then he said, "As long as I can achieve it, then I will absolutely not refuse!"
The old man nodded and said, “This condition is not something difficult. I only hope that if you reach the King Realm one day, please make a trip here. At that time, I will have something to entrust to you!
Yang Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this because he felt lucky the old man did not ask him to do anything difficult at the moment. He immediately agreed and said, “If I reach the Monarch Realm, then I will definitely come looking for a senior. I'll do what I say.”
Although he did not know if he would be able to reach the Royal Kingdom his entire life, since the old man said this, then he could only agree. After all, it was a problem for the future.
The old man nodded in satisfaction after hearing Yang Ye, and then he waved his right hand. A blue colored circle appeared beside Yang Ye and the woman. The blue circle could fit around three people, and a dense expanse of symbols flickered at the bottom of the blue circle.
"Teleportation reform!" The moment they saw this blue circle, Yang Ye and the woman's expressions instantly changed. They had seen teleportation formations in the past because the Sword Sect had a Teleportation Platform, and there were many teleportation formations there. Moreover, that teleportation formation could move one to many cities. It could be said that teleportation formations were not very rare. However, to their surprise, this old man before them had actually set up a teleportation formation with a wave of his hand, and this was extremely frightening!
Not only was Yang Ye shocked, even Su Qingshi was the same. He looked at the old man deeply, and besides being astonished, there was also a deep fear in his eyes.
The old man seemed to be unaware of the shock on their faces at all, and he said, “This teleportation formation can move the two of you to the Death Mountain Range. Don't reveal this place to anyone else. It's for your own good. Continue on!"
Yang Ye took a deep breath and bowed once more to the old man. After which, he pulled Su Qingshi's hand and walked into the blue circle.
As soon as they entered, a thread of blue light surged from beneath them, and it instantly enveloped the two of them before the two disappeared with a swish.
As he watched the blue light disappear, the smile on the old man's face gradually stifled, and he muttered in a low voice. “Why can't I see his future? Why?"
