Supreme Devouring God

"You’ve arrived?"

Qin Chen had just stepped into the Bamboo Garden.

He heard Dream Saber Lord’s slightly lazy voice.

Oddly, although Dream Saber Lord was speaking aloud, Qin Chen could still hear his voice clearly.

"Disciple Qin Chen, I greet you, Master."

Qin Chen saluted Dream Saber Lord, who was sitting on a green stone in the Bamboo Garden.

Even now, his master remained a mysterious existence in Qin Chen’s eyes.

Now, seeing Dream Saber Lord meditating on the green stone.

Qin Chen was afraid Dream Saber Lord would fall asleep again.

The last time Qin Chen met Dream Saber Lord, it was just like this.

After barely exchanging a few words, Dream Saber Lord fell directly asleep, right where he stood.

Dream Saber Lord opened his eyes; though ordinary, the moment his eyes opened, Qin Chen felt a tremor in his heart.

It gave Qin Chen the illusion.

As if before him wasn’t a pair of eyes, but two blades.

Dream Saber Lord gazed at Qin Chen, a warm smile spreading across his handsome features: "Do you know why I accepted you as my second disciple?"

Qin Chen speculated: "Is it because I’m the Nine Rings Genius?"

Dream Saber Lord chuckled: "Though the Nine Rings Genius is indeed remarkable, it wasn’t sufficient to draw my attention."

Qin Chen was quite surprised: "Then why is it?"

He always thought Dream Saber Lord valued him for his talent.

Moreover, not just him; everyone thought the same.

Dream Saber Lord said: "In truth, during the Cliff Entrance Battle, I witnessed your performance entirely; what I value is your heart, a righteous heart, more important than anything."

"In this respect, Extreme Origin’s attitude is the same as mine."

Extreme Origin?

Qin Chen was astonished.

On the entire Saber Saint Cliff, whoever saw the Extreme Origin Dao Master had to address him as Cliff Master or Daoist Lord?

Yet Dream Saber Lord casually called his name.

"I’ve also heard about the matter with the Jingyue Dynasty; you’ve done well, managing to preserve your life against one of the Blood Spirit Demon Clan’s branch demon clans, which proves you possess Great Luck."

"Such an extraordinary being, recognizing me as your master, is my fortune."

Dream Saber Lord smiled warmly at Qin Chen.

Qin Chen replied: "Master overstresses, although I possess some talents, isn’t Master renowned throughout the Primordial World?"

"Oh?"

Dream Saber Lord raised an eyebrow.

He noted Qin Chen referred to the Primordial World, not just Qian State.

However, he didn’t ask further.

"Are your ears entirely unable to hear?" Dream Saber Lord asked.

Qin Chen nodded.

Dream Saber Lord said: "On the lands of Qian State, many legendary warriors have emerged throughout history."

"Though many have fallen, their myths still endure."

"These legendary warriors all possess their own path; a true warrior must carve out their own road."

"Among them is a legendary figure named ’Wind Sound Ancestor God.’

"If you’re aware of the ’Wind Sound Ancient Clan,’ you should know Wind Sound Ancestor God is their founder."

Qin Chen raised an eyebrow: "The Wind Sound Ancient Clan, one of the Ten Clans of Qian State?"

In Qian State, aside from top forces like Saber Saint Cliff and Dao Village, there are many major clans with their own inheritances.

Wind Sound Ancient Clan is one such clan.

Qin Chen had heard of them but didn’t know much.

Dream Saber Lord nodded: "Indeed, how much do you know about Wind Sound Ancestor God?"

Qin Chen shook his head: "Virtually none."

Dream Saber Lord said: "Wind Sound Ancestor God was peculiar from youth, possessing a pair of ’Wind Sound Divine Ears,’ able to hear for a hundred miles, hence why he’s called Wind Sound Ancestor God."

"Subsequently, Wind Sound Ancient Clan was founded under his name."

Qin Chen asked: "Is Master suggesting if I obtain those Wind Sound Divine Ears, I might restore my hearing?"

Dream Saber Lord said: "That’s about the gist of it, but to acquire Wind Sound Ancestor God’s Wind Sound Divine Ears, it requires Great Luck."

"Wind Sound Valley, the place where Wind Sound Ancestor God fell, is within the Wind Sound Ancient Clan."

"However, over the years, countless Wind Sound Ancient Clan members tried but couldn’t acquire Wind Sound Ancestor God’s Wind Sound Divine Ears, and many have perished in Wind Sound Valley."

"To this day, the mystery of Wind Sound Valley remains unsolved."

"No one knows what Wind Sound Ancestor God left behind in Wind Sound Valley, simply that it’s not a place of fortune."

"Though known as the place where Wind Sound Ancestor God fell, gradually, Wind Sound Valley became viewed as a forbidden zone, even shunned by the Wind Sound Ancient Clan members."

Qin Chen remarked: "So, presently, Wind Sound Valley is more like a restricted zone?"

Dream Saber Lord nodded: "One could say that, and Wind Sound Ancestor God’s fall happened three thousand years ago. The legends have their share of falsity."

"So I must remind you, while adventuring, it’s not about testing fate blindly. Losing hearing isn’t terrifying; losing life is."

Qin Chen nodded: "Disciple understands in my heart."

Before coming to see Dream Saber Lord, he felt hopeless.

Now, knowing there’s a possibility to restore his hearing, even if uncertain, Qin Chen would try.

After all, Dream Saber Lord would not harm him.

Dream Saber Lord said: "You possess Great Luck, perhaps that legendary Wind Sound Divine Ear, even Wind Sound Ancestor God’s inheritance, you could obtain."

"Therefore, no one can assist you."

"Fortune and fate are beyond understanding; if it’s yours, it shall be yours. If not, no one can help you."

Qin Chen laughed: "Disciple’s luck has always been good."

Dream Saber Lord laughed as well: "Would you like to learn the Great Dream Saber Technique?"

Qin Chen’s eyes sharpened: "Disciple would naturally like to."

The renown of the Great Dream Saber Technique, Qin Chen had heard from Ye Wutian many times.

Moreover, when Ye Wutian broke into the First Palace to confront Yuan Sha, he employed the Great Dream Saber Technique, leaving Qin Chen in awe.

Dream Saber Lord said: "Since that’s the case, before you head to Wind Sound Valley, I’ll teach you the First Move of the Great Dream Saber Technique, hoping it provides you aid."

[ps: Merry Christmas, everyone]
