Chapter 37: [Hide the Sword in the Mountain, Die if Seen]


    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    Lu Xun descended the mountain with Sect Master Shen Yan, as he was currently unable to use objects to fly, so he treated Shen Yan as a taxi for the time being.


    The inability to fly was the main reason he hadn’t visited Ji Li recently. It was far too troublesome, and absolutely not due to a man’s heartlessness.


    Sect Master Shen Yan, as one of the rare eighth-level powerhouses on the Heavenly Dust Continent, lifted Lu Xun up with a flow of energy with a wave of his hand and then flew him to the mountain peak where the Outer Sect Disciples lived and cultivated.


    Upon reaching a great height, the most conspicuous amongst all the external mountain peaks was the Lead Peak at the outermost edge.


    A few days ago, Lu Xun had jumped off the cliff from there.


    It was as bare as Shen Yan, with no trees on the mountain peak, not even a single weed, you could say that nothing grew there.


    The t tform on the peak looked like it had been cut off by a sword, from a


    distance, it truly seemed like a gigantic sword sheath thrust into the earth!


    Although it was not his first time seeing it, Lu Xun was still deeply attracted, admiring in his heart the wonder of this mountain peak.


    Seeing that Lu Xun’s gaze lingered on Entry Peak for a long time, Shen Yan couldn’t help saying, “Is Junior Uncle Master finding Lead Peak quite unique?” “Hmm,” Lu Xun answered.


    Shen Yan also nced at Lead Peak and sighed, “Then does Junior Uncle Master know, who is responsible for the current appearance of this mountain peak?”


    Lu Xun shook his head, waiting for Shen Yan’s answer.


    “It was the founder of the Demon Sect, Master’s oldest disciple, and also my Master. ”


    That’s right, the ancestor of the Demon Sect was Lu Xun’s elder disciple brother.


    In the Heavenly Dust Continent, the Righteous Sects were led by the four major sects, and the Demonic Way was respected by the three major Demon Sects.


    Among these seven sects, four have a long history, but three are different.


    They are “One Sword Mountain”, “Ten Thousand Sword Mountain”, and “Demon Sect”.


    “One Sword Mountain” and “Ten Thousand Sword Mountain” do not have a long history, the reason is simply that they were formed by splitting from


    “Sword Mountain”, which is one of the oldest sects in the entire Heavenly Dust Continent.


    The Demon Sect, however, is different. Shen Yan is the second generation Sect Master of the Demon Sect, and the inheritance of the position of Sect Master has only reached its second generation.


    Looking at their foundations, the Demon Sect can’t really bepared with the other Six Major Sects, but in terms of the strength of the Sect Master and high-ranking members of the sect, the Demon Sect doesn’t lose out at all!


    On the surface, Sect Master Shen Yan is a powerful person of the eighth realm, and several Peak Masters are also at the peak of the seventh realm.


    Looking at the hidden side, perhaps the other Six Major Sects are hiding some Supreme Elders or other hidden forces, but the Demon Sect has Master.


    With just one Master…


    —It’s enough.


    Just this part of history has also indirectly confirmed that… even someone as powerful as Master, is actually a loose cultivator!


    Exactly because Master didn’t belong to any sect, his oldest disciple also didn’t belong to any sect, and so he was able to create the Demon Sect. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a betrayal of his original sect?


    Lu Xun’s oldest disciple brother is named Yan Li, whom he has never met. In fact, even Mao Nanbei has not seen the oldest disciple brother.


    The whole Demon Sect knows that their founding ancestor is currently in Closed-door Cultivation.


    The difficulty of Closed-door Cultivation can be sensed just from the name.


    One step forward means life, inability to take a step means death.


    Up until now, the oldest disciple brother has yet toe out of seclusion.


    Looking over the entire Heavenly Dust Continent, there are many people who hope that he will survive, and there are also many who hope he will die.


    Especially One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, their emotions are particrlyplex.


    The reason being, as the two most renowned Sword Cultivator sects on the Heavenly Dust Continent, the holy ces for sword practitioners, they have been overshadowed by a man from outside the sect. The oldest disciple brother practices the sword.


