Chapter 486 A Flax Rush Cushion
The Sword Master spoke highly of the mysterious man who had left the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship.
After expressing his admiration, Ding Hao started to carefully look at the first sword pattern. Just glancing at it, however, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy. The picture that seemed very simple suddenly became very complex, as if it contained endless meaning. At first glance, Ding Hao felt that the lines were smooth and clear, but when he tried to look closely at the movements of the swordswoman, the girl in the picture moved, and every line of the girl was blurry as if she were a flower in the mist…
The hundreds of small words beside it also became distorted and could only be seen clearly in a flash.
“How is this possible?” Ding Hao was amazed.
His Divine Senses realm had already reached A World inside the Body, the fifth level of the Mind Essential. Strictly speaking, his Divine Senses had been as powerful as a Martial Royal’s. Such condensed and pure Mind Senses still could not help him see the picture clearly, which was a bit shocking.
“The issue is not your Divine Senses and mentality, but that you don’t have enough understanding of kendo…” the Sword Master said thoughtfully, realizing the crux of the problem.
After a few moments of silence, the Sword Master suggested, “How about this? First you learn the hundreds of sets of sky-level swordsmanship on the first floor of the Sword Tower, and then learn the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship. Maybe it’ll work then. After all, it is very likely that more than 100 combat skills were left by this person. I think his purpose of leaving these kendo combat skills was to help later people learn his sword skill…”
Ding Hao thought for a moment and then nodded.
That was right. Since 24 Moves of Swordsmanship was said to have contained all the sword-style changes in the world, it must have included the essence of more than 100 kendo combat skills as well. He should first lay the foundation and master as many kendo combat skills as possible. Only then he could understand those 24 Moves of Swordsmanship!
His foundation was a little too weak!
Ding Hao couldn’t help sighing.
However, he knew very well that he could not become the true god of kendo in the end by adhering to the predecessors’ conclusions. His ultimate goal was to continue to condense the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship into his Seven Black Cut. Only sticking to his own path would lead him to be a master.
Thinking of that, he stopped looking at those mystery sword movements and went upstairs to the third floor of the Sword Tower.
The room on the third floor was about the same size as that on the second floor. It was an empty hall.
The walls were devoid of pictures, white and smooth, and the room had no stone tools such as stone tables and chairs. The entire hall was empty without anything eye-catching, except for a worn rush cushion in the most central position.
It was a rather plain rush cushion. Though it had no dust, its surfaces, probably made of sackcloth, had been worn and ragged, and the light-gray cotton wool inside could be seen. Ding Hao had carefully observed that the material of the rush cushion was definitely the most common linen. If it was not placed in the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, a place with inscriptions, it would have been ashes thousands of years ago.
But Ding Hao didn’t ignore this rush cushion.
Because it was quite abnormal for a rush cushion in such a forbidden place like the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, not to mention that this rush cushion was on the top floor of the Sword Tower. From the previous experience, the third floor should house the most precious thing. Was this rush cushion the most valuable treasure in the entire Sword Tower?
Ding Hao had to look at it carefully.
It could vaguely be seen that this rush cushion had been used for many years, and it had two hollows, which were exactly the shape of a man’s butt. Ding Hao can’t help showing a smile. That was definitely left by its owner.
Ding Hao took another close look at the hall on the third floor and found nothing.
He went to the top of the building.
Standing in front of the stone lamp on the top of the building, under the faint light, looking down, almost all the scenes in the Seventh Heaven could be seen clearly, of course, as well as the nearby Eight Forbidden Lands. And he found those spacious buildings had no visitors, even the Sky Holding Ancient Villa and White Jade Courtyard…
“Well? That is…”
Ding Hao suddenly froze.
He suddenly noticed that in addition to the Sky Holding Ancient Villa and White Jade Courtyard, the stone lamp of another quiet palace of the Eight Forbidden Lands was lit up, releasing a faint flame. It was extremely prominent in the quiet night sky.
Another forbidden land was successfully reclaimed.
It meant that another peerless genius was born.
At the opening time of the Sage Battlefield, the number of geniuses emerged in a big blowout. In the past thousands of years, it had never been like this time that three forbidden-level villas were successfully reclaimed in less than three months. There was still more than three months before the Sage Battlefield rejected the foreigners. No one knew if there would be a new peerless genius.
Was an era of flowers blooming coming?
