Chapter 117: Sword Dao of Willow Liu Liu Se Xin

The dawn of the early morning penetrated the dense mountain fog, dyeing the jungle with golden brilliance. Looking around, there was morning glow shining everywhere, and water vapor was dense.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples had breakfast early in the morning, each one wearing a serious expression.

Their first battle of questioning Dao in Spirit Sword Mountain would be held today, with He Lingxiu of the Zizai Hall fighting Yan Shujing of Profound Jianfeng, divided into three matches, winning two matches would be victory.

Although it was He Lingxiu who was wielding the sword, what she represented was the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, so everyone felt nervous.

Thus, during the entire breakfast process, even the conversation was much less.

But although their conversation was less, there were many Spirit Sword Mountain outer sect disciples around who looked at them from time to time, with a bit of unkind laughter on their faces.

You Buyu had been concentrating on cultivating Dao these few days, ignoring the wind and rain outside his heart, and at this time, he couldn't help but furrow his brows: "What are they saying?"

Wang Yue, who was beside You Buyu, spoke in a low voice: "That Seeing Ji You of the outer sect went to Heavenly Jianfeng to break through the sword forest yesterday."

You Buyu turned to look at him: "Sword forest?"

"I also heard about it yesterday. A sword forest was set up on Heavenly Jianfeng of Spirit Sword Mountain. Those who break through the sword forest can cultivate the sword Dao of Spirit Sword Mountain."

Wang Yue put his arm on the table: "Seeing Ji You has always been obsessed with swords. Presumably, he had thoughts early on, and not long after going up the mountain, he went to the sword forest."

Fang Linchao also heard some wind, but at this moment he was somewhat puzzled: "I heard that people from the Questioning Dao Sect and the Mountain Sea Pavilion also went to break through it, but why do these people specifically carry a mocking intent toward our Heavenly Tian Shuyuan?"

"Because that Seeing Ji You caused some jokes."

"What joke?"

"It is said that the last sword of the first sword forest is called 【Little Zhongshan】. The weakest disciple in the initial Realm of Profound Understanding in Spirit Sword Mountain only used eight swords to pass, but Seeing Ji You yesterday... used sixteen swords, and after he entered the second sword forest, he was slashed out not long after."

Wang Yue then said: "The disciples of the Mountain Sea Pavilion and the Questioning Dao Sect were also on the mountain at that time, taking in his disheveled state."

You Buyu's face was gloomy, and his voice instantly became sharp: "I said early on, no one is allowed to cause extra trouble, I didn't expect someone still wouldn't listen!"

"This Seeing Ji You is originally from a rustic private cultivation background, there are no rules in his brain. It was the same at the Pill Sect that day, he took people out to stroll around without permission. I heard disciples discussing later, saying that some people suspected they secretly went to the Medicine Pool..."

"?!"

After the Pill Sect trip, the auras of Seeing Ji You, Ban Yangshu, and others had all significantly improved, attracting a lot of private discussion.

Although others had no evidence, it was no problem to gossip with their mouths.

Wang Yue originally thought not to disturb the senior brother's Dao heart before the battle, so he didn't say it, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but reveal the wind.

"Truly a thing without rules. The Pill Sect is one thing, but coming to Spirit Sword Mountain and still being like this, does he really want to lose all the face of my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan?"

"He went to break through other people's sword forest and caused such a laughingstock. Later, even if Junior Sister He and I win the questioning, Spirit Sword Mountain will definitely use this matter to mock us. What glory can there be on the face of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan!"

Wang Yue and Fang Linchao exchanged glances, and their brows also furrowed tightly.

What Senior Brother You said was indeed true.

They originally only needed to win the questioning, and then go down the mountain, which would be considered as having earned back face for the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, and the Great Xia Sacred Sect would still dominate the world.

But that Seeing Ji You insisted on being bold and reckless, causing extra trouble at this moment, and ended up being treated as a laughingstock.

In today's and tomorrow's questioning battle, even if Senior Sister He and Senior Brother You win, this glory will inevitably be greatly discounted because of this.

"I finally know why the Managing Tian Shuyuan has been targeting Seeing Ji You."

"Even if the Chu family factor is temporarily not mentioned, that Seeing Ji You fundamentally has no glory as a Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple in his heart!"

"Leaving this person in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan will definitely be a disaster. After the questioning ends, I will definitely request my aunt to expel him from the sect!"

You Buyu said sternly, and the bamboo chopsticks in his hand had already been crushed into powder by the part he was holding.

He had never looked favorably upon Seeing Ji You, especially Yuan Caiwei's vastly different attitude toward the two of them made him feel deeply disgusted, and at this moment, hearing these rumors, he had a kind of evil fire burning in his heart.

And at the table behind him, Wen Zhengxin and Pei Ruyi watched them for a long time, then turned to their own table.

"Did Ji Shidi really go to break through the sword forest of Spirit Sword Mountain?"

