Chapter 70: The Village Chief’s Legendary Gift!
“I’m going! I must go!” Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate even for half a second before nodding resolutely.
Elder Xu was momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t expected such a firm and immediate response from Ye Qiu.
So he emphasized again, “As I just said, the Central Continent is completely cut off from the outside world. There are no resurrection altars there. If you die in the Central Continent, you will truly die!”
Ye Qiu silently rehearsed the lines he had prepared in advance.
Now that the timing felt right, he put on an expression of righteous sacrifice and declared with fervor, “Elder Xu, I know you’re worried about my safety, but… I am not afraid!
“Because I am the man hailed as a ‘hero’ in this Novice Village
“If I could slay the Outer Demon once here, I can do it again in the Central Continent!
“I want to save not only the people of our Novice Village, but also those of the human race living in other regions!
“Our human race may be inherently weak, but the reason we’ve survived until now is thanks to great heroes like the Human Emperor… and like you, Village Chief!
“With such fearless predecessors as my example, how could I cower in fear and cling to life?” S~eaʀᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
This passionate and stirring speech left Elder Xu stunned for a long while.
It had been a long time since he’d heard — or seen — a young man speak with such valor and conviction.
His mind involuntarily drifted to the era of the Human Emperor…
A time when the powerful humans fought against the heavens, against other races, against the demonic monsters of the world — battle after battle, life and death!
All just to win a place for the human race to survive, to have a homeland, free from constant wandering and fear.
Elder Xu’s vision blurred for a moment.
From Ye Qiu… he seemed to glimpse a shadow of the Human Emperor.
Rubbing his eyes gently, he gave a bitter smile. “I’m getting old… so old…”
Then, he extended a hand and took out a circular formation plate, slowly handing it to Ye Qiu.
“This is the teleportation array disc to reach the Central Continent.”
Ye Qiu held back his excitement and carefully accepted it.
Truthfully, he was indeed afraid of death. Who wouldn’t be?
But after everything he’d experienced, including the resurrection altars failing in his past life and countless brushes with death, he had come to terms with it.
Besides, who said the Central Continent really had no means of revival?
There were still many other revival methods in the Trial City — items, skills, inheritances — and Ye Qiu had plans to obtain them all!
He immediately checked the item.
[Trial City Teleportation Disc (Legendary – Damaged)]
[After use, automatically sets up a teleportation array, allowing travel to the altar site in the Central Continent. (Current uses: 1)
“One use is enough!” Ye Qiu took a deep breath.
After all, he had a teleportation skill of his own.
Elder Xu then gave a stern warning, “Child, remember this well. The Central Continent is unlike the outside world. They don’t know about the Outer Humans nor the Outer Demons. They don’t even know there’s an Eastern and Western Continent outside. They live in a realm surrounded by the ancient gods’ power and have their own way of life.
“Never try to break their understanding of the world, and absolutely avoid conflicts with them. Otherwise, it could mean your death!
“Thank you, Village Chief, for your concern. I’ll remember: keep a low profile, act with purpose, slay Outer Demons, and restore peace to humanity!” Ye Qiu stood tall, voice filled with devotion to the human cause.
The more Elder Xu looked at him, the more satisfied he felt.
It was precisely because he cared so much that he had asked again and again, reminding Ye Qiu not to act carelessly or make the wrong choices.
After a moment of thought, Elder Xu suddenly raised his hand and pressed it to Ye Qiu’s forehead.
“I’m old now, and I don’t have anything else to give. So I’ll give you a strand of mysterious sword intent I obtained thousands of years ago. I hope you can comprehend your own sword technique from it.”
A system notification immediately chimed.
[Ding! You have received a gift from the Village Chief Elder Xu: A strand of Mysterious Sword Intent.]
“Huh?” Ye Qiu blinked.
An unexpected bonus?!
He quickly checked the details.
[Strand of Mysterious Sword Intent (Legendary)]:
[Viewing this daily grants 1000 exclusive skill points in Sword Techniques.]
“Holy crap!” Ye Qiu was overjoyed.
This is amazing!
It’s essentially a daily free bonus of 1000 sword skill points!
Although it could only be applied to sword skills, it was already far more valuable than most other legendary equipment.
Even more precious than legendary elixirs that permanently increase attributes!
Why?
Because artistic intent was rare beyond imagination. Even ancient gods rarely left it behind!
And “Sword Intent” within that realm… was the rarest of all!
Ye Qiu couldn’t wait.
He already wanted to start meditating and comprehending it.
If he could master something like the Thirteen Styles of Slashing, he’d hit the jackpot!
