65 Chapter 65 A Mountain is still a Mountain (1/2)

”You are bold! Aren't you afraid I will get angry and kill you?”

After staring at Zong Shou for a long while, the owner of the giant blade scoffed coldly. ”However you do have some insight, and also didn't try to lie to me. My blade intent is in fact too heavy in its chiseling ability.”

Zong Shou couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and knew that he had temporarily survived the first obstacle. Sometimes one couldn't randomly flatter others, and the truth had to be said.

He heard this person say in a slightly depressed manner, ”I am Lei Dong. At twenty I comprehended blade intent and was deemed the top blade master in the Central Cloud Continent. At twenty-five I entered the Xiantian Realm and was chased after by various sects and factions. I was the top blade talent in a million years, however after training hard for ten years, my blade skills weakened instead of improving. My mountain and river blade intent is even weaker then when I had just comprehended it. Three years from now I will face off against that person, what can I do? I have gone to so many famous mountains and rivers, seeing hundreds of them. Am I destined to lock myself up for fifty years and not go out to see the world? No, rather than losing my face in front of so many three years later, it's better if I end my life now.”

While he spoke, Zong Shou didn't feel like he had any intentions to praise himself, instead he sounded really sad and depressed.

Zong Shou was originally prepared to keep silent and not say anything, thinking to himself that he had never heard of a person called Lei Dong. During the God Emperor era, just in the Cloud World alone there were hundreds of famous experts, so how could he remember them all?

However, along with the sighs of the giant blade owner, the surrounding air around his body became really unstable. It also made the blood within his body boil, spiritual energy charging in all directions.

Ascended experts, one inhalation and one exhalation could affect Heaven and Earth. He was only slightly sighing, losing control of his breathing slightly, and yet it was something that Zong Shou nearly couldn't take.

His thoughts changed as Zong Shou decided to direct his attention away. Sighing, he shook his head and opened his mouth. ”Since you are certain that the chiseling of your blade intent is too heavy, then think of a way of changing it! What's the point of wallowing in self pity?!”

”Change?” Lei Dong raised his head and looked at him, unable to control his laughter, ”Do you think it is really easy? In your eyes a mountain is mountain, a river is river. In my eyes, they aren't. How do I change? You're just a small marital master, what do you know?”

So that was the case! The corner of Zong Shou's lips rose and knew that this person had reached a bottleneck. If he was right this, person must be a loner.

During normal cultivation, one would naturally see mountains as mountains, rivers as rivers. At his level, the mountains and rivers in his eyes had a sort of law, and he could see the portion behind the surface. Doing so would cause his Mountain and River blade intent to take a step back instead of forward.

If he was a disciple of a big sect with masters to get pointers from, he would be able to get past this stage easily. However, this Lei Dong was stuck at this step and unable to gain any improvement.

Zong Shou hesitated, not knowing whether or not to continue. Although he had huge martial arts experience, if he showed too much he would only incur the jealousy of others. The Lingyun Sect was furious the last time, and Zhao Yanran also lost face.

He thought back to how this guy handed out beast crystals. To be able to observe and admire beautiful rivers and mountains and cultivate such an intent, one had to be a really calm and magnanimous person.

Zong Shou smiled helplessly. Forget it, let's bet on Lei Dong's personality. Giving pointers to him once could be considered sowing good karma. Anyways, this person only needed a few years to break through this barrier.

”Why do you think I know nothing? I don't know why you think the mountain isn't a mountain and the river isn't a river. In my eyes it is just that, there is no change!”

Lei Dong frowned slightly, his eyes giving off a mocking expression, thinking that he was crazy for talking to a thirteen-year old, four-meridian Martial Master.

A half-monster kid, even if he knew something about the path of the sword, how could he understand such deep stuff?

Zong Shou walked over to the giant stone with two blade marks in it. He pulled out his Pine Pattern Wind Sword and slashed out beside the blade mark.

The giant stone was really tough and where the sword light shone, sparks flew and several white lines were drawn out. Zong Shou wasn't discouraged and continued to cut down on the rock with his sword.

Lei Dong originally felt that it was funny, like he was watching an ant trying to carry a rice grain ten times its weight.

Slowly his eyes grew solemn, he sat down as he stared at Zong Shou, only feeling that every action of this boy was deep and filled with meaning.
