21: Awakening innate sword bone, becoming an inner disciple

Jiang Yunfan arrived at the Inheritance Hall and bowed to the Elder. "Elder, I am a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple, here to select a Cultivation Technique."

"Go ahead!"

The Elder did not even look at him properly.

Jiang Yunfan searched for a Cultivation Technique in the hall.

The Inheritance Hall had three floors. The first floor contained Profound Rank techniques, the second floor had Earth Rank techniques, and the third floor held Heaven Rank techniques.

Inner Sect Disciples had one opportunity to select a Cultivation Technique. If they wanted to Cultivate higher-ranked techniques, they would need to exchange contribution points for them.

Jiang Yunfan searched for the Fire God Technique.

"System, recommend a Divine Ability suitable for me."

[todays intelligence (Red), the first floor of the Inheritance Hall contains a sword-style Divine Ability called One Sword Separating Worlds. This Divine Ability is incomparably domineering, with power not inferior to a Great Divine Ability. It has extremely high requirements for ones Physique and Meridians; forcing cultivation will cause damage to the Meridians.]

This is the one.

Jiang Yunfan began to look for One Sword Separating Worlds and the Fire God Technique.

Soon, he found the Fire God Technique.

Cultivation Techniques could not be taken away, so he had to memorize it by rote.

After committing the Mind-Cultivation Technique to heart, Jiang Yunfan put the Fire God Technique back in its original place and continued to search for One Sword Separating Worlds.

A moment later.

Jiang Yunfan found the sword-style Divine Ability, One Sword Separating Worlds.

Divine Abilities were different from Cultivation Techniques; they only consisted of a few short sentences.

One Sword Separating Worlds consisted of only three sentences: Gather Qi into the sword, align with intent, and one sword to break the heavens.

Unknowingly, Jiang Yunfan gained some insights.

...

Chiyang Peak.

Gou Sheng hurriedly found Jiang Beixuan. "Senior Brother Jiang, Jiang Yunfan has been promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple."

Upon hearing that Jiang Yunfan had been promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, Jiang Beixuan looked cold. "He finally promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple. He is much slower than me."

He had broken through to the Innate Realm just a few days after entering the sect.

Gou Sheng immediately flattered him, "Jiang Yunfan only has Ninth-Rank Aptitude; how could he compare to Senior Brother Jiang?"

"Where is he now?"

"He went to the Inheritance Hall."

Jiang Beixuan left; he wanted to trample Jiang Yunfan under his feet to avenge the theft of his wife.

Someone had already found Jiang Yunfan before him.

"You are the Jiang Yunfan."

Gu Long walked towards Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan put the Divine Ability Secret Manual back in its place and looked at Gu Long, knowing he had come with ill intentions. "It is me. Judging by your posture, are you here to teach me a lesson?"

Gu Long said coldly: "You are not worthy of Ji Yao. If you are sensible, leave her."

Jiang Yunfan chuckled, "I am not worthy, so you are?"

"My father is the Peak Master of Ji Yao Peak, so naturally, I am worthy of her."

Gu Long felt very superior.

He has quite the background! No wonder he dared to come and cause trouble.

Jiang Yunfan would not back down; he would retort when needed and refused to engage in self-inflicted mental exhaustion.

"So your father is the Peak Master of Ji Yao Peak! I thought you were the Peak Master yourself? Truly, a little cow riding a plane—you are arrogant to the sky."

"Stop playing word games with me. If you are sensible and leave Ji Yao, I will not make things difficult for you. I will even give you one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Hit me! If you have the guts, hit me!"

Jiang Yunfan kept provoking Gu Long, looking very punchable.

Others began to jeer.

"Senior Brother Ancient, beat him up."

"I've seen arrogant people, but never anyone this arrogant."

"Shut up."

Gu Long shouted, and everyone fell silent.

Gu Long looked at Jiang Yunfan and said coldly: "Do you think I am stupid? You cannot fight in the Inheritance Hall. I will not make a move on you here."

Self-righteous.

"Then I will go outside so you can hit me, okay!"

Jiang Yunfan walked toward the outside of the hall.

Jiang Yunfan's repeated provocations completely enraged Gu Long.

Kid, you are dead. Even if Ji Yao comes, she won't be able to protect you.

Gu Long did not know that he had already stepped into the trap set by Jiang Yunfan step by step.

"Jiang Yunfan is dead this time; he actually dared to provoke Gu Long."

"Others might fear Ji Yao, but Gu Long does not. His father is a Peak Master. Even if he beats Jiang Yunfan to a pulp, nothing will happen. This time, even Ji Yao cannot save him."

Everyone was waiting to see a good show, as if they had already imagined the bloody scene of Jiang Yunfan being beaten to a pulp by Gu Long.

[todays intelligence (White), Jiang Beixuan is coming to find trouble with the Host and is already on his way to the Inheritance Hall.]

He really is like a lingering ghost!

As soon as Jiang Yunfan left the Inheritance Hall, Gu Long struck him with a palm. Who would have thought that the force of the palm would be rebounded back? Gu Long, caught off guard, was injured by the palm force he himself had unleashed.

