4. Spiritual Qi Transforming Sword

Gu Dao looked at his portrait on the scroll. Before he could be surprised, a gust of wind blew around him.

The few of them hurriedly protected the lantern. One of the Gu family members quietly tugged at Gu Jin's clothes."Second Brother Jin, is Eldest Brother crazy again?"

Gu Jin guessed that something was wrong and was looking at his eldest brother carefully. He did not dare to move easily for fear of breaking a taboo.

Hearing his cousin's words, he didn't say much. He just glared at him, and he was already so frightened that he smiled embarrassedly and didn't dare to say anything more.

Gu Jin observed for a moment and did not see anything unusual. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at his brothers."We'll go wherever Brother Mingchang goes later. If he stops, we'll stop." He doesn't allow us to speak, so no one is allowed to say anything."

His serious appearance immediately caused the hearts of the Gu clan members to tremble. They even felt that the wind seemed to be a little colder than before.

Actually, Gu Dao only knew how to read and was very dull in the ways of the world. His family background was not as good as his. It was hard to say how much Gu Jin trusted his big brother.

However, what Gu Dao said today was unbelievable, and now the dense fog and cold wind were really strange. He would rather believe it than not believe it. He could only choose to believe this "silly brother" at home.

Perhaps the madness not long ago had allowed her brother to benefit from the misfortune and gain some wisdom.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Dao moved.

Everyone saw that his footwork was strange. It seemed to be trembling and swaying. He slowly walked down the rural road as if he was carrying a heavy burden, as if he was going to walk into a farmland.

"Second Brother, Eldest Brother went that way. Should we follow him?"

Gu Er made up his mind."Follow me!"

As soon as he said that, Gu Dao turned around with a wooden face."You, you all stand here and don't move."

Gu Jin saw that he had called him separately from the other brothers and was startled by his cold expression."Big Brother, we should go together and take care of each other."

"I, I want you guys to come with me too!"

Gu Dao cursed in his heart. He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at the field."But that old man won't let you go over."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Under the thick fog, it was so dark that they couldn't see anyone clearly. They could only see faint shadows, as if someone was standing.

However, Gu Dao knew that if it was sunny now, his brothers would be able to see what was there.

It was just a few graves…

As for him, who possessed the Spirit Awakening Art, he was able to see more than ordinary people.

There was nothing strange about it, just a few old farmers floating in the air.

"Fellow townsman, there's no need to trouble yourself. I've already found the things myself."

When the old farmer saw Gu Dao walk in shakily, he raised his hand and gently nodded his head as he said with a smile. There was a hint of kindness in his honest smile.

Gu Dao braced himself and bowed to the old man."Old man, it's getting dark. The child should go home for dinner." If it's any later, my family will be worried."

As he spoke, he pointed at the child, Xuan 'er, who was sleeping soundly in the grass beside the grave.

"Family?" The old man was stunned.

"Yes, you all have families. Xuan 'er told us that you all have families!"

As he spoke, his smiling face gradually fell."Your surname must be Gu. You've been flourishing for hundreds of years. Back then, there were only two brothers. Now, there must be hundreds of close and distant relatives."

The old man pointed at the six or seven Gu brothers who were standing on the ground in a daze.

"You're all good children. You know how to respect your ancestors. There will always be many children from the Gu family around here during the New Year and Qingming Festival."

Gu Dao could only go along with his words."It's what I should do. It's all a child's duty."

Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly roared, and his eyes turned pitch-black. He stabbed his chest with one hand, and a cold wind blew as he moved."But what about us?!" Do you know that the wind at the end of the year is cold? Where are our children?

They're all good children, but we can't see each other in life or death. You scholars always talk about parting in life and death. Do you know what it means to part in life and death?"

After he finished shouting, he stopped the few companions behind him who were equally fierce. He looked at Xuan 'er with a smile on his face and turned back into the simple old farmer from before.

"Xuan 'er is a good child. He even knew how to sing. Have you ever heard of a play? This old man had heard it when he was young. It was really nice. Later, when the disaster came, the bandits also came. But people are living less and less."

Gu Dao frowned and stood in front of the old man. He suddenly felt that these things were not scary anymore.

It turned out that they also had feelings, but the wrong feelings would only lead to the wrong result.

"Old man, look at him." Gu Dao ignored the murderous look in the old man's eyes as he spoke. He walked closer to Xuan 'er and took off his coat to put it on him.

"He's breathing and has a heartbeat. He's a healthy child. What's more fortunate is that his parents are well fed and don't have to worry about food."

Xuan 'er frowned in his sleep and mumbled. Gu Dao squatted down and touched his head.

"You guys are different, but isn't that good? Since you like him, do you want him to feel the cold wind at the end of the year?

Old man, now…it was the golden age. Don't let the children of the prosperous world experience the things of the chaotic world, right?"

Gu Dao paused when he mentioned Glory World. Compared to the later generations, was this place really considered a prosperous age? If he did, there wouldn't be these pitiful people.

