The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 66 - 64: The Evil Sword on the Mountain

Within the Secret Realm, Xu Ziqing looked conflicted.

"Senior Brother has given me a new lease on life!"

"No matter what I use to repay him, it is only right and proper."

"But, my whole family died because of it..."

This was the hardest choice for the delicate young man, and he felt he couldn’t make this decision on his own.

After much deliberation, Xu Ziqing thought of a compromise.

"You must all be watching me from above, right?"

The young man took out the third brocade bag that Chu Huaixu had given him.

The note inside this brocade bag had already been carefully folded back along the creases he had originally made, and then placed back inside.

"If you have spirits in the heavens, Ziqing will toss this brocade bag."

"If it lands face-up, then you approve of this matter and agree for me to give that item to Senior Brother."

"If it lands face-down, then you are unwilling."

Xu Ziqing took a deep breath and gently tossed the brocade bag upward.

The brocade bag did not land on the dusty ground; he was sitting on the ground at this moment, spreading out his robe and aiming the throw, so it landed on his clothes.

——It landed face-down!

Xu Ziqing’s gaze froze, lost in thought for a long time, not expecting it to be face-down.

But after a while, the delicate young man began to talk to himself, recounting the kindness Chu Huaixu had shown him.

"Father, Mother, Grandmother, Little Sister, you don’t know, Senior Brother he..." He rambled on about many things.

It seemed that this time it landed face-down because his deceased relatives knew too little.

After he finished speaking, he looked up again and said, "Senior Brother is such a good person to me. If you have spirits in the heavens, considering that throw earlier, I will toss three times in total. If two out of three times it lands face-up, then you approve of this matter."

He tossed it two more times, both landing face-up.

The delicate young man with lips red and teeth white showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Indeed! Father, Mother, Grandmother, Little Sister, I knew you thought the same!"

"Rest assured, Ziqing will cultivate diligently with Senior Brother’s help and avenge you all soon!" He was filled with determination.

After resting for a while, Xu Ziqing adapted to his enhanced physique and jumped back into the pool.

Now he could clearly feel that the Water Blade wasn’t as painful anymore.

As his physical fitness improved, his pain threshold also increased, and he understood the profound mysteries of the Supreme Divine Skill, "Refining Sword Formulas."

The delicate young man no longer saw the torturous methods in the pool as a form of suffering.

This is a compulsory lesson given to me by Senior Brother!

He even thought, "Could Senior Brother have walked this path the same way?"

"He must have trained here too."

With that thought, the elegant image of Chu Huaixu floated in Xu Ziqing’s mind.

"I am far inferior to Senior Brother." The young man sighed.

...

...

Time advanced by two days.

Han Shuangjiang leaned against the door of the bamboo house, watching Chu Huaixu and Liu Chenggong sparring from afar.

She had become somewhat accustomed to the clamor outside the house in recent days.

The cold-faced girl had been cultivating more diligently lately, unwilling to be left far behind by Chu Huaixu.

With her efforts, she had also reached the level of the Eighth Acupoint.

The Profound Yin Body was indeed terrifying, breaking through at an incredible speed.

"Tomorrow I should be able to attempt to break through the Ninth Acupoint." Han Shuangjiang thought.

By then, she could go to the Library Pavilion.

The girl had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

At this moment, as she watched Chu Huaixu and Liu Chenggong enjoying their sparring, she felt a bit puzzled.

"Didn’t he already open the eight acupoints a few days ago?"

"Why hasn’t he made any progress in the past few days?"

"Is he busy sparring or waiting for me?"

Han Shuangjiang couldn’t figure out an answer.

Sometimes she felt she understood him well, but other times she felt she only had a superficial understanding of him.

This man seemed to have many secrets.

Despite having just a Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo, his cultivation speed was faster than hers with her Super Grade Spiritual Embryo.

Judging by the combat power he displayed now, she feared that if she were to spar with him, she wouldn’t last more than a few moves.

She felt an inexplicable curiosity about Chu Huaixu.

But she remembered the teachings from the sisters at the Hongxiu Restaurant.

"Shuangjiang, a woman must never be curious about a man. You see, many of our sisters here started with nothing more than a fleeting romance with patrons, a brief encounter. But out of curiosity, they wanted to understand the other person, and then they gradually became enmeshed, and in the end, they wouldn’t even accept silver taels."

Han Shuangjiang didn’t entirely agree with what the sisters said, after all, that was a world of sensual pleasures, but it seemed to hold a grain of truth.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Chu Huaixu speak.

"Senior Brother Liu, let’s stop here for today." Chu Huaixu raised his hand and said.

"Hmm? Ending so early today?" This response left Liu Chenggong puzzled.

Too tired, it had been exhausting these past few days.

The young man before him was like he had taken some vitality pills, full of energy!

No matter how hard the previous day was, he would be vibrant and full of energy early the next morning.

Being a normal person, Liu Chenggong’s fatigue would accumulate, what else could he do? He had no choice but to tough it out... and actually take drugs!

Every day when he returned home, Liu Chenggong’s Daoist partner would provide him with therapeutic meals.

Before going out, he would take a Qi Blood Pill, and today he even felt it wasn’t strong enough, so he took two in a row.

Yet, my blood-boiling fervor hasn’t worn off yet, and then you tell me we’re done? What about my fervor?

Little did he know, in Chu Huaixu’s eyes, this tool had lost all value.

Just now, he had gained another 40 experience points, officially filling up the 1,200 experience points bar.

Continuing to spar was pointless unless his strength suddenly surged, allowing him to overpower Liu Chenggong, in which case he wouldn’t mind tormenting him a bit.

