[Sword Qi Also Plays Hide-and-Seek]

"Will I die if I just take a look?" Lu Xun carefully pondered this sentence.

He wouldn't actually die, because he still had two resurrections left, but that's another matter.

As for why Shen Yan thought Lu Xun would die, it wasn't that the Sword Qi would attack him, but that the Sword Qi merely fixing its gaze upon him would be an unbearable weight for his life!

This half-strand of Sword Qi, as the first ring of the Demon Sect's mountain protection array, was no mere decoration.

To be precise, since the Demon Sect's development to this day, all those who had trespassed the array had died in the first ring, and no one had ever broken through this half-strand of Sword Qi.

And this was only half a strand; if it were a complete, upright strand of Sword Qi…

Unthinkable, unthinkable.

"Is Little Martial Uncle ready?" After a while, Shen Yan asked in his hoarse voice.

The sound of his voice really resembled a screaming chicken.

Especially when he was being serious, it sounded like a… very earnest screaming chicken.

Lu Xun nodded after taking a deep breath upon hearing this.

Shen Yan didn't say anything more, merging two fingers together like a finger sword, and then swiped it across Lu Xun's eyes.

Nothing earth-shattering happened; he only felt a sense of detachment, and then the scene before him suddenly changed.

Lu Xun's first feeling was that the sky seemed to have darkened, but with Shen Yan's two fingers swiping like that, it was as if he had torn a crack in the endless night.

He now had to look through this small crack to catch a glimpse of the Sword Qi hidden within Reception Peak!

Everything happened in a flash. He truly saw the Sword Qi, saw that peerless half-strand of Sword Qi!

He found it hard to describe what that scene was like.

If he had to summarize it, it would be: Heaven and Earth as One Sword!

In addition, Lu Xun only caught a fleeting glance, so he didn't see much.

Even so, his mind began to shake.

This half-strand of Sword Qi contained too many things he couldn't understand at his current level; the difference in realms was too great.

What surprised him the most was that in just this instant, he saw the Sword Qi, and the Sword Qi also saw him, and then… the Sword Qi turned its head, suddenly disappeared, and hid itself!

"Boom!" Lu Xun's thoughts retreated like a tide, forcibly pulled back by Shen Yan.

In the air, Lu Xun's body suddenly shook, trembling a few times.

"Is that it?" He was a little confused.

They agreed he would only take a look, but this half-strand of Sword Qi… how did it start playing hide-and-seek?

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss… gets shy.

Lu Xun was completely baffled at this moment.

As for Shen Yan beside him, his complexion wasn't particularly good. It was obvious that guiding Lu Xun to take a look at the Sword Qi had been a great drain on him.

As for the reaction of that half-strand of Sword Qi, he was temporarily unaware.

Shen Yan wiped the fine beads of sweat from his bald head with his sleeve, calmed the True Qi within his body, and asked, "Little Martial Uncle… did you gain anything?"

Whether he comprehended much or little was all Lu Xun's own fortune.

As he asked, he noticed that Lu Xun was a little distracted.

Lu Xun was indeed distracted at this moment, because he was pleasantly surprised to find that even though he had only looked at the Sword Qi once, the game system recognized that he had encountered a great opportunity and rewarded him with a special attribute – [Sword Dao Aptitude +1]!

Tian Chen was such a game, giving you the feeling that you were really in a world of immortals.

Since it was a world of immortals, there were opportunities, fortunes, and one's own – [Comprehension]!

And how would the game convey this to the player?

By increasing special attribute points!

Lu Xun's own mind was still muddled, but the game system judged that he had comprehended something!

Seriously, if you asked him to recall what that half strand of Sword Qi looked like, he couldn't remember.

That glance was too rushed, and this half strand of Sword Qi was too powerful. He even felt like he couldn't look directly at it.

But that mysterious feeling in his heart was still there. He seemed to have really understood something, but he couldn't put it into words.

This was perhaps the so-called—[Grasping the Meaning, Forgetting the Form].

Grasping its meaning, forgetting its form!

Special attribute points increased directly. After [Luck 1], [Comprehension 1], and [Charm 10], there was now [Sword Dao Aptitude 1]!

A cool sensation surged within Lu Xun's body, first passing through his limbs and bones, then flowing into his brow.

Shen Yan saw all of this. With a wave of his right hand, a barrier isolated Lu Xun from the outside world, preventing external interference.

He had just acted on a whim, expending a great deal of effort to allow Little Uncle-Master to glimpse Master's Sword Qi.

However, Master's Sword Qi was too profound. Even he had only comprehended a small portion of its true meaning.

Logically speaking, with Lu Xun's current realm, it should have been difficult for him to gain any insights.

In Earth terms, it was like watching a pro player's smooth gameplay, shouting "Awesome!" but not understanding anything in your head, just thinking, That's so amazing!

But Little Uncle-Master had unexpectedly gained a great opportunity!

"Could it be that Little Uncle-Master is a Sword Dao genius?" Shen Yan thought to himself.

"That's right, perhaps he's the legendary Innate Sword Embryo!"

At this moment, Lu Xun's commotion was a bit too big.

The other Peak Lords of the Demon Sect rushed over one after another. After taking a look at their Little Uncle-Master, they all clicked their tongues in wonder.

"Just one glance, and he comprehended it?" Luo Wanqiu, the Peak Lord of Water Cloud Peak, exclaimed in amazement.

At this moment, Lu Xun could no longer hear their voices, nor could they disturb him.

Sima Chuan, the Peak Lord of Evergreen Peak, was the oldest and the First Senior Brother of everyone present. After circling around Lu Xun, he said, "Only at the second level of the Qi Devouring Art, yet he's already about to take the first step on the Sword Dao. Looking at the entire Tian Chen Continent, which sect or school's young people can do that!?"

After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, which led everyone to laugh heartily together.

On the other hand, Yue Heshan, the Peak Lord of Leap Peak, had the most skewed thought process and couldn't help but say, "With Little Uncle-Master's talent, the Qi Sea he saw that day was at least the size of a great river. Therefore, the bet should be considered my win!"

To still be thinking about the bet at this time, he truly deserved to be called the charity gambling king who always lost. Feeling like he had actually won once, a smile couldn't help but spread across his face.

The most amazing thing was that after he said that, Shen Yan and the Peak Lords' thoughts were actually led astray!

Several old fogeys actually began to discuss intensely in the air. As they discussed, they almost started arguing!

If Shen Yan hadn't used True Qi to envelop Lu Xun, isolating him from the outside noise, he might have been driven to Qi Deviation.

In reality, while these old fogeys were arguing on the surface, their minds were still focused on Lu Xun.

As expected, Lu Xun's body suddenly trembled, and they immediately stopped talking.

In the air, Lu Xun opened his eyes.

In an instant, a semi-transparent ripple spread out from him as the center, like water ripples spreading out.

This spread covered a radius of dozens of miles!

The next moment, a phenomenon of heaven and earth appeared!
