Chapter 17: Have You Ever Heard of the Land Sword Immortal_1
Translator: 549690339
“Senior Brother Lu, as I recall, you possess a Sword Spirit Root?” Tao Yaoye cast a glance at the ancient sword hanging at Lu Yang’s waist, and the callouses in the tiger’s jaw formed by swinging his sword hard. The changes that occurred within the span of a short year serve as proof of the hardship of Lu Yang’s sword training.
Lu Yang nodded and modestly replied, “I can be barely considered a Sword Cultivator.”
Cultivators, depending on their specialties, can be divided into Pill Cultivators, Talisman Cultivators, Array Cultivators. Body Cultivators and Sword Cultivators among others. Among them, Sword Cultivators possess the strongest attacking power. No one wishes to face a Sword Cultivator in a battle of the same realm.
The most famous aspect of Sword Cultivators is their ability to break thousands of laws with one sword. Despite your profound Dao methods, I can break them with a single sword.
Opposite to Sword Cultivators are Dao Cultivators, who break your sword technique with thousands of methods, no matter how profound your sword technique is.
In addition to “one sword breaks thousands of laws”, sword techniques like “Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate” and “Flying Sword” are all famous techniques among Sword Cultivators.
Dressed in white attire like snow, stepping on a flying sword, surfing the wind and waves, how heroic is this posture?
What do Cultivators seek? Firstly, strength; secondly, attractiveness. Sword Cultivators seamlessly meet these standards, thus countless Cultivators aspire to become Sword Cultivators. Unfortunately, they lack the natural talent for the Sword Dao, and are thus unable to become Sword Cultivators.
“So, Senior Brother Lu, what will you do after you learn to fly with a sword?” Gét latest 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters on n𝒐v(e)lbj/n(.)c/𝒐m
Tao Yaoye never heard of a Sword Cultivator suffering from fear of heights before.
Others cultivate to freely traverse through the sky and the earth. However, Senior Brother Lu probably cultivates to roam freely through the earth instead.
Lu Yang replied earnestly, “It is not necessary for a Sword Immortal to solely fly in the sky, Tao Yaoye junior sister, have you ever heard of a Land Sword Immortal?”
Tao Yaoye was slightly taken aback. Amidst Lu Yang’s seriousness, the term “Land Sword Immortal” sounded familiar so she nodded smoothly.
“Who says all Immortals should be high up in the heavens? The term “Immortal”, after all, has the character ‘人’ (human) in it. Immortals exist between the sky and the earth, they can reach for the stars and moon in the sky, and enter the nine abysses of the earth, all with utmost freedom.”
“The term “Land Sword Immortal” signifies that Sword Immortals can not only exist in the sky, but can also walk on the ground. With a single sword throw, they can decapitate demons and monsters from a thousand miles away!”
“My goal is to become a Sword Immortal like that!”
Just as Tao Yaoye was about to nod along with the atmosphere, her habitual calm made her realize something was wrong, “Wait a minute, I have only ever heard of the Land Immortal. Where did this term, Land Sword Immortal, come from?”
Lu Yang silently stared at Tao Yaoye for three seconds, as if brewing an ancient secret in his chest, and then gently said.
“I made it up.”
“…”
His sincere attitude left Tao Yaoye speechless.
Tao Yaoye did not delve further into the topic. After spending three short days together, her impression of Senior Brother Lu had completely changed.
At the first stage, she witnessed Lu Yang detect his Sword Spirit Root. At that time, Lu Yang appeared in her mind as a righteous and unyielding sword, silent yet indomitable.
After the end of the second stage, she heard Lu Yang describe his unique approach to passing the stage. She thought that a Sword Cultivator, with such flexible thinking, might have greater achievements in the future.
At the third stage, when she was almost too exhausted to keep her eyes open on Wenxin Mountain, believing that no one could possibly climb the fifty steps required, she saw Lu Yang successfully reach the fiftieth step and pass the stage. Lu Yang’s success gave her the strength and determination to continue up the mountain and pass the stage successfully.
