Chapter 56: The Mysterious Sword Book, Departure!

  Figures danced with swords, sword energy rampant.

  These vague figures, if placed in the mundane world, would be the legendary swordsmen who appear only once in a thousand years. Every move and style seems to be premeditated, with some moves being fatal, some killing moves hidden, and subsequent moves uninterrupted.

  It was as if he had entered a world of swords, where all sorts of extraordinary swordsmanship could be seen everywhere, and Wang Chen was dueling with these swordsmen one by one.

  With Wang Chen's cultivation, defeating these mundane swordsmen was simply effortless. However, after Wang Chen's consciousness arrived in this space, his cultivation was suppressed, completely becoming an ordinary person, unable to mobilize even a single thread of spiritual energy.

  Ding! Ding! Ding!

  The sound of swords colliding was incessant, with even a second containing over a dozen clashes, this speed truly reached the secular extreme.

  One by one, Wang Chen finally defeated a famous swordsman, and only then did he feel that the emptiness in his swordsmanship that had been there all along disappear, and the foundation of his swordsmanship was finally solidified.

  The previous sword body realm was only created by worldly warriors, even if it was extraordinary, limited to the scope of vision, and the understanding of swords was also insufficient.

  In the realm of this sword, there is no such deficiency. In the mundane world, there are countless varieties of sword moves, and Wang Chen's comprehension of them has made the foundation of his sword path unshakeably solid!

  ……

  This is a world of swords, with swords everywhere on the ground. However, when one tries to pull out a sword by hand, it disappears, and at the same time, a surge of heavenly energy presses down.

  "Sword Intent Realm!"

  Wang Chen muttered to himself, indulging in this world, and the sword energy aura on his body slowly changed. The auras of grandeur, majesty, slaughter, and death flashed by one after another, finally stopping at a fleeting aura.

  This sword move is very unique, it's free and transcendent.

  ……….

  After an unknown period of time, Wang Chen opened his eyes and asked: "How long has it been this time?"

  "It's been three days!"

  As soon as Feng Wuji's voice fell, Wang Chen let out a sigh of amazement: "This sword is truly boundless! I've been stuck in this book space for probably dozens of years, but in reality it's only been more than three months!"

  "Junior brother is absolutely right! I don't know what kind of divine ability Master has, to be able to create such a strange object. However, it's a pity that this space can only enhance the foundation of Sword Body Realm and Sword Intent Realm. If an ignorant sword cultivator could comprehend the sword way through this sword book, it would be too against the heavens!"

  Wang Chen glared at Feng Wuji, "Second brother, what are you talking about? This sword book is indeed a rare object, but it's not something that can be used to forcibly raise one's cultivation. It's better to use it to solidify one's foundation, if you try to use it to forcefully improve your cultivation, it will only end in failure!"

  Feng Wuji heard the words, as if he was deep in thought. Then, he bowed his head and said: "What my junior brother said is absolutely right. It's just a pity that from the Sword Intention Realm onwards, this sword book will no longer be effective. Otherwise, future cultivation would have been much easier!"

  "Nonsense!" Wang Chen glanced at Feng Wuji, carefully picked up a yellowed ancient book from the wooden table and handed it to Feng Wuji. "This book is of no use to me anymore, Second Brother might as well take it!"

  "The intent of a sword is as varied as the sands on a beach, each person's intent is different. Even for those who have created a sword manual, it is difficult to directly elevate the realm of their junior's intent!"

  Wang Chen thought for a moment before speaking.

  "Well, I've been practicing this sword technique for a year now, but it's still hard to make any progress!" Feng Wujie said helplessly.

  "Never mind! Your first layer of sword intent is already at the Golden Core stage, if you reach the second layer that would be the Nascent Soul stage!"

  Wang Chen curled his lips and said that although the two of them were emotionally sincere, there was one more thing between sword cultivators, so there were fewer small tricks in their hearts.

  Of course, in this way, the sword cultivator will not be exploited either. A sword cultivator like Feng Wuji who has reached the realm of sword intent, not only greatly increases his attack power, but also has some special functions. For example, he can feel the good and evil intentions of others, simply put, when someone has ulterior motives towards him, the sword intent can sense it.

  Three months later, Wang Chen and Feng Wuji stood together on the desolate mountain peak.

  "Second brother, life is just like the clouds in the sky, fleeting and unpredictable. You never know when you'll be blown to another place!"

  Wang Chen gazed up at the clouds, speaking softly, yet with a hint of melancholy in his tone. The past few months spent with Feng Wuji had been rare moments of comfort for Wang Chen, and so parting ways left him feeling somewhat sorrowful.

  "Junior brother, there's no need to be like this. This time I'll go to Qingyun Gate and find some sword cultivators with divine abilities. Later on, if you're bullied by others, I can protect you!" Feng Wujie said after taking a sip of wine.

  Glaring at Feng Wuji with one eye, Wang Chen reluctantly said:

  "Second brother, we part ways for now. After I've honed my sword skills, I'll look for you again to have a rematch. Until next time!"

  After finishing speaking, Wang Chen turned around and left without looking back. Feng Wuji also threw down the wine jug and floated away, leaving only the sound of the wine jug hitting the ground, echoing through the quiet and desolate mountain.

  One month later, Liu Yun Fang City.

  Wang Chen stood on the street of Fang City, and suddenly felt a dizziness in his heart, as if time had flowed backwards.

  "At first, I was just setting up a stall at this street corner! Not far ahead is my own cave dwelling! At that time, I accidentally discovered the function of the Causal Qi, constantly making talismans to earn spirit stones. That period of time was indeed the most difficult day! At the beginning, I failed dozens of times before successfully crafting a low-grade talisman!"