The arrival of the Golden Age was always accompanied by bones and blood. Was this a sign of the coming of troubled times?
According to the history of Land of Infinity that Ding Hao learned in a short period of time, every time the jihad of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan broke out, such a prosperous world would appear. A large number of shocking talented warriors would be born in both the Human and Demon clans. They would progress rapidly and be extremely powerful and would shine like the sun, and their competitions would eventually promote the crazy evolution in the kung fu of the two races.
Was a new world war brewing again?
Thoughts fluttering, Ding Hao slowly retracted his gaze and turned back to the third floor.
Now a very weird question was bothering him—when he entered the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, why did he have a bloodline feeling? It seemed that something very cordial was calling him. Besides, the powerful restriction there did not stop him at all. On the contrary, Pan Yixin just took one step and was instantly blown back and passed out. Was this Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower really just waiting for him?
“What is the connection with me here? Now let’s talk,” Ding Hao asked the two old monsters softly.
Before Ding Hao entered the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower, the Sword Master and the Saber Master said that they had never expected that there was such a place in the world and assured Ding Hao that the place was absolutely safe, so both of them should know something.
The Sword Master laughed aloud and said, “I can assure you because I felt a little familiar aura here. If I’m right, the person who built the Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower should also be a man of Saintly Being of Saber and Sword. The reason that no one could successfully reclaim this forbidden area he left thousands of years ago is that only a man of Saintly Being of Saber and Sword can enter it…”
Another Saintly Being of Saber and Sword?
Ding Hao felt a little shocked and immediately understood.
No wonder that he felt a sense of blood connection in the vagueness at that time. If that was the case, it would make sense. A Saintly Being of Saber and Sword was extremely rare and could be called eternal and unique. The men with that kind of constitution would feel connected because they had the same blood in their bodies.
Meanwhile, the sword shape and the saber shape of those two white jade buildings were indeed similar to Saintly Being of Saber and Sword.
But why was there no evidence at the end of those pictures of the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship on the second floor of the Sword Tower that he was a Saintly Being of Saber and Sword? He just recorded that he became unstoppable in the continent just with a three-foot sword, but not mention any information about the saber technique. Did the man not practice saber techniques during his entire life?
“I should go to the Saber Tower and have a look.”
Ding Hao thought for a moment, then got up and followed the other exit on the third floor of the Sword Tower to the connected staircase, and stepped into the Saber Tower less than four or five meters away.
The area of the third floor of the Saber Tower was almost the same as that of the Sword Tower, and it was also empty. The center of the hall also had an ordinary linen rush cushion. They were made of the same material, but this one was tidy and it had no holes. Just its edges had been roughened!
Apart from that, the walls were smooth, devoid of writing or drawings.
Ding Hao observed the room closely and could not find any clue.
He walked down the stairs to the second floor of the Saber Tower.
Zhang Fan was not on the second floor.
The layout of the second floor was still the same as that of the Sword Tower. With bedrooms and training rooms, some stone chairs, beds, and other daily utensils in it, it should be the living area. On the walls were a large number of notes and inspirations about saber technique cultivation.
Ding Hao looked closely, and he soon discovered that, like the sword skills in the other building, many of them were seemingly impossible ideas and some practical results. The only difference was that these writings were not messy. Instead, they were classified and recorded in different areas neatly. Each of those thoughts was very clear and organized and even had some summaries and comments…
Ding Hao quickly found that there was a special note on the east wall of the lobby, which was different from other cultivation experiences.
24 Moves of the Saber Technique!
As expected, it was the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique!
There were 24 pictures and notes about the saber technique. Each of those pictures had a person with a saber and each of those notes had a hundred or more small words. Unlike the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship, the person who was waving the saber was also lifelike, but the face was vague, and it was hard to know whether it was a man or a woman. There were no obvious signs of gender as a long shirt was depicted. 24 figures were wearing the same clothes. Compared with them, each of the 24 swordswomen in the patterns was dressed in a different dress and long skirt, which were extremely beautiful, just like flying fairies.
At the end of those pictures, there were also some small words—
“I had a bet with him, so we both hid here. I’ve learned all the saber techniques, and created the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique. I am not weaker than him… The biggest regret in my life is not that I cannot be with him, but that the blood in my body is not perfect. If our two kinds of blood can be combined into one, I wonder if it can achieve eternal immortality and break the barrier of God…”
