Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years

Chapter 36: Mist Ocean, Skeleton!

How was this possible?!

For Mo Qingchen, the scene was extremely shocking!

Since he was little, he had always aspired to become a wispy Sword Saint with a profound Cultivation Base, living in the clouds thousands of feet above, traveling around on his Riding Sword, wielding a Styling Sword in hand, and delivering justice with an Assaulting Sword.

This was also one of the reasons why he had joined Zhang Sanjian’s Empyrean Sword Sect without even the slightest of hesitation back then.

This was what he yearned for, his ultimate dream, and the person he most wanted to become. After he joined the Empyrean Sword Sect and met his eldest senior brother Shen Changge, he vowed that he must never become like him, doing nothing all day long, bumming around, and most importantly, not being crafty and cunning like how Changge was when he always c*cked him!

But at that very moment.

The person that he imagined he would be and the person that he least wanted to be gradually overlapped!

That was Senior Brother Changge!

Wearing white clothes and wielding a sword while standing with hands behind his back on the Empyrean Peak, he had a pair of eyes as chilling as an icy pool and a face as handsome as an exquisite jewel carved by nature itself. His robe was fluttering and his Sword Qi was surging like a Sword Saint whose blade could strike the gates of heaven open!

“This is impossible!”

Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Sword Section, phase five, Five Yin Elements!

And most importantly, the three swords behind Shen Changge’s back and the technique he had used seemingly belonged to the Sol Sword Sect. Suddenly, he remembered the Falling Sun technique unleashed behind that demon tree that had been used to snipe the Liberation stage demon!

Was that Senior Brother Changge?

“I misunderstood Senior Brother Changge...” Mo Qingchen muttered to himself, feeling his view of the world being shattered by Shen Changge’s suave and handsome facial features.

His senior brother was actually the existence with the most terrifying aptitude within the Empyrean Sword Sect. He had been cultivating in secret, tolerating hardships, sitting out on worldly fame and fortune, and enduring the judging looks cast upon him. All of a sudden, he thought of the words the great master Zhang Sanjian had said when he was tutoring him in the past. Should one wish to practice in the sword, one must first practice their hearts. When your heart becomes big enough, your sword will become more powerful as the blade itself is driven by the heart...

His senior brother was able to bear the name of a good-for-nothing despite his unparalleled talent. How terrifyingly immense must his heart be to have accomplished this? Indifferent to fame and fortune, wandering about behind the scenes, and sheltering his masters and juniors. He recalled the many occasions that involved demons that happened within the sect recently. Under normal circumstances, the Empyrean Sword Sect would never have gotten through those events safely. After all, the power that remained in the Empyrean Sword Sect was too little. However, they cruised through all of them safe and sound...

There was no such thing as time being still and life being stable. His senior brother was the one who was carrying the burden!

Others had said that he, Mo Qingchen, valued fellowship the most. However, he suddenly felt that his senior brother was the one who truly valued fellowship.

When a person suddenly made you change your view about them, the shortcomings the person once had would translate into the same exact amount of good in your eyes!

Senior Brother Changge, my forever idol.

Pss.

Suddenly, a voice of disdain resounded between heaven and earth.

Mo Qingchen rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Shen Changge, who was on the Empyrean Peak, vanished!

???

What kind of terrifying Move Technique was that?

Everything changed in the blink of an eye. That place had originally been shrouded in a faint dark mist, but Shen Changge’s abrupt disappearance caused the dark mist to blow up into smoke clouds of various shapes and sizes.

At that moment, Ji Ling suddenly regained a portion of his consciousness due to the intense pain.

The skeleton possessed him just then.

However, he was still able to feel some of the things that were happening outside. At that moment, horror emerged in his eyes. Who was that? One must know that he had broken into Late-stage Liberation, and because of the skeleton, even regular peak Liberation stages would be no match for him!

However, someone was actually able to cut off his arm with such ease!

At that moment, the Swordlight surging in the surrounding void was woven together with dark and chilling electricity that would send shivers down anyone’s spine.

“Run... run... run...”

All of a sudden, the skeleton in his hand jumped around wildly. It was shuddering, seemingly afraid. It was afraid about something horrifying that was closing in!

The next moment!

Whoosh!

The dark mist in the area suddenly dispersed.

