Chapter 307 (2/2)
There was someone at the Hulan Sea outside the Snow Mountain.
The middle-aged man looked at the lakeside in front of him and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He then took removed the hat that he had worn for many days, revealing his face. He gazed at the distant mountains. His thick eyebrows like black worms furrowed and his red lips like dense blood slightly lifted, revealing a complicated smile.
He once again continued walking against the chilly wind and reached the land beyond the frozen pond. His burly and solid body completely ignored the existence of the rough winds of the Wilderness and marched north, surrounded by a chilling aura.
He did not go fast, but rather quite slowly. Every time he took a step, his foot fell into the frozen and hardened ground of the Wilderness, leaving a deep footprint.
He headed north towards the Tianqi Mountain after leaving the Hulan Sea. With the time pa.s.sing, the chilling aura on the middle-aged man gradually diminished, and each footprint left by him became shallower than the last before they slowly disappeared.
He did not blend himself with the heaven and earth as the Grand Cultivators who knew the destiny did, because what he practiced was not the Taoists Law. He used the terrifying Psyche to completely separate his physical consciousness from the heaven and earth, as if he had turned himself into a stone. If one
If one were to close their eyes, they wouldn't be able to feel his presence at all.
However, there was a sudden movement from the small pond which had remained quiet for a long time.
A burst of slight buzzing sounds was heard at the side of the pond.
These buzzing sounds were like the sound of a wooden dipper bailing the water, it was also like the sound leaves being rustled by the wind.
But it was also like the sound of a hand slowly folding the pages of a book.
”I heard you were enlightened at 13, entered the No Doubts State at 30, broke the Seethrough after three months later and entered the Knowing Destiny State within a day.”
”I heard you climbed the back mountain every day during that 17th year without meeting any obstacles.”
”I heard that when you first climbed the back of the mountain of the Academy, you saw four words outside on Wooden Door.”
”The four words were The benevolent likes water. ”
”So you love to be close to clean streams and quiet ponds in your life.”
”That seems to be the case, even now.”
Ye Su listened to the sound coming from the lakeside of the small pond on the distant mountainside, and silently considered these words in his heart. After making an extremely restful and satisfied sigh, he smilingly took a step forward towards the edge of the Snow-capped Peak.
As he took this step, the thin wooden sword behind him floated into the air with a buzz.
The sun in the sky seemed to turn brighter all of a sudden.
Thousands of beams of light shone on the wooden sword, which made the thin sword give out a dazzling golden light.
A very pure sword style, like a condensed light, came from the top of the Snow-capped Peak. It was calm and powerful, ignoring any s.p.a.ce and distance, and it instantly fell to the small pond that was thousands of feet away!
Someone who could wield such formidable Taoists Law certainly stood at the highest point of the human world, at the top of the Knowing Destiny State. Although they had not yet broken through the realm, they wouldn't be too far away from the Tianqi state.
How many times would people get to witness such powerful Taoist Sword technique in the world?
When the pure sword style fell upon the small pond, the thin ice that encased the water within instantly thickened. Even the tiny hole was frozen at a speed beyond what the naked eye could catch.
The sound of water was long gone, and a slight ”eh” was heard somewhere at the side of the pond, seemingly to had been uttered abruptly.
However, the person who made the sound reacted slowly. It took a while for his lips to move, and the ”eh” sound seemed to be deliberately prolonged. The drawn-out squeak was more like the calling for the protagonist in an opera show's opening sequence.
The middle-aged man at the foot of the mountain slightly frowned. At this moment, he had certainly perceived the sword style. Although he did not know where the sword style meant to stab to, he could vaguely figure out who the person he wanted to stab from all his lifelong cultivation.
He had already arranged countless informants on the Wilderness and even called up the helpers in the Military Ministry. He was sure that the man undoubtedly appeared in Shubi Lake outside the City of Wei some days ago, and now how could he suddenly appear here?
But he did not hesitate. As the strongest man in the human world, he could faintly feel his own fortune. He knew that it was an excellent opportunity for him. Besides, he had his pride. Thus, he ignored the meeting on the Snow-capped Peaks. Though the meeting was known by n.o.body, it was destined to shock the world. He then walked in awe towards the exit of the valley.
A thin mist still enveloped the valley, covering the smooth and steep walls, so perfectly smooth that it seemed like to be a work of men. It also covered the sound of approaching footsteps, but it could never cover the figures of that young man inside.
On the Snow-capped Peak, Ye Su, the successor of the Zhishou Abbey finally met the scholar on the other side of the line. Standing under the Snow-capped Peak, the middle-aged man thought that he would finally get to see the Tomes of Arcane. Thus, he didn't think all the time spent waiting was a waste at all.
Whether it be fourteen years.
Or a whole lifetime.
