Capítulo 1085: Chapter 653: Shabby Room Inscription and Entering the Abyssal Carp
“So you’re really not planning to go find Zhu Yourong again?”
“For now.”
“Previously, Yu Huaijin and the others didn’t hold back from guarding against you two, and you didn’t seem to avoid it. Why is Young Master Zhao dodging danger this ti?”
“Waking you up wasn’t for you to ask a hundred thousand questions.”
Gui chuckled lightly, “Isn’t it a pity that I can’t witness your great friendship anymore?”
Zhao Rong’s mouth twitched, “Stop trying to witness it, any more and there’ll be trouble.”
In the midnight, the sword spirit awoken retorted, “Isn’t our Peach Blossom Sword Master afraid of trouble?”
Zhao Rong didn’t speak.
He semi-closed the chess manual by his hand, freeing up his hand to trim the wick of the candle.
The orange light on the desk beca a bit brighter.
He turned his head to look at the bed not far away.
Qian’er on the bed had a sweet smile on her round little face as she slept soundly.
The sword spirit in the Heart Lake seed to stretch lazily, “How long did I sleep this ti?”
“Three days.”
“Tsk, you’ve returned to the Academy so quickly? I thought you just deflowered them and would linger for a dozen days. Was thinking of resting more, this trip to Great Li was exhausting, almost couldn’t return.”
Zhao Rong nodded, “Sorry to disappoint you.”
Gui glanced outside, “Not disappointed, didn’t you just ‘finish’ being busy? Got the young girls all worn out.”
Zhao Rong slightly frowned, ignoring its topic, reopened the chess manual, his main focus for review during this major exam was chess strategy and painting skill.
His eyes fixed on the page with black and white pieces drawn, the Heart Lake quietly said:
“I’ve carefully reviewed the events in Great Li these days.”
Gui’s tone heightened a bit, “Oh?”
Zhao Rong’s voice was calm, “Especially the series of events during those days at the Sacrificial Moon Mountain’s sealing ceremonies.”
The sword spirit was silent for a while, softly summarized, “Highs and lows, nine deaths and a life, phenona occurring one after another.”
Zhao Rong nodded, “The situation in Great Li appears simple, but beneath it, it’s more complicated than I imagined. Those days were a testant to that, I was wholly unprepared beforehand.”
“You suspect soone set a trap?”
Zhao Rong stared at the page in silence for a mont, then shook his head, “This descent from the mountain was a competition with ng Zhengjun, I volunteered, it wasn’t exactly a trap setting, at most… soone secretly gave Qin Jianfu a chance to kill.”
He took out the Fallen Sword Bag and placed it on the table.
Gui, seemingly thoughtful, asked, “Besides the Qin clan of Great Wei and the extinguished Qingxu Temple of Zhongnan Country, do you have other enemies?”
Zhao Rong fiddled with the seemingly ordinary yet precious gray tobacco pouch, shook his head, “Haven’t found any yet… let’s not dwell on this, I have so questions for you now.”
“What is it?”
“Regarding the two sets of Outer Realm Skills you gave at the Sacrificial Moon Mountain, you didn’t explain much at the ti due to the tight schedule. I’ve been reviewing them these days and have so new doubts and thoughts. I need to consult you.”
The sword spirit’s voice returned to more laziness, “Speak.”
These two techniques were left by the unknown Demon Dragon and the Outer Realm Martial Artist that Gui had once ntioned. The two fought fiercely, but ultimately, Gui reaped the benefits of their conflict and took them all.
Gui showed him the terrifying Outer Realm beings’ grand scenery at Sacrificial Moon Mountain and the Imperial Mausoleum, through a peculiar form of ‘contemplation’ establishing a mysterious connection with these beings from tens of thousands of years ago, gaining two indescribable ‘skills.’ Gui later said this was the highest form of teaching, Golden Ancient Books and Preaching Scrolls were too outdated.
And now, these two sets of Outer Realm Skills with unknown grade had no textual content in Zhao Rong’s mind, no Qi Manipulation Technique of the Eight Extraordinary ridians, nor any Secret Technique Of Killing.
They were sowhat akin to the internal cultivation thods described in the martial arts novels Zhao Rong read in his previous life, the most fundantal existence.
Additionally, the only physical manifestation of them was this Heart Lake in Zhao Rong’s brow wheel, where the Dragon Carp and Evil Flood Dragon coexisted.
And Gui was the one who helped transform them, being the dragon tar, assisting his cultivation.
Previously, the sword spirit ntioned that the phenonon of this Heart Lake was too fierce, it had to join the fray and guard Zhao Rong, watching over him the whole way.
Zhao Rong remained indifferent.
He felt this Flood Dragon Abyss Heart Lake was sowhat similar to Qing Jun’s Lotus Pond Heart Lake, but his was acquired, whereas the latter was innate, naturally Qing Jun’s was safer and more harmonious.
However, who could bla him for starting with a waste material template, now ascending the mountain, he can only seek great benefits amidst great perils.
The Evil Flood Dragon is a top-tier fatal entity of the Heart Lake; ordinary cultivators encountering one would treat it as a dire foe. But Gui was talented and daring, had extrely profound understanding of the Great Dao, even ordinary Seventh Realm cultivators in this world could hardly compare, he just went directly with the blessing in disguise.”
Zhao Rong lightly sighed.
But recently, having just undergone a life-and-death calamity made his crisis awareness very strong, he had to figure out certain situations.
Zhao Rong first asked:
“Do these two techniques have nas?”
“No.” Gui paused, glanced sideways, “Mainly because I can’t understand the language from that fierce Outer Realm Martial Artist’s holand, the nas are a long string, written like common words written backward, sowhat eerie.”
Zhao Rong contemplated, “How about you write one for to see?”
Gui impatiently said, “Those scribbles, how could I rember them clearly? Being able to recall these two ‘Great Dao Landscapes’ from across millennia for you is good enough, what more do you want? Anyway, it’s all passed on to you. Contemplating their Great Dao Landscapes is sufficient, easy to understand, others are desperate for this passing thod, why are you dwelling on it so much?”
