Back to the first mountain.
Qin Li sat reclining on top of a green rock.
Beside him was a pile of books, all of which were rare and precious arts.
“How did you get so many books?”Beneath the pine tree, Old Man Nameless was slightly surprised.
Qin Li didn’t hide it and explained, “I met a pale-robed young man, also calling himself Nameless, in the eighth book storehouse. He is a very good person and designated me to take so many books.”
“This is your chance.”
The nameless old man smiled without saying anything; he seemed to know something but didn’t say anything.
Qin Li continued to delve into the books and read through them, taking in the lives of more than a hundred Sword Dao Patriarchs.
They were all warriors, resolutely charging towards the sublime Sword Dao fantasy, but unfortunately, they were only moths to the flame, leaving behind a trail of ashes, all recorded in the scroll. A great deal of conjecture was provided in them, desiring to construct the strongest sword technique, but unfortunately failing.
Qin Li saw a Nirvana ninth level sword dao wizard, deducing a move similar to the One Sword Breaking Momentum, but unfortunately it could only break the sword and died with regret. There were also other ghost geniuses that created sword techniques with their own focus, breaking swords, breaking guns, and breaking spells ……
The most marvellous is the canon, it was provided by a Feng Tianshi, he was a sword cultivator, but was proficient in formations, and presumed to break the mystery with one sword, so he studied the place to break the formation with one sword, but unfortunately, there was no context behind it, and he should have been buried somewhere in the mystery.
Qin Li learnt the remnants of the moves, and quickly learnt them, in total there were only a few dozen moves, and a large number of repetitions, systematically sorted out, together with the One Sword Breaking Formation, there were only twelve moves, symbolising twelve ideas, twelve directions.
“Headache!”
Qin Li rubbed his temples.
Previously, building a car behind closed doors was circling around in a dead end, nowadays, Bojia Cai is twelve dead end roads circling around.
As soon as there were more roads, it naturally became a labyrinth, no matter how it was deduced, it was all a veiled mist, unable to see the direction. But Qin Li vaguely felt touching the origin of the answer, he had used a sword to break all the laws, and remembered that subtle feeling, mysterious and mysterious, difficult to describe.
Puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Qin Li went off the deep end, but didn’t stop.
Taking a deep breath and starting over, he went off the deep end again, and the cycle repeated itself.
For three whole days, Qin Li didn’t know how many times he had freaked out, his face pale and shrivelled, as if he was seriously ill, with only a pair of eyes flickering with light.
“Damn it, there must be a viable method, I feel close!”Qin Li was almost frantic, he had repeatedly asked his senior brother for advice, but the nameless old man couldn’t give much help either. He was like a lone walker, walking an impossible path with the corpses of his predecessors lying around his feet.
Rumble!
The wind and clouds were sudden and dark.
Today was not a good day, just as bad as Qin Li’s mood.
The sun and the moon were obscured, the sky was dark, the first mountain was plunged into a void, everything was mute, except for the thunder flashes that tore through the clouds, listing the lack as a scar and rumbling.
“Annoying!”
Qin Li was being bitter, looking at everything.
He stepped on the void, itching to tear apart the roiling clouds, but he saw thunder and lightning.
In the dimness, a bit of bright light appeared, transforming into a thunder scar, curving and growing and spreading, like a dragon or a snake, and also branching out into many branches and forks, with the branches resurfacing into branches, forming a unique beauty. Like a thunder dragon probing claws, like jade breaking, with leaf veins forked ……
“This!”
Qin Li’s eyes snapped.
Inexplicably, a spiritual light appeared.
Like a ray of thunder, it splits the heavenly aura and strikes through the Nine Spectral Springs.
“Right! I can be like this ah! I see, so this is the true meaning of one sword breaking all laws. One sword gives birth to ten thousand laws, and ten thousand laws return to one sword!”
Qin Li had an epiphany in his thunder, instantly sorting out cause and effect, constructing a dharma that took in a hundred schools of thought and blended them into one.
In the dantian, the Innate Sword Dao Seed trembled slightly, and the remnants of the Dao pattern began to grow, although it was still unable to be perfected, it signalled that Qin Li was on the right path, and was being recognised.
“Brother, I heard that loser’s voice, he should be just ahead.”
Suddenly!
A voice came.
In the distance, a dozen cultivators flew in.
All of them were great experts at the third level of the Celestial Rear, and the leader was even at the ninth level of the Celestial Race.
Zhang Zifan pointed at Qin Li and called out, “Brother, he’s Dokgo Wufei, the guy who took my spot.”
“A weak fellow.”That Celestial Nine was a lanky cultivator, somewhat similar to Zhang Zifan, carrying a large sword, with a waist token engraved with the word “Punishment”, which surprisingly sensed with Qin Li’s disciple token, and it was because of this reason that they were able to find Shushan.
“What, want to avenge your brother?”Qin Li swallows a precious elixir to recover from the mental damage, and is once again in high spirits, ready for a great battle.
“You’re overthinking it! To introduce myself, my name is Zhang Tian Ji, a member of the Punishment Palace, specialising in punishing evil and upholding the rules.”Zhang Tian Ji was extremely arrogant, almost as if he was looking at people through his nostrils.
