Chapter 44: 1 Jar of Wine 1 Chance
Chapter 44: 1 Jar of Wine 1 Chance
The sky is high and the clouds are light, with thick mist.
Three meters in front of the young man's eyes, sword energy was like a torrent, and a huge canyon was like a natural chasm that stretched for who knows how far until it reached the edge of the sky, forming a magnificent spectacle of a valley blocking the blue sky and two mountains dividing the world.
The wind howled beneath the Sword Cliff, and countless iron swords stretched from the top of the cliff into the canyon until they disappeared at the bottom of the cloud sea. It gave people the illusion that only swords existed between heaven and earth, and only swords existed.
The sword energy was like a strong wind, blowing the young man's black robe rustling. Xu Zhian swallowed slowly, not knowing how to express his shock at this moment.
"How's that? Your jar of wine is worth it, right?"
The young girl at the side opened her lips slightly, her face full of pride.
Xu Zhian nodded and said, "This sword cliff looks like a scabbard."
The girl said calmly, "Because this sword cliff was originally split open by a sword."
Xu Zhian was extremely shocked, and asked with great excitement: "Can the Sword Immortal do this?"
The girl nodded and then shook her head and said, "Legend has it that it was a sword slashed down by the Celestial Lord in order to kill the Black Dragon and its descendants. Did you see those swords? Legend has it that they came from the sky, pouring down and destroying the Dragon Clan. I guess at least a sword immortal on land could have done that."
As the girl spoke, she pointed to the countless iron swords densely packed on the cliff in the distance.
Looking at the marvelous sight of Jianya, Xu Zhian could not help but think of what his senior brother had said: If you don't climb the cliff, how can you see all the mountains? Only by traveling thousands of miles can you see the vastness of the world.
At this time, the young man's state of mind was quietly undergoing a drastic change. If he was a poor countryman who had just started practicing cultivation before, then at this moment, the young man had his heart set on heaven and earth, and had officially stepped out of this mundane world, returning to the path of Tao.
Seeing that the young man had an epiphany, Jiang Ying stopped disturbing him and stepped aside to nourish his flying sword.
A figure in white inside the young man's body opened his eyes slightly, and a black dog was standing at his feet, with its head hanging, looking a little listless.
The figure in white smiled bitterly and said to himself, "Lan Ruyu, Lan Ruyu, what else can you think about? Now that he has arrived at Jianya, your mission is about to end. But for some reason, I suddenly feel reluctant to let him go."
The helpless murmur of the white-clothed figure could not reach the young man's ears after all.
The sword energy from the outside world was all around, with constant howling sounds. The young man's body was a world of his own, full of peace.
Xu Zhian's state of mind was like a lake, calm and without ripples. The Meng sword technique was like a golden koi swaying and swimming in it, seeming to break through the surface of the water.
The meridians in the body also appeared one after another, like thin red threads that eventually weaved into a big net.
The girl next to her seemed a little impatient of waiting, so she simply stopped paying attention to the boy and took a nap leaning against a dead tree next to her.
When Xu Zhian looked at the sword manual in the lake of his heart until it disappeared, the young man came to his senses belatedly.
At this moment, the boy's body was filled with sword energy again, but Xu Zhian was no longer as embarrassed as before. Carefully feeling the changes in his body, he discovered that his realm was now at the peak of the second floor, and his cultivation was also at the peak of the second realm. It was extremely solid and no longer as superficial as before.
Xu Zhian saw a girl in red sleeping soundly against a dead tree. Flying swords were surrounding her and protecting her. The young man endured the pain of the sword energy and walked in front of the girl.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Xu Zhian was a little dazed. He wondered if it was the delicious food in his dream that made the girl's lips move frequently and smelled extremely sweet.
The red dress looks like blood, and the sword is as cold as frost.
As if sensing the changes in the outside world, the girl blinked her eyes and gradually woke up.
Xu Zhian quickly looked away, feeling a little guilty. He had never looked at a girl so rudely before, and thought he was just distracted for a moment. If he had ruined the girl's good impression, he would really regret it.
The girl didn't seem to notice the boy's embarrassment, and said quickly, "You are really lucky. It's your first time on the cliff, but you can still have a clear mind and clear thoughts."
Xu Zhian blushed a little and just bowed his hands and said: "Thank you very much, otherwise, I really don't know when I can reach the peak of the second realm."
The girl stood up and stretched: "It's your chance, it has nothing to do with me. I can only say that your wine is worth it."
Xu Zhian chuckled: "If you want to drink in the future, just come to me directly."
The girl was delighted when she heard it and said, "Really? Then I won't be polite."
Xu Zhian nodded and said with a little embarrassment: "Well, you just can't drink too much. I don't have much either."
The girl also nodded and said, "Okay."
Xu Zhian looked at the sun in the sky, then he bowed to the girl and said, "Miss Jiang, I have to go back first. Some of the things I bought are still on the hillside below."
The girl nodded and said, "Then I'll take you there."
The young man waved his hand quickly and said, "No, I'm fine."
Xu Zhian endured the stinging pain from the sword energy and retreated all the way to the hillside. This time, the young man found that he was one step closer to the top of the mountain. Before, the hillside was a great place for the young man to practice swordsmanship, and now with breakthroughs in both sword skills and cultivation, the day when he would reach the top was no longer far away.
Xu Zhian picked up the supplies scattered on the ground and walked towards the hill.
Just when Xu Zhian was about to reach the cave, a burst of angry roars came from the cave.
Xu Zhian walked forward slowly and cautiously, stopped about ten steps away from the cave, and listened to the conversation of everyone inside.
"Brother Wu, let's go back, otherwise, Junior Sister's hand will really be lost."
A woman's pleading voice was heard in the cave, with a slight sob tone in her voice.
"No! What did I promise Master when I came out? I can't return to Tianjian Mountain without breaking through the realm. If I go back now, how will the people in the sect look at me, Wu Weidu!"
The young man seemed a little angry and continued, "There is one more thing you should not forget. Junior Sister Li was so badly injured and even had one of her arms cut off. If you go back like this, will Master let you go?"
After no one answered for a long time, the previous voice was heard again: "Besides, I have a feeling that I will break through in the next few days. The sword energy here is hundreds of times stronger than the Ten Thousand Swords Valley of the sect. I believe you can also sense it. If I practice here for a year, it will be equivalent to the results of several years of hard work in the sect. Think about it!"
At this time, a voice echoed: "I will listen to Senior Brother Wu!"
As everyone expressed their intention to stay, the woman who had previously said she wanted to go back stopped talking.
At this time, the voice of the young man surnamed Wu rang out in the cave again: "Master asked me to come to Sword Cliff this time. In addition to breaking through the realm, there is actually another reason, and that is the secret under Sword Cliff!"