"What golden age? I don't understand! But you can't take this child away today. Soon, he will come to accompany us. He…"

Stubborn old farmers whose minds were sometimes good and sometimes bad, as well as the ability to see things that ordinary people could not see but did not have any lethality.

They seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Gu Dao squatted on the ground and looked at Xuan 'er as if he was in a difficult position, but in fact, he was studying the engine of Ling Jue Ming on the painting.

The icon of the phoenix-eye golden pupil was always lit up, occasionally flashing brilliantly.

What was maintaining this ability? Gu Dao knew that he could already use his spiritual perception before the scroll appeared or before it was "activated". He just did not know what kind of ability it was.

Was it possible that the [Intuition] didn't come from the scroll, but was reflected on the scroll because he had this skill?

In that case, it was not the scroll that had activated the spirit perception, but his own body.

He made a bold decision. If he turned off his spiritual awareness from the scroll. This way…could he release this power from another channel?

This was a dangerous attempt. It was equivalent to closing one's eyes without knowing whether the enemy had an effective attack or not. However, one did not know if one could punch.

Gu Dao glanced at the old farmer. Its body was trembling non-stop. He did not know if this was a sign that its intelligence was going out of control.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If he and the others had not come over to stall the old farmer for a moment, who knew if they would have been able to arrive in time when Sir invited them.

But now…

Calm down! Gu Dao forced himself to be on high alert. The appearance of the scroll must be meaningful. Skills, portraits…

He turned his gaze from the skill to the portrait. In the portrait, he was valiant and heroic. He held a lamp in his left hand and made a sword finger gesture with his right hand.

Wait a minute! If 'bright lamp' represented 'spiritual perception', then' sword finger'…

'Damn the painting, it's really detestable and cute.' Gu Dao laughed. He had more or less guessed it.

"Old man, let's talk about a condition. Although my Gu family is not very rich, we have a rough understanding of etiquette. Let this child go. In the future, we will also regard you as our benefactors, sweeping and offering sacrifices during festivals and offering clothes during winter. How is it?"

Gu Dao made a final effort because the old man's words had actually moved him a little.

"It's too late. The things over there are too fierce. We won't be able to enjoy your sweeping sacrifice in time. Chaotic world, chaotic world is coming again."

The old man pointed at Jin Ning. After saying that, he seemed to have lost his last bit of rationality. It turned into a ferocious face and pounced at him and Xuan 'er.

"Sigh…"

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Gu Dao sighed and deeply remembered the general location of these farmers. He then sank his consciousness into the painting.

Spirit Awareness closed!

In an instant, he lost all sight and hearing of the farmers. He felt as if he had fallen into a cold and suffocating wind. Hatred, hesitation, loneliness... all kinds of emotions that made him collapse instantly eroded him.

Don't guess wrong!

Gu Dao stared at the blackened Spirit Perception icon.

In an instant, the lamp in Gu Dao's hand in the picture went out, but a golden light that was about an inch long and shaped like a cone appeared on his sword finger.

The icon lit up again. It was no longer Spirit Awareness. Instead, it was a sword wrapped in golden dragons that revealed its sharpness---Spirit Killing Sword (Skill Type: Mutated; Effect: Spiritual Qi Transforms into a Sword, Slashes the hardest to slash by ordinary people!)

He had guessed correctly!

Gu Dao held his breath and jumped up. His right hand formed a sword finger shape and slashed at the gusts of cold wind!

Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Han Muye, who had exceptional comprehension skills, was reborn into a cultivation world. He joined a clan which specialized in swordsmanship. He then became the keeper who looked after the swords in the Swords Pavilion. There were more than 100,000 swords stored in the pavilion. The keeper was tasked to clean all of them once a month. When Han Muge cleaned the Qinghe sword, he acquired a hint of Sword Qi. When he cleaned the Ziyan sword, he comprehended the swordsmanship, the Burning Plain, left behind by the original owner of the sword. He also acquired the Sword Qi of Burning Flame. When he cleaned the Shanyue sword, he comprehended the teachings left behind by Master Boulder and learned the Mountain Sword Technique. … Han Muye built up his Sword Qi bit by bit during the past 60 years working as a keeper in the pavilion. Throughout the 60 years, a disciple came to seek a sword in the pavilion, and he received guidance from Han Muye. The Sacred Maiden from the demonic clan attempted to steal a sword from the pavilion, but in the end, she left dejected and empty-handed. A swordsman came to challenge Han Muye, and he left with a broken sword. … 60 years later, the Celestial World invaded the mortal world. The disciple had become an exceptional Sword Deity. He wielded his sword and protected a part of the world. The Sacred Maiden had become the demonic clan leader. She sent a letter to the Swords Pavilion and led her clan to fight against the gods. The swordsman had achieved enlightenment in his swordsmanship. His Sword Qi rifled up to the sky. … The gods from the Celestial World loomed over the sky above. Han Muye slowly stood up. 100,000 swords followed him as he emerged from the pavilion. His Sword Qi could be sensed from 30,000 miles away, and his Sword Will pierced through the realms. He declared, “Today, I, Han Muye, will traverse the sky. I want to see who among the gods dares to invade this mortal world.”
