Sword Peak!

Upwards to the peak of the sword peak was a small path. It was curving and spreading, and it was somewhat rugged. The entire sword faction was halfway up the mountain. Lan Yun had said that because of the moderate amount of sword energy halfway up the mountain, it was the most suitable for those in the spirit realm to train.

Pu Xuan, Shen Tianlan, and Lan Yun all looked at me, waiting for my decision.

The sword faction disciples would also usually meditate and meditate at this time. In the middle of the night, the Yin Qi would be the heaviest, and this sword qi would be slightly discounted. If one were to ascend the peak to search for Cloud-Stepping Flower, most people would choose to spend the night in safety.

They are waiting for me. Should I choose the time when my Yang energy is at its peak to do something that ordinary people do not dare to do, or should I just take the night road as a precaution?

To be honest, I wanted to go up at noon. Firstly, I wanted to show my strength, and secondly, I wanted to experience the sword aura of the sword summit.

However, after thinking about it briefly, I decided to head there again in the evening. I would first find the Cloud-Stepping Flower in the middle of the night, complete the mission, and then experience the sword aura from the Sword Summit.

Pu Xuan and the rest didn't have any objections when they heard I wanted to climb the mountain in the evening, but Luo Zhifeng and some of the people beside him had looks of disdain in their eyes.

Lan Yun tugged on the corner of my clothes, his eyes still showing some worry.

”Don't try to be brave, find the Cloud-Stepping Flower and come down. The senior brothers have also gone up there before, and the sword qi will dissipate for about two hours, and then you will be able to find it. For me, do not get injured, and remember, if you find it, immediately come down, I will be waiting for you here.”

His words sounded like he was about to ascend the mountain of swords, but it seemed more or less the same. The sword qi was like a knife, easily slicing through the skin of a person's clothes.

”Hmm, don't worry. Don't you have any confidence in me? ”Be good, go back to your room and wait for me to marry you!”

Raising his head to take a look, he realized that Shenjun had already passed.

”Teacher, Uncle Shen, Lan'er, I'm going.” Nodding my head, I look back at Lan Yun, who was extremely worried, with feigned nostalgia. Then, I resolutely set off on the road up the mountain.

The woman was so strange. She clearly knew that the danger wasn't too great, but when it came to people she cared for, that worry would increase by too much. However, it was precisely because of that that that they appeared even more adorable.

The mountain roads were rugged, but I, who was unable to stop the Great Perfection of the Elixir Pill, climbed dozens of feet in a few jumps.

I didn't feel anything when I took a few steps, but when I reached a certain height, I realized that the strength of the sword aura had reached a level where I could cut my clothes. As he walked, he suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and from time to time, his clothes and face and arms would be cut. Those who didn't know about this would definitely find it eerie and terrifying. Circulating his Spiritual Energy, he covered his entire body with a layer of Ling Kai. However, there were no more injuries caused by the sword energy.

Above the sword peak, although the sword qi was everywhere, there was still a lush vegetation. However, there were a lot of trees called sword pines, which were extremely hard, with leaves that were like swords, they were about a foot long, and there were many of them. If one looked carefully, one would see that the leaves and blades, although not sharp, were not much different from ordinary daggers.

There was also a type of moss that was densely packed on top of the mountain rocks. It was like needles or thorns, almost an inch in length! He had heard Lan Yun say that this was called needle moss. Within the borders of the Di Kingdom, it was like stepping on clouds and flowers, a unique item to the sword faction.

I didn't know much about the strange flowers and herbs. Lan Yun didn't mention it, so I didn't know about it, but I was a little embarrassed about my own inexperience, and secretly decided to stay in the White Jade Gate's library for two days after we got back. I would look at all of these herbs and medicines in my head, and I didn't want to remember them completely.

The mountain path wound around the sword peak like a snake, and they were basically going up in circles. However, this was also good, because they could check every inch of the road they passed through.

Soon it was dark and I couldn't find any signs of stepping on the clouds, but I was in no hurry. There was still about a night left, enough time.

The more they walked, the more weeds grew on the road up. It seemed like there were less and less people who came to clean up, which also meant that within the sword faction, there were very few people who could reach this height. I roughly estimated that the height I was at was about five hundred feet from the mountainside. Looking down, I could see that it was covered by the clouds and I couldn't see anything. At this moment, Ling Kai, who was on my body, seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Taking a deep breath, I let go of Ling Kai, placed several air shields around me, and then quickly walked forward.

Finally, they went another hundred or so feet, but the road was gone. I was elated. If no one walked on the road after that, no one would be able to pluck the Cloud-Stepping Flower. It would be extremely beneficial to me.

While he was lost in thought, he heard a soft ”peng peng” sound coming from his surroundings. Pieces of cloth fluttered in the air, and several footmarks of blood appeared on his body. Amidst my shock, I hurriedly cast several Qi shields to examine my wounds. It was a good thing that the wounds were shallow. With the help of spiritual energy, all the wounds disappeared in the time it took for half an incense stick to burn. It was a pity that my clothes were still on my body.
