With the rapid sound of horse hooves, after two and a half hours of driving, Qin Feng and his party finally saw the ethereal peaks where the Myriad Sword Sect was located.
At first glance, the peaks stretched continuously, shrouded in clouds and mist. This scene was quite similar to the impression Qin Feng had of a Xianxia sect.
Black Charcoal Head drove the carriage to the foot of the mountain.
He had only glanced at it from a distance and had only a vague idea of the height of Jianfeng.
But now, looking up, the sword peaks seemed steep, a mountain path winding up until it disappeared into the clouds. It felt like following this path would lead them to the sky itself.
“The entrance to the Myriad Sword Sect is at the end of this mountain path. Young Master, from here on, we have to walk on our own; the carriage can’t go up.” said Black Charcoal Head.
Qin Feng nodded at his words, then opened the curtain and said, “Dad, there are many villages nearby. Why don’t you find a place to stay and wait for us to come out of the Myriad Sword Sect?”
Dad didn’t understand. “Why? Can’t I go up with you?”
Qin Feng explained, “It’s for your own good. To enter the Myriad Sword Sect, we have to climb the Sword Peak, but this mountain road is steep and high. You haven’t cultivated, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it.”
As soon as he said this, the old man in the carriage glanced at him with an intriguing look.“It seems to make some sense.” Dad stroked his chin, suddenly thinking of something. He pointed to the old man and asked, “What about him? Should he stay below with me?”
“Master, of course, he will go up with us.”
Just kidding, whether my wife can successfully cross the tribulation depends on this old man. I can’t let him back out… Qin Feng added in his mind.
Qin Jian’an, hearing this, immediately objected, “If he can go up, can’t I? You don’t have to say more; I’m going to the Myriad Sword Sect with you.”
Qin Feng tried to persuade him, but the old man rejected him with a wave of his hand.
Helplessly, Qin Feng could only get off the carriage and walk to Black Charcoal Head’s side. “If my dad can’t handle it later, please help him.”
Xing Sheng nodded, “I understand, Young Master.”
After finding a nearby village and arranging the carriage, Qin Feng and his party returned to the foot of the Sword Peak and began to climb.
It had to be said that the steepness of this sword peak far exceeded Qin Feng’s imagination, making the climb quite challenging.
If he hadn’t entered the Seventh-Rank Righteous Qi Realm and his body had undergone the tempering of Righteous Qi, he might not have been able to handle it.
Along the way, Qin Feng observed the surrounding scenery. The trees were lush, and the sound of mountain springs flowing could still be heard.
Climbing higher, there was even the roaring sound of waterfalls cascading down.
As the position of the Sword Peak got higher, the humidity increased, and clouds and mist began to obscure the view.
Qin Feng’s breathing became more rapid. While he struggled to climb, he also anxiously looked in the direction of his father.
His father and the old man walked side by side in the rear, slowly following. They would occasionally stop to rest, wipe the sweat from their foreheads, and take deep breaths.
It seemed that his father was struggling… Seeing this, Qin Feng instructed Black Charcoal, who was nearby.
Upon hearing this, Xing Sheng walked to the side of Qin Feng’s father, asked a few questions, then quickly returned, shaking his head. “Master Qin doesn’t need my support.”
Qin Feng’s face turned unpleasant. He could barely handle it himself, how could his father endure?
It was really a matter of pride and suffering!
“Never mind, let’s talk about it when he really can’t go on.”
After passing two-thirds of Sword Peak, Qin Feng’s body had reached its limit. He felt like his feet were as heavy as a thousand catties. Fortunately, with Black Charcoal’s support, he could barely continue.
“Let me… let me rest for a while.” He pressed his hands on his knees, took a few breaths, and then wanted to turn around to see how his father was doing.
But at that moment, when he turned, he only saw two figures passing by.
His father, panting heavily, patted his shoulder and said, “Feng’er, you spend all your time reading and don’t know how to exercise. Your body has become weak like this? Enough talking; your master and I will go up first. Take a rest and catch up later.”
“Xing Sheng, I entrust my son to you.”
“Don’t worry, Master Qin.”
Qin Feng stared with his mouth open, watching the two figures gradually disappear into the mist. He felt a bit skeptical about life.
The words of advice he had given his father under Sword Peak earlier echoed in his mind, and he felt his cheeks burning.
No, I can’t just endure this; I have to stand up for myself!
With difficulty, Qin Feng straightened his body and said firmly, “No need to support me. I’ll walk the rest of the way on my own!”
Black Charcoal Head was uncertain, “Young Master, can you do it?”
A man can never say he can’t!
Climbing another ten flights of stairs, Qin Feng came down defeated, “Quick… help me a bit, I can’t catch my breath.”
On the other side, in the midst of clouds and mist, Qin Jian’an and the old man Bai Li climbed the sword peak as if taking a leisurely stroll in a garden.
“You’re quite good at pretending.”
“Just like you, practice makes perfect.” Qin Jian’an replied. At this moment, his appearance didn’t reveal any signs of the previous struggle.
“You left Jinyang City and came here. Could it be because of the dominance of heaven and earth? Will there be any variables?” Qin Jian’an said in a deep voice.
Thinking of the red thunder in Qin Feng’s dream, Bai Li’s face turned serious, “I don’t know. That’s why I came here to take a look, hoping it’s just my own overthinking. By the way, why did you come?”
“My daughter-in-law is facing the heavenly tribulation. How could I not be concerned?”
“That makes sense.”
…
“Young Master, we’re here.”
Qin Feng didn’t reply, breathing heavily. At the summit, the air was already thin, and he needed some time to recover.
Leaning against a stone pillar, he felt like his legs weren’t his own.
Right now, all he wanted to say was, why did the ancestor of the Myriad Sword Sect have to establish the sect in such a high place? Does he have some serious illness?!
After a long time, he finally caught his breath and began to assess the situation in front of him.
At the end of the mountain path was a stone platform. Because the view was obscured by clouds and mist, he couldn’t see beyond ten feet, so he didn’t know how large the stone platform was.
“Where’s my father and master?”
Xing Sheng looked around and suddenly saw a huge black shadow resembling a door. He pointed in that direction and said, “Perhaps, over there?”
Qin Feng and Xing Sheng walked towards the giant black shadow. After walking about twenty feets, the scenery suddenly became clear.
Before their eyes was a grand gate with a majestic presence. On either side stood sword-shaped stone pillars, and above the gate, the three characters of “Myriad Sword Sect” were engraved with a grand momentum.
Looking back, the clouds and mist seemed to be blocked by something, unable to extend inside.
At this moment, in front of the gate, Qin Jianan and the old man were being stopped by two disciples wearing blue sword robes.
As Qin Feng and Xing Sheng approached, they heard one of them saying, “Sorry, Myriad Sword Sect has closed its doors to visitors recently. No casual people are allowed to enter…”