“Then what is the matter you seek me for?”Qin Li’s heart sank, he had heard of the Palace of Punishment, it was an existence alongside the Hall of Contributions, above the 108 peaks, with great all-out power, only the most elite disciples could join.
“Of course it is to expel you from the Dao Palace!”
Zhang Tianji sneered.
Qin Li’s face changed: “Even if the Palace of Punishment, no cannot abuse its power!”
“Don’t throw your hat in the ring, the order to expel you was decided by the elders. You have a bad character, ignoring discipline, oppressing fellow disciples, and most crucially, your qualifications are not up to standard, a waste of talent, do you really think that you can be initiated through the back door?”Zhang Tian Ji mockingly smiled and casually threw out a piece of green paper.
A thin piece of paper that surpassed ten thousand pounds, bearing the word mark of punishment and exuding the aura of Nirvana. Automatically tracking Qin Li, it floated above his head, igniting itself without fire and blossoming with eight large, glowing green characters-
Low qualification, insufficient inheritance!
This was a humiliation.
Qin Li’s face was cold, understanding Jade Dust Son’s petty calculations.
When he had initially entered, he had indeed taken the back door, a fact that could not be ignored, and so had fallen foul of the situation. For the sake of the Fallen Moon Journey’s reputation, Jade Dust Zi’s sudden outburst was to protect Zhang Zifan.
“Dugu Wufei, you have one day to pack your bags and leave the Dao Sect, if you stay for one more moment, we will use the Penalty Squad and forcefully expel you.”Zhang Tian Ji Forest smiled and left with a group of cultivators.
“Tsk tsk, with your behaviour, you’re worthy of grabbing a place with me!”Zhang Zifan seemed like a cock that had won a fight, holding his neck high and dejected.
The uninvited guest left.
Qin Li’s eyes flickered as he pondered his countermeasures.
“You’re in big trouble!”Nameless Elder said indifferently, “The Punishment Palace is extremely powerful, even if you win against Zhang Tianji, you won’t be able to win against one of the Supreme Elders!”
Qin Li pondered for a long time, and finally looked at the humiliating eight characters above his head, and couldn’t help but grin, “If you want to resist the Penalty Palace’s judgement, you must make a big deal out of it, because justice lies in the hearts of the people.”
Saying that!
Qin Li hugged his sword and left.
Not long after, he arrived at the Stinging Peak.
As soon as he landed, the eight green characters above his head blazed with light, extremely eye-catching.
This sight could draw the attention of a large number of disciples, “That person is so strange! There are also large characters on top of his head, so dazzling!”
“That’s the Punishment Palace’s Sin Seal, only tortured disciples will have it, it’s the equivalent of a tattoo on the face of an exiled prisoner in a mundane kingdom, it’s a disgrace.”An old cultivator narrated.
A few freshly initiated disciples exclaimed, “Isn’t this Dokgo Wufei? He came in through the back door and has finally been caught, it seems like it won’t be long before he’s expelled from the door wall.”
“Strange, he’s so calm! And is heading to the Nine Tribulation Peach God Tree!”A Stinging Peak disciple noticed the abnormality.
The crowd found it odd and followed.
Qin Li was completely unconcerned.
Soon!
He reached his destination.
Ahead, on top of the cliff face, was a gigantic Peach God Tree.
The tree trunk was thick and dark, a thousand feet tall, growing purple lightning patterns, with lush branches and peach leaves that were emerald green and crystalline, an extremely precious medicine. There were also dozens of thunder peaches hanging on it, just like lanterns, flowing with thunder pulp and medicinal fragrance.
This tree was the jewel of Stinging Peak, and if one got closer, one could even hear the sound of a pounding heartbeat, and a deity seemed to be conceived in the trunk. And underneath the peach tree was a huge platform where a large number of Stinging disciples cultivated.
“Outer peak disciples, do not approach!”
A group of Stinging disciples rose and coldly looked at the approaching Qin Li.
With the Thunder Sword at his waist, Qin Li landed on the platform and smiled, “I have come here to bring a message to all of you Daoists.”
“You punk, you’ve been expelled from the Penalty Palace, and you still dare to come to our Stinging Peak, let go if you have a fart, otherwise don’t blame us for being impolite.”The Sting disciples were already short-tempered, and there were others who drew out their swords and pointed at Qin Li.
Qin Li calmly said, “My message is simple, it is that as determined by the Penalty Palace, everyone present is not even as good as trash, there is no need to stay in the Natural Dao Sect.”
“What did you say!”
The Stinging Peak disciples exploded.
Not to mention them, even the cultivators who had followed them over to watch the show were annoyed on the spot.
“A backdoor waste who dares to be so arrogant, believe it or not, I’ll give you a little colour to show you the difference between a genius and a waste.”
Clang!
A sword roared.
Qin Li drew his sword and pointed it straight at the crowd:
“No need for much nonsense, have the guts to come forward and fight!”
“No matter who it is, I will only make one sword strike, if I make a second sword strike, this top-grade magic treasure in my hand will belong to the other party.”
The moment these words came out!
