In half the time of burning incense, all the sword cultivators gathered at the foot of Zhujian Mountain walked onto the mountain path.
They have already reached the foot of the mountain, and they want to see this century-old sword no matter what.
The mountain road behind Tong Qingshan is naturally difficult to walk.
This is a test, and it will definitely stop a group of people who do not meet the requirements of Zhujian Mountain at the foot of the mountain.
Since it is a test, no matter who it is, it will take a lot of effort.
Yu Zhi was not in a hurry, waiting for everyone to go in. He slowly walked up to Tong Qingshan and asked: "When Jianlu announced the birth of the Centenary Sword, it also sent a token. According to the past rules, the token was the qualification to compete for the Centenary Sword."
"Now that Jianlu has changed its rules, is this token still useful?"
Yu Zhi looked at Tong Qingshan and took out a small sword as long as his index finger from his arms. This is a special token made by Zhujian Mountain, and no one in the world can imitate it.
Tong Qingshan looked at the token and asked: "Jianlu never breaks its trust. Of course, the token is still useful. Those who hold the token can go directly to Jianhu Lake and wait for the birth of a century-old sword."
"No need to take the mountain trail."
Li Wantong asked curiously: "Senior, why didn't you tell me before? Some of them must also hold Jianlu's tokens."
Yu Zhi reached out and tapped Li Wantong's forehead, and said dotingly: "Tong'er, you are still too naive."
Yu Zhi looked towards the misty mountain road. "Since no one has asked, why do you have to say it? Why don't those people who already have tokens think that the tokens are still useful?"
Yu Zhi smiled slyly and said, "Senior, is this also a test in Jianlu?"
Tong Qingshan glanced at Yu Zhi and said calmly: "The sword also likes smart people, and fools are not worthy of being sword masters."
He took the small sword token from Yu Zhi's hand, looked at Yu Zhi and Li Wantong, and said, "Only one person can enter a token."
...
In the mountain road, Yu Zhi was cursing and muttering.
Because there was only one token, he had to let Li Wantong go up the mountain first.
Yu Zhi also had to walk on this mountain road.
The mountain road is the test of Jianzhu Mountain. In other words, if Jianlu wants to choose someone, it must be demanding.
Even if you want to protect Zhujian Mountain, you can't just do it with some rotten fish or shrimps.
Walking into the mountain road, Yu Zhi saw another scene in front of him - a winding path leading to a quiet place.
Yu Zhi raised his head and looked at the sunlight in the forest. This was not the light of the morning sun.
The true energy flows, his eyes are full of wind, but the scene in front of him still remains unchanged.
"Illusion? Or were you transferred to another place unknowingly?"
There is only one stone road in the deep forest. Moss grows among the rocks on the roadside. Not far away is a bamboo forest. It is autumn, but bamboo shoots standing on the ground like swords standing upside down are sprouting from the ground.
A little further away you can hear the gurgling sound of mountain streams.
The leisure here is unique and interesting.
But when Yu Zhi saw a group of people walking on the mountain road with difficulty, he felt that this place was not suitable for enjoying the scenery.
"The Sword-making Mountain has existed for thousands of years, and its methods are unpredictable. This must be a formation set up by an expert on the mountain."
From the moment they stepped onto the mountain trail, some people stopped moving forward. If you are not strong enough, you can only stop on the mountain road.
At this time, Tong Qingshan's voice floated in the forest.
"This is a sword embryo left behind by a swordsmith five hundred years ago. It has been transformed into a mountain road in the swordsmithing mountain. There are 360 steps in total. It contains the will of the swordsmith and can turn wind into rain and reincarnate the four seasons."
"If you don't get out of the mountain path within one stick of incense, please leave on your own."
Everyone looked at the mountain road at their feet. No one expected that this ordinary stone road turned out to be a sword embryo.
As a result, everyone's eyes became more intense, and they were even more eager for Jianlu's sword.
A sword embryo is so magical, let alone a century-old sword that took hundreds of years and the hard work of countless swordsmiths to create.
"Damn it, I really don't believe it anymore." One person roared angrily, and with enough energy, he took a few steps forward.
The others followed suit and rushed up the mountain road with all their strength.
But not everyone can succeed.
The wind blows the leaves.
An invisible sword energy blocked those people from climbing the mountain, and some were even shaken back, vomiting blood.
Yu Zhi looked at these people on the mountain road with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"Three hundred and sixty steps, the cycle of the four seasons... So it's spring now?" Yu Zhi looked at the old trees sprouting new buds and felt the touch of vitality.
Yu Zhi tried to take the first step, and suddenly felt an invisible force hindering his progress.
Yu Zhi raised his head and looked at the front of the mountain road. The stream was singing softly, the spring breeze was in his arms, and the vitality of all things was ready to revive.
This mushrooming force broke through the hard soil, an unspeakable and overwhelming force.
It is really hard to imagine that just a sword embryo has such power.
Step two.
Yu Zhi raised his feet and landed on the second step.
The feeling coming from my body became heavier. It seemed as if new buds were blooming from the dead branches in front of my eyes, and the green shadows were full of newness.
The third step...a touch of wind turns the world green.
the fourth step......
the fifth step......
The power on the sword embryo cannot stop Yu Zhi from moving forward.
But Yu Zhi walked very slowly, and he was slowly feeling the power coming from the sword embryo.
The sword is the king of all weapons. It is both a king and a gentleman.
This wonderful power is more like the sword intention contained in the sword embryo.
For example, Yu Zhi's Dawn Sword Intention, Ye Qinghuan's Frost Destruction Sword Intention...each represents a different power.
