Chapter 38: [Even Sword Qj Plays Hide-and-Seek]

“Look at me once, and I’ll die?” Lu Xun muttered under his breath.
He can’t actually die, as he still has two revives left, but that’s another story.
As for why Shen Yan believed Lu Xun would die, it wasn’t that the Sword Qi would attack him, but just simply the fixation of Sword Qi on him was a burden too heavy for life to bear!
This half-path Sword Qi acting as the first ring of the Demon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array was not just a decoration.
Put it precisely, up till now in the development of the Demon Sect, all who challenged the array perished at the first ring, none having ever broken this half-path Sword Qi.
And this was just half-path, if it were the entire Righteous Sect Sword Qi…
He dare not think about it.
“Young junior master, are you ready?” After a while, Shen Yan asked in his hoarse voice.
His voice sounded like a screaming chicken.
Especially when he was serious, it sounded like a…dedicated screaming chicken.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun inhaled deeply and nodded his head.
Shen Yan said no more, bringing two fingers together like a sword, and then swiped past Lu Xun’s eyes.
Nothing earth-shattering happened, he only felt a sense of dislocation, and then the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
Lu Xun’s first feeling was that the sky seemed to have darkened, but the swipe of Shen Yan’s fingers seemed to tear a crack in the infinite darkness.
He was now supposed to look through this small crack, to catch a glimpse of the sword qi hidden inside Lead Peak!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and he saw the sword qi, and saw the unparalleled half-path sword qi in all its glory!
He could hardly describe the sight.
If he had to summarize it, it would be Heaven and Earth Sword!
Moreover, Lu Xun only had a fleeting glimpse, so he didn’t see much.
Even so, his spirit began to fluctuate.
This half-path sword qi contained too many things that he couldn’t understand at the moment, they were far apart in terms of realm.
What surprised him the most was that just in an instant, he saw the sword qi, the sword qi also saw him, and then… the sword qi turned its head, suddenly disappeared, and hid itself!
“Boom!” Lu Xun’s mind retreated like a tide, and was forcefully pulled back by
Shen Yan.
In mid-air, Lu Xun’s body suddenly shook and trembled a few times.
“Is it over?” He was a bit stunned.
It was agreed that he would only take a glance, but this half-path sword qi…
why did it start playing hide and seek?
As you gaze into the abyss, the abyss… became shy.
Lu Xun was completely at a loss at this moment.
As for Shen Yan beside him, his complexion was not particularly good, obviously, just leading Lu Xun to have a glimpse of sword qi was a great consumption for him.
As to the reaction of that half-path sword qi, he was unaware for the time being.
Shen Yan wiped the fine sweat beads on his bald head with his sleeve and calmed the genuine qi within his body, he asked: “Junior master…any gains?”
How much Lu Xun gained was a matter of his own fortune.
When he asked, he found that Lu Xun was a bit distracted.
Lu Xun was indeed distracted at this moment, because he was pleasantly surprised to find that even though he only caught a glimpse of the sword qi, the game system regarded him as having encountered a great chance and rewarded him with a special attribute—[Swordsmanship Aptitude+l]!
“Heavenly Dust” is such a game, giving you a sense of truly being in an immortals’ world.
Since it’s an immortals’ world, there are chances, fortunes, and your own— [Enlightenment]!
And how does the game convey this to players?
That is by adding special attribute points!
Lu Xun himself was still in a daze in his mind, but the game system judged him as having achieved Enlightenment!
To be honest, if you asked him to recall what the half-path sword qi looked like now, he already couldn’t remember.
That glance was too hurried, and this half-path sword qi was too powerful, he even had a sense that he couldn’t face it directly.
But that mysterious feeling in his heart was still there, it seemed that he had really understood something, but he couldn’t put into words when asked.
This might well be what is known as—[Lost in Ecstasy].
Grasping the essence, but forgetting the form!
The special attribute points directly increased, following[Luck 1],
[Enlightenment 1], [Charisma 10], [Swordsmanship Aptitude+l]appeared!
A cooling sensation churned within Lu Xun’s body, first passing through his limbs and bones, then streaming into his brow.
All these were seen by Shen Yan, he waved his right hand and a barrier separated Lu Xun from the outside world, preventing him from being interfered with.
He had just acted on a whim and exerted a lot of effort to let Junior Master take a glimpse of the Master’s sword qi.
But Master’s sword qi was too profound, even he only grasped a small part of its true meaning.
In theory, given Lu Xun’s current realm, it would be difficult to gain any insight.
Placed on Earth, that would be watching a big hand’s smooth operation, shouting wow in your mouth but understanding nothing in your brain, just feeling that it’s really awesome!
But Junior Master did receive a great chance!
“Could it be that Junior Master is a swordsman genius?” thought Shen Yan.
“Yes, maybe it’s the legendary Natural Sword Embryo!”
At this point, the commotion caused by Lu Xun was a bit big.
The rest of the Demon Sect’s peak masters hurried over, and after looking at their junior master, they were all amazed.
“Just one glance, and he’s enlightened?” exclaimed Luo Wanqiu, the peak master of the Water Cloud Peak.
At this moment, they could not hear Lu Xun’s voice, nor could they disturb him.
Sima Chuan, the oldest peak master of Evergreen Peak and the eldest senior brother among everyone present, took a look around Lu Xun, and said: “He’s just at the second layer of the Qi Consumption Technique, but he’s already about to take the first step on the path of swordsmanship. Who among the
young people of any other sects in the entire Heavenly Dust Continent can do
Having said that, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then everyone else joined in the hearty laughter.
It was Yue Heshan, the master of the Leaping Peak, however, whose line of thought was the most skewed, he couldn’t help saying: “With Junior Master’s talent, the day he sees his Qi Sea, it should be at least on the scale of a river, thus, the bet should be considered my win!”
To think of the bet at this time, really lived up to his name as the Charitable Gambling King who always loses. Feeling that he seemed to have won a round, he couldn’t help but smile.
The strangest thing was that when he put it that way, Shen Yan and the other peak masters’ thoughts were really derailed!
The few shameless old men even began to discuss it passionately among themselves. As they discussed it, they almost started quarrelling!
If it wasn’t for Shen Yan using his genuine qi to wrap up Lu Xun, shielding him from the noise outside, he might have been messed up beyond repair.
In fact, these shameless old men were arguing on the surface, but their hearts were focused on Lu Xun.
This is not so, Lu Xun’s body suddenly shook, and they immediately stopped talking.
In mid-air, Lu Xun opened his eyes.
In an instant, a semi-transparent wave spread outwards in all directions from him as the centre, like ripples diffusing.
This diffusion covered dozens of miles in radius!
The next moment, a celestial phenomenon happened!
