After almost all of them were healed, Cheng Qing and Li Jun stood up again and walked forward. After such a complicated interlude just now, the two of them no longer dared to be careless.2
What Cheng Qing did not expect was that Li was no longer staring at him like when he had just entered the Thousand Sword Valley and Sword Cave. Li was constantly trying to seize his weakness so that he could prove that he was not the real Su Chen.
For a very long time, Lee Yanyi was silent. His eyebrows were slightly creased and he seemed to be deep in thought. Although Cheng Qing didn't know what she was thinking, he still saw through her hesitation.
After walking around in circles for a long time, the two of them walked out of a narrow passageway. Their eyes suddenly opened up and when they could clearly see what was in front of them, Cheng Qing's eyes lit up.
This was a huge valley with a circumference of several thousand steps. The ravine was shaped like a hill, and there were beehive-like caves everywhere. There were layers upon layers of ancient trees and stone forests. One of the hills was especially broad, and on it grew a stone tree that was no taller than ten Zhang.
There was a flat ground in front of the tree, and on it was a sword. On the table was a book with quite a bit of light, so it was impossible to tell what it was.
In the catacombs, there was actually such a vast and majestic existence. It could even be described as a work of art. Cheng Qing silently exclaimed in admiration in his heart.
Li Wu was startled, and then he realized: "This is the Sword Extinction Valley at the center of the Absolute Sword Cave. I heard from my father that the Absolute Sword Valley possesses two of our sect's three supreme techniques, the Heaven Seeking Sword Technique and the Heaven Seeking Sword Scripture. They were left behind by the ancestors who founded our sect a thousand years ago.
Cheng Qing asked curiously, "It's' Sword Scriptures' and not 'Sword Techniques'?"
Li Jun solemnly nodded. "It is indeed the 'Sword Scripture'."
The sword art was completely different from the sword art. The Blue Lotus Sword Song that Cheng Qing cultivated belonged to the sword art. Every sword cultivator had to practice their sword arts. Some of them had mental cultivation methods to provide them, while others had sword styles that they could use to attack their opponents. These were all complete sword arts.
If the sword art was a "art", then the sword art was a "dao". If the sword art was a "methodology", then the sword art was a "philosophy". It was an existence of a higher level.
At the very least, to cultivators of the lower levels, the profound, obscure, and vast Sword Scripture was something which ordinary cultivators would find hard to understand. If a sword cultivator did not even comprehend the sword intent, then no matter what, he would not be able to understand it. If he tried to comprehend it forcefully, he might even go berserk.
However, there was no doubt that the Sword Scripture was a pass for sword cultivators to reach a higher level.
Cheng Qing's eyes lit up. If he could get this Immortal Sword Scripture , it would be of great help to his cultivation of the way of the sword.
He had already comprehended the second level of sword intent. If he had not had any fortuitous encounters, he would have needed at least ten years to comprehend the deeper and deeper third level of sword intent. However, if there was a Sword Scripture like the Heavenly Sword Scripture, the time limit would be greatly reduced. Perhaps it would only need five years.
This meant that Cheng Qing's strength had risen rapidly.
Li Ming glanced at Cheng Qing with a complicated look in his eyes: "It has been two hundred years since the Heaven Seeking Sword Technique and the Heaven Inquiring Sword Scripture was obtained by our sect's disciples, but the previous elder who obtained the Heaven Seeking Sword Scripture, had, because of improper comprehension, gone berserk halfway, his cultivation lost all of his consciousness, and finally died in an extremely miserable manner."
Cheng Qing smiled brightly: "Are you worrying about me, and caring about me? This humble one is very touched! "
Li Jun's face turned red as she clenched her fists and pretended to be angry: "I am reminding you that there are countless strange beasts protecting your sword in the caves. With your current cultivation level, wanting to obtain the Heaven Seeking Sword and the Heavenly Sword Scripture is equivalent to seeking your own death!"
