Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 403: Successor

The confrontation between Yue Xuexia and the remnant soul of the inheritance altar’s owner, Huashen Rong, was witnessed by the others who were with them at the site. This is a battle that they can never dream of getting involved in. They were at least thankful that neither of them wanted their lives, and they protected them from this clash. Though Yue Xuexia only protected Mo Jue and Fu Lili, the rest were protected by Huashen Rong. After all, the four of them were candidates to become his heir. That is why he protected Wan Yuren, Lin Chiru, Di Lou, and Hou Wen.

{Child, you had already comprehended Sword Intent and possessed powerful sword techniques. This old man is only looking for a successor. Please do not hinder me.}

Yue Xuexia said, "It is true that I possess sword techniques beyond this world. However, these techniques of mine are limited to my bloodline alone. Even if I teach these two, it would be worthless for them. However, you are different. You have been a sword god of the Huashen realm for years. Compared to me in my thirties, you are far more experienced. I am not asking for you to choose them as your successor. I just hope that if they cross this sword path, even if they aren’t the first one, you give them a technique that suits them well."

"Teaching Sword Intent to your chosen heir is enough; those who couldn’t cross first don’t deserve to learn it in an easy way. After all, without proper comprehension, it would be impossible for most sword users to use it. It is better to give rewards that suit them for trying their best than to give something they couldn’t understand. If your will is to spread Sword Intent, just leave a mark on your altar as to how much they can comprehend; that will depend on them."

"A sword master cannot be born with a silver spoon; only when they experience it themselves will they learn it."

{Even though I know a lot of sword techniques, my knowledge of other things isn’t that much. Will those average techniques be useful to these children?}

"It can be said that even a simple technique from you is already an expert level for them. Don’t look down on yourself, even if you failed to reach the Mahayana realm and leave this world. It is undeniable that you are a powerful individual," Yue Xuexia said.

As for these sentences, she passed them through sound transmission, and only Huashen Rong can hear them. If you are willing to accept my selfish request, I can ask someone I know who may be capable of recreating your vessel. This is not a hundred percent sure, but I can assure you of one thing.... He came from that place," said Yue Xuexia.

Huashen Rong’s soul quivers when he hears that uncertain place mentioned by the little girl in front of him. He knew that this little girl was not an ordinary person. That young and already at the same realm as he is, most likely, she had come from the world beyond the void.

{I agree!}

Getting an agreement between Yue Xuexia and Huashen Rong, the two disappeared on the spot, while Mo Jue and Fu Lili reappeared at the beginning of the sword path. The old man’s voice was heard talking to them.

{Only per request of this yatou, I will allow you to enter the sword path despite your current realms. It will be adjusted to your level. As long as you successfully pass through this Sword Path, you will be rewarded like the others,} Huashen Rong said.

Seeing that Yue Xuexia had suddenly disappeared with that spirit from the inheritance altar, they knew that she must have been summoned by the owner of this place. Even though most of them were shocked by what they had witnessed, they still needed to complete the trial first before having a conversation. Mo Jue and Fu Lili looked at each other and finally entered the sword path.

What was it like to feel the pressure pressing from above? It was like there was something on your shoulder heavy enough that prevented you from moving. Fu Lili almost knelt when she entered the sword path. She thought that the personal disciples were just exaggerating their reaction as they went to this broken path. Now that she had felt for herself, she was angry at his past self for not getting ready properly. Thankfully, Mo Jue was there to temporarily support her.

Mo Jue, who had grabbed her arm before she knelt above the stone for real, asked worriedly, "Are you alright? It would be easier if you circulated your qi for protection and also... meditated once your qi was spent. There is no need to race against the others; all we need to do is to reach the end of this road."

"I understand, Shixiong," Fu Lili said as she kept the advice of Mo Jue in her mind.

However, unlike the two who knew that they couldn’t win this race, the other four, who were keeping each other at arm’s length, changed completely when they heard that the first one to cross this broken path would become the sword god’s ancestor. At this moment, the rivalry between the four had started. The Crimson Cloud Pavilion’s owner, Lin Chiru, who had the highest realm, no longer held back and tried to catch up with Wan Yuren, who was in first place in the current trial.

Seeing this, Heavenly Sword Sect’s head disciple, Wan Yuren, no longer controlled his stride and hurried to the end of the road. Witnessing the fight between the two, Heavenly Medicine Sect’s Di Lou and the Heavenly Flame Sect’s head disciple, Hou Wen, were amazed by how those two had more energy.

Di Lou, while panting like a thirsty horse, commented, "Ha~ how come those two can even increase their speed in climbing?"

"Those two were the most compatible for the inheritance. There is no need to follow after them and tire ourselves. The sword wasn’t even our main weapon. Let’s leave it to those two," said Hou Wen.

In the end, Wan Yuren and Lin Chiru were the only ones who fought for the inheritance. In the end, the two were tied for first place and fell at the end of the line together with twitching bodies as if they had caused their muscles some overfatigue.

THUD!

The other four guys still on the path looked at the two who had fallen at the end of the line. They didn’t know who had crossed it first. After all, they only saw two of them reach the end and faint together. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The Heavenly Medicine Sect’s head disciple, Di Lou, asked, "Who is first!?"

"I think I saw them cross together. Is it possible to have two successors?" asked Hou Wen, the head disciple of Heavenly Flame Sect.

All of a sudden, the spirit of the old man Sword God reappeared with Yue Xuexia. With a wave of his hand, the two fainted young men were lifted above ground.

{Not bad! Both had a strong affinity with the sword! Hoho~}

"Let them eat this pill for them to wake up," said Yue Xuexia, the Moon Goddess, as she threw two pills towards Wan Yuren and Lin Chiru.

With the pill entering the mouths of the two, Wan Yuren and Lin Chiru had woken up after their bodies regained the qi they had used during the trial. They were stunned when they saw the Sword God looking at them and how they were floating. They even noticed Yue Xuexia walking away as if she weren’t interested in the two of them.

Yue Xuexia said, "Sir Rong, you can focus on your chosen disciples. I will watch over the rest of them and make sure they successfully pass through the sword path."

{Alright. You can bring them over to that altar. I have left a mark of my Sword Intent there. As for their rewards, you have chosen them yourself. You can give it to them as long as they have successfully crossed the sword path.}

{I will take away these two first. Excuse me! }

After saying these words, the old man disappeared together with Wan Yuren and Lin Chiru. After they disappeared, Yue Xuexia looked at the four on the sword path and cheered for them lazily.

"Do your best and take your time."

Yue Xuexia said, and with a wave of her head, a rocking chair appeared, together with a small table full of treats and drinks. The other four realized that Yue Xuexia never cared about whatever they did as long as they crossed the sword path or wasted their time.

She added, "I suggest that you take your time learning the laws hidden on that path. It would be useful to you as long as you understand it."

This advice was enough to wake the four up. They only realized at this moment that this sword path itself was an opportunity for themselves, and they just had to grab it with their own hands.
