This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 392: Wandering in the north for half a lifetime

Views:

Qin Fangtian.

A cultivator of the Tianjian Sect who is in the tribulation period, he has experienced three thunder tribulations. He sits in the sword pool all year round and enjoys forging swords. He is also called the Sword-Forging Old Man.

The biggest dream in life is to forge the tenth Nine Swords.

However, reality did not give him face. His hobby was sword-making, but he had no talent for it. The iron swords forged by him were of far inferior quality to the elders' swords forged by several of the Nine Sword Elders.

It’s a waste of the realm of Tribulation Crossing.

But these are not the key points. The Tribulation Crossing Stage is the Tribulation Crossing Stage. We cannot ignore his realm just because he is new and likes to play.

Lian Lin and Wang Yan were facing a formidable enemy, and protected Lu Bei from behind, one on each side. Lu Bei reached out and pulled the dazed Zhan Hongqu behind him.

"There is nothing for you to do here. Go back and guard the mountain gate. If the Huangji Sect comes to attack us in the future, just admit defeat. Prioritize saving the lives of the disciples in the mountain gate."

Qin Fangtian snapped his fingers, ripples appeared in space, and engulfed Duan Tianci's body.

At the same time, the huge Wolf Head Mountain was hidden in the heart of space, its peaks and ridges were no longer visible, and it disappeared between heaven and earth.

After seeing Duan Tianci off, Qin Fangtian first glanced at the guardians on his left and right, then smiled and said to Lian Lin, "Although you have escaped from the cage, you are still a disciple of the Tianjian Sect. Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"

Lian Lin's face darkened, he put his iron sword on his back, bowed and was about to salute.

"If he tells you to worship, you worship. If he tells you to die, do you also want to die?"

Lu Bei snorted coldly, and the sound of thunder exploded in his ears, causing Lian Lin to stop moving. He straightened his body stiffly and held the iron sword in his hand again.

Yes, the sect leader is still behind him, so even if he wants to bow, Qin Fangtian should do it first.

"Young man, are you Lu Bei?"

Qin Fangtian looked at Lu Bei intently, his eyes flashed white, and the sword spirit pushed away the sword force, pressing down on the four directions of heaven and earth, leaving no place for him to hide.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, dust dragons ran on the earth, and the twisting hurricane was hysterical, rumbling into the distance.

The pressure on Lian Lin and Wang Yan increased dramatically, as if a mountain was pressing down on them. They were instantly sweating profusely, and their straight bodies sank involuntarily. They had no choice but to expose Lu Bei to the other side.

The pressure is great, but Lu Bei feels...

It's not that it's unacceptable. Perhaps it's because of the immortal sword intent, or perhaps it's because of other reasons. It feels like the aura Qin Fangtian exudes is only at the peak of the great perfection of the fusion period, accurately stuck in the bottleneck, and has not reached the mysterious tribulation period.

Lu Bei had some general understanding of the specific reasons.

When Bei Junshan saw two people in the Tribulation Crossing period fighting in the air, he immediately used the authority of the Purple Guard to retrieve the archival information about the Tribulation Crossing period from the Xuanyin Division.

There wasn't one originally.

A cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage is like a nuclear weapon in any country. Not to mention his name, even his realm, magical powers and other information are strictly confidential, and the Purple Guards' authority is simply unable to find out.

But Lu Bei found out.

He checked the files on the first day but found nothing. On the second day, the files were delivered to his door and he was given some basic knowledge about what the Tribulation Period was.

There are a lot of graphics and texts, which are extremely exaggerated and have a sense of self-boasting.

Therefore, it is clear at a glance who compiled the archives.

Lu Bei knew what was going on, but he pretended not to have guessed it. He read the files again and again and got an important piece of information.

During the Tribulation Period, a cultivator will experience a total of five thunder tribulations. However, when we say thunder tribulation, it does not necessarily mean lightning or thunder. Thunder tribulation is just a general term.

