Huang Wenlin shook his head. "He just said that you're naturally rebellious."
"Naturally rebellious... Well, he's right. I am indeed rebellious." Huang Zhiwen's eyes were lost in memories. "I started learning the sword at the age of five and never relaxed for a single day. Everyone called me a genius, and I thought my whole life would be like that."
"But when I was twenty-five, I went out for training with the family. I accidentally saved an alchemy cultivator, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. That time, my father wasn't by my side, which was rare. You know, he never allowed me to touch anything other than the way of the sword."
"On that night, I sat by the campfire with that alchemy cultivator. He talked about the Dao of Alchemy with me all night... I had never seen anyone with such eyes before. When he talked about the Dao of Alchemy, his eyes were shining. After that night, he gave me a copy of 'A Hundred Explanations of the True Alchemy' and then left."
"I can never forget his eyes. It was from that day that I became interested in learning the Dao of Alchemy. I started to privately buy alchemy furnaces and learn alchemy... It was a completely different world from the way of the sword. I was addicted to it and for the first time experienced the feelings of that alchemy cultivator. I gradually understood that what I truly loved wasn't the way of the sword. Talent was just a curse to me."
Huang Wenlin's eyes gradually dimmed. Cultivators cultivate their true selves and release their nature. Most cultivators, once they find what they truly love, will be like moths to a flame, throwing themselves into it without hesitation. Even if it goes against their talent, they will still do it without turning back. This was exactly why the family didn't want Huang Zhiwen to come into contact with other fields.
"When the family found out about this, they smashed my alchemy furnace and destroyed that copy of 'A Hundred Explanations of the True Alchemy'... Later, I learned that they even sent people to kill that Nascent Soul cultivator."
There was a trace of sadness in Huang Zhiwen's voice. "After learning about the death of that alchemy cultivator, the sword completely became a demon in my heart. The family should never have killed him, which made me hold a grudge."
"After hearing the news of his death, I had already decided to give up being a sword cultivator. So not long after I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, I planned to escape from the family. You know what happened later. After the family gave up on me, I dispersed all my cultivation power, just to return to the Dao of Alchemy."
"Just for an outsider, a person who has nothing to do with you, you want to betray the whole family and give up a great future... You're being foolish!!" Huang Wenlin said unwillingly.
At this moment, Huang Zhiwen's heart was as calm as still water. He looked up with a sigh. "No, he wasn't an irrelevant person. He was a true cultivator."
"He found his true self, and he helped me find my true self. When I'm immersed in the Dao of Alchemy, I'm the freest person in the world. Strength and talent are no longer important. Even if I die, I have no regrets."
"The family hasn't let me down. It's just that I want to be myself. I'm a free person, a cultivator... and nothing can bind my heart anymore."
Huang Zhiwen spoke slowly, each word pronounced deliberately. But every word was like a heavy hammer, striking at Huang Wenlin's mind. He gradually became disappointed and finally completely despaired. That swordsmanship genius who had drawn the attention of the entire Tianxin Domain and was regarded as the new hope of the family was already dead. All that was left was an ordinary alchemy cultivator with average talent.
Huang Wenlin was silent for a long time. "I'll ask you one last time. Are you really not going back?"
"I'm not going back."
"Give the sword back."
Huang Zhiwen summoned the Dragon Scale Wind-Slicing Sword and casually threw it to Huang Wenlin. Seeing him giving up the sword without a care, Huang Wenlin felt a pang in his heart.
"I'll tell the head of the family exactly what you said. In the future.... Take care of yourself."
After leaving these words, Huang Wenlin flew straight towards Xu Shan.
Xu Shan was still waiting there. Seeing Huang Wenlin coming, he quickly put on a flattering smile. "Senior, have you two finished talking?"
"Don't try to get friendly with me!!" Huang Wenlin conjured up a dark blue jade slip in his hand and said angrily, "Where are you going to establish the sect, and what's the name of the sect? Don't waste my time."
