Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Qiao Lezhi’s World-Shaking Wisdom

Just like Zhang Ze had no progress in the Reverse Inference Heart Method, Lily also had no breakthroughs.

In Lily’s words, it was:

"We’re just not skilled enough, our abilities are average, and we really can’t manage this for now."

Lily and the elders studied for several days and only reached one conclusion.

"These two Arrays originate from the same source, they’re fragments of a larger magical formation."

Fortunately, the wisdom and experience of the elders were still fruitful.

The demon race members who had turned to stone were all released.

However, it seems some kind of stress reaction was triggered in those demon race members towards Cold City, and now none of them are willing to stay there any longer.

And a mischievous Lily suggested an idea to them.

Why not move entirely to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion?

This place is lively, has a night market, and is right next to the Sword Pavilion, ensuring safety.

Zhang Ze thought, maybe this is good news, probably.

After discussing the Array issues, Lily started rambling about siphoning off the auction house.

Zhang Ze was so annoyed that he slapped a Silence Talisman on Lily’s mouth; this time, it was an official one.

After driving away Lily, who was purely loafing around, Zhang Ze suddenly realized he had nothing to do for the time being.

Standing in the square for five seconds, Zhang Ze made a decision.

"I’ll go find my junior sister."

This time, instead of using Snake Sword to travel, Zhang Ze used the Teleportation Array.

This Teleportation Array was actually built last week, but Zhang Ze was still in Cold City then, so he didn’t know.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made the fool of being caught by Wang Jie as a Demon Path spy in the middle of the night.

And the setup of this array was initiated not by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, but by the Sword Pavilion.

Since the Sword Sect is a proper sect, there’s no nightlife at all.

Unlike the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, where the party just gets started at 9 p.m.

Those bored senior brothers and sisters took advantage of their positions, went through the official channels, submitted reports to the elders.

They wanted to build a Teleportation Array between the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion and the Inner Sect of the Sword Sect, activated only with a Sword Sect waist token.

The report said this:

The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion is a mixed bag, possibly infiltrated by Demon Path spies, requiring disciples to patrol regularly to ensure safety.

Somehow, what the elders were thinking, the thing got approved.

Arriving at the Teleportation Array, Zhang Ze took out his Sword Sect disciple waist token, activated the array, and after a blue light, Zhang Ze appeared at the Sword Sect’s Inner Sect grounds.

Strolling leisurely, when passing the Sword Storage Tower, he saw the Quick Sword senior brother again.

"Brother Jie, what are you doing?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

Wang Jie was standing outside the Sword Storage Tower, holding Qiao Lezhi’s door plank.

His expression... was utterly baffled.

Seeing it was Zhang Ze, Wang Jie nodded as a response.

Then, after pondering for a long time, he spoke.

"Senior Sister Qiao, she, she says she wants to go into seclusion."

"Yes, she’s going into seclusion to comprehend the Sword Dao."

As if convincing himself, Wang Jie repeated.

Then Zhang Ze’s expression became just like Wang Jie’s.

"She’s going into seclusion? Cultivation?"

"Brother Jie, are you sure Senior Sister Qiao isn’t just finding a quiet place to sleep?"

Wang Jie shook his head, then waved the door plank in his hand and tilted his head to indicate Zhang Ze to look at the Sword Storage Tower.

"Senior Sister Qiao is currently inside the Sword Storage Tower."

Zhang Ze looked incredulously at the top of the Sword Storage Tower and scratched his head.

"Is she for real?"

The Sword Storage Tower, aside from Qiao Lezhi, is a place where Sword Sect cultivators must go after reaching Golden Core.

Only by comprehending their own Sword Intent inside the tower can they officially step onto their path of Sword Cultivation.

Qiao Lezhi had previously always been too lazy to come here because of her perfect logical loop and invincible stats at the same rank.

In her words, "It’s useless anyway, might as well sleep."

Zhang Ze thought for a long while, thinking that Senior Sister Qiao was normal just a few days ago. What happened suddenly today?

Seeing Zhang Ze was about to ask, Wang Jie shook his head.

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know."