In the distance, a figure abruptly appeared. The person took a step forward and his figure suddenly morphed into countless shadows, gorgeous and charming in all hundreds and thousands of forms. In just a split second, that figure appeared before Ji Ling and stared at him with cold eyes.

“Senior... Brother...”

Ji Ling’s eyes opened wide. At that moment, his Adam’s apple was squirming up and down as if he had seen something unbelievable!

It was Senior Brother Changge!

How was this possible!

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his entire body. All of a sudden, he remembered that back then, when he was about to sacrifice his senior brother to the skeleton, the skeleton had straight-up cracked. Yes, he only remembered it at that moment. One must know that for the skeleton to allow him to swiftly ascend to Late-stage Liberation, how strange must the skeleton itself be? And if his senior brother had no horrifying capabilities, how would the skeleton crack almost instantly?

But Senior Brother Changge...

As if remembering his senior brother, who was treated like a good-for-nothing, he just could not believe that with a mere step, his senior brother would be able to split himself into hundreds of thousands of images. That would put him in a class with those elusive great powerhouses!

At the next moment!

Bzzz!

The surrounding Sword Qi condensed. Although there were no blades there, it still felt as if countless Divine Swords were standing upright and surrounding him!

At that time, Shen Changge was standing before him.

Lin Qingxian opened her tiny mouth as she looked at the tall figure in shiny white clothes from behind. Unknowingly, all the swords behind his back were already unsheathed. The three swords hovered in the air simultaneously. The area was seemingly submerged under an ocean of imposing energy given off by Shen Changge!

She had seen the great master’s imposingness. However, when that was compared to Shen Changge’s, it completely paled in comparison!

The master had once said that the greater one’s aptitude, the deeper their understanding of the sword manuals, and the more tremendous and powerful their demeanor would become.

She had imagined such a scene more than once; a peerless ace, carrying three swords on his back and coming from a thousand miles away to stand in front of her.

...

At that moment, her dream had come true!

Even the person’s face was exactly the same as in her dream!

“Senior Brother...”

Ji Ling’s voice was shaking. At present, half of his face was pale...

Shen Changge did not look at him. Perhaps from the very beginning, this guy was not even worthy of Shen Changge laying his eyes on him. On top of Ji Ling’s head, a tiny skeleton suddenly moved.

“Pre... preposterous... I am... the Sacred... Dynasty’s... first master... you despicable... s-scum of the... Mist Ocean...” the skeleton said haltingly.

Spllurgh!

A streak of vivid Swordlight abruptly blasted the tiny skull away.

“I have no patience. Be quick with your speech.”

Ji Ling, “???”

The skeleton jumped around in the air as if it was angry. It trembled wildly and churred, “You... you... you... puny... scum... lowly... fodder... how dare you... treat me like this!”

...

Seeing that the skeleton could seemingly speak more smoothly when it was angry, Shen Changge smacked the tiny skeleton into the ground with his sword.

“Preposterous! How dare you treat me like this! Aren’t you afraid that the Sacred Dynasty will hunt you down? Puny scum! Despicable fodder... all of you will become fodder on the day when the Mist Ocean shrinks...” the skeleton said.

“Interesting. So, you refer to the dark mist as the Mist Ocean. Fodder, huh...? Is this so-called Mist Ocean not the work of nature?” Shen Changge asked.

“Preposterous, you... are... just... ah! You’re just a pathetic worm born of the Mist Ocean at the lower realm by accident! You are unworthy of becoming fodder...” the skeleton replied.

Shen Changge gained a rough understanding of the situation.

“What’s with the Sacred Dynasty?” he asked.

“The Sacred Dynasty is supreme.”

“I’m asking you what is a Sacred Dynasty?” Shen Changge asked again.

“The Sacred Dynasty is supreme.”

“Do you believe that I’ll kill you?”

“You cannot find my main body. You cannot kill me,” the skeleton answered.

“Rebirth.”

Shen Changge’s eyes flickered. Channeling the Rebirth technique into one of his swords, he thrust it at the skeleton. The skeleton was extremely horrified. In an instant, a layer of dark mist was shaken out. Whoosh. The dark mist amassed into a majestic figure in the air. This figure was as scrawny as a skeleton. It was pretty scary to look at.

The figure glanced at Shen Changge’s handsome face and abruptly fell silent. Subsequently, his face became so awful that it seemed twisted.

“Cursed insect! You deserve d*mnation more than all the other insects!” it said.
