Chapter 417: There’s a Price To Acting Cool

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

“Senior Brother Bai Zai is so handsome!”

“Senior Brother Bai Zai is so handsome when he gets serious!”

“Ah! My heart can’t take it anymore.”

The female disciples in the crowd had amorous eyes, and they couldn’t have been more emotional.

The others were looking forward to what would happen next, especially curious to see how Qin Chuan would react.

Qin Chuan looked at Bai Zai, who had an imposing aura and couldn’t help but smile disdainfully.

He hated it most when people put on airs in front of him.

“Bai Zai, is it?”

“Junior Brother has a piece of advice for you.”

“There’s a price to pay for acting cool…”

Just as Bai Zai was about to respond, Qin Chuan revealed his Sword Soul.

“Sword—”

‘With a wave of his hand, the swords that everyone present was carrying flew out of their sheaths and hovered above Qin Chuan’s head.

At the same time, the sound of whistling wind came from afar.

Densely packed swords whizzed over from afar like birds, staying on top of Qin Chuan.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes filled with shock.

The same went for Bai Zai.

He stared at Qin Chuan. “Sword… Sword Soul!”

“N-No way,” said Bai Zai, shaking his head again. “How could someone from the Lower realm possess a soul? And it’s the Sword Soul that all sword cultivators dream of.

“Impossible, impossible, I must have been mistaken. ”

Bai Zai tried his best to convince himself, but there was no way he saw things. The opponent before him was definitely a Sword Soul.

‘There was a faint smile played on the corner of Qin Chuan’s lips. With a light tap of his finger, the swords that filled the sky fused together with his sword energy, turning into a gigantic sword.

The huge sword stood tall in the sky, exuding an oppressive aura that weighed down on everyone’s shoulders like a mountain.

‘The arrogance on Bai Zai’s face was gone, and his imposing aura was nothing against this sword.

However, he did not take a step back. He was not intimidated.

“I didn’t expect you to have a Sword Soul. You sure are lucky,” said Bai Zai calmly.

His words woke everyone up.

“What? He… he has a Sword Soul?”

“The spiritual energy in the Lower realm is so scattered; how could the people there possess souls?”

“I don’t believe he has a soul. He must have some powerful magical artifact on him.”

Most people didn’t believe that Qin Chuan possessed the Sword Soul.

To be honest, Qin Chuan did not have a soul, but he could inherit all the abilities of the system sect’s disciples.

This cheat-like ability allowed him to have whatever soul he wanted.

“Bai Zai, if you want to be in the spotlight, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

‘As soon as he finished his words, the giant sword in the sky began to glow with resplendent light. Like a gem shining in the night sky, it was colorful and exceptionally beautiful.

‘As the saying went, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was.

The halo that was expanding around the giant sword made everyone feel suffocated. The pressure was growing.

Bai Zai, in particular, was bent over with cold sweat trickling down his face. Instantly, a huge puddle formed on the ground.

“Damn it!” said Bai Zai through gritted teeth. He tried to get up, but the more he resisted, the stronger the pressure on him became.

Bai Zai’s body was bending lower and lower; he was probably at his limit.

Initially, he was all fired up, but now he was in an extremely sorry state.

At this moment, the entire venue was silent.

Everyone was quiet.

Qin Chuan’s strength had exceeded their expectations.

‘There were many Mahayana realm disciples present, but they were all suppressed by the aura exuded by the giant sword.

Under normal circumstances, only those who were a major realm above them could do this.

However, Qin Chuan was also in the Mahayana realm like them, which meant that his actual strength was terrifying.

If Bai Zai could wound a Heavenly Immortal, then Qin Chuan definitely had the power to kill one.

One could wound, yet the other could kill.

Even though there was only a word that was different, it held a world of difference.

In the end, Bai Zai was forced to the ground and found it difficult to even look up.

Even so, he wasn’t convinced.

‘That was how geniuses were; they wouldn’t accept others as being stronger than them.

All geniuses had their own pride.

“What’s the point of putting up a strong front?” Qin Chuan smiled. “If you insist on persevering, I shall crush your arrogance entirely.”

“Sword Soul – Liberation!”

Inan instant, the sky lit up with countless sword beams. Like the stars that filled the sky, the sight was spectacular.

“This… this…”

Everyone looked up at the sky, stunned, speechless.

