“Senior, please let me see you off down the mountain.” Fang Qiu admired the elder and respectfully sent him down the mountain.
When they went down the mountain, Fang Qiu found that after the elder used this move, his spirit was obviously drooping.
After all, as an ordinary person, after three years of cultivating his energy, Qi, and spirit, it was inevitable for him to be dispirited.
The elder did not refuse.
However, when he walked to the mountain pass with Fang Qiu, the elder waved his hand and said, “Well, it’s okay. I’ll go down the mountain myself.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.
“Go and sit under the Sword Enlightenment Stele for seven days. If you get nothing in seven days, just take your leave,” the elder finally said.
“Thank you, Senior.” Fang Qiu immediately nodded in thanks.
He knew that the elder was giving him a hint.
Seven days? It seemed that it would pass in the blink of an eye!
After sending off the elder, Fang Qiu turned back to the valley.
The elder also went down the mountain, humming a tune. In fact, he still had a small secret. The reason why he asked Fang Qiu to clean up and wipe the stele was that he actually helped Fang Qiu adjust his mentality.
Only with inner peace could he comprehend the stele. If he couldn’t even do this, it could only mean that he didn’t have inner peace. How could he comprehend it?
Moreover, if Fang Qiu had inner peace but couldn’t take his move in the end, he would never tell Fang Qiu about comprehending for seven days.
Everything was part of the elder’s plan. In his opinion, Fang Qiu was really a good young man. “I wish he could gain something.”
Fang Qiu came to the huge stele in the valley again.
When he was wiping it, he carefully observed that there was no other word on this inky black stele except for the huge word “sword”. Rather than comprehending the stele, it was better to say comprehending the word ‘Sword’!
Arriving in front of the stele, Fang Qiu sat down cross-legged.
He adjusted his breathing and began to comprehend quietly all night.
The next morning, some people suddenly appeared on the Sword-hidden Mountain.
In fact, it’s not that they appeared suddenly here because they were all sent by the major forces in Wulin to guard here all year round. Although it was a legend, the major forces always believed that this legend was real, so they sent people to guard here. When it was appropriate, they would pick some people from their own forces to comprehend and see if they could figure anything out.
However, this was only a secret shared by the major forces.
Of course, the people who guarded here had also tried to comprehend, but they could not comprehend anything at all. Therefore, their only task was to come to the mountain every day to see if there was anything wrong.
It was the same today. These people just came here as usual. They thought that it would be the same as before on the mountain, and there must be no one else. But as soon as they arrived, they saw a figure sitting in front of the stele.
The people of the major forces were stunned at first and hurriedly reported it.
The message was sent fast in this era.
As soon as they reported it, the major forces received the message immediately.
However, after seeing the photos sent by spies, all the major forces were stunned.
To ensure the accuracy of the news, all the people sent by the major forces tried their best to take the front photo of Fang Qiu. Fang Qiu was comprehending, so he didn’t pay attention to these people who were taking photos.
In the photos sent by the spy, everyone from the major forces could clearly see that familiar face.
“John Doe?”
“It’s John Doe!”
“John Doe is at the Sword Enlightenment Stele in the Sword-hidden Mountain?”
“Isn’t he in Southern Yue? Why is he in the Sword-hidden Mountain?”
“When did he return home? Why did he suddenly go to the Sword Enlightenment Stele without any news?”
“Well, Miss Zhan doesn’t seem willing to be alone with me?” Qian Xiao sat on the sofa of an independent private room of a supercar club in the capital, looking at Zhan Lin sitting opposite him, and asked with a smile.
Zhan Lin smiled slightly and said, “How come? How dare I disrespect you?”
“Miss Zhan, don’t tease me. I’m here to talk something serious with you,” Qian Xiao said.
“Is there anything serious to talk about between you and me or the Qian family and the Zhan family?” asked Zhan Lin.
“Of course,” Qian Xiao nodded and said with a smile, “I believe the Zhan family has received the message that John Doe was comprehending the Sword Enlightenment Stele in the Sword-hidden Mountain. What is the Zhan family going to do?”
“Well, are you here to inquire about the information?” Zhan Lin shook her head and smiled.
“The Qian Family is going to wait and see,” Qian Xiao directly said, “The Sword Enlightenment Stele is a legend. However, since the day he appeared in Wulin, everything that John Doe did was very unexpected. Originally, people in Wulin did not pay much attention to people comprehending the Sword Enlightenment Stele, but now, the person who went to comprehend it was John Doe, so…”
“So what?” Zhan Lin smiled indifferently and said, “so, does the Qian Family want to besiege him or kill him?”
“No!” Qian Xiao shook his head and said, “of course, the Qian Family will not do that. Even if we have this idea, it depends on whether he can comprehend it or not and whether there is anyone who can cooperate with us!”
“Sorry, nobody,” Zhan Lin stood up directly and said with a bored face, “whether John Doe can comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele or not has nothing to do with the Zhan family.”
Then she walked away.
“It has nothing to do with you, which means that you will wait and see, right?” Looking at Zhan Lin’s back, Qian Xiao suddenly smiled.
