Sign In Buddha’s Palm

Chapter 167: Sword Mark.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“Invincible?”

Li Wan looked at Su Qin. She was only ten years old and had never been out of the Palace. So it was natural that she didn’t know what the word “invincible” meant.

Currently, her only thought was that her Third Uncle is really strong, at least he’s much stronger than the annoying Eunuchs in the Palace.

“Alright.”

“Let’s stop talking about this, what do you want to learn?”

Su Qin shook his head, he asked Li Wan.

“What do I want to learn…”

Li Wan thought carefully for a while, before finally saying: “Third Uncle, I want to learn the sword, I want to be the most powerful swordsman in the world!”

Li Wan’s face was full of yearning.

Since ancient times, the quote, “Kill a person in ten steps, do not stay for a thousand miles, and leave after everything is done,” has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When Li Wan was thinking about learning and so on, she immediately thought of the sword because of this.

“The sword?”

A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face, he said: “Then, you wait here for a while.”

Su Qin turned around and walked to the Right Spring Square.

In a short while, Su Qin came out holding a palm-sized piece of wood in his hand.

“Third Uncle, what is this?”

Li Wan pointedly looked at the piece of wood curiously.

“It’s the sword that you want to learn.”

Su Qin looked at the piece of wood on his hand, raised his right hand and stroked it lightly.

A shallow sword mark then appeared on the piece of wood.

“Watch this sword mark often, it will teach you the way of the sword.” Su Qin handed the piece of wood to Li Wan.

“How does this piece of wood teach me the sword…” Li Wan opened her eyes wide. But as she was about to ask a question, she was cut off as her gaze fell on the sword mark on the surface of the wood.

In an instant, Li Wan felt that the world had become illusory. In her gaze, only the shallow sword mark remained.

The sword mark gradually became brighter. It detached from the piece of wood, and like a peerless Sword Light, it became bigger and bigger – more pure and sharp. Time seems to have slowed down.

After a while, Li Wan blinked, her small face filled with confusion: “Third Uncle, why do I feel that this piece of wood has suddenly become alive?”

“Well, you can go back now.”

Su Qin laughed, waved his hand and reminded: “Remember what I said, just look at the sword mark on the wood.”

“Yes.”

Even though Li Wan still had doubts in her heart, she still bowed and left.

Su Qin was left there, still standing at that spot. His eyes looked deep. No one knew what he was thinking about.

The sword mark on the piece of wood contained Su Qin’s understanding of the sword.

If Li Wan was able to understand that sword mark, even if she couldn’t defeat a Legend, she would have no problem dealing with Peak Grade 1.

Most importantly, the sword mark already paved the way for Li Wan’s future. She would not be confused nor doubtful about the Cultivation. All she needed to do was to move forward with her strength.

This was the most terrifying effect of the sword mark.

Of course, when Su Qin passed the piece of wood with the sword mark to Li Wan, he linked it with Li Wan’s True Spirit. Except for Li Wan, no one else would be able to see this sword mark, not to mention touch it.

In the next few days, besides Signing In, Cultivating, and occasionally giving pointers to Li Wan, Su Qin observed the changes in the Heavens and Earth.

According to what Mo Ji said, the vitality of the world was like a wave. It rises and falls. During its downtime, the World’s Essence Qi was depleted/scarce, hence Cultivation was extremely difficult. On the other hand, if it was in it’s high time, the World’s Essence Qi was abundant and Cultivation becomes easier.

“The wave of vitality is the Power of Heaven and Earth. It cannot be changed nor disobeyed.”

Su Qin was sitting cross-legged. He carefully felt the increase in his Cultivation at the speed visible to the naked eye. Thoughts constantly flashed in his mind.

Maybe the rumored Buddha has the power to influence or even reverse the wave of vitality, but obviously, the current Su Qin does not have this ability.

Time passed and in a blink of an eye, a year passed.

This year, the world’s vitality’s recovery has become more and more obvious.

In the Imperial Palace of Tang Empire, in addition to the Commander of the Imperial Army breaking through to Grade 1 Great Perfection, there were two more Grade 1 Great Perfection that followed.

With this, the Empire’s foundation skyrocketed, surpassing the most prosperous period in its history in one fell swoop.

“In just one year, I have achieved the 6th Heavenly Layer Great Perfection!”

Su Qin walked out of Right Spring Square while feeling the changes in his True Essence. He was happy with the results.

“In a few months of adjusting, I will start to break through.”

Su Qin calmed himself down and planned things out.

Even though the World’s Essence Qi has become ample and the environment has become suitable for Cultivation, it does not mean that you can really break through at will. Not to mention that the 6th Heavenly Layer to the 7th Heavenly Layer is a crucial step.

“It’s been a long time since I Signed In at the Imperial Palace…”

Su Qin glanced around and thought to himself.

Since his avatar entered the Cave World, most of his Sign Ins have been used in the Cave World.

The reason for this was that most of the treasures Su Qin obtained in the Imperial Palace have begun to be repeated. For example, with just the Innate Spirit Liquid alone, he already accumulated tens of thousands of drops.

“There are so many Dao Accumulation places in the Cave World.”

Su Qin sighed, feeling that creating an incarnation and sending it to the Cave World was the correct choice.

He doesn’t have to take any risks, as he was just staying in the Imperial Palace while the benefits he was getting were ample.

“In the past year, I have gathered some information about the Cave World.”

“The well under Chang’an City connects to Demon Cloud City in the Cave World.”

“The City Lord of Demon Cloud City is a Demon King Level existence, which almost corresponds to a Legend or Arhat.”

“This City Lord has been in the Demon King Level for hundreds of years, so his strength is probably between the 3rd Heavenly Layer or 4th Heavenly Layer.”

Su Qin stroked his chin.

“In addition, in the depths of the world of the Cave World, it is said that there is a Demon God sitting and overlooking the entire Cave World. I don’t know what level this Demon God is? An Earth Immortal? Or stronger?”

Though Su Qin only thought for a moment before he stopped thinking about it.

Although the Cave World wanted to invade the surface world, it will be hundreds of thousands of years later.

Because only when the tidal wave of vitality in the surface world has fully recovered, was it worthwhile for the Cave World to invade it.

Before that time comes, the Cave World would ‘look down’ on the surface world because of its undesirable Cultivation environment.

The rise and fall of the wave of vitality cannot be completed in several decades.

So, Su Qin was in no rush.

In the meantime, Su Qin slowly adjusted his state.

Six months passed.

On a certain day, in the Underground Palace.

Su Qin, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.

“I’m ready.”

Su Qin’s eyes flashed.

Since stepping into the 6th Heavenly Layer Great Perfection six months ago, Su Qin had spent the past six months adjusting himself, trying to improve himself to the most perfect state.

Now, he has finally reached it.
