Chapter 434: Unraveling the Sword
"What kind of bamboo is this, so tough. Seeing this, Lu Yuqing said with some surprise.
"It should belong to the category of purple essence bamboo, which is one of the most tenacious existences in the genus of wood plants in the world. Han Li said with a deep groan.
As he spoke, he continued to walk, walked up the steps of the bamboo house, pushed open the bamboo door, and walked in.
The furnishings in the bamboo hut are very simple, with only one bamboo table of eight immortals in the outhouse surrounded by four benches, and only seven bamboo beds for single people in the inner room.
"Brother Han, look, these beds are narrow and small, how do they look like they are for children?" Lu Yuqing said with a slight frown after looking around.
"According to legend, the Wusheng Sword Sect recruits disciples extremely strictly, never opening the mountain gate to recruit a large number of people, but by the disciples on the mountain traveling down the mountain, searching for the world's first-class sword cultivation embryos, bringing them back to the mountain to cultivate from an early age, everything depends on chance, never forced. This is probably the place where those disciples practiced their basic skills when they were young. Han Li thought for a moment and said.
"I see, I once happened to see the deeds of this sect in an ancient book, as if it said that the number of people in this sect is very scarce, and they rarely move around, so it is very mysterious. I don't know about the rest. Lu Yuqing said thoughtfully.
"If a disciple of this sect wants to walk down the mountain as a master, he must cultivate to the Golden Immortal Cultivation, otherwise he can only die in the mountain gate for the rest of his life. At its peak, there was a beautiful talk of 'one door and seven golden immortals, traveling down the mountain together' that spread in the world. However, time has passed, and not many people know about these things anymore. Han Li glanced at the blue and purple bamboo forest covered with mottled sword marks outside the bamboo building and said slowly.
"Brother Han, how do you know about these things?" Lu Yuqing blinked her eyes and asked with some doubts.
"Speaking of which, I am also a sword cultivator, so I will naturally notice these when I consult ancient books. There are many legends about the Lifeless Sword Sect, and one of the most eye-catching is the Lifeless Sword Sea inside their gate. Han Li continued.
"Lifeless Sword Sea...... What's that?" Lu Yuqing asked, an expression of interest on her face.
Han Li's eyes flashed slightly, and as he walked outside the bamboo building, he said:
"It is said that the founder of the Wusheng Sword Sect, the founder of the Wusheng Sword Sect, has a habit of accumulating swords, whether it is a battle of life and death, or a high and low competition, after winning, the opponent's flying sword will be taken away and brought back to the mountain gate sword pool for preservation. Later, when they accepted disciples and passed them on, they also inherited this tradition. When the descendants of his disciples walk in the fairy realm, they will also search for swords all over the world and bring them back to the sect. Over time, the Lifeless Sword Pool will become the Lifeless Sword Sea......"
Out of this bamboo forest, the two continued to walk up the winding mountain road, and finally stopped in front of a stone staircase that reached the sky.
The stone staircase is snow-white and not high, and it extends upwards into the sea of clouds above the mountainside.
On the left side of its entrance, there is a black boulder engraved with three ancient seals "Sword Solving Stone".
Han Li stepped forward and took a closer look, and found that under the three words "Sword Solving Stone", there were two lines of small white characters engraved on it, which read:
"The true immortal bends his waist and does not fly, and the ten thousand swords in the world bow his eyebrows"
Every word carries an indescribable heroic aura, as if every stroke is composed of a sword qi, and after the word is written, it wants to come out of the stone, and the edge is fully displayed, and the previous door "Lifeless Sword Sect" is obviously from the same person's hand.
"This former sentence is to say that the true immortals can't fly in the air here, I can understand it, but what the latter sentence means, I see that I am a little confused. Lu Yuqing stood aside and muttered to herself.
"The Lifeless Sword Sect is originally a holy place for sword cultivation, how many immortal swords are stored in the sword sea inside the door? But this sword stone ...... Solve the sword......" Han Li thought for a moment and said.
As soon as his words fell, a loud earthquake suddenly sounded from the sea of clouds above his head, and a golden halo of light rippled out from the sea of clouds and spread in all directions.
Hearing this, Han Li's gaze suddenly tightened, and he raised his head to look in the direction of the peak.
"What's the matter, Brother Han?" Seeing this, Lu Yuqing knew that something had changed, and hurriedly asked.
"There seems to be some kind of prohibition on this sea of clouds, and my induction with the Natal Flying Sword has been interrupted again......" Han Li frowned and whispered.
With that, he turned his body around, and stepped lightly on the first stone step on his toes, and his body almost touched the slope of the stone staircase, and swept straight up, crossing hundreds of steps at once.
Seeing this, Lu Yuqing also concocted the same method and followed him and flew up.
The more the stone stairs went up to the top of the mountain, the more humid the way became, and by the time they swept upwards for hundreds of feet, the heavy water vapor around them had condensed into a cloud of mist, enveloping the entire surroundings.
