Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 100 - 48: Xuanzhen Branch, Chixiao Sword Vein

Chapter 100: Chapter 48: Xuanzhen Branch, Chixiao Sword Vein

The flying ship passed through the basin and arrived at the southeastern river mouth where a giant peak rose from the ground, towering to tens of thousands of zhang.

From afar, the giant peak was shrouded by a large array. Through the transparent array barrier, one could see pavilions and towers all over the mountain, along with treasure light soaring into the sky.

From time to time, beams of sword light could be seen flying out from the mountain gate and shooting into the sky, or sword light returning from afar entering the mountain.

The flying ship did not directly enter the mountain gate but slowly descended. There was a giant city at the foot of the mountain, and the Spiritual Wing Flying Ship stopped at a huge platform at the city’s edge where flying ships constantly landed and took off.

A group of people disembarked. Su Yu was about to get off when Chu Xiaoyu called him back:

"This isn’t our destination."

"Oh!"

He nodded, raising his head out of curiosity to observe the city.

This city’s scale was larger than Thousand Feather City, with even denser crowds. Su Yu noticed a significant number of sword cultivators here, with half of the people being sword cultivators.

This was an exaggerated ratio, far less than one percent in Thousand Feather City.

As he was examining the city, a few people waved them over from the edge of the platform. Chu Xiaoyu flew over, exchanged a few words with them, and then they left together.

After they departed, the Spiritual Wing Flying Ship soared again, leaving the city and heading toward the giant peak not far away.

Su Yu curiously asked:

"Xiaoyu, is this a sect?"

Chu Xiaoyu shook her head and said:

"This is the Chixiao Sword Vein, a branch of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect."

"?"

"You can think of it as one of many branches within the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, called the Chixiao Sword Vein."

"Oh!"

"Miss has a friend here, who is one of the core disciples of the Chixiao Sword Vein, with excellent swordsmanship and capable of being a mentor."

At this point, Chu Xiaoyu’s tone suddenly became serious and she said to him:

"Although this is Miss’s friend, remember, you will owe a favor in the future."

Su Yu quickly nodded, assuring:

"Don’t worry, I’ll remember it."

Chu Xiaoyu smiled and nodded:

"There’s no need to rush. With your current strength, you can’t repay it anyway. Consider these things when your power is sufficient in the future."

"Hmm!"

While they were talking, the flying ship arrived at the foot of the mountain, where a giant mountain gate stood. Beside the gate was a stone wall with four mighty characters inscribed: ’Chixiao Sword Peak’. Su Yu’s gaze fell on the characters, and he instantly felt a formidable sword intent rushing at him.

His head tilted back slightly as he quickly came to his senses, deeply shocked:

"What fierce sword intent!"

Sword intent, a power only mastered at the fourth level of swordsmanship, combines highly refined will with Sword Dao faith. Refined sword intent can shatter all magic, extremely powerful.

The premise of breaking all magic with one sword is to master sword intent. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The sword intent contained in the four large characters on this stone wall was left by a powerful warrior. That it could remain in the characters for decades to hundreds of years without dissipating, meant its level was extraordinary, incredibly exaggerated.

The Spiritual Wing Flying Ship descended on the plaza before the mountain gate, a sword rainbow flew out from the mountain gate, flashing to appear before the ship.

Su Yu only felt the sword rainbow flash, and in the next moment, a tall and graceful silhouette appeared on the ship.

The woman wore a moon-white long dress, her waist encircled by a light green ribbon, perfectly outlining her curves, her chest seemingly about to burst from her bodice.

Her eyebrows were long and thin like swords, her almond-shaped eyes cold as frost, her nose delicate as jade, corners of her lips curling in a restrained smile.

Throughout the journey, Chu Xinyue, who mostly sat cross-legged in cold silence, now wore a smile Su Yu had never seen and embraced the maiden.

Su Yu blinked, feeling something peculiar about their intimacy.

The Spiritual Wing Flying Ship lifted into the air, flying directly into the giant mountain gate hundreds of meters high.

Passing through a gently rippling transparent barrier, a clear spiritual aura rushed at them.

On the ship, the two women finished their private conversation. The woman turned to observe Su Yu, her gaze sending a fierce sword intent from the Chixiao Sword Vein streaking across him like a blade.

After a moment, she nodded, her cold voice sounding:

"Not bad."

"For Xinyue’s sake, I won’t hold back. How much you learn depends on your skill."

Su Yu quickly clasped his hands and bowed respectfully:

"Su Yu thanks... Senior!"

Chu Xiaoyu softly reminded him:

"Address her as Sword Immortal Li!"

He quickly corrected himself:

"Su Yu thanks Sword Immortal Li."

The woman nodded, turned and warmly looked at Chu Xinyue, taking her hand, rising into the air and disappeared in an instant, leaving a stunned Su Yu with mouth slightly open.

"Pa!"

Chu Xiaoyu lightly patted his shoulder, and he snapped out of it, hearing her seriously admonish:

"Don’t look around, don’t speak carelessly."

He nodded quickly:

"I didn’t see a thing."

"Hmm."

After the ship entered the mountain gate, it quickly ascended, soon reaching a mid-mountain area over ten thousand meters high, surrounded by lush flora and array light curtains over a manor.

Instead of entering the main gate, it flew straight into a small courtyard next to the manor.

Chu Xiaoyu pointed to the courtyard, telling him:

"We will stay here temporarily for about a month. During this period, Miss Qingli will visit to give lessons."

Su Yu thought of something and asked:

"Is there no fixed schedule? Teaching shouldn’t take too long, how should I plan the rest of my time? Surely I can’t stay here for a whole month, right?"
