Chapter 1234 - The Yuanfu Catalog



Chapter 1234: The Yuanfu Catalog

“Little brother, I am not sure if you will be able to help give a referral to this senior of yours.” The Shenwu Sect Elder smiled at Yu Mo.

The elder’s smile was like a blooming flower. It was obvious that he was trying to garner favor.

The Shenwu Sect Elder’s behavior made many of the martialists present look at Yu Mo. This senior from the Songyang Sword Sect did not seem to want to meet them.

Under the circumstances, they would perhaps have to take an alternative path through Yu Mo to try to build relations with the senior from the Songshan Sword Sect.

Yu Mo, who was at a tender age, instantly became a popular target of theirs.

Even though he was not dumb, the current situation had exceeded his expectations. The dazzling blade rays of the nine skies reminded him of the times when the ancestral master had imparted skills to him in his slumber.

These sword-lights seemed stronger and sharper than when his ancestral master had imparted them.

He couldn’t be dreaming, could he? The Songyang Sword Sect really was under the protection of his ancestral master!

“Wha... What did you say?” Yu Mo hesitantly replied only after the Shenwu Sect Elder repeated his question.

“Ha ha ha!” The Shenwu Sect Elder smirked deep down as he detected the terror in Yu Mo’s expression.

“My precious junior, I am not sure if you will be able to help a little with this.” He smiled and tried even harder to persuade Yu Mo.

“Some seniors from the Shenwu Sect will wish to pay him a visit!”

“Ancestral mast... master, I have only seen him once in my dreams. I really do not know how to put you in touch,” Yu Mo replied with a slight tremble.

Even though he kept reminding himself that the ancestral master had finally appeared and he no longer needed to fear the members of the Shenwu Sect, he just could not help but feel rising fear in his heart.

The Shenwu Sect Elder could sense the rising level of fear within Yu Mo. Despite how much he now wanted to change this mindset of his, he knew it was not going to be an easy task.

“Little brother, you must have been favored by your sect’s founding master since he imparted this skill to you in your dreams,” he said after a brief pause.

“Upon your founding master’s return, many matters will definitely have to be handled within your sect. Given the reduced number of members in your sect, you might not be able to handle this.”

“While the Shenwu Sect might not be a major power, we can still help provide some servants who can lighten your burden. We hope that you will kindly accept our offer.”

The Sacred Ice Palace’s Shengzi resented the Shenwu Sect Elder for coming up with such a shameless move. However, he also chimed in. “Sacred Ice Palace has more than enough servants so we will also contribute to help you out. The servants of our sect will be at your whim and fancy, and you may deal with them as you wish.

“Even though your sect has a sacred mountain as its base, it should also have subordinate cities for tributes. Although Sacred Ice Palace does not have a large territory, we are willing to offer up to ten large cities for this purpose.”

In the Sacred East Sky Continent, the smallest city had a population of about 100,000 people. By adding the population of the city and the territory of the subordinate, the population should total up to about a million people.

Every subordinate city was the foundation of a sect. That was why sects mostly had subordinate cities offering them tributes.

The martialists of the Tianhedan Sect and other sects had already explained the current situation to their respective elders. “Our sect is willing to offer about three cities!” some of them said as they vied for the chance to come forward to speak.

“Our sect is willing to offer two mountains!”

The Shenwu Sect Elder offered the biggest number of cities. In a single bid, he offered twenty of the largest cities to the Songyang Sword Sect.

Even a subordinate sect like Longyue Manor was offered up by the Shenwu Sect Elder. The martialists of Longyue Manor didn’t even know anything about the current situation.

Since when had Yu Mo been so highly sought after? He was not sure what to do after hearing the offers made by these previously insufferable chaps.

Longfei and the rest of the people sent over by the Shenwu Sect Elder were watching with envy. How they wished they had never left and had stayed with the Songyang Sword Sect all this time.

There were massive resources available for those who had stayed, including the valiant founding master who had just saved everyone, and gifts were bestowed by the other sects.

If only they had access to these resources, then their cultivation bases would definitely take a big leap forward.

They too had thoughts about stepping forward and proclaiming to return to the Songyang Sword Sect. However, the thought of that powerful sword-light made their hearts tighten with terror.

They could not bear the brunt of their ancestral master’s anger!

“The sage has cleared his cultivation grounds. What are the rest of you making a din about? Scram!” A voice rang out clearly as Yu Mo didn’t know what to do.

These words chided everyone present!

Even though the Shenwu Sect Elder did not dare cause trouble there, he did want to have a look at the person who was rebuking them.

Upon looking up, they were all stunned to see a small bird the size of a palm among five colored clouds containing five different laws that surrounded its body.