"Then why are you here?" Zhang Ze pointed to the door plank in Wang Jie’s hand.

Wang Jie’s expression grew even more peculiar.

"I was grabbed by Senior Sister halfway here; she told me to stay and keep watch over this... sword."

"Why?" Zhang Ze was still puzzled.

"She said, going to the Sword Storage Tower should be with sincerity, without distractions, so external items can’t be taken up there." Wang Jie answered.

"Is there such a rule?" Zhang Ze doubted his own memory.

"Where, you know it, Senior Sister Qiao never goes to class."

"The theory is something Senior Sister Qiao made up herself."

Wang Jie glanced back before speaking, fearing Qiao Lezhi might suddenly appear behind him.

"So..." Zhang Ze still didn’t understand why Wang Jie held the door plank waiting here.

Wang Jie looked at Zhang Ze, "Actually, this is your fault."

"Me?"

"Yes."

"Senior Sister said, you should always be prepared with a backup plan, in case the Sword Dao comprehension fails, this sword would still be useful, shouldn’t be lost."

"So she made me hold it and wait here for her to come down, fearing someone might steal her sword."

"And this reasoning, she said it was you, Little Junior Brother, who taught her."

The "Little Junior Brother" Qiao Lezhi referred to was Zhang Ze alone.

"I don’t think anyone would steal that." Zhang Ze professionally assessed the door plank.

"I think the same thing." Wang Jie nodded.

"Then why aren’t you leaving."

"I said it, but Senior Sister didn’t listen, and I can’t beat her."

Luckily, not many people visited the Sword Storage Tower today, so Wang Jie only saw Zhang Ze the whole morning.

It wasn’t too embarrassing.

Zhang Ze looked up at the Sword Storage Tower, curious about what exactly Qiao Lezhi’s Sword Dao was.

He thought for a long time but couldn’t imagine Qiao Lezhi earnestly wielding a sword.

As for Sword Flight or Sword Shining Nine States, forget it; it’s unimaginable.

Zhang Ze thought for a long time, his mind filled with images of Qiao Lezhi shattering the void with one punch, breaking the Heavenly Dao with two punches, an Extreme Path Muscle Immortal Venerate sweeping across the land.

Zhang Ze really wanted to stay here with Wang Jie and wait for Qiao Lezhi to come out.

He was very curious about what kind of Sword Dao Qiao Lezhi could comprehend.

However, he didn’t know how long Qiao Lezhi would stay in the Sword Storage Tower.

According to Grandpa Wang’s bragging tales.

In their generation, the fastest to comprehend the Sword Dao was Mo Jingchun, the second was him, and the third was Li.

And the slowest one stayed inside for half a month.

Comprehending Sword Dao not only depends on talent and chance but mainly on one’s own temperament.

Fuji also entered this Sword Storage Tower but found her Sword Dao in just half a day.

After all, having Li as a personal mentor and following a paved path makes it easy to walk.

As for Qiao Lezhi.

Zhang Ze had complete confidence in Qiao Senior Sister’s cultivation talent.

But in comprehending Sword Dao, which clearly requires temperament and wisdom, he was uncertain.

Not that Qiao Lezhi is dumb, but because of her groundbreaking wisdom and perfect logical loop.

Many of Qiao Lezhi’s ideas are paradoxical.

Oftentimes, she could get stuck in a dead end with even a simple little problem.

Then, Qiao Senior Sister would use her groundbreaking wisdom and robust physique to smash the little dead end and keep going.

But this Sword Storage Tower is a sect’s magical artifact, refined for countless years, and with Qiao Senior Sister’s cultivation, she can’t dismantle it yet.

So if anything goes wrong, squatting in this tower for years isn’t impossible.

As Zhang Ze wavered between going to find his junior sister or staying to wait a little longer, Qiao Senior Sister emerged.

"I told you, I’m a genius!" Qiao Lezhi was very pleased to see Zhang Ze just happened to be there.

Seeing Qiao Senior Sister’s confident smile, Zhang Ze asked.

"You succeeded? So fast?"

"Of course, who am I? I’m invincible at the same rank!"
