When Jin Buhui's words landed, as expected, a light sigh spread out from another cave.
"You fellow, as expected no one can take advantage of you, Jin Buhui."
Just as the voice reached this point, a figure suddenly walked into the hall and said indifferently, "I've long heard that Lingyun Sect's Brother Long is an apologetic and self-disciplined person. He is a kind and cautious person. But today seeing you, I am really disappointed. I originally didn't want to bother about this matter, but since my junior brother has already spoken, then I can't just stand by and watch. I wonder if Brother Long can give Chen Huai some face and not bully juniors, alright? "
Long Ruo's face instantly turned green and white. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Han Nishui who opened his mouth coldly, "Brother Shen, Brother Su, the 2 of you are stepping out for this Zong Shou. Do you know what kind of person this Gantian Mountain monster king is? "
Su Chen scoffed when he heard that, not willing to speak with these few people. Chen Huai laughed coldly, "I don't care what kind of person he is, but since my junior brother has such high hopes for him and even wants to borrow my strength. It seems like his highness's personality isn't bad. Also, don't call me brother in the future. You, Han Nishui, aren't worthy … "
Han Nishui's teeth were instantly gritted so hard that they made cracking sounds. As for Long Ruo, his eyes were dark and gloomy.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he left without saying a word and walked into another cave. Li Yuandan and Han Nishui also knew that they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in front of the 3 of them. They could only helplessly stare viciously at Zong Shou before following Long Ruo.
Zu Renkuang's brows furrowed tightly. He totally didn't expect that such a change would occur today.
His Senior Brother Long's reaction just now was also abnormal and a little over the top.
However, at this moment, it wasn't convenient for him to speak to Zong Shou. The face of Lingyun Sect also needed to be protected. He could only laugh bitterly before flicking his sleeves and leaving.
The remaining 3 people didn't say anything. They all smiled at Zong Shou and then dispersed. At most, He Xueying said, "Be careful." Su Chen also said, "Let's talk later."
Zong Shouxin was grateful, but he didn't show it on his face. He just nodded slightly.
Once the three of them left, he patted Jin Buhui's shoulder. The latter immediately smiled. "This is what I owe you. Remember, I still have a life that I haven't returned to you."
Zong Shou couldn't help but chuckle. With the token that allowed him to travel through space at will, it wouldn't be easy to repay the life he owed him.
Then, he didn't say anything else and continued to stare intently at the screen wall. Just treat it as if Jin Buhui and the other two couldn't find anything weird. Just as he was getting tired of it. Zong Shou also retracted his gaze. He was more or less familiar with the Outline of the 99 Long Ying Sword.
Next, he would look at the remaining eight sword techniques of the Long Ying Sword Technique.
In the 2nd sword stone room, he looked at the platinum dragon sword that he had already grasped a portion of. Who knows if it was because he was already familiar with it or because he had grasped the Outline of the Sword Technique, but in just 5 hours, the images on the wall were repeated 3 times before he comprehended them all.
What was surprising was that Zong Shou's soul, after this day, after experiencing the suppression of the martial saint intent on the stone wall, it actually grew by a lot.
Following which, Zong Shou's comprehension speed of the images on the stone wall became faster and faster. The 3rd stone room was the mysterious yin dragon sword. Zong Shou only spent 4 hours to roughly memorize it.
When it came to the 4th room, the mysterious cold hornless dragon sword, it only took 3 hours to complete it.
The last few rooms, no matter how complicated the sword style was, it only took 2 hours. He only needed to look at the images once.
Of course, he only remembered it. To fully comprehend its mysteries and even completely grasp how to use it, he still needed a lot of time to comprehend and connect with it.
At this moment, Zong Shou was at most able to barely display the 1st and 2nd sword styles of the 9 sword techniques.
He looked at it like he was looking at flowers on horseback. At the start, those ascended experts were a little shocked.
Then, no one cared anymore. They all thought that Zong Shou had no internal energy at all. To be able to stay here was already not bad. Not to mention looking at the images left by the martial saint.
Normal people would take a few more looks. His Divine Soul would most likely collapse. For Zong Shou to be able to last so long here, his will was not bad.
As for Long Ruo and the others, they didn't care at all. In these stone rooms, they bumped into each other several times, but they didn't even exchange a single word.
Zong Shou didn't bother. Long Ruo and the others also didn't run over to find trouble with him.
Zhao Yanran and the other people who knew the inside story were shocked and unsure. Thinking to themselves that with Zong Shou's talent, did this fellow comprehend all the 9 stone rooms and the 9 stone murals?
If that was the case, then this Zong Shou could be called a pervert. He was just too much of a demon.
Zong Shou didn't feel anything at all. At noon on the 4th day, after he finished looking at the last martial saint image, he felt that this set of 99 Long Ying sword was still lacking something.
