Chapter 2925: Inheritance of Dharmic Dao
Translator: Legge
What was the status of this Iron Crown Old Man before them?
So be it that he invited a Perfected Immortal whose cultivation was crippled to join the Sword World and promised to impart the Dharmic Dao personally.
Now that he even sang such high praises, who wouldn’t be shocked?
The Iron Crown Old Man did not hide his admiration for Yang Ruoxu.
For a moment, Yang Ruoxu felt flattered as well.
However, before long, he calmed down and looked at the surrounding ruins in silence.
A moment later, Yang Ruoxu looked at the Iron Crown Old Man and bowed slightly, shaking his head apologetically and guiltily.
The Iron Crown Old Man was not surprised by Yang Ruoxu’s reaction.
However, he still felt a sense of regret.
He could sense an impressive personality from Yang Ruoxu; in fact, it was one that even he would admire!
Even against his master, against power far stronger than him, against the curses and accusations of countless cultivators and the pressure that surged from all directions, he still chose to hold on to the truth, uphold justice and refused to submit.
The price was naturally tragic.
Even so, Yang Ruoxu did not retreat or waver.
In this generation, there were too many people in the cultivation world who submitted for the sake of survival, for the sake of living and longevity.
In fact, people like Yang Ruoxu would even be mocked and ridiculed. Many cultivators who thought that they were smart would think that he was a fool and inflexible.
However, the Iron Crown Old Man knew that throughout history, it was precisely because these not-so-smart people stuck to justice, pursued the truth and resisted injustice that they brought a glimmer of warmth to the cruel and dark cultivation world.
Even the Iron Crown Old Man was not sure if he would be as fearless and brave as Yang Ruoxu when faced with such an overwhelming power.
However, he knew that he could only be considered as an immortal.
Yang Ruoxu was the only one worthy of being called a hero among immortals!
“Senior, if Ruoxu’s Dao Fruit is crippled, will he still have a chance to cultivate?”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow was filled with worry but she looked at the Iron Crown Old Man with a hint of hope.
“Of course there is.”
The Iron Crown Old Man nodded with a certain tone.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s worry turned into joy as she looked at Yang Ruoxu hurriedly and persuaded softly, “Ruoxu, why don’t you become the disciple of this senior? This is your opportunity.”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow did not have any other thoughts. She only wanted Yang Ruoxu to survive and become better.
Yang Ruoxu was silent.
The Iron Crown Old Man smiled gently. “There’s no need to make things difficult for him. Even if he doesn’t become my disciple, I’ll impart this Dharmic Dao to him.”
“Wha—”
Yang Ruoxu’s expression turned solemn as he bowed hurriedly. “Senior, you’re so kind. It’s just that I don’t deserve it…”
He was already extremely grateful that the Iron Crown Old Man saved him.
Furthermore, the Iron Crown Old Man was so sincere and wanted to take him in as a disciple. He felt extremely guilty for rejecting him. At that moment, how could he have the cheek to accept the Dharmic Dao inheritance of the Iron Crown Old Man?
“You don’t have to feel burdened.”
The Iron Crown Old Man waved it off. “This Dharmic formulation is not something in the Sword World that can’t be imparted to outsiders. The person who created this Dharmic formulation is magnanimous and preaches to all living beings in the world. He made this Dharmic formulation completely public so that all living beings in the world can cultivate it.”
“Huh?”
Mo Qing, Yang Ruoxu and the others were stunned.
Was there such a person in the world?
Most cultivators and sects would choose to keep slightly more precious divine powers and secret skills secret, let alone Dharmic formulations.
Even if it was the most ordinary method, ordinary people would treasure it.
When Princess Scarlet Rainbow heard that, she consoled Yang Ruoxu, “That’s good. This Dharmic formulation should be relatively ordinary and not some powerful or precious method. You shouldn’t have to feel any burden cultivating it.”
“That’s not true.”
