Chapter 852 - The Peak of Sword Cultivation
At the four-part architecture, a knock on the door could be heard.
“Greetings, Mr. Li. It’s Jiang Liu.”
“Come in.” Xiao Bai opened the door, and Jiang Liu entered the place only after bowing to Xiao Bai.
However, the moment he stepped inside, his body shook suddenly. He felt his whole body being suppressed by an unknown force, causing him to freeze.
The power was not targetted at him, but just like a commoner looking at an immortal, the natural-born fear within caused him to shudder.
Jiang Liu looked over weakly and his eyes widened in shock.
The whole place was plastered with paper with words on all of them. Each word exuded an unending power of Wisdom. Even a simple stroke seemed limitless. It was like a limitless sky, causing anyone to get lost within.
Each of those words was incredibly shocking, but they covered the ground like trash. Quite a few of them even had footprints on them, which caused Jiang Liu’s eyes to twitch.
Li Nianfan coughed softly, saying in embarrassment, “Ahem, I was teaching calligraphy, so it’s a little messy here.”
Lately, Shi Tuqin had been preparing to start writing words on her own.
Li Nianfan helped her every step of the way, and they practiced from the most basic words.
The words on the floor were the most recent results. Since practicing calligraphy required a lot of scrap paper, they were too lazy to clean up, causing the whole place to be filled with paper.
Jiang Liu hurriedly shook his head. “It’s not messy, it’s not messy at all. ”
Was that called a mess? The place was clearly littered with treasure!
He did not even dare to look at those words too much, for he would definitely lose himself if he stared at them too long.
Li Nianfan said curiously, “Jiang Liu, did you come here for something?”
Jiang Liu carefully said, “Mr. Li, I came here to ask for a vacation. I might only be able to return to chop wood for you after a few days.”
“That’s fine, we have more than enough firewood. You should go do whatever you have to.” Li Nianfan said casually.
Jiang Liu really was polite, asking for a vacation for something like that.
After that, Li Nianfan asked curiously, “Could you tell me what you need the days off for?”
Jiang Liu said, “There’s a holy land of sword cultivators that I want to see.”
So, he was leaving for the sake of his future.
Li Nianfan would naturally not stop him. He encouraged, “Ah, it’s like that. Then you should hurry on over and fight for more rewards.” Jiang Liu immediately said, “Thank you for understanding, Mr. Li.”
Li Nianfan said, “What’s there to thank? That’s right, let me ask you this as well, is it easy for you sword cultivators to control swords across thousands of miles with just one shout?” One shout to control tens of thousands of swords?
Easy?
Jiang Liu’s head went numb as he felt himself sweating.
The expert might feel like it was something incredibly easy to do. Perhaps he thought that everyone could do it easily, too.
The strong truly did not understand how weak the weak were……
“That…… It’s actually quite hard to do.”
Jiang Liu said with some embarrassment, “If the swords were ordinary, they would be easy to control, but treasures would be very difficult. Furthermore, if the swords already have their own masters, then you’d first need to defeat the master. With my current skills, it’s almost impossible……”
“That’s quite reasonable.”
Li Nianfan felt like he was incredibly inexperienced. He was just a commoner, so what he knew was naturally very limited.
As they talked, Li Nianfan happened to write some words on a piece of paper.
His brush was as sharp as a blade as he wrote the words, ‘Come, Blade’!
When Jiang Liu say those words, his breath suddenly stopped.
All he felt was tens and thousands of swords rushing right at him. Each of them was a sword that was at a level that was impossible for him to reach. It caused him to freeze in place, and a sense of submission came from deep in his heart!
The sword in his head shook as if it wanted to kneel!
‘Is this the true meaning of summoning a sword? To have thousands of swords submit to you!’
Jiang Liu had goosebumps all over his body. He felt like those two words were enough to overturn every trace of sword cultivation in the world.
Suddenly, that piece of paper moved.
Li Nianfan casually tossed it aside and it fell to the ground……
Jiang Liu was speechless.
The way of the sword shattered.
He could not hold himself back. He took two deep breaths before he summoned up the courage to say, “Mr…… Mr. Li, could you give me that paper?”
“You want a piece of scrap paper?”
Li Nianfan was taken aback, smiling as he said, “You really are a sword fanatic. Is my calligraphy decent?”
Jiang Liu immediately said, “It’s really amazing, perfect!”
Li Nianfan laughed out loud, waving as he said, “Take it if you want, there’s no need to be polite.”
“Yes, thank you, Mr. Li.” Jiang Liu was elated.
He hurriedly paid his respects before earnestly picking up the piece of paper, keeping it carefully.
After that, he bid farewell and left the place.
As he exited, he looked at the paper in his hand and felt his body being completely drenched in a cold sweat.
As for his sword, it was still shaking.
Xiao Chengfeng asked curiously, “Jiang Liu, what happened?”
Jiang Liu said, a little dumbfounded, “I’ve seen the peak of sword cultivation!”
“The peak of sword cultivation?” Xiao Chengfeng widened his eyes in shock as he guessed a possibility in his heart.
The next moment, he saw the piece of paper in Jiang Liu’s hand. He jumped in fright as his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“This……this……this is……”
His voice shook as he carefully pointed at the paper, “The…… The expert gave this to you?”
“The expert wrote it.”
Jiang Liu nodded as he said, “When can I reach those heights that the expert was talking about.’
“What heights? What did the expert teach you? ‘
Xiao Chengfeng was almost pulling his hair out in anxiety as he said, “Jiang Liu, my good brother, can you please open up this piece of paper. I want to expand my horizons, too!”
Jiang Liu shook his head and said, “I can’t open this. No one can withstand the Wisdom within!’
In the four-part architecture, the power was suppressed. Out of it, however, the paper would absolutely turn the world upside down!
Xiao Chengfeng was green with envy, sourly saying, “The expert treats you so well, I’m crying with jealousy.”
After pausing, he said, “The expert gave you this paper, what else did he say?”
Jiang Liu thought for a moment before shaking his head. “No, he merely encouraged me, asking me to get more rewards.”
“How could that be a no?”
Xiao Chengfeng slapped his head, saying unwillingly, “You’re really dumb. Why does the expert like you? I should be the woodcutter!” Jiang Liu had a stunned look. ‘I IS there some sort of problem?”
Xiao Chengfeng said, “It’s a big problem! The expert already said it outright. He was asking you to get more rewards, are you really not going to do anything about that? There’s definitely something at the Divine Sword Mountain that he wants us to get!”
Jiang Liu had a look of realization. “So that’s the case, why didn’t I think of that? Brother Xiao, you really are smart.”
Xiao Chengfeng said with a tired heart, “Alright, alright, let’s hurry up and see what’s at the Divine Sword Mountain.”.
