Chapter 1826 Ascending Sword Mountain
It was not cold.
Although Fang Qiu was standing at the foot of the mountain, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing in his face as if he were standing in the icy sky or a snow cellar, enduring the biting cold wind like a blade.
This was the sword Qi on Sword Mountain.
“What strong sword Qi.”
Even Fang Qiu couldn’t help exclaiming as he looked at the huge Sword Mountain. “If Sword Fanatic is here, I’m afraid he won’t be willing to leave the mountain for the rest of his life.”
Standing aside, Wei Jian looked at Fang Qiu with a smile.
For the people of the Sword Sect, swords were alive and were their companions.
Therefore, everyone had different feelings when they came to Sword Mountain.
The mountain Wei Jian saw was peaceful. Although the huge mountain gave him a sense of oppression, it was only a spiritual sense. As long as he entered the mountain, the oppression he felt would naturally disappear.
He could indeed feel some sword Qi, but it was completely different from what Fang Qiu felt.
Everyone saw and felt Sword Mountain differently. If everyone felt it the same way Fang Qiu did, then the mountain would probably be too difficult for most people to pass.
“They are all good swords.”
Glancing at the hilts inserted in the stone wall of the Sword Mountain, Fang Qiu nodded in admiration.
Although the quality of these swords varied, each one of them was much better than the Guru Sword he had forged back then. Even the weakest and worst one was not something that modern swords could compare with.
“We can climb Sword Mountain now.”
Wei Jian reminded him.
“Okay.”
Fang Qiu beamed and nodded.
Having stood at the foot of Sword Mountain for some time, he had a clear view of the terrain of the entire mountain.
Although the mountain was called Sword Mountain, it did not look like a sword.
The mountain was tall and straight.
The blue stone path had ended where Fang Qiu was standing.
In front of Fang Qiu were mountain rocks, where he could hardly find a place to step.
Looking from bottom to top, the Sword Mountain seemed to soar into the sky.
Fang Qiu asked, “Can I fly?”
“Of course. However, I have seen those who have climbed Sword Mountain before. I have never seen anyone who can fly up the mountain.”
Wei Jian shook his head and said with a smile, “Sword is the emperor among weapons. Each sword has its own pride. The Sword Mountain is equivalent to the home of these swords. In Sword Mountain, every sword is a king. You’ll be treated like a passer-by if you climb over the mountain. But I don’t know how they will react if you fly over.”
“I’ll try it, and we’ll know.”
Fang Qiu answered with a smile and then stretched out his right foot. At the end of the blue stone path, he gently stood on a piece of black rock covered with a lot of dark green moss. He immediately flew up, rushed out ten meters in an instant, and came to five meters above the foot of the Sword Mountain.
Buzz!
As expected, as soon as Fang Qiu moved, the long swords inserted into the mountain wall five meters below began to vibrate rapidly in unison.
While vibrating crazily, the hilts of the swords kept moving outward little by little, and the blades were slightly revealed.
It seemed that the swords were very dissatisfied with Fang Qiu.
When Wei Jian saw this scene at the foot of the mountain, his expression changed, and a trace of bewilderment appeared on his face.
If it were any other disciple of the Sword Sect, these long swords wouldn’t even move. Those who disrespected them would be directly driven down by the sword Qi on the mountain.
However, it seemed that Fang Qiu was not affected at all.
“What’s happening?
“Could it be that he’s able to ascend the mountain?”
As Wei Jian looked at Fang Qiu, a bold idea came to his mind.
He had never seen anyone who could reach the top of Sword Mountain.
According to the seniors in the Sword Sect, the higher one went up Sword Mountain, the stronger the Sword Intent and sword Qi would be. Ordinary people would be blocked by the Sword Intent and sword Qi easily. They wouldn’t even have the chance to take another step forward.
Even Wei Jian, when he climbed up Sword Mountain, only reached a hundred meters up the mountain to get the long sword he now possessed, and then he couldn’t go higher.
However, the entire Sword Mountain was three thousand meters high above sea level.
This showed that it was utterly difficult to reach the top of Sword Mountain.
Five meters up from the foot of the mountain.
“Interesting.”
Fang Qiu stood on a big black stone without a long sword. He glanced at the densely packed hilts that were vibrating violently below and immediately laughed.
“I don’t mean to be disrespectful.”
Fang Qiu had always been a person who admired the sages, so he said to the densely packed long swords that were trembling below with his hold fist salute. Then, he turned back, looked at the Sword Mountain that was 3,000 meters high above sea level, and said, “Let’s only focus on the swords!”
After that, he moved his toes.
Swoosh!
There was a sharp sound of something breaking through the air.
In an instant, Fang Qiu shot up to the sky.
As he moved, a layer of Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered from all directions, lingered around him, and instantly condensed into a sword-shaped layer of energy, completely enveloping him.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The trembling of the long swords became louder.
