Chapter 1379

Near the Twelve Heavens Capital, many people were discussing.

Even experts like Xue Ningzhen and Li Jinglan followed, wanting to know Xiao Feng's purpose.

But they had no chance.

The woodcutter saw Xiao Feng ready, stepped into the air and came before him, saying: "My old friend has already gone ahead; we can't fall behind, break open the void, speed up a bit."

Then he raised the firewood knife at his waist and chopped at the air ahead.

Crack~

A spatial crack appeared, then quickly expanded into a teleportation gate.

Golden Immortal-level experts don't need a Teleportation Array to go out; they themselves are a Teleportation Array that can go wherever they wish!

This method is far stronger than that of True Immortal-level experts; speaking of travel speed, even the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the fastest in the Nine Provinces, cannot match any Golden Immortal.

Xiao Feng, hearing the woodcutter speak of his old friend, was curious what the latter looked like.

He put away Da Bai, and he and the woodcutter entered the teleportation gate one after another; the gate immediately closed, giving no chance for others to follow.

When they reappeared, they were already in a wilderness in the northern part of Zhongzhou.

In Zhongzhou, the east, south, and west have Teleportation Arrays, but the north does not.

Because the strongest sect in the Nine Provinces, Yunchu Shan, is right here!

Xiao Feng looked ahead and saw green mountains and white mist, immortal energy swirling, and he had no idea where he was.

In the mountains there were birds and beasts, green trees and red flowers, a scene of natural harmony, but no human figures could be seen.

"This is the outer area of Yunchu Shan; a hundred li ahead is the first layer of the Ninefold Grand Formation," the woodcutter introduced.

Yunchu Shan is hard to enter precisely because of the Ninefold Grand Formation blocking the way.

The Ninefold Grand Formation includes illusionary formations, phantom formations, trapping formations, killing formations, and many other types; the deeper one goes, the more dangerous it becomes.

Those slightly weaker in strength wander around after entering and then come out again; the danger is not too great.

Most feared are those of middling strength who can get through the illusion and phantom formations but cannot pass the killing formation, dying outright inside.

Of course, with someone like the woodcutter, a 1900-level Golden Immortal, leading the way, there's no problem; entering and exiting is easy.

"Just me alone? I thought the senior would bring outstanding disciples of the Twelve Heavens Capital to have several bouts," Xiao Feng asked.

Earlier the woodcutter said that the disciples of the Twelve Heavens Capital, each time they went to challenge, lost more than they won, clearly more than one person participated.

But this time, it's only him going alone.

The woodcutter said: "One person is enough; this is merely the obsession between me and my old friend, not rising to the level of the whole sect. Look, I didn't even bring any elders of the Twelve Heavens Capital."

Xiao Feng gave a slight nod to show he understood.

After all, it's just that the woodcutter and his companions want to regain face.

As for the sect… they themselves know that even if the Twelve Heavens Capital developed for another ten thousand years, it would still fall far short of Yunchu Shan.

"Old friend, won't you show yourself?"

The woodcutter then said lightly.

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Feng saw the white mist not far ahead gather into a humanoid shape.

It was a short, thin old man who looked much older than the woodcutter, tall and slim, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, with a fishing pole slung over his shoulder.

The mist gradually condensed into substance, took on color, and became a real person.

Xiao Feng glanced at the opponent's information.

【Old Man Fishing】

Level: Unknown

HP: Unknown

Note: Fishing at the air, he has never seen a fish in his life.

This old man is a 1700-level Golden Immortal; although his exact HP cannot be seen, he is clearly formidable.

This person is the master of the Kai Tian Sword, wielding the Kai Tian Seven Swords Secret Art, and his power is also extremely terrifying!

"Greetings, Senior!" Xiao Feng performed a junior's salute.

"No need for much courtesy. How much of the Kai Tian Four Swords have you comprehended?" the old fisherman asked.

The manual of the Kai Tian Four Swords was indirectly transmitted by him; he could be considered half a master, so it's natural for him to care.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng replied: "The four-page sword manual has already dissipated."

