I Have A Martial Arts Panel-Chapter 219 - Swallow Heron Sect

Chapter 219 Swallow Heron Sect

“You want me to rebuild your sect for you?”

Although Wan Ye’s previous attitude made Xu Ning realize that he held some expectations for him.

But Xu Ning still felt that this was ridiculous.

“Senior Wan Ye, you are thinking too highly of me…”

Xu Ning refused without hesitation.

His current strength was not even in the dao realm.

Even if he advanced to the dao realm and went to State Wansheng, it would be too difficult to rebuild a declining sect bare-handed.

For him, this was not a good thing. “It’s not that I think highly of you, but with your talent, you can definitely become the foundation of a sect in State Wansheng.” Wan Ye persuaded, “Only core disciples of top sects and the princes and princesses of the royal family can condense six attribute seeds in their twenties. Moreover, they are all built on countless resources. If they were in your environment, they might not be able to do better than you.”

“But Senior Wan Ye, I am now a member of the Yuelan Sect, it is inappropriate to join another sect.”

Xu Ning gave another reason to refuse.

Wan Ye laughed when he heard this.

“You don’t need to worry about that at all.”

Wan Ye said, “When you go to State Wansheng, you will know that it is very common to enter a sect for the second time. Some top geniuses are not normally discovered at the beginning, so they would be relegated to enter some small sects. But once their talents are fully displayed and the small sects can no longer accommodate them, they will leave.”

“Moreover, those small sects that they have stayed in previously will also be very supportive. Because once those geniuses gain a foothold in a large sect and become big shots, they will become their backers.”

Wan Ye said earnestly, “You may not have experienced this in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, but when you arrive in State Wansheng, you will find that this is very normal.”

“Young geniuses from outside of State Wansheng are all the same when they come to State Wansheng. Geniuses flow into State Wansheng every year. They entered sects on their own, but in order to pursue a higher level of martial arts, they would change sects after reaching State Wansheng.”

Wan Ye tried his best to persuade Xu Ning. “If you really have concerns, you can ask your sect master. He will definitely support you in this.”

“This…”

After Wan Ye said this, Xu Ning looked troubled.

He saw Wan Ye’s sincerity, but this might not be a good thing for him.

“Xu Ning, do you think of this responsibility as a shackle?”

Wan Ye noticed Xu Ning’s thoughts.

“That’s right.”

Xu Ning did not hide anything. “State Wansheng is definitely full of challenges, and I don’t have any confidence that I can rebuild a powerful sect there.”

“Don’t worry.” Wan Ye continued to persuade, “Although the sect is in decline, talents are everywhere. If you can go to State Wansheng, there will naturally be resources to help you rebuild the sect.”

“Before the previous sect master died, he hid all the treasures of the sect. As long as you agree to accept this sect token, you will naturally inherit all of them. After inheriting those treasures, you can definitely recruit disciples and gather the people’s hearts.”

“Moreover, there are tons of resources in the sect that can help your cultivation. With these resources, your cultivation speed will be extremely fast. Isn’t it better to control the resources of an official sect than to be a core disciple of a large sect?”

There was even a hint of temptation in Wan Ye’s tone.

‘Tons of resources…’

After hearing Wan Ye’s words, Xu Ning was really tempted.

For Xu Ning, resources were energy points, and energy points were the foundation of his martial arts.

After advancing to the dao realm, it was inevitable that he would go to State Wansheng.

If he accepted it, once he arrived there, he would immediately have resources to support him, which would make his life much easier.

“How is it? Are you willing to accept my sect token?” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

Wan Ye saw Xu Ning was moved and quickly asked.

“Senior Wan Ye, please let me think about it.”

In fact, Xu Ning was already leaning towards accepting the sect token, but this matter was too important. He still needed time to think carefully, weigh the pros and cons, and consider some details.

“Sure.”

Wan Ye knew that he couldn’t force Xu Ning.

Only after careful consideration could he make a decision to firmly rebuild his sect.

Otherwise, if he agreed on impulse, he would hesitate in the future.

“By the way, Senior Wan Ye, what is the name of the sect you mentioned?”

Since he was already moved, Xu Ning wanted to know more.

Wan Ye smiled. “Our sect is called the Swallow Heron Sect.”

“The Swallow Heron Sect…”

Xu Ning whispered and slowly nodded.

Rebuilding the Swallow Heron Sect was likely to become an important challenge for him.

“Senior Wan Ye, according to what you said, the Heron Swallow Sect is an official sect and is protected by the Imperial Court, but why did it still decline?”