Ban Yangshu nodded while holding his porridge bowl: "This matter was already spread far and wide last night, and only a few people didn't know."

Pei Ruyi lowered her voice: "Ji Shidi Ji was muttering about coming to learn swords before he came. I am not surprised that he went to the sword forest, but how could he use sixteen swords?"

"Spirit Sword Mountain disciples start learning swords when they enter the sect. What is strange about being fast? Ji Shidi Ji's sword was taught by Old Wang, it was not the right path to begin with. What is strange about using more times to get used to it?"

"But Ji Shidi should know that even if he breaks through the sword forest, Heavenly Jianfeng won't teach him..."

"Ji Shidi previously said it was observing swords to realize Dao, perhaps he doesn't need to be taught. But this kind of thing, have you heard of it before?"

Ban Yangshu shook his head: "If it were really so easy to learn sword Dao, the swords of Spirit Sword Mountain would have spread throughout the world long ago..."

Bai Rulong was drinking thin porridge, not participating in the chat, but his face was somewhat stern.

After going up the mountain yesterday morning, he rested and planned to go find Brother Ji to talk about Spirit Sword Mountain.

As a result, just as he walked outside Brother Ji's courtyard, he found that there seemed to be people guarding the mountain path, and there was a sound of fighting coming from Brother Ji's room, as well as bursts of painful groans.

He suspected that Brother Ji was forced to go to the sword forest to lose face.

This truth was known only to him.

Subsequently, breakfast ended, and He Lingxiu, who hadn't said a word during the period, stood up with her sword, while other disciples exchanged glances and followed her out the door.

At this time, at the Spirit Sword Mountain Looking Immortal Terrace, the Questioning Dao Sect, the Mountain Sea Pavilion, and the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples had already gathered, and looking around, it was a sea of people.

Besides the disciples of these three sects, in the corner also sat the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion, the Chen Clan, and the sect-outside walkers of their Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

Because the number was not large, if one didn't look closely, it was really not easy to see.

And on the half-slope of the mountain cliff facing them, the Mountain Sea Pavilion Head, the direct guarding venerable of the Questioning Dao Sect, and several Elders of Spirit Sword Mountain were already seated.

But what made the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples furrow their brows the most was that besides these people, there was another group of people on the right side of the high cliff.

Sitting in the front was a young man with azure demon pupils, wearing faint scale patterns on his neck at the collar, followed by a sturdy middle-aged man with short horns on his head, holding a silver spear.

Although the demon race entering the realm was said to be for trade with the human race, everyone knew that they were actually aiming for the human race's Dao lineage.

However, the overflowing Pill Dao of the Pill Sect made the Dao lineage matter full of clouds and mist, causing the demon race not to act rashly.

And besides the Dao lineage, what the demon race was most interested in was exactly how strong the human race's strength was.

Previously, cultivators of the Azure Cloud Continent had seen the carriage pulled by exotic beasts go to Qingzhou, hovering near the Chen Clan, seemingly intending to watch the battle.

But the people of the Mountain Sea Pavilion and the Heavenly Jianfeng lineage of Spirit Sword Mountain were invited up the mountain, and no one knew what kind of compromise was made, and they didn't even know whether the Abbot Chen Ruhai was dead or alive. In short, the war did not start.

Thus, after some twists and turns, the carriage pulled by exotic beasts arrived in Lingzhou.

And compared to the sea of people at the Looking Immortal Terrace, the sword forest at this time was completely silent.

Probably because the disciples of the Mountain Sea Pavilion and the Questioning Dao Sect had already figured it out, that Elder Qi's sword forest should not be conquered without a full month's effort, so the thoughts were much less.

And the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples felt that there was still plenty of time, so they were not in a hurry for a moment, and instead wanted to go watch the excitement of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan questioning.

Thus, in this silent bamboo forest, there was only one white-robed swordsman coming from the mountain path, holding an iron sword and walking into the forest.

Last night, he roasted sweet potatoes with the Little Inspector of Spirit Sword Mountain, just like in the room in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan in winter, but... didn't get to hug.

The main reason was that after eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Yan Shuyi quietly dismissed Zhuo Wanqiu and Ding Yao.

Seeing Ji You's mouth couldn't be idle, and he asked her if she wanted a hug, originally wanting to see how her reaction was, but as a result, the Little Inspector kicked him twice with her tender feet, and then left with murderous intent.

Actually, he shouldn't have said it openly. Originally, last time he hugged her, she responded with an attitude of pretending not to notice.

Although she trembled a little when she first sat in his arms, she became more and more obedient later, as if pretending nothing had happened.

But this time it was said openly, and it would be extremely difficult to hug in the future.

Seeing Ji You reached out to hold his sword with some regret, muttering as he walked into the forest and entered the second forest.

This place was also empty, but all around were scattered medicine bottles, presumably left by disciples who had come to break the swords earlier.

"Truly no public morality..."

"Don't they know that Spirit Sword Mountain is my home, and cleanliness depends on everyone?"

