At this very moment, in the Demon Sect’s outer mountains.
Ji Li propped up her cheek with one hand, she squeezed out a meaty crease on her small and somewhat chubby face.
She was a little lost in thought as she counted the days in her mind.
…It had already been quite a few days since she hadn’t seen Lu Xun.
When they parted last time on the Rear Mountain, Lu Xun courteously told her he’d visit her, she truly took this promise to heart.
On that day when she went down the mountain, the wind felt tender, the sunshine was radiant, the flowers were fragrant… even her feet would subconsciously tiptoe lightly.
However, as time passed day after day, apart from seeing each other once from a far distance on the grand ceremony, Lu Xun simply never came to visit her.
What upset her the most was that when she thought about it carefully, she didn’t even seem to have the right to seethe in anger.
Lu Xun was now her Little Great Uncle-Master, he was one of the most noble people of the Demon Sect. His status was undeniable, there was already this large of a distance between them.
And she, for the time being, was just a mere small outer sect disciple.
A girl’s thoughts were complicated after all, even if rationality told her, “That’s the truth, alright? You have nothing to be angry about. But my emotions choose—not to listen!”
“Hmph! Today’s another seething day!”
Interestingly, even though she obviously had held in this feeling of injustice for such a long time, her favorability count, as a matter of fact, unexpectedly didn’t drop down a single point…
To be known as a small pear, but really a soft persimmon, Ji Li was perhaps naturally destined to be bullied.
Just when she was distracted, she indistinctly saw a semi-transparent ripple undulate into the surroundings.
‘Are my eyes blurry?’ She thought.
And then, the next moment, the Wedding Dress sword she had set aside suddenly shook!
Although the blade’s shaking died down in a flash, this movement was still caught by Ji Li.
“What’s going on?” Ji Li, whose juices were so abundant that even water entered her brain, started to become muddleheaded.
What she didn’t know was that the anomaly in heaven and earth and the trembling of swords didn’t stop!
…
One of the Demon Sect’s main peaks, Water Cloud Peak.
A fat and sturdy figure was right in the middle of practicing the sword.
Mu Rongyan held her Goose Feather sword, she was currently in the middle of practicing the Water Cloud Peak’s original sword technique.
Though she looked fat like a ball, she was an expert in movement techniques. Her entire body lightly flew up, it was extremely like an orbiting butter… uh, a balloon with a butterfly sticker.
In other words, she was an agile fatty.
While using the entire set of sword techniques, Mu Rongyan held her longsword in hand and brandished the sword in the air to draw it out in the shape of a flower.
Compared to before she returned to the sect, her cultivation had indeed progressed even further.
Because a few days ago, the sect conferred her a Spirit Pill, it was considered the reward for accompanying Cat Southnorth down the mountain and wandering around.
After all, Shen Yan and the peak masters all knew that Cat Southnorth wasn’t an easy one to deal with.
They didn’t request that she be lovable and sensible to her, it was really good enough to just stir up less trouble.
Thus, since accompanying Cat Southnorth down the mountain and wandering around was considered a difficult mission, this deserved some sort of a reward.
Just as Mu Rongyan prepared to rest for a while, she also saw the semi-transparent ripples that undulated through the air.
The Goose Feather sword she held in her right hand also shook lightly.
However, when compared to the Wedding Dress sword’s shaking, the Goose Feather sword’s was much lighter.
Despite this, Mu Rongyan still keenly sensed it.
She lifted her naive and chubby face towards the sky while wearing a puzzled expression.
…
Rear Mountain, the bamboo forest.
Second Senior Sister Gu Xiao Man, sat on the giant rock.
She nodded slightly as if she were quite satisfied.
That semi-transparent ripple had also traveled to this point, the only difference was…
…The wooden hairpin inserted in her hair didn’t move the slightest bit.
…
Heaven and earth’s anomaly spread through a radius of tens of Li, the majority of the Demon Sect’s enchanted armaments all began to shake!
Yes, the reaction of the swords were only limited to swords which are enchanted armaments, precisely the yellow-grade type.