  "The initial stroke was bought here, I don't know how Tong'er is doing! Is it good in the Wan Shou Sect?"

  Wang Chen strolled along the street, his thoughts drifting away, and it took him a while to come back to himself.

  Liuyunfang City Jianjia is a subordinate immortal family of Luoyun Sect, so the disciples of Luoyun Sect have many privileges in Liuyunfang City, such as the right to choose caves first and lower prices.

  After putting away the temporary cave, Wang Chen let Xiao Qing out again. As soon as Xiao Qing came out, she circled around Wang Chen's hand, lowering her head and looking pitiful, which comforted Wang Chen.

  Some time ago, when Wang Chen was in Fuyue City, he was worried that the foundation-building cultivators would discover Xiaoqing's peculiarities, so he kept her hidden in his spiritual beast pouch and rarely took her out. After meeting Feng Wujie, Xiaoqing could come out, but after sensing the sharp aura on Feng Wujie's body, she hid again.

  Wang Chen had no choice but to put it away again, and this time he came to Liuyunfang City. Wang Chen let out Xiaoqing, and seeing Xiaoqing coming and going in the cave house, Wang Chen's mood improved a lot.

  On the second day, after Wang Chen finished his meditation, he got up and left, taking the small Qing from his chest with him.

  "Come on! I'll buy you something to eat!"

  Xiao Qing and Wang Chen were in perfect harmony, and with a few swift movements, she nimbly slipped into the spirit beast pouch.

  Ting Yu Xuan, Luo Yunzong's store in Liu Yunfang City. This place Wang Chen had been to many times before. Since his seal-making skills improved, Wang Chen rarely went there in person and instead handed over the seals to Ting Yu Xuan. Although this lowered the price a bit, it saved him a lot of time.

  "Boss, although our cultivation is not high, this fruit is absolutely extraordinary! The price you gave is really too low!"

  Before entering the attic, Wang Chen heard the voice of the monk, apparently the monk wanted to sell something, and the price given by Listening Rain Pavilion was too low.

  Wang Chen had seen many such things before. Generally, valuable items were traded in separate rooms to avoid being spied on and unexpected events. However, this rule generally applied to late-stage Qi-refining cultivators, while those with lower cultivation levels could only sell their items in front of Tingyu Pavilion.

  Before Wang Chen sold the talismans, his cultivation was also low. The shop owner only put the transaction in a separate room because he wanted to win over Wang Chen and had been buying talismans from him for a long time.

  For something like this, Wang Chen wouldn't normally care; after all, low-level cultivators usually don't get anything good, and offending Ting Yu Xuan again wouldn't be wise. However, when Wang Chen saw a familiar face, his attention shifted.

  A young man saw Wang Chen, his face lit up with joy, and then walked forward to bow and say: "Master!" The other companions seemed to recall something and also paid their respects.

  "Well, you don't have to sell your fruits anymore. Follow me!" King Chen nodded in satisfaction and was about to lead Zhou Yan and the others away.

  At this time, an unpleasant voice came over.

  "What kind of fruit is this? I want it!"

  As the sound approached, a young man in white clothes walked in, holding a folding fan, and looked quite decent, but his expression and smile combined to give people a **feeling.

  Descendant of a noble family!

  The monks present immediately made a judgment and then watched with interest as things developed.

  A young man in white clothes was followed by a sly-looking servant, who wasn't highly cultivated but had sharp eyes that pointed at Zhou Yan and his group: "Young master, the rare fruit is in their hands!"

  "A few Taoist friends have been polite!" The white-clothed young man's words were courteous, but his expression was extremely arrogant: "I came in to pursue the gift for the Fifth Miss Jian of the Flowing Cloud Sect. I heard that several of you have rare fruits and specially came to disturb you!"

  After finishing, he made a slight movement with his eyes, and the three cultivators behind him immediately released their aura after practicing. Wang Chen took a look at two Qi Refining Eighth Layer, one Qi Refining Ninth Layer, not bad strength, but this lineup was just for Wang Chen to take a glance!

  Several people present didn't notice, Zhou Yan felt uneasy and anxious that he had brought trouble to his master on their first meeting. The others looked at Zhou Yan, since he had a master with him, they naturally didn't want to hand over the exotic fruit.

  Zhou Yan looked at his companions, took a deep breath, and walked to Wang Chen's side, saying: "Master, what do you think we should do? Should we sell the rare fruit?"

  Zhou Yan's intention was very clear, he didn't want to trouble Wang Chen, so he gave the exotic fruit to the other party. However, Wang Chen also had a proud heart, comparing himself to the respected one among all beasts, how could he accept such coercion?

  "Bring out the exotic fruit!" Wang Chen ordered calmly, and Zhou Yan didn't hesitate, directly asking his companion for the exotic fruit and handing it over. After taking the exotic fruit, Wang Chen originally wanted to crush it in public, but after smelling its faint fragrance, he found that his previously uncoordinated physical strength had somehow become a little more harmonious.

  He muttered to himself, and Wang Chen knew that now was not the time to observe, so he put the strange fruit in a jade box. The white-clothed youth beside him saw the strange fruit, his eyes suddenly burning with desire, but when he saw Wang Chen putting it away, his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

  "This fruit is going bad, you can go!"

  The young man in white suddenly became enraged, his face flushing red as he said: "May I ask your name, sir? I am the eldest disciple of the master of Luofeng Valley!"

  "Young Master is not only a direct disciple, but also the son of the sect leader!" The claws and teeth beside him chimed in.

  Wang Chen smiled and said: "Oh, so you're a relative, but you don't need to know my name, we're not close anyway!"

  As they spoke, the three words "born to" were bitten particularly hard, and the young man in white clothes blushed with a wave of anger, saying: "You are indeed eloquent, I will definitely visit your humble abode another day!"