"Alright, Junior Brother Chu, should I come back tomorrow morning?" Toolman Liu Chenggong was gradually becoming accustomed to it.

"No need, I plan to break through the Ninth Acupoint tonight and might have to visit the Library Pavilion in the morning." Chu Huaixu said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chenggong was alarmed.

Listen to that tone, as if breaking through is just a matter of one’s mood.

Beside him, Han Shuangjiang got the answer: "He deliberately doesn’t break through, he’s waiting for me on purpose."

The vice-captain of the Law Enforcement Team could only raise his hand to congratulate: "Then congratulations to Junior Brother Chu! I wish Junior Brother Chu can find a cultivation technique he likes in the Library Pavilion."

"Thanks to Senior Brother Liu’s kind words." Chu Huaixu said with a smile.

After Liu Chenggong left, Chu Huaixu turned around and looked at the charming figure in the bamboo house next door.

"Can you break through tonight?" he asked.

"Certainly." The Big Ice Cube replied.

...

...

Back inside, Chu Huaixu took off the robe that was filthy from sparring.

He habitually hung the dirty clothes on Xu Ziqing’s door, waiting for him to come back and wash them together.

"Xiaoxu, why haven’t you come back yet? If you don’t return soon, I won’t have clean clothes to wear." he muttered to himself.

So many days have passed in the blink of an eye, yet Xu Ziqing is still absorbing the medicinal liquid in the Secret Realm.

This made Chu Huaixu more convinced that this kid is an Innate Medicine-Striking Saint Body.

"If I had this physique, I could at least gain 2000 more experience points in the Secret Realm; why would I need to rely on such a stupid method as sparring?"

"Wouldn’t swimming naked in the pool be delightful?" he thought silently.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation mat, Chu Huaixu didn’t rush to level up immediately.

He was afraid of fainting from the pain and then missing the meal, only able to eat cold food.

Usually, he chooses to level up at night, so he can sleep soundly for a long time.

Thinking about soon becoming a Nine Acupoints Powerhouse, a smile appeared on Chu Huaixu’s face.

A mere Level 9 shouldn’t have made him so delighted.

The main thing is..... the Nine Acupoints is the pinnacle of the Refining Sword Formulas!

"This means I’ve successfully graduated, damn Dysmenorrhea get out of here!"

The tormented Chu Huaixu felt that the coming days would be good ones.

"In the future, it will be me watching Xiaoxu shout alone~" He thought it was too satisfying.

At night, Xu Ziqing still hadn’t returned.

"Can he really absorb that much?"

Chu Huaixu was speechless, why doesn’t the so-called scientific, moderate drug use work for him?

Does giving medicine make you stronger?

He cast aside these distracting thoughts, no longer envying the main character of the world, thinking he should still take it one step at a time, relying on his own efforts.

"System, level me up!"

In an instant, the extremely blocked Ninth Acupoint within him became completely unimpeded!

Thus, with all Nine Acupoints open, the Spiritual Embryo Secret Collection formed its own cycle, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi could enter his body, turning into Spiritual Power as it passed through the Nine Acupoints!

The surrounding spiritual Qi began rushing in madly, continually refining and hammering Chu Huaixu’s flesh.

In no time, overwhelming pain swept over him.

His pain threshold was already so high, yet at this moment, it felt like he was really going insane.

This torment was comparable to the cumulative pain when opening the previous eight acupoints!

The feeling of being crushed all over by a heavy object made him wonder if he was already a bloody mess.

He was no longer a person, but crushed into... a puddle of human?

"Damn it, it’s the Hundred-Ton King!" This was Chu Huaixu’s last thought.

He suspected he was walking on a national road, run over by the legendary Hundred-Ton King.

Chu Huaixu collapsed on the meditation mat, convulsing wildly, yet there was a streaming light across his skin!

In his Sea of Consciousness, the sickly black Little Sword suddenly became unusually lively.

It began trembling, as if eager to unsheathe.

The next moment, the entire Medicine Mountain started to have a slight tremor, as if an earthquake.

In the Beyond the Mountain area where the Daoist Sect was located, every peak was the same!

A large number of Daoist disciples were shocked, this phenomenon had never happened before.

"Is there an earthquake outside?"

"Can Beyond the Mountain even have earthquakes?"

"Impossible, even if there’s an earthquake outside, Beyond the Mountain has the Mountain Protection Array, it can’t be affected!"

Unless... the tremor came from within the Mountain Protection Array!

The high ranks of the Daoist Sect, shocked, flew en masse to the central area of Beyond the Mountain—Hidden Spirit Mountain!

Because the source of this earthquake was here.

For some reason, the sword at the top of Hidden Spirit Mountain began vibrating and emitting a series of sword hums!

Atop the mountain, there was a stone platform.

Beside the stone platform stood a stone tablet, in front of which was a carving knife.

The stone tablet was tall, with just two large characters at the top—"Junzi".

These two characters were written vertically.

Below, there was a dense array of smaller characters, as if others had extended the two words with phrases or sentences, then carved them with the knife.

On the stone platform, there lay a sword scabbard, completely black, exuding an ancient aura.

A pendant hung from the scabbard, a black bead with black tassels attached below.

Above the scabbard, a sword hovered.

The sword pointed downward, the hilt facing upward.

It was a Bronze Sword, but slightly longer and darker than ordinary bronze swords, exhibiting a blue-black color.

At this moment, the Bronze Sword was trembling and letting out a series of sword hums!

As it vibrated, the entire Hidden Spirit Mountain also quaked!

Though it hovered in mid-air, it could somehow connect with the entire mountain.

As if an invisible force linked the sword to the mountain.

It was as if it was locked to the mountain.

——The sword was angry.
