Killing God - Chapter 432

Chapter 432 Old Bamboo House

The Snow Pouring Sword’s sword light was like snow, flying above the clouds, creating a light ray of light in this endless sea of clouds and clouds in the night sky. Sharp winds blew across his face, and his clothes danced wildly. Shen Shi looked ahead, his eyes fixed on a certain place in the depths of the darkness as he flew through the sky.

He had just cultivated the Imperial Sword Technique before coming to Yuanshi Sect, When he was on the Golden Rainbow Mountain in Lingxiao Sect that day, of course, he had tried flying with his sword many times. However, most of the time, he was flying around a mountain with a clear line of sight or in his small valley. It was the first time he had jumped out of a dangerous cliff like tonight and soared above the clouds.

However, the Snow Pouring Sword could be given to him as a prize by all the Elders of Lingxiao Sect. This Spirit Sword itself was indeed extraordinary. Even though the wind was fierce in the sky, the Snow Pouring Sword was still able to fly steadily under the control of the Imperial Sword Technique. It did not tremble or shake as if it was going to fall to pieces.

This also reassured Shen Shi, who was still a little nervous at first. However, he quickly discovered another unsettling thing, and that was the distance he flew towards the flash of light. In this dark night, it was actually much farther than he had originally judged.

He rode his sword and flew for a while, only to discover that the sea of clouds was boundless. It seemed that he had yet to reach the place he wanted to go. At this moment, the Spiritual Qi in his body was already at a bottomless danger.

After all, he was only a mid-level Origin Condensation Realm cultivator. Even cultivating the Imperial Sword Technique was only a few days old. Whether it was in terms of proficiency or Spiritual Energy, he could not support him to fly for too long. He could not fly above the Nine Heavens for as long as a Divine Concept cultivator.

After persisting for a while, Shen Shi still didn’t see the white light in front of him. There was still a vast sea of clouds in front of him. He sighed in his heart with some unwillingness. There was a faint sense of disappointment and sadness, but he still circulated his spiritual energy and bent slightly down.

The Snow Pouring Sword turned downwards like a snowy sword light from its parallel flight. Soon, it submerged into the clouds and began to descend.

After about half a cup of tea, Shen Shi passed through the thick clouds and continued to descend towards the ground below his feet. After leaving the clouds, the strong wind seemed to lessen a lot, making it easier for Shen Shi to control the Snow Pouring Sword. At this moment, when he looked at the ground beneath his feet, he saw another scene.

Without the endless sea of clouds, the majestic Xumi Mountain Range once again appeared beneath his feet. The majestic peaks stood tall and short, like giants silently standing in the darkness.

Just as Shen Shi was about to find a suitable place to rest and wait for his Spiritual Energy to recover, he suddenly heard a voice.

A voice that sounded familiar, but it didn’t seem like it should have appeared at this moment.

“Whoosh … whoosh … whoosh …”

He, who had lived on Golden Rainbow Mountain in the sea for a long time, almost immediately felt that it was the sound of tides rolling in the sea. It was like a tide, repeatedly slapping the coast in the dark night, as if it would never stop. However, this place was the Xumi Immortal Mountain. In the central inland of the Primordial Chaos Continent, where could there be ocean tides?

With some doubts, he lowered his head and urged the Snow Pouring Sword to fly downwards. As he approached the Xumi Immortal Mountain beneath his feet, the tidal sound coming from the darkness became clearer and clearer.

Following this strange sound, Shen Shi swept across the mountains and soon discovered that the sound wasn’t coming from those towering mountains. Instead, it was coming from a small mountain hidden in the shadows of darkness beneath the peaks.

He drove his flying sword lower and lower, and the sound of the ocean waves grew louder and louder. Finally, at some point, he found the place, the place where the strange tidal waves came from.

That place was still not the sea, it was indeed a mountain.

Under the faint starlight, a mountain was filled with cultivated bamboo. That night, the wind blew and the bamboo branches swayed, causing it to fluctuate like a sea of bamboo. The sound of the waves came from this sea of bamboo. In the dead of night, the waves of bamboo waves added serenity.

Shen Shi looked at the sea of bamboo beneath his feet. Hearing the sound of the bamboo waves, his heart suddenly shook. It was as if he had thought of something, and his expression slightly changed. Wasn’t this scene in front of him the same as what Senior Brother Du Tiejian had told him about the place where the sages lived in seclusion in the past?

For a moment, Shen Shi couldn’t help but hesitate in his heart. If this mountain in front of him was really the Great Bamboo Peak where Yuan Wentian lived in seclusion, then it would naturally be the Origin Core Forbidden Ground. The risk of him trespassing into it was self-evident. However … He lowered his head and looked at his right hand. The light on the fragment of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword seemed to be very weak, but the remaining sword light had simultaneously tilted towards the bamboo mountain beneath his feet.

It was clear that there was no sign of hesitation.

Shen Shi raised his head and took a deep look at this seemingly inconspicuous mountain in the Xumi Mountain Range. At the same time, he recalled the illusion he had seen on the Enlightenment Stone and the man who had his back to him. Perhaps the person on the Enlightenment Stone was Yuan Wentian? Then was the ancient sword in his hand the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword?

