Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 342 - 135: Walking the Chivalrous Path with the Overlord Blade, The Great Battle Begins

Chapter 342: Chapter 135: Walking the Chivalrous Path with the Overlord Blade, The Great Battle Begins

"Moreover, I have many, many things to do, I don’t need a little man to become a burden."

...

...

Li Yuan forged a spiritual artifact and made two profits.

As a Weapon Forger of the Cui Family, he also received one hundred twenty taels of Blood Gold from the family each month.

This money was enough for him to purchase cultivation resources.

But right now, it’s not a matter of resources.

He’s truly stuck.

He consumed Sixth Grade Demon Beast Meat and practiced the "Five Viscera Gold-Swallowing Skill," forcefully pushing himself to the Half-Step Fifth Grade level.

He solved the issue of the spiritual artifact, so he doesn’t have to worry about lacking a weapon after breaking through to the Fifth Grade.

Yet, the next issue confronted him directly.

Realm.

He couldn’t break through.

What to do?

...

That day, after nightfall...

Li Yuan sat in the small courtyard, and the moonlight cast a "painting" on the table.

The brushstrokes were chaotic; this was Li Yuan sketching the intention of the "Thousand-Mile Knight Painting."

He knew that to reach the Fifth Grade, he had to collect "seeds," waiting for those disciples from the Southern Land to "mature."

Only when they fully comprehended the intention could he extract it from them, thus perfecting himself.

After all, a person has only one character, can only have one persistence...

With too much persistence, it becomes not persistence, but greed.

To reach the Sixth Grade Peak, one can only be persistent in one path.

But it’s only been seven years since he established the Martial House and She Xiang.

He needed to wait a long time for the seeds to mature.

This made him, the creator of his cultivation skill, think: Since I can create three different intentions, why can’t I perfect them on my own? Why not... refine them myself?

Li Yuan thought about it, and decided to act.

He wanted to go further, to harvest those "intentions" that should have grown externally, at least... to give it a try.

Under the moonlight, the young man wielded his brush like a sword, slashing and stabbing on the paper without any system.

After achieving nothing, he casually tossed it aside and sat under an old tree, lost in deep thought.

He felt incredibly restless, his thoughts were in turmoil, clashing like a battle.

"Sir~"

Just then, Yaojue’s voice, along with her face, peeked out from behind the white wall.

"Yaojue."

Li Yuan called out her name and asked, "Is there something?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The long-legged maid walked out, smiled, and said, "Xiaozhao said Sir has been painting recently, drawing very ugly paintings."

Li Yuan, troubled at the moment, replied, "Yes, indeed very ugly."

Yaojue then walked over, glanced at the painting on the table, her beautiful eyes rolled, somewhat bashfully said, "Madam... asked me to accompany you today..."

Li Yuan remembered, Cui Huayin had mentioned this a few times before, and this time she didn’t bother to say it directly, instead sending Yaojue.

He carefully examined the long-legged maid before him.

An oval face, twin buns, delicate brows and eyes, a lively spirit in her pupils, cautious, her lips seemed to always bear a smile, making people feel good...

If such a maid had the opportunity at the Imperial Palace, she might even be favored by the Emperor.

Because she truly easily puts people in a good mood.

Li Yuan, seeing her, had his mood lifted a bit.

"Sir... are you... feeling somewhat down?" The long-legged maid hesitantly asked.

Li Yuan nodded.

Yaojue continued, "Then does Sir want to draw a picture that makes you happy?"

"Almost." Li Yuan didn’t wish to speak of the "Thousand-Mile Knight Painting."

Yaojue snuggled up, giggling bashfully, "How about, doing something that would make Sir happy first, once you’re happy, you’ll be able to draw a happy picture."

Li Yuan instinctively wanted to retort "being happy will help draw a happy picture?" but as he was about to speak, his pupils narrowed slightly, pausing as thoughts flooded into his mind.

He...

Why had he forgotten the simplest truth?

He created the "Thousand-Mile Knight," "South Mountain Ghost Rain," and "Young Master Riding a Deer" paintings by surpassing this world’s poetry and artistic realms with pre-travel intentions.

Guided by "Overlord Blade," he felt heroic, driven by righteousness;

With the "Demon Blade," he felt desolate, aberrant;

And the "Absolute Blade" evoked a feeling of carefree detachment.

He...

Why only think that using these techniques would evoke different emotions, even changing himself?

He...

Should have realized that each emotion is truly the start of a path.

Just walking down it, feeling, delving, even temporarily forgetting one’s true self, then... can genuinely refine this intention.

Why fear becoming different?

It’s like a traveler journeying away, as long as one knows the way home, it’s merely a journey!

All experiences transform into nutrients for personal growth.

What is there to fear?

"Unity of knowledge and action."

Li Yuan suddenly whispered this phrase.

He understood, yet didn’t practice.

If he practices, perhaps... he can obtain intention on his own?

At least it’s worth a try.

The simplest truths are often forgotten by complex people, later recalled in moments of deep reflection, then... exhilarating in realization.

Li Yuan was overjoyed, then lifted the long-legged maid by his side, cradling her left leg and his right arm over her back, spinning several rounds in the moonlight before stopping.

Yaojue gently clung to Sir’s neck, her embroidered shoes swinging slightly in the air, she smiled and said, "Sir, what did you realize?"

Li Yuan said, "To draw a happy picture, do happy things first."

With that, he carried Yaojue, turning and striding into the house.
