One matter closed.
The handwritten notes of the Master were lost and found.
Chen Jinyi was escorted off and prepared for interrogation.
Qin Li didn’t leave, but stood in place and waited patiently.
As Han asked to take care of everything, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior apprentice brother Qin, what have you been waiting here for if you didn’t go to the Great Book Depository to pick out the Ninth Grade Immortal Technique?”
Qin Li arched his hand and smiled, “Senior Brother Han, there are numerous Ninth Grade Immortal Arts in the Book Building, and I don’t know which one to pick, so I wanted to ask for your advice.”
“You’re really spooky.”Han asked with a faint smile, his face not as cold as before, “Speak, what type of immortal art do you need?”
“The strongest!”Qin Li was straightforward.
“Oh?”Han asked as his eyes lit up and he helplessly laughed, “Senior Brother Qin, your ambitions aren’t small!”
“Just as well! You come with me, let’s make a trip to the Sword Division!”
Han asked and flew off in the air, and Qin Li also harnessed his recluse and followed.
On the way.
Qin Li asked, “Senior Brother Han, why don’t we go to the Great Book Depository.”
Han asked, explaining, “The most recognised and strongest Immortal Technique in the academy, the One Thought Ten Thousand Swords Technique, is no longer in the Great Collection Bookstore, but in the Sword Department.”
Qin Li came to be interested, of the twenty-one divisions of the Xixuan Academy, the one with the highest combat power was the Sword Division, and the sword cultivators within were all fierce fighters.
Soon!
The two arrived at the Sword Department.
There were no palace pagodas around here, just some grass huts built on the mountain, rather plain.
At the bottom was an open square, where hundreds of Sword Department disciples were practising their swords.
There were quite a few sword cultivators among them, holding bladeless iron swords against each other, sparks flying in all directions between you and me.
“What kind of immortal art is this?”
Qin Li inquired curiously, vaguely feeling that he had seen these moves somewhere before.
Han asked, explaining, “This is the Yi Sword Art, the main research direction of the Sword Department, not an immortal art, but a superposition of various sword moves. When you encounter sword cultivators in the future, you must not let them get close to you, otherwise you will be in despair.”
Qin Li came to a sudden realisation, no wonder he felt familiar, it turned out to be the old man Leaning Mountain who had used the same move, indeed it was overpowering and unusual, once he got close, it was extremely troublesome.
At this time.
An Immortal King flew in from the distance.
He was eight feet tall, wearing armour and carrying a huge sword on his back, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.
“Greetings to Senior Uncle Heavy Sword.”Han asked, arching his hand and opening the door, “I want to bring Qin Li to the enlightenment of the One Thought Ten Thousand Swords Technique!”
The Heavy Sword Immortal King carefully sized up Qin Li for a couple of moments and couldn’t help but laugh bashfully, “Is this the kid who solved the book theft case? Truly the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past, and one generation is stronger than the next.”
“Senior Uncle is too kind.”Qin Li said modestly.
“Follow me!”
The Heavy Sword Immortal King didn’t nag and led the way ahead.
Qin Li, Han asked to follow behind.
After making seven turns.
The three of them arrived before a mountain peak.
This mountain peak towered over the mountains, proudly looking down at the mountains, just like a sky-charging sword.
Interestingly, half of this mountain peak had been cut off, forming a smooth mirror-like cut surface that was densely covered with sword marks of varying sizes.
Han asked, “This is a sword cliff!”
The Heavy Sword Immortal King laughed, “The sword marks are the One Thought Ten Thousand Swords Technique!”
Qin Li was greatly surprised, examining the sword marks in detail, he could feel an overpowering sword intent, even after a long time of wind and rain, it still had a murderous aura, an ordinary person would feel their eyes hurting after looking at it for a while longer, and if they kept on staring at the cliff wall, they would most likely go blind.
“Who left this sword mark?”Qin Li asked.
Han asked and replied, “It was left behind by the late Master Uncle Wan Jian.”
At the mention of this name, the Heavy Sword Immortal King’s gaze darkened as he sighed, “The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal King was my master and the most outstanding sword cultivator the academy had ever seen.”
“He expounded on the strengths of a hundred schools of thought, fused over twelve hundred sword techniques, and created the One Thought Ten Thousand Swords Technique, which has since swept across the world with great prowess. It’s a pity that he failed to impact above the Immortal King, and had no choice but to die in body, leaving only this sword wall behind!”
Qin Li secretly smacked his lips, fusing over a thousand sword techniques, how ferocious was this.
No wonder the One Thought Ten Thousand Swords Technique was hailed as the strongest.
“Senior Brother Qin, go and enlighten yourself!”
Han asked, pointing to the small pavilion not far away, “The sword intent contained in the sword marks hurts the spirit, only by sitting in the Sword Enlightenment Pavilion can you not be affected.”
Qin Li took a sideways glance and was shocked.