All the long swords that were higher than the level of an enchanted armament didn’t give out any response.
However, long swords of enchanted armaments were the disciples’ mainstream weapon.
This heaven and earth anomaly actually directly triggered the response of over thousands of enchanted armaments!
Many of the Demon Sect’s disciples all had doubts in their minds:
‘Where did the semi-transparent ripple come from just now?’
‘Why did my enchanted armament involuntarily shake just now?’
The outer sect disciples didn’t understand much regarding this matter, it was mainly because they were still too far from that tier. However, most of the inner sect disciples understood exactly what had happened.
This was… someone who solidified the Heart of the Sword!?
It was said that the one who was illuminated by the Heart of the Sword could reach further heights on the path of the sword Dao. However, the Heart of the Sword wasn’t something that every sword cultivator possessed, for one to produce the Heart of the Sword meant that one was absolutely exceptionally gifted in the sword Dao.
This was unrelated to cultivation aptitude, as it was only related to your comprehension of the sword Dao, it was only related to swords!
The Demon Sect had so many inner sect disciples, amongst which, only very few have produced the Heart of the Sword. Mu Rongyan, for example, despite cultivating assiduously for many years, she still lacked a bit of a push.
Many people were currently guessing that some inner sect senior brother or senior sister was suddenly enlightened.
Well, no one thought about Lu Xun.
This was because Little Great Uncle-Master had only cultivated for such a short period of time, no matter how high his sword Dao talents were, he shouldn’t be able to produce the Heart of the Sword during his cultivation stage of Qi Devouring Formula.
Even Shen Yan felt that this was extremely unexpected, a person with such shallow cultivation shouldn’t be able to reap any benefits even if they went to Greeting Peak to examine the half of the sword qi.
Just like if you just learned how to multiply and divide, and then a calculus teaching material was suddenly thrown at you for self-study, it’d be a wonder if you could understand anything!
However, Lu Xun had the game’s system with him.
Other people had superb talents in the sword Dao, with this, they would then achieve comprehension and produce the Heart of the Sword.
While Lu Xun’s ‘Sword Dao Aptitude’ was naturally zero, he only needed to cheat to produce the Heart of the Sword, and rely on the Heart of the Sword to forcibly raise his aptitude.
Thus, he appeared particularly special to the people of this world, no one could seem to understand what happened no matter how they thought about it.
However, on the road of cultivation, there were truly too many things that couldn’t be understood.
Perhaps, this Little Uncle-master of theirs really was the legendary once in a thousand years ‘Natural Sword Constitution!’
The only thing that Sect Master Shen Yan and the peak masters pondered over was:
At such a low cultivation, could anyone from the One Sword Mountain produce the Heart of the Sword?
None!
Then could anyone from the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain produce the Heart of the Sword?
Also none!
Then what’s the hold-up?
Laugh!
“Hahahahahahaha!”
A fit of carefree laughter could be heard from the sky, Sect Master Shen Yan and the other peak masters all laughed out loud, they deliberately made it so that the laughter spread throughout the entire sect!
“Hahahaha! Congratulations Little Uncle-Master for comprehending the Heart of the Sword!”
Such an impressive feat should be known by the entire sect, this was so that all the disciples could be intensely proud of him and would even strive harder at the same time!
Shen Yan’s screeching chicken-like voice spread from the top to the bottom of the Demon Sect, everyone who heard this couldn’t help but be shocked!
“The heaven and earth’s anomaly just now was actually because of Little Great Uncle-Master!?”
Lu Xun’s prestige value… started to drastically rise again!
In the blink of an eye, it actually broke through the mark of 2,000 points! The prestige value mission had coincidentally completed like this.
Lu Xun, who had already opened his eyes, looked at the mission that had been completed. A carefree smile showed on his face.
He saw that Shen Yan and the rest were laughing so happily, so, he naturally followed their tempo and laughed along with them.
But as Shen Yan and the rest laughed, they suddenly thought of something.
Our Little Uncle-Master, the one who solidified the Heart of the Sword with just a single glance of half the sword qi, ever since he entered the sect to this day…
… he still didn’t have a sword!
…