Xu Ning wanted to know more.

After hearing Xu Ning’s question, Wan Ye sighed.

“Sit down and talk.”

Wan Ye sat on a stone bench in the courtyard.

Xu Ning followed him and poured a cup of tea for Wan Ye before sitting on the side.

As for Gray, it curled up in the corner, as if this would give it a sense of security.

When Cyan, who was leaning against the wall, saw Gray approaching, it bared its teeth and showed a fierce expression, as if it was provoking Gray.

Gray ignored this.

“It is true that the Imperial Court protects official sects, but it only protects official sects from the harm and invasion of those unofficial sects. But regarding the competition between official sects, except for plundering and slaughtering, they do not concern themselves with anything else. State Wansheng is essentially a martial arts world where the strong prey on the weak. But because of the intervention of the Imperial Court, the competition is relatively gentler, and there is not too much bloodshed.”

Wan Ye took a sip of tea and continued, “Although compared to those unofficial sects, the way for official sects to obtain resources is relatively stable. As long as they don’t provoke trouble, they can ensure the continuation of their sect. However, if you want to further develop and expand the benefits of your sect, you can only take risks.”

“And the decline of the Swallow Heron Sect was because of this.”

“I was an elder of the Swallow Heron Sect. The previous sect master, which is my senior brother, wanted to obtain more resources and gather more talents. Thus, he took the initiative to break into the resource circles of those unofficial sects and compete fiercely with them. Moreover, at the same time, the competition between our sect and other official sects did not stop.”

“In this aggressive environment, Senior Brother couldn’t control the situation. After making a wrong decision, he offended a princess of the royal family and was suppressed. Then, under the joint attack of an official sect and an unofficial sect, the Swallow Heron Sect collapsed.”

This seemed to trigger Wan Ye’s most painful memory. He only talked about the general situation with not too much detail.

“In that incident, more than half of the core disciples in the sect were killed or injured, and the high-level combat power of the sect was dealt a devastating blow. Faced with sects who wanted to completely devour the Swallow Heron Sect, the Sect Master had no choice but to disperse the Swallow Heron Sect and hide the resources left behind by the sect. He knew that he had let down the seniors of the sect, so he took revenge alone and died in the end.”

Wan Ye stopped.

After a long time, he said, “When we dispersed the Swallow Heron Sect, Senior Brother gave me the sect token. However, he did not leave behind any instructions. Perhaps he also felt that there was no hope of rebuilding the sect…”

“But I still held the hope, so in order to avoid people with ulterior motives, I hid in the seventeen states of the Abyss North and concealed my identity, hoping to find a suitable successor, but it has been fruitless so far. Now that a hundred years have passed, the storm in State Wansheng has basically been quelled. There may not be many people who still remember the Swallow Heron Sect.”

“Although it is sad, this is also an opportunity… At least when we rebuild the sect, our enemies will no longer notice us, giving us plenty of opportunities and time to rebuild…”

Wan Ye said a lot.

Xu Ning felt that when Wan Ye explained to him, it was actually a form of confession.

According to what Wan Ye said, it had been a hundred years since he left State Wansheng and arrived at the seventeen states of the Abyss North

In that period, he definitely couldn’t tell anyone about this. Xu Ning might be the first person to have heard his story.

“Senior Wan Ye…”

Xu Ning asked another question in his mind. “Since you have always wanted to rebuild the sect, why don’t you do it yourself? Why do you need to find a successor?”

Wan Ye shook his head. “I can’t.”

“You can’t?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows.

“When I was chased into the Endless Sea Abyss by my opponent at that time, I was seriously injured and my realm fell. Now, my body is completely exhausted, and I am about to reach the end of my life at any time now.”

Wan Ye’s words were bleak, but he was relatively calm.

He seemed to have thought this through.

“Moreover, even if I rebuild the sect, the others who were dismissed back then will not listen to my call to gather again. At the same time, it will be difficult to recruit new disciples because everyone knows where my upper limit is. They all know that if they follow me, they will definitely not be able to rebuild a powerful sect, and they might even be seriously injured again.”

“But you are different… You are young and have great potential. When you arrive in State Wansheng, you can mainly improve your strength and rebuild the sect on a small scale. When you completely mature, you can take the initiative to attack and intimidate everyone. If you can advance to the high level of the dao realm, not only will you be able to rebuild the sect, but you can also let the Swallow Heron Sect return to its former glory.”

Wan Ye’s calm eyes were lit ablaze again.

Xu Ning could feel Wan Ye’s strong desire and persistence to rebuild the Swallow Heron Sect.
