Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being - Chapter 569

Chapter 569 – Decline and Prosperity

Edited by Molly and Ea

Yan Tianhen’s eyes appeared lifeless, he looked at Gu Ruyu and said, “Even if I’m not giving, I was still so decisively rejected, and I even ran away. It is such a shameful thing, and I can’t take even a little shame, it will take a few more days before I have the courage to continue to face Huarong Sword Immortal.”

Gu Ruyu was comforted, saying, “It’s considered some progress that you know it’s a shameful thing.”

Yan Tianhen, “….. Get lost, get lost!”

Reaching this point, Gu Ruyu naturally wouldn’t stop him from secluding to make pills.

Don’t look at Yan Tianhen’s appearance of not caring about anything. In reality, he felt very miserable right now. It was also a good thing for him to seclude and practice pill making. At least when Yan Tianhen was making pills, his mind was free from distractions, and he was more stable than an old monk.

Yan Tianhen did intend to go into seclusion for ten days to a half month, and wait until his heart calmed down then come out. However, before he went into seclusion, he suddenly remembered that he was a few days away from the appointment with the unknown martial brother. Yan Tianhen had asked someone to go to the appointment for him. Even though he feared that the elder martial brother might not have found the secret book he wanted, he should always give thanks to others.

However, today, Yan Tianhen went to borrow some books on tips of Poison Pills for reference when refining Silver Frost Poison Pill. The library was still quiet, and walking through the place not many people were seen.

When Yan Tianhen was just about to take the Alchemist book he needed, the book was taken away by another hand.

Yan Tianhen turned his head and looked with a bit of surprise. “Martial Brother, why are you here? I was thinking of sending someone to see you in my place in a few days.” This was the Elder Martial Brother who said before that he would help Yan Tianhen find the secret book.

The teal-robed Elder Martial Brother held the book, smiled and said, “I’ve been waiting here for you to come these days.”

After a moment, Yan Tianhen said with embarrassment, “There are too many things I am busy with these days, so I didn’t come to the library. I’ve troubled Elder Martial Brother.”

The teal-robed Elder Martial Brother showed very good temper and said, “I’m here almost every day, not just to wait for you. The secret menual you asked me to find last time, I have already found it. But only the rubbings.”

Yan Tianhen was overjoyed. His eyes lit up, shining as they looked at the Elder Martial Brother. He said, “To be able to find it, Elder Martial Brother is amazing!”

Elder Martial Brother took out the secret script from a storage bag and handed it to Yan Tianhen. He said, “This sword style is called 《Decline and Prosperity》. One withered, one prosperous, success can only be achieved if one masters both sides. You must cultivate the two in alternating order to progress.”

Yan Tianhen had never heard of this secret book, but he only flipped through two pages, and then put it into his storage place. He solemnly said to the Elder Martial Brother, “Thank you, Elder Martial Brother for going through the trouble. I don’t know how Elder Martial Brother should be addressed.”

“My name is Rong Zhaoxi. I am a sword cultivator of the sect.” Esteemed Tianshu said his original name, and he still had an inclusive smile in his eyes, “This sword style was prepared for those with Yin-Yang physiques, heavenly marrow, and half-demon constitutions. If you cultivate with it, you will get twice the result with half the effort. However, you will have to find your own sword.”

Yan Tianhen paused and asked, “Concealed Sword Pavilion?”

Tianshu nodded. “The Concealed Sword Pavilion is a place dedicated to collecting and storing famous swords under the name of Sword God Hall, but it is located on a high cliff. Concealed Sword Mountain is unreachable, and there is no top. The road to climbing up has layers of difficulty. The swords of Concealed Sword Pavilion have spiritual Qi, not only so people pick the swords, but the swords also pick the people. Most people have no fate with the swords of Concealed Sword Pavilion, and they will not find any swords or climb to the top anyway. If there is a destined relationship, the sword will take the initiative to jump to the side of the selected master and take them down the mountain.”

Esteemed Tianshu looked towards him and asked, “Would you like to have a try?”

Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but get excited.

He had already heard of Myriad Dao Academy’s famous Concealed Sword Pavilion. It was said that there were two famous swords in the world there, and on the Nine Lands’ Divine Weapons Ranking, Myriad Dao Academy’s Divine Weapons accounted for half of the top ten seats, which was a great honor.

Yan Tianhen hurriedly nodded and said, “If I have the qualification to go up the mountain, I will naturally try it.”

Esteemed Tianshu said, “When you have refined 《Decline and Prosperity》 to a beginner’s level, you can try to choose a sword. Let’s make it clear first, if those swords despise you, you can’t cry.”

Yan Tainhen giggled and said, “Naturally, it is impossible to cry. There must be a sword suitable for me out there under the heavens. Elder Martial Brother has helped me a lot, and I don’t know how to repay Elder Martial Brother. Elder Martial Brother, if you ever need anything, you can tell me so I can repay you.”

It seems that “Tianshu” was not lacking in contribution points. The rank of this 《Decline and Prosperity》 was at least Earth Rank. If someone wanted to get the rubbings, they would need a lot of contribution points.

Esteemed Tianshu thought for a moment, then said, “In fact, I don’t really have anything that needs your help, but looking at you like this, if I don’t ask you for anything, you might be upset. How about this? Give me some bottles of pills that you sell in your shop. Let me see if the pills refined by the Little Pill King are really a beauty treatment.”

Yan Tianhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I didn’t expect that Brother Rong would attach so much importance to looks.”

