Chapter 598: Mount Song Sword Sect

Chong Xiezi, Kong Min, and the Jade Horde leaders only stuck around for a few days. They were happy to build a better relationship with the Mount Song Sword Sect and also to make sure they wouldnt need to rush to save Sage again, which they mentioned multiple times over drinks at dinnertime to tease him. They left using the local branch of the Merciful Mollusk, and then Sage spent another couple weeks with Zhu Jiao and Wan Ling, making sure that theyd be safe here. He didnt want to send them to the Inner World or take them into the Universe Ring because he was worried about what happened the last time he was killed. If forming a new body was as harsh as that time, then he might be a mindless beast for a few years and theyd be trapped.

He also dallied to let Dian Huifang and Manji have more fun on the Inner World. After theyd spent a few years there, they were brought back out along with Ruanfu to meet the rest of the Tiankong Family. Jiyaos mother had lost her left leg, and Juzuis right eye now had a patch over it, but most of the Tiankong were in pretty good shape after that terrible fight. They were happy to meet with their other relatives, but for the siblings with Sage they had been separated for hundreds of years. The faster time scale on the Inner World had put them at much different levels now, so while pleased to see them, their bonds werent nearly as strong as when they were children.

During these few weeks, Sage taught his Item Set creation technique to the Mount Song Sword Sect weapon refiners. As it was something rudimentary that he developed himself, it was pretty easy for them to learn it. Using materials from the exact same source and crafting them together step by step, it was truly quite simple. The true holding trick to it was the specificity of these directions.

Metal ore from the same mine was not good enough. It had to be ore extracted together from the same place, like it was from a single solid lump. It had to incorporate the same piece from a single beast inside each part of the set. So the teeth of any old Flame Lion wouldnt work, each piece of the set had to include the same number of teeth from a single Flame Lion.

Crafting them together step by step didnt mean to just follow the same process, it meant to literally perform the same action to each piece equally. Sage showed them his process by building another set of formation swords. A dozen large claws from a giant wolf, each of them fired together. Then he took one out and hammered upon it using a telekinetically wielded hammer, then put it back into the flame and grabbed the next one, performing the exact same strikes upon it before returning it to the flame. A few hours later, he finally finished the forging and due to mistakes he made along the way, as well as because he was working without a body, he was left with a set of only six. Three of them were destroyed by the flames, while the other three were completed, but not in unison enough to resonate with the set.

The many members of the Tiankong Family were given another chance to head to the Inner World and only a few of them took him up on the offer. Most of them quite liked the Sword Sect and didnt want to be separated for what could be hundreds of years. Sage was actually a little annoyed, With all of you out here, who is going to be in charge of the Inner World?

Even Kings three wives that had formerly run the place werent eager to go back inside. Baozhais Mother and Jiyaos Mother were happy to spend more time with them, while the third woman, a Giant Blue Crane, had no children. She was always quite lonely, but now there were so many other birds and beasts to spend time with. Sage realized he needed to increase the diversity on the Inner World. There were so many types of insects, but only a few Demonic Beasts.

Elder Manji and Dian Huifang enjoyed their time on the Inner World, but they also had to return. Manji was the guardian elder of the Thundercloud Sect, and Dian Huifang was still on house arrest. Despite wanting to stay there forever, Manji would be the one in trouble for helping her escape, so he had to bring her back. He would face a little flak for taking her out for a few weeks, but he would be in big trouble if he helped her run away for good. Predictably, Ruanfu also wished to stay outside and even travel with Manji back to the Thundercloud Sect. She finally managed to get her way because of Wanqian Lei. He was a Golden Thundereagle, a rare variant beast, and she wanted to get him into the Thundercloud Sect. She was sure their lightning and thunder techniques would fit him perfectly.

Even the four beast friends of the Tiankong siblings came out to stay with them. The Winged Squirrel, Fei Shu, along with a giant lizard and a pair of twin green furred minks, joined this Tiankong Family mountain.

Sage was a little worried about the Inner World going hundreds of years with nobody in charge, but he decided to just leave them to their own business. Kings wives and the Tiankong Siblings had trained plenty of subordinates and theyd just have to step up and fill their shoes. With nobody there he really cared for, he would just have to let them all fend for themselves.

As he was about to leave, Wan Ling gave him a little peck on the cheek and he couldnt help but laugh like a schoolboy as he disappeared into the Universe Ring.