This scene shocked everyone.

What is going on?

They agreed on beating Jiang Yunfan to a pulp, so why was Gu Long the one injured?

"A defensive Spiritual Artifact."

Gu Long knew that Jiang Yunfan had a defensive Spiritual Artifact on him, and this defensive Spiritual Artifact could even rebound attacks. He gritted his teeth in hatred.

"You are too impatient. I just came out and you were in such a hurry to make a move. Do you want to try another palm strike?"

Jiang Yunfan teased and provoked Gu Long.

Too hateful.

Gu Long gritted his teeth in hatred but suppressed his anger and did not attack.

"It must be a defensive Spiritual Artifact gifted to him by Ji Yao."

"It seems we all underestimated the position of Jiang Yunfan in Ji Yao's heart."

"What exactly does Ji Yao see in him? He has no looks, no background, and no Spiritual Physique. He is simply unworthy of her."

Everyone was envious and jealous that Jiang Yunfan had a defensive Spiritual Artifact.

That was a Spiritual Artifact!

It was a treasure that many people dreamed of.

Jiang Yunfan got a Spiritual Artifact just by relying on a woman.

Why wasn't that person them?

Jiang Yunfan said: "Why bother? Even if you chase me away, it is impossible for Ji Yao to like you."

"My father is the Peak Master of Ji Yao Peak; how could she not like me?"

"If she cared about status and background, she might as well just marry your dad. That way, she could directly become the Peak Master's wife, and you would have to call her Mother."

"What a load of bullshit."

Gu Long was furious.

So infuriating.

If not for Jiang Yunfan having a Spiritual Artifact to protect his body, he really wanted to smash his head with one palm.

"I just like the way you want to kill me but can't."

"That is the logic. Anyway, she will not like you. If you insist on causing trouble for me, then I will accompany you to the end."

The last sentence of Jiang Yunfan showed full dominance.

"Jiang Yunfan."

A voice came.

Jiang Yunfan turned his head to look and saw Jiang Beixuan and Gou Sheng approaching.

"Jiang Beixuan, you really are like a lingering ghost!"

"He is that True Disciple who joined Chiyang Peak, Jiang Beixuan."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang."

Everyone stepped forward to pay their respects.

Jiang Beixuan walked up to Jiang Yunfan and mocked: "You are really useless; it took you so long to break through to the Innate Realm."

"Fight me. If you lose, you will call off the engagement and return Ji Yao to me."

Jiang Yunfan pointed at his nose and scolded angrily: "Jiang Beixuan, you are truly a beast. I am your own younger brother, and you actually want to snatch your brother's wife? Are you even human? You are worse than a beast."

Jiang Beixuan was stunned by the scolding.

Everyone was shocked; this was a big piece of gossip!

"They are actually from the same Family and are even brothers."

"A brother snatching his younger brother's woman; this is too explosive."

"Truly shameless, even snatching his younger brother's woman. How can such a person be a True Disciple of our Lingxiao Sect? If this gets out, what face will our Lingxiao Sect have left?"

Everyone stood on the moral high ground to condemn Jiang Beixuan.

Jiang Beixuan was insulted again, and his anger could no longer be suppressed. "All of you shut up. Jiang Yunfan has been expelled from the Family and is no longer a member of the Jiang Family, and I am not his big brother."

"Jiang Yunfan, let us settle this today."

Seeing Jiang Beixuan about to make a move, Gu Long quickly stopped him, "Stop it quickly."

"No one can stop me."

Jiang Beixuan struck with a palm.

Jiang Yunfan stood still with a playful look. Jiang Beixuan sensed something was wrong. In the next second, the palm force he unleashed was rebounded, and he was injured by his own palm force and vomited blood.

"Senior Brother Jiang."

Gou Sheng quickly stepped forward to support him.

Jiang Beixuan looked at Jiang Yunfan in shock. Impossible, he just broke through to the Innate Realm; how could he be so strong!

Gu Long said: "This guy has a defensive Spiritual Artifact on him that can rebound attacks. You hitting him is just hitting yourself. I told you to stop, but you turned a deaf ear. Idiot."

Being humiliated in public, Jiang Beixuan said coldly: "How dare you. An Inner Sect Disciple dares to speak rudely to a True Disciple. Gou Sheng, teach him a lesson for me."

Gou Sheng said in a difficult position: "Senior Brother, he is the son of the Ji Yao Peak Master. How dare I touch him?"

Son of the Ji Yao Peak Master, no wonder he is so arrogant.

Jiang Beixuan could only swallow his anger.

Gu Long said disdainfully: "Don't think that just because you became a True Disciple, you can be arrogant. Teach me a lesson? Are you even worthy?"

Jiang Yunfan said: "Jiang Beixuan, do you think that by joining the Chiyang Peak Master's sect, you can trample on me? I am about to become a Disciple of the Lingyun Peak Master. It is the Master that Ji Yao found for me. Want to trample on me? No way."

Although he had not yet entered Lingyun Peak, it did not prevent him from using a powerful name to intimidate.

Once this information was released, he believed that few people would dare to come and cause trouble for him.