A year later, she met Senior Brother Lu, who had acrophobia and was particularly talkative.
She realized, what ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ means.
“Looking at the time, it should be time to disembark,” said Lu Yang.
Lu Yang spread out a large map, upon which the Seek Dao Sect, the Great Xia Dynasty’s Imperial City, famous mountains and rivers, important cities, and Cave Heavens and Earthly Blessings are all marked in detail.
This was a map of one-eighth of the Central Continent.
On the map, there was a small red dot that moved slowly. If you were not paying attention, you would think the red dot was stationary.
The small red dot marked the current location of the two.
This was no ordinary map, but a magic artifact necessary for travelling.
Although the map was intricate, Taiping Village was too small to be marked on the map. The map could hardly make out even Quhe County.
The flying ship from the Seek Dao Sect to the Imperial City of the Great Xia Dynasty traversed countless miles. Not to mention Taiping Village, even Quhe County was a miniscule spot at such a distance. The map could hardly hold its name.
The flying ship would not stop at a small place like Quhe County. If it stopped everywhere, the speed of the ship would be greatly reduced, and its efficiency would not be much better than that of a carriage.
This flying ship only stopped at a few large transport hubs such as the Seek Dao Sect, Qingyun City, Tongtian Valley, Fulong Mountain, and the Imperial City.
Lu Yang had heard from Eldest Senior Sister that if you wanted to disembark the flying ship, you just had to jump off.
The corner of Lu Yang’s eye twitched at the thought of it.
The flying ship was similar to the airplanes of his previous life, fast and efficient. The biggest difference was in his previous life passengers had to wait patiently for the plane to land before disembarking. In the Cultivation world, passengers could jump off whenever they wanted.
They emphasized freedom and openness.
This was Lu Yang’s first time disembarking from a ship, and he was very excited.
This was evident by the shivering of his legs.
This was from a height of ten thousand meters.
“Senior Brother Lu, do you know how to disembark?” Tao Yaoye asked.
“Of course,” Lu Yang replied confidently, looking somewhat proud.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, if he were to simply fall straight down without any skill, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would impact to a pulp.
Lu Yang had asked Eldest Senior Sister how to disembark, but she did not answer directly. She only said not to refer to books or ask others but to think independently and develop good habits of independent thinking.
So Lu Yang successfully figured out how to disembark and prepare for it.
Not just Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye were preparing to disembark, but also seven or eight strangers.
Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye and the seven or eight strangers stood on the edge of the ship’s deck, lining up.
The seven or eight strangers took out standard paper umbrellas.
Tao Yaoye took out her carefully refined red paper umbrella.
Lu Yang took out a parachute.
“Huh?”
Lu Yang felt he didn’t seem to fit in with the group. Why were their belongings different from his?
Just as Lu Yang was wondering what they were going to use the umbrellas for, a middle-aged man in black, holding an umbrella, jumped off the ship.
The man in black fell like a shell, his speed increasing rapidly.
He calmly infused Spiritual Energy into the paper umbrella. The lightweight Spiritual Energy was like a thread, like a nimble green snake, entwining itself around the umbrella frame from the umbrella handle.
The paper umbrella seemed to come to life, awakening from its winter sleep, and unfurling itself. The man in black’s speed gradually slowed, and he landed safely with a slight sway.
The man in black let go of the umbrella, and the paper umbrella closed, turning into a stream of light. It shuttled through the sea of clouds and returned to the flying ship.
The paper umbrella was not the property of the man in black but temporarily lent to the passengers by the flying ship.
The seven or eight strangers and Tao Yaoye all turned their heads to look at Lu Yang simultaneously, even Tao Yaoye looked puzzled.
They held umbrellas in their hands in preparation for jumping ship, but Lu Yang was carrying a bag. What were they supposed to do?
Lu Yang maintained a calm and unflustered demeanor on the surface, his radiant smile giving no cause for confusion, as if he were not the one who didn’t fit in.
Internally, however, he was in turmoil, full of complaints, and didn’t know where to begin.
All the complaints could be summed up in one sentence—Eldest Senior Sister, you deceived me!
