Chapter 367: Sword Observation Peak
“How about I go with you all?”
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then spoke. He was unfamiliar with this Nine Dragons Mountain Range. If he could truly find Nine Sun Grass, then cultivation at Sword Observation Peak could be set aside for a while.
This kind of opportunity was rare.
Feng Ting fell silent upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, but the old man beside her spoke up: “No need. We don’t know each other. It’s better if we each search on our own.”
“That’s right. Who are you? Why should we let you come with us?” Someone from Xiao Wei’s group also shouted out, displeased.
Lin Feng’s eyes turned, a cold chill radiating from them. Those who had spoken felt their gazes freeze, their entire bodies as if frozen stiff. So cold. They immediately shut their mouths.
“In that case, I’ll take my leave.” Lin Feng shook his head slightly at the young girl. If she had agreed to go with him, it would have been a good thing for her. At least, with him around, Feng Ting wouldn’t be schemed against.
Lin Feng stepped forward. Watching his back, Feng Ting’s eyes flickered. Such a straightforward person was rare. Usually, who would directly ask if she knew where to find Nine Sun Grass and then request to go with her? Yet Lin Feng’s gaze was so clear and candid.
Lin Feng continued onward, suddenly quickening his pace as he dashed deep into the mountain range.
“Roar…”
A demon wolf, sensing an intruder in its territory, let out a low growl and charged at Lin Feng. But a flash of blade light passed by, and the demon wolf’s body was cleaved to the ground, becoming a corpse. Lin Feng’s figure vanished directly from the area.
Not just the demon wolf, many other demon beasts came to block Lin Feng’s path, but none could slow his steps for even a moment. With a casual slash, Lin Feng killed them all, incredibly fierce.
After some time, Lin Feng emerged from a dense forest and stopped. Before his eyes stood nine peaks, soaring into the clouds, lined up side by side like pillars holding up the sky.
What shocked Lin Feng even more was that these nine peaks were shaped like swords—real swords. Their tips pointed at the heavens, as if trying to pierce through the sky itself.
“Sword Peaks. The mountain range in front of those nine Sword Peaks must be Sword Observation Peak.”
Lin Feng’s gaze froze for a moment, then flickered wildly as he headed toward the peak opposite the nine Sword Peaks. That peak had the best angle for viewing the nine Sword Peaks, hence its name: Sword Observation Peak.
No wonder Wen Aoxue had said Lin Feng would naturally know once he traveled a hundred miles into the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. Indeed, seeing such towering nine peaks, who wouldn’t realize that the vast peak opposite was Sword Observation Peak?
But this natural scenery was truly miraculous—shaping nine peaks into swords, sky-piercing swords, domineering, majestic, and unrivaled.
Finally, Lin Feng arrived at the foot of Sword Observation Peak. Standing on a steep boulder, he quietly gazed at the nine Sword Peaks ahead. He had to look up to see their tips, to see the complete swords.
“So imposing.”
Lin Feng raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the peaks of the nine Sword Peaks. Before him now were nine giant swords—unrivaled, heaven-shattering and earth-destroying giant swords, domineering, heaven-defying.
“No. The meaning of dominance is not the main sword intent in my sword. Sword Observation Peak can indeed help one comprehend the dominance of the sword, but it may not suit me. I cannot let my heart’s sword be influenced.”
Lin Feng’s heart trembled slightly, and his eyes gradually regained clarity. If a novice sword cultivator came here to comprehend the sword, they could indiscriminately absorb the sword intent contained within, then imitate and grow stronger. But for Lin Feng, his sword was like a life of its own. Sword intent was like life itself. Purely absorbing any mixed sword intent wouldn’t necessarily lead to progress; it might instead damage his sword path.
What Lin Feng needed was a clear mind, to examine these nine Sword Peaks from an observer’s perspective, borrowing their momentum to comprehend the sword in his own heart.
Not far from Lin Feng at the foot of Sword Observation Peak, a figure was swinging his sword over and over again. As time passed, the sword grew stronger, imbued with a domineering intent, as if towering to the heavens, looking down on all lesser peaks.
“Just as I thought. Sword Observation Peak isn’t simply about observing swords to improve.”