Let’s cut to the chase, these are not the main points. The key information is that cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage can walk in the human world and do not have to hide in secret realms all the time to avoid being struck by lightning.

As long as the power they mobilized was limited to the peak of the Fusion Stage and did not touch the bottom line of the Tribulation Stage, the Thunder Tribulation would turn a blind eye and give them the opportunity to go out and get some fresh air.

During this period, cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage can look for opportunities to ensure that they can safely survive the next thunder tribulation.

To control the power of the Fusion Stage with the realm of the Tribulation Stage, the strength displayed is definitely not as simple as the great perfection of the Fusion Stage. For example, the Grand Elder Zhu Xiuzhu of the Huangji Sect is at the great perfection of the Fusion Stage. When facing Qin Fangtian who is only using the level of the Fusion Stage, he will be beaten to ashes in just a few rounds.

Lu Bei was not panicked at all. If it was a cultivator from the Huangji Sect who was in the Tribulation Period who was in front of him, he would raise his hands in surrender at the speed of light, offer a huge amount of gold, and recite touching filial piety words such as "Wandering in the North for Half a Life" with great emotion.

But Qin Fangtian was born in the Tianjian Sect, and without being struck by lightning, he only used the level of the Fusion Stage...

Haha, you really dare to leave the sword pool!

Even if we take a step back and say that he has someone above him who dares to admit that he has the Immortal Sword Intention before the fall of Tianjian Peak, he has never worried about the Tianjian Sect's Tribulation Crossing Stage coming to him.

"Young man, are you Lu Bei?"

Qin Fangtian asked again, and a sonic boom rippled, and an unprecedented terrifying dust storm was set off between the vast mountains.

"If young people are not young, can they still be called young people?"

Lu Bei answered the question irrelevantly, ignoring the crazy sword force pressing down on him, and said foully: "Since you have come to me, why bother to pretend? You are asking questions that you know the answer to, which will only make people think you are an old fool."

Qin Fangtian: (⊙灬⊙)

The style of the painting was not right. It was a far cry from the Qili Sutra that was full of style. He kept shaking his head. The Immortal Sword Intent should not be like this. There must be something wrong.

Qin Fangtian came to find Lu Bei for no other purpose but to verify whether the Immortal Sword Intent was true or false.

Under normal circumstances, when Qin Fangtian heard that someone had acquired the nine sword powers in less than a year and successfully integrated them into the Immortal Sword Power, he would just treat it as a joke.

Stop bragging, even dogs won’t believe you.

However, the unusual movements at Tianjian Peak and the abnormalities of the nine swords forced him to believe it even if he didn't want to. Regardless of the expressions of the other two Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators, he left the Sword Pond and went straight to find Lu Bei to find out what was going on.

Before this trip, he also asked his apprentice Zhan Lexian what it felt like to fight against the Immortal Sword Intent.

Life is worse than death!

Zhan Lexian replied succinctly. The grief and indignation of being controlled and played around with by others made him want to die.

Qin Fangtian thought it was interesting and wanted to try what it meant to live a life worse than death.

After the Tianjian Sect abandoned its teachings, it has been passed down for thousands of years. One generation of disciples has long since returned to dust. Qin Fangtian, as a latecomer, has only heard of the legend of the immortal sword intent and is extremely yearning for it.

He took a deep breath and waved his hand to throw the sword box high into the air.

In an instant, the sky and the earth spun, with the earth above and the sky below, and an independent mirror world was instantly formed.

Out of respect for the immortal sword intent, Qin Fangtian did not act rashly. He reached out his hand into the void and took out a huge black sword.

Nine Swords: Great Power.

This sword was inherited by Qin Fangtian who killed Lexian. As the second generation master, he has a very close relationship with Daweitian. Wherever his mind goes, the end of the world is within reach.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The sword energy spanned from the vast earth above to the endless sea of clouds below. The black sky opened up with thundercloud storms, and the doomsday frenzy swept across half the sky.

