Chapter 71 (2/2)
“My brother disciples, I am Li…” Before he finished, the blue holograms suddenly disappeared, leaving him confused.
Su Yuehan offered in a small voice, “Perhaps they only appear if we're riding our horse?”
He thought for a moment but did not dare try it again. Pulling the two horses along, he walked cautiously between the boundary stone markers. When nothing happened, he sighed. “That was probably it, you're… eh, there are words here.”
Su Yuehan rushed over to see that the back of the stone slabs was also carved with words. There were many characters and adages with finally large, fierce lines at the bottom reading: The boundary will deactivate if visitor gets off horse. Rulebreakers will be killed!
Li Chengfeng walked up to the carved words and touched them. It felt cold without the magic repulsion he expected. He then traced his finger along the words and realised the words seemed to be exactly the width of his finger.
“Were these words carved using finger chisels?” Li Chengfeng was shocked. He took out his bone spear and scratched its tip on the stone. A white scratched appeared on the surface. He gritted his teeth, ensured there was no one around, then slashed it hard!
Scratch! Sparks flew from the friction between bone and stone. The sharp bone could only leave a shallow scratch on the stone!
Li Chengfeng was stunned!
His sharp bone spear could usually puncture regular stone but here was just a tiny dent as small as a fingernail!
All these words were carved from flesh chisels!
Such mastery in magic was astounding!
He focused to read the words on the stone. “…during the war, Spiritual Mountain's founders went to war with various leaders to the north. Three wars against Heaven's Corner demonic beasts were fought, five battles in the Nine h.e.l.ls, thirteen battles against Dijon Kingom, nine battles against Hunqi Kingdom, leading up to a total of a hundred and thirty-two battles without a single defeat!”
This short description radiated pride and glory. Li Cehngfeng could almost see the bodies and blood from the wars fought by the Spiritual Mountain Sect!
“Indeed… they live up to their names, and they are proud of it!” sighed Li Chengfeng.
In the past, he did not have much respect for the Spiritual Mountain Sect because of youthful arrogance and lack of close contact with the sect, plus his contempt for cultivators. This one encounter with their stone boundary markers was enough to send chills.
He took a step back and gazed at them deeply. “I wonder if the Cleansing Moon Sect was this magnificent back in the day!”
It was a pity he only heard about their magnificence through bits and pieces of his parents' conversation. Only his dead ancestors knew the rest of the story.
Li Chengfeng stood on the spot in a daze as he fell deep in thought.
