Chapter 224 Kunlun Mystery
There are many peaks in the territory of Dali Sword Sect.
In addition to the sixty-eight peaks selected as the dojo, there are many areas of vast mountains. Due to the lack of spiritual energy and insufficient resources, these mountains have become ownerless lands that no one cares about. Even the Elders' Council will not pay too much attention to these areas. Only the remaining areas still belong to Dali Sword Sect in name.
Tianzhu Peak is such an ownerless land.
However, its situation is somewhat special. According to legend, Tianzhu Peak was once a mountain dojo with abundant spiritual energy and a prosperous population in the past, but later an incident called the "Red Moon Tribulation" occurred. Not only did the chief seat, elders, and deacons all die, but even the underground spiritual veins were completely destroyed, and there was no spiritual energy growing anymore. Gradually, this place became a Jedi, and no one visited it anymore.
Li Zhiting, a disciple of Cuizhu Peak, was walking in this uninhabited mountain area at this time, feeling very anxious.
A major incident occurred at the Jingnan Chamber of Commerce. I don't know how it suddenly offended the evil star Lu Yu. The news came back that the Yuanjiangxu City branch was in danger.
At the same time, the Chu family also sent letters for help again and again, saying that the branches in various places had suffered attacks from unknown sources, and the entire Jingnan Chamber of Commerce had been completely paralyzed.
Combining the news from both sides, Li Zhiting had reason to believe that all this was the work of the evil star Lu Yu. In less than half a day, he received a total of 21 letters for help, which fully demonstrated the urgency of the situation. For such a major matter, he naturally did not dare to make a decision casually, so he had to ask Chu Yunhe for instructions.
Chu Yunhe was also in this mountain area at this time.
He had a different way of comprehending the Great Light Sword Art than Jiang Feiyan. After flipping through the general catalog of the sword art he wanted to learn in the Sutra Tower, he left the Sutra Tower and went around.
As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. In his opinion, appreciating the magnificent scenery of various mountains and rivers will be more helpful for him to comprehend the sword tactics.
Until more than a month ago, Chu Yunhe came here and was deeply moved by the majestic mountains here. He climbed to the top of Tianzhu Peak and never came down again.
Even when Li Zhiting sent him an emergency call through the exclusive communication, he did not respond.
"Is Senior Brother Chu really on this mountain?"
At this time, following Li Zhiting here, there were several other disciples from Cuizhu Peak, all of whom were loyal to Chu Yunhe. They were also as anxious as Li Zhiting.
"If Senior Brother Chu doesn't come out again, no one will be able to control Lu Yu. I'm afraid the entire Jingnan Chamber of Commerce will be finished!"
"Senior Brother Li, why don't you go up and report this to Senior Brother Chu in person!"
Li Zhiting looked up at the Tianzhu Peak in front of him. He saw that the main body of the mountain was towering into the clouds, and the top could not be seen at a glance. Moreover, the cliffs were thousands of feet high, and the four sides were bare, just like a pillar supporting the sky. It really deserves the name of Tianzhu Peak.
Ordinary people would probably tremble with their legs if they just look at such a mountain.
As a core disciple of Cuizhu Peak, Li Zhiting is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, but he dare not easily set foot on this mountain, because there are still strong winds in the sky. If his cultivation is not good enough, he will be caught in the turbulent flow of strong winds and be torn to pieces.
In fact, the reason why Tianzhu Peak has become what it is today is precisely because of the continuous erosion of the turbulent flow of strong winds, which has turned it into a huge cylindrical mountain.
"Let's wait a little longer... Anyway, the message has been sent, and Senior Brother Chu has not responded. This means that he must be at a critical moment of enlightenment. Let's not disturb him rashly!"
Li Zhiting was embarrassed to say that he didn't dare to go up, so he found an excuse to shirk.
He was the one with the highest cultivation among these disciples. Even he didn't dare to take the risk to go up, and the others had no choice but to continue to wait anxiously, praying in their hearts that Senior Brother Chu would respond as soon as possible.
I don't know if their prayers worked, but suddenly a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
"Look, what's going on!" The disciple who first discovered the strange phenomenon shouted in horror.
The others looked up one after another.
I don't know when it started, but thick clouds suddenly gathered around Tianzhu Peak, covering the entire sky tightly. The rolling thick clouds were like millstones, rotating continuously with Tianzhu Peak as the axis.
From the perspective of several people, it seemed as if the whole world was rotating.
"This... Could it be that Senior Brother Chu finally comprehended the sword art?"
Li Zhiting said in surprise. There was only Chu Yunhe on Tianzhu Peak, so such a strange phenomenon could only be related to him.
"Is this the Great Kunlun Sword Art?" The other disciples also exclaimed.
They had always known that Chu Yunhe had been preparing to comprehend the Great Kunlun Sword Art, one of the thirty-six magic arts, but they had only heard of the reputation of the Great Kunlun Sword Art and had never seen what kind of sword art it was.
