Chapter 3
: The Great Dao Embraces Water
Although the movement was very small, Lu Jianghe still caught a glimpse of it.
Was this already the beginning of the problem?
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.
However, this also shows that Han Li is indeed more cautious than ordinary people, which can almost be said to be his nature.
In the context of the Sword Qi Great Wall, this alertness is often more important than one's natural talent.
The fact that this unassuming, dark-skinned young man is destined to embark on the path of cultivation and continue on it is no accident or mere luck.
Lu Jianghe asked calmly, "How far is it from here to the Seven Mysteries Sect?"
Zhang Tie shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know, but we've been in the carriage for four or five days now."
The vehicle stopped as the group was talking.
Hearing the greeting, I knew that someone else was going to participate in the Seven Mysteries Sect's assessment.
A boy wearing a blue cloth shirt stepped onto the vehicle.
He had barely peeked in halfway when he waved his hand vigorously in front of his nose, exclaiming with disgust, "Why does it smell so bad?"
His gaze swept across the carriage, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he let out a snort.
"No wonder, it turned out to be a bus full of beggars."
Without saying a word, he kicked Li Feiyu's leg off the carriage floor.
"Where did all these lousy, space-consuming slobs come from!"
Li Feiyu was already annoyed from the bumpy journey, and now her temper flared up even more.
He sat up, pointed at the boy in blue, and cursed, "Have you eaten shit? Your mouth stinks!"
The blue-clad youth arrogantly raised his chin, his gaze sweeping contemptuously over Li Feiyu's patched and coarse clothes. He sneered, "You? You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really think you're qualified to enter the Seven Mysteries Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Li Feiyu could no longer hold back.
"Say that again, you brat!"
The boy in blue said with a disdainful look, "What, want to fight? Come on over!"
Seeing that the two were really about to fight, Zhang Tie was so anxious that he kept scratching his head, wondering how to step forward and stop them.
Han Li stood to the side, a hint of panic clearly on his face, his body tense.
Lu Jianghe remained calm and composed.
Provoked like this, Li Feiyu shouted angrily, "You said it yourself!"
He threw a straight punch right at the opponent's face.
Unfortunately, the boy in blue was quite agile and reacted very quickly.
He deftly dodged Li Feiyu's hasty punch with a sidestep, simultaneously grabbing her wrist, turning and twisting it in the process.
The latter instantly lost his balance, and then felt a strong force throw him away, causing him to crash heavily into the carriage, making him groan in pain.
The boy in blue, seizing the advantage, pressed down hard on Li Feiyu's chest, pinning him down.
Li Feiyu was both shocked and furious. In desperation, she grabbed the other person's leg tightly with both hands and tried to pry it off.
Seeing that a fight had already broken out, Zhang Tie naturally knew who to help.
She pounced on him, grabbed the blue-clad boy tightly around the waist, and pushed him backward with all her might.
But the boy in blue seemed to have some training; his lower body was quite stable.
Although Zhang Tie was quite strong, he was clumsy. When his opponent bent his knee and pushed him, he was in pain and released his grip, then was punched to the ground.
Han Li watched with a pounding heart, his expression showing slight hesitation and struggle, but he still gritted his teeth and rushed over to join the melee.
This was child's play in Lu Jianghe's eyes, not even as good as playing house. Unexpectedly, even with the combined efforts of Han Li and the other two, they were still at a disadvantage.
Seeing that the young man in blue was easily suppressing the three, Lu Jianghe finally made his move.
He stood up casually and took a step forward.
The boy in blue was feeling smug when he suddenly felt a tight grip on his neck as a hand grabbed his throat!
Lu Jianghe exerted a slight force with his arm, and the opponent's feet were lifted off the ground.
"Uh—ho ho!"
The boy in blue kicked futilely in the air, his face instantly turning bright red, the fear of suffocation overwhelming his previous arrogance.
Han Li, Zhang Tie, and Li Feiyu were all dumbfounded when they saw it.
Zhang Tie caught his breath and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Lu... Lu Jianghe, I never knew you were this amazing!"
Lu Jianghe watched as the blue-clad youth's face gradually turned from bright red to bluish-purple, and his struggles weakened, before finally letting go.
He fell to the ground, like a lump of mud, clutching his neck and coughing violently.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Calm down! We're almost at the Seven Mysteries Sect today!"
The driver's voice could be heard from outside.
Li Feiyu rubbed his chest and spat out angrily.
Zhang Tie quickly got up and dusted himself off.
Han Li sat quietly to the side, his gaze falling on Lu Jianghe's calm eyes, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him, yet he didn't know how to describe it.
For Lu Jianghe, participating in the Seven Mysteries Sect's assessment was, in fact, meaningless.
Based on preliminary assessment, this world is likely the human realm.
However, one matter remains unresolved and must be confirmed in person.
Does the legendary "little green bottle" actually exist?
Lu Jianghe must provide evidence for this.
The world is vast and full of strange and wonderful things.
The possibility that the other world is not this world does not exist.
He couldn't be sure if it was the one he remembered.
After all, there are heavens beyond heavens and realms beyond realms. The myriad heavens and realms are so numerous, who can presume to make definitive judgments?
Only by witnessing Han Li embark on the path of cultivation can one's heart truly find peace.
As for whether or not to steal that little green bottle.
Lu Jianghe had already made his decision.
The little green bottle is the starting point of Han Li's path to enlightenment. The moment it appeared in the world, it formed a closed loop of cause and effect that runs through his past and present lives.
Unless he is now at the Ascension Realm, he wouldn't even consider it.
As for the difference in combat strength between the Sword Comes and the Mortal World.
Lu Jianghe felt that the former was at least a step above the latter.
If a celestial realm truly exists.
Top-tier combatants like the Great Luo Immortal, or various so-called "Dao Ancestors," can also be considered as "Fourteen Realms" in a certain sense.
They are bound by the rules of Heaven; if they act too much or too forcefully, they will be assimilated by Heaven and lose their sense of self.
This makes them more like "limited fourteen realms" or "pseudo-fourteen realms," with their power ceiling and freedom far inferior to the top beings in the world of Sword Comes.
They are not as good as the three founders of the sects in Sword Comes.
Assimilation with heaven and earth can also be likened to "the Way of Heaven".
Moreover, many cultivators at the fourteenth realm can travel back and forth through the river of time.
more than this.
Kill the future with the present.
Use the sword of the future to cut through the present.
In the mortal world, this would be considered a heaven-defying causal relationship, and it's basically impossible to do.
Since you know that you can cultivate yourself.
Without a doubt, Lu Jianghe would definitely follow the cultivation system he was already familiar with.
Moreover, apart from his dantian and dantian, he now has thirty-six acupoints open in his body.
In battles against opponents of the same level, the total amount of spiritual energy that can be contained within their bodies may exceed that of ordinary cultivators in this realm by several times or even dozens of times.
The only thing he needed to carefully weigh was the time it would take.
He has already planned out his options.
His natal flying sword path is close to water, so he must find a way to go to the Chaotic Star Sea.
Putting aside other factors, the cultivators of the Sword Qi Great Wall may not be skilled in unorthodox methods.
But what he excels at most is killing demons.
