The sixteen words on the stone door were more like a warning than a reminder.
“Take one step forward, and you will die and your Tao will disappear; take one step back, and there is still a way to live. But do I have a way back?”
Ye Qiu has no way to retreat.
When he woke up, there was only one way, and that was to move forward. If he retreated at this time, then there was only one result facing him – waiting to die!
Ye Qiu has never been a person who sits and waits for death, so it is impossible to go back the same way.
He didn’t think much, grabbed the copper ring on the stone door, and knocked directly.
Dang dang dang!
“Boom——”
The stone door slowly opened, and a dusty musty smell came over, making Ye Qiu cough several times.
Inside was a passageway.
Ye Qiu was very vigilant. He took a look with the Heaven’s Eye and, after confirming that there was no danger, he stepped into the passageway.
Then, he walked straight inside along the passageway. After walking about thirty meters, a stone wall blocked the passageway.
The stone wall was square, three meters high and three meters wide. In the very middle, a grass was engraved.
Other than that, there was nothing else, not even a single word.
Ye Qiu stared at the grass on the stone wall and took a look. He found that this grass was very ordinary and there was nothing special about it at all.
But the more this was the case, the more he felt puzzled.
“Why engrave a grass here? What is the intention?”
Ye Qiu thought for a long time but still couldn’t figure it out. Then he began to look for an exit around the stone wall.
It took several minutes, and the result was a great disappointment.
There was simply no exit.
Subsequently, Ye Qiu’s eyes were again fixed on the grass on the stone wall.
He believed that that super expert absolutely couldn’t have engraved a grass on the stone wall for no reason.
Ye Qiu’s eyes tightly stared at that grass. He looked at it for quite a while but didn’t see anything special because this grass was really too ordinary.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to take back his gaze, he suddenly found that this grass seemed to have turned into a sword.
“Huh?”
Ye Qiu let out a surprised huh and took a closer look. The grass was still just grass and there was no change.
“Could it be that I was seeing things?”
Ye Qiu continued to stare at that grass. Gradually he found that the grass had turned into a sword again. The thin leaves were releasing wisps of sharp sword qi.
But when Ye Qiu took back his gaze, he found that the grass on the stone wall didn’t move at all and there was no change.
“What on earth is going on?”
“Is it that I had an illusion or is there a mystery hidden in that grass?”
Ye Qiu simply sat cross-legged and stared fixedly at the grass on the stone wall without moving.
Before long, the scene that had appeared before appeared again.
This time, he saw it more clearly.
The grass turned into a sword and the leaves released wisps of sword qi.
Not only that, gradually, the sword moved as if someone was holding it and dancing it.
This time, Ye Qiu didn’t take back his gaze. He wanted to see exactly what was going on.
Soon, he became completely immersed in it and found that the speed at which the sword moved was getting faster and faster.
Where the sharpness pointed, the sharpness was fully revealed giving people a momentum of rather breaking than bending and being invincible.
But after a while, the complicated sword moves gradually became simpler, and each sword move gave people a feeling of being indestructible.
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but start to imitate these sword moves.
Instantly, he realized that this was an extremely terrifying sword move, full of murderous aura.
Soon, Ye Qiu’s forehead was covered with sweat and his body began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu saw that all the sword moves were combined into one move and stabbed towards his heart.
Ye Qiu immediately raised his fist and blasted out. However, the sword energy was too sharp and directly penetrated his fist and penetrated into his heart.
“Pfft——”
Ye Qiu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately woke up.
He looked down and found that there was a bloody hole in his fist, bleeding out, which was shocking.
Strangely, the heart was fine.
“That was close. I almost went berserk just now.” Ye Qiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.
Then, he quickly drew a hemostatic talisman and cured the injury on his hand.
After doing all this, Ye Qiu’s gaze fell on the stone wall again.
“I finally understand why that super expert left sixteen characters on the stone door.”
Although this grass seems ordinary, it contains extremely terrifying sword intent. If you are a little careless when imitating it, you will either go berserk at the least, or die and disappear at the worst.”
“I don’t know who that super expert is exactly?”
“To be able to integrate one’s sword intent into a grass, and after so many years, the sword energy still lingers. It can be seen that he must be an all-powerful powerhouse.”
“If I can learn his sword moves, my strength will surely increase greatly. In the future, when facing enemies, I will also have one more trump card.”
Ye Qiu gathers his mind, stared intently at the grass on the stone wall, and immersed himself again.
Sure enough, only two seconds later, he saw the grass turn into a sword again and move in front of his eyes.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes widened, for fear of missing any details. He memorized every move by heart.”
The longer he observed and the more he remembered, the more he could feel the extraordinariness of the sword moves.”
At first, the sword moves were complicated, and then they became simple. Finally, all the sword moves were combined into one sword.”
And this sword has the momentum of splitting the heaven and earth.”
Ye Qiu watched and imitated with his fingers pointed like a sword, over and over again.”
Every time he practiced until the end, Ye Qiu couldn’t combine all the sword moves into one move. No matter what he did, he always failed.”
Ye Qiu stopped and thought hard.”
“Where exactly is the problem?”
“Why can’t I combine the sword moves into one?”
“Is my practice method wrong, or did I remember the sword moves wrong?”
Just when Ye Qiu was puzzled, a strange picture appeared in his mind.
I saw a tall and magnificent figure, with his back to the crowd, slashing out a sword.
As soon as the sword came out, the heaven and earth trembled.
The dazzling sword light seemed to penetrate the stars above the nine heavens.
The next moment, a magnificent voice echoed between the heaven and the earth: “The sword is sharp! Holding a long sword, one should move forward bravely. If the gods block, kill the gods. If the Buddhas block, kill the Buddhas. As long as there is courage in the heart, even a blade of grass can cut the sun, moon and stars…”
Boom!
Ye Qiu’s heart trembled.
He finally understood why he had failed so many times in practice. The reason was that he was too cautious and careful, and instead became a little hesitant and lacked courage.
After understanding this point, Ye Qiu relaxed his mind and practiced the sword moves again.
It didn’t take long before the momentum on his body immediately changed, like an invincible sword, moving forward bravely.
This time, Ye Qiu was practicing the sword moves. When he practiced to the end he successfully combined all the sword moves into one.
It was not until this moment that Ye Qiu clearly felt the power of this sword.
“Whoosh!”
The sword energy burst out from Ye Qiu’s fingertips and hit the stone wall. With a “boom”, the stone wall shattered on the spot.
