Free Web NovelBy noon, a fine drizzle began to fall.
Around the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint, the scene was still that of a waterfall and clear spring, but now it also had lush green grass, clear bird songs, and a tranquil moonlit pond.
And a cave.
Whenever someone comprehended the Transcendent ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) Cloud Sword Imprint, the meaning left on it would form various wondrous sights.
After Li Mo's comprehension, a pit appeared in the mountain wall behind the waterfall.
“It really does look a bit like the Water Curtain Cave....”
He walked around the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint and entered the cave.
Xiao Li felt a sense of familiarity, unsure if it was because it somewhat resembled the cave he dug near the Autumn Water Pavilion, or if it matched his imagination of a certain Great Sage's birthplace.
He sat cross-legged inside the cave, his consciousness sinking into the World Seed.
Buzz—
Inside the World Seed, the Panjie Meteor Hammer vibrated gently.
The hammer treasure still wanted to hammer something.
“Good boy, this stone can only face one way down right now.”
“When the stone can face both ways down, I’ll definitely let you hammer it again.”
Li Mo comforted it earnestly.
Feeling his sincerity, the hammer treasure believed him and obediently went to play with the Chixiao Sword.
Taking out his writing tools and a pile of rare treasures to supplement his Yi Soul, Li Mo took a deep breath.
“Last time I copied the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint, I didn’t even get a tenth of it right.”
“Now I have two apertures of Guan Shen, my Yi Soul has greatly increased, and my Qi is complete and my spirit is full.”
He swallowed a five-patterned Yingxu Pill.
Li Mo spread the qingmai jade jian on the bluestone, then poured his Mental Energy into the tip of his nose, and put brush to paper.
To draw a stone, one cannot simply draw just a stone.
You must draw it having endured countless years of wind and rain....
Countless birds and beasts have passed by its side, and it has witnessed countless sunrises and sunsets.
It might even have been hit by a hammer....
Li Mo’s brush moved like a Dragon.
If there was even a slight inaccuracy in the drawing, he would pick up a new sheet of paper and start over.
While he was engrossed in his painting.
Thud—
Outside the Water Curtain Cave, a footstep suddenly sounded.
Li Mo looked up.
Then he saw a woman with short, ear-length hair, wearing the simplest Hengyun Sword City Disciple robe, and a pair of round crystal glasses on her face, approaching.
Due to the various meanings within the wondrous sight, she seemed not to have noticed that there was an extra cave behind the waterfall, and an extra person inside the cave.
She skillfully sat down there and earnestly began to comprehend the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint.
“Senior Xu’s Disciple?”
Senior Xu was that white-haired young Law Body.
When he came up, he had mentioned his Disciple, who was also the Senior Sister of Hengyun Sword City.
Many of Sword City’s famous Martial Arts today were comprehended by her; usually, besides comprehending the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint, she would just practice sword, rarely leaving her home.
“I smell a tech-savvy person.”
Li Mo shrugged and continued with his own business.
Neither side disturbed the other.
Another half an hour later.
Looking at the painting in front of him, which was eighty percent similar to the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint outside, Li Mo shook his head.
“This is my best one today.”
“It seems that my current Yi Soul strength and painting skills are not enough to draw the ultimate form....”
Xiao Li was not disheartened.
Senior Brother Ouyang had been immersed in the Dao of painting for over ten years, and even he had only managed to draw the ultimate form at most.
He was already progressing very quickly.
If he continued to copy, he would eventually succeed, and that future would not be too far off.
“Ice Cube’s lecture is almost over too.”
Glancing at the sky, Li Mo got up, ready to leave.
But as soon as he reached the cave entrance.
Hmm?
He saw the woman with the round crystal glasses, her face now pale, muttering something under her breath.
Tianming Divine Eye activated!
Name: Wei Zhaoliu
Age: 26
Root Bone: Eight Directions Sword Body.
Realm: Guan Shen Seven Apertures.