    A world unparalleled sword.


    If there were a list to rank the world’s top sword cultivators, then 2-10 would perhaps all be from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, but the universally acknowledged first on the list is in Closed -door Cultivation in Demon Sect.


    As long as he doesn’t breathe hisst, he will always be the world’s top in Sword Dao!


    Lu Xun couldn’t help but take another look at Lead Peak, when he joined the sect it was said that this mountain peak, which looked very much like a sword sheath, gives people the feeling of — loneliness!


    The world’s first, isn’t it all about loneliness!


    At this moment, as he looked back at the tform at the top of the mountain, he felt an inexplicable rise in vitality!


    Shen Yan seemed to see Lu Xun’s emotions, smiled, and said: “When Master initially chopped the mountain with a sword, to this day, half of his Sword Qi still remains on Lead Peak, thus this mountain peak has no grass.”


    “So the clue is here,” Lu Xun said in his heart.


    He didn’t know about this, it seemed to be one of the secrets of the Demon Sect.


    Shen Yan seemed in a mood to talk today, continuing, “This half Sword Qi hidden in the mountain, is actually the first line of our Demon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.”


    He pointed to a small hill opposite Lead Peak and said, “Not many outsiders know this secret, but there are some who do. Every few years, some old undying Sword Cultivatorse to that small hill to gaze at Lead Peak from a distance. It’s a pity that the sword is hidden in the mountain, most people can’t see through it, let aloneprehend it.”


    Upon hearing this, Lu Xun took a look at that small hill and wondered, “Why do


    I feel that hill looked like it was waist-deep?”


    He had a feeling that the hill was originally much taller, and that it must have been destroyed by a great cultivator.


    “Junior Uncle Master has good eyesight, that mountain… was cut by me.” Shen Yan said.


    He slightly raised his bald head, unhappy, “Those Sword Cultivators who wanted to steal our secrets, why were they standing so high?”


    On hearing this, Lu Xun couldn’t help butugh.


    By cutting that hill from across, those Sword Cultivators would have to stand on the hill and look up at Lead Peak.


    As for viewing or overlooking Lead Peak while floating in mid-air with a sword… do you really think the disciples of the Demon Sect are easy to provoke?


    The highest level that Lu Xun had reached in his past life was level 60, because back then level 60 was the top level of the current version, so he was curious about the strength of a level 80, eighth realm powerhouse, so he asked:


    “I really want to know, how many swords did the Sect Master use to cut the mountain?”


    Shen Yan said, “Just one.”


    After finishing, he added, “Although I, like Master, only used one sword, there’s a great difference between my sword and Master’s. I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to catch up with Master’s footsteps in this lifetime.”


    “Can Sect Master see the half Sword Qi hidden in Lead Peak by the oldest disciple brother?” Lu Xun asked again.


    “Indeed, I can. Every time I have doubts about my cultivation, Ie over to ponder.” Shen Yan told the truth, with no trace of embarrassment.


    After saying this, he saw the look of longing on Lu Xun’s face and said, “Does Junior Uncle Master want to see it?”


    Lu Xun nodded his head, there was nothing to deny about it.


    The world’s top Sword Cultivator’s half Sword Qi, how could anyone not want to see it?


    Shen Yan thought for a moment, and said, “I suppose I can help Junior Uncle Master with this.”


    Upon hearing this, Lu Xun’s eyes lit up.


    However, Shen Yan had a solemn face and said, “It’s different to explore on one’s own and to show it to someone else. I will only let Junior Uncle Master have a look, and can only let Junior Uncle Master have a look. Junior Uncle


    Master must not be greedy.”


    “What will happen if I look more?” Lu Xun asked out of curiosity.


    Shen Yan said, “You are examining the Sword Qi, and the Sword Qi is also examining you. ”


    This reminded Lu Xun of the saying, ‘When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”


    The next sentence of Shen Yan’s was:


    “And when the Sword Qi gazes at you, you die.”
