Free Web NovelChapter 659: Chapter 353: Countless Heroes, Heavy Pupils Emerge, Frail Sword Bone—How Dare We Compare
Chu Liu Qing watched Wen Caishang’s silhouette, remarking solemnly, "This lady has a remarkably broad vision!" Secretly admiring her. Shan Guyun also felt a moment of apprehension.
A gentle sigh echoed, "Even the Heavy Pupils are visible, gently grinding at the heart. The vast river flows, history stretches on. Sword heart seems fragile, sword bone more common, how dare one claim invincibility."
The voice was clear and serene, yet contained profound mystery. Shan Guyun stepped back repeatedly, his spirit greatly diminished. Chu Liu Qing heard ’Even the Heavy Pupils are visible,’ and was extremely astonished. Wished to inquire, but her presence had already vanished.
The hall was extremely quiet. Chu Liu Qing pondered continually, "What did that lady mean by ’the Heavy Pupils are visible’? Was it a casual remark, or had she indeed seen them? If truly witnessed, could the Heavy Pupils really have emerged?" She spoke gravely, "Eat and drink enough, then let’s continue on our journey! It’s not appropriate to linger here; that woman is exceedingly mysterious."
Shan Guyun nodded, his gaze clouded, also unwilling to stay for long.

Meanwhile on the other side.
Li Xian, having escaped pursuit, searched the path and gradually joined Ye Cheng and Han Zisha. Boarding their flower ship, they sailed to Flower Cage Sect’s Water Altar. There, he enjoyed a top-class room, living comfortably and appropriately.
Li Xian gathered his belongings and settled them in the room, then heated some water for a bath, washing away any dust, feeling incredibly comfortable. Afterwards, he visited Ye Cheng and Han Zisha, exchanging some polite talks. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
His ear and eye sensing detected that Wen Caishang had freed herself, allowing him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
The night wind blew, he gazed at the flowing river, pondering how people’s lives are often beyond control. With his body leaning against the railing, his hair fluttering, he let his thoughts wander:
"Escaped from the lady, but my heart still feels unwilling. The lady taught me Martial Arts, like both a master and a wife. I once thought she was using me, deceiving me, calculating against me. But after this encounter, I realized the lady truly held deep friendship for me. Oh Li Xian, though born impoverished, fortune hasn’t completely abandoned you. Gaining favor and support, you’ve managed to step into Martial Arts. Now you’ve made some progress, despite all the curses and infamy; ultimately, you’ve made a bit of a name."
Suddenly feeling troubled and headachy: "Yet you behaved recklessly, provoking others, unable to change your promiscuous ways. Alas... So many things are indeed hard to straighten out. Oh well, why bother pondering upon them."
He faced danger throughout his life, breaking through obstacles, except when confronted with emotions, opting to flee. freewebnøvel.com
Huajiang spans ten thousand miles, with a width of several miles, but few ships venture across. The flower ship occasionally lifted and occasionally heavy plummeted onto the river surface. The ship’s journey was undulating, as if traversing mountainous terrain. Waves rolled continuously without rest. Once, a dragon traversed the waters, passing just by this river. It happened in the blink of an eye, and Li Xian paid no heed. Now passing through this river again, he noticed the scenery on both banks seemed similar, memories resurfaced.
The Flying Dragon City journey concluded completely. Li Xian reflected upon many events, sorting through gains and losses, reviewing actions, seeking experiences from the past to improve himself. This journey was filled with danger; Jing Chun Daoist was the first, almost assassinated halfway through. Later captured by the lady, thereafter hunted by heroes, trapped in a tomb, battling Zheng Decun, overpowering Five Mountains Sword Alliance, facing elder leaders in combat.
Everywhere was perilous, everywhere was dangerous.
Li Xian thought, "Of all dangers, the lady was the most daunting. This time escaping was truly due to the lady underestimating me. Coupled with Setting Sun Bloodsword reaching Great Self Realm, catching her off guard. Next meeting, it might be useless."
Considering Flying Dragon City’s many skilled experts, each school had elders and disciples with unique styles. Even the cunning and sly He Wentian was difficult and crafty, mastering rhetoric, possessing unique charm. Worldly heroes indeed should never be underestimated.
In this trip, gaining the miraculous ’Only I have a Heart Skill’, Middle Level Martial Arts ’Finger-Flashing Golden Light’, Magic Dao·Golden Light... the benefits are profound, far exceeding expectations. Setting Sun Bloodsword greatly advanced, accumulating experience against opponents.
Li Xian contemplated, "Although harvests are rich, they require thorough digestion. My current Broken Demon Spear is at Perfection, about to reach Peak."
"’Only I have a Heart Skill’ and ’Finger-Flashing Golden Light’ haven’t had the opportunity to practice, ’Only I have a Heart Skill’ barely Beginner, unknowable mysteries within. ’Finger-Flashing Golden Light’ merely noted its method, yet to attempt. Furthermore, Avoid Jade True Skill and Golden Light Technique can be practiced and improved. The urgent need is to appropriately arrange so all paths advance without wasting opportunities."
Li Xian considered this, returning to the bedroom. Closing the door well, spreading paper, brush, ink on the table, dipping the brush in ink, recording numerous martial arts onto the paper.
"Only I have a Heart Skill’, ’Finger-Flashing Golden Light’, ’Avoid Jade True Skill’, ’Golden Light Technique’, ’Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture’, ’Broken Demon Spear.’ He pondered, prioritizing martial arts, practice sequences are highly important.
’Avoid Jade True Skill’ originates from Nangong Liuli, excellent for nurturing and prolonging life. ’Finger-Flashing Golden Light’ was bestowed by Wen Caishang, closely connected with Golden Light Technique. ’Only I have a Heart Skill’ is infinitely profound, utterly unique. Golden Light Technique heavily consumes stamina, how can one endure continuous practice."
Li Xian thought, "’Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture’ nourishes blood and strengthens the body, consolidates essence and nurtures origin, although devoid of lethal moves, yet intensely formidable. This skill must be regularly practiced. ’Only I have a Heart Skill’ primarily cultivates willpower, not requiring grand movements, capable of refining the heart and tempering intentions, augmenting Martial Arts Skill Level."
"Starting from tomorrow, I’ll practice ’Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture’ one hour at midnight. Then take a short nap, from late Yin until early Yang transition, practice Broken Demon Spear until noon, return to room at afternoon to practice ’Golden Light Technique’, when tired, practice ’Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture’ again. When completely exhausted, refine heart and temper intent, practicing ’Only I have a Heart Skill’. Two hours in the evening for rest. Observing river views along the way is also nice!"
Simultaneously incorporating ’Golden Light Technique’, ’Only I have a Heart Skill’, ’Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture’, ’Broken Demon Spear’ training. Li Xian arranged them systematically, progress visible daily. With a blink, three days passed, all practice adhered to the plan.
[Magic Dao·Golden Light]
[Skill Level: 7/100]
Li Xian’s control increasingly agile, body like flowing light, gradually able to penetrate through screens.