Destiny: Purple
Evaluation: She has observed the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint for decades, revering the sword imprint as a miracle, and believing that all her Martial Arts were derived from the sword imprint. She takes this as her goal, hoping to surpass her Master one day.
Recent Encounter: After coming out of seclusion, she comprehended the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint again, but could no longer feel the presence of the sword imprint.
Li Mo: “.....”
Didn’t the Sword City Elders say that one could still comprehend the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint even without the sword imprint?
Wasn't that sword imprint mostly symbolic?
“This... Junior Brother?”
Wei Zhaoliu only just noticed Li Mo and asked:
“Junior Brother, do you feel that this Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint is a bit different today?”
“Haha... it is a little bit.”
Li Mo nodded.
Wei Zhaoliu suddenly seemed to realize something:
“Hmm, I remember now.”
“Master said that a young woman with unparalleled Sword Dao talent caused the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint to flip over when she comprehended it.”
“Junior Brother, have you seen that young woman?”
“........”
After a moment of silence, Li Mo said: “I’ve had some communication and understanding.”
“I heard she is currently giving a lecture at the Sword Pool. I will definitely go see her when I have time.”
As she spoke, a strong interest rose in Wei Zhaoliu’s eyes.
“Her lectures are indeed very impressive.”
“So, Junior Brother, you’ve listened to her?”
“Yes, often.”
“Her Sword Dao talent is so high, I wonder who between her and me will be the first to brand their own sword imprint onto the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint.”
Wei Zhaoliu sighed with emotion.
She felt that her talent might not be stronger than that young woman’s, but having comprehended the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint for over a decade, with her experience, she still had a chance.
As she spoke, she walked over and casually prepared to flip the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint over.
“Wait....”
Splat, the Transcendent Cloud Sword Imprint flipped over.
“Wait for what?”
Wei Zhaoliu was stunned.
When she lowered her gaze, the light in her eyes suddenly froze.
“The sword imprint... it’s gone?”
The light left her eyes, and she instantly seemed to have lost her Soul.
“.....”
Li Mo covered his face.
He hadn’t expected Wei Zhaoliu to flip it over, and it was too late to stop her.
Wei Zhaoliu had already lost her Soul at this point, her whole person seeming to have turned pale.
“This is... this is... a hammer?”
After seeing clearly, her pupils dilated even further.
“If neither of us is mistaken... yes, it is.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
As Li Mo spoke, he noticed.
In the Tianming Divine Eye, Wei Zhaoliu’s status had changed.
Recent Encounter: Discovered the sword imprint had turned into a hammer, her Dao Heart was greatly shaken, with faint signs of collapse.
Not far away.
Wei Zhaoliu slumped to the ground, sharp Sword Qi escaping from her body, cutting deep marks all around her.
That was not something she actively unleashed, but rather leaked out.
Wei Zhaoliu desperately wanted to calm down, but she couldn’t.
The thing she had pursued with all her life’s energy had now disappeared.
And it had turned into a hammer.
Then....
What did the things she had comprehended from it even count as?
But.
Suddenly, a clear light shone, illuminating her chaotic mind.
She seemed to calm down instantly.
Her scattered gaze refocused, and she saw not far away, the Junior Brother from earlier, with a faint moon shadow appearing behind him.
It carried an essence of tranquility and peace, like a pair of invisible hands, smoothing out the wrinkles in her heart.
After the second aperture of Guan Shen.
Li Mo’s Yi Soul power gained the effect of soothing negative emotions.
At the same time, a notification sound rang out.
Congratulations to the Host, for successfully investing in ‘Wei Zhaoliu’ and preventing her Dao Heart from being damaged.
Investment Feedback: Thirty years of Martial Arts Comprehension.
However.
After recovering from the mental shock, Wei Zhaoliu gritted her teeth and asked:
“Who... who did this, exactly?”
“Junior Brother, you watched the Martial Arts Summit, do you have any idea?”
