The process was smooth, and Mo Wuji only took a few minutes to descend a distance of about 30 meters. At this point, even with the help of the hazy moonlight, Mo Wuji could clearly see the condition of the broken sword.
The hilt of the broken sword had been pierced through by a mottled chain, and was locked to the cliff. Perhaps due to the long years of erosion, the quality of this broken sword was not as good as the one he obtained from the Formless Blade Mountain.
Mo Wuji did not care about the quality of the broken sword. He did not want the broken sword, but the thing inside it. Moreover, he did not intend to take this broken sword with him.
Even though the broken sword was right in front of him, Mo Wuji did not panic, and even slowed down a little. This was a habit he had developed over the years. The more successful he was, the more cautious he had to be.
Just as Mo Wuji was less than a meter away from the broken sword, a strong force suddenly swept over him. The strong force swept Mo Wuji up, and brought him back down. It was as if a strong gust of wind had swept past, and Mo Wuji landed heavily on the cliff. Even though Mo Wuji was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and broke one of his ribs.
Mo Wuji hurriedly pulled out his knife, and stabbed it into the crevice of the cliff. Fortunately, this force left as quickly as it came. It only taught Mo Wuji a lesson before disappearing without a trace.
Mo Wuji took out a pill from his pocket, and swallowed it. There was clearly no wind at all, but he was swept up.
Thinking about the suction force of the Hanging Sword Cliff, Mo Wuji did not dare to be careless. He waited for close to a minute, and when he was sure that the gust did not come, he slowly descended again.
Two minutes later, Mo Wuji was already at the same place where the broken sword was. Beneath his feet was the same pitch black cliff, and Mo Wuji could even feel the cold air coming from below. There seemed to be all sorts of strange sounds coming from beneath his feet, causing goosebumps to form all over his body.
Mo Wuji knew that this might not be an illusion. As a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator, even though he could not withstand a single blow from those immortal masters, he was still considered an expert amongst mortals.
This Hanging Sword Cliff was very strange. Mo Wuji carefully laid on the cliff and did not immediately reach out to grab the broken sword. Instead, he took out a sharp knife and started digging on the cliff. He wanted to find a place to hide first. If the sudden force came again, even if he didn't fall to his death, he would be crushed to death by the force on the cliff.
Moreover, the legendary suction force had yet to appear. Once it did, who knew if his rope would be able to protect him? The broken sword was placed here. What if he touched the broken sword and triggered a chain reaction? There was no harm in being careful. There was still a long time before daybreak, so it was always good to be more vigilant.
Mo Wuji's Channel Opening Stage Level 4 strength quickly dug out a space for him to curl up in.
When doing such things, Mo Wuji did not lack patience. Back on Earth, the teacher who had taught him about pharmacology had told him that if a person had enough endurance and patience, then he would be halfway to success. The other half depended on strength. If a person was impatient and impatient, then he would fail 90% of the time and the remaining 10% would depend on luck.
Mo Wuji had always remembered this sentence. It was also because of this sentence that he had achieved many successes.
After Mo Wuji had dug a space to curl up in, he carefully reached out to grab the broken sword in his hand.
Everything was calm and peaceful. There was no strong suction force that pulled him down the cliff, nor was there any sudden force that swept him away.
Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. With one hand supporting himself against the cliff wall, he flipped the broken sword over with his other hand.
There were two words carved on the hilt of the broken sword: Luoqu. Yan Qianyin was not lying. This was indeed Mo Luoqu's sword. The attentive Mo Wuji soon discovered that the two words were carved later. The original words seemed to have been covered up. From the looks of it, this sword was not forged by Mo Luoqu. It should have been carved after Mo Luoqu obtained it and liked it, so he carved his name on it.
The broken sword was covered with moss, but it looked very smooth. Mo Wuji carefully used the knife in his hand to pick it up. Just as he picked up the moss, a violent force swept towards him.
Even though the hole Mo Wuji dug was very small, this force still sent him crashing into the wall, almost breaking his arm.
After this wave of force, an even stronger force swept towards him. This time, the force came from the ground. An incomparably strong suction force directly wrapped around Mo Wuji, pulling him down.
Mo Wuji's scalp went numb, and he used even more strength to support himself against the wall. Fortunately, the strong suction force was only pulling Mo Wuji down vertically. Otherwise, no matter how much strength Mo Wuji used to support himself against the wall, he would still be pulled down.
"Ka …" The sound of Mo Wuji's left leg breaking could be heard. Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and forcefully supported his body.
He was secretly rejoicing in his heart. If not for the fact that he had carefully dug such a hiding place, with this terrifying suction force, the rope he was holding in place would have been pulled up along with the iron pole and dragged into the depths of the Hanging Sword Cliff. Even if he was not pulled up, his body would have been torn apart by this force.
After a full half an hour, the strong suction force gradually disappeared. Mo Wuji swallowed another pill. He hurriedly used the tip of his knife to pick up the moss on the broken sword.
The moss on the broken sword was picked up, and there seemed to be a flat piece of land. Mo Wuji carefully used the tip of his knife to pick at the flat piece of land. Sure enough, a small crack was picked up by Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji did not make the crack bigger, but took out a hook and stuck it in. In just one try, he used the hook to hook out a thin piece of cloth that was exactly the same as the one he had on him.
Holding back the joy in his heart, Mo Wuji put the thin piece of cloth into his pocket, and returned it back to its original position. When the cut was no longer strange, he carefully restored the moss.
Perhaps what he was doing was useless, but Mo Wuji did not mind. No matter what he did, he had to be careful and meticulous. Sometimes, a small thing that he did not care about, or that he thought was impossible, could actually happen.
This broken sword had been hanging here for god knows how many years. Perhaps even after so many years, no one would notice it. Mo Wuji did not think that way. Since he could discover the secret of the broken sword, he could not rule out the possibility that someone else would also discover it.
After everything was done, Mo Wuji gently let go of the broken sword. The moment he let go of the broken sword, the violent force from before appeared once again. Mo Wuji was still curled up in the hole he dug, waiting for the strong force to disappear.
After another half an hour, the strong suction force slowly disappeared. Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. After waiting for a few more minutes, he pulled on the rope and prepared to leave.
It was a pity that he couldn't fill up the hole he had dug. Otherwise, he would have filled it up before leaving.
With Mo Wuji's Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivation, and without any external influence, he pulled on the rope and landed on the Cliff Mountain in just a few minutes. After retracting the rope, Mo Wuji carefully sheathed the knife back into his boot.
He had swindled this dagger from Hu Fei, and it had saved his life many times. Now that Mo Wuji was at Channel Opening Stage Level 4, he could tell that this knife was not ordinary. Even though it was not a treasure, it was not something that could be forged by an ordinary smithy.