The sky was filled with countless strands of sword energy, and the sharpness exuding from them was as scorching as the sun. It made one break out in a cold sweat and give up all intention of resisting.

Bai Zai looked up with difficulty.

He saw the scene in the sky.

‘At that moment, he was stunned beyond words.

‘The next second, he smiled.

At that moment, the arrogance in Bai Zai’s heart was utterly crushed.

He buried his head in the ground, laughing and crying at the same time.

In the Underground Palace, Beautiful Abode.

“Great Elder, is there really no need to intervene in such a major incident?” asked an elder.

Stroking his beard, Great Elder Bai Kongchen said, “He’s Elder Lan Lang’s sworn brother now. What are you going to do about it?”

His words were targeted at Lan Lang.

Lan Lang was also present, wearing a cold, arrogant look on his face.

He was the head of the disciplinary office, and Qin Chuan was his sworn brother. They couldn’t do anything about his sworn brother. As long as no one died, there was nothing they could do.

“Elder Lan Lang, we promised you that we wouldn’t fight with you to take Qin Xiaochuan as a disciple, but you never said you would become sworn brothers with him!” said an elder.

“Look at the situation now. From now on, the third division won’t have peace anymore.”

Lan Lang said, “What’s so bad about that? The competition in the Immortal realm is fierce, and the livelier it is, the more it will facilitate the disciples’ cultivation.”

“You’re right, but you and Qin Chuan are different in terms of seniority. That’s going to ruin our sect’s reputation. It’s ridiculous for an Immortal King to become swom brothers with a new disciple. It would be terrible if word got out.”

Lan Lang said disdainfully, “In that case, I won’t cause any trouble for the sect, I’ll leave the sect with Qin Xiaochuan.”

“Elder Lan Lang, these words are… to-too much.”

“Is that too much? My legs are all mine. I don’t need to be judged by others when I want to go anywhere.”

Lan Lang was an Immortal King and a sword cultivator at that. He was powerful, and there was no reason for him to worry about what would happen if he left the sect. He was certain that many sects would immediately extend an olive branch to him.

“Alright, alright. Stop arguing,” said Great Elder Bai Kongchen, trying to calm everyone down as a mediator.

“Elders, please disperse!”

“Stay, Lan Lang. I have something to tell you.”

‘The Great Elder’s expression was solemn, demonstrating his authority.

Seeing this, everyone dispersed.

Only the Great Elder and Lan Lang were left in the hall.

“Lan Lang, I understand why you are so hung up on Qin Chuan,” said the Great Elder. “If it weren’t for what happened back then, you two wouldn’t have become sworn brothers.”

Lan Lang sighed. “Do you think I did the right thing, Senior Brother?”

‘The Great Elder smiled. “What right do I have to judge? But to tell you the truth, as your senior brother, I’ll always support your decision, no matter what it takes.”

He paused for a moment before continuing. “Since you and Qin Chuan have become sworn siblings, are your inner demons gone?”

Lan Lang said, “It won’t be that easy. But I’m doing better than before. My cultivation realm has loosened up a little. I have a hunch that I should be able to break through soon.”

‘The Great Elder’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

Lan Lang nodded solemnly.

‘The Great Elder was overjoyed. “That’s great!”

Lan Lang said, “Senior Brother, my enemies are probably already aware of Qin Xiaochuan and I becoming sworn siblings. His safety…”

‘The Great Elder said, “Don’t worry about that. As long as Qin Xiaochuan is in the sect, I guarantee his safety.”

Lan Lang cupped his fists and bowed. “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

The Great Elder said, “There’s no need to thank me. This is what I should do, consider it to make up for my past mistakes!”

Lan Lang smiled. “Let bygones be bygones!

“You did nothing wrong, Senior Brother. I was the one who caused all of this. I only have myself to blame for not being strong enough.

“If I were an Immortal Emperor, all these wouldn’t have happened.”

The Great Elder said, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The world isn’t exactly peaceful right now. I went to the headquarters for a meeting some time ago. I heard that the Beast Taming Corps got into a conflict with a mysterious force and lost a few Emperors. The conflict hasn’t ended yet. I

wonder how long it will last.”

Lan Lang’s expression changed. “What kind of force could cause such a loss to the Beast Taming Corps?”

The Great Elder looked up at the sky and sighed. “Perhaps the Great Tribulation is really coming.”
