With his ‘master’ Nineorigin beside him on his flying sword, they flew to the location of the Outsider. However, the sight that greeted their eyes was nothing like they expected.

It was a silver haired girl. She was a teen, on the cusp of blossoming into maturity. As expected, she was also a peerless beauty with otherworldly temperament. Even her screaming voice sounded heavenly.

“Aaah…aaa…hhaaa…aaa…” The girl screamed in a strange, distorted voice that cut off for moments before returning. The figure of her was disappearing and reappearing like distorted static. It was like the world was rejecting her existence.

“What the hell… This isn’t an outsider, but an existence that shouldn’t exist! Due to going against the Heavenly Dao, it is being forcibly eliminated by the World!” Nineorigin’s shock could be sensed from her tone.

“That’s… Supreme Sword Body, Supreme Sword Soul and Supreme Sword Qi?! None of them are something that should even exist in this era! How are all three of them present in one body?” Heifeng Jiansui spent his past life reading through countless archives and legacies, this was the only reason he knew such an obsolete piece of information. These three were similar to ‘innate bloodlines’, sporadically appearing in the 1st and 7th eras. They were anomalies that didn’t even appear once an era! For all of them to appear at once…

“Nineorigin, immediately stop the Heavenly Dao’s rejection phenomenon!” As a sword cultivator, this girl was a pie from the sky! How could he let her go?

“It is impossible! I can normally control the Heavenly Dao, but it isn’t obeying me at all! It is determined to reject her from the world!” Nineorigin’s voice was helpless.

“…Fuck.” Heifeng Jiansui went through archives of information in his head in moments, trying to find out a way to save her. Finally a way presented itself.

Immediately drawing out his zither, he began banging out a tune. It was strangely simple but majestic, something that was indiscernible by hearing yet capable of communicating the myriad mysteries!

It wasn’t a song but the Sound of the Heavenly Dao! It was tricking the Heavens, it was reversing Heavenly Fate!

After becoming Nineorigin’s disciple, Heifeng Jiansui gained limited power over karma, the ability to calculate the fate of nearly all lives within this world. This was a result of having a portion of the Heavenly Dao bound to him by his solidification of karma! And Heifeng Jiansui used this portion to replicate the sound of Heavenly Dao and distract it from executing retribution on this girl!

Slowly but surely, the distortions trying to expel her lessened. However with every pluck of the string, Heifeng Jiansui’s face turned whiter, his vitality lessening. His essence, spirit and energy all dissipated as he imitated the Heavenly Law. His hair began turning white and his body began rapidly shrinking, emitting black sweat.

Finally when the distortions disappeared entirely, Heifeng Jiansui seemed to have aged decades as a youth, his body unnaturally turning wrinkly and powerless due to loss of vitality. Only his bloodline of a Phoenix kept him from dying outright due to lost vital spirit!

“Nineorigin, immediately work your magic! I have distracted the Heavenly Dao for a bit, but it will return to fuck her up quickly!” Heifeng Jiansui had no idea how Nineorigin could save the girl from the Heavenly Dao’s retribution, only that she could do it.

And Nineorigin didn’t disappoint. Heaven and earth trembled as countless seals flashed on her flexible fingers, creating various seals and applying them on the girl.

As if it never took place, the retribution of the Heavenly Dao disappeared. The distortions torturing the girl disappeared as well. The girl promptly fell asleep from exhaustion, her soft silver hair flowing in the wind.

“The Heavenly retribution was a result of her existence being unrecorded in the Heavenly Dao. I rectified that by adding her. She is now a natural denizen of the Nineorigin Chaosworld!” Hearing Nineorigin’s words, Heifeng Jiansui couldn’t help but beam.

“I… have to thank you for this.” Heifeng Jiansui’s croaking voice emitting from his sunken face seemed to blame Nineorigin for her inability to control the Heavenly Dao’s retribution.

“I…” She couldn’t help but let guilt fill her voice, but Heifeng Jiansui’s words ignored her.