The pavilion was not large and could only seat a few people, but the material used was actually a sixth grade Soul Nurturing Wood, it was really extravagant, no wonder it could ignore the sword intent damage.
“Many thanks to Senior Brother Han for his guidance!”
Qin Li gave a thank you and flew straight into the Sword Enlightenment Pavilion.
The Heavy Sword Immortal King’s eyes narrowed as he whispered, “Do you think this brat can realise the Sword Skill?”
Han asked indifferently, “Senior Brother Qin is superbly talented, he cultivated into the eighth grade of Immortal Exaltation at less than a hundred years of age, epiphany of the Sword Skill should not be a problem.”
The Heavy Sword Immortal King shook his head, “I think it’s rather up in the air, back then, it took me a whole twenty years to epiphany the Sword Skill, and Qin Li isn’t a sword cultivator, so even if he’s gifted, he’d still have to spend a hundred or two hundred years to epiphany.”
“Let’s see what he makes of it! If it’s really not possible, I’ll take him to the Great Book Depository and choose another Ninth Grade Immortal Technique.”Han asked and turned to leave.
The Heavy Sword Immortal King glanced at Qin Li and left with him.
Beneath the Sword Cliff.
Only Qin Li remained.
“This sword wall, how should I refer to it?”
Qin Li looked at the dense and messy sword marks before him, only feeling his scalp tingle.
The sun sets in the east and the moon rises in the west.
And this sitting was for three days.
He always stared at the sword wall, and finally, he was able to see some of the way.
These complex sword marks were divided into categories that could be categorised into more than 1,200 types, and through the positions of the sword marks, he was able to push out the trajectory of the sword technique backwards.
If he continued to comprehend, he could feel more than a thousand types of sword techniques twisting each other, devouring and fusing.
It was like raising a compulsion, and the compulsion king that survived in the end was the One Thought Ten Thousand Swords Skill that fused the strengths of a hundred schools of thought.
Thus the further one pushed down, the more obscure the sword moves became, making it difficult to be clear.
Early this morning.
A girl came to the quiet Sword Cliff, approaching with a glance at Qin Li, she immediately frowned.
“Who are you and why are you here? Idle people are not allowed to approach the Sword Cliff.”The girl was rather spiteful, and was about to drive people away as soon as she opened her mouth.
Qin Li glanced sideways, it was a pretty youthful girl, wearing a goose-yellow long skirt and carrying a thin sword, very beautiful and cute looking, just not very good in temper.
“I’m Qin Li from the Dan division, Heavy Sword Master Uncle asked me to attend to my enlightenment here.”
The girl froze, then snorted, “Nonsense, how could my father allow someone from the Dan division to come to the Sword Cliff for enlightenment, get out of here, or else I’ll be blamed for being merciless.”
“Love to believe it or not!”Qin Li shook his head, not wanting to bother.
Sniffing!
The girl’s temper came up and she looked at Qin Li with contempt as she angrily rebuked, “Not leaving, are you? Let’s see this young lady teach you a lesson!”
Saying so, the girl drew out her thin sword and struck out a dozen swords in a row, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, to instantly slash Qin Li’s clothes, chopping off quite a few of his long hair in the process.
“Unbelievable!”
Qin Li’s face sank as he displayed his Qi.
The Immortal Lord eighth grade’s aura rippled like a wave, shaking the eight directions.
The girl, who was but an Immortal Lord Ninth Grade, was pushed out horizontally with her sword and fell heavily to the ground, making a mess of the dust.
When the girl fell, she was stunned, and when she reacted, she shouted, “You bullied me!”
The girl was aggrieved, and there were still tears in her eyes, “Don’t think that an Immortal Zun 8th rank can bully people at will, I’ll take this revenge.”
The girl wiped her tears and fled in a negative manner.
Qin Li was speechless.
How can you cry after a fall?
Moreover, it wasn’t him, Qin Li, who made the first move!
Heavy Sword Master Uncle’s daughter was also too delicate, at least she was an Immortal Lord Ninth Grade.
Qin Li shook his head and continued to comprehend the sword technique.
Another three days passed.
He was even further along and had a slight frown.
Feeling carefully, this mountain wind around him was chaotic, but it contained some patterns.
It turned out that once the mountain wind blew through the sword mark, it would be affected by the sword intent, turning into a vortex, turning into a rippling wind …… This is actually the inherent “strength” of the sword technique.
The sword mark was the stance, the wind breath was the internal strength, and the combination of the two was the complete sword technique.
“Finally got started.”
The corner of Qin Li’s mouth grinned, he wasn’t proud as there were still many difficulties ahead.
Following the trajectory left behind by the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal King, he also began to fuse more than one thousand two hundred sword techniques, taking the best and removing the dross, melting them into a single furnace to refine the One Thought Ten Thousand Sword Technique.
He was already fully committed.
Suddenly.
A cacophony of voices came from the distance.
“Senior brothers and sisters, it’s that kid who bullied me!”
