Above Destiny

Chapter 389 Enneagram Change
"Teacher, I'm back!"

After dinner, Ji Jue walked all the way home to digest his food and finally pushed open the door of Chao Sheng with the local specialties in his hand.

But, I couldn't help but lower my voice when I spoke.

I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably nervous and guilty. No, this isn't right. I'm not skipping classes to go to the internet cafe. My master is busy and I'm doing the work for him. I'm an outsourced tool who has completed his mission and is now going home... Why am I so nervous? !
The reason why he came so late was simply because Ye Xian would usually be free at this time.

Alchemy is a serious and complex subject. Even a master must be cautious, focused and work hard. Sometimes decades of preparation may only allow the result to be achieved within one day. Even for ordinary work, no one wants someone to knock on the door just when they are getting into the state, just to give them two eggs.

Ji Jue didn't even have time to flatter someone, so how could he possibly rush to cause trouble?

The exaggerated music and noise from the variety show were still echoing in the living room. Ye Chun, who had just met in the morning, was instantly brought back to his original form. He quickly transformed from a serious and solemn appearance into a salted fish lying on the sofa eating snacks.

When he saw Ji Jue, he just waved his hand, pointed at the table, and then pointed to the study.

It means that the things are on the table and my aunt is in the study.

I'm too lazy to even say a word.

"You're so lazy!"

Ji Jue shook his head, put down his things, and knocked on the study door.

The door was not closed, but ajar.

It seemed that the last visitor had just left. Half of the cigar was extinguished in the ashtray, which surprised Ji Jue. He wanted to know who was so proud that he could smoke in front of his teacher and not be kicked out. Instead, he was given the ashtray...

Glancing at Ji Jue, who seemed calm but was actually thinking about something, Ye Xian was too lazy to explain and pointed to the seat opposite him, asking him to sit down:

"I thought you wouldn't come until tomorrow."

Ji Jue smiled naively, showing the sincerity of every young person who wants to make progress: "I was thinking, now that I'm back, I should find the teacher and report my work as soon as possible."

"..."

Ye Xian's expression suddenly became more and more strange, and he asked back: "Do you think there is something I am not clear about?"

Did you secretly build a long-range missile launch base on the sea that covers the entire federation, or did you pick up the evil fragments of the natural disaster and build something weird in Kunwu?

Or was it the massacre you carried out in the snowy plains of the Wasteland State, and the long series of battles that blinded countless people? Or was it the great purge that you pushed forward and united all parties, which just ended this morning?

What other special skills do you have that I don’t even know about?
"Well done."

Ye Xian praised him, "Even Nirvana thinks you are a talent, and he even came to praise me for my continued success. Are you interested in letting your students join us so that we can accomplish great things together?"

"Ah this..."

Ji Jue was stunned and sweaty: "Slander! It's all slander, teacher!

You know me well. I have always been a law-abiding citizen. I did those things out of necessity. How could I possibly cooperate with a terrorist like Nirvana?"

"Yes, that's right. They value this about you especially."

Ye Xian nodded: "Especially after doing so many things that even terrorist organizations have not done, you can still let the Security Bureau clean up your mess. You are really a genius."

As expected of you!

Every time I go out, I can do something that makes people question their lives or surprise them so much that they go crazy!

Fortunately, the natural disaster has isolated the worm from outside influences and interference. No one except the parties involved knows about the changes inside the Nether Sea Worm. Moreover, Ji Jue did a clean job and did not leave any living witnesses.

In other words, only a teacher like Ye Xian, who knows the true nature of his students, can guess a little.

Otherwise, the inquiry team and the excommunication team of the Ring of Oneness would be here soon - is your student a direct descendant of the master of Ember or a legitimate descendant of the Deep?

Oh, there seems to be no difference between the two.

Don’t ask, the only thing you know is that all of us in the Tianlu system are like this.

"Okay, don't be so startled."

Ye Xian glanced at him indifferently and said, "It's just that this time, that old fox Lu Yingyue will take the blame and help you solve the process and the consequences.

Putting aside the matter of the evil creatures, it would be best if that kind of missile that covers the entire federation does not appear a second time, otherwise the military will be the first to deal with you.

As for the rest, it doesn’t matter. Just do it and do it thoroughly.”

As she spoke, she waved to Ji Jue:

"Okay, where's the stuff?"

"Oh, here it is. I have almost finished writing it..."

Ji Jue instinctively reached into his pocket and grabbed the paper with wet ink. But before he took it out, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from across the wall, staring at him with a resentment that seemed like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

His movements paused, he coughed twice, and lowered his head: "...I have come up with a title, I will show it to you after I finish writing the main text."

