Junko's speed was very fast, like a bolt of lightning shuttling through the forest of swords, and the wind blew the bamboos.
She didn't have a sword in her hand, but her fingers quickly formed a series of hand seals.
Every time she formed a hand seal, the air would vibrate, as if there was a mysterious power contained within the hand seal.
These hand seals were very important in ninjutsu, and they were the source of power. This was the experience accumulated by countless ancestors.
As long as a hand seal was formed, the corresponding ninjutsu would be activated.
This was very different from the magic of Hua Xia. It was derived from the Island nation after learning the basics of magic.
When ninjutsu was practiced to the extreme, these hand seals didn't necessarily need to be formed with both hands. With a move of the mind, the ninjutsu would naturally be activated.
This was much faster and more powerful than the hand seals he made.
Junko's cultivation hadn't reached that level yet, but her fingers were flying and forming hand seals was very fast.
These hand seals were Kendo hand seals. Although there was no sword, a trace of sword energy had already spread in the air.
All of a sudden, she stopped in her tracks and pushed her hands forward. Vast and mighty Sword Qi surged forward like an avalanche.
Pa pa pa!
⊙∠，
The bamboo bent backward and almost fell to the ground, but it didn't break. It seemed to be very resilient.
As soon as the sword energy passed, the bamboo bounced back and pierced the sky.
Kacha!
The sound of silk tearing suddenly sounded, which was particularly eye-catching in this silent forest of swords.
Junko's face changed slightly, and her eyes locked on a bamboo not far away.
A crack appeared on the bamboo, and then the crack spread in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the bamboo was full of cracks.
Junko's eyes flashed with ecstasy and expectation, as if something good was about to happen.
Whoosh ~
A breeze blew through the forest of swords, and the bamboo leaves rustled.
As for the bamboo that was full of cracks, it broke into pieces and turned into powder that drifted in the air.
In the blink of an eye, the bamboo that pierced the sky disappeared.
Junko didn't move, and she stared at the smoke with a strange look in her eyes.
The smoke dissipated, and a ray of light lit up.
Junko's breathing became rapid, and without blinking, she walked step by step toward the light.
Finally, this ray of light revealed its true appearance.
It was a sword, green all over, and it was like a pool of autumn water, rippling with a mysterious aura.
Junko stood in front of the sword and stared at it with burning eyes, muttering to herself, "The Sword Forest finally gave me a sword."
The Sword Forest gave a sword, this was the dream of the Imperial Preceptor's disciples. Only when their cultivation reached a certain level would the Sword Forest give a sword.
This was an independent behavior of the Sword Forest, and even the Imperial Preceptor couldn't change it.
From this point, one could also see the magic of the Forest.
Junko's hands trembled as she reached out and grabbed the hilt. She subconsciously closed her eyes, as if she was carefully perceiving the sword.
"Clang!"
The long sword was lifted up high by Junko. The setting sun sprinkled down from the sky, and the mottled light reflected off the sword, rippling with a mysterious and powerful aura.
Junko sighed in her heart. She had been cultivating for so long and had been looking forward to this day, but she hadn't had a breakthrough.
She didn't expect to gain so much after fighting with Tang Zheng this time.
She couldn't help but think of that delicate face. With a complicated expression, she sighed, "Should I thank him?"
"Humph!"
In the next second, she rejected this ridiculous idea. This was her own contribution over a long period of time. What did it have to do with that person?
Since her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds and the Sword Forest had given her a sword, the next time she met Tang Zheng, the outcome would be uncertain.
She was full of confidence and excitement. She took a deep look at the Sword Forest, and strode out of the Forest.
While strolling in the village, pairs of surprised eyes were fixed on the long sword in her hand.
Many people reacted, and their eyes were filled with envy.
Junko walked in front of the crowd with a calm expression.
Suddenly, a person walked in front of her and blocked her way.
Li Xiaotian looked at Junko with a complicated expression and said, "Is the Sword Forest really so magical? Your cultivation has improved greatly after going in."
Junko looked at her indifferently and didn't say a word.
"I really want to go to your Sword Forest and experience it once," Li Xiaotian said enviously.
Junko's expression turned cold, and she warned, "The Sword Forest is an important place in the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter, let alone an outsider like you. If you dare to have any ideas about the Sword Forest, I advise you to give up."
Junko was very curious about Li Xiaotian. Back then, the Imperial Preceptor asked her to bring Li Xiaotian back. The two of them talked for a long time behind closed doors, and even Junko didn't know what they talked about.
This added a mysterious aura to Li Xiaotian's body.
In the past few days, Li Xiaotian had been staying in the village like a transcendent existence. It was unknown why she continued to stay here.
