Chapter 241: I Want to Go to Great Zhao!
“Then... why haven't we sent people down to train in the Upper Three Heavens for so long?” The elderly man with the broken brow asked anxiously.
“Because the Nine Calamity Sword Master only began to roam the world from the Upper Three Heavens!” The black-robed elder clasped his hands behind his back, “If we sent people down to train from the Upper Three Heavens, it would disrupt the operation of heaven's secret... causing this Nine Heavens to fall into a permanent state of chaos!”
“So, no participation is allowed in the Upper Three Heavens. Even if one trains, it can only be in the Middle Three Heavens, and not in the Lower Three Heavens! If any family violates this, they will be besieged by all forces until their destruction! This is an iron law of the Nine Heavens that requires no agreement!”
“There is only one family in the Upper Three Heavens that can directly reach the Lower Three Heavens without being restricted, but even then, only one person can go down at a time...” A strange look flashed in the eyes of the black-robed man as he spoke solemnly.
“What about the nine people who meet the conditions? Are there any requirements?” The elderly man with the broken brow persisted in asking.
“Everything relies on opportunity!” The black-robed elder sighed deeply, “It cannot be forced by human effort!”
After a long while, the sky had returned to normal, and the black-robed elder said leisurely, “Has Feiling's son not been found yet?”
“No...” The elderly man with the broken brow sighed, “It has been seventeen years, and from my perspective... it looks a bit grim.”
“Damn it!” The black-robed elder shouted angrily, “The Yang family has made their relationship with our Chu family extremely tense over this only grandson. After years of friction, former allies are almost at odds! How can we give up so easily? At this critical moment when the Nine Calamity Sword Master is about to emerge, if we can't bring the Yang family back as allies, the Chu family will be isolated, and the consequences will be unthinkable! We must not neglect the search!”
“Understood.”
“It's just a pity... the Nine Calamity Sword Master has already found the second segment of the Nine Calamity Sword and has begun to grow rapidly... even if we find that child, I'm afraid it will also be...” The more he spoke, the angrier he became, “Chu Xiong Cheng! You can't even manage to find your own grandson; why don't you just get lost yourself?”
The elderly man with the broken brow looked dejected, his face contorted in bitterness, “I...”
“What do you mean by ‘I’! Get lost!” The black-robed elder shouted angrily. He then transformed into a black cloud and suddenly disappeared. He made someone else leave, but he was the one who vanished...
“Every time this matter comes up, it always ends up like this...” The elderly man with the broken brow rubbed his broken brow, “Is it that this old man truly wishes to lose his own grandson... it’s just unreasonable.”
With a deep sigh, he finally swayed and disappeared...
In the extreme north of the Upper Three Heavens, amidst a vast expanse of icy wasteland. Aside from ice and snow, there was only darkness.
But at this moment, a breath rising from the Nine Calamity Sword suddenly brought a hint of milky white light to this abandoned world, as if a portal was quietly opening...
Amidst the howling wind and snow, a voice shouted excitedly, “They're coming! The ones who meet the conditions, rush out immediately...”
At this moment, Chu Yang was gathering Gu Duxing and the others together, mysteriously calling them into his room.
“Come, come, come, I have good news.”
“What good news?”
Chu Yang smiled and took out a jade bottle from his bosom, pouring four cups slowly, “I'm treating you to water.”
“Drinking water...” The four of them simultaneously looked speechless: Haven't we drunk water before?
Chu Yang uncorked the jade bottle and filled the four cups, saying, “Please.”
