The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C234

Chapter 234: Sword Ancestor, Snow Qiong Spirit Sword

On the horizon, the emerging sun peeked out. The faint sunlight illuminated a line dividing day and night on the horizon. Beneath the rocky outcrop where Qiongfeng Snow Dragon Cave lay, lava continued to spurt from the cracks, and fiery flames relentlessly engulfed the peak, which remained white throughout the year.

Wearing a cloak provided by Pei Lianxue, Ye Anping soared through the sky with his sword, narrating the mountain’s history to her like a guide—”This place was once a frequently erupting volcano. Thousands of years ago, the Immortal Yunjian transformed into a deity here, channelling spirits into energy. After enduring thunderous trials, the energy of thunder and spirit coincidentally subdued the earthly fire, resulting in this snowy summit. Millennia later, his son Yun Tianchong followed suit. Still, the calamity was insufficient, leading to the thunderous calamity breaking through the earth’s veins, thus transforming the Qiongfeng Snow Top into a lonely and chaotic place.”

“Um…” Pei Lianxue nodded as if grasping the gist, unsure why her senior suddenly decided to share this but resolved to remember his words.

Observing her reaction, Ye Anping felt a twinge of helplessness and queried, “Can you guess where senior brother will take you?”

“Hmm… I don’t know,” She replied.

“Senior brother is going to take you away and sell you,” He teased.

Pei Lianxue fell silent for a moment, then furrowed her brows and retorted, “I don’t believe it.”

“Why don’t you believe it?” Ye Anping inquired.

“Senior brother wouldn’t bear to,” She concluded.

Ye Anping looked pensive, shook his head, and decided to remain silent. With a wry smile, he focused on controlling his sword, soaring towards the clouds in the sky.

Navigating through the clouds, Ye Anping followed his instincts and memories, eventually wrapping himself and his junior sister in a spiritual shield before breaking through the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, the dilapidated mountain peaks and swirling snowflakes vanished, replaced by endless clouds and a cone-shaped rock platform suspended above them.

On the rock platform stood a small octagonal pavilion, beneath which was a stone tablet. Surrounding the pavilion were some bookshelves with wooden slips and scrolls.

The two landed their swords on the ledge and walked to the stone tablet in the pavilion. Ye Anping wiped away the dust on the stone tablet, revealing the words, “Yunjian does not know where to return.” He stepped back and said, “Junior sister, use the sword technique to cut it.”

“Good!!” Pei Lianxue nodded eagerly, summoning her spiritual sword. Ye Anping did the same and stood beside her. Together, they gathered their spiritual energy and struck the stone tablet with eleven sword shadows, but it left no trace on the seemingly ordinary rock.

Pei Lianxue was shocked and, thinking her senior brother hadn’t stopped her, raised her sword again. However, just as she was about to strike, a childish voice came from behind them.

“Did I offend you? Huh! With so much force, do you want to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor?”

Pei Lianxue was startled and turned around and swung her spirit sword, but the young man who appeared behind her effortlessly fixed her sword in mid-air with his left hand.

The blond boy, dressed in a golden and white Daoist robe, was only as tall as their chests but exuded a strong immortal aura.

Ye Anping stepped forward, pulling his junior sister back, and respectfully said, “This junior has seen the Immortal Yunjian.”

Pei Lianxue quickly sheathed her sword and nodded, “I’ve seen it.”

Immortal Yunjian glanced at them, a hint of disappointment in his eyes when he realized they weren’t his descendants.

Tsk, I didn’t expect the first ones to call me were not my descendants but outsiders. That boy Yun Tianchong really disappointed me,” He muttered, turning away to gaze at the endless clouds with a sigh.

“I made a bet with Mrs. Si back then. She bet that my Moon Shadow Sword Sect would inevitably die out in the future. She asked me to pass on the Moon Shadow Sword Technique to her, and she would help me find a successor. I will divide my Moon Shadow Sword Technique into two copies of the Yin Yang Sword Manual and ask her to give it to my descendants… So, she found you two!”

Ye Anping cupped his hands and replied, “The two juniors just happened to obtain the two sword manuals in a cave where you used to go.”

“Oh~” Immortal Yunjian raised his eyebrows. “The past cave!”

“Yes, the cave in Donglin Mountain in the Western Region.”