The power and might exuded by this tiny bird was close to the level of a Taichu Yuan Venerate. They instantly could tell the origin of this bird.

This tiny bird was the phoenix that had come earlier!

“Farewell!” the Shenwu Sect Elder said as he left Yu Mo unwillingly, knowing that things were going to get ugly if he tried to force his way.

The people leaving with him included the martialists of Sacred Ice Palace. Although they had appeared hostile when they’d first arrived, they now left with great appreciation for what was done.

“Who would have thought! No wonder the earthly veins aligned and the phoenix paid a visit!”

“We won’t be as carefree as in the past!” The Shenwu Sect Elder nodded in agreement.

“I am here to pay a visit to the master. Can I be granted access?” the phoenix asked Yu Mo.

Even though he was inexperienced, Yun Μo was well aware of the boundless might hidden within the phoenix. However, despite knowing all this, he was unable to accede to its request. “I am not sure how you could meet my ancestral master either,” he said while shaking his head.

“In that case, will you please step aside? I believe the master will be able to hear my voice.” The phoenix then made a request. “Senior, this junior is hoping to seek shelter in your place,” the phoenix said respectfully.

“Due to the major disaster coming, the elder in my nest has asked us to split up and seek refuge elsewhere to get through this disaster.

“I heard from my elder that this impending disaster would definitely cause you to die as long as you were on the Yuanfu Catalog. Only one-tenth of those who are not in the catalog may stand a chance of surviving this!”

“Senior, your cultivation base is unparalleled and I believe that you will have great insight into what is going to happen. This junior hopes that you will grant him protection by letting him be one of your subordinates. As long as you grant my request, I will definitely do my best in the future to do whatever you ask of me!”

Luo Yunyang initially did not care about the requests made by the phoenix. However, he was shocked upon hearing about the Yuanfu Catalog.

Even though it was his first time hearing of such a catalog, he mysteriously felt as though he was somehow linked to this catalog.

Things would not be right if that was really the case.

“Is your name in this Yuanfu Catalog that you speak of?” Luo Yunyang echoed.

“My name is not in the Yuanfu Catalog! The phoenix race is considered a group of divine beasts of the sky and land and is hence excluded from the Yuanfu Catalog. However, every time such a catastrophe happens, about half our population dies.”

“In that case, do the people whose names are in the Yuanfu Catalog know that their names are in it?” Luo Yunyang asked.

“Normally, this would not be made known to those who are on the list, but some people would still take a guess. For example, those who have a high cultivation base would feel their hearts skip in terror every time they heard about the Yuanfu Catalog.”

Luo Yunyang had an urge to crush this phoenix. This jinxed mouth caused his heart to skip a beat when he heard about the Yuanfu Catalog.

Could his name already be in the Yuanfu Catalog?

Based on his current status, he was probably first amongst the core disciples of the Taixu Sect. If everything went smoothly, he would eventually become one of the supporting pillars of the Taixu Sect in the future. Would his name really be on the list of the Yuanfu Catalog?

“Of course, this might not be absolutely correct. There have been occasions when some of these highly-skilled martialists felt the same nerve-wracking feeling when their loved ones were on that list.”

Upon hearing no response from Luo Yunyang, the little phoenix continued its report. This time, Luo Yunyang really had the intense urge to just swat the little phoenix instantly.

“As far as you know, have any formidable martialists escaped this calamity even though their names were in the Yuanfu Catalog?” Luo Yunyang asked as he looked at the little phoenix.

“I am really not sure about this, but my elder has said before that even though it is hard to escape from the Yuanfu Catalog, it is not entirely impossible. I am not completely sure how this was done before!”

“You may leave for now!” Luo Yunyang replied, as he had decided to spare the little phoenix just this once.

After the little phoenix departed, Luo Yunyang mulled over the Yuanfu Catalog once again. Upon thinking about it, his heart once again filled with trepidation and fear.

Could his name be on the Yuanfu Catalog?

Luo Yunyang’s thoughts eventually strayed to the fact that Yuan Venerate Shending had accepted his son as a disciple. Back then, his intuition had told him that something was amiss. Now, the words of the phoenix brought back those feelings once again.

If even a Yuan Venerate at the Yuan Monarch level was unable to hide from the Yuanfu Catalog, then the upcoming series of events would definitely be extremely terrifying.

In an instant, Luo Yunyang began searching through the ancient records he had viewed before in the repository. To his great disappointment, there had been no records regarding the Yuanfu Catalog in the repository.

Given the strength and vast resources of the Taixu Sect, why was there no record of this?

Luo Yunyang felt an ominous foreboding as he thought about this!