"Qin has been learning sword since he was young, and it has been eight hundred years now. He has mastered seven sword principles besides asking about love and forgetting love. Now, I will use the Great Mighty Heaven as a carrier to ask you for some advice."

The sound was loud and clear, and the wind and clouds pulled the energy dragons into dancing.

"Sword!"

Lu Bei waved his hand to push away the three lackeys, stretched out his hand, and showed the Great Power Heaven, saying calmly: "Lu has been practicing for a year. I comprehended the first Changchong sword intent in December last year, and the last Wenqing sword intent in April this year. On that day, I merged the nine sword intents into immortality, which took five months of hard work. The hardships are not worth telling to outsiders. Now I will use the Great Power Heaven as a carrier to show you what the sword intent is. If I am not good enough, please forgive me."

"…" x4

What is the hardship involved? Five months of hardship, can that be called hardship

The three people who were trying to kill Hongqu were simply unable to do it. Qin Fangtian's eyelids were twitching, and he was attacked in the face. He felt that Lu Bei was mocking him for his poor aptitude in swordsmanship and that he had learned nothing from a dog after 800 years of hard work.

No more talking, let’s just have a sword fight!

The sword spirit flickers.

Qin Fangtian raised his hand and used a mad dragon. The boundless black curtain rose against the trend. The cold air flow cut through the void, and in an instant, the mirror space was divided into two.

The golden light escaped.

Lu Bei flashed in front of Qin Fangtian, and slashed down with Dashitian. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and slowly hooked towards Daweitian.

Qin Fangtian was about to raise his sword to block, but suddenly, the Great Power Heaven was out of control, and the hilt of the sword burst into black light. If he had not listened to Zhan Lexian's advice before and had been prepared, he would have almost let the Great Power Heaven slip away from his hand.

But even so, Daweitian, who had known him for many years, was still ruthless and unruly. He burst out with black sword light, blowing his sword-holding hand into a bloody mess.

Swish!

The black sword tip passed by his nose, and Qin Fang narrowly avoided the sharp edge of the sword. He retreated a thousand meters, his eyes full of horror.

Who am I, where am I, and what just happened

"Senior, is your sword broken?" Lu Bei raised the corner of his mouth and stood with the sword in one hand.

On the opposite side, Daweitian struggled violently, but was trapped by Qin Fangtian's high realm, and ultimately could not give up the dark and join the light.

For a moment, the sword wailed sadly, and the sound was sobbing and blood-soaked, which made Qin Fangtian feel quite complicated.

It feels really bad and terrible.

Life is worse than death!

He admitted that Zhan Lexian was right. This feeling was absolutely true for a sword cultivator.

"Come again."

Qin Fangtian shouted loudly, twisting the void with his sword, and the two men passed each other. The sword roared like a dragon, and the sky and the earth were filled with infinite black light.

Boom—

But in the upside-down mirror world, countless sandstorms connected the sky and the earth, stretching for countless miles. Only below, inky black clouds were rolling, and countless manic lightning snakes were running around.

Under the collision of the dark curtain that destroyed the world, two figures clashed rapidly. One's sword moves and sword principles were impeccable, while the other's sword dance was as fast as the wind, with golden light and thunder on his body, so fast that it was impossible to capture it with divine consciousness.

One white and one gold, two figures stepped on the boundless lightning snake net and collided repeatedly, circles of ripples whistled and spread, air waves rushed, and like a tsunami, they continued to spread outwards with the two as the center.

clang!!!

When the swords collided, the golden light suddenly surged, forcing the white light to retreat.

Lu Bei stood there holding a sword, his brows furrowed, thinking to himself that the situation was thorny.

As expected of an old monster in the Tribulation Crossing Period, his life span of eight hundred years is comparable to that of the Wu Zhou Kingdom. His realm is unimaginably high. He can actually ignore the suppression of the superior with Immortal Sword Intent, and fight him head-on with just seven mediocre sword intents until now.

Qin Fangtian: …

It's actually true, Kenshin...

Surrendered?!
