The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1365 - 1356: Enlightenment! The Heavy Sword Without Edge!

Chapter 1365: Chapter 1356: Enlightenment! The Heavy Sword Without Edge!

To the right of the Grim Mountains,

Su Bingshuan and her group from the Wanyue Pavilion found a clean spot to sit down. One of the three Divine Senses just now was from Su Bingshuan. Although she was cold and not fond of speaking, it didn’t mean she lacked intelligence. Would Jiang Motian have summoned them if it wasn’t absolutely necessary? This indicated that the danger of the Sword God’s grave was not ordinary.

Su Bingshuan knew that Jiang Junhua and others had become cannon fodder for Jiang Motian. However, she had no intention of stopping them. In her view, it was the greed of Jiang Junhua and the others that led to this. If they had obediently waited outside the Grim Mountains until tomorrow, even Jiang Motian wouldn’t be able to do anything to them then.

Meanwhile, to the left of the Grim Mountains.

Ning Xuesong and Ning Xuening from the Hanbing Sect sat down on the spot. After retrieving his Divine Sense, Ning Xuesong muttered to himself, "A bunch of idiots, they deserve to die."

...

While Su Bingshuan, Ning Xuesong, and others considered Jiang Junhua and his group foolish beyond compare,

Jiang Junhua and three other Loose Cultivators cautiously made their way toward the Sword God’s grave after hearing its approximate location from Jiang Motian.

On their journey, Jiang Junhua and his group encountered no danger, which gradually alleviated their tense nerves. Jiang Junhua told the other three Loose Cultivators, "It seems we’re really lucky this time. We haven’t encountered a single threat so far. Maybe we’ll actually get our hands on the treasure in the Sword God’s grave."

The three Loose Cultivators were equally excited. The Sword God was a legend from the Ancient Era, and the treasures in his grave would undoubtedly be abundant. One slightly plump Loose Cultivator said, "Young Master Jiang, if we really find treasure in the Sword God’s grave, how about we split half for the three of us? That shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?"

Jiang Junhua smirked inwardly but said aloud, "Of course. If we truly find the treasure, I’ll only take half."

"Let’s stop for a moment." Jiang Junhua suddenly said.

Jiang Junhua’s gaze shifted to his left where a massive towering tree stood. He sensed some movement behind it and pointed at the towering tree, saying, "Let’s go over there and take a look. I’ve been leading us the entire way; now it’s your turn, isn’t it?"

The three Loose Cultivators couldn’t argue with Jiang Junhua’s words since he indeed had been leading the way. Reluctantly, they walked ahead of Jiang Junhua and cautiously approached the towering tree.

After Jiang Junhua and the three Loose Cultivators passed the enormous tree, the sight of Shui Menghan sitting on the ground and Ye Chenfeng enveloped in a purple glow came into view.

According to Jiang Motian, both Ye Chenfeng and Shui Menghan were supposed to be doomed. But since Shui Menghan was alive and well, it proved at least there was no immediate danger nearby. Jiang Junhua quickly moved past the three Loose Cultivators into the clearing behind the towering tree.

Soon, the gravestone behind Shui Menghan caught the eyes of Jiang Junhua and the three Loose Cultivators. When they saw it inscribed with "The Grave of Sword God, He Wuji," they all held their breath in excitement.

Jiang Junhua proudly said to the three Loose Cultivators beside him, "You see now why listening to me was the right choice? There’s no danger here, and the treasures in the Sword God’s grave are all ours."

As Jiang Junhua’s face flushed with excitement, Shui Menghan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Jiang Junhua, a hint of loathing flashed in her eyes. She glanced worriedly at Ye Chenfeng, who was still shrouded in purple light.

While Jiang Junhua and the three Ocean Gathering Realm third-heaven Loose Cultivators arrived at the Sword God’s grave,

Within the Illusory Realm created by Sword God He Wuji.

