Chapter 1337: Chapter 1357: The Guardian of Heavenly Sword Peak_1

"Have I succeeded, then?"

"Yes, you’ve done very well. As far as I know, the success rate is very, very low. It’s hard for anyone to endure."

"Perhaps it’s because of the Shengling Pearl?"

"The Shengling Pearl certainly helps, and your body is different from ordinary cultivators. However, I believe the key to your success is your willpower... You have an iron will. From start to finish, you never passed out."

"There were several times I almost passed out. Maybe there was also a bit of luck involved."

"Regardless, you’ve succeeded. Even though you don’t have an innate Dao Body, you’ve also manifested a Phenomenon. In time, it will become a valuable asset for you."

"It’s been a few days, but I still can’t summon the Phenomenon..."

"A seed needs to take root and germinate, it needs to grow, and eventually break through the ground to become a little sapling. It needs sunshine and nutrients to grow into a towering tree. Once it has absorbed enough nutrients and grown big, you’ll naturally be able to summon it. From now on, it’s a part of your body."

"Okay!"

"I am merely an Artifact Spirit, I can’t help you much. However, I believe in your talent and luck. I hope that when I return, you’ve grown into a towering tree."

"Alright, once I have the ability, if there’s something you wish to do but can’t, I’ll help you do it!"

"Having your word is enough. Take care of yourself, yield when you ought to. There are many powerhouses in the Immortal Path, don’t push yourself too hard. With your talent, as long as you live, you will become invincible."

"You be careful too, go on. Also... thank you!"

Lin Chen stood at the hilltop, watching the Ghost Tower rise into the sky, then turn into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Lin Chen stood for a while, a hint of sadness apparent in his eyes.

Chu Jiaxue went to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, Gu Yuexi went to the Water God Palace, Xuanji Fairy returned to the Immortal Palace, Xi Jie went to other Immortal Domains, and all his family and friends were still in the Barren Wilderness.

He was alone again.

Upon reflection, he was better off than when he first ventured into the Barren Wilderness, then he was truly alone, even without the ability to protect himself.

He would consider himself a novice in cultivation, starting from scratch, familiarizing himself with this world.

In the following time, Lin Chen stayed in the Book Collection Pavilion like a university student in a library.

Despite the loss of power over the years, the White Crane Immortal Sect’s foundation remains deep. The volume of books in the Book Collection Pavilion is enormous, covering a wide range of knowledge.

This continued for three months.

The powerful Divine Sense of an immortal allowed him to read and memorize at a terrifying speed, making his reading effortless and efficient.

He now had a thorough understanding of the history, geography, and other aspects of the Thunder Immortal Domain. He understood many major events in the cultivation world, and he had varying levels of understanding of magical treasures, medicinal pills, Ling Medicine, and natural treasures.

He left the Book Collection Pavilion and headed to the Heavenly Sword Peak.

Located deep within the White Crane Immortal Sect, Heavenly Sword Peak was a Solitary Peak that resembled a black sharp blade piercing the sky.

Most of Heavenly Sword Peak was made of rock as hard as iron, creating a barren landscape apart from a few dwarf trees and shrubs in some places.

Although there were no barriers protecting Heavenly Sword Peak, allowing anyone to fly straight up to the wooden houses near the top, Lin Chen chose to land at the entrance of Heavenly Sword Peak and ascend the stone stairs to the top.

He was a guest.

A guest should follow the etiquette laid down for guests.

Flying straight into someone’s house without the host’s permission would be very rude.

Even the disciples within the Sect would generally not exceed a certain height when passing other peaks without barriers, as a show of respect to those peaks.

After three months of studying, Lin Chen had completely calmed down.

He was not in a hurry to cultivate.

Now in his thirties with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, his life was just beginning. If calculated according to the lifespan of an ordinary person of a hundred years, he was like a baby that was only four months old.

Walking up the dark stone stairs, Lin Chen unexpectedly found that they were extraordinarily clean.

Without Array Concealment, this was... cleaned daily?

The Sword Servant named Su Wu who lived in the mountain?

Su Shaoling had been gone for thousands of years. Even though he was a Human Immortal with such abilities, he remained here, guarding this mountain, dedicating thousands of years to clean up every day. This persistence and mindset were not things an ordinary person could possess.

Even without meeting, Lin Chen already felt great respect for this senior in his heart.

The mountain was high and the stairs were plenty, at least tens of thousands. Lin Chen ascended leisurely, and by the time he arrived before the wooden houses, nearly four hours had passed.

An old man with a cold demeanour was tying a broom together with some vines and bamboo branches in front of the wooden houses.

This should be the Sword Servant, Su Wu, right?

Su Wu was picking off the leaves from the bamboo branches one by one. Given his Human Immortal abilities, a simple spell could make these leaves completely disappear. But he was collecting them one by one, like a commoner. His actions were neither rushed nor slow.

Standing at the end of the steps, Lin Chen didn’t hurry to greet him and just quietly watched.
