The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"Back then, I always thought that the people of Nine Swords Mountain had harmed me. In order to take revenge on Nine Swords Mountain, I left behind a fragmented Heaven-rank cultivation technique that I had comprehended myself, and then I left."

Chi Miao was taken aback: "What, you want to do a good deed anonymously, let people practice it halfway through and then find out it's an incomplete piece, and then you'll be furious?"

That's a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique! It's extremely powerful and incredibly rare, reaching a level that only the top techniques of the Ten Great Sects can achieve. Even having one more fragment can raise your combat power by half a level!

You repay evil with kindness, you're a really good person!

However, the fact that the Pill King was able to create a Heaven-rank cultivation technique on his own shows that his comprehension is top-tier among the top.

However, Dan Wang shook his head: "No..."

He took a deep breath and then said, "If I had only given you a normal fragment, then of course it would be fine."

"But the fragment I gave you is a fragment that guarantees death."

"The first half can indeed greatly increase one's strength, but the second half... will cause one's cultivation level to plummet!"

"In order to thoroughly take revenge on Nine Swords Mountain, I even devised a deception. If one's cultivation level drops drastically, one must go outside the circle to find a herb called Xuan You Grass in order to cure it."

"But how easy is it to break into the outer circle? Powerful demons, all sorts of cruel and monstrous creatures, almost no one who goes there alone can come back alive."

"Back then, nearly half of the people at Nine Swords Mountain practiced this technique, which made Nine Swords Mountain famous for a time. However, their strength suddenly plummeted, and countless people went to the outside world... very few of them survived!"

"But by the time they discovered what was going on, I was already dead..."

His cultivation level was not high, and his lifespan was not that long.

After the incident of his martial arts manual being stolen, he went into seclusion and died not long after.

Before he died, he left his legacy in the Mirror of Rebirth.

Chi Miao was stunned, and his body stiffened.

"It's all my fault... I was so foolish to fall for the Heavenly Sword Sect's trick! It's all my fault!!"

Dan Wang's voice grew softer and softer, but his tears became increasingly uncontrollable.

He choked up.

Chi Miao remained silent for a long time, his heart filled with complex emotions, because Nine Swords Mountain... had indeed recorded this matter.

Nine Swords Mountain was originally ranked among the top three of the ten major sects, and its position remained stable.

Since this disaster that ravaged the cultivation techniques, the techniques have been listed as forbidden arts, and the strength of Nine Swords Mountain has fallen to the bottom of the top ten sects.

Furthermore, the nourishment of the Weeping Sword has caused the spiritual energy concentration of Nine Swords Mountain to decrease... After so many years, it has become difficult to climb back up.

If they hadn't made such great contributions to the cultivation world, their title as one of the top ten sects should have been revoked long ago.

Without a doubt, this incident was an unprecedented blow to Nine Swords Mountain.

She looked at King Dan.

Dan Wang took a deep breath: "It's all my fault..."

He took several steps back, then knelt down with a "thud".

He looked at Chi Miao and laughed like a madman.

"With my five spiritual roots, I was destined to be abandoned by heaven. All the sects looked down on me. Back then, only Nine Swords Mountain was willing to take me in, giving me a place to stay and preventing me from having to return to the mortal world to farm and wander aimlessly."

"And yet, due to a moment of foolishness, I was deceived and committed such a heinous crime, causing my fellow disciples of Nine Swords Mountain to meet an untimely end. I... I am guilty beyond measure!!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Chi Miao!

Snapped!

He had just gotten up when he kowtowed again!

Snapped!

He repeated this process countless times, until his head was bleeding.

Venerable Qingmeng quickly stepped in to speak up for him: "Chi Miao, you...you're just going to let him keep kowtowing like that?"

Chi Miao's long, thick eyelashes drooped slightly: "How can he remain calm if I don't make him kowtow?"

She knew all too well that the source of everything was not his fault, but that damned founding patriarch of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Wenren Yin.

They forcibly seized the cultivation technique, driving people to this point.

But Dan Wang did indeed cause the deaths of many fellow disciples of Nine Swords Mountain.

Even if she forgives him, he himself will not.

If this can calm him down, then it doesn't matter how many times he hits me.

Venerable Qingmeng remained silent for a long while, feeling extremely distressed; the scene was too heartbreaking to watch.

A misunderstanding led to such a huge disaster.

After an unknown amount of time, Dan Wang finally regained some consciousness.

He clenched his fingers so tightly that his palms bled.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect... its crimes are unforgivable!!"

"Now that I am dead, I am no longer able to atone for my sins with my own hands!"

"Young lady...may I...may I still beg you?"

He was no longer as proud as before; he looked at Chi Miao with a dejected, humble, and pleading expression.

Chi Miao nodded: "Please go ahead."

The Pill King said, "I'm handing over all my skills to you... If you like them, take them!"

"Your talent is extraordinary; one day you will grow to an immeasurable level. I hope that one day you can seek justice for me... for Nine Swords Mountain!"

"Let the Heavenly Sword Sect's shameful past be exposed! Let the fallen comrades of Nine Swords Mountain... rest in peace!!"

"If you... don't mind that my cultivation technique has caused the deaths of my fellow disciples."

His voice trembled as he spoke.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to personally kill the Heavenly Sword Sect, but he was already dead.

Chi Miao sighed and said, "I have no right to choose whether to forgive for our seniors, but if you want to atone for your sins, I agree."

Suddenly, her eyes sharpened.

"After all, this is something the Heavenly Sword Sect owes us, causing my Nine Swords Mountain to suffer like this. As a disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, I naturally have to seek revenge for Nine Swords Mountain."

"Even if it's not you, I will still let the world know."

"The Heavenly Sword Sect has stolen the fortune of my Nine Swords Mountain disciples, tarnished the reputation of Nine Swords Mountain, and defiled the robes of Nine Swords Mountain!"

In both her past and present lives, she has been unable to have any good karma due to the "Yama Curse". She can't remember her previous life. In her entire memory, only Nine Swords Mountain and the people of Nine Swords Mountain gave her the warmth of home.

At first, I thought the Heavenly Sword Sect was just a rival, and that it was a fair competition.

I never imagined they would resort to such despicable tactics behind the scenes!

Those people with the surname Wenren are indeed no good!

With tears in his eyes, Dan Wang expressed his gratitude: "This...is enough! Thank you for your kindness, young friend!"

After saying that, he added, "My cultivation method is extremely special. People all say that those with five spiritual roots are useless, so I have devoted my whole life to trying to change the status of cultivators with five spiritual roots."

"Because I am one of the five spiritual roots."

"The more spiritual roots and attributes my cultivation method has, the greater the gains and the stronger it becomes."

"I just saw that you used six spiritual roots. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it in my life. Six spiritual roots are truly rare!"

"To have cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age with your six spiritual roots is truly remarkable, a rare talent indeed! If you were to cultivate my technique... as long as you reach the Golden Core stage, you would become the strongest Golden Core cultivator!"

Chi Miao shook his head: "I don't have six spiritual roots."

Dan Wang: "?"

Venerable Qingmeng: "Stop pretending! Don't be a fool! I saw it with my own eyes. You just used six different elemental powers. My eyes are like a ruler!"

The Mirror Spirit sneered.

"Two mongrel dogs."

"My mother doesn't have six spiritual roots; my mother has genuine dual spiritual roots!"

"A dual-elemental cultivator with both Yang and Thunder spiritual roots!"