Junko instinctively resisted Li Xiaotian. Perhaps it was because they were both women, especially beautiful women, and they didn't get along well with each other.
However, due to the Imperial Preceptor's orders, she didn't dare to do anything to Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian didn't care about Junko's warning. Instead, she looked at the Sword Forest from afar, and her eyes kept changing. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Have you found Tang Zheng?" Li Xiaotian retracted her gaze and asked.
Junko hesitated for a moment and said, "He showed up today."
Li Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, then he should be the one who showed up on his own, and not you who found him, right?"
Junko's eyes flashed with a strange color. Li Xiaotian had guessed correctly.
Li Xiaotian wasn't surprised at all and said with a smile, "Tang Zheng is very cunning. If he really wants to hide, I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world who can find him. However, I don't think he can hide forever. If he has a request, then of course he will have to show up. "
Junko stared straight at Li Xiaotian and asked, "You know his purpose?"
"Of course, he has the Emperor in his hands. Of course you won't refuse to use the Emperor's life in exchange for the truth of the island incident." Li Xiaotian said.
Junko couldn't laugh anymore. She coldly snorted and turned to walk toward the cabin.
Li Xiaotian chuckled twice and followed closely behind him.
"What are you doing?" Junko stopped in front of the cabin and stared at Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian didn't move and said with a smile, "I want to see the Imperial Preceptor, so of course I have to come here."
"Do you think you can see the Imperial Preceptor as you wish?" Junko angrily said. Even the Emperor couldn't see the Imperial Preceptor as he wished. What ability did this outsider have to say that he wanted to see the Imperial Preceptor? Did he think this was his family's land?
Li Xiaotian didn't get angry and lightly said, "The Imperial Preceptor has the final say. Your words can't make the decision."
After that, he pushed the wooden door.
Junko wanted to stop him, but an old voice jumped out from the crack of the door, "Junko, invite the guest in."
Junko's movement immediately froze. Her face slightly changed and she had to stop her attack.
Squeak!
The wooden door automatically opened.
Li Xiaotian walked in and the light immediately dimmed. Only the faint light outside the window and outside the door shone into the cabin, allowing people to vaguely recognize the surrounding environment.
Although it was the second time he came in, Li Xiaotian still felt his heart being fiercely squeezed and a sense of suffocation hit him in the face.
This wooden house wasn't very big, especially after seeing the situation inside, he felt that the wooden house was very small.
There was very little furniture in the cabin. There was only a table and a bed. It was very simple.
Of course, there was a reason for this. It was because there wasn't enough space in the cabin. Most of the cabin was occupied by a large pit.
There was a large pit in the middle of the cabin. It was filled with swords, like a pool of swords.
This large pit was the Sword Pool. It was a relic left behind by the Imperial Preceptor. It was another important place in the Imperial Preceptor's residence besides the Sword Forest.
However, the Sword Pool was guarded by the Imperial Preceptor. No one was allowed to approach it without permission.
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but look at the Sword Pool. Even though he had seen it once, when he saw it again, he still felt a kind of austere aura coming from it.
This Sword Pool was very famous, even more famous than the Sword Forest. It was because of the masters of these swords.
The masters of these swords were all experts of their generation, especially sword experts. These people came to challenge the master of the Imperial Preceptor's residence, the Imperial Preceptor. However, time after time, it was proven that their challenge was ridiculous and laughable.
Compared to the Imperial Preceptor, they couldn't withstand a single blow and were not worth mentioning.
It was precisely because they lost to the Imperial Preceptor that their swords were left in the Sword Pool. After accumulating for a long time, the Sword Pool became what it was today.
Junko followed Li Xiaotian's gaze and looked at the Sword Pool. She snorted coldly as if to remind Li Xiaotian not to let his imagination run wild.
Of course, there were many precious divine weapons in the Sword Pool. Even after so many years, the quality and power of these weapons were definitely not bad.
It was a coincidence for an ordinary person to obtain a divine weapon. However, there were so many divine weapons that were covered in dust. It couldn't help but sigh.
If one could take away one of the swords, its power would definitely increase greatly after leaving the Sword Pool.
However, the Imperial Preceptor's residence had never done so. They had always kept the Sword Pool as a place for their disciples to visit.
Li Xiaotian shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the darkness behind the Sword Pool.
In the darkness, a person was quietly sitting cross-legged. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but he seemed to be very thin and small. He sat quietly on the chair with his head lowered.
Li Xiaotian already knew that this person was the famous Imperial Preceptor. He didn't dare to be the slightest bit arrogant and cupped his hands in greeting.