Esteemed Tianshu was not ashamed but proud. He said, “That’s inevitable. Everyone has a love of beauty. Who wouldn’t want to become even more beautiful?”

“That’s true” Yan Tianhen immediately took out all the bottles and generously stuffed them into Tianshu’s hands, saying, “Few men are as unpretentious as Elder Martial Brother Rong.”

Tianshu was also not polite and didn’t leave anything behind, and was very accepting of Yan Tianhen’s flattery.

Before leaving, Esteemed Tianshu told him, “This 《Decline and Prosperity》 can also be called 《Prosperity and Decline》, but the difference lies only in the order of cultivation. If you are still a virgin, cultivate 《Decline and Prosperity》, and if you have broken your virginity, you should cultivate 《Prosperity and Decline》. Don’t reverse the order, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.” When Tianshu said this, he suddenly turned his face and said, “Otherwise, I can check it for you? Although you look like a young boy, however, maybe you already had skin contact with others in your sleep.”

Yan Tianhen blushed and said, “I’ve never been…. with anyone before.”

Virginity was very important in some Cultivation methods, and could drive people to death, just like the “Butterfly Transformation Dual Cultivation” method Yuan Tianwen cultivated, virginity was a checkpoint.

However, in many cultivation methods virginity was an insignificant thing, and even during cultivation, you couldn’t detect the state of your virginity.

Yan Tianhen’s cultivation method was precisely a secret method that had nothing to do with virginity, so he never detected his own virginity and couldn’t feel whether he had lost his virginity or not. He had only one unforgettable sweetheart whom he would never forget even for a moment. He had never been with anyone in the past years, and naturally he wouldn’t randomly lose his virginity.

Therefore, Yan Tianhen took it for granted that his virginity was still there.

After thanking Tianshu many times, Yan Tianhen left with the secret book and the alchemy books.

Tianshu Sword Saint looked at him from behind, touched his nonexistent beard, smiled contentedly, and then took out a magic treasure for sound transmission and said, “I have completed the task you entrusted me with, and after he has mastered 《Decline and Prosperity》, I will induct him into Sword God Hall and accept him as a disciple.”

Huarong Sword Immortal seldomly asked for anything and took care of Sword God Hall for him for so long. Naturally, no matter what requirement he had, Tianshu Sword Saint would do his best.

Yan Tianhen went into seclusion again, in order to refine the Silver Frost Poison Pill for Shi Yi.

A few days later, the East Courtyard gave birth to new rumors, this time the source was Tong Zishu.

No one knew who did it, but Tong Zishu was dragged into the alley and beaten up. Although he didn’t break his bones, he suffered flesh and blood wounds, and his head was bleeding, no matter what it was a disgrace.

The academy’s supervision team attached great importance to this matter and immediately launched an investigation, but also couldn’t find the culprit. The culprit actually didn’t leave any trace, in the end the investigation could only let Tong Zhishu have pent up grievances.

Although Tong Zishu’s group suspected that Yan Tianhen had done it, Yan Tianhen had already been in seclusion for many days, and they could not find any evidence, so they had to give up.

However, since then, Tong Zhishu had been much more cautious than before, at least he wouldn’t gather people to talk about Yan Tianhen behind his back in public. Yan Tianhen, who was in seclusion, knew nothing about this matter, he was quietly refining the Silver Frost Poison Pill, and his technique was becoming more and more perfect, and he had no distractions. Originally such a high grade poison pill should’ve taken him a month to refine, but he had refined it in only half a month’s time.

A poison pill, which was completely dark and had some silver frost covering it, fell into the palm of his hand. Yan Tianhen only felt free of worry, and it turned out to be a faint sign of breakthrough. He was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately sat cross-legged, taking advantage of this opportunity to absorb the spiritual Qi of the world, the essence of the sun and the moon, and letting the primordial energy wander around his body for several complete circulations.

In the cave day and night could not be seen. Yan Tianhen was immersed in his own world, and had not moved for a long time.

The spiritual Qi hovering over the secret room, while escaping through the gaps, this unusual scene had long been noticed.

“Who is in the cultivation room?”

“It seems to have been a few days, I remember it should be a disciple of the Alchemy Division.”

“Looking at the situation, he seems to be breaking through the peak of Primary Realm’s Blood Breakthrough Stage.”

“Maybe it will attract a Lightning tribulation.”

”….”

Many people were watching the entrance.

Although every few days there would be breakthroughs at Myriad Dao Academy, seeing it with their own eyes could naturally make people have more realizations on the road to cultivation. If they were lucky enough to come across it, the disciples were very happy to watch.

Suddenly someone said, “But don’t you guys think the time he is taking to break through is a little too long?”

If ordinary people break through the peak of Primary Realm’s Blood Breakthrough Stage and directly enter Profound Realm, one month was enough, but this disciple had been in seclusion for more than three entire months, but there had not been any movement. If it wasn’t for the spiritual Qi that didn’t dissipate yet indicating that the person inside was still breaking through, some people might have thought that the person inside was dead.

At this time, Yan Tianhen, whose mind and spirit were already in an ethereal state, came upon a place he had never seen before.

It was a tall building and the top was unseeable. It seemed to reach the top of the sky and it could pick stars if it had hands. It was magnificent. It felt like it had an imperial interior.

Yan Tianhen did not know where this was, so he looked around at the men and women who came and went with trays, stepped forward, and stopped a young man. Just as he was opening his mouth to speak, the servant walked through his body.

Yan Tianhen, “.…..What is happening?”
