Everyone looked at Caspian and asked, “What are we toasting to this time?”
Caspian pondered for a moment, then smiled. “To our unfettered youth with the least trouble.”
Everyone looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes. Although they did not know who would go further or fall behind in the journey to immortality, at least for now, everyone had a group of companions who could support one another. No matter how difficult it was, there were people around for better or worse. No matter how big the troubles were, they would become long-lasting memories on the immortal pathway in the future because of their shared youth.
“A toast to time!”
“A toast for our friendship!”
“A toast for our fates!”
After the great party of exchanging drinks and conversations, everyone was drunk and left one after another as the moon hung up high in the sky.
When leaving the Sword Pavilion, there was a hint of drunkenness in Caspian’s eyes, and his gaze was hazy. However, his sight turned clearer, and his tipsiness gradually disappeared as favonovel.com walked on the mountain road.
Handsome laid on Caspian’s shoulder, and the little pig suddenly said, “Caspian, you’re troubled.”
Caspian tilted his head to look at the pig and replied lightly, “I thought you were asleep.”
“I did fall asleep at the time,” Handsome muttered, “But now I’m in good spirits. I think your friends are all great, and the sect you belong to should be amazing too, right? What are you worried about?”
Caspian chuckled but did not answer.
“It’s fine if you don’t say it.” Handsome snorted angrily.
Caspian pondered for a moment, then shook his head and answered, “I don’t know exactly what I’m worried about right now, but when your father tells me about the Myriad Demons Burial Ground and the city, I guess I’ll understand a little bit…”
Handsome grunted disdainfully. “You’ll have to wait. There may be news in three or four months.”
“Sure.” Caspian nodded.
Then, the man and the pig did not continue their conversation. Caspian sped through the mountains and rivers, and favonovel.com finally arrived at his residence after two hours. The originally empty land now had a large mansion. Although it was not luxurious, it showed the charm that an immortal sect should have.
Caspian walked around the mansion, nodding secretly. Handsome also stood on his shoulders, tutting praises. Handsome was even more impressed at the spiritual Qi the old elder mentioned in the morning.
Compared to cultivators, monsters were more sensitive to the essence of the world. Hence, Handsome’s eyes immediately lit up when they entered the area. Moreover, since the place was rich in spiritual Oi, it would not only help Caspian but also help Handsome’s in its cultivation.
After walking around the mansion, Caspian did not enter the house directly but walked toward the standing rock not far ahead. The old elder mentioned that Leonard used to train his swordsmanship in the Spring of the Sword Spirit, and Caspian naturally would go and admire it. Under the moonlight, the rock revealed a dark red color, like a tall bamboo shoot standing on the ground. The ground around the rock sank downward to form a pit about the height of an adult, covering an area of about two acres.
Even before getting close to the rock, Caspian could feel an intimidating aura from it. Then, Caspian stopped and focused on his surroundings, and a playful look appeared on his face.
Even though the grass around the Spring of the Sword Spirit was lusher than anywhere else, Caspian noticed at a closer look that their tips seemed to have been cut by something sharp.
Every blade of grass was like that!
“The sword power of the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword?” Caspian gave it a thought, took a deep breath, and approached the rock.
“Caspian, what are you going to do?” Handsome had a nervous look in its eyes, and it grabbed on Caspian‘s shoulders with its hooves. The pig also felt the oppression of the sword.
“There’s danger there!” Handsome reminded in a low voice.
“I know, that’s why I want to go and see it,” Caspian answered, keeping his pace. Since favonovel.com felt that sword power, it would be a waste of such an opportunity if Caspian did not take a look. However, Caspian did not rush to the rock.
After all, the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword was a Heavenly Stars Sect’s treasure. Nonetheless, even if favonovel.com was not slashed at the head by it, Caspian probably could not handle even taking a look at the sword light. Even with the remaining sword power, Caspian still did not dare to be careless. Finally, after walking halfway around the Spring of the Sword Spirit, Caspian stopped and smiled. On the back of the rock, Caspian saw a sword mark from top to bottom.
The sword marks are about one meter long, and the incisions were as clean as mirrors. Yet, Caspian felt the tearing sensation in the air oppressing favonovel.com by just looking at it. It was as if his soul was to be caught on the edge of the storm, and if favonovel.com tried to take a step forward, favonovel.com would be torn to shreds.
Handsome shivered uncontrollably, and the pig stuttered, “Cas… Caspian… That old man‘s not trying… Trying to hurt you, right…”
“He’s not,” Caspian shook his head, “If it’s a bit too much for you, you can go back and hide. Don’t face it directly.”
“Oh!” Handsome nodded. In that instant, the little pig seemed to have noticed something and widened its eyes in disbelief. “Caspian! What are you trying to do?!”
“Of course…” Caspian grinned, “To own it.”
“You’re crazy!” Handsome shrieked.
“You’re the crazy one if you keep on shouting,” Caspian looked askance at Handsome, “Why don’t you shout once more? Then, everyone will know tomorrow that a demon pig was killed on the spot by an outer disciple for yelling in the middle of the night.”
“You! You‘re the demon pig!” Seeing that Caspian was about to take a step forward, Handsome hurriedly kicked its hind legs and ducked into the distance like a white light. As it fled, the pig muttered, “I persuaded you with good intentions! Hmph. I don’t bother to care about you if you don’t listen!”
Although Handsome said that, the little pig scurried behind the big tree dozens of meters away and still poked its head, looking at Caspian. At that moment, Caspian already walked toward that sword mark step by step. Then, when favonovel.com was thirty meters away from the rock, favonovel.com felt the pressure. At that time, Caspian was about a meter closer to the rock, and the pressure in the surroundings gradually intensified.
“It’s still bearable.” Caspian secretly nodded and continued walking forward.
When favonovel.com reached a distance of twenty-five meters, Caspian saw that the plants under his feet did not move, but the air around favonovel.com already swirled, and the tips of his hair were blown.
At a distance of ten meters, Caspian’s eyes narrowed. He could clearly hear the faint sound of wind and thunder rolling in the surrounding air, and the source of the sound was that sword mark!
It was as if the sound was a warning from the sword mark, telling Caspian that favonovel.com offended it, and it would not show mercy if Caspian got closer!
“That’s quite interesting.” Caspian stood at a distance of ten meters for a moment, and favonovel.com suddenly let out a long laugh before taking a big step forward.