Boom!
As if to answer their doubts, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Then, a scene that shocked them happened!
The towering Tianzhu Peak in front of them suddenly began to sink rapidly, shrinking back to the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Several Cuizhu Peak disciples were stunned.
Li Zhiting slapped himself hard, wanting to confirm whether he was dreaming.
However, his face hurt, it was not a dream.
Li Zhiting's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. If all this was true, then this power was too terrible, making him feel fear instinctively.
After dozens of breaths, the entire Tianzhu Peak was completely submerged in the ground. The originally towering mountain was gone in the blink of an eye.
A tall man appeared in everyone's sight.
He was Chu Yunhe, the new disciple who had come with the entire Tianzhu Peak.
Chu Yunhe put his sword back into the sheath and walked down from the Tianzhu Peak, which had become a small mound.
As he sheathed the sword, the thick clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, the sky became clear, as if nothing had happened before.
At this point, there was no need to say more, all these changes were indeed his masterpiece.
"Congratulations... Congratulations to the master, congratulations... Congratulations to the master! Finally comprehended the Great Kunlun Sword Technique!"
Li Zhiting's face was pale and his voice trembled.
Originally, when there were other people around, he would not treat Chu Yunhe as master and servant, but at this moment, with his heart agitated, he naturally put himself in the position of a slave.
The others did not think there was anything wrong with this, and they all followed to congratulate.
"Sister Jiang hid in the Sutra Pagoda for several years before she finally comprehended the Great Light Sword Art. I didn't expect that Senior Brother Chu only took a few months to comprehend the Great Kunlun Sword Art, which is also one of the thirty-six magic arts!"
"It can be seen that Senior Brother Chu's talent and understanding are not inferior to Senior Sister Jiang at all. During the holidays, Senior Brother Chu's achievements will definitely be higher than Senior Sister Jiang!"
"By then, we will not have a senior sister in Cuizhu Peak, and Senior Brother Chu will become the senior brother of all of us!"
...
After calming down, several disciples of Cuizhu Peak immediately became excited again.
Chu Yunhe's strength shows that they really did not follow the wrong person, and their status in Cuizhu Peak will inevitably rise in the future.
However, Chu Yunhe shook his head and sighed sadly when he heard the praises of the crowd.
"Thirty-six magic arts... How can it be so easy to comprehend!"
Everyone was stunned.
Li Zhiting asked cautiously: "Didn't you just perform the Great Kunlun Sword Technique?"
Chu Yunhe answered irrelevantly: "Do you know the meaning of the word 'Kunlun'?"
Li Zhiting was stunned and answered honestly: "I don't know."
Chu Yunhe's eyes were blurred, as if he was explaining to Li Zhiting, but more like thinking for himself.
"Kunlun, according to legend, is a sacred mountain in the world of the immortals, suppressing all the worlds. It is so magnificent that even the starry sky cannot fully contain it. The Middle-earth world we live in may be even smaller than a piece of stone in it..."
"It symbolizes the root of the earth, the beginning of the mountains and rivers, and the source of the world! The Great Kunlun Sword Art is derived from the mystery in it. If you don't have a deep understanding of the world itself, you can't understand the mystery hidden in it at all."
"What I just performed is indeed the Great Kunlun Sword Art, but I can't fully understand this mystery. At best, I can only be regarded as just stepping into the threshold!"
Chu Yunhe said with emotion.
Li Zhiting couldn't understand the mystery of Kunlun either. He was confused by Chu Yunhe's explanation, but he understood the last sentence, which made him stunned.
Such a huge power, but it's just the beginning?
If it is the complete form of the Great Kunlun Sword Art, how powerful would it be?
I am afraid that the whole world will be completely overturned...
The more Li Zhiting thought about it, the more thrilling he felt, and at the same time, he was conflicted.
Since Chu Yunhe has just entered the door, is it appropriate to report to him about the Jingnan Chamber of Commerce now? Will it interrupt his thoughts on the Great Kunlun Sword Art?
"Let's go!"
When Li Zhiting was struggling in his heart, Chu Yunhe said decisively.
"Where to go?" Li Zhiting was stunned.
Chu Yunhe gave him a strange look.
"Where else can we go? Of course, Yuanjiang Market!"
"Master, you already know?"
"That Lu Yu made such a big fuss, how could I not know?"
Chu Yunhe snorted heavily.
"Not only you, the head of the Chu family has also sent me several messages asking for help! Considering that the Chu family has been supporting us for so many years, I must help them this time no matter what!"
"And..."
Chu Yunhe looked towards the direction of Yuanjiang Market, gazing into the distance.
"Isn't it rumored that Jiang Feiyan comprehended the Great Light Sword Art after seeing his Star Sword Art?"
"It just so happens that I will go and experience it myself this time to see if this legendary Star Sword Art is really so magical, and whether it can make me have a deeper understanding of the Great Kunlun Sword Art like Jiang Feiyan!"
