Chapter 74: Chapter 74: What is the Great Strength Sword Dao?

Half an hour later.

A towering and majestic mountain peak, stretching endlessly, appeared before Chen Zhixing.

"Young master, that’s Celestial River Mountain ahead."

A cold, mature woman’s voice echoed in Chen Zhixing’s mind.

Chen Zhixing nodded slightly, restrained his aura, and walked into a dense forest, behind a giant green stone.

Immediately, Chen Zhixing looked up at Celestial River Mountain.

He saw sword qi roaring, sword light swirling on Celestial River Mountain.

Figures were flying on swords from all directions, transforming into brilliant rainbows, crossing heaven and earth, isolating the sun and moon.

Each one was like the sword immortal characters in novels from his past life, riding the wind with their swords, singing loudly between the Nine Heavens.

Free and elegant, beyond compare.

Chen Zhixing’s gaze slightly focused, somewhat entranced.

In these ten years since he came to this world, he spent most of his time on Ziwei Mountain and had yet to witness what the Cultivation Realm was like.

And this scene before him seemed like a real, grand Cultivation Realm revealing a corner of the picture to him.

Making his heart yearn.

"Handsome, indeed they’re all quite handsome, but... why do these people all wear masks?"

A strange expression appeared on Chen Zhixing’s face.

On Celestial River Mountain, most cultivators either had black robes covering their faces or wore wide-brimmed hat masks; in short, each one concealed their appearance and form, making it hard to discern clearly.

"Brother, I call you brother, can you please move your foot? It’s stepping on my fingers!"

At this moment, a deeply dissatisfied voice came from beneath Chen Zhixing’s feet.

Chen Zhixing froze for a moment and instinctively stepped back.

He saw a shadow get up from the ground covered with countless dead leaves, continually blowing on his thumb.

"Ouch, wow, it hurts like hell!"

This figure wore a goat mask and rubbed his hand in pain.

He then looked up at Chen Zhixing, his eyes lighting up, and said: "Brother, your mask is quite unique, where did you buy it?"

"..." Chen Zhixing was a bit taken aback; he had entirely restrained his mental telekinesis earlier and didn’t notice this fellow hiding in the grass.

"Why is brother not speaking? Was my entrance just too impressive and scared brother?"

The goat mask blinked and then cleverly smiled and said:

"I heard brother talking to himself earlier, wondering why everyone wears masks, right? Let me tell you."

"Gurgle..."

He cleared his throat, then smiled and said, "It’s simple, anyone traveling in the Jianghu would be cautious, wouldn’t they? Especially in competitions for opportunity and fortune like this, if you gain an opportunity with your true face, wouldn’t someone come knocking on your door to seize it the next day? Just like you, brother, aren’t you also showing your mask to others?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing pondered for a while and nodded: "You have a point."

"Precisely. My last name is Shan, with a single name Yang. How should I address brother?"

Shanyang?

Goat?

Chen Zhixing understood in his mind; this must be an alias, but he wouldn’t be foolish enough to inquire further.

"I am Bai Shi." Chen Zhixing politely cupped his hands.

"Alright, Brother Bai seems to have come alone? How about we team up and look after each other?" Shan Yang asked.

Chen Zhixing wanted to refuse, but seeing the scene of Celestial River Mountain crowded with people, his mind shifted, and he nodded:

"Would it be... troublesome to Brother Shan?"

"Hey, why say that? As the saying goes, at home rely on parents, out rely on friends. It’s better to support each other than to fight alone, isn’t it?"

Shan Yang laughed heartily and patted Chen Zhixing’s shoulder: "Let’s go; I’ve made a few friends along the way; I’ll introduce you."

After that, Shan Yang led Chen Zhixing toward the foot of Celestial River Mountain.

Before long, Chen Zhixing saw three figures at the foot of the mountain.

Through Shan Yang’s introductions, they briefly introduced themselves.

Among the three, the figure on the left wore a black wide-brimmed hat, with black veils hanging from its edge, making his face unclear.

"I am Xuu Li, skilled in the art of sword arrays."

This man named Xuu Li waved his hand, and immediately twenty-four palm-sized flying swords flew out from his sleeve.

"Chant!" He whispered.

In an instant, these twenty-four palm-sized flying swords, like flickering redfish, combined in the air into a sword array.

