Chapter 504: Jian w.a.n.g


"Ancient Sword Division?" Theia raised her eyebrows as she stared at Ren Shuang with a questioning look. 


Looking at her face filled with doubt, Ren Shuang slowly explained to her what Yin Long had told him about the Ancient Sword Division. 


After hearing the details, Theia put on a thoughtful and she eventually nodded her head in praise. "That"s a great idea! Alright, I"ll let you handle this matter. However, I still don"t trust them fully, so you have to make sure that those people won"t do anything that would endanger the safety of the sword tower!" She warned him in a cold tone.


Ren Shuang nodded his head seriously. He could understand Theia"s misgivings, so he didn"t mind it. He was confident that Yin Long and the others would soon gain her trust. 


"Thank you, Miss Theia!" He muttered gratefully. 


"If there"s nothing else, you may take your leave. I still have to call the next batch of disciples that would enter the cultivation hall." Theia stood up and pointed the door to Ren Shuang. 


Ren Shuang bowed his head and left the room right away. He couldn"t wait to tell this good news to Yin Long and the others. 


After Ren Shuang left, Theia soon left the room and went to find the disciples who would soon enter the cultivation hall. 


The area of the cultivation hall was large enough to accommodate all the disciples of the sword tower, but it would be a bad idea to let all the disciples cultivate at once, so Jiu Shen instructed them to let the disciples come in batches. 


Theia arrived in front of a group of young disciples. All of them had looks of excitement as they stared at Theia. They knew that it was finally their turn to get inside the rumored cultivation hall in the dragon building! 


According to their friends who had already gotten inside, cultivating inside the cultivation hall was very beneficial in increasing their power! 


Thinking about this, the young disciples couldn"t help but feel excited.


Looking at their s.h.i.+ning gazes, Theia laughed in her heart. "All of you, follow me to the dragon building!"

A month later.


In a faraway location, within a lush forest, a small wooden hut can be seen. It was surrounded by tall evergreens and dense shrubberies. Despite being in the middle of a huge forest, the area around the hut seemed to be devoid of savage beasts. This was quite strange since this location was the most ideal place for savage beasts to live. 


Suddenly, the wooden door of the hut slowly opened and the figure of a middle-aged man wearing ragged clothes can be seen. Strapped on the man"s back was a golden sword that was sheathed in a special black sword case. 


The middle-aged man"s face was calm and indifferent. He glanced at the sky with a gaze filled with longing and desolation. It was unknown what this man was thinking for him to reveal such expressions. 


Flap. Flap. 


The flapping sounds of a huge flying creature suddenly echoed in the forest. 


The middle-aged man turned his gaze and saw a gigantic vermillion bird with a brilliant scarlet flame that covered all of its majestic body!


Seeing this creature, the middle-aged man"s cold expression revealed a trace of warmth. 


Screech!


The burning bird issued a loud cry that resounded throughout the forest. It lowered its huge head and stared at the old man as if it was expressing its greeting. 


Suddenly, the huge burning bird transformed into a middle-aged man with curly fiery red hair. His scarlet eyes flashed like eternally burning torches. 


The huge red bird that turned into a curly red-haired man landed in front of the cold-looking middle-aged man. 


"Brother Jian, I heard a piece of interesting news during my travels in the outer fringes of the desert region. I think you might be interested if you hear it." The red-haired man said with a smile while looking at the man in front of him with a teasing look. 


Brother Jian shoved the red-haired man to the side and walked away without looking back. "No matter what you say, this old man doesn"t care and if you have nothing important to say, then just play at the sidelines. I still have to train my sword techniques." He muttered in exasperation. 


The red-haired man chuckled upon hearing that, but he wasn"t willing to give up just yet. He grabbed Brother Jian"s shoulder and said. "In a remote city called Hard Rock City, I heard about a wine store that sells exquisite wines. According to the people I"ve asked, the wines sold in that store have special effects. It can even enhance one"s understanding of swordplay! However, I don"t think it can help you increase your understanding of swordsmans.h.i.+p. After all, you"re already a Celestial, and increasing your strength more is akin to a mortal trying to climb a steep mountain." 


Hearing this, Brother Jian seemed a bit interested. First, he loves wine, and his one pursuit in life was to reach the pinnacle of the sword. However, his understanding of swordsmans.h.i.+p has stagnated no matter how hard he trained.


When he saw that he had successfully gotten Brother Jian"s attention, the red-haired man smiled widely and continued. "However, the most intriguing part of what I"ve heard was about the owner of this wine store. According to the man I spoke to, there are rumors that the wine store is owned by Celestial Emperor Jian w.a.n.g himself. Isn"t this funny? Someone is actually using your name to boost up the reputation of their wine store. Hahaha! This guy has the guts of a dragon!" 


Brother Jian"s eyes turned cold and the red-haired man could not help but feel a bit apprehensive when he saw the icy gaze aimed at him. He abruptly raised his arms innocently and nervously said. "I"m just telling you about what I"ve heard outside." 


"You d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d! For millions of years, you"ve been using all sorts of excuses just to make me come out of this forest! Your excuse this time is the most preposterous of all!" Brother Jian glared at the red-haired man.
