Chapter 1339: Chapter 1359: Sword Intent on the Stone Stairs_1

"Heavenly Sword Peak, a barren Solitary Peak, there isn’t much worth stealing. Why wouldn’t you be allowed to live there? Besides, you have the Elder’s Token, so naturally, it’s feasible,"

Su Wu replied casually, shrugging his shoulders, and adding, "A bare mountain, who’s going to carry it away?"

Lin Chen was elated within, laughing as he responded, "Thank you, Senior."

Of course, living on the Heavenly Sword Peak would be better.

Aside from having a better chance of finding the Heavenly Sword Inheritance, he does not particularly wish to stay in the guest room, where he was constantly attended to.

On the Heavenly Sword Peak, there was only Su Wu, and hardly anyone visited. Living here would certainly be much more comfortable.

Lin Chen moved to the Heavenly Sword Peak and settled in a wooden cabin near the edge.

The next day, before the sun had risen, Lin Chen heard Su Wu getting up.

This early?

Lin Chen quickly got out of bed, dressed himself, stepped outside, and found that Su Wu was already about to step out with a big broom in hand.

"Senior, are you going to sweep the mountain path?"

Su Wu turned around and nodded, "Mhm."

Lin Chen took the initiative to volunteer, "Let’s do it together. If each of us sweeps half, we will finish more quickly."

Su Wu replied, "I’m old, and sleep less, so sweeping helps pass the time. You’re young and might need sleep. Don’t feel embarrassed. This matter has nothing to do with you anyway."

However, Lin Chen had already picked up another somewhat old broom from the corner, "Since I’m already awake, let’s do it together. Think of it as a morning workout."

Su Wu hesitated for a moment, eventually nodding, "Sure."

Following Su Wu, he floated down to the middle of the mountain where Su Wu pointed down, "You sweep up from here, I will sweep down from above."

"Okay."

After Su Wu left, Lin Chen landed and started sweeping the steps upwards.

Although the stairs were clean, sweeping was slower than walking, and according to Su Wu’s intentions, they were not to use any magic for this task. So, Lin Chen also felt it inappropriate to use magic to help.

Luckily, Lin Chen had been calm lately. Despite the long stone staircase, he was not in a hurry.

He was used to walking up and down the mountain before, where an eight-hour journey a day was nothing. This half-way sweep surely wouldn’t take eight hours, right?

Lin Chen calmed his mind and just swept off the steps one by one. As he was sweeping, he furrowed his brows.

Why did his Sword Bone seem a bit uncontrollable?

As if it were excitedly cheering?

What’s happening?

Lin Chen carefully observed to find, to his surprise, that extremely subtle Sword Intent was emitted from the black stone steps. If not for his Sword Bone being so sensitive to Sword Intent, he would not have noticed this faint Sword Intent at all.

Lin Chen suddenly had an idea. Could this fine thread-like Sword Intent be related to the Heavenly Sword Inheritance?

After some thought, Lin Chen was not sure, as this peak was where Su Shaoling comprehended his swordsmanship, and it was normal for his Sword Intent to affect things on the mountain.

Though uncertain, Lin Chen remained alert.

Paying attention as he continued, Lin Chen was overjoyed.

There seemed to be subtly thread-like Sword Intent on every step, but it was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

After nearly four hours, Lin Chen finally finished sweeping the whole staircase. By then, it was broad daylight.

Looking back at the staircase he had just swept, his eyes flashed with excitement.

There was something about these stairs!

Sword Intent residue in a Sword Immortal’s meditation or practice area would be dense, that’s normal, but the Sword Intent on these stairs was different. It Doesn’t seem to be unintentionally left behind but more like it was left purposefully and controlled. It was filled with rhythm and regularity.

The staircase looked clean already, but Su Wu insisted on cleaning it every day without using any magic, quietly sweeping step by step.

But why?

If the staircase had anything to do with the inheritance, did it mean that Su Wu already knew where the inheritance was?

Was he comprehending the Heavenly Sword while sweeping the stairs every day?

With his curiosity, Lin Chen finished his task.

Soon after, Su Wu also came back, greeted Lin Chen as usual, and went into the kitchen to prepare their meal.

After eating, Lin Chen loitered back to the stairs, walked for a while, then immediately laid down on them.

His Sword Bone was directly in close contact with the stairs, allowing him to sense that extremely faint Sword Intent moe clearly now. This made Lin Chen increasingly convinced of his conjecture.

Although he was unsure of what modifications Su Shaoling had made to the stairs, Lin Chen was certain that it definitely had something to do with the Heavenly Sword Inheritance!

He closed his eyes, calmed his heart and mind, and started to immerse himself in sensing the subtle changes.

After quite some time, he moved to another spot a little further down the path. His Sword Bone keenly sensed that the Sword Intent was slightly stronger here.

Just a bit!

This discovery excited Lin Chen. If he could find the strongest area of Sword Intent by searching this way, did it mean he could find the Heavenly Sword Inheritance left by Su Shaoling?
