Just as Wu Ye was worrying about Meng Chuchu’s matter, a major event occurred in the entire Northern Spirit Realm, causing a huge uproar.
A year ago, the young sect master of the Sky Cloud Sect and the Saintess of the Beast Master Sect had an affair. The Saintess got pregnant out of wedlock.
The sect master of the Sky Cloud Sect, Xiao Zhantian, got a grandson after being divined by a divination master.
However, the Beast Master Sect did not approve of this marriage because their Saintess made the decision on her own.
After the discussion was delayed for more than half a year, it was time for the Saintess to give birth.
At this point, the two sects had no choice but to form an alliance.
On the day the Saintess gave birth, seven-colored auspicious clouds descended from the sky. There was even a spirit rain baptism.
It was as if heaven and earth were congratulating Xiao Fei’s arrival.
Due to this, the Saintess contracted a spirit beast, which was the green-scaled python, and began to transform it into a flood dragon.
After that, it spat out an Innate Water Spirit Pearl.
It was originally an ordinary water spirit pearl, but after being stained with the newborn’s innate qi and undergoing a transformation, it had now become the newborn’s life-companion spirit treasure.
It was rumored that there were mysterious spirit patterns appearing on the Innate Water Spirit Pearl that could allow one to cultivate a supreme secret technique.
The sect master of the Sky Cloud Sect, Xiao Zhantian, and the young sect master, Xiao Jianqiu, were smiling so broadly that they could not close their mouths. They lit up the lanterns, put up decorations, and invited everyone to a banquet.
All of a sudden, the Sky Cloud Sect was in the limelight.
The outside world was speculating that the newborn, Xiao Fei, would definitely be favored once he had grown up.
Unfortunately…
Half a year ago, Xiao Fei’s Innate Water Spirit Pearl was forcefully snatched away by someone.
In fact, it was a life-companion item. In a sense, it was a part of Xiao Fei’s body, which was the most important part.
This innate spirit item was already bound to Xiao Fei’s innate spirit root.
Instead, Xiao Fei, who had his Innate Water Spirit Pearl snatched away, lost all of his cultivation talent. He suddenly fell from heaven to hell and became trash that was even worse than an ordinary person.
After learning that his grandson’s Innate Water Spirit Pearl was taken away, Xiao Zhantian was furious. The entire sect was filled with a monstrous sword intent that did not dissipate for several months!
“If anyone can find out who took my grandson’s Innate Water Spirit Pearl, I’ll promise them three things.”
A rolling sound wave was emitted from the Sky Cloud Sect.
The Sky Cloud Sect was one of the top five sword sects with many powerful cultivators in it. They had countless secret techniques, and their foundation was not something ordinary people could imagine.
Everyone wanted the three promises from Xiao Zhantian.
The promises were enough for them to roam freely in the Northern Spirit Realm.
Xiao Jianqiu resigned from his position in the sect. He vowed not to kill his son’s murderer and take back the Innate Water Spirit Pearl. He would also never return to the sect and see his wife and son.
As his cultivation had already broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, his strength was extremely powerful.
Also, he was a sword genius.
The sword path in the same realm had an absolute advantage.
His strength could be said to be invincible in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Therefore, when he began to wander around the Northern Spirit Realm to look for the murderer behind it, the various factions in the Northern Spirit Realm began to become restless. They all mobilized their connections and prepared to find the culprit.
Of course, there were also some cultivators with malicious intentions who wanted to snatch the Innate Water Spirit Pearl.
…
At this moment in the Sword Control Sect.
In the sect’s meeting hall.
Zhang Qishan sat at the very top, and the elders of the various peaks sat on both sides.
“Elders, Xiao Zhantian’s grandson’s Innate Water Spirit Pearl has been stolen. Should we go to the Sky Cloud Sect and search for the culprit?
“I’d like to hear your opinions.”
Zhang Qishan’s gaze swept across the elders below as he asked in a deep voice.
“Half a year ago, on the day of the Sky Cloud Sect master’s grandson, Xiao Fei, was born, a phenomenon descended from the sky. Xiao Fei’s mother’s innate spirit beast even spat out an Innate Water Spirit Pearl, causing the various great sects to be extremely envious.”
“Although this Innate Water Spirit Pearl has great fortune, it also comes with danger.”
“Yeah, who wouldn’t want an Innate Water Spirit Pearl that can awaken a supreme secret technique and inscribe divine inscriptions?”
“Xiao Fei is unfortunate. He is still in his infancy, yet he has to endure such a painful thing.”
“The sect leader of the Sky Cloud Sect has made three promises. I believe that all the various forces will be alarmed.”
“As the current leader of the top five sword sects, I believe that the Ten Thousand Sword Sect will participate in this.”
“The Sword Control Sect isn’t famous among the top five sword sects. We’re only at the development stage. There’s no need to fight with other sects, right?”
“I agree with Elder Xu’s words.”
“Yeah, that makes sense…”
The elders discussed.
Most of the elders did not agree with the Sword Control Sect getting involved in this mess.
“If that’s the case, the Sword Control Sect won’t participate.”
Zhang Qishan nodded and made the decision.
Meanwhile in the herb garden.
The corners of Wu Ye’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing an arc. He lay on the rattan chair with his eyes slightly closed, muttering, “Innate Water Spirit Pearl… That’s interesting.”
Wu Ye had read many Xianxia novels in his life, especially the plot of the secret treasure being stolen.
Almost in an instant, dozens of stories appeared in his mind.
“Which one is it?”
An hour later, Meng Chuchu, who had finished her morning sword practice, walked behind him. She clenched her fists and tapped on Wu Ye’s shoulder.
“Senior Brother, why did you call me here?”
Wu Ye slowly sat up, his eyes slightly serious. He looked at her and said, “There is indeed an important matter.
“Chuchu, there is something wrong with your talent. Your spirit veins are really weak. No matter how you cultivate, it’s very difficult for you to be like a normal cultivator.”
Meng Chuchu lowered her head in shame and said with self-reproach, “I’m too stupid. I’ve brought shame on you.”
In her opinion, she had wasted a large amount of spirit herbs every day. Furthermore, she had learned such good cultivation techniques. Even the weapon used to practice the sword was a top-grade treasure.
However, her current cultivation was still stuck at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Wu Ye knew everything. He was the sole inheritor of the Sword Control Sect’s sword master. His strength was unfathomable.
As his junior sister, her strength was still at the lowest level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
This made Meng Chuchu feel that she had let him down.
Seeing Meng Chuchu’s guilty look, Wu Ye surely knew what was on her mind. He shook his head in amusement.
“Chuchu, you don’t have to blame yourself. I’m not blaming you either.
“You don’t have to take these things so seriously. I don’t need them now. It’s a waste to keep them. It’s just right for you to use them.
“I called you here today because I’ve found a way to solve the problem of your constitution and talent.”
Wu Ye said with a smile.
“Oh, how?” A touch of excitement appeared on Meng Chuchu’s face.
“Chuchu, have you heard about the Innate Water Spirit Pearl recently?” Wu Ye asked with a smile.
“Uh-huh.” Meng Chuchu nodded in puzzlement.
“I plan to snatch the Innate Water Spirit Pearl for you.”
“Huh?”
Meng Chuchu looked at the confident Wu Ye with a dumbfounded expression while standing rooted to the ground..