Within the sword array, sword qi ran rampant, murderous intent soared, fierce and extraordinary.

"Good!"

"Brother Xuu’s sword array is truly formidable. Even one at the Peak of Clarity Realm would have to lament here, wouldn’t they?" Brother Shan immediately cheered loudly.

"Just a humble display." Xuu Li smiled a bit sheepishly, then with a swirl of his sleeve, the flying swords returned to him like swallows returning to their nest, all flying back into his sleeve.

Standing in the middle was a rather tall woman, dressed in a palace gown with long sleeves like Water Egrets, a slender waist you could grasp with one hand, and wearing a golden Bailing Bird mask on her face.

"I am Bai Ling, skilled in the Illusion Sword Tao."

The woman’s voice was gentle, and with a slight twirl of her sword, dozens of swords suddenly appeared in her hand, making it difficult to discern the real ones from the illusions.

This technique was quite exquisite. However, observing her aura, Chen Zhixing determined that this woman’s cultivation wasn’t high; at most, it was at the Peak of Void Transformation.

As for the third person, he was a man who had remained silent all along, wearing a black iron mask.

"Aliang." He spat out the two words concisely, then with just a single strike, a black sword light slashed out diagonally, tearing a path dozens of feet long on the ground.

Witnessing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but show a slight hint of awe in their eyes.

The woman called Bai Ling looked towards Aliang with a sudden gleam in her eyes.

Just from the aura emitted by that single strike, it was at least the Peak of Clarity, or perhaps even the Divine Travel Realm!

"Brother Bai, it’s your turn to amaze everyone, isn’t it?" Brother Shan looked at Chen Zhixing and chuckled.

The others also looked at Chen Zhixing with curiosity, a touch of anticipation rising in their eyes.

Especially Bai Ling, who closely observed Chen Zhixing with her beautiful eyes, noted his attire seemed unusual, and thought to herself, this person must be no ordinary individual, possibly a disciple from a noble family on a training journey. If she could get close to him...

"Me?"

Chen Zhixing was momentarily taken aback, then fell silent for a moment.

Sword Dao?

He didn’t know a lick about the Sword Dao!

"What? Is it inconvenient for Brother Bai to demonstrate? No matter, if it’s inconvenient, that’s alright, we understand." Brother Shan laughed.

"It’s not a matter of inconvenience; it’s just my... Sword Dao..."

Chen Zhixing coughed into his fist and said, "My Sword Dao, um... is called the Great Strength Sword Tao!"

"The Great Strength Sword Tao?" The crowd was taken aback, and couldn’t help but exchange glances.

This Sword Dao... none of them had heard of it!

"Brother Bai, what is the Great Strength Sword Tao?" Brother Shan scratched the back of his head.

"Well..."

Chen Zhixing casually drew the Cyan Pheasant Sword from the sword box on his back and looked toward a large protruding cliff face ahead.

He gently summoned the power within him, then smashed it down with no pattern.

BOOM!!!

In an instant, the entire protruding cliff face shattered into pieces, and even the entire mountain roared with its collapse.

"Hmm, I named it the Great Strength Sword Tao." Chen Zhixing sheathed his sword, his face flushing a bit with embarrassment.

Earlier, rather than slicing it open with a sword, it was more like breaking it apart with sheer force.

For a moment.

Brother Shan and the others exchanged looks, somewhat dumbfounded.

Just swinging forward with force, and that’s the so-called Great Strength Sword Tao?

And Bai Ling, who was previously quite expectant, suddenly showed a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"Turns out he’s just a showy pillow, probably ordinary too, otherwise which great noble family’s child would have such crude skills?"

She secretly shook her head in her heart and turned her gaze back to the silent Aliang, her eyes shining.

"Brother Bai, your Sword Dao is indeed... truly extraordinary and unique." Brother Shan couldn’t help but chuckle awkwardly.

He finally figured it out.

This guy named Bai Shi is just a pure Sword Dao novice!

Amid their amused exchanges,

Rumble~~!!!

Above the Nine Heavens, a sudden earth-shattering explosion erupted!

A figure was seen approaching from the horizon on a sword.

This single sword stroke cut across the sun and moon, piercing through heaven and earth!

The vast sky was cleaved in twain!

"He actually came?!"

In an instant, Brother Shan and the others looked up, their expressions changing.