99 Long Ying sword's changes shouldn't be limited to just this. If one talked about the sword techniques and heart sutras that he trained in, at most, he could only merge the 9 true dragon sword techniques together and improve one another.
The Power of these sword moves, with Zong Shou's half stage, was at most the peak of grade 9, heaven shocking grade martial arts. Half a step to grade 10, but in the end, he wasn't able to step in.
However, this 99 Long Ying sword was the real deal during the ancient desolate era. It was recognized by all experts as a true grade 10 pinnacle technique!
"It must be lacking something, lacking the most crucial part …"
Zong Shou didn't suspect that the Long Ying old man was hiding something. He was only afraid that he missed out on something.
Without hesitation, he entered the stone room once more. This time he was really careful, not missing out on even the slightest bit of changes in the sword technique.
He used a full 2 days, but when Zong Shou walked out of the last stone room, he still didn't gain anything. Apart from having a deeper grasp of the 9 sword techniques, he didn't discover anything else.
"Could it be that this Sword Art was originally incomplete? But that Long Ying old man, even if he wanted to find the person who inherited his technique, he shouldn't have hidden this crucial part … "
Following which he laughed bitterly. What kind of person was that Long Ying old man? A Martial Saint, such a powerful and famous person, how could he possibly guess the temperament of such a person?
He could only do his best and leave it to the heavens. What he needed to do now was to go all out to search. If he really couldn't learn the complete sword technique, then he was helpless.
Zong Shou decided to just sit down in front of the screen wall, looking at the true dragon stone carvings and going into a daze.
The only place he could think of now was this place.
He remembered that when he first looked at it, he felt that the giant dragon stone carvings on the screen wall weren't right, like it was missing something.
Correspondingly, the 99 shadow dragon sword was also missing a portion. There had to be a connection between the two.
Who knows, maybe the mysteries were all within.
On the night of the 6th day, cracking sounds spread out from the upper level stone cave once more.
Within the stone cave of the lightning dragon sword, another iron door opened. This time, the ones who walked in from outside were Zong Yuan and Gong Yue.
Not only were Zhao Yanran and the others shocked, but the other ascended experts all looked over, not understanding how the 2 of them managed to enter.
However, with Zong Shou and the others, they were all in front of them. For the 2 of them to be able to enter the upper level on the 6th day, it didn't seem like much.
When he learned that Zong Shou was here, Zong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't bother to comprehend the stone walls, walking directly to the main hall.
Looking at Zong Shou's body, as expected, he was sitting in front of the screen wall. Zong Yuan's face was filled with joy. Walking to the side, he felt that something wasn't right.
At this moment, Zong Shou was obviously focused. It was like he was totally bewitched, staring at the screen wall.
Even when Zong Yuan was by his side for a long time, he didn't notice anything. It was like there was nothing else in his mind. Only the expression in his eyes kept changing, suddenly filled with passion and then disappointment.
His hands were gesturing with one another, like he was deducing something.
Zong Yuan stood there for a moment, smiling slightly in the end. He didn't try to disturb him, directly changing his body and returning to the stone room of the giant lightning dragon.
On the 8th day, pretty much everyone in the stone cave knew that another idiot had appeared in the cave.
Entering this cave was a once in a hundred year chance. There were only a total of 9 days. Once the 9 days passed, they would be teleported out.
Here, it wasn't even enough to look at the images on the stone walls without eating or drinking. How would they have time to look at the screen wall that was mysterious but was obviously a trap that everyone gave up on?
Looking at the images on the stone walls had real benefits. Even if they couldn't comprehend the sword technique. It could also strengthen their grasp and comprehension of the martial path intent.
What could there be within the screen wall? Apart from looking at it at the start, which felt a little mysterious, the rest were just some random lines that formed a dragon shape.
Moreover, Zong Shou wasn't in a daze for 2 to 4 hours, but for a full 2 days …
Amongst them, there were many whose eyes were filled with mocking intent. However, this place was filled with the elite disciples of the various sects and factions. Not only were their strength and talents better than others, but they also had good upbringing that others couldn't compare to.
At most, they only exchanged glances and didn't speak.
"Is this person dumb? Why is he wasting so much time on this screen wall? Does he really think that he is the only smart person in the world? "
"… Maybe he is helpless. I can see that this kid has no internal energy or soul power. If he continues to look at those martial saint images, he won't be able to live until he gets out. Choosing this screen wall is better than having his soul destroyed … "
After the 9th day, there wasn't even such eye contact anymore. Everyone was grasping this last bit of time, and no one bothered about him.
At noon on the last day, Zong Shou's eyes lit up and he stood up.
The lightning winged sword in his hand was pulled out and he pointed at the screen wall in front of him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