The figures of the two walked through the sea of clouds, mountains and fog, and the range of visual vision was very limited, and the divine sense seemed to be greatly hindered.
"There's something wrong with this fog, my eyes can't see through it, you should be careful. Han Li gave an order, and then released a layer of protective blue light outside his body, speeding up towards the top.
Lu Yuqing followed closely behind him, his eyes flashed with a deep light, his expression suddenly changed, and he reminded loudly: "Brother Han, be careful......"
As a result, before her words fell, in the dense fog above Han Li's head, two golden sword lights intertwined with each other, slashing down from above like scissors.
Han Li's gaze froze, and he could clearly see that the owners of the sword light were actually two tall wooden puppets with slender limbs.
Under the electric thought in his heart, his body did not retreat but advanced, and when there was no room for it, he slid under the two sword lights and jumped directly over.
After standing firmly, his figure turned around, and he waved his five fingers together, and a layer of cyan light immediately poured out of his palm, slashing towards the puppet like a cyan long knife.
I saw that the two puppets did not move, and their heads suddenly turned back one hundred and eighty degrees, and they strangely faced Han Li.
At the same time, the joints of his sword-holding hand also turned at the same time, and the long sword in one of his hands blocked Han Li's hand with a "bang", while the other stabbed him with his sword, piercing his heart.
Han stood on the sharp ground, and his figure hurriedly retreated to the top of the stone staircase, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
The two puppets had no breath on their bodies, and they couldn't tell what level it was, but the long sword in their hands was really tight, and the layer of golden light wrapped in it could shatter the blue light blade in his hand with a single blow.
Immediately after, several sword lights suddenly appeared above his head, intertwined into a golden sword net, and slashed down towards him.
Han Li raised his fist and slammed it upwards.
A blue light burst out from the end of the fist, colliding with the golden sword net, and the blue light of the fist shadow was cut straight away.
Han Li's heart moved, and his palm waved again.
A black light swirled out of his sleeve, and in a twist, it came above his head.
I saw that the whirling black light suddenly exploded, instantly enlarged, and turned into a black real wheel with a square circle, blocking the top of his head like a grinding plate.
The golden sword net slashed down, seemingly powerful, but when it came into contact with the black light on the heavy water true wheel, it suddenly fell into flames like ice and snow, and instantly dissolved.
At this moment, around Han Li, five sword lights flashed, and out of thin air, five more wooden puppets appeared that were the same as in the previous scene.
As soon as these five puppets appeared, the two wooden puppets that appeared before had already rushed up from behind, and with the long sword in their hands, they stabbed straight towards Han Li.
However, before the tips of their swords could be handed over, two cyan whirlwinds chased after them from below, enveloping them and pulling them downward.
Han Li looked over, only to see that it was Lu Yuqing holding a brilliant cyan feather fan, dancing, setting off gusts of green wind and trapping them.
His eyes flashed slightly, and with a wave of his palm, he waved forward.
The heavy water chakra above his head immediately roared loudly, and it swirled towards the puppet in front of it.
The puppet was not slow to react, one hand seemed to pinch a sword trick, and the other hand held the long sword and stabbed down.
Above the blade of the sword in his hand, a golden light appeared, and a huge golden sword shadow burst out from it, slamming into the heavy water true wheel.
"Boom" with a shocking bang!
The golden sword shadow did not have any room to turn, and directly turned into a piece of golden dust, while the body of the sword-wielding puppet was also swallowed by the black light that came out of the shock from the heavy water true wheel, and was crushed into smithereens.
After devouring the second-layer heavy water, the power of the heavy water true wheel is no longer the same as in the past.
Seeing this, the other four sword-wielding puppets around them turned their heads stiffly towards Han Li, a strange rune at the center of their eyebrows lit up with golden light at the same time, and they pinched out a strange sword trick with one hand, and the tip of the sword slammed into the sky.
Han Li frowned, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, above the clouds that enveloped the two of them, bursts of vague light lit up, flickering like a thunderous rolling sky before a rainstorm fell.
"Miss Lu, come here......" he hurriedly greeted.
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing did not hesitate, and with a wave of the feather fan in his hand, he sent out two whirlwinds, separating the two puppets, and with a flash of his figure, he came to Han Li's side.
She had just entered the underside of the Heavy Water True Wheel when an earth-shattering roar sounded in the clouds.
A dazzling golden light poured down from the depths of the clouds and mist, and what was wrapped inside was a dense golden sword light, exactly the same as what Han Lifei had encountered when he went up the mountain before.
If it is said that the Yunhai Sword Formation encountered at the foot of the mountain before was just to subdue the Quartet, and the True Immortal forcibly controlled the sky, then the golden sword array here was purely for the purpose of killing the enemy, so the sharp qi contained in the sword light here was far greater than before.
Not only that, but in the sword light that fell at this time, there seemed to be some fluctuations in the power of the metallic law, so Han Li didn't dare to take it lightly and summoned Lu Yuqing back in advance.