The heartbeat of the surrounding spectators accelerated.
How precious was a top-grade magic treasure, moreover, it was a thunder sword, which was worth a lot of money.
“I’ll come to curry favour with you!”
“You step back, I’ll fight him!”
“Scram, that Thunder Sword was the one I saw first, all cool off to the side.”
A dozen or so disciples leapt out, pushing and shoving each other, swords drawn. They all wanted to be the first to challenge, so they all attacked forcefully, causing a dozen or so of them to make moves at the same time, various colours of sword qi erupting out in a multitude of colours, sweeping like a tidal wave.
“Battle World!”
Qin Li slashed out his sword in the air.
The ferocious domineering aura mixed with thunder, tearing through the various coloured sword lights and sweeping the entire field.
A dozen or so Dao Peak disciples were surprisingly without a single opponent, all of them swept out, even spreading to the surrounding crowd of disciples who were watching the show, scaring them into retreating.
“How is it possible, those are all Heavenly Human 4th or 5th level senior brothers and sisters, they are strong, a dozen of them joining hands, all of them couldn’t last more than a single sword!”Everyone’s eyes showed horror, as if they were doused with a pot of cold water, extinguishing their thoughts of seizing the Thunder Sword.
Qin Li, however, shook his head and helplessly said, “Ordinary disciples are too weak, they don’t even have the qualifications to let me draw my sword, it seems that the challenge will have to add a restriction, it must be a candidate for the Fallen Moon Journey, otherwise all will be ignored.”
At those words!
The crowd was petrified on the spot.
These words were arrogant and haughty to the extreme.
The dozen or so challenging disciples, their faces were bashful and red, itching to hide in the ground.
“Enough!”
An explosive shout came.
Under the Nine Heavens Peach God Tree, amongst the crowd of shocked disciples.
A strong man killed out, with a burly figure, wrapped in thunder and lightning, and holding a large sword.
“Our Sting Peak, it’s not the turn of a punk to clamour here again!”
“One of my swords is enough to seriously injure you!”
Rumble!
The burly disciple slashed out with his sword.
Thunderous sounds swirled and heavenly thunder stormed out, transforming into a five-clawed flying dragon.
The thousand-foot thunder dragon carried out the saber intent, roaring into the sky, eight-faced, suddenly piercing down, killing gods and ghosts, and storming.
“Transformation Blade Momentum!”
Qin Li finally took it seriously.
This move was the result of his painstaking research and the collection of a hundred schools of thought.
As soon as the sword came out, the sword dipper cascaded into a vortex and swept down, containing the most yin and soft strength, dissolving the berserk saber intent and calming down the turbulent thunder, the thousand-foot thunder dragon had already collapsed before it could kill in front of his eyes.
“What!”The burly disciple was shocked, his strongest move, was dissolved by the other party’s sword, like the spring breeze dissolving the ice and snow, the unceasing strength attacked, almost tearing himself apart, but the other party obviously withdrew his hand, not much damage was done.
“Understood!”
Qin Li withdrew his sword into his sheath and entered calmly.
“I lost!”The burly disciple spoke with difficulty, his face burning.
A moment ago, he had spoken loudly and presumptuously attempted to kill Qin Li in seconds, only to be defeated with a single stroke of the sword, and if he hadn’t been merciful, he might have already died on the spot.
This scene deeply irritated the surrounding crowd, especially the Stinging disciple, feeling deep shame and horror: “Damn it, running to slash our Stinging Peak’s face, this won’t be understood.”
Immediately afterwards!
A number of Stinging Peak disciples struck out.
There were seven Fallen Moon slots among them, and Qin Li merely struck out with seven swords.
These senior brothers and sisters of the Stinging Peak were all heroes among men, and as a result, they were defeated miserably one after another, failing to receive a single sword, causing the eyes of the crowd of spectators to glaze over, and then looking at the insulting eight characters on top of Qin Li’s head, a great irony.
“Thus farewell!”
After Qin Li’s eight victories, he prepared to leave.
“Wait!”The burly disciple from earlier looked indignant:
“Dokgo Wufei, our Stinging Peak has no grudges or enmity with you, why are you making a special trip to our door and trampling on our Dao Peak’s face.”
Qin Li stood with his sword in his arms, his bones standing tall and proud: “It’s just a sparring match, there’s no insult meant. Moreover, Stinging Peak is only my starting point, and all the other Dao peaks, I will challenge all the way to the past to prove my own sword technique!”
Cloudy and light sentence, fell in the ears of the crowd, speechless thunderbolt explosion.
Everyone sucked in cool air.
The burly disciple swallowed his saliva, shocked:
“This is to whip the faces of the Great Dao Peaks, why are you doing this?”
Qin Li looked up at the eight green characters and smiled playfully, “The Penalty Palace doesn’t distinguish between right and wrong and insulted my eight characters, so I’ll return them to him!”
“Those eight characters?”All the spectators couldn’t help but ask a follow-up question.
Clang!
The longsword came out of its sheath.
Thunder roared as the sword slashed out.
The cliff crumbled the earth and rocks, carving eight ancient words.
Invincible at the same level! One Sword Flying Immortal!
