“If it looks at me once, I would be dead?” Lu Xun contemplated these words carefully.
He actually couldn’t die since he still had two revival counts left, but this was another matter.
As for why Shen Yan thought Lu Xun would die, it wasn’t that the sword qi would directly attack him, but that the mere gaze of the sword qi would be too heavy of a burden to bear for his life.
This half of the sword qi was the first ring of the Demon Sect’s great mountain-protection formation, it wasn’t some mere ornament.
Precisely speaking, from the development of the Demon Sect up to this day, those who attempted to break through would all die on the first ring, no one has ever broken through this half of the sword qi.
This was only half of the sword qi, imagine if it were the complete sword qi…
“I can’t imagine it, just can’t imagine it.”
“Is Little Uncle-Master prepared?” After a while, Shen Yan’s hoarse voice sounded out.
His voice truly seemed like a chicken screeching.
Especially when he was serious about a matter, he sounded just like a… chicken screeching seriously.
After hearing this, Lu Xun nodded after taking a deep breath.
Shen Yan said no more, he joined two fingers together as if they were a sword, and then drew them across Lu Xun’s eyes.
Nothing world-shaking happened afterward, Lu Xun only felt a sense of disengagement, and then the scenery in front of his eyes changed all of a sudden.
Lu Xun first felt the sky turn dark, however, when Shen Yan’s two fingers drew a line across his eyes, a crevice seemed to have been torn open in the endless darkness.
He was now going to take a single glance at the sword qi hidden in Greeting Peak through this small crevice!
Everything happened in a flash, he vividly saw the sword qi, this was the half of the unrivaled sword qi!
It was difficult for him to describe what the scene he saw was.
If it had to be generalized, it was a sword of heaven and earth!
Since Lu Xun only shot a quick glance, he didn’t see much.
Even with just this, his mind also started to shake up.
This half of the sword qi contained far too many things that he couldn’t understand at this moment, the tier difference was far too great.
What surprised him the most was that in just a mere instant, the moment he saw the sword qi, the sword qi also saw him, and then… the sword qi turned around and suddenly disappeared, it concealed itself!
‘Hong!’ Lu Xun’s thoughts recoiled back like the tide, he was forcibly pulled back by Shen Yan.
In the sky, Lu Xun’s body suddenly jolted, it uncontrollably trembled for a moment.
“That’s it?” He was a little dumbfounded.
He only took a single glance as to what was agreed upon. However, this half of the sword qi… why did it suddenly start playing hide-and-seek?
If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss… shied away.
Lu Xun was completely unable to make sense of the matter at this moment.
As for Shen Yan, who was currently beside him, his complexion didn’t appear really well. Clearly, the effort for leading Lu Xun to take a glance at the sword qi just now was an extremely exhausting matter.
As for the reaction the half of the sword qi gave him, he wasn’t aware of it for the time being.
Shen Yan used his sleeves to wipe off the fine beads of sweat on his bald head, after he calmed the vital energies within his body, he asked Lu Xun, “Little Uncle-master… was this of benefit?”
How much was comprehended all depended on Lu Xun’s own luck.
When he asked this question, he discovered that Lu Xun was a little absent-minded.
Lu Xun’s mind did indeed wander off at this moment, it was because he surprisingly discovered that he even though he only took a single glance at the sword qi, the game’s system determined that he had a great fortuitous encounter, it actually rewarded him one special attribute point—’Sword Dao Aptitude + 1!’
‘Heavenly Earth’ was definitely a game like this, it gave you the feeling as if you truly were placed in a real xianxia world.
Since it was a xianxia world, then there was destiny, luck, and one’s own—’comprehension’!
How would the game convey this idea to players?
It would be to add special attribute points!
Despite Lu Xun’s own mind still being amidst the clouds and mist, the game’s system still determined that he indeed comprehended something from it!
Honestly speaking, if he was to be asked to recall exactly how the half of the sword qi looked like now, he wouldn’t be able to remember anything.
Just the single glance he was given was too hurried, the half of the sword qi was also too powerful, he even had a feeling that he couldn’t look straight at it.
However, the profound feeling at the bottom of his heart was still there all along, he truly seemed to have understood something. If he were asked to say exactly what he understood… he didn’t know and wouldn’t be able to do so.
This was perhaps the so-called—’elated to the degree of forgetting one’s form.’
Understanding its essence and forgetting its form1!
The special attribute point was directly added in his status, it was after ‘Luck 1’, ‘Perception 1’, and ‘Charisma 10’, ‘Sword Dao Aptitude 1’ was added!
A refreshing feeling surged within Lu Xun’s body, it first passed through his limbs and bones, and then poured into the space between his eyebrows.
All of this was seen in the eyes of Shen Yan, the stewed egg waved his right hand, and a barrier separated Lu Xun from the outside world, this was done so as to avoid external disturbances.
It was also just a spur of the moment decision for him, he used such immense effort to let Little Uncle-Master take a single glance at master’s sword qi.
However, master’s sword qi really was too superior, even he had only comprehended a small amount of its true meaning.
It was reasonable to say that for Lu Xun at his current tier, it should have been extremely difficult to comprehend anything.
On Earth, it would be similar to someone watching an expert maneuver smoothly and naturally while yelling “wtf”. However, inside the brain, nothing was understood, there was only the feeling of it being truly kick-ass!
But as it happened, Little Uncle-Master really received a great blessing!
‘Could it be… could Little-Uncle Master be a sword Dao genius?’ Shen Yan thought.
‘That must be it! Perhaps he has the legendary natural sword constitution!’
At this very moment, the change Lu Xun stirred up was a little bit large.
The remaining peak masters hurried over one after another, upon taking a look at their Little Uncle-Master, all of them were astonished.
“Just with a mere glance, it was all it took to comprehend something?” Water Cloud Peak’s Peak Master Luo Wanqiu exclaimed.
At this moment, Lu Xun couldn’t hear the sounds of them talking anymore, nor could it bother him.
Evergreen Peak’s Peak Master Sima Chuan, who was the eldest, he was also the big senior brother of everyone on the scene, after he looked around Lu Xun, he said, “He’s still at the second layer of the Qi Devouring Formula, and he already took the first step on the path of Sword Dao? If one surveyed the entire lands of Heavenly Earth, would you find another youngster in any other sect capable of doing this!?”
With that said, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and then, this laughter led to a chain which caused everyone else to let out a carefree laugh.
As expected, Leap Next Peak’s Peak Master Yue Heshan was the one with the most deviated brain circuit, he couldn’t help but say, “Little Uncle-Master has such talents! This means that the Sea of Qi that he saw on that day, it should be at least the degree of a large river, I should be considered the winner in the gamble!”
To be able to think about the gambling party at this time, this was truly expected of the charitable gambling king who lost in every gamble, now that he felt that he seemed to have won once, a smile instinctively brimmed across his face.
The most miraculous thing was, after he said this, the train of thoughts of Shen Yan and the other peak masters were actually sidetracked!
These few old farts actually started a fierce discussion in the air. As they discussed, they almost started flaming each other!
If Shen Yan hadn’t enveloped Lu Xun with vital energy and isolated the movement outside, he probably would have gone into Qi Deviation.
In reality, even though these old farts were quarreling on the surface, their attention was all on Lu Xun.
As a matter of fact, once Lu Xun’s body suddenly jolted, they immediately stopped their conversation.
In the air, Lu Xun opened his eyes.
After an instant, a semi-transparent wave dispersed with him as the center of the circle, almost just like ripples undulating into the surroundings.
Once it spread out, it went as far as several tens of Li1 in the perimeter!
The next moment, an anomaly in heaven and earth arose!
