Chapter 689: 772 Hidden Sword, the Mysterious Heaven’s Inquiry
Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
What is this?
This is a monster...
Zuoqiu Yiren held the gourd, her red lips slightly parted, the wine she drank flowing out from the corner of her mouth, her clear eyes widened.
How long has it been?
And he already knows it!
"Didn’t the Sect Leader tell me that his Immortal Body is the same as Zhao Fujin’s, but even Zhao Fujin didn’t learn this fast..."
Zuoqiu Yiren couldn’t make sense of it, and even started to doubt if the Merak Flying Sword was really created by her, or by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo flicked his finger, and the Tianwen sword flew back to his hand. He turned to look at Zuoqiu Yiren, who was leaning against the tree, and said, "Yiren, how was it?"
Zuoqiu Yiren stood up, with a thought, she flashed to Chen Mo’s side, unable to hide the shock and astonishment in her eyes, she blurted out, "How do you know this?"
"Yiren, didn’t you just teach me?" Chen Mo said.
"I mean, how can you learn it so fast? Did you practice it before? After all, I gave you the Merak Flying Sword a few days ago, maybe you practiced during that time."
Chen Mo shook his head, "I just learned it from Yiren just now. But I still feel a bit slow, to learn these few moves it took me half an hour."
Hearing this, Zuoqiu Yiren blinked, thinking, is this even human speech?
But this was the first time she had seen such an amazing talent, she didn’t even know how to evaluate it.
No wonder the Sect Leader, while in seclusion, specially came out to inform her and asked her to teach Chen Mo.
With such talent, who wouldn’t pay attention?
No wonder they concealed his physique, if other experts found out, they would surely kidnap Chen Mo.
Holding the Tianwen sword, Chen Mo saw Zuoqiu Yiren not responding, so he waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked in confusion, "Yiren, what’s wrong? What do you think?"
Zuoqiu Yiren suppressed the shock in her heart and said calmly, "Not bad, but compared to your sister, you’re still a bit lacking."
Saying this, she summoned the Merak Sword again, "Since you’ve learned it, I’ll teach you the other fundamentals. First, is Hidden Sword. What is hidden? It’s using the environment around you, along with True Qi, to achieve invisibility..."
After speaking, Zuoqiu Yiren began to demonstrate.
Hidden Sword is harder than Unity.
This time, it took Chen Mo an hour to learn.
But even so, it left Zuoqiu Yiren astonished.
Because the Hidden Sword move is considered the strongest killing move within the Merak Flying Sword.
When combined with the Power of Space, it truly kills invisibly.
After all, you can’t even see the sword coming, plus its speed is incredibly fast, almost impossible to block or evade.
Chen Mo’s talent exceeded Zuoqiu Yiren’s expectations once again, so much that it took her several breaths to calm her emotions. Then she noticed a problem and said, "Give me your sword."
Without any suspicion, Chen Mo handed the Tianwen over to Zuoqiu Yiren.
Zuoqiu Yiren casually planted the Merak Sword in the ground, took the Tianwen, joined two fingers together like a sword, and with True Qi surging, pointed at the Tianwen.
"Clang!"
The crisp sound resonated in both their ears.
While Chen Mo was wondering, Zuoqiu Yiren said, "There’s something strange about this sword of yours..."
As she spoke, she picked up the Merak Sword that was planted in the ground.
Zuoqiu Yiren held the Tianwen in her left hand and the Merak Sword in her right, and the two swords clashed, sparking fire.
"As I thought, your sword’s grade is quite high." Zuoqiu Yiren returned the sword to Chen Mo and continued, "Although I didn’t activate the Merak Sword, it is, after all, a Middle Grade Dao Artifact, and when activated can even cut Top Grade Magical Artifacts, but earlier it couldn’t cut your sword."
"Moreover, the effectiveness of the Hidden Sword is also related to the quality of the sword. The better the sword, the higher its grade, the better it can hide. Conversely, if the sword is poor, the effect is worse. When I looked at your sword earlier, it seemed to achieve effects not lesser than the Merak Sword."
Chen Mo had noticed this long ago.
During his duel with Xiao Yunqi and the Heaven-Burning Furnace, he found something odd.
The Tianwen turned out to be stronger than he had imagined.
"Yiren, why don’t you activate the Merak Sword and try cutting it again?" Chen Mo wanted to test the durability of the Tianwen.
Zuoqiu Yiren shook her head, once activated, she might not be able to hold back when they clash, and if she cuts too deeply, Chen Mo’s sword would be ruined.
"If it’s broken, you won’t have a sword to use. This sword is extraordinary in grade, so you should avoid testing it casually." Zuoqiu Yiren said.
Chen Mo thought so too, after all, he found it on the Canglan Continent, how could it be of a higher grade than the Merak Sword?
One test and it would be ruined.
"Did you ever try to refine it?" Zuoqiu Yiren asked.
Chen Mo replied, "I tried, even dripped blood on it, but nothing happened. At that time, I thought it was because it wasn’t a Magical Artifact, but now it seems that’s not the case."
Upon hearing this, Zuoqiu Yiren became curious, took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment, and said, "If it were a Magical Artifact, even without the Activation Technique, refining it should stir a reaction. It might be a Dao Artifact, and Dao Artifacts possess an Artifact Spirit. To refine it, you must earn its approval."
There’s also a possibility that it’s an Immortal Artifact that’s lost its Artifact Spirit."
"How could it be an Immortal Artifact?!"
This, even Chen Mo didn’t believe, since he picked up the Tianwen, and the simulated introduction merely stated it was a treasure sword that could cut iron like mud.
Immortal Artifacts are rare in the whole Primordial Heaven.
How could the Canglan Continent have one? But maybe it could be hoped that it might be a Dao Artifact...
Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t dwell on this topic. Although Chen Mo had learned the Hidden Sword, allowing them to proceed to the next lesson, Zuoqiu Yiren was already tired, the wine in her gourd almost gone, she didn’t want to teach anymore.
"Today’s cultivation ends here, go brew some Immortal Drunk for me, and I’ll teach you again tomorrow."
After speaking, Zuoqiu Yiren, carrying her gourd and sword, vanished before Chen Mo’s eyes.
Chen Mo: "..."
How long was that lesson in total, and now it’s over?
He hadn’t even asked if the Merak Flying Sword could only perform Sword Control, and not Imperial Spear?
Forget it, he’ll figure it out himself later.
Time flashed by, a week passed.
For this whole week, Zuoqiu Yiren had been teaching Chen Mo the basics of the Merak Flying Sword.
What could have been completed in a day was stretched over seven days by Zuoqiu Yiren.
However, this allowed Chen Mo to grasp it even more thoroughly.
Along with the choices from the simulation rewards over seven days, he consistently chose the ten-day cultivation experience in the Merak Flying Sword, deepening his understanding further.
Now he only awaits his breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm to develop Divine Sense.
Another two days passed.
With Zuoqiu Yiren’s help.
Alright, under his persuasion, Chen Mo acquired the medicinal herbs for the second Chapter of the True Explanation of the Minor Profound Technique — the Golden Core Chapter, from Zuoqiu Yiren, allowing him to sculpt his true body.
It was also on this day that news of the sect missions reached his ears.