Lin Feng murmured. Without a doubt, the sword in that figure’s hand was growing more powerful, the domineering sword intent within it becoming fiercer. Clearly, this sword cultivator had comprehended some sword principles by observing Sword Observation Peak, but his sword intent carried the peak’s grand and imposing aura.
But did he truly understand the sword?
Comprehending another’s sword intent might allow you to excel in the short term, but what you gained would ultimately be superficial. True sword cultivators don’t seek to comprehend sword intent from elsewhere. They must integrate the sword intent they gain from the outside into themselves, extract its essence, then condense their own sword and comprehend their own sword intent. Only then does it have meaning.
“Let me look from a different angle. Perhaps the feeling will be different.”
Lin Feng muttered to himself, then his body swiftly moved, climbing higher and higher up the Sword Observation Peak mountain range. Occasionally, he would turn his head to glance at the Sword Peaks.
The higher he went, the more Lin Feng realized the grandeur and dominance of the Sword Peaks. It felt as if no matter where you fled, you couldn’t escape the scope and restraint of the sword.
Just a glance at the nine Sword Peaks not far away made Lin Feng feel that the sword was right beside him.
Climbing higher, Lin Feng’s body rose further. In his eyes, the nine Sword Peaks grew smaller and smaller, though they still contained immensely powerful sword intent.
When Lin Feng finally set foot on the summit of Sword Observation Peak, his heart jolted violently. Now, he stood higher than all nine Sword Peaks. Could he look down upon these heavenly swords?
“So formidable. It feels like they’re about to thrust toward me.”
Lin Feng murmured. The nine sharp swords all seemed to point at him, ready to pierce him through.
“And also, human power can surpass everything. No matter how incredible something is, it will eventually be surpassed.” Lin Feng spoke again, looking down at the nine Sword Peaks from above.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Lin Feng had looked up, feeling the Sword Peaks were unrivaled and lofty.
But standing at the summit, he was filled with passionate boldness, swallowing the world with his spirit. The nine mountain ranges became mere ornaments.
Everyone who came to Sword Observation Peak might have different insights, elevating their sword path. Lin Feng’s insight was from looking up to looking down.
All sword cultivators believed in their own swords, constantly improving themselves and surpassing their limits. As long as you had the courage to break the sky, you could do it—rising above everyone else.
Lin Feng didn’t stay long at the summit of Sword Observation Peak. He soon descended back down the mountain, repeating this process, viewing the nine Sword Peaks from completely different angles.
He did this repeatedly, spending a full three days on Sword Observation Peak. During these three days, he traversed every corner of the peak, viewing the nine Sword Peaks from every possible angle.
Finally, at sunrise on the fourth day, Lin Feng came to the summit of Sword Observation Peak once more, sat cross-legged, and slowly settled down.
Quiet. Sitting at the summit of Sword Observation Peak, Lin Feng closed his eyes, making no sound, not moving at all. At the peak of the mountain, only the occasional breeze blew past, stirring Lin Feng’s long hair and robes.
He sat like this for another three days.
Lin Feng spent three days viewing the Sword Peaks from different angles, then sat in meditation at the summit of Sword Observation Peak for three days.
Until the seventh day, a pale light appeared in the sky. The morning sun rose, and a fiery orb in the distance slowly ascended from below the horizon.
The vibrant rays of light shone upon Lin Feng, warm and pleasant.
“In the past, I observed the sunrise and sunset and comprehended three sword techniques: the Dawn Sword, the Radiant Sword, and the Dusk Sword.”
Lin Feng murmured in his heart. “Now that my cultivation has greatly advanced and I’ve cultivated the Sun Technique, the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture, aside from the Radiant Sword evolving into the Great Radiant Sword, the Dawn Sword and the Dusk Sword have not changed.”
“The Dawn Sword, the Blazing Sun Sword, and the Dusk Sword should be one, forming a perfect set of techniques.”
A voice escaped his lips. In Lin Feng’s eyes, an extremely sharp sword intent bloomed, and his body began to move.
ps: So sleepy, but I insisted on finishing this chapter. Still owe two chapters. I’ll remember. Flowers, I still have to ask for them. Really not giving enough support.
