The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 242 - 209: Not Worthy of My Sword

Chu Huaixu looked at the three people and asked, "Um... venerable seniors, what exactly is the East Continent Order?"

He had some understanding, but not comprehensively.

Chu Yinyin, however, sprang out at this moment, loudly saying, "Let me answer, let me answer!"

Qin Xuexiao watched from the side, with a tinge of envy in his eyes.

This represents the highest honor of an entire continent!

Chu Yinyin explained to Chu Huaixu, "The East Continent is controlled by our Four Great Sects. If someone performs an unparalleled feat for the East Continent, they will be awarded the [East Continent Order]."

"You could understand it as, anyone who possesses this order is a great hero of our East Continent!"

"Anyone who sees it will surely be respectful!"

"Of course, it is not just an honor."

"The holder of the [East Continent Order] can request the Four Great Sects and the Mirror Country Royal Family to accomplish one matter for them, as long as it does not go against their principles."

"Anything!" Chu Yinyin emphasized again.

"In essence, the whole East Continent owes you an enormous favor!" she said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu immediately understood the value of this item!

In the East Continent, the Four Great Sects stand above the royal family, and the so-called Mirror Country Royal Family is just an afterthought. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

This is no different from saying that the Four Great Sects have collectively made a promise!

He glanced down at his belt, suddenly feeling it couldn't hold all of it.

He had a Body Refining Jade Pendant, a Storage Token, and a Profound Yellow Leader Order.

In a few days, there would also be an East Continent Order!

Jiang Zhi looked at them and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he said, "If there's nothing else, I will first take Chu Huaixu back to the sect."

Mei Chuxue glanced at the young man in the black robe, then at the white-robed Jiang Zhi, and inquired, "Elder Jiang, why don't we escort Chu Huaixu together for a while?"

After she spoke, everyone's gaze focused on the [Profound Yellow Origin Fragment] in Chu Huaixu's palm.

Jiang Zhi, however, said indifferently, "No need."

"Since I am personally here, and according to the rules, Cheng Yuyan cannot take action, then even if others join forces, the result would be the same."

Everyone agreed upon hearing this.

Without Cheng Yuyan, Jiang Zhi alone was sufficient.

And if Cheng Yuyan broke the rules and came, then even with the addition of the three of them, it would make no difference, not changing any outcome.

Chu Huaixu listened on the side, noting the name—Cheng Yuyan.

He had heard of this name before when playing [Borrowed Sword]; this person was dubbed "the world's greatest Loose Cultivator"!

He belonged to no organization, born in the Western Continent but active in the East Continent.

His exact strength was unknown, but it was estimated to be at least at the Eighth Realm, otherwise he could not bear such a title!

"Is there something going on here?" Chu Huaixu wondered.

At this time, Jiang Zhi waved his hand, taking Chu Huaixu into the air.

Chu Yinyin immediately took flight, quickly following.

This Junior Martial Uncle looked at the confused young man before him, uncharacteristically patient in explaining:

"You may not know, regarding the Origin Spirit Realm affair, one's cultivation need only reach the Seventh Realm to be eligible to know, but one must swear on the Heavenly Dao not to leak it."

After saying this, he glanced at Chu Yinyin, who was only at the peak of the Sixth Realm, and said, "She is an exception."

The old young woman immediately became angry and said, "Junior Martial Uncle, what do you mean! Why is it an exception! Elder-level figures of the Four Great Sects inherently have the authority to know such matters!"

Jiang Zhi said indifferently, "If it were before, would someone with your cultivation be fit to be an elder of my Daoist Sect?"

"Isn't this... isn't this..." Chu Yinyin didn't continue.

The situation in the Daoist Sect now is that the old generation in Junzi Temple died early, almost the entire army was wiped out.

This group died too early, not even fully accepting disciples, resulting in a dwindling number of disciples in Chu Yinyin's generation at Junzi Temple.

Until Xiang Yan and others grow up, the Daoist Sect, which suffered great losses in vitality, could be considered to have been weak for quite a while among the Four Great Sects.

If not for the Junior Martial Uncle who was then still at the Ninth Realm holding it up, the Four Great Sects would have no little influence at all.

Listening to Chu Yinyin's words, a trace of sorrow flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes, clearly not wishing to discuss this topic.

He continued explaining to Chu Huaixu: "This Cheng Yuyan is known as the world's greatest Loose Cultivator."

"His cultivation has actually reached the early stage of the Ninth Realm." His words were shocking.

Chu Huaixu's face immediately showed a look of surprise: "Ninth Realm? Then isn't he..."

He lowered his gaze to the Origin Fragment in his hand.

For some reason, Jiang Zhi told him not to put it into the Storage Token.

"Yes, he has refined an Origin Fragment before." Jiang Zhi picked up the conversation, revealing the truth.

The three of them continued flying towards the Daoist Sect, and the Junior Martial Uncle continued, "The East and West Continent competition has been held for so many times, do you think every leader is necessarily from the Four Great Sects, or from the Moon Country Royal Family and the Cultivation Hall?"

"Not always."

"Although this is a common occurrence, occasionally some exceptions emerge."

"Like a certain tier-one sect also producing an unprecedented prodigy."