The Iron Crown Old Man shook his head. “This Dharmic formulation is comparable to the Dharmic formulations of the Immortal, Buddhist and Fiend Daos that have been passed down for many years. It will definitely be recorded in history and bless all the living beings in the world!”
“Ah!”
That time round, Mo Qing, Yang Ruoxu and the others were truly stunned.
The Iron Crown Old Man was an Emperor expert after all and would definitely not spout nonsense.
However, everyone did not understand.
Since it was such a powerful Dharmic formulation, why was it completely publicized and why would Yang Ruoxu not have to feel burdened?
The Iron Crown Old Man smiled. “That’s because the cultivator who created this Dharmic formulation is an old friend of yours. If he knew that you had encountered this calamity, he would definitely impart this Dharmic formulation to you as well.”
Yang Ruoxu had a puzzled expression.
An old friend of his?
There was such a cultivator among his old friends?
This person could create a Dharmic formulation that was comparable to the Immortal, Buddhist and Fiend Daos and can be passed down through the ages?
Yang Ruoxu had never expected that he would know and befriend such a big shot.
“What’s the name of this old friend?”
Yang Ruoxu asked curiously.
The Iron Crown Old Man did not say it explicitly and merely smiled gently.
“You guys will definitely meet again one day.”
Yang Ruoxu frowned and was even more puzzled.
However, on second thought, he could not help but come to a realization and look at the Iron Crown Old Man gratefully.
“This senior is truly kind-hearted. He must be afraid that I’ll be under too much pressure, so he deliberately used this saying to comfort me. Sigh.” Actually, the old friend that the Iron Crown Old Man was referring to was Su Zimo.
However, Su Zimo’s identity had yet to be revealed and it was inconvenient for the Iron Crown Old Man to make the decision for Su Zimo and tell Yang Ruoxu and the others about this.
Su Zimo presided over Sword Burial Peak. Apart from the Sword Burial Dao, the Dharmic formulation of the Martial Dao had long been made public as well.
Naturally, the Iron Crown Old Man knew that.
However, most cultivators of the Sword World had already cultivated other Dharmic formulations and could not change their cultivation method to cultivate the Martial Dao.
Only, Yang Ruoxu’s situation was rather special.
His Dao Fruit was already crippled!
No matter how much he wanted to cultivate the Dharmic Daos of the Immortal, Buddhist and Fiends, it was difficult for him to condense another Dao Fruit in his consciousness.
However, he could cultivate the Martial Dao and forge the True Martial Dao Body!
A faint light was released from the glabella of the Iron Crown Old Man and entered Yang Ruoxu’s consciousness.
Immediately after, two inheritances appeared in Yang Ruoxu’s mind.
One of them was a Dharmic formulation.
“Martial Dao…”
Yang Ruoxu murmured softly.
The Iron Crown Old Man said, “Actually, you have the spirit of the Martial Dao in you. You advance bravely and fearlessly. Furthermore, although your Dao Fruit is shattered, the righteousness aura in your chest is still there!”
In reality, that was indeed the case. After experiencing this ordeal, Yang Ruoxu’s Dao Fruit shattered and his cultivation was crippled. However, the righteousness aura in his body became increasingly condensed and majestic!
It was also because of the righteousness aura that Yang Ruoxu’s lifeforce was hanging on. Otherwise, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
The Iron Crown Old Man continued, “With the help of this righteousness aura, your foundation is still intact. Even if you cultivate again, you’ll advance by leaps and bounds!”
The righteousness aura was the key to the Righteousness Sutra.
If Yang Ruoxu had lowered his head and cowered on the Enforcement
Platform, even if he could protect his Dao Fruit, the righteousness aura in his chest would have dissipated.
That would have been the true crippling of his cultivation.
The Iron Crown Old Man continued, “Apart from the Martial Dao, there’s another inheritance, the Righteousness Sword Dao.”
“This Sword Dao was taken from the Zenith Heaven Sword Classic. You’re the only one worthy of cultivating this Sword Dao.. I hope that this Sword Dao can bloom with its deserved brilliance in your hands and illuminate the heavens!”