Seeing Ji You organized those medicine bottles, and then held his sword and entered the depths of the second forest.

Just at this time, a wild roar of sword Dao began in the originally silent forest, and killing intent instantly steamed up.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and heard the sound of clanging all around, and sharp sword Qi instantly attacked head-on, making his face instantly solemn.

Hum—

Seeing Ji You swung his sword and moved, the iron sword clashing fiercely with the sword Qi of the second sword forest, carrying surging spiritual energy, charging forward without looking back, sword waves overlapping wildly as he stepped.

Amidst the clanging, a streak of wild sword Qi pressed down head-on, and was blocked by the iron sword.

The subsequent second streak of sword Qi went straight for his heart, was blocked by Seeing Ji You's side body, the straight sword style swung through, and his whole body's blood and Qi surged incessantly because of the ruthlessness in the sword Qi.

"The killing intent in this sword Dao is somewhat too heavy."

"Isn't it used to train Spirit Sword Mountain disciples? How can it be completely without holding back..."

Seeing Ji You swept away the sword Qi, standing in the emerald, deep and quiet bamboo forest, furrowing his brows slightly.

The sword intent in the sword Qi can reflect the sword heart; whatever the state of mind of the sword wielder is, his sword intent will be like that.

From the first forest to the second forest, everything he felt along the way was that Elder Qi's heart wanting to kill people.

Seeing Ji You didn't think much, then swung his sword and continued forward, and then sword Dao rose from all directions.

He gripped the long sword in his hand tightly, constantly changing sword styles as he dodged and moved, fighting into a ball with the sword Qi in the forest.

The sword intent of the second forest was indeed powerful; even just a few straight sword styles slashed him, making him feel pressure, needing to hold the sword with thick spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in his body was much thicker than that of ordinary people, and he still felt pressure, so it was no wonder that those in the Realm of Profound Understanding who entered this place had been trapped for so long.

Elder Yan Ye of Heavenly Jianfeng had once said that he didn't have enough time and might not see 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】.

But what she didn't know was that Seeing Ji You's amount of spiritual energy far exceeded ordinary people.

With a 'whoosh', Seeing Ji You was like drawing a sword in water, walking into the center of the second forest facing the vast sword Qi.

He had always met enemies with multiple swords, and the world saying he took advantage of loopholes was not false. At this time, capturing sword slashes and feedback with a single sword, he felt even more that the sword Dao of Spirit Sword Mountain was exquisite.

That Elder Qi was truly worthy of being a cultivator who had immersed himself in swords for his whole life.

Hum—

Seeing Ji You swung his sword and looked back, the sword whistling through the forest, the sword styles constantly connecting, connecting into a sword circle as he slashed wildly.

For an hour, he only walked out five zhang, his full chest heaving violently, hot air steaming as blood and Qi surged.

At this time, Seeing Ji You had already felt a powerful sword intent brewing in the depths of the bamboo forest, seemingly waiting for him.

Starting to get excited...

Seeing Ji You didn't say a word and carried his sword away, countless sword Dao flying and shooting head-on, the wind and waves stirred up blowing his white robes wildly, and then they were fiercely slashed down by the iron sword.

Must be fast!

Must be even faster!

Seeing Ji You danced his sword incessantly, while liberating the spiritual apertures around his body, constantly swallowing and spitting spiritual energy, facing that wild sword Dao, his own sword intent also began to boil, rushing straight to the sky, startling the wind and rain.

The sound of clanging was endless in the forest, horizontal slashes, circular cuts, heart-piercing, flying picks, countless sword Qi hiding murderous intent were slashed under the blade.

Subsequently, a loud sword hum rose in the forest, and Seeing Ji You saw a sharp sword rising into the air.

The guarding sword of the second sword forest, Willow Liu Liu Se Xin.

Compared to the heavy, vast 【Little Zhongshan】 full of suppression intent, what 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】 released was a kind of extreme sharpness.

This sharpness made Seeing Ji You at this time feel a tremor, deeply feeling that even a gentle touch like a breeze brushing against a willow would be completely slashed off.

At this moment, surging spiritual energy rushed out from his hand, completely wrapping the sword body.

Seeing Ji You carried the long sword and walked toward that streak of 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】, then directly met it with a horizontal sword.

Most of the sword Dao in the world seeks sharpness, but the sword he swung toward 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】 at this moment was extremely dull, extremely heavy, heavy and dull like a heavy mountain.

Thus, the mutually opposing sword Qi clashed fiercely in an instant, the wild aura constantly spreading in the forest, expanding ripples like stones thrown into a lake.

Rising, condensing, falling, rising, condensing, falling.

Seeing Ji You's sword intent was roaring incessantly, and five swords had already risen continuously in the bamboo forest.

If it weren't for the thick spiritual energy wrapping the sword body, Seeing Ji You didn't doubt at all that he would be cut to pieces along with the iron sword in his hand...
