The Canyon Continent, the Heavenly Chasm.
If Elder Xuan Yuan were present, he would be shocked to find that someone had ventured into a place no one dared to step foot in before.
And this person was Li Xuan.
"Little Brush, are you sure there's a fortuitous encounter inside?"
Li Xuan naturally felt the danger of this place. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao Brush insisting there was a great opportunity here, Li Xuan would have chosen to leave. Even so, Li Xuan asked with lingering unease.
Li Xuan clearly remembered that during his tribulation, it was because the Heavenly Dao Brush told him to stop resisting that he was then sent into this Canyon Continent. The Heavenly Dao Brush, however, had not told Li Xuan that after arriving, his memory would become muddled, leading to amnesia.
Moreover, the moment he entered this place, Li Xuan had directly used force to break through the seal. It could be said that besides Li Xuan, no one else on the Canyon Continent could enter it.
"Little Master, although this place is dangerous, with your strength, what is there to fear? Moreover, although this place looks somewhat perilous, it is actually a great blessed land. If it weren't for that, why would I let Little Master give up resisting the heavenly tribulation and be sent... teleported here." The Heavenly Dao Brush paused and said.
Li Xuan: "..."
"This is..." Soon, Li Xuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked ahead with a hint of shock.
A solitary peak stood tall, and on its summit, an astonishing number of spirit swords were embedded.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, many spirit swords had lost their spiritual essence and appeared rusted. Yet, above this peak, an incomparably intense aura of killing intent soared into the clouds.
Li Xuan could sense that this was sword intent.
Even more bizarrely, a spiritual formation existed in the sky. Even with the sharpness of the sword energy, not a trace could leak out.
"The person who could display such a technique must be very powerful," Li Xuan mused, then with a thought, he said, "Little Brush, since you brought me here, you must know the origin of this place."
"This place is called the Sword Burial Mountain. It was built by a peerless sword cultivator before their demise. These spirit swords can be said to be all that cultivator collected. This place has existed since the Canyon Continent separated from the True Martial Continent," the Heavenly Dao Brush replied.
"Another point is that the Canyon Continent's inability to return to the True Martial Continent is also partly due to that sword cultivator."
Li Xuan raised an eyebrow at this. It seemed that sword cultivator's strength was extraordinary.
And for someone to be called a peerless sword cultivator by the Heavenly Dao Brush, their strength could be imagined. After all, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Brush, only those like Yi Qin, who were once imprisoned in the Zhen Prison, were referred to as powerhouses.
"Little Brush, did you bring me here for these spirit swords?" Li Xuan nodded slightly and then asked.
That peerless sword cultivator had clearly passed away long ago, and Li Xuan had only seen these spirit swords covering the mountain after entering. The so-called fortuitous encounter likely had no other existence.
"Little Master, when did your vision become so limited? Although these spirit swords are valuable, they are like sesame seeds compared to a watermelon when it comes to inheritance. That peerless sword cultivator, though deceased, does not mean they left no inheritance," the Heavenly Dao Brush said with a sense of disappointment.
Li Xuan chuckled sheepishly, a flicker of eagerness in his eyes.
An inheritance, and from a peerless sword cultivator at that. If he could obtain it, it would undoubtedly be a great help on Li Xuan's path of the sword.
Speaking of which, Li Xuan had truly not encountered many sword cultivator inheritances along the way. Although he walked the path of the sword, and occasionally his master left some things in the layers of the Zhen Prison, apart from Senior Yi Qin at the beginning, there had been no one else to guide him.
Relying on self-exploration, while leading to deeper understanding, would undoubtedly be greatly improved with guidance from a predecessor.
"Little Brush, what should I do?" Li Xuan took a deep breath and asked.
"Little Master, this depends on whether you can make that sword cultivator appear," the Heavenly Dao Brush said slowly.
Li Xuan's heart stirred, and his gaze immediately turned to the peak before him.
The next moment, Li Xuan flew directly into the air and stopped before the peak.
"Junior Li Xuan, hopes to receive Senior's inheritance."
As the words echoed, there was still no movement from the surroundings. Ten breaths passed, and it remained the same. Seeing this, Li Xuan gave a wry smile and shook his head.
It seemed he still couldn't earn the recognition of that peerless sword cultivator.
Just as Li Xuan turned to leave, the Heavenly Dao Brush spoke again.
"You have been gone for so many years, I doubt you can hold on much longer. He is the man of destiny. Do you truly wish to miss this opportunity?"
Hum.
As the Heavenly Dao Brush finished speaking, a humming sound suddenly rang out. Then, a figure slowly materialized. He looked at Li Xuan, pondered for a moment, and then said.
"Man of destiny, are you willing to fulfill My lingering wish?"