After Ye Chenfeng’s Frosty Sword Intent successfully advanced to the second tier, He Wuji showed no intention of continuing to train Ye Chenfeng. Covered in injuries, Ye Chenfeng could feel the Divine Sense of He Wuji in front of him becoming increasingly faint. It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before He Wuji’s Divine Sense completely dissipated.

He Wuji’s right arm moved slightly, and the wounds just inflicted by Ye Chenfeng immediately healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at Ye Chenfeng and said, "Your talent surpasses mine in my younger days. If I were still alive, I would definitely take you as a disciple. It would certainly be interesting to train a disciple like you and watch you grow day by day."

The injuries covering Ye Chenfeng’s body also completely healed. After all, this wasn’t the real world but just an Illusory Realm created by He Wuji. Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but say, "Senior He..."

He Wuji waved his hand, interrupting Ye Chenfeng, and continued, "Kid, even if you died by my hands just now, you wouldn’t have become a fool in reality. I merely wanted to push your potential to the limit; otherwise, you wouldn’t have elevated your Ice Sword Intent to the second tier in such a short time."

"I don’t have much time left. Since your Unyielding Sword Intent isn’t awakened yet, you can’t wield it. Let me teach you another sword technique."

Saying this, He Wuji seemed to sink into memory, his expression shifting between smiles and pain. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "At thirty, I embarked on the path of the Sword Dao. By forty, I had made some progress. At fifty, I obtained a Combat Skill called ’The Unfettered Sword.’

He Wuji paused slightly in his speech: "At sixty, I achieved a minor accomplishment in ’The Unfettered Sword,’ becoming invincible among those of the same level."

"By eighty, I achieved a major accomplishment in ’The Unfettered Sword,’ overcoming even those of higher levels!"

"At a hundred, I comprehended Unyielding Sword Intent, after which I remained undefeated!"

He Wuji took a deep breath and said in a resonant voice: "The great river eastward flows, washing away all ancient heroic figures!"

"Like an artist’s painting, how many heroes arise in these times!"

He Wuji’s expression revealed overwhelming momentum at times and deep lament at others.

His first sentence meant that the grand river flows eastward, erasing the glory of all ancient peak powers; the second conveyed the idea that the splendid scenery is like a vivid painting, producing many heroes in its wake.

He Wuji sighed and said, "Kid, no matter how mighty your strength becomes, someday you’ll also be buried in the earth. In this world, countless geniuses are born every day. Unless you transcend the cycle of reincarnation, reaching Eternal Life."

The depth of He Wuji’s voice struck Ye Chenfeng, making him deeply reflective.

To reach Eternal Life?

Ye Chenfeng’s mindset underwent subtle changes at that moment. From the past until now, he had been forced to improve his strength, but now he understood that without enough power, lifespan would be short-lived. He not only needed to reach Eternal Life himself but also wanted his loved ones and women to achieve it, living freely and without worries in this world.

"Thank you, Senior He, your words have enlightened me a lot." Ye Chenfeng solemnly said.

He Wuji waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. These are just some insights I realized during my lifetime."

"The sword technique I want to teach you is ’The Unfettered Sword.’ From the age of fifty, I’ve been cultivating it until I comprehended the Unyielding Sword Intent at a hundred, using only ’The Unfettered Sword’ against my opponents for fifty years."

"A sword isn’t necessarily better if it’s sharper. If you can effortlessly defeat opponents with a blunt sword, that’s true Sword Dao. Remember, the pinnacle of Sword Dao is the absence of a sword that surpasses the presence of one."

"’The Unfettered Sword’ consists of only three moves, but each is extraordinarily exquisite. Take your time comprehending it!" With a gentle wave of his right hand, He Wuji sent a white light into Ye Chenfeng’s brow. Instantly, another set of memories appeared in Ye Chenfeng’s mind, which should be the method for cultivating ’The Unfettered Sword.’

"Alright, kid, that’s all I can teach you. I hope you become the first to transcend the cycle of reincarnation and reach Eternal Life!"

After saying this, He Wuji’s figure became somewhat intangible, his last remaining strand of Divine Sense rapidly fading away.
