Earthly Deity Chapter 87

“These are three stone statues?” Seeing Yin Shanyin once again standing motionless before a stone wall on one side, Mo Wuji also walked over and he saw three stone statues vaguely carved on the stone wall.

Two of these three stone statues were facing each other, while the other one was slightly farther away but only visible from the side.

“Have you seen a piece of clothing carved underneath these two stone statues facing each other?” Yin Shanyin asked as she looked at the three stone statues.

Mo Wuji took a closer look and suddenly realised, “Senior Sister Yin, you mean to say that one of these two face-to-face stone statues is Zhuo Wuhen and the other one is Mo Luqu. A piece of Mo Luqu’s coat corner was chipped off and fell to the ground, meaning cutting off the robe?”

Yin Shanyin nodded, “That should be it, that woman on the side should be Consort Fu Yan who made these two friends turn against each other. If I’m not wrong, these stone statues were carved down after Mo Luqu escaped here in the first place.”

After saying that, Yin Shanyin looked at it for a while longer and suddenly said, “Senior Brother Mo, aren’t you disgusted with the founding ancestor of the Traceless Sword Sect? Since you loathe it, why didn’t you destroy his stone statue with one sword?”

Mo Wuji looked at Yin Shanyin and said slowly after a while, “It’s fine that I loathe him, but why would I destroy his stone statue? Besides, all the words just now were heard from you, and you likewise heard them. The words you heard from you can only make me hate this person, and I won’t make any moves until I’m sure.”

“If you don’t destroy I’ll come to destroy ……” As Yin Shanyin spoke, the long sword in her hand had already stabbed out.

Mo Wuji was a little surprised when he realised that the object that Yin Shanyin stabbed at was not Zhuo Wuhen, but at Fu Yanfei who had her body on her side.

Mo Wuji laughed, “Senior Sister Yin, I thought that since you are a woman, you would be more lenient towards Fu Yanfei.”

“I don’t like this kind of watery woman either, if it wasn’t for her, my Traceless Sword Sect wouldn’t have been disgraced for countless years ……”

“You have to know that flies don’t bite seamless eggs, Zhuo Wuhen if he really stirred up with Fu Yanfei, then it’s not a good egg ……”

“Ka-ching!” An explosive sound interrupted Mo Wuji’s words.

Immediately after, Mo Wuji saw that after Yin Shanyin stabbed Fu Yanfei with this sword, the entirety of that stone wall collapsed.

Behind the stone wall, there was an alabaster platform which had three crystal balls placed on it. The stone wall behind the stone alabaster platform was worn smooth, and there was a row of words written on it, “Those who come here can obtain my legacy and carry forward the Falling Quill Sword Technique.”

“So this is really the place where Senior Falling Qu fell.” Yin Shanyin sighed before bowing to this white jade platform.

Mo Wuji also bowed to this white jade platform, and in his heart, he felt more admiration for Yin Shanyin. This woman was better than him in many places, he had just really thought that this woman was very dissatisfied with Fu Yanfei, but only now did he realise that people simply knew that there was something behind these three stone statues.

That sword was not so much Yin Shanyin’s dissatisfaction with Fu Yanfei as it was her desire to open this space where the treasures were hidden.

“I am saluting the sect ancestor, is it hard to believe that you are also saluting the sect ancestor?” Yin Shanyin deliberately asked when she saw Mo Wuji bowing and saluting as well.

Mo Wuji said without a care in the world, “I am bowing to Senior Mo, I have heard that many of the relics left behind by the strongest people are staged to have all sorts of mechanisms. The fact that this Senior Mo left behind a relic that doesn’t have any mechanisms shows that Senior Mo is a bright and open person. Plus, I’m about to obtain Senior Mo’s treasures, so it’s only right that I salute this senior.”

Yin Shanyin smiled faintly, she understood that Mo Wuji was reminding her not to forget his share.

“These three crystal balls are Inheritance Crystal Balls, the benefit of Inheritance Crystal Balls is that they can directly pass on the legacy person’s perception of the technique. This kind of perception is extremely profound and won’t leave the legacy recipient with half a doubt left behind, even if one’s qualifications are dull, getting this kind of legacy crystal ball will allow them to fully understand the minutiae of it. Compared to directly leaving behind a merit manual, this kind of inheritance crystal ball is even more precious.” As soon as Yin Shanyin took a look at Mo Wuji’s expression, she knew that Mo Wuji did not understand the inheritance crystal ball and took the initiative to explain.

“I see, that’s even if we say that the Inheritance Crystal Ball lacks a sense of the recipient’s own perceptions when compared to the traditional Gongfu Scrolls? All that is harvested is the sense of the person who left the inheritance behind?” Mo Wuji asked.

Yin Shanyin said indifferently, “You can think so too, but there are many feats that even the most gifted person would not be able to perceive within a short period of time, or even for a long time. Or the things that are perceived are specious.”

