The Northern Sword God
Abdi Setia the Sword King
The man in the straw coat began to tell his life story. The real name of the straw coat is Qiu Puren.
"S-before dying, I want you to know the story behind the Flying Sword Technique that became this snatch. I am the descendant of a servant in the Sword King Sect, over five hundred years ago.
The Sword King Sect had, at every turn of a new Sect Leader, always received only one disciple. The other candidates that exist, will only be accepted as loyal servants within the sect.
But do not count, and look at it lightly. All the servants within the sect were the best martial artists and swordsmen of their time. All of the inner servants from an early age when joining the sect, also continued to undergo martial arts training.
The sect head had always treated the same for all the followers. Although it was not allowed to practice the Flying Sword Technique, there was a technique whose artistic roots came from the Flying Sword Main Technique.
Only the sect master disciples were entitled to learn the Flying Sword Main Technique. This main disciple was also the one who would later become the Sect Chief of the Sword King"
The straw coat Qiu Puren coughed and tried to calm the tightness in his chest. He then continued...
"Master Yang Zhuang in his time as the Sect Leader of the Sword King back then, was very busy cultivating to achieve immortality.
To the extent that in that time Master Yang rarely ventured like other practitioners, to find a substitute disciple, who would later replace him as Sect Chief"
After returning to a hard cough, interspersed with Sima Yong's persuasion to let the straw coat rest, the,
"My time is not long. If I don't tell you all this, the Sword King Sect will completely disappear from the face of the world. Let me continue this story"
Because the dying man forced himself to continue telling the story, Sima Yong did not stop him anymore.
"That day, according to my parents... Master Yang had managed to master the sword core. His perseverance made him successfully break through the highest cultivation of being an immortal. Of course the Sword King Sect was very joyful.
The Sword King Sect then held a celebration of the joy. And Master Yang had made up his mind to travel to find someone suitable to replace him.
But no one thought at all. The incident happened so quickly since that Master Yang became an Immortal Expert. That night at the joyous celebration, Master Yang disappeared. No one knows where he disappeared to this day"
Sima Yong frowned. Unknowingly he asked a question,
"The Master is unlikely to disappear because it is on the buttocks or kidnapped by other experts. He was an incomparable Immortal Practitioner back then.
Is your sect unable to investigate the situation?"
Sighing deeply, the straw coat continued its history,
"The people of our sect have not not done any research. Many years of investigation of all sect members were conducted, but the results were nil.
Then my ancestor who was also the Private Servant of the Yang-master called him Ancestor Qiu, he came to a conclusion. According to him, Master Yang on the eve of the celebration of our sect, has gone to the region known as the Wonderland Wonderland Wonder Country"
"Magic Negri? How could that Master Yang go to the Magic Country without leaving the slightest message for his followers?" sima Yong asked curiously.
"The theory from Ancestor Qiu said that, the Qi energy that exists in this world, is not a match for someone ranked Immortal. So that when one reached such an Immortal realm, naturally the condition of the body became unable to adapt to all that existed in this mortal world.
According to Ancestor Qiu, it was the Magical Realm itself that came to pick up and take Master Yang, by the time he reached Immortal-cloakness. That is why Master Yang disappeared without saying any message to all his followers in our Sword King Sect.
"Then, the continuation of your Sword King Sect how does it go?" Sima Yong was getting curious.
Qiu Puren's eyes looked somewhat sad.
"Years changed, and there was a split among the followers of the Sword King Sect. Some of the followers were high-headed inner servants and left the sect and established their own sects or clans.
The few remaining vassals were still faithfully waiting in the Sword King Sect, carrying out activities as usual, as if Master Yang was still there.
Then at some point that was five years after the disappearance of Master Yang... The Sword King Sect was attacked by a group of unknown people, who then destroyed everything in the sect. Those unknown people seemed to be looking around for the legacy of the Sword Master Yang King's legacy. It was obvious when they were rummaging through and searching for something in every corner of our sect.
My Qiu Ancestor escaped carrying the Black Immortal Sword as well as a copy of the Flying Sword Technique, in the hope that one day he would find someone who was a match and suitable to be the heir of our Sword King Sect legacy.
But until now, in the time when I continued my parents' task of searching for the heir of the Flying Sword Sect, I myself did not find a suitable person and made a match to become the next Sword King Sect Master.
Those groups of people were people from the Zhao Super Clan, Wux, Zhou, Xu and the Gao Clan"
"Some Servants in the Sect after his death from the Sword King Sect, made a separate Clan that was the forerunner of the Five Super Clans in this Continent.
Apparently they are eyeing the inheritance of Master Yang that is the Black Immortal Sword as well as the Immortal Flying Sword Sect technique of our Sword King.
My own ancestor Ancestor Qiu began his adventure of searching for the right candidate for the successor of the Sword King Sect Chief.
The obligation then passed down through generations to me, wandering around always in the hunt by the people of the five super clans who keep eyeing the heir of our Sect.
Too bad, the search for a suitable heir and will awaken the glory of our Sword King Sect, seems to have stalled until here"
Qiu Puren whimpered in silence. He doesn't continue his story anymore. Sima Yong himself began to understand, why this straw coat clashed with the geniuses of the five super clans, as well as being hunted by some SAGE.
"He was merely an heir of an inner man, a follower of the Sword King Sect. But his ability is so high.
How is Master Yang's ability as this straw coat speaks?" Sima Yong stuck out his tongue, and let out awe
"Sir.." Sima Yong was startled by the soft groan of the straw coat.
That man's face was so pale. It seemed like it was only a matter of waiting, so that the life of the dying man would leave.
"Because you helped me up to this point, then I assume we're fools"
The Straw Coat thrust out a package to Sima Yong,
"In this bundle of cloth is the Black Immortal Sword I used before.
B-Bring this Sword King relic with you. Inside this cloth package, it also tucked away a copy of the Flying Sword Tenik as I told you.
I-I wish you a match, and become the heir to our Sword King Sect" the straw coat man's breath grew even more dull.
"Master.. How could I be the heir to your Sect? While you say that this Flying Sword and Sword Technique cannot be used by just anyone.
And again... Didn't it take the Sword King's relics to practice this technique?" Sima Yong refused subtly, as he felt that Yang Zhuang Sword King's legacy required special conditions that he did not have.
The man in the straw coat, resisted when Sima Yong re-stretched the long cloth package. He said...
"Our meeting is not a coincidence. A-you just need to awaken that Black Immortal Sword spirit. When the sword feels that you are a suitable candidate, the spirit within the Black Immortal Sword will awaken by itself.
The spirit itself will train you how to execute the Flying Sword Arts of our sect. When that spirit has chosen, you will see the awesomeness of the purity of our Sword Arts Sect King of Swords.
What you witnessed when you saw me fighting using the Flying Sword Arts earlier, it was just the skins of this technique. The value of his awesomeness is very far below the original technique"
Later then.. Sima Yong looked at the breath of the straw coat man increasingly hunting. However he saw that Qiu Puren's eye light was shining expectantly towards him.
A drink of tea later, Qiu Puren exhaled his last breath. Sima Yong buried the man in a pine forest, where the ground was still hard and cold because of the snow.
When all was done, Sima Yong made a writing using sword Qi from his finger
"In this place, it had rested quietly the Servant of the Faithful Sect of Sword King Qiu Puren., after his long journey in the mortal world"