“Uh–that was probably put there by Mrs. Si, let me tell you… One of you has mediocre qualifications, and this girl has a body of pure water. How can you get into the position of the Si with such an annoying physique?”

Ye Anping flattened his mouth and was speechless.

“Yes…”

“After a long time of work, it turns out that they are two juniors with good luck. Tsk… By the way, what year are we now?”

“Year 2110 in the Immortal Calendar.”

“Oh~ I’m not going to die soon…”

Ye Anping added speechlessly, “Two thousand and twenty-three years.”

“Oh! Yes, yes… It’s been so long.” Immortal Yunjian looked surprised. “Tell me, how is my son?”

“Master Yun Tian…”

“Yun Tian Master, he is still a Celestial Master, a little bastard who is ignorant and has no skills.”

“Senior Yun has now reached the late stage of divine transformation and will prepare to retreat and break the void in a few days.”

“Really or not! He is in the late stage of divine transformation. Do you not believe me?” Immortal Yunjian twisted his eyebrows, waved his hand, and sent Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue to sit down in the pavilion and then conjured tea. He said, “Boy… tell me the truth. I can’t be angry. What kind of cultivation is he?”

“Later stage of divine transformation.”

Snap–

Immortal Yunjian slapped the table hard, “Seriously!”

“It’s really the late stage of divine transformation.”

“…”

Immortal Yunjian pursed his lips and gazed silently at Ye Anping for a moment, then waved his hand with a puzzled expression and remarked,

“The late stage of divine transformation is just that, likely at its peak. I doubt he can surpass it. Achieving godhood is commendable enough, breaking through the void! That’s wishful thinking. And what about my grandchildren?”

Ye Anping, feeling somewhat weary, sighed, “Alright.”

“What do you mean by ‘alright’? You haven’t told me about my grandchildren—names, genders, spiritual roots, cultivation levels. I’d say you’re just ‘alright’.”

Ye Anping fell silent for a while before stating, “Yun Yuecheng, male, with four spiritual roots, tragically fell from a cliff and died at age twelve while practising sword control. Yun Wuyue, a female, was poisoned at three and died young. Yun Siming, a female, with two spiritual roots, perished at twenty-one in the jaws of a level six monster…”

“Stop!”

“What’s wrong? You asked me to tell you.”

“Do I have that many grandchildren?”

“Quite a few. Unlike you, Senior Yun had over thirty wives and concubines, almost each bearing a son.”

Tsk, that rascal…”

Upon hearing this, Master Yunjian gritted his teeth, fully believing Ye Anping’s words. He had long suspected that Yun Tianchong would be in trouble when he grew up.

Furrowing his brows and glancing at Pei Lianxue and Ye Anping, he felt uneasy and asked, “Are there no talented ones left alive?”

“The only one worth mentioning would be Yun Kunwu…”

Seeing Ye Anping’s mournful expression, Immortal Yunjian understood and inquired, “Your tone… Is there more?”

“Yes, but Yun Kunwu’s heart turned dark. He committed a grave mistake and publicly insulted the leaders of the Xuanxing Sect and Tai Bai Sect. In the end, Senior Yun personally destroyed his body, imprisoning his soul deep within the sword tomb.”

“…”

Immortal Yunjian fell silent for a long while after hearing this, then spoke solemnly.

“Boy, let’s be honest. It’s not that I disrespect you and the girl beside you. Even though I’ve said it before, I still want to pass the legacy to my bloodline descendants. I look about your age, so let’s have a heart-to-heart. Tell me, how is the Moon Shadow Sword Sect doing now?”

“Almost on the brink of collapse.”

“Is that so…” Immortal Yunjian shook his head and sighed deeply to the heavens, “What a tragedy! What a tragedy! I, the grand Yunjian Sword Ancestor, have not a single descendant who can uphold the name of Yunjian. And to make matters worse, there’s even one who’s fallen into evil deeds? Mrs. Si was surprisingly accurate in her prediction. She accepted defeat… sigh.”

A slight crease appeared between his youthful brows as he stood up and walked away from the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

“Boy and girl, I’ll entrust the sword embryo to you. Remember to carry on the name of Yunjian Immortal.”

The childish tone gradually faded away as the figure of Immortal Yunjian dissolved into specks of light in the eyes of the two, drifting away. In the next moment, a four-foot-long sword covered in black ice, appeared before the stone monument.

“This sword is named Snow Qiong Spirit Sword…”

And so, the tale continued…
