Chapter 037: Hiding the Sword in the Mountain, Watching Will Die
Lu Xun went down the mountain with Shen Yan. He couldn't fly yet, so he used Shen Yan as a taxi.
The main reason why he didn't visit Ji Li during this period was that he couldn't fly. It was just too troublesome, and it was definitely not because a man was ruthless.
Shen Yan was one of the few eighth-level experts on the Tianchen Continent. With a wave of his hand, a stream of air lifted Lu Xun up and flew him to the mountain where the outer disciples lived and practiced.
After flying to a high place , the most conspicuous peak among all the outer mountains is the outermost Jieying Peak.
A few days ago, Lu Xun jumped off that cliff.
It is as bare as Shen Yan. There are no trees on the mountain, not even a weed. It can be said that there is no grass at all.
The platform at the top of the peak looks like it was cut flat by a sword. From a distance, it really looks like a huge scabbard inserted into the earth!
Although it was not the first time he had seen it, Lu Xun was still deeply attracted to it, and marveled in his heart at the uncanny workmanship of this mountain.
Shen Yan saw that Lu Xun's gaze lingered on Jieying Peak for a long time, and couldn't help but ask: "Little Master, do you think Jieying Peak looks a little unique?"
"Yeah." Lu Xun said.
Shen Yan also looked at Jie Yin Peak and said with emotion: "Then, Junior Master, do you know who caused this mountain to become what it is today?"
Lu Xun shook his head and waited for Shen Yan's answer.
"He is the founder of the Demon Sect, sir's eldest disciple, and also my master."
Yes, that’s right, the founder of the Demon Sect is Lu Xun’s senior brother.
In Tianchen Continent, the righteous path is headed by four major sects, while the evil path is headed by three major demonic sects.
Among these seven major sects, four have a long history, but three are different.
They are [One Sword Mountain], [Ten Thousand Swords Mountain], and [Demon Sect] respectively.
The history of "Yijian Mountain" and "Wanjian Mountain" is not long. The reason is very simple, because they were separated from "Jian Mountain", and Jian Mountain is one of the sects with the longest history in the entire Tianchen Continent.
But the Demon Sect is different. Shen Yan is the second generation leader of the Demon Sect, and the position of leader has only been passed down to the second generation.
From the perspective of foundation, the Demon Sect cannot actually be compared with the other six major sects, but from the perspective of the strength of the sect master and sect leaders, the Demon Sect is not much inferior!
From the surface, the sect leader Shen Yan is a powerful person in the eighth realm, and several peak masters are also at the peak of the seventh realm.
Judging from the dark, the other six major sects may still have some hidden powers like the Supreme Elders, but the Demon Sect has Mr.
There is a gentleman...
——That’s enough.
But this period of history also indirectly confirms that... someone as powerful as you are, is actually just a casual cultivator!
It is precisely because the master has no sect or faction that his eldest disciple also has no sect or faction, so he can create the Demon Sect. Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of the original master.
Lu Xun’s senior brother is named Yan Li, whom he has not met yet. In fact, even Mao Nanbei has never seen the senior brother.
The entire Demon Sect knows that the founder of the sect is in seclusion.
The difficulty of [seclusion] can be felt from the literal meaning.
If you take a step forward, you will live; if you don’t, you will die.
Until now, the eldest senior brother has not come out of seclusion.
Looking across the entire Tianchen Continent, there are many people who hope he lives, and there are also many people who hope he dies.
Especially Yijianshan and Wanjianshan, their emotions are particularly complicated.
The reason is simple. As the two most famous sword-cultivating sects in Tianchen Continent, the holy land for sword practitioners was suppressed by a man outside the sect.
The eldest brother practices sword.
A sword unmatched in the world.
If we make a ranking list of all the sword cultivators in the world, then the 2nd to 10th place might all be in One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, but the recognized number one is currently in seclusion in the Demon Sect.
As long as he lives on, he will always be the best swordsman in the world!
Lu Xun couldn't help but take another look at Jieying Peak. When he joined the sect, he had said that this mountain, which looked like a scabbard, gave people a feeling of loneliness!
Being the best in the world means being alone!
Looking at the platform on the top of the mountain at this moment, I inexplicably feel a sense of heroism rising up!
Shen Yan seemed to see Lu Xun's emotions, and smiled and said, "Back then, Master cut the mountain with one sword, and this Jieying Peak still has some of Master's sword energy left. That's why there is no grass growing on this mountain."
“So the foreshadowing is here.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
He really didn't know about this matter. It seemed to be one of the secrets of the Demon Sect.
Shen Yan seemed to be in a good mood today, and continued: "This half of the sword energy hidden in the mountain is actually the first link of my Demon Sect's mountain protection formation."
He pointed to a small hill opposite Jieying Peak and said, "Not many outsiders know this secret, but it's not unknown. Every few years, a few immortal sword cultivators would come to that hill to look at Jieying Peak. Unfortunately, the sword is hidden in the mountain, and most people can't see through it, let alone comprehend it."
Hearing this, Lu Xun glanced at the hillside and wondered, "Why do I feel like that hillside has been cut in half?"
He always felt that the hillside was originally more than this high, and it must have been destroyed by some great practitioner.
"Junior Master, you have a good eye. That mountain... was cut down by me." Shen Yan said.
He raised his bald head slightly and said unhappily, "It's fine if these sword cultivators want to steal my skills, but why are they standing so high up?"
Lu Xun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
This will cut the opposite mountain in half, so those sword cultivators will have to stand on the hillside and look up at the Jieying Peak.
As for flying a sword in mid-air and looking straight ahead or down at Jieying Peak... do you really think that my disciples from the Demon Sect are easy to mess with?
In his previous life, Lu Xun's main character only reached level 60, because level 60 was the top level of the current version at that time, so he was very curious about the strength of the eighth-level strongmen in their eighties, so he asked:
"I really want to know, how many swords did the Sect Master use to cut the mountain?"
Shen Yan said: "It's also a sword."
After he finished speaking, he added: "Although I only used one sword like Master, the difference between my sword and Master's is far. I don't know if I will have the chance to catch up with Master in this lifetime."
"Then can the sect leader see the half-sword energy that the eldest brother hides in Jieying Peak?" Lu Xun asked again.
"That's fine. Whenever you have doubts in your practice, I'll come here to consult." Shen Yan spoke the truth without feeling embarrassed at all.
After saying this, he looked at Lu Xun's fascinated face and asked, "Little Master, do you want to see it?"
Lu Xun nodded. There was nothing to deny.
How could you not want to see the half-way sword energy of the world's number one swordsman?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan said, "I can help Junior Master Uncle with this."
When Lu Xun heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yan said solemnly: "Your own participation and the participation of the guarantor are two different things. I will only let Junior Master take a look, and only Junior Master can take a look. Junior Master, please don't be greedy."
"What would happen if I looked at it ?" Lu Xun asked curiously.
Shen Yan said: "You are observing the sword energy, and the sword energy is also observing you."
This sentence reminded Lu Xun of the sentence "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you."
Shen Yan's next sentence is:
"And if the sword energy looks at you, you will die."