After saying this, Yin Shanyin also stopped explaining the benefits of the Inheritance Crystal Ball and pointed to the first crystal ball and said, “This first Inheritance Crystal Ball has words on the back of it, Falling Curve Sword Technique, which is considered to be a type of Dharma Technique. It is also the most important sword skill in the inheritance that senior Falling Qu said.”

Mo Wuji’s cultivation level was far inferior to Yin Shanyin’s, so he couldn’t even see the small words behind it. However, he didn’t have the intention to carry forward the Falling Curve Sword Technique, he just needed to find a suitable technique for himself.

“The second crystal ball is a technique cultivated by senior Falling Qu, I won’t introduce it, you definitely have no interest in this. The third crystal ball is also a dharma skill, also related to sword techniques, called the Invisible Sword ……”

After introducing the three techniques, Yin Shanyin said sincerely to Mo Wuji, “Senior Brother Mo, part of my inheritance is actually Senior Falling Qu’s. According to our agreement, we should give you the Falling Curve Sword Technique, which is a dharma skill. And this Dharma Skill and Senior Falling Qu’s technique are both too important to me, I want to stay. The Formless Sword is considered the worst of the three crystal balls, and with your qualifications it’s not expected to be of much use, but I can only give you this magic skill.”

Actually, the two magic skills here were both related to swords, and Mo Wuji was already a little disappointed. Whether it was the Falling Curve Sword Technique or the Invisible Sword, he was not interested. After risking so much to come in, he had wanted to get a magic skill that was preferably related to lightning strikes, but he didn’t expect that there would only be two sword skills in the end.

“It doesn’t matter, just give me this Formless Sword.” Although he preferred the Falling Curve Sword Technique that was placed first, Mo Wuji was actually indifferent in his heart.

“Thank you Senior Brother Mo, when we go out, if Senior Brother Mo doesn’t want to become the clan’s Dan Master, I’ll find a way to get a guest Dan Master for Senior Brother Mo. In that case, Senior Brother Mo won’t have to worship the sect and will receive more resources in the sect.” Yin Shanyin said gratefully.

She then raised her hand and grabbed the three crystal balls, handing the last invisible sword to Mo Wuji.

She had agreed with Mo Wuji to let him pick a magic skill first, but now it was equal to her picking two and giving the last one to Mo Wuji, which was a little less than favourable in her heart. It wasn’t that she had gone back on her word, but she hadn’t expected that here was the inheritance of Mo Luqu.

“I don’t know if there will be any repercussions for a guest dan master to go to the Tibetan scripture pavilion? And can we listen to some of the Transmission Elder’s lectures?” Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, this was what he was most concerned about. One of his main purposes of joining the sect was to have a guiding direction in cultivation.

“A guest dan master is a special existence in the sect, so naturally, he can go to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow some of the sect’s scriptures, but it’s only limited to those things that are not inherited from the sect. The Sword Skill Inheritance and Sword Technique Inheritance of the Traceless Sword Sect cannot be seen as a Guest Dan Master.” Yin Shanyin explained with a slight apology.

“That’s enough, I’ll thank Senior Sister Yin first.” Mo Wuji hurriedly thanked, he didn’t want to become the inheritance disciple of the Traceless Sword Sect, nor did he want to read those important scriptures of the sect.

After saying that, Mo Wuji put the Invisible Sword Crystal Ball into his own parcel again before handing the parcel to Yin Shanyin, “Senior Sister Yin, inside this parcel are my things, apart from the Broken Sword and Invisible Sword there are also some pills and some spirit herbs, when the time comes, I’ll also have to trouble Senior Sister Yin to help me bring them out.”

He was an odd-job disciple, taking these things out would be giving them away.

Yin Shanyin took Mo Wuji’s things and threw them into her own storage bag, “I’ll help you take the things out, in fact, you’re a second grade human dan master, even without my introduction, you can still become the clan’s guest dan master. So it’s me who owes you a favour this time, let’s talk about it when we get out.”

“Go out how?” Mo Wuji asked.

“A month’s time should be up, even if there will be a delay of some days because of the problems with the teleportation array, in the end, you can definitely automatically be teleported out. This you don’t have to worry about at that time, when you go out, you won’t experience the teleportation going wrong again ……”

Yin Shanyin seemed to have remembered something and did not continue.

Mo Wuji said with a slight worry, “According to what you said before, that Life Devouring Beast wouldn’t come in for no reason. Since that Life Devouring Beast came in, does that mean that someone has entered the Traceless Sword Mountain? The problem with the teleportation array outside is also because of the people who came in before?”

Yin Shanyin said with some hesitation in her tone, “It’s hard to say, if someone had come in, how could the things of Elder Falling Qu be argued to be taken by you and me?”

“Maybe that person’s strength is so strong that they don’t give a damn about senior Lok Qu’s things ……”

 

“Who is it?” Yin Shanyin suddenly turned around.
