What If I Can't Die?

Fu Yuhua accepted it humbly and revealed a thoughtful expression. He reflected on his own situation and soon fell into deep thought. "I'll take two more steps again."

He adjusted his strength, each step faster than the last. Not long after, each step was close to 3,000 miles. It was ten times more powerful than his original escape technique!

Fu Yuhua was extremely excited. "Impressive. There are many people in the Mystic Spirit Realm who can use Divine Teleportation Footwork, but the number of people who can travel 1,500 kilometers per step can be counted on one hand."

He bowed deeply to Song Shi. "Thank you, Brother Song. With this Divine Power, my personal strength will at least double. When I fuse this Divine Power with our sect's cultivation technique and pass it down, the entire Dian Cang Sword Sect will be able to improve further."

"There's no need to be polite. I was going to compensate you for the loss I have caused, and you've paid me enough."

Song Shi shook his head. "The rest will depend on Sect Master to comprehend it himself. I have nothing more to teach you."

"Haha, you've given me enough pointers. Let's go. I'll arrange a banquet to welcome Brother Song."

Fu Yuhua was in a good mood. He turned around and walked back. "Brother Song, you should have cultivated the Sword Dao, right? I can feel a strong sword intent and sword qi from you."

"I cultivated a Sword Sage's sword technique in the lower realm." Song Shi nodded.

"Oh, then we're really fated to be able to exchange pointers."

Fu Yuhua felt that Song Shi hit it off even more. He raised his hand and pointed at the sky. The sword light was released, instantly turning the sky green.

This was not a change in color. Song Shi felt that the world was enveloped by a special sword aura. Those who were not strong enough would definitely be melted when they entered.

"This is our sect's Dian Cang Sword Technique. With a tap of your finger, the world will be verdant and the sun and moon will lose their color!"

Seeing Song Shi's expression change, Fu Yuhua said proudly.

Song Shi nodded thoughtfully. "Wood attribute Sword Dao?"

"That's right. Our sect's Sword Dao not only has the sharpness of a sword but also the endless growth of plants. It makes up for the lack of strength in ordinary Sword Dao."

Fu Yuhua looked at Song Shi. "If you want to learn, I can teach you. Do you want a lot of spirit stones in exchange?"

"Do you want to give me fewer spirit stones?" Song Shi teased. "Can't you teach me for free?"

"No, I'm the Sect Master. If I don't teach you through the proper channel, the First Elder and the others will be even noisier."

Fu Yuhua said helplessly, "Furthermore, the Dian Cang Sword Technique that I sent can be considered an Emperor-grade cultivation technique. The complete part is even more precious than your Divine Teleportation Footwork. Even if I teach you, I can only teach you a portion at most."

"Emperor-grade sword technique? How did you all become a second-rate faction?" Song Shi was puzzled.

"Brother, don't expose us."

Fu Yuhua's expression darkened. "Actually, the reason is very simple. The last time the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Mystic Spirit Realm fought, our sect suffered heavy losses and ended up like this. Otherwise, we could be considered a first-rate faction in the Mystic North Continent. We're not inferior to the Ji Family or the Black Tortoise Palace."

"Oh, that's admirable."

Song Shi was serious. Being weak because he was protecting his hometown was more honorable than being strong due to the wrong reasons.

"Thank you, but it's a pity that admiration is useless. It can't be eaten. Ever since our sect suffered a huge blow twenty thousand years ago, our sect has never been able to recover. We went from being a tyrant in the west of the Mystic North Continent to nothing, In the end, we were surpassed by the Star Sword Sect as one of the four rising stars of the Mystic North Continent."

"The Star Sword Sect?"

Song Shi felt that the name of this sect was quite familiar.

"Yes, this old ancestor of the Star Sword Sect is indeed powerful. He took another path and used the power of the stars to cultivate the Sword Dao. Tens of thousands of years ago, he was just an ascender from the lower realm. He rose in the war between the two worlds and obtained the title of Sword Emperor. He was ranked among the powerhouses of the Mystic North Continent and could even be ranked in the top ten of the Immortal Ascension List in the Mystic Spirit Realm. He's indeed a role model for us."

Fu Yuhua looked completely convinced, but it made Song Shi's heart skip a beat.

Could this person be that the Star Sword Sage who came from the lower realm was the same person as the Nameless Sword Sage who left the Star Sword Technique in the Langya Mystic Realm?

He pondered for a moment and said, "Is this the sword technique of their sect?"

Song Shi raised his hand and released his sword Qi. Like stars flickering, it instantly tore through the void.

Fu Yuhua's eyes widened, "How do you know the sword technique of the Star Sword Sect?"

"I didn't expect it to really be him!"

Song Shi sighed. "I didn't expect to meet someone from the lower realm here."

