There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 39
Chapter 39: 039, [Non-Swordbearer]
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, in the outskirts of the Demon Sect.
Ji Li’s single hand props up her cheek, squeezing out a crease on her slightly chubby face.
Her mind wanders, counting the days.
—It’s been N days since she last saw Lu Xun.
Clearly, the last time they parted ways in the back mountains, Lu Xun had kindly promised he would visit her, a promise she had taken to heart.
On the day she descended the mountain, she felt the gentleness of the wind, the brilliance of the sun, the fragrance of the flowers… even her toes unconsciously tipped upwards.
However, as the days went by, apart from a distant encounter at a grand ceremony, Lu Xun had never come to visit.
What upset her the most was that upon deep thought, she realized she might not even have the right to be upset.
Lu Xun, now her Young Elder, was one of the most respected individuals in the Demon Sect. With his status laid out plainly before her, there was an inherent distance between them.
As for her, she was, for now, just a lowly Outer Sect Disciple.
But the girls’ thoughts are ultimately complex, even though logic tells her:
such is the truth, you have no right to be upset. Her emotions protested — I won’t comply!
Hmph! Another day of sulking!
What’s interesting though is that despite being upset for so long, her Favorability index hasn’t dropped at all…
Named Little Li’zi, but in reality a soft persimmon. Perhaps Ji Li is just destined to be bullied.
Just as she was daydreaming, she vaguely saw a semi-transparent ripple spreading around.
“Am I seeing things?” She thought to herself.
However, the next moment, her Wedding Sword that was placed aside suddenly quivered!
Although the vibration of the sword was fleeting, Ji Li still caught it.
“What’s happening?” the clueless Little Li’zi began to feel confused.
She didn’t know that the strange celestial phenomena and the sword’s vibration had not ceased at all!
Water Cloud Peak, one of the main peaks of the Demon Sect.
A portly and robust figure was practicing swordsmanship.
Murong Yan, holding her swan feather sword, was practicing the unique swordsmanship of the Water Cloud Peak.
Despite her appearance resembling a ball, she was most adept at body movements, her entire self dancing gracefully, most resembling a butterfly-shaped… a balloon with a butterfly sticker, that is.
In other words, she was a nimble fat girl.
After demonstrating a complete set of swordsmanship, Murong Yan held her long sword, and danced a flower in the air with it.
Compared to before returning to the sect, her cultivation base had become more refined.
Because a few days prior, the sect had rewarded her a Spirit Pill, which was her reward for accompanying Mao Nanbei on their trip.
After all, Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters knew that Mao Nanbei was not an easy person to deal with.
It was already good enough that she didn’t cause any trouble, let alone being obedient and sensible.
Therefore, accompanying her on the trip was considered a hard task, and they deserved a reward.
Just as Murong Yan was about to take a rest, she also saw the semi-transparent ripples spreading in the air.
And the swan feather sword she was holding in her right hand also quivered slightly.
Compared to the vibration of the Wedding Sword, this quiver was much more subtle.
But Murong Yan was sharp enough to notice it.
She lifted her round, naive face to the sky, looking puzzled.
In the bamboo forest of the back mountain.
Gu Xiaoman, the second elder sister, was sitting high on a boulder.
She nodded slightly, seeming quite satisfied.
The semi-transparent ripples also spread here, and the only difference was…
—the wooden hairpin in her hair remained still.
The celestial anomaly spread in all directions within a radius of tens of miles, and most of the magic swords in the Demon Sect began to vibrate!
Yes, that connection between the swords, it only belongs to the artifact-level swords like the Yellow Martial.
No responses from any longsword higher than an artifact level were detected.
But longswords at the artifact level are the mainstream for disciples.
This celestial phenomenon has directly elicited responses from hundreds of magic swords!
Many disciples from the Demon Sect had questions in their hearts:
Where did that semi-transparent ripple just come from?
Why couldn’t my magical sword resist vibrating just now?
The Outer Sect Disciples knew less because they were still far from that realm, but the Inner Sect Disciples mostly understood what was going on.
Could it be…someone has condensed a Sword Heart!?
Word goes that those who have a clear Sword Heart can advance faster and farther on the path of Sword Dao. However, not every sword cultivator can have a Sword Heart. Having one indicates an extraordinary talent for Sword Dao!
This has nothing to do with cultivation talent, it only depends on your understanding of Sword Dao, it’s all about the Sword!
Among the many Inner Sect Disciples of the Demon Sect, only a few have cultivated a Sword Heart. For example, Murong Yan, even after many years of hard cultivation, still lacks just a bit to achieve it.
Many people are guessing, which Inner Sect senior brother or sister suddenly had an epiphany?
Well, no one thought of Lu Xun.
Because our young elder’s cultivation time is too short. Even if his talent in Sword Dao is high, he shouldn’t be able to produce a Sword Heart at the Qi Consumption Technique cultivation stage.
Even Sect Master Shen Yan is surprised. Because people with shallow cultivation, even if they understand the sword Qi in Lead Peak, won’t gain anything.
It’s like learning multiplication and division and then being thrown a textbook to self-study calculus. It would be strange if you could understand it!
But who made Lu Xun have a game template?
Others have extraordinary Sword Dao talents, then they understand it and produce a Sword Heart.
Lu Xun, on the other hand, was born with a Swordsmanship Aptitude of zero, needs to cheat to produce a Sword Heart, and uses the Sword Heart to forcibly raise his qualification.
Therefore, he appears especially unusual and leaves people puzzled no matter how much they think about it.
But there are too many things on the road to cultivation that people can’t understand.
Perhaps our young elder is really the once-in-a-thousand-year Natural Sword Embryo, who knows!
The only thing Sect Master Shen Yan and the Peak Masters need to think about right now is this:
Can anyone on One Sword Mountain cultivate a Sword Heart at such a low cultivation base?
NO!
Can anyone on Ten Thousand Sword Mountain cultivate a Sword Heart?
NO!
Then what are we waiting for?
Laughing time!
“Hahahahahaha!”
The hearty laughter spread from the high altitude. Sect Master Shen Yan and the Peak Masters all burst into laughter. With their intention, the laughter spread throughout the whole Demon Sect!
“Hahaha! Congratulations to our young elder on realizing the Sword Heart! ”
Such an extraordinary feat should be known to the whole sect. Let the disciples be proud and strive doubly hard!
The sound of Shen Yan’s chicken-like screams spread throughout the Demon Sect, causing everyone who heard it to shake in their spirits!
The celestial phenomenon just now happened because of our young elder?!
Lu Xun’s Reputation Value…begins to skyrocket again!
In the blink of an eye, it broke the grand barrier of 2000 points! The
Reputation Value Task was thus completed by a beautiful coincidence.
Already awake, Lu Xun looked at the completed task and smiled heartily.
He saw Shen Yan and the others laughing so happily. So he followed the rhythm and laughed along with them.
However, as Shen Yan and the others were laughing, they suddenly thought of something.
Our young elder, who condensed a Sword Heart after just one glance at the sword qi, seems to…
…not have a sword yet since joining the sect!
(Ps: The first place in the contract list got burst. Asking for your recommendation ticket support.. Let’s kill them!)
