Displaying Sword Technique

"Crackling!"

Large amounts of碎石 continued to fall from the mountain.

Li Yanshan stared at the giant stone blocking the main road, his expression changing slightly. "That looks like the big stone from the mountaintop!"

"Let's go take a look!"

Elder Yun, leaning on his cane, slowly walked towards the giant stone. Li Yanshan followed behind Elder Yun and arrived beside the large stone.

Upon closer inspection, Elder Yun and Li Yanshan were completely certain that this giant stone was the one from the mountaintop, the one inscribed with the inheritance sword technique of True Monarch Liuyun. However, only half of the giant stone remained.

Elder Yun frowned slightly and said, "The other half must have fallen into the pond just now. Why did this stone suddenly crack open for no reason? And fall down the mountain?"

Li Yanshan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that kid Fang Chen did this?"

Elder Yun snorted, "Could that kid split this stone open?"

Li Yanshan shook his head slightly. Not to mention Fang Chen, even he himself didn't have the strength to split this stone.

Elder Yun said to Li Yanshan, "Go up the mountain and see what's going on!"

"Okay!"

Li Yanshan nodded, preparing to go up the mountain to check the specific situation.

Just then, he spotted a figure rushing down the mountain. "It's that kid Fang Chen!"

Elder Yun also looked up, his gaze falling on Fang Chen. His eyes narrowed slightly. "This kid's footwork is light and agile, and his speed is very fast. His Misty Turtle Step has reached a level beyond both of ours!"

"Mhm!"

Li Yanshan nodded lightly. He had already known this.

A moment later, Fang Chen finally reached the foot of the mountain. He saw the wet ground and the fish leaping everywhere, and his face immediately showed surprise. He asked, "Uncle Li, Elder Yun, why are there so many fish on the ground?"

Li Yanshan's expression turned grim, and he said coldly, "I was about to ask you! A large stone fell into the pond below just now, splashing these fish out. If Elder Yun and I hadn't reacted quickly, we would have been smashed to death by this stone!"

Elder Yun looked at Fang Chen and asked, "Fang Chen, what exactly is going on?"

Fang Chen didn't answer Elder Yun directly. Instead, he picked up a branch from the ground and said to Elder Yun and Li Yanshan, "Uncle Li, Elder Yun, look!"

After speaking, Fang Chen held the branch and began to demonstrate the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique in front of them.

The entire Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was performed with the fluidity of flowing clouds and water, leaving Li Yanshan and Elder Yun dumbfounded.

"What sword technique is this?"

Li Yanshan stared at Fang Chen, his face filled with disbelief. Although Fang Chen had not used True Qi while demonstrating the sword technique, they could tell that this set of sword techniques was immensely powerful.

Fang Chen immediately replied, "This is the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique!"

"Flowing Cloud Sword Technique?"

Li Yanshan and Elder Yun's eyes widened. Although they knew that the inheritance on the mountaintop stone was left by True Monarch Liuyun, and thus the sword technique was also called the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique by everyone.

However, neither Li Yanshan nor Elder Yun could understand the sword manual on it, so they didn't know what the true Flowing Cloud Sword Technique looked like when performed.

The sword technique Fang Chen displayed just now was graceful and agile, like flowing clouds and water, yet it contained hidden killing intent and immense power. Since Fang Chen said this was the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, it was likely correct.

Almost all the Outer Sect Disciples of Azure Cloud Peak knew that there was an inheritance sword technique left by a True Monarch expert on Dog Head Ridge.

Dog Head Ridge was once one of the main inner sect peaks of Azure Cloud Peak, as it contained the inheritance of a True Monarch expert. However, in the past few thousand years, no one had been able to successfully cultivate the inheritance sword technique there. Coupled with the depletion of the spiritual veins on Dog Head Ridge, the former main inner sect peak had fallen to its current state, not even comparable to ordinary outer sect mountain peaks.

Now, someone had finally successfully cultivated the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and this person was a kid without a Spiritual Root.

Li Yanshan and Elder Yun couldn't believe what they were seeing.

After a long while, the two finally came to their senses. Elder Yun asked Fang Chen, "Fang Chen, what's going on with this giant stone?"

Fang Chen thought for a moment, then said, "It's like this. When I was cultivating on the mountaintop just now, mysterious cyan runes suddenly appeared on the surface of this stone, and then the surrounding spiritual energy converged towards the stone. Finally, the stone suddenly cracked..."

Fang Chen did not mention the process of him chopping the stone with the Floating Immortal Sword.

After listening, Li Yanshan and Elder Yun couldn't help but frown. This matter seemed too bizarre to them.

However, when they thought about how Fang Chen could even master the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, there was nothing surprising about this matter.

Li Yanshan looked at Fang Chen, his eyes immediately becoming strange. At this moment, Fang Chen was like a monster in his eyes. This guy had just cultivated the Misty Turtle Step to the Great Accomplishment realm yesterday, and today he had mastered the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he were killed.

"What a pity, he doesn't have a Spiritual Root!"

Li Yanshan thought to himself. Fang Chen's comprehension was heaven-defying, but the lack of a Spiritual Root was Fang Chen's fatal flaw, as it meant his cultivation speed would be very slow.

Just then, five streams of rainbow light whistled towards Dog Head Ridge. The arrivals were five Enforcement Hall disciples flying on their swords.

They had been patrolling nearby when they heard the huge commotion from Dog Head Ridge and immediately rushed over to investigate.

These five Enforcement Hall disciples were stunned when they saw the giant stone that had fallen onto the road. The patrol team leader immediately asked Elder Yun and Li Yanshan, "What's going on?"

Elder Yun immediately said, "We don't know what's going on either. Just now, this stone fell from the mountaintop, with one piece smashing onto the ground and the other falling into the pond!"

As he spoke, Elder Yun pointed towards the large pond below the big elm tree.

The Enforcement Hall captain, with a grim expression, said to his subordinates, "Go and inspect it!"

"Yes!"

The four disciples immediately nodded. Two of them walked towards the large stone pressing on the road, while the other two went towards the pond. Upon reaching the pond, they immediately saw the large stone. Only about a third of the stone was exposed above the water. The water in the pond was turbid, and there were many fish floating on their backs.

They did not enter the water. They just glanced at the large stone from the edge of the pond and left.

The other two Enforcement Hall disciples walked around the large stone that had fallen on the road and then returned to the captain to report what they had seen.

The Enforcement Hall captain, with a grim expression, said to his four lackeys, "Let's go up the mountain to take a look!"

After speaking, he flew towards the mountaintop on his sword, and his four lackeys immediately followed him on their swords.
