Chapter 58: 058, [Craziness and Calmness]
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An innate sword body! Indeed, this phenomenon must absolutely be due to an innate sword body!
Disciples like Qian MO from One Sword Mountain, possessing a predestined sword body (Nota Bene: equivalent to having Swordsmanship Aptitude 9 in a game), were being cultivated as future Sect Leaders of One Sword Mountain.
But people like Shen Yan and others felt that compared to their junior apprentice, Qian Mo’s swordsmanship aptitude certainly fell short.
When Qian MO ascended the Sword Tomb, an unusual event was also triggered inside the tomb, but it wasn’t as exaggerated as the current situation with Lu Xun!
All the inferior magical swords positioned on the 99th steps on Hidden Mountain were violently trembling. It was quite clear that every magical sword had chosen Lu Xun, all selecting him!
Look at the frequency of that trembling, so enchanting, as if they were saying, “Choose me! Choose me!”
And Lu Xun merely glanced once and then lifted his leg to take another step.
The moment this step was taken, the inferior magical swords stopped trembling, as if nothing had just happened.
On Hidden Mountain, Lu Xun continued his ascent.
When he reached the 199th step, he saw a large number of intermediate grade magic tools.
Just like before, all other magic tools had no reaction, only those intermediate magical swords began to tremble.
With his face calm and composed, his heart was screaming, “Mother * [censored] *ing Hell!”
Because he was fully aware that these magical swords were trembling entirely due to the small sword within his sword heart.
The little sword seemed to have realized that Lu Xun was here to pick up the magical treasures. It held no hostility towards other magical treasures, but for the swords… They caused a hell lot of jealousy!
Its possessiveness towards Lu Xun was very strong, so in its eyes, all the other magical swords appeared as lurid and detestable vixens, inviting disgust.
Conversely, the attitude revealed by these magical swords was – they were really eager to make contact with the little sword.
The feelings were as if they wanted to entirely devour it!
Thus, the issue wasn’t about Lu Xun being chosen; they were envious of the little sword inside Lu Xun’s sword heart.
But Lu Xun was well aware that if he really went to touch any sword, either the sword would fly away, or he would fly away. Either way, there wouldn’t be a good outcome.
So, without turning his head, he continued upwards.
“Why hasn’t any magic treasure other than the swords chosen me?” Lu Xun mused in his heart.
As for these magic tools, he indeed didn’t possess too many desires.
But the fact that not a single one of them was interested in him made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Ah, men.
In the region of the intermediate grade magic tools, Lu Xun didn’t linger. After casually taking a glance, he continued towards the top of the mountain.
At the 299th step, the superior grade magic tools had arrived.
For most of the inner sect disciples and players, superior grade magic tools already seem like a good choice.
The Swan Feather owned by Murong Yan was that kind of superior magical sword, taken from Hidden Mountain.
The number of magical treasures in this area is much less than the previous two areas.
The magical swords were still trembling, while other types of magical treasures remained utterly unaffected.
This made Lu Xun somewhat anxious.
Going by the current situation, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to wield a sword. He’s on the path of being the “sword person” who goes by the philosophy of “I am the sword.”
So, his purpose of ascending Hidden Mountain was to obtain other types of equipment. He could consider anything apart from swords, he just wanted to swindle a piece.
But the current situation didn’t look very promising! The equipment he didn’t need was continuously beckoning him, as if they were saying, “Little brother, come quickly!”
As for the attitudes of the usable equipment…
“Dumbass, get lost!”
Moreover, logically speaking, if magic tools ignore you, spiritual tools are even less likely to pay you any attention.
Lu Xun was not convinced, he gritted his teeth and continued to climb and comforted himself: “After all, I did not plan to consider the yellow outfit, it’s not a big deal.”
When he got to the 399th step, he was in spiritual tool territory, covered with blue equipment.
It was obviously clear that the number of spiritual tools was much fewer than magic tools. There were only 17 spiritual swords.
All 17 of the spiritual swords were similarly trembling, and due to their more potent spirituality than magical swords, they even emitted sword hums!
Lu Xun just stood there for about a minute, and then heaved a sigh and continued his ascent.
“I don’t even know what that little sword that accidentally condensed is in my word heart. Why is every single sword showing strong desire towards it?” Lu Xun thought in his heart.
What surprised him most was, compared to the magical swords, the spiritual swords seemed like they were even more eager.
“That’s not right…” As Lu Xun continued his journey, he thought: “Does it mean that, for spiritual swords, they need the little sword inside me more?”
Looking now, it should be just like that.
At the 499th step, the quantity of equipment was even more lesser. And there were only eleven intermediate spiritual swords.
That was all because the Demon Sect had a large family business; otherwise, there wouldn’t be this many spiritual tools.
And the result once again disappointed Lu Xun. He could only continue ascending the mountain, heading towards the 599th step.
From the perspective of Shen Yan and others, their junior apprentice had an exceeding moral quality and composure, completely unswayed. Neither magic tools nor spiritual tools could attract his sight, not even for an extra moment!
But whether it was magical swords or spiritual swords, they were all rushing towards him in the presence of each other!
This instantly formed a strong contrast.
“But, why is it only the swords that are reacting towards the junior apprentice uncle, while other magic tools and spiritual tools are not reacting at all?” asked a puzzled Yue Heshan.
An annoyed Luo Wanqiu responded: “Innate Sword Body is naturally the ultimate realm of swords. Speaking of the ultimate, it’s natural! Have you seen any magical treasure other than ‘the sword qi is near’ on the master?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded, voicing their agreement, “You make a good point.”
Yan Li was just like this, there was only one sword. Apart from the sword, there was nothing else.
The so-called ultimate was probably just this.
Only Lu Xun knew, he was actually not an innate sword body, so his heart was particularly complex at this moment.
Where is the promised increase in the [luck value +1]? He didn’t feel it!
He touched the small stone piece he carried with him, which his second apprentice sister gave him. Mao Nanbei had specifically told him to carry it always and not to put it in the storage ring.
Where is the promised shortcut?
They are all fake! Fake!
The only thing he could do now was to keep calm, with a poker face and a strong heart, continue moving forward!
On the other hand, Shen Yan and others were getting a bit restless.
If they continued to ascend, that would bring them to superior spiritual tools, and above the superior spiritual tools, these would be the rare Immortal Level magical treasures of the Demon Sect!
In other sects, these could all be considered sect’s treasures!
These Immortal Level magical treasures, all came from their deceased junior brothers, senior brothers and sisters.
Back then, Yan had accepted twelve disciples, and these twelve people were the first generation of disciples of the Demon Sect.
However, the path of cultivation is fraught with vicissitudes and coupled with the uncertainty of the world, now only they five were remaining.
