The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 035

Chapter 035 Lunar Inheritance
On this day, it was clear and sunny outside. Liu Ke’er suddenly ran back from the outside and shouted at Li Qing, “Wood, wood, quickly come over and take a look. Something strange happened at the waterfall.”

“What’s the matter?” Li Qing asked.

Liu Ke’er grabbed his hand and rushed over to the waterfall. As she walked, she said, “The waterfall has stopped flowing. I saw a cave in it.”

The two of them walked over and saw that the waterfall had indeed stopped flowing. There was only a thin layer of water curtain, and they could clearly see a pitch-black hole behind it.

“I didn’t expect this place to be so unique. Let’s go inside and take a look.”

The two of them leapt in and directly jumped over the small pond to the entrance of the cave. Li Qing lit a torch and lit up the darkness. Then, he carefully led Liu Ke’er inside.

“It’s so cold.” Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but shrink her neck. It was midsummer, and it shouldn’t be so cold even in the cave. It was really strange.

“No wonder the water in the creek and stone pond outside is so cold all year round. We have never understood why. Now, it seems like it has something to do with this place.” Li Jin guessed.

The cave was deep and stretched inwards, not knowing how far it was. There were traces of sword cutting on the surrounding rock walls. Clearly, this passage was dug by someone. It was unknown when it belonged to, and it was not a natural cave. No wonder the valley was protected by clouds and mist formations. Originally, this place was inhabited. I wonder if the owner of this place is inside.

Inside the cave, the temperature was very low, and there was a chill rising. It looked hazy, like a paradise, extremely mysterious. There was actually a murmuring sound of flowing water beneath his feet. He lowered his head and saw that it was a thin stream of water flowing out from the depths of the cave and flowing out into the small stone pond.

“So mysterious. Could it be an ice cellar?” They grew more and more curious about the cave.

The journey was safe and sound. The two of them walked inside for a long time before finally reaching the end. The innermost part was a stone door. The stone door was not closed, and one could see a stone room behind it.

The two of them carefully entered the stone room. The cold mist here became even heavier. Li Qing lifted the torch and lit up the stone room. Upon closer inspection, the two of them were immediately shocked. It turned out that there was a living person sitting in front of them!

‘”Ah–” Liu Ke’er screamed, hugged Li Qing, and hid behind him, her face pale with fear.

Li Qing was also shocked, but he did not panic. He looked carefully and discovered something strange. The man’s eyes were tightly closed, motionless, and lifeless. He was clearly dead. He patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. This isn’t a living person. He’s already dead.”

Only then did Liu Ke’er dare to reveal her head, but she still hugged Li Jin tightly. She heaved a sigh of relief and said, “So it’s just a dead man. He scared me to death. Who is he? Why did he die here? Could he be the original owner of the Hundred Flowers Valley?”

“Very likely.” Li Qing raised the torch high up and saw the situation inside through the flames.

This person was a middle-aged woman. Her appearance was extremely beautiful and her face was pale. Although his eyes were closed, he could vaguely feel the majesty of a superior, like an immortal queen mother in the sky, lofty and lofty, looking down on the world, causing people to not dare to look straight at him.

What surprised Li Qing even more was that even though she had died, she still emitted a powerful aura. It was extremely terrifying, and it felt like she was much stronger than Elder Liu.

This was a super expert!

Li Qing was shocked, his heart trembling, as if he was facing a god, unable to restrain himself. This was not his timidity, but the instinctive reaction of the inferior to the oppressive might of the superior.

Legend has it that even if a supreme expert died, his body would still remain immortal and not fall into the mortal world, something extraordinary people could desecrate.

Li Qing didn’t dare to look any further. He hurriedly turned his head and this feeling immediately disappeared. He raised his head and looked around the room. The middle-aged woman was sitting on a stone bed. There was a futon in front of her. There was a small pond not far from her. There was a translucent sword stuck in the pond.

“What a beautiful sword.” Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but shout.

“This sword is extraordinary.” Li Qing said. This was because the first time he saw this sword, he felt as if he had seen a Heavenly Saber. The two weapons have a similar quality.

At this moment, it was stuck in a small pond. The pond was not big, and it would occasionally overflow water. The flowing water gathered together to form a trickle, flowing towards the entrance of the cave, and finally into the stream.

It seemed that this sparkling divine sword was the source of the cold water outside.

However, Li Qing was puzzled, “Why does this small pond keep flowing water? Where did this water come from?” The cave was closed and there was no water source. Where did this water come from?

He looked at the cold mist around the pond and thought for a moment. He quickly came up with the answer, “This water comes from the air. When the water vapor in the air is cold, it will condense into droplets of water and converge next to the divine sword. In the end, it will form this small pond.”

“Isn’t this too exaggerated? Just by placing it here, you can form such a phenomenon. What grade of treasured sword is this?” Liu Ke’er couldn’t help but praise.

“Let’s go see if we can pull it out.” Li Qing said.

The two of them walked towards the divine sword, but they felt that the vicinity of the divine sword was several times colder than their surroundings, as if even the air could freeze and enter their bones. Strangely, the water in the pond did not freeze. It was truly a miraculous thing.

After taking a few steps, they were unable to advance, because it was too cold to approach the sword. Ice crystals had formed on their clothes and hair, and even if they activated their True Qi defense, they would not be able to withstand it.

“What a terrifying sword.” Li Qing couldn’t help but shiver.

“Back off, don’t force yourself.” He said. Thus, the two of them retreated. They could only look at the sword from afar. They were extremely greedy, but they could not take it out. It was as if they had entered a treasure mountain and returned empty-handed.

