Auspicious Omens Amidst Misfortune, Character Collapse?
On the high platform, the elders reacted in various ways upon hearing the words "Sword Pellet".
Although none of the elders present possessed Sword Pellet, they were all familiar with it.
It is sharp enough to cut iron like mud, yet flexible enough to wrap around a finger into a ring.
There was once a sage in Sword City who was extremely talented but extremely unlucky. Due to various accidents, he wasted decades in the Inner Breath Realm and had to rebuild his cultivation seven times.
For decades, he never stopped comprehending Swordsmanship. The last time he observed the Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark, he transformed his own Profound Pill into Sword Pellet. Afterward, he observed the Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark as Divine Intent, using Extreme Form to break through the Divine Observation and directly enter the Inner Scene.
That sage was named Wan Wuchang, the previous lord of Cloud-Crossing Sword City, and the Martial Emperor's mentor in swordsmanship.
"Senior Wan's success was the result of years of hard work and gradual accumulation; this kid doesn't seem like it."
"The world is full of wonders. Back then, Senior Wan was incredibly talented, yet he was still only at the age of forty and his Internal Breath. That was unprecedented."
"Everyone has different talents. He can condense Sword Pellet at such a young age, so he must have his own unique skills."
Elder Zeng sighed:
"I've witnessed a great deal of sweat and effort in enabling him to master so many Swordsmanship."
The elders nodded in agreement.
They've seen plenty of extraordinary swordsmanship geniuses, but they're more interested in Little Li.
"That's just his personality, a little flamboyant."
"Heh, I wonder who it is that, at such an advanced age, hides their cultivation level and disguises themselves to participate in the new disciple selection at another sword sect."
"Can a swordsman's actions be called showing off?"
"I'm curious what he'll glean from observing the Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark."
Eighty percent of the martial arts techniques in Cloud-Crossing Sword City originated from that sword mark.
The sword mark was incredibly mysterious; anyone could glean martial arts insights from it.
What each person discovers will be suitable for them, and it doesn't necessarily have to be Swordsmanship.
The higher one's talent, the better the martial arts one can comprehend.
The elders were also quite curious.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Elder Zeng coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back:
"That young man surnamed Li asked Jinghong to deliver a letter to me."
"This concerns the Mountain Rain Approaching Order at the Drizzle Pavilion."
The other elders and deacons immediately became solemn.
The Mountain Rain Approaching Order means that the command is issued directly from the main building.
The management of the Drizzle Pavilion is lax, which is one of the few ways to mobilize manpower.
"Those rats are only after profit, but they act quite secretly. Is the information reliable?" an elder asked.
How could Li Mo know so much about the Drizzle Pavilion?
Elder Zeng paused for a moment, then nodded:
"It even marked two of the Drizzle Pavilion's strongholds, as well as the whereabouts of the Drizzle Pavilion's Saintess."
The elders looked grave.
This is almost certain.
Even the Saintess has come; her intentions must be quite grand. Surely she's not just here for a team-building activity? You're kidding. The biggest characteristic of the Drizzle Pavilion is its ruthlessness; they won't act until they see a clear benefit.
However, the information we have at the moment is still too little.
Everyone had no choice but to look aside.
The woman had a soft golden eye, a serene face, and an air of harmony with nature in her every gesture.
If you're not careful, you might even forget it exists.
"The Heaven Derivation Sect owes Cloud-Crossing Sword City a favor."
The woman finally withdrew her attention from Li Mo, and a flawless Jade Disk floated quietly in front of her:
"With my first divination after descending the mountain, I resolved this karmic debt."
Splash--
The jade pieces on the Jade Disk began to slide rapidly.
Looking at the divination symbols on the Jade Disk, she first frowned, then her brows relaxed.
Elder Zeng, sensing the old Chinese medicine doctor's troubled expression, couldn't help but ask:
"How is your walking?"
After a long pause, he finally spoke softly:
"Turning misfortune into good fortune."
As dusk fell.
Today's Sword Trial Assembly has come to an end.
There were many exciting duels later on, such as Senior Brother Shen Yunfei breaking through his cultivation level in the heat of battle, and Senior Sister Xu Zhiqing further improving her Sword Qi.
Senior Brother Ouyang... Senior Brother Ouyang didn't even make an appearance.
He sketched the latest chapter of "The Overbearing Empress Falls in Love With Me" on the spot and went to the bookstore to have it reprinted.
The book was already hard to find before, and now with the new chapters, it's likely to sell out completely.
After all, the most memorable moment in the martial arts tournament was undoubtedly the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin," a scene that was truly awe-inspiring.
No one has ever used a sword with such grandeur.
It's estimated that this will be a topic of conversation among the people of Yun Province for a long time to come.
"Young Hero Li, you will surely ascend the Sword Tower now."
"I've heard that this Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark was left by an immortal, and it's incredibly mysterious and profound. The higher one's talent, the better the martial arts one can comprehend."
"Hiss... I wonder what kind of earth-shattering martial arts Young Hero Li will glean from this?"
"Hmph, Young Hero Li is the reincarnation of a sword saint! You can't just casually comprehend divine sword techniques, can you?"
"Sword Saint? Sword Immortal!"
"I have exclusive inside information: that Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark could very well have been made by Young Hero Li in his past life with a casual sword strike! I'm telling you this, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else!"
"Hiss! I am known for keeping my mouth shut!"
"Dude, I have some exclusive insider information..."
As is widely known.
People who travel around like to boast, in order to show that their knowledge is different from that of ordinary people.
This led to Little Li not only gaining fame, but also having increasingly outrageous rumors spread about him.
On the carriage.
"Junior Brother Li, I've been sparring all day and plan to find a clinic to get some healing pills, so I won't be going back with you," Shen Yunfei said, lifting the carriage curtain.
"Senior brother, please take care of yourself."
Li Mo smiled, a slight upturn of his lips:
"By the way, how did you know about the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' event at the Martial Dao Summit?"
Shen Yunfei: "..."
It's hard to imagine that this is the same person as the incredibly talented Junior Brother Li from just now.
He chuckled softly:
"When Junior Brother Li comprehends the sword in front of the Cloud-Crossing Sword Mark, he might cause an even bigger commotion."
"Once I'm healed, I'll come and spar with you, Junior Brother."
After Shen Yunfei finished speaking, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and left.
Enlightenment Sword?
Li Mo was taken aback.
Beside her, Ying Bing spoke softly:
"This is also the reason why Cloud-Crossing Sword City has stood the test of time."
"Those who wish to Sword Trial may ascend the Sword Tower; upon reaching the summit, they will be able to witness the sword marks."
"You may take the martial arts techniques you have mastered with you, but please leave a copy in Sword City."
In this way, a genius was able to inherit the affection of Sword City.
They can also use the help of others to comprehend the sword marks.
"Sword Mark Enlightenment..."
Overjoyed, Little Li calmed down and fell into deep thought.
With his talent for swordsmanship, what will he come to understand?
emmmmm
Broken.
I haven't been a swordsman for very long, is my persona about to collapse?