Wherever Fang Qiu passed, all the long swords inserted into the mountain began to shake wildly, and many swords were pulled out of the mountain at the same time.
For a time, cold lights rose from the originally pitch-black Sword Mountain.
Wherever Fang Qiu passed, the sword light lit up one after another.
Above the entire mountain, streaks of extremely sharp Sword Intent burst out and rushed toward Fang Qiu from all directions. These streaks of Sword Intent seemed to be tangible.
It could be clearly seen that it was the Sword Intent gathered from the energy of each long sword that had been crossed by Fang Qiu and was shaking wildly.
“What’s going on?”
When Wei Jian saw this, he was shocked.
He didn’t expect that he could see the Sword Intent materializing.
Fang Qiu rushed to a height of 100 meters in an instant, still looking calm.
It was just as Wei Jian had expected.
As Fang Qiu moved up, he clearly felt the enhancement of the Sword Intent.
The violent Sword Intent coming from below directly formed an invisible energy, which rushed to the front of Fang Qiu and tried to suppress him.
However, it merely reached a height of a hundred meters.
The sword Qi that burst out from all the long swords within a hundred meters below was too weak for Fang Qiu. He couldn’t even feel any resistance.
Swoosh!
After reaching a hundred meters in an instant, Fang Qiu continued to rush up at a faster speed.
“Well, um…”
Wei Jian’s eyes widened when he saw this. He said in disbelief, “You broke my record just like that?”
But before he could finish his words, Fang Qiu had already rushed to a height of 500 meters.
At this moment, the pressure Fang Qiu felt obviously increased a lot.
All the Sword Intent bursting out from the long swords within 500 meters below gathered together, finally making him feel some resistance. However, this resistance alone could not stop him.
He continued to rush forward.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Qiu rushed to a height of a thousand meters.
By then, the Sword Intent that surged out of each long sword and converged into a stream was twice as strong as before.
It was still too weak for Fang Qiu.
When Fang Qiu rushed to a height of 1,500 meters, the strength of the Sword Intent had grown to that of a guru, and it even seemed to surpass the guru level, but Fang Qiu still didn’t slow down.
Below him, when Wei Jian saw Fang Qiu rush all the way to 2,000 meters high like fireworks, his face was full of shock.
“He definitely won’t be able to make it to the last thousand meters!”
Wei Jian clearly remembered that according to the records of the Sword Sect, the area within 1,000 meters of the top of Sword Mountain was very strange. While all the long swords below that area would burst out the Sword Intent to stop the intruders, the long swords above that area were inviolable.
They would not allow anyone to climb over them, much less fly over them.
Fang Qiu easily broke through the height of 2,000 meters.
However, after breaking through 2,000 meters, Fang Qiu obviously paused.
Along the way, Fang Qiu could clearly feel that all the Sword Intent that tried to stop him had gathered from below. But when he reached the height of 2,000 meters, he clearly felt that although all the long swords within a kilometer of the top of the mountain were not shaking, the moment he reached that height, they directly burst out a streak of extremely huge sword Qi, aiming at him.
It was the appearance of this sword Qi that made Fang Qiu pause.
This sword Qi not only stopped Fang Qiu from advancing but also gave him a stunned feeling.
He instantly fell into the sword Qi.
Fang Qiu only felt that if he were a monster, he would definitely be crushed into ashes by this sword Qi in an instant.
While feeling shocked, Fang Qiu clearly felt that the sword Qi was cleansing his mind, just like the tremendous pressure he felt when he faced the towering stone tablet in the Laozi Relic. As that pressure overwhelmed and exploited him, it was also tempering him little by little. The only difference was that his body had tempered by then, and now his mind was being tempered.
Under such a situation, Fang Qiu still didn’t slow down and continued to rush toward the top of Sword Mountain.
In the confrontation with the sword Qi that burst out from above and the Sword Intent that rushed up from below, Fang Qiu still didn’t stop to advance.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
When Fang Qiu rushed to a height of 2,500 meters, all the long swords on the whole mountain began to vibrate.
Even the long swords on the top of Sword Mountain were shaking wildly.
This shocked Wei Jian at the foot of the mountain.
On the other side, many disciples of the Sword Sect who were seeking swords on Sword Mountain were frightened by this inexplicable situation.
In a short period, Fang Qiu directly rushed to the height of 2,600 meters. Under the impact of the huge sword Qi, the terrifying speed of Fang Qiu was finally limited.
However, Fang Qiu didn’t stop there.
“Break!”
With his body as a sword, he directly tore through the Sword Intent all over the sky and rushed out.
Just then-
Whiz!
An earth-shattering sword cry rang out in all directions.
All the long swords inserted into Sword Mountain were unsheathed at the same time. With a harsh sword cry, they rushed to the sky and pointed at Fang Qiu together.