On a pavilion near the water in an extremely luxurious manor in the northwest, a young man was kneeling on the ground, facing a gaunt middle-aged woman. She also knelt on the ground, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and slowly twisting them.
The young man said softly, “John Doe has gone to comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele.”
“As was expected,” the middle-aged woman opened her eyes and looked at the young man, “they all know that he will go sooner or later.”
To look carefully, she was the woman who sat with Diwu Mingchuan and the other three people when Fang Qiu fought with Yun Yangzi.
“We…” After saying this, the young man stopped again. He was obviously a little hesitant.
“The opportunity is destined. We can’t take his things away. He can’t get ours either. Let him go.”
The middle-aged woman responded, then closed her eyes and moved her mouth slightly. She continued to twist the Buddha beads while reciting something.
The young man got up and left.
In the lobby at Diwu family in Nanjiang, Diwu Mingchuan, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding an ancient book in his hand, immediately put down the book when he heard the servant’s report. He looked at Diwu Qian, who had just arrived, and said, “Why did John Doe go to comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele? Originally, I planned to wait for a few years. When you are stronger, I will let you have a try. I didn’t expect that John Doe would go first. It seems that there is someone behind this guy. Otherwise, he would never know about the Sword-hidden Mountain!”
Diwu Qian, who had just sat down, was immediately confused.
“Isn’t it a legend that the Sword Enlightenment Stele in the Sword-hidden Mountain?” Diwu Qian said with a puzzled face, “it has been a legend of two thousand years. For so many years, no one has comprehended anything, let alone seen the legendary sword.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a legend or a fact. It’s good to have a try, and legend may not be a legend,” Diwu Mingchuan said with a smile.
He knew the existence of the sword guard, so he did not believe that it was fake.
“Then, should I go there now?” Diwu Qian asked.
“You’re not strong enough yet,” Diwu Mingchuan shook his head and said, “let’s wait and see. It depends on fate. Just a sword. Your own strength is the most important!”
“I see.” Diwu Qian nodded gently.
Yun Yangzi received a note from a servant in a wooden house for closed-door training in Pear Garden. After opening it to see, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
“My master said that unless I’m a guru, I’m not allowed to comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele. I didn’t expect you to go first,” Yun Yangzi shook his head with a smile and added, “since that’s the case, I’ll let you try it first. If you get it, it means that it doesn’t belong to me. If you can’t, maybe it would be mine.”
In addition to these top forces, other forces in Wulin also received this message later. Although the message spread fast or slowly, as time went by, all people in Wulin gradually knew the message.
“John Doe is at the Sword Enlightenment Stele in the Sword-hidden Mountain?”
“What kind of place is the Sword-hidden Mountain? What is the Sword Enlightenment Stele?”
“Isn’t John Doe in Southern Yue? Has he returned home?”
On the Wulin forum, everyone began to talk about it as the news spread.
However, because the legend of the Sword-hidden Mountain was too long ago, most people on the Wulin forum did not know what kind of place the Sword-hidden Mountain was.
Under this situation, those who knew the legend quickly explained it to everyone.
“The Sword-hidden Mountain is located in the Tongnan City, Jiangjing Province. Legend has it that there is a divine sword in the mountain, and the incantation of controlling the divine sword is on the stele. As long as you can comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele, you can get the divine sword. But it has been more than 2,000 years, and this legend has been passed down, but has never been proven.”
Everyone suddenly understood that there was such a magical place in Huaxia.
“Why didn’t anyone say anything before? Damn, these major forces are in charge of the resources and take advantage of them. I should have gone there earlier if I knew it!”
“Yes, if they told us earlier, I should have gone. Maybe I would be the owner of that divine sword.”
However, as soon as he said that, he was immediately mocked by others.
“It is just a legend. It’s hard to say if there’s a divine sword or not. Are you serious?”
“Ha-ha, it’s been more than 2,000 years. Even if there’s really a divine sword, it must be rusty. Even if someone takes it out, the first thing he has to do is to hand it over to the country!”
“It’s an antique of more than 2,000 years old. Even if it’s covered with rust, it’s definitely worth a lot of money.”
“I want to have a try.”
“No, I have to try my luck. Even if the divine sword was useless, I could sell it for at least a high price, right?”
Just as everyone was mocking each other, another message came out and everyone instantly fell silent.
“According to reliable information, every once in a while, there will be people from major forces who comprehend in the Sword-hidden Mountain, but others don’t know.”
This message stunned everyone and they burst out a curse from the bottom of their hearts.
“Damn! These big forces are in charge of the resources and use them all. They don’t leave any for us at all!”
“I was wondering why I didn’t hear it. It must have been monopolized by this group of people!”
“Maybe there really is a divine sword! Otherwise, how could it be monopolized! Go, we must go!”
Everyone was so angry that they wanted to comprehend in the Sword-hidden Mountain and see if they could get the opportunity.
“No one was born an expert.
“Maybe I would be a hidden expert!”
It wasn’t just the lone warriors who didn’t have the strength, but also some second-class forces who planned to comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele.
But when they thought of John Doe, they couldn’t help but feel nervous since this guy was too weird!