Li Qing took a few steps inside the stone room with the torch and looked around. Suddenly, he noticed that there were words carved on the wall. He walked closer and saw a poem carved on the wall. It was made of iron and silver hooks with an awe-inspiring aura.

Shi yue:

The Lunar Sword slashed through the world like a rainbow.

Looking back on his triumph in life, it turned out that it was all in vain.

“It’s all in vain.” Li Qing unconsciously muttered to himself. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “No matter how heroic you are, you will eventually turn into a pile of loess.”

He was infected by this poem and suddenly felt great sorrow in his heart. Tears seemed to be rolling down his cheeks. However, he immediately came to his senses and was shocked, “What a powerful method!” Just a single poem could affect others to such an extent that it was impossible to guard against. His cultivation must have been heaven-shaking and earth-shattering in his lifetime.

This poem contained a terrifying will to martial arts. Li Qing was unable to resist it, so he was deeply trapped in it and almost cried out.

He couldn’t help but turn to look at Liu Ke’er. She was currently looking at Li Qing with tears in her eyes. Her brows were filled with emotion. It was obvious that she was deeply affected by this poem. She didn’t know what she had thought of, but tears flowed out of her eyes.

She wiped her tears and blushed, “How embarrassing. I was made to cry by a poem.”

Li Qing said, “I’m not much stronger. I almost cried.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then hugged each other tightly. After reading this poem, they cherished each other even more in their hearts.

Even such a powerful figure would eventually turn into loess and be annihilated. How could he possibly surpass her? It was better to cherish the person in front of him. There was no need for him to care about the world. As long as he was with his beloved person and lived happily for a lifetime, he would be satisfied.

After a long time, the two of them separated.

“Looks like there’s nothing else here.” He swept his gaze around and found that the stone room was empty, without any new discoveries.

“It’s a pity that the sword can’t be taken out.” Liu Ke’er sighed with great regret.

“This sword has no destiny with us. You can’t force it. An expert of the Stone Chamber Master’s level must have an arrangement. Let’s go. There’s nothing to see here. Don’t disturb the rest of the dead.” Li Qing left the stone room with Liu Ke’er.

The surrounding cold mist grew thicker and thicker, enveloping this place. It was hazy and unexpectedly impossible to see clearly.

Li Qing walked out of the stone room and suddenly discovered that the world in front of him had changed greatly. It was no longer in the cave, but a vast sea of clouds.

What made him even more shocked was that Liu Ke’er had disappeared!

“Ke’er, Ke’er–where are you?” He panicked and shouted loudly.

However, this place was a vast expanse of white, where could there be any figures?

After experiencing so much tempering and maturing, Li Qing quickly calmed down. He guessed in his heart, “This should be an illusion! But why is Ke Er gone? I was clearly holding her hand.”

‘”Oh right, a brilliant illusion is not just a visual deception. It can even block the senses of hearing, touch, and spirit. Could it be that I was already in the illusion when I left the stone room, bringing out a fake Liu Ke’er, while the real Ke’er is still inside?”

He thought bitterly in his heart, thinking of all kinds of possibilities. However, it was certain that there wouldn’t be any danger at the moment, because if the owner of the stone room really had any intentions of harming others, there was no need to use such an arduous method. Even though she was already dead, with her thorough methods, she could still easily kill them.

“Could it be that the master of the stone room wants Liu Ke’er to accept the inheritance? That should be right. An expert of her level will definitely not be willing to die just like that and will leave her inheritance behind.”

He could only wait patiently on the spot. Unable to crack the illusion, everything he did was in vain.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene in front of him finally changed greatly. The sea of clouds disappeared and Li Qing returned to the cave.

He immediately ran back into the stone room. Sure enough, Liu Ke’er was kneeling on the prayer mat on the ground and saluting the middle-aged woman on the stone bed.

“Ke’er, what’s going on?” He asked.

Liu Ke’er turned around in surprise and said, “Mu Tou, you’re here. I just entered an illusion and accepted the inheritance inside.” She told her story.

It turned out that just as she was walking out with Li Qing, a burst of cold mist suddenly surged over. Then Li Qing disappeared, and she appeared in a sea of clouds world. Immediately after, the middle-aged woman’s phantom appeared in the illusion, allowing Liu Ke’er to take her as her master and accept the inheritance.

Liu Ke’er agreed to take her as her master and accepted the inheritance. The middle-aged woman instilled the inheritance into Liu Ke’er’s mind and branded it deeply. She couldn’t forget it even if she wanted to.

The middle-aged woman did not tell her her name. Instead, she warned Liu Ke’er not to reveal her inheritance, or else there would be a great calamity.

After doing all this, the middle-aged woman’s phantom image dissipated.

Liu Ke’er said to Li Qing, “The inheritance I obtained is called ‘Lunar True Solution’. It is very powerful. In addition, I learned that the formation around Hundred Flowers Valley is called the Mysterious Immortal Illusion Formation. It was personally set up by the master of the stone room. Even Xiantian experts are unable to walk out.”

“Even Xiantian experts are unable to leave? Then what should we do?” Li Qing was worried. Even an immortal could be confused by an Immortal Confusion Formation, let alone a minor character like them.

“Fortunately, I obtained a method to break through the inheritance. That divine sword is the formation eye of the Mysterious Immortal Illusion Formation. As long as I pull out this sword, the formation will collapse. However, if I want to pull out that sword, I need to cultivate the Lunar True Solution.”

Li Qing was overjoyed and said, “That’s great. Finally, there’s a way out.”

However, Liu Ke’er blushed slightly and said hesitantly, “However, there is still one condition for cultivating the Lunar True Solution.”