"What? You mean you came from the same lower realm as the Star Sword Sect's ancestor, the Myriad Star Sword Emperor?"

Fu Yuhua was shocked. "Is there something special about your world? Why are the people so abnormal?"

"Huh?"

Song Shi was puzzled. "How is it abnormal? What's wrong with us?"

"No need to talk about you. There's something wrong with your brain. As for the Myriad Star Sword Emperor, he's a masochist. After all, it's very painful to train with the power of the stars."

Fu Yuhua shook his head.

"Uh… The Star Sword Technique focuses on the cultivation of sword intent. Perhaps, under torture, the sword intent will become stronger and stronger."

Song Shi nodded. "I haven't tried it yet. I can give it a try."

"Hmph, cultivating at the cost of damaging your body is incompatible with our sect's philosophy. I don't recommend you to draw the power of the stars to temper your body. It will shorten your lifespan."

Fu Yuhua snorted coldly, "It's better to cultivate the Dian Cang Sword Art of our sect. It has offensive power and can also condense pure Life Origin. Only by living for a long time can I become an immortal."

Hearing that Fu Yuhua seemed to disagree with the concept of the Star Sword Technique, Song Shi smiled and said, "Why don't I cultivate both of them?"

"…"

Fu Yuhua was speechless. "Dream on!"

With that, he quickened his pace and returned.

Song Shi followed leisurely. "Tell me the story of my fellow countryman. Has he ascended yet?"

"How can it be so easy to ascend? However, he does have a higher chance of ascending to the Immortal World. He hasn't shown his face in the past few thousand years. He's probably preparing to ascend."

Fu Yuhua did not comment.

"Then I'll pay him a visit sometime."

Song Shi did not say this for the sake of the upgraded Star Sword Technique. He purely wanted to see his fellow countryman.

After all, up until now, he had only heard about this fellow countryman.

Thinking of this, he said, "After all, you're the sect master of a sect and are well-informed. I wonder if you've heard of Sage King Lang Ya?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuhua staggered and his Divine Teleportation Footwork was interrupted. He turned around and stared at Song Shi. "Don't tell me this person is also from your hometown?"

Song Shi could tell that something was wrong, but he still nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Fu Yuhua looked around carefully. "Then you'd better not ask about this fellow countryman anymore, lest you get yourself into trouble."

"Trouble? I'm most interested. What trouble? Is there a need to make you so nervous?"

Song Shi chuckled.

"You're still laughing? I'm telling you because I think you're a good person. This Sage King Lang Ya is the enemy of the Ji Family. Even the Mystic Spirit Palace placed him on the Heavenly Punishment List. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the common enemy of this world." Fu Yuhua said grumpily.

Song Shi was surprised. He did not expect the clues he had finally found to be like this. He was puzzled. "Why?"

"I'm not sure. In any case, there's definitely a big problem with a guy who can make the Mystic Spirit Palace put up a bounty. It's best if you don't have anything to do with this fellow countryman. Be careful not to be targeted. That would be troublesome."

Fu Yuhua said fearfully, "What I said just now was nonsense. I don't remember you asking me about this."

Seeing Fu Yuhua's inexplicable taboo, Song Shi frowned and said, "Interesting. What did this fellow countryman do to make his fellow humans and the Mystic Spirit Palace bear a grudge?"

"You'll have to ask them about that. That's all I've heard. If not for the fact that our sect has some foundation, we might not have been able to come into contact with such secret matters."

Fu Yuhua shrugged and quickened her pace, unwilling to say anything else.

However, Song Shi vaguely felt that it had something to do with the Void Sutra.

Just as he was about to ask about the relationship between the Void Sutra and the Ji Family, he saw Fu Yuhua suddenly stop. They had already arrived at the entrance of the Dian Cang Sword Sect, but there was a group of unfamiliar cultivators waiting for them aggressively.

The moment he saw this group of cultivators, Song Shi felt a sense of familiarity. Fu Yuhua narrowed his eyes. "The Heaven Punishment Hall and the War Demon Hall have both appeared. You guys are giving Brother Song face."

Song Shi came back to his senses and his face twitched. "Are you kidding me? Are they here to catch me again?"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two Great Saint-level experts appeared behind Song Shi at the same time. One of them was wearing golden armor and had a burly figure. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and held a huge sword in his hand. His aura was stable and his powerful Dharma Power made the void heavy.

The other was completely black and had a slender figure. His eyes were slender and cold. He held a silver pagoda in his hand and circles of lightning flickered between the pagodas.

The two of them floated to the left and right, instantly sealing all of Song Shi's escape routes.

Under the heavy pressure, Song Shi only pursed his lips. "Such a big scene. You think highly of me."