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his breathing became somewhat hurried. After a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely and landed.

Bamboo waves echoed in the mountains like calm and gentle waves.

④

Since it was the forbidden area of the Origin World, there were naturally unusual precautions and risks. Normally, Shen Shi would have avoided them. However, he had seen the power of the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword in the end. That kind of powerful power was enough to make all the cultivators in the world unable to resist it.

With some vigilance and nervousness, he quietly approached the top of the mountain. In order to conceal his tracks, he immediately put away the Snow Pouring Sword and jumped into the shadows of a bamboo forest on the ground.

After stepping on the solid ground, Shen Shi immediately lowered his body and looked around nervously. However, the surroundings were quiet and there was no unusual movement. Apart from the waves of bamboo waves, this mountain seemed to be no different from an ordinary uninhabited hill.

Shen Shi waited on the spot for a moment. After confirming that there was no one around, Only then did he slowly stand up and begin to walk forward. However, he only took two steps forward. He hesitated for a moment and lowered his head to look at the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword in his hand. At this moment, the sword light on it seemed to have exhausted all of its power. The last bit of light also dissipated, returning to its original silent state, as if it had fallen back into slumber.

Shen Shi frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he put the broken sword back into his Ruyi bag and continued to walk forward carefully.

At this moment, he was in a bamboo forest, surrounded by cultivators of all sizes. At the same time, there were bamboo shoots and half-tall bamboos that could be seen everywhere on the ground. They were erected from a thick layer of fallen bamboo leaves. When he stepped on the fallen leaves, he felt a touch of softness. He didn’t know how many years this bamboo forest had existed. Or perhaps, at some point in the past, a sage had walked through this forest and raised his head with his hands behind his back, staring at this green bamboo forest?

As Shen Shi walked, he felt that the bamboo forest was exceptionally quiet, and the sound of the bamboo waves seemed to be farther away.

The air was filled with the unique aura of a green bamboo. It was refreshing and relaxed. However, he had thought that this place might be heavily guarded, but after walking for a long time, he had not discovered it by himself.

Shen Shi even had a faint illusion that he was the only person on this bamboo mountain.

Could it be that he had recognized the wrong place? This was not the Great Bamboo Peak where Sage Yuan Wentian lived in seclusion? Otherwise, why was there no one guarding such an important place?

With all sorts of doubts in his heart, Shen Shi continued to walk cautiously. After walking for a while, he suddenly felt that the front was suddenly wide open, but he unknowingly walked to the edge of the bamboo forest. His heart trembled slightly. He leaned out and took a closer look, only to see that there was a flat open space outside the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain. There were a few ordinary cottages built on top of it.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously looked around. However, the mountain wind blew coldly, and the surroundings were still quiet.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but he still took a step forward and walked towards those rooms. The entire journey was incredibly calm. Only a wisp of starlight faintly descended from the horizon. It was unknown how many years had passed since it shone on this small house in the remote mountains.

Finally, Shen Shi stood there.

It turned out that these small houses were built from cutting down tough bamboo, simple and ordinary. He walked outside the largest looking bamboo house in the middle for no reason and felt that his throat was a little dry. After taking a deep breath, he reached forward and gently pushed the door made of bamboo in the night.

“Squeak …”

With a low voice, the bamboo door opened.

It was dark in the room, but there was no movement other than that.

Shen Shi stood at the door for a moment, and his breathing became somewhat anxious. After calming down slightly, he gritted his teeth and walked into the bamboo house.

The mountain breeze blew in through the door behind him, causing people to feel a chill in the room. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time, so Shen Shi could not feel any vitality. The bamboo house was a little dark, Perhaps because the wall blocked the starlight outside, everything in the room seemed to be shadowy and hazy. He could only barely see that there were some simple tables and chairs in the room. However, Shen Shi soon discovered that there seemed to be something unusual under the wall in the deepest part of the bamboo house.

In the shadows of darkness, there was a long strip-shaped object that stretched over there. It was like a box, as well as an incense table that was commonly seen in temples. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before walking towards that direction.

As he approached, he quickly discovered that the shape seemed to be a long table used for worship, and the few things that were vaguely erected on the table seemed to be incense candles. On the incense table and the wall behind the table, there seemed to be something that could not be seen clearly.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past. Shen Shi felt a sudden chill behind him. At that moment, his heart was filled with fear. He suddenly turned around and discovered that there was nothing behind him except the dark shadow.

The corner of Shen Shi’s eyes twitched slightly. After standing silently for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and extended his finger. A moment later, a small ball of flame lit up from his fingertips, illuminating the incense candles on the incense table. His face was grim and his eyes were a little nervous, but he still lit the candle.

The flames lit up and the light chased away the darkness in the room. A moment later, Shen Shi could clearly see what was before him.

At the same time, outside the bamboo house, the night breeze suddenly became anxious. The sound of the bamboo waves rose and fell like waves, and the waves of the sea gradually became anxious.