"But Cheng Yuyan is very special; he is a Loose Cultivator with no sect or clan allegiance."

"Perhaps it was an extraordinary talent, or maybe he stumbled upon some great fortune, or perhaps it was a grand opportunity. In any case, during a Third Realm East and West Continent competition decades ago, he became that year's Profound Yellow Leader!"

"A loose cultivator claiming the title is a rarity in a millennium."

"After entering the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm, Cheng Yuyan successfully killed a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from Kunlun Cave Heaven."

"According to the rules, that Profound Yellow Origin Fragment should belong to him."

"The Four Great Sects and the Moon Country Royal Family also offered exorbitant prices, but he did not sell it."

"In the end, it was my Daoist Sect that provided protection, allowing him to successfully refine the Power of Origin."

"Unfortunately, he ultimately did not wish to join my Daoist Sect, nor did he join any other force."

"So many years have passed in a flash. The last time I saw him, he had already entered the Ninth Realm."

Chu Huaixu did not expect that this world's number one loose cultivator would become so powerful.

But thinking about it, it made sense. If someone truly had extraordinary talent and had received a grand opportunity, after refining the Power of Origin, it would be akin to adding wings to a tiger, with a broad and unimpeded path ahead.

Achieving such accomplishments was indeed reasonable.

"However, loose cultivators, unlike disciples with sect protection like us, probably find the process of growing stronger quite challenging," thought Chu Huaixu.

But precisely because of this, there has always been a tradition in the Profound Yellow Realm: low-realm loose cultivators are likely weaker than major sect cultivators of the same realm. But if it's a high-realm loose cultivator, they are likely to be even stronger than major sect cultivators!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made it this far!

Jiang Zhi looked at Chu Huaixu and continued, "Cheng Yuyan was already known as the world's number one loose cultivator when he reached Eighth Realm Great Perfection."

"He became the core of all high-realm loose cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm."

"They formed a relatively loose organization, unlike a sect, but their core principles and interests were aligned."

"These people also wish to find a way out for the Profound Yellow Realm to resist the Heaven and Earth catastrophe."

"However, concerning the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment, these Seventh and Eighth Realm cultivators, all want to get involved."

"In fact, the latter layers of the Origin Spirit Realm have always been managed by the Four Great Sects of the East Continent, the Moon Country Royal Family, and the Cultivation Hall."

"Have you noticed, there are only First Realm and Third Realm East and West Continent competitions in this world."

"But not Fifth Realm or Seventh Realm ones."

"Because the candidates are all selected internally within these six forces."

"Many believe that over the long years, we have made significant sacrifices, and all the sacrifices were by core strong ones, so we should also gain corresponding interests."

Chu Huaixu understood that it meant that the Great Cultivators of these six forces monopolized the Profound Yellow Origin Fragments in the latter layers.

Jiang Zhi explained, "The reason for this is because initially, only these six forces were aware of the issue of the Heaven and Earth catastrophe."

"But with the continuous bloodshed and sacrifice, gradually, it evolved into a tradition, becoming an unwritten rule."

Chu Huaixu was not surprised by this because it aligned with human nature to some extent.

He was in the Daoist Sect and felt that the leaders of this generation in the Daoist Sect had great vision.

But have all the leaders in every generation of the Daoist Sect over the long years had such a spirit of dedication?

What about the rebellious Sword Sect?

What about the Spring and Autumn Mountain with its many eccentrics?

What about the research-obsessed Luotian Valley?

Over such a long time, with so many generations of high-level leaders, did everyone have a broad vision and only know how to contribute without seeking benefits? That would be idealistic!

The emergence of such an unwritten rule was normal.

Chu Huaixu always felt that when faced with an apocalypse-level crisis, humanity could only unite in general direction, rallying together as one. But in many areas, competition for interests and scheming were still unavoidable.

Moreover, this tradition had existed long before, not something decided by Jiang Zhi and others.

The Junior Martial Uncle continued, "But now, high-tier loose cultivators, led by Cheng Yanqiu, have almost all united in the entire Profound Yellow Realm, trying to become the seventh major force within this unwritten rule."

"They call this loose organization 'Deviation'!"

"The life of 'Deviation' taken a wrong turn!"

"The people within are at least Seventh Realm, each higher than Chu Yinyin's realm."

"Of course, their proposal naturally met with resistance."

"The current situation is that the Four Great Sects and Moon Country side, also have their own confidence and pride."

"You think you can do it! You think you deserve a share! Then, after each Origin Spirit Realm ends, you come to rob!"

"If you can snatch it, it's your skill, if not, then retreat obediently."

As Jiang Zhi finished speaking, six figures appeared in the sea of clouds.

Someone loudly declared, "Elder Jiang's words are absolutely correct!"

"Therefore, the six of us wish to try."

"Today, we intend to meet this 'Four Great Divine Swords' of yours!"

A sneer appeared on Jiang Zhi's face.

"Did 'Deviation' only send six of you this time?"

"Yes," the leading man replied.

Wearing a white robe, the Daoist Junior Martial Uncle's mockery deepened, and he spoke:

"In that case, I promise you, I can fight without using a sword."