"Who asked you this?"

Ye Xian couldn't stand the fight between her own Salted Fish and Curly Dog anymore. She sighed helplessly and pointed at the box that Ji Jue brought in.

"Oh oh oh, so it's this, I thought... cough cough cough..."

Ji Jue felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly picked up the box at his feet and put it on the table.

There is no need for him to operate it.

Ye Xian slightly hooked his fingers, and the box floated over by itself. After the six-layer spiritual essence blockade was opened, the solid alchemy composed of mercury quickly dissolved and returned to liquid.

In the flowing silver light, a broken blade without a guard slowly rose up and fell into her hand.

——Pan Ying!
Different from the incomplete appearance before Ji Jue went out, after experiencing fighting and blood sacrifices along the way, and after several temperings, Pan Ying's sword blank is now more than two feet long, and his murderous intent and hostility are even more violent.

But when it fell into Ye Xian's hands, it became silent, without any signs of rioting, and instead lost all its magical powers, as if it was just a broken iron sword.

It was not until the moment she injected spiritual essence that strands of scarlet began to spread from the spine of the sword, enchanting and eerie, like a piece of blood jade.

However, on the two blades, there was a ray of lively blade light without any flaws.

After the cold light faded away, it became as clear as water.

He flicked his fingers and struck the sword. In an instant, a distant sound rose up, spreading out, and swinging back and forth in the study.

"Among the nine types, the Pan Ying type is the most compatible with your style. It is radical and aggressive, wandering around boundaries, achieving great success and great failure, self-destruction and self-reliance, and even... rapid success and rapid failure.

You know the flaws and hidden dangers, so I won’t waste my words on it.”

Ye Xian commented calmly, "It's rare to reach this level for this first time. However, the details are still sloppy. This is caused by your bad habit of piling up materials. Alchemy is not an entropy-based energy formula. Not everything can be powerful. You should pay attention to this."

She paused, her fingers brushed across the blood jade, the ray of clear light, and nodded slowly: "Compared to this, this work of sharpening is remarkable.

After going out, I have become much calmer and not as irritable as before."

"..." Ji Jue listened quietly, spying on the teacher's expression, and asked tentatively: "So, is this, passed?"

"Yes, qualified."

Ye Xian nodded, not hiding his admiration. No matter how strict he was, he would not suppress the student's achievements in such a judgment: "From the perspective of quality, after completion, it will definitely transcend 'common people'.

In the old days of the Ye family, this would have been enough to earn him a title of nobility."

[Common people], [princes], [Emperor].

This is the triple evaluation of the famous swords in the world in "Talking about Swords", the second part of "Talking about Elephant and Sword".

The swords of the common people, when they collided with each other, cut off the neck and collar, cut off the liver and lungs, and killed the enemy with blood, courage and ferocity. Even if they were extremely sharp, they were only weapons of killing and taking lives. No matter how sharp they were, they would eventually turn into ash.

This is all that can be achieved. Its achievements are limited and it is not of much use.

The swords of the princes are different. They are made to follow the pattern of the round sky to follow the three lights, to follow the pattern of the square earth to follow the four seasons, and to harmonize the human mind to control the eight directions. When they move, they are like thunder and lightning, and within the four boundaries, everyone is submissive.

What is referred to is a sword with the quality of nature. With its sharpness and power, in the hands of a self-reliant person, it is enough to end the chaos of a time and place, control the outcome, and grasp the current situation.

In short, it is an absolutely strategic-level weapon.

All nine sword types contained in the Nine Forms of Elephant Sword have such potential.

As for the higher-level Emperor's Sword... what is it that is regulated by the Five Elements, judged by punishment and virtue; opened by yin and yang, maintained by spring and autumn, and carried out by autumn and winter... what is it that cuts through the clouds above and cuts off the earth below...

Ji Jue just brags about the setting of this thing.

After all, even the records about the sword are extremely vague, and throughout the history of the Ye family, there has only been one Emperor's Sword.

In the past, the second emperor of the Eternal Empire wielded this sword to dominate the world and reorganize the world. The sword has been passed down from generation to generation among the emperors, and the Ye family's profession of swordsmith has therefore been passed down for thousands of generations. It is no wonder that the younger generations respect it so much.

Our ancestors used only a sword to make their descendants suffer for dozens and hundreds of generations. What's wrong with bragging about it? !

If this kind of good thing happened to Ji Jue, Ji Jue would tell everyone that the Emperor's Sword is invincible in the world, and that people like Health, White Deer, Intelligence, Ether, Preparation, and Tianyuan should not get involved. He might even carve monuments all over the world.

