‘Sword Art Mastery (1/3000): A natural-born sword cultivator, skillful and proficient in every aspect of swordsmanship, all for a deadly strike.1

As Han Ye looked at the panel in front of him, lines of anxiety appeared on his forehead.

Three thousand points, are they serious?

How long will it take him to gather them?

He had a hard time gathering this attribute.

When Han Ye was collecting attributes, the only change he felt was a faint clarity in his mind, as for other differences, he hadn’t noticed any yet.

Seeing that the Xue Owl was already dead, Chu Xianyu gracefully sheathed her sword, straightened her skirt, directed her clear gaze towards Han Ye, quickly looked away and murmured “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, it’s all my fault... I shouldn’t have followed you...” Han Ye started to apologize but before he could finish, Chu Xianyu had already turned around and left.

He was left speechless.

She was as aloof as ever.

However, he now realized that her aloof demeanor came at a price.

From Han Ye’s perspective, having lived two lives, this weakness of Chu Xianyu might be related to her past experiences, and there may be some trauma in her heart.

Although he didn’t understand why she needed to veil during battles, now it didn’t stop him from continuing his climb.

“Let’s go too.”

He said to the others.

“Alright.”

Wang Da Niu agreed and everyone prepared to officially begin their journey up the Immortal Mountain.

“Why did Chu Xianyu always cover her face when she was fighting?”

“Could it be because she’s shy?”

“Impossible. Did you see how swiftly she killed the Xue Owl? There’s no way that was out of shyness.”

On the mountain path, everyone was engaged in a conversation.

They seemed to be very interested in this topic.

Or rather, they were interested in Chu Xianyu’s background and what was happening in Fuyao State.

They were all small figures in the county. Some of them would probably never leave the county if it weren’t for this opportunity.

Thinking that they were about to join a sect along with such a high-ranking person, they felt excited.

As if they were about to become members of the cultivator’s circle. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The team’s enthusiasm grew and they pushed forward towards the mountaintop.

“Wait a minute. Have you noticed something strange about this mountain?”

Han Ye suddenly halted and spoke out to the others.

“Brother Han, have you discovered something?”

Gao Qichang quickly turned serious and asked gravely.

“Well, I just feel like my body is getting heavier. What’s going on?”

Wang Da Niu, who was leading the way, clenched his fists, wiped sweat off his brow, and paused to express his concern.

Despite being in great shape, he was already soaking his clothing with sweat and panting heavily.

“I’ve noticed it too, it wasn’t very obvious in the beginning, but as we were climbing higher, it became very clear, and the pressure on our bodies became heavier.”

Liu Lingqi nodded in agreement.

When the others saw Wang Da Niu struggling, they inferred that the higher they went, the heavier they would become. The climb up the mountain was much harder than they had initially thought.

Upon hearing the noise, Chu Xianyu slowly opened her eyes, looked at Han Ye’s disheveled appearance, hesitated for a while, as if thinking of something, and finally spoke up.

“I have a mantra that can empty the mind and calm down completely. Would you like me to teach it to you?” she asked.

Upon hearing her words, Han Ye seemed surprised. He hadn’t expected Chu Xianyu to assist him.

As if afraid Han Ye would misunderstand, Chu Xianyu added, “Consider it a thank you for helping me get back my Douli.”

“Alright!”

Han Ye didn’t refuse.

Anything that could help him climb the mountain was welcome at this time.

Reciting the mantra taught by Chu Xianyu, Han Ye felt his previously fatigued mind relax and he regained his calm.

The True Brahman Calming Mantra.

It was a simple string of five words, but its effect was surprisingly excellent.

He had never felt such tranquility in his heart before. He fell into a state devoid of all desires and even the pressure on his body seemed to diminish slightly.

He no longer had to crawl up the mountain.

This mantra was useful!

Han Ye opened his eyes and looked up towards the top of the mountain, feeling a renewed sense of energy.

At this time, Chu Xianyu also stood up.

Han Ye was filled with astonishment.

She could actually stand up and climb the mountain at this point. Why was her Dao Heart so unwavering?

‘Picked up attribute: Dao Heart Like a Rock+1’

‘Picked up attribute: Dao Heart Like a Rock+1′

Picked up attribute: Dao Heart Like a Rock+1’

Wisp after wisp of blue light orbs, fell down from behind Chu Xianyu.

Han Ye’s eyes lit up, and he quickly picked them up.

As the attributes were absorbed, the surrounding pressure gradually diminished, and Han Ye felt a weight lift off him.

He rejoiced in his heart.

The effect of this ‘Dao Heart Like a Rock’ truly worked, even in a rule system like Mt. Wendao, it couldn’t be stopped.

His heart became even more stable, filled with newfound confidence.

He followed in Chu Xianyu’s footsteps and continued to trudge towards the mountain’s peak.

Time slowly passed.

The sky gradually darkened.

On top of the Immortal Mountain, Yun Xuzi and the grey-robed elder sat in the pavilion, engrossed in a game of chess.

Yun Xuzi would occasionally cast a glance towards the foot of the mountain.

His eyes were filled with anticipation.

Yet, as darkness fell, he seemed somewhat disappointed.

Despite the two appearing calm and composed, their hearts were rather impatient.

At this moment, Yun Xuzi blandly asked, “Jiang Taixu, do you think the person who is supposed to overcome this tribulation will be the first one to reach the top?”

“It’s possible,” replied the elder referred to as Jiang Taixu slowly. “Since the person is supposed to overcome the tribulation, there should be something special about him. His talents may not be the best, and his personality may not be striking, but his Dao Heart should take precedence.”

“Shall we individually probe and test?” Yun Xuzi enquired, hesitation apparent in his hand as he paused over the chessboard.

“No, we must let things take their natural course; otherwise, we will be interfering with the fate.” Jiang Taixu dismissively waved his hand.

Hearing this, Yun Xuzi shook his head, “Always being vague and mysterious, no wonder no one wants to learn your Celestial Divination technique.”

Shortly after, Yun Xuzi shifted his gaze outside the pavilion, as if he had sensed something coming from the stone stairs. He stroked his beard and chuckled, saying, “It seems, the first one to reach the peak, is about to arrive.”
