CHAPTER 537: CHAPTER 320: RETURN TO SWORDMASTER PEAK

"..."

She hesitated to speak.

Originally, he wanted to nod, but when Liang Yu asked him, he felt uncertain. This world’s foreign language might be different from that of his time, and besides, it was said that once an Immortal Monarch traveled across the seas to the outer regions.

"Not quite sure."

"I’ll go ask Senior Sister tonight and see if I can get something out of her. But why is this thing called the biggest secret of the Cultivation World?"

"Even if the content is deciphered, it won’t affect the world today. It’s just for satisfying curiosity."

He shook his head.

But the young girl just smiled slightly. That smile was quite clear in its meaning; she was a smart person, knowing what questions to ask and what not to ask. If Jiang Feng admitted, it would only invite trouble.

In such a situation, a tacit denial would suffice.

The two did not dwell on the topic of "whether they could understand it" but rather continued on Jiang Feng’s earlier topic: "The reason it’s called the biggest secret might still be tied to that Immortal."

"After all, it’s a relic of the Immortal, and it’s said the Immortal went completely mad in the end. Even those strange symbols were clawed into his flesh with his nails. It’s something significant, just thinking about it is terrifying."

"There aren’t many in the Cultivation World who know about this. Most are either experts in the Cultivation World or heads of various countries. I know a bit because my grandfather used to tell me stories when I was young."

"Perhaps, they think these patterns record the Immortal’s legacy, or some remarkable secret. But these things have been long ignored, as no one has been able to crack them for thousands of years."

"If Senior Brother has any clues, going to discuss with the Senior Sister would be the best strategy..."

It must be said that Liang Yu is a very knowledgeable and wise woman.

While other children were still babbling, King Liang’s most beloved daughter had already begun to read a variety of books. During the country’s changes, she was even one of the people involved. After meeting Liu Tangxi, a seed was planted in her heart.

At that time, Liang Yu was proficient in poetry, songs, musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Even seven or eight years old, she was already a famous talent in Country Liang. After coming into contact with Liu Tangxi, she became obsessed with the three-foot Green Blade in her hand, tirelessly studying and training night and day.

Actually, Liang Yu’s family didn’t guide this child’s cultivation too much, as they initially thought not to waste her talents. After all, the Five Thunders Body could master any Daoist skill with ease, but no one expected her to willingly practice swordsmanship.

Moreover, in just three or four years, she achieved small success, not only opening her own Sword Dao but also advancing rapidly in her cultivation realm. She was barely an adult when she was already heading towards the Core Formation Stage.

A fun fact.

Liang Yu did not cultivate seriously. Her energy was almost entirely devoted to her family and Sword Dao; cultivation to her was merely an accessory.

As Liu Tangxi put it, this little princess in front of him had talents on par with Cen Yueyue, and the two had the qualifications to sit at the same table. Cen Yueyue reached mid-grade Core Formation at eighteen, and Liang Yu, at sixteen, was at Foundation Establishment Peak. At a glance, this princess seemed to be at a disadvantage.

But.

Sixteen-year-old Cen Yueyue was definitely no match for Liang Yu.

Not only could Liu Tangxi assert this confidently, but Jiang Feng could also pledge it with certainty. What amazed him most was that this little princess was a rare all-rounder, excelling in every aspect.

As they spoke, the two had already reached their doorstep.

Once desolate, Swordmaster Peak had now become bustling. The Mountain Gate had been closed for nearly fifty years, and during this period, apart from disciples living halfway up the mountain occasionally coming to clean up, there was hardly any sign of people.

Now, just walking side by side they could see the vitality facing the Mountain Gate. There was Miss Lin practicing swordsmanship, Lu Luo being pushed around for a stroll by Su Yi, and Bai Yu engaging in close-quarters combat using sword moves with Miss Lin.

When the sword bodies crossed and touched, fingers slightly exerting pressure on the hilt, the wrist shaking lightly, the Soft Sword seemed to slither like a dragon along the arm, as the two girls exchanged blows joyfully. But they all had one thing in common.

They did not use any Spiritual Energy.

Their focus was solely on honing skills, and this scene made the little princess’s eyes smile like crescents, looking as happy as could be.

"You seem to really like the environment of the Mountain Gate, but living on the mountain in the future might be a bit of a stretch. Senior Brother’s cooking skills can’t compare to those famous chefs in the Imperial City."

"What is Senior Brother saying? Being able to enter this Mountain Gate is a wish for many cultivators, and I will definitely cultivate diligently in the future..."

For Liang Yu, successfully joining Swordmaster Peak was not just about fulfilling a wish and doing what she loved; it was also about breaking free from the Royal Family.

It wasn’t that the King treated her poorly, but in the Royal Family, she had to suppress many of her instincts. Thought and behavior had to prioritize the family, which for a cultivator could only be described as a catastrophic disaster.

A cultivator losing freedom—how can one even call that cultivation?

This time, she could join Swordmaster Peak, holding onto Liu Tangxi’s connection. It was indeed her willingness, but there was also her family’s push behind it. Liang Yu staying at home was simply not fitting.