At this moment, this broken sword of Pan Ying could receive the evaluation of the princes from the teacher's mouth. Even if it was referring to the finished form in the future, Ji Jue couldn't help but feel excited.

At least it proves that Ye Xian did not choose the wrong person.

Ji Jue does have the qualifications and ability to inherit "The Theory of the Elephant and the Sword" and would not disgrace this inheritance.

"After that, apart from the lack of blessing and recasting, it will be the grinding work of polishing, which won't take up too much energy." Ye Xian threw Pan Ying back into the box and asked slowly: "Among the nine types, do you have any plans for the next one?"

"Well……"

After Ji Jue pondered for a moment, he answered solemnly: "With the experience of Pan Ying, I want to try Yuchang or Chixiao."

The nine types of elephant and sword each have their own tendencies.

Panying is centered around Daqun and has many branches.

What Yuchang and Chixiao are pointing to are Bailu and Jing, Tianyuan and entropy.

The former can transform into invisible form, hide its shape, and can make the weak overpower the strong, causing blood to flow five steps away and the whole world to be in mourning. The latter can rise and change, raising clouds and mist, moving the weather, and controlling all directions.

In response, Ye Xian slowly shook his head.

"You're taking too big a step." She said flatly: "Change direction. Neither of these two is suitable for you at your current stage. It's too difficult to achieve success."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jue did not ask any further questions and just nodded.

The teacher said to change direction, so just change direction. Why are there so many whys?
"Which one do you think is more convenient?" Ji Jue was curious.

"Then it's Chunjun."

Ye Xian thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that the Soul Summoning Bell is broken. If I keep using other people's works, I will have a hard time improving myself. I will take this opportunity to catch up.

Chunjun has the strengths of both transformation and ether, and is aimed at souls and shaping, which complements Panying. It's a bit expensive, but you are not short of money now.

If you succeed, not only can you get started with spiritual essence refining, but you can also combine it with the foundation of the previous dissociation technique to help you complete the basic version of "Jingzhen". "

Upon hearing this, Ji Jue suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and was about to say something but stopped himself.

"Too difficult?" Ye Xian asked.

"Kind of."

Ji Jue thought for a while and shook his head, "To be honest, except for Pan Ying, which can be mastered quickly, the others have their own troubles and difficulties, and the scope they cover is too broad, almost all of the Twelve Supreme Virtues are included.

I don’t know if I can ever finish learning it in my lifetime.”

"..."

Ye Xian was silent for a long time, and the look he gave him suddenly became more... mocking, as if he was looking at a fool: "Do you think that every generation of the Ye family's inheritors are rare geniuses who can master all nine swords?"

"Ah?" Ji Jue was stunned.

"In the inheritance of the Ye family through the generations, the First Ancestor created the source, the Third Ancestor laid the prototype of the Nine Swords, and the Middle Ancestor, by chance, gathered the power of the world, the help of all directions and the combined efforts of all the Ye family inheritors to complete the main body of the Nine Swords.

Since then, successive generations have added to this basis. Up to now, until the demise of the Ye family, neither "Han Xiang" nor "Shuo Jian" can be said to have been completely completed.

Throughout the ages, not to mention the nine swords, there are only a handful of people who can master two swords. Why do you think you can master nine swords?"

Ye Xian raised her eyes and gave a mocking glance: "Or do you think I have succeeded?"

"Ah this..."

Ji Jue was stunned, and only now did he finally react: "No, I don't need it?"

"Don't even mention whether it's necessary or not. Most people wouldn't even have this thought, right? There has to be a limit to being too ambitious."

Ye Xian sneered: "The Nine Sword Forms have now become nine completely different schools and techniques, with completely different concepts and styles.

Among the inheritors of all generations, those who can forge sword blanks for the Nine Swords have already gathered the strengths of all nine types. In the end, they still have to focus on one or open up a new path.

The First Ancestor had never heard of the Nine Swords, but that didn't stop him from creating the Emperor's Sword."

She shook her head and asked, "What I hate most is people who are stuck in the past, and then there are the idiots in books. The path of the predecessors is sometimes also the same as the mistakes of the predecessors.

This is enough to identify the direction, familiarize yourself with the basics, and make up for your shortcomings.”

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and spread out her five fingers.

A ray of crimson and purple spiritual essence rose from her fingertips, just like a pillar in the sky, immovable, majestic, and domineering. Then it turned into azure blue, misty and boundless like the sky... In the complex changes, it finally turned into a dark scarlet, as if the blood was disturbed and violently hungry.

This time, Ji Jue finally recognized it.

That is the blood of Pan Ying!