"Oh? In just three months you've made such progress; it seems not only is your talent good, but your diligence is also commendable." The old fisherman was somewhat surprised and nodded approvingly.

The dissipation of the manual proves he has learned the skill; even if he hasn't reached perfection, it counts as having entered the hall.

The Kai Tian Four Swords are no ordinary sword technique; learning four moves in three months is enough to prove Xiao Feng's learning ability is extraordinary.

"I put some thought into it and also picked up some basic swordplay, so I wouldn't be stuck later with just those four moves, left in a bind." Xiao Feng laughed, not being overly modest.

The woodcutter chuckled: "Those four moves are enough for you to eat through all the strong beings below Golden Immortal in the Nine Provinces. Come on, let's go into the mountain to see an old friend!"

After speaking, he waved his big hand, the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, faintly protected Xiao Feng as they drifted slowly into the mist-shrouded area.

The mist seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible big hand, clearing a path.

The illusion formation originally meant to confuse intruders lost its effect before the might of the two Golden Immortals.

The three advanced not quickly; for Yunchu Shan's outer formation, which is tens of thousands of kilometers thick, this pace is like a turtle's crawl, requiring a long flight to pass through.

This is because the formation is very complex; the faster one flies, the easier it is to mistakenly enter a killing formation and invite trouble.

The two Golden Immortals carved a path with their own cultivation; though slow, it was steady.

Moreover, their speed was gradually increasing; the deeper they went, the more obvious the acceleration became.

"Old friend, when was the last time you came?" the old fisherman asked the woodcutter.

The woodcutter replied: "It's been almost a thousand years. The last time we came with disciples, one of them has already become chief."

The old fisherman sighed: "Time really flies; my sense of the years is growing weaker. If this continues, I might not even notice when I grow old and die."

The woodcutter smiled: "At our level, wanting to die of old age isn't that easy. Keep at it slowly; maybe one day you'll break through to the Great Luo Realm."

"Alas, I have no hope left; you can try hard. It's just a pity I lack the ability to seek the predecessor who secretly transmitted the Opening Heaven Seven Swords to me back then—I don't know who he is." The old fisher sighed.

Xiao Feng raised his brow.

So the Opening Heaven Seven Swords weren't something Old Fisher figured out by observing the Twelve Heavenly Capital Peaks himself, right?

The woodcutter said: "Our realm is already not bad, yet we still can't gauge that predecessor's realm. Perhaps it's an existence even more formidable than the Yunchu Shan Old Ancestor, who refuses to reveal his true form, leaving us helpless."

The old fisher sighed again, filled with regret.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask: "Two seniors, the Opening Heaven Sword and the Opening Heaven Seven Swords... weren't they created by you?"

The woodcutter shook his head.

The old fisher also shook his head: "It can only be considered a matter of comprehension and study. That was a peerless sword intent entrusted by a peerless strong expert within the Twelve Heavenly Capital Peaks; I grasped seven or eight parts of it and named it the Opening Heaven Seven Swords. On the day I achieved some comprehension, I vaguely saw that expert's silhouette. Later, to promote the Opening Heaven Seven Swords, I and an old friend spent a thousand years gathering countless treasures before forging the Opening Heaven Sword."

Seven or eight parts became the Opening Heaven Seven Swords...

If one fully comprehended it, wouldn't there be eight swords, nine swords?

Following the pattern, the ninth sword must be a ninth-level Secret Art! It's even more formidable than what you get after synthesizing enough torn pages of the Slaughter Book!

"What did that strong expert's silhouette look like?" Xiao Feng asked.

The old fisher's gaze drifted far away as he fell into memory.

After a moment he said: "That was a young man, tall and straight, with an extraordinary noble bone, whose origins are unknown."

"A young man?"

Xiao Feng silently committed it to memory.

If in the future we get a chance to meet a youth who wields a sword and is at the Venerable Realm or above, we should ask if it's him.

If so, even if we have to flatter and fawn, we must make him learn the Opening Heaven Nine Swords!
