The Story of the Swordsman

Origin Lintian

"You said ... Lintian can recover the broken Blood Vessels?" Yun Qingrou asked with a trembling voice. He could be considered as Yun Lintian's teacher in the medical arts. Of course, he knew what it meant to be able to repair the broken Blood Vessels. He had studied the [Records of Remaining] since he was young, but he had been unable to grasp his methods until now.

Yun Meilan nodded her head in response. He was also stunned when he first witnessed the miraculous treatment that was happening in front of him. Yun Lintian could easily achieve something that could only be heard in legends.

Yun Qingrou took a deep breath and said, "I know very well Lintian has soul power that can rival that of an Origin Realm practitioner, even though he has strength in the Essence Realm. His understanding was also the best among his friends ... However, I never thought he could practice the [Records of Life Remains] left behind by the clan founder"

[The Remaining Record of Life] was a medical art left behind by the Founder of the Misty Cloud Sect. The reason why there was the word 'Sisa' in his name was because it was an incomplete art. The note only has one-third of the original writing.

"I'm sure he has also studied all the contents of the [Records of Remaining Formation]. You guys know that I can't set up a Heaven Suppressing Formation, but he can." Yun Lingwei said solemnly. He had stopped eating at this time.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They watched Yun Lintian grow up ever since he was a baby. His thought process and learning progress had surpassed that of his peers. Now, he once again surprised them.

"During the journey, Lintian realized that we were hiding information from him. He realized that his thoughts were different from others. I didn't want to hide it from her any further, so I told her everything." Yun Meilan.

"We are to blame for this. We shouldn't have hidden everything from him in the first place." Yun Huanxin said softly.

His words caused everyone to look at each other with wry smiles on their faces. It was not because they wanted to do this, but Yun Qianxue forcibly forbade them to tell him.

"Does anyone remember the day that Senior appeared here?" Yun Ruanyu suddenly asked. He looked at everyone for a moment then continued, "I really want to know what it really came from." The other masters glanced at each other, as they also had the same question on their minds.

...

"Mom, can you tell me now? What is the origin of this ring?" Yun Lintian asked as he fiddled with his space ring. She's curious. Where did Yun Qianxue get this ring from? And why did he say it was his?

Yun Qianxue was silent for a moment. He looked at her and said, "I think it's time to tell you everything." He closed his eyes, trying to remember. The memories of that day reappeared in his mind clearly.

"Sixteen years ago, our sect suddenly had a mysterious visitor. Although I have never met a Ruler Realm practitioner before, but I am sure, that person's strength is many times stronger than the Ruler Realm ... There was a white mist around the person, blocking our view. I couldn't see her clearly until she spoke then we realized that she was a woman. He didn't come alone. She took the baby with her." Yun Qianxue looked at Yun Lintian and said, "The baby is you."

Yun Lintian was surprised. He had never expected there to be someone with extremely high strength, taking him to the Misty Cloud Sect ... Outside the Realm of Rulers? What kind of power is that? How did this necklace come up here with me? His mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out the secret behind his migration.

Yun Lintian listened to him quietly while his head was filled with questions. According to Yun Qianxue's statement, the mysterious woman brought her here and tried to ensure her safety by telling Yun Qianxue to accept her as her foster child. However, the mysterious woman had such a powerful strength. Why would he leave her here instead of taking her with him? Was he running away from a powerful enemy?

He remembered back then when he opened his eyes for the first time, he had already found himself being cared for by Yun Qianxue. Except for the memories before his death in his previous life, he had no other memories. Where are his parents in this life? And who is that mysterious woman? Is she his mother? With a power that surpassed the Realm of Rulers, no doubt, he should not have come from this world.

"Mom, are there any records related to the other world here? Like someone has broken through the void, ascended to a higher place." Yun Lintian asked.

Yun Qianxue frowned as she replied, "In every generation, we will pass down the sect's historical records to the next sect master. There is a small record related to the founder of our sect. It was said that one day, he mysteriously disappeared from our sect and ancestors at that time speculated that he might ascend to higher ground ... I also think it's very possible because the Second Generation Sect Master has described the Founder's power as unrivalled in the world."

"Unmatched in the world?" Yun Lintian repeated in surprise ... What kind of power did he have to be described like that?

Yun Qianxue smiled, "Excellent, right?" Seeing Yun Lintian subconsciously nodding his head in response, he said further, "Actually, it is not a surprise at all. Back then, our sect was the top in the Northern Continent. We have many practitioners of the King Realm and the Sacred Realm in our sect. However, I don't know what really happened. Our sect began to decline about four thousand years ago, right after the Founder disappeared. Moreover, our sect has also never openly recruited disciples like other sects." A sad expression appeared on his face as he spoke.

Yun Lintian understood this. The Misty Cloud Sect had always recruited orphans at random without considering their potential. Meanwhile, the other sects screened the candidates first before taking the most talented ones into their sects. This was the gap between them and was the reason behind the decline of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Mom, can you give me all the information related to the outside world right now? I know you've been hiding things from me on purpose." Yun Lintian asked solemnly.

Traces of guilt appeared in the depths of Yun Qianxue's eyes. He sighed softly: "I don't want to hide everything from you..."

Before he could finish his explanation, Yun Lintian interrupted. "You don't have to feel sorry for me, Mom. I understand you have good intentions. I never blame you for this. Actually, it was my fault too ... I have no ambition since I was young. I don't care about the outside world, that's why I never looked for it. But now it's different. From the day I discovered our sect was under threat, I realized, I need to change ... My current ambition is to ensure that our sect can survive and be free from any danger from now on."

Ever since the first day Yun Lintian came to this world, he had always lived in his comfort zone. The only thing he had in mind was to live comfortably and survive together with the Misty Cloud Sect. However, his current thoughts had completely changed. Now, he wanted to turn the Misty Cloud Sect into the only dominating faction that stood above all else.

Yun Qianxue was moved. He reached out to hold Yun Lintian's hand firmly and said emotionally, "Thank you for understanding me. I thought you'd blame me for this."

Yun Lintian shook his head while smiling. He asked, "Can you tell me now? Why would those sects want to attack us? I don't think they purely crave our beautiful students, do they?"

Yun Lintian suddenly realized his thoughts were too naive after listening to Yun Qianxue earlier. The Misty Cloud Sect had a long heritage and was once a ruler among the various powers in the Northern Continent. Theoretically, the Sect definitely had a trump card because the Sect could survive until now even though the overall strength of the Sect was declining. The Sacred Fire Sect should not be stupid enough to challenge the Misty Cloud Sect just for women. Unless they also had something that could allow them to fight against the Misty Cloud Sect.
