Chapter 640: Chapter 650: Taboo
What an unfortunate time to arrive, to run into that effeminate Lu Kuixi again.
Si Huang also seems to be preparing to enter the Gui Xu Secret Realm to comprehend sword techniques, bringing along four Sword Slaves. It must be said, becoming a True Disciple of the sect is indeed impressive.
They enjoy many privileges.
For example, access to the Gui Xu Secret Realm is something even the Outer Sect’s Medicine Mountain Master does not qualify for. Yet Si Huang’s Sword Slaves can enter.
Lu Kuixi is shamelessly pestering Dongxue, striking up conversations with her at every possible moment.
Unfortunately for him, Dongxue maintains her pride; her face as cold as ice, she hardly spares him a glance.
Yet this effeminate man, clueless, continues to pester her.
Dongxue, out of respect for the other’s status and power, does not want to offend him too harshly. Thus, she endures it. From her beautiful face and in her eyes, one can clearly sense a trace of disgust.
She truly detests Lu Kuixi.
At least when talking to Han Sheng, she occasionally cracks a smile. But her interactions with Lu Kuixi are utterly cold and indifferent.
The entrance to the Gui Xu Secret Realm cannot be accessed at any time. It opens only at high noon, when Yin and Yang converge harmoniously, and the Sect Elders open the gateway to the realm.
As for wanting to exit from inside, that’s much easier.
One can leave the realm anytime.
Every time the Gui Xu Secret Realm is opened, it consumes a Spirit Stone, and the responsible Sect Elder expends a great deal of power.
Therefore, although Si Huang and others have arrived early, they can only wait outside for the entrance to open.
Hearing the sound of someone approaching the Gui Xu Secret Realm, Dongxue turns her head and sees a face that is indifferent but handsome.
"Hey, Chu Feng, you’re here to cultivate in the Gui Xu Secret Realm too?"
In an instant, a sweet and joyful smile blooms on Dongxue’s lovely face, like the blossoming of spring flowers.
The ever-persistent Lu Kuixi, who had been beside her, suddenly turns dark and sullen.
One could faintly see his knuckles turning white from clenching his fists too tightly.
Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating.
Lu Kuixi had been stubbornly trying to strike up a conversation with Dongxue, who remained aloof. If Dongxue was like that with every man, Lu Kuixi would have accepted it.
But the moment this insignificant Chu Feng arrives, Dongxue’s pretty face immediately lights up with a happy smile, and she greets Chu Feng warmly. How could Lu Kuixi not be enraged?
The flames of jealousy instantly engulf him.
"Chu Feng, you’re done for." A crazed killing intent flickers in Lu Kuixi’s eyes. He is determined to teach Chu Feng a harsh lesson, to cripple him.
The last time Chu Feng got a pair of treasure shoes, Lu Kuixi thought about forcefully taking them.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng had been cultivating in his Medicine Mountain, never leaving, which gave Lu Kuixi no opportunity.
Chu Feng, ignoring Lu Kuixi’s venomous gaze, does not even bother to look at Lu Kuixi’s ugly face.
Instead, he smiles at Dongxue and says, "Yes, my swordsmanship has always been a weak point. Seeing others consolidating their Sword Souls, I too want to consolidate mine as soon as possible." Chu Feng was not being modest this time; he was speaking the absolute truth.
He plans to first enhance his Heaven and Earth Sword Skill to around the Fifth or Sixth Level, at least to consolidate the sword image first.
As for the Glazed Sword Technique, it would be best to elevate it to the Ninth Level and directly consolidate a Sword Soul.
Additionally, he needs to cultivate a Supporting Sword Technique. As he hasn’t made up his mind yet, he also has not exchanged for it using his Merits at the Treasure Hall.
"Heh, your Heaven and Earth Sword Skill has already comprehended the Third Level, which isn’t low at all. Some True Disciples in the Inner Sect have only comprehended the Fourth Level. The Heaven and Earth Sword Skill is extremely difficult to comprehend. Our miss is just a little short of reaching the Ninth Level..."
Dongxue doesn’t think Chu Feng’s comprehension of swordsmanship is low.
It’s because Chu Feng sets very high standards for himself.
"Dongxue, do not carelessly reveal my secrets!" Si Huang’s icy voice rings out, causing Dongxue to shrink her neck and cutely stick out her tongue.
She gives Chu Feng an apologetic smile and then turns around, patiently waiting, not daring to converse with Chu Feng any further.
At least, he dares not to have an intimate conversation with Chu Feng in front of Si Huang.
"Serves her right!" Lu Kuixi couldn’t wait for Si Huang to intervene.
About an hour later, the entrance to the Gui Xu Secret Realm started to emit bursts of white light.
A Light Gate appeared, where rings of white light could be seen continuously pulsating and circulating.
Gradually, the Light Gate stabilized and ceased to fluctuate.
"We can enter now!"
The indifferent voice of Elder Lun resounded; it must be the Sect Elder who was manipulating things from the shadows speaking.
No matter where Si Huang is, she is always the absolute number one.
No one dared to cut in front of her. Everyone queued up honestly behind her.
"Chu Feng, this must be your first time entering the Gui Xu Secret Realm. Remember, do not use Sword Qi to attack those illusions inside. Otherwise, you could be gravely injured or even killed by your own hand," Dongxue reminded Chu Feng before entering.
She really did care quite a bit about Chu Feng.
"Okay, I’ll remember that! You be careful too!"
Chu Feng nodded, genuinely unaware of this taboo. Lucky for him, Dongxue had warned him.
In fact, when each disciple first enters the Inner Sect, the Sect Elders inform them of some taboos, including the prohibition of using Sword Qi to attack inside the Gui Xu Secret Realm.
Chu Feng’s identity is very special. He has not yet entered the Inner Sect but has obtained the qualification to enter the Gui Xu Secret Realm.
That’s why he was unaware.
"Those in front, hurry up and go in!" Lu Kuixi’s face clouded over again. He immediately became unhappy whenever he saw Dongxue being kind to Chu Feng.
Indeed, those in front had a certain fear of Lu Kuixi.
After all, Lu Kuixi was a highly skilled expert ranked third on the Heavenly List. There weren’t many who dared to challenge him.
While Lu Kuixi urged the people in front to hurry, he himself was not in a rush.
Instead, he stepped aside to let those behind him go first.
After almost everyone had entered, leaving just Chu Feng behind, Lu Kuixi then sternly fixed his gaze on Chu Feng.
"Kid, you’d better pray not to encounter my sword consciousness body in the Gui Xu Secret Realm. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you." After speaking, Lu Kuixi stepped into the Light Gate.
He had waited for most of the day just to say this to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng thought that the other party wanted to stop him from entering.
"Sword consciousness body battle?"
Chu Feng did not quite understand, he had not even heard of it.
After all, the people around him were all Outer Disciples, who simply had no qualification to enter the Gui Xu Secret Realm for cultivation.
Yan Qing indeed had that privilege, but unfortunately, Chu Feng had been so busy lately that he had no time for idle chatter with Yan Qing.
The Light Gate could close at any moment, Chu Feng did not dare to delay and immediately took a step into the Light Gate as well.
Whoosh!
He experienced a blur before his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything in front of him was dark, so dark that he could not even see his own hands.
And he discovered that his feet seemed to be floating in the air.
Or rather, it felt as if his entire body was suspended in mid-air. No matter how he moved, his body remained in place.
Remembering the taboo about not using Sword Qi within the Gui Xu Secret Realm, Chu Feng did not dare to perform Sword Flight inside.