Oh no, were these relatives having a conflict? Xu Shan was taken aback. He pointed in the direction of Li Family Village and said, "It's over there, Li Family Village. The name of the sect is the 'I Am the Supreme in the Eight Wildernesses and Six Harmonies Sect'."
Li Family Village... The 'I Am the Supreme in the Eight Wildernesses and Six Harmonies Sect'... Huang Wenlin's forehead veins bulged. "Kid! Are you playing tricks on me?"
"I'm not playing tricks on you... These are the conditions. If you think there's something wrong, I can change it...." Xu Shan said nervously.
It was indeed too absurd. But since he was establishing a sect, he should give it an awesome name. Otherwise, how could he convince others to join with his current strength?
Huang Zhiwen flew over and said, "Second Uncle, there doesn't seem to be any restrictions from the Taigu Pavilion on the location and name of the sect, right?"
"There's naturally no restriction on the location, but there's a big problem with this name!" Huang Wenlin stared at Xu Shan menacingly. "With such a name, do you want to deceive disciples in the future? If you damage the reputation of the Taigu Pavilion, do you think the Taigu Pavilion is just for show?"
It seemed that he had been seen through. It seemed that he wasn't the first person in the cultivation world to do such a thing. Xu Shan gave an embarrassed smile. "Then I'll change it. Let's call it the Xuantian Sect."
"That name already exists."
"What about the Feixing Sect?"
"That one exists too."
"The Wuji Sect."
"That one also exists."
...
After coming up with four or five names in a row, Xu Shan was so angry that he scratched his head. Damn it, this was even more difficult than naming a character in an online game? The repetition rate was so high?
"Senior, you're not playing tricks on me, are you?"
Huang Wenlin looked at him coldly. "Do you think I have nothing better to do than play tricks on a junior like you? There are as many sects in the world as crucian carp crossing a river. If you want to establish a sect with the Immortal Controlling Order, how can you use the same name as an ordinary small sect?"
"Fine, I'll call it the Li Family Village Professional Cultivation Academy. There can't be another sect with this name, right?" The naming-challenged Xu Shan was getting angry.
"Okay." The blue light on the jade slip in Huang Wenlin's hand flashed. "It's recorded."
Xu Shan: " ..."
Huang Wenlin sneered. "Kid, I don't care for what reason you used the Immortal Controlling Order. With your conditions, you're simply bringing shame to the members of the Taigu Pavilion. No one will want you to survive."
"According to the rules, the Immortal Controlling Order can ensure the safety of the new sect for fifty years. But if you leave your own territory, no one will care if you live or die. You'd better stay near Li Family Village and enjoy these fifty years in peace."
"I've said all I have to say!"
After saying this, Huang Wenlin was about to fly away. Huang Zhiwen stopped him and said, "Second Uncle, is it interesting for you to make things difficult for a junior like this?"
Huang Wenlin stopped and said, "Am I making things difficult for him? Don't forget, there are still two Immortal Controlling Orders. If the remaining two are used like this, the Taigu Pavilion will completely become a laughingstock. We must kill him to deter others. The reputation of the Taigu Pavilion has already been damaged. Who will bear the cost if this happens two more times?"
"I don't have time to纠缠 with you. I need to go back and report as soon as possible. Farewell!"
After he finished speaking, Huang Zhiwen turned around. He gave Xu Shan a meaningful look and then couldn't help but laugh.
The matter had been successfully settled... although it was a bit unexpected. Anyway, from this moment on, Xu Shan was no longer an unknown person. Instead, he officially appeared on the table of the top forces in the cultivation world as the sect master at the Foundation Establishment stage!
The Taigu Pavilion, the united organization that maintained the order of the seven domains in the northern region of the cultivation world. After the twenty-seventh force member, it welcomed the twenty-eighth sect! The Li Family Village Professional Cultivation Academy!