“Supreme Sword Body, Supreme Sword Soul and Supreme Sword Qi, all in one body! One of them usually occurs once in an era and their possessor is fated to be unparalleled in that time! Back then, the Clear Jade Daoist possessed the Supreme Sword Qi and defied Heavenly Dao to cultivate the Sword Body and Sword Qi!” Nineorigin couldn’t help but forget about her guilt on hearing Heifeng Jiansui’s fervored voice.

“Due to some mysterious reason, this girl appeared after we opened the seals barring the Clear Jade Sword from the world! After her body was formed, the Heavenly Dao identified her as an anomaly and attempted to reject her from the world. However, we are in the core of this Ninelight Stellar Circuit and in this space, my Quintessence Sword Dao and the Clear Jade Sword Dao, two Supreme Laws capable of rebelling against the Heavens protected her! After we noticed her existence, I could only distract the Heavenly Dao by using the limited power over karma that I attained by becoming your disciple! After that, you recorded her into the Heavenly Dao to save her!” Heifeng Jiansui’s voice filled with awe of her couldn’t help but make Nineorigin’s heart beat with pride.

“From the beginning, her existence itself defies all probability and calculations! After that, the fact that we managed to preserve her existence will tear the existence of Fate and Destiny apart! The good fortune we both obtained after solidifying our karma must be completely exhausted for this lucky chance… cough, cough…” Heifeng Jiansui’s rant finally ended when his sickly voice couldn’t keep up.

Hearing this, Nineorigin realized that Heifeng Jiansui had lost his vitality while tricking the Heavenly Dao. “Well, you have been praising me a lot even though it is completely justified! I am quite awesome after all! Let me heal you up now, so that you can praise me more!”

With a flick of a finger, a green light entered his body, revitalizing his energy, body and spirit, returning him from his corpselike state to the pink of health!

“No matter what, your ability to regenerate my lost vitality always astounds me.” Heifeng Jiansui couldn’t help his praise.

“Hey, while saving that girl from being exterminated by the Heavenly Dao was hard, revitalizing you is quite simple! Even a peak Life Desolation cultivator could do it in a blink!” Hearing Nineorigin’s teasing words, Heifeng Jiansui remembered that he was yet a mortal.

No matter how heaven-defying he was, his body was still mortal, untempered and without profoundness, and thus easy to reconstruct. Nineorigin’s ease of reconstructing it would fade after he cultivated it to a higher boundary!

“Anyway, you seem quite enamored with the girl… Just how interested are you in her innate gifts? You haven’t even said a single thought about her descendence. From where could she originate from?” Nineorigin’s question was thought over by Heifeng Jiansui.

“She could perhaps be a fragment of the Clear Jade Sword’s Sword Spirit. Maybe she was a soul unwittingly sealed in that Sword Spirit during one of the Clear Jade Daoist’s massacres. Maybe she was simply as unlucky remnant soul which was ignored by the Six Paths of Samsara and entered the sword on the path of reincarnation… That said, it doesn’t really matter.” Heifeng Jiansui recited a few possibilities of her descent like an afterthought.

“Well then, what does matter?” Nineorigin asked Heifeng Jiansui with curiosity.

“Hehe… Supreme Sword Body, Soul and Qi… and still a mortal body. Also, her memories must be fractured as well. In this state, she… should have only her sword skills to depend on! And who other than the great Sect Master of the Quintessence Sword Sect can guide her on the path to the apex? She exceeds all my expectations in all aspects, so if I can convince her to become my disciple, my Quintessence Sword Sect would have a leader to take it to the apex in this new era! Only…” Heifeng Jiansui’s voice turned down a bit.

“Only what?” Nineorigin thought of why Heifeng Jiansui’s voice lowered. What inadequacy could be in this seemingly perfect disciple?

“…I actually hoped for a male successor.” Heifeng Jiansui couldn’t help but remember his only remaining disciple, Shui Yan. Now that this superb pie from the sky had fallen, his dear disciple had to be content with the position of Vice Sect Master…
