These Sword Cultivation Sects are all subsidiary sects under the "Ancient Sword Community of the Mountain Range". They once followed the Sword Cultivation Ancient Race Alliance to the north, disappearing from their original territories, only to appear in this more dangerous and cruel yet opportunity-laden new world.
Song Yan had heard of their existence but had never encountered them, after all, in this vast world, even if a few thousand people were training around the vicinity, they were unrelated to him, and he wouldn't have even heard of them, let alone met them.
Since the era of the dark celestial calamity descended, the Ancient Sword Community of the Mountain Range was submerged by the Vast Sea, and these forces disappeared from the vision of 1st level Cultivation Profound Land.
This time, if it weren't for Song Yan lingering around Wangjian City for a long time, and if it weren't that his Qi Concealment Skill was "beyond standard", he might not have had the fortune to encounter these five cultivators.
It's all because the disciples of Zen Sword Studio practice a cultivation technique called the "Heart Sword Clarity Technique".
This technique emphasizes "Human Sword Unity giving birth to the Sword Heart, Sword Heart's thought transforming into the Divine Sword".
Most uniquely, this kind of swordsmanship vaguely contains a mystical "array intent", when multiple disciples of Zen Sword Studio walk together, their sword hearts will touch each other, causing an effect of external Qi concealment; if they attack, it will cause sword heart resonance, enhancing sword intent and increasing power.
The reason these five could evade Song Yan's "casual sweep", besides the deserted island's terrain, is also due to this reason.
The new world gave Song Yan a slight new hope in his heart.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit inwardly emotional.
Before coming here, he thought the Formless Ancient Race was the center of the ancient races, but after coming here...he realized the Formless Ancient Race was just a force in this world.
On the other hand, he once again recognized the profound weight of being the "Master of Heaven and Earth".
At this time, he lay quietly on the couch, not in a hurry.
After all, he was just a small guy at the Early Stage of Purple Mansion, if the sky fell, it temporarily had nothing to do with him.
In the evening, the twilight shone through the stone crevices of the cave mansion, and as it slipped past hanging green vines, it fell upon the ground.
The sound of light footsteps grew closer from the outside.
A familiar feeling made Song Yan perceive that the person coming was his dual cultivation partner, Ling Xiaoxiao.
Ling Xiaoxiao entered with a sword on her back, sat by the stone couch, and gently stroked Song Yan's face with her hand.
Song Yan slowly opened his eyes, showing a weak appearance.
Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes showed a look of joy, then her breathing quickened, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks, and she said, "Senior Brother, you're awake, you… you're finally awake."
Song Yan weakly lifted his hand, embraced Ling Xiaoxiao in his arms, hoarsely saying, "I'm alright..."
Ling Xiaoxiao allowed him to hold her, and when his hand slightly loosened, she hurriedly took out a pot of Immortal Wine from her storage bag.
Song Yan, having inherited the cause and effect of Wei Xian, naturally knew this wine was the healing holy medicine of Zen Sword Studio, called Celestial Immortal Drunk.
The Pavilion Master liked brewing wine, often adding various Profound Flowers and exotic herbs into the mix, with allocations distributed to the disciples annually.
Those in the Refining Profound Crimson Palace had to dilute it with water before drinking, while those at the Purple Mansion sipped it in small amounts each time.
Its effects could increase power, heal injuries, and detoxify, essentially a panacea.
"Senior Brother, I haven't diluted this wine yet, drink some," Ling Xiaoxiao looked at him with concern.
Song Yan naturally knew...
These days, Ling Xiaoxiao had been feeding him quite a bit of Celestial Immortal Drunk.
Ling Xiaoxiao's supply surely must have been exhausted by now, and who knows from where or whom she had exchanged or borrowed this Celestial Immortal Drunk.
Seeing as the wine's spout was already nearing his lips, Song Yan suddenly pushed away the wine pot, embracing Ling Xiaoxiao in one swift motion and, amidst her surprised cries, pulled open her clothes, merging with her body.
...
Song Yan used his own body to prove to his partner that his injuries were unharmed.
The miraculous effect of "Transformation" lies precisely in this.
He had inherited all the causes and effects of the one named "Wei Xian," and everything that happened with Ling Xiaoxiao in the past was indeed real, like he had suddenly "transmigrated" to this place.
Wei Xian's master was initially at the Early Stage of Divine Infant but tragically died while training at the 2nd level Cultivation Profound Land.
The danger here far surpassed the periphery.
Thus, Zen Sword Studio wanted to send disciples to train at the 1st level Cultivation Profound Land through the Ancient Teleportation Array, even though it was full of Celestial Calamity Beasts.
...
The following day, early in the morning...
Song Yan sensed the familiar yet strange female cultivator's small actions in his arms, felt the fiery sensation produced by their closeness, then slightly pulled away, quietly observing this delicate and charming female cultivator.
The slightly round and clear small face, crescent-shaped eyes, adorable dimples, and messy hair that stuck to the brow due to sweat. If she walked outside, this female cultivator would give an impression of being pretty and cute, yet somewhat introverted, with little opinion, and even a bit uneasy and flustered.
But precisely because of this... her attachment to her partner was far stronger than others. When she saw Wei Xian had an accident on the sea near Wangjian City earlier, she was nearly on the verge of total collapse of her Dao Heart.
If it wasn't for Song Yan continuing Wei Xian's cause and effect, this female cultivator would have long perished beneath the sea.
And interestingly...
Song Yan, through Wei Xian's cause and effect, saw the real thoughts of Wei Xian.
This female cultivator named Ling Xiaoxiao had no immortal background, considered to be selected among the subordinate disciples. When Wei Xian cultivated the Sword Heart, he sensed a hint of heart demon of desire, so he thought about finding a pretty female cultivator as a furnace, to temporarily use, and separate after the heart demon was gone.
Ling Xiaoxiao thus entered his vision.
One was at the Purple Mansion, the other at the Crimson Palace; their realms inherently differed by a big level.
Ling Xiaoxiao lacked a sense of security, and having received the pursuit of a powerful senior brother, she nodded and agreed to the partner relationship.
Wei Xian regarded her as nothing more than a furnace, secretly looking down on this female cultivator, only planning to use her and then separate to find a truly compatible partner.
In fact, if it were another bold and daring female cultivator, she would have long seen through Wei Xian's intentions.