The spring breeze greens all things, which is new life and hope.
Contains the power of endless hope.
Yu Zhi climbed up the stairs step by step, feeling the sword intent with every step.
Unconsciously, I have taken eighty-six steps.
He passed a lot of them, and it looked like he was taking every step very slowly, but in reality he was just trying to feel the power in the sword embryo.
After stopping, Yu Zhi looked ahead, and the figure carrying a book box came into Yu Zhi's eyes.
That is the sword book from Bailu City.
When returning to Kyoto from Beiliang Mansion, Yu Zhi passed by Bailu City, and it was with the cooperation of Bailu City guard Huben that he captured Wang Wufeng.
However, while passing by Bailu City in a hurry, Yu Zhi didn't hear about the reputation of sword books.
Moreover, Jian Shu is also a low-key person.
When Jian Shu saw someone coming up, he smiled in a friendly manner, showing the demeanor of a scholar who is knowledgeable and sensible.
Jian Shu entered the mountain road earlier than Yu Zhi, and with Jian Shu's strength, he should have taken the lead, unless he, like Yu Zhi, was comprehending the sword intention in the sword embryo.
Yu Zhi also nodded slightly as a response.
The two of them walked up together.
The tests of other sword cultivators were not considered tests to the two of them.
Many of them could no longer hold on, rolled down the mountain path, and exited the mountain gate.
There are also people who are holding on desperately in order to see the elegance of the century-old sword with their own eyes.
Step ninety-one.
Yu Zhi stepped on the ninety-first stone slab and felt a blazing flame coming toward his face in a daze.
In an instant, Yu Zhi was sweating profusely, and there was a lot of sweat on his face.
The gentle sword intent like the spring breeze and rain disappeared, replaced by the blazing sword intent like the scorching sun burning the heart.
"Three hundred and sixty steps, four seasons of reincarnation. Ninety steps are one season." Yu Zhi murmured. He looked back at the ninety steps behind him. There was a magical power hidden beneath the ordinary steps.
"Step ninety-one is the beginning of summer."
As we step onto the mountain road step by step, there are fewer and fewer people in front of us.
Chapter 131...Yu Zhi saw the scorching sun setting over the river, dyeing the Yangtze River red for thousands of miles.
Step 162...Yu Zhi saw the summer wind and rain and the violent thunder.
Yu Zhi followed Jian Shu unhurriedly.
Jian Shu also noticed the mysterious young man wearing a mask behind him.
"Is it possible that he is also feeling the sword intention on the sword embryo? With such strength, he must be a famous swordsman. I wonder who he is?"
Yu Zhi didn't notice Jianshu's gaze and continued walking towards the mountain.
At this time, Jianshu shouted: "Brother, are you also comprehending the meaning of the sword?"
Yu Zhi stopped, looked back at Jianshu, and then nodded. "The sword embryo is the road, and it contains the sword's intention. It is really wonderful. Taking this opportunity to experience it should be no less beneficial than observing the birth of a sword that has been around for a hundred years."
"I'm looking at Xiongtai's appearance. He can stroll around like this. This realm is definitely not below mine. May I ask what I call Xiongtai?" Jianshu asked sincerely.
Yu Zhi had already prepared a pseudonym and responded: "I'm Li Zhi, I'm just a casual cultivator."
After saying that, Yu Zhi continued to walk forward.
Seeing that Yu Zhi didn't want to talk more, Jian Shu didn't ask any more questions.
One hundred and eighty steps in spring and summer.
After Yu Zhi had walked half a stick of incense, there were fewer and fewer people in front of him.
There are tens of thousands of sword cultivators, but there are only a few hundred people.
Being able to get here has proven the strength of these people. As long as they don't make mistakes, it will not be a problem to complete the remaining mountain trails.
After all, not everyone feels the sword intent brought about by the fourth level of reincarnation like Yu Zhi and Jian Shu.
The longer it takes to comprehend, the greater the risk of falling off the mountain road.
Those who wanted to go up the mountain did so with great energy and couldn't wait to finish the trail.
These reincarnations of the Four Seasons Sword Intent were ignored by them.
Step 207... The autumn wind blows away the dead leaves.
Yu Zhi met Xiao Jun'er, the princess of Qingcheng.
When Xiao Jun'er saw Yu Zhi, she was furious and sneered: "I didn't expect that a pariah like you could come here."
Yu Zhi looked at Xiao Jun'er, confused.
With Xiao Jun'er's strength, it would never be possible for him to get here so easily.
Immediately, he looked at Nanny Lin next to Xiao Jun'er. She was holding a small tower in her hand, which exuded a faint black halo.
Yu Zhi understood everything.
It turned out that it was relying on Nanny Lin and the small tower.
Yu Zhi originally didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Jun'er, but Xiao Jun'er continued to sneer: "Why don't you see the bitch who was traveling with you? Could it be that he couldn't bear the sword's power and fell to the foot of the mountain? Don't fall to death." Sorry. This princess will personally seek revenge on you!"
Nanny Lin frowned slightly, but did not stop Xiao Yun'er. She thought that in this mountain road, the other party would not dare to make a big move.
But she misjudged Yu Zhi.
The next moment, Yu Zhi climbed several steps at a time, like a shooting star, and snatched the small tower from Nanny Lin's hand.
Nanny Lin didn't react for a while, and Yu Zhi was too fast.
The small tower instantly fell into Yu Zhi's hands.
The power of the small tower to protect Xiao Jun'er also disappeared.
In an instant, all the sword intent on the Sword Embryo Mountain Road fell on Xiao Yuner.
