Chapter 132: Bright Moon Deifying & Perfect Disguise

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Silver Moon Sword Technique was an extremely unfathomable sword technique. Junior Leopard thought that with his current foundation, practicing it would be an extremely relaxing matter. However, the truth was not so.

“It seems that I underestimated this sword technique!”

Within the cave, the coal dagger in Junior Leopard’s hands slowly remained. There was an extremely cold and strange spirit that was flowing, surrounding his body.

Shutting his eyes, Junior Leopard quietly sensed this strange spirit flow in the surroundings. “I didn’t think that this sword technique can actually change the spirit surrounding a person. This is exactly what I need. When I join it with my Black Hole Fist Intent, maybe even Wang She won’t be able to recognize me!”

Junior Leopard silently calculated the gains and losses of this matter. “Compared to the Wild Hammering Skill’s flamboyant style, this sword technique is dark and mysterious. It made people unable to guard against it. The mental cultivation method going along with it is even more mysterious. It is actually able to change the Blaze Technique of the Heavenly Nine Dragon Internal Qi within my body to a gentle and Yin nature. It is the complete opposite of violence. No wonder Xue Wuya would steal this. With the Bloodfire Gang that he practices, if coordinated with this mental cultivation method of the Silver Moon Sword Technique, without taking too long, he will be able to remove the Fire Qi within his Internal Qi, and completely control the violent nature of the fire attribute Internal Qi. This could result in the Internal Qi Gang Qi condensing even more perfectly. His power would increase exponentially!”

Thinking through this point, Junior Leopard was even more curious about this sword technique. “I don’t know what kind of background the He Family in Yangzhou has to actually possess such a mysterious sword technique. It seems that their ancestor must be a character!”

But he did not know that the He Family in Yangzhou was famous in this world 10,000 years ago. However, at that point in time, it was not the He Family, but the Silver Moon Sword Sect. This Silver Moon Sword Technique was the foundation of the Silver Moon Sword Sect. And the mental cultivation method going along with the sword technique was the Bright Moon Deifying Technique.

This Bright Moon Deifying Technique had the similar effect as Taiji Fist in condensing Internal Qi. However, what was different was that Taiji Fist was focused on purifying Internal Qi, condensing was just a side effect. But the Bright Moon Deifying Technique was completely focused on condensing Internal Qi. No matter how overbearing the Internal Qi was, after the circulation of the Bright Moon Deifying Technique, it would become finer, and in the end, it would reach the state of being fine like silk.

The Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was no exception.

Of course, this only had pros and no cons toward Junior Leopard. The more condensed that the Internal Qi was, the stronger that the power unleashed would be, especially for Junior Leopard, who cultivated the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique. The deeper the cultivation, the more effort that had to be spent to suppress the violent Fire Qi within the Internal Qi. It would only add to their difficulty of condensing Evil Qi into Gang Qi. This Bright Moon Deifying Technique seemed to have solved this problem. This allowed him to train without worries. Just based on this point, it was enough for people to kill each other to vie for it.

“Urgh…!”

Outside of the cave, there was suddenly the howl of a wolf. Junior Leopard smiled and walked to the cave entrance. He looked outside, and his face revealed a look of surprise. He saw Little Du standing on the riverside. Underneath its feet was a wild lamb corpse. It was facing off against three fierce tigers.

“This brat dog!” Junior Leopard sat outside of the cave entrance and was prepared to watch a show.

However, there was not much fun in watching the show. Even though Little Du was a mixed blood of wolf and dog, it had a keen sense since birth, and was a demonic beast with intelligence. Adding on to the fact that it ate the Inner Elixer that Junior Leopard had given it, after suffering for a period of time, its power increased. It only howled once and it was able to shock and scare those three fierce tigers. After shouting once more, those three tigers did not dare to continue battling. After facing off for a while, they ran away. This made Junior Leopard somewhat disappointed.

Ever since Little Du ate that demonic beast’s Inner Elixer, its strength had increased, but its outer appearance had a drastic change. The originally silver fur’s luster had completely vanished. It became silver grey. There was no difference from a normal wolf. Its big size had become smaller as well, the same size as an adult wolf. This was a matter that made Junior Leopard completely dissatisfied because he could no longer ride on it.

However, no matter if it was speed or strength, or even Little Du’s original strength, it had a major increase. Little Du now only needed to run a few steps and could produce nine phantoms. It was a major improvement compared to the six phantoms when it first met Junior Leopard. The most important thing was that its intelligence seemed to have increased. It was smarter than before. Junior Leopard only needed to move his thoughts slightly, and it would carry out whatever requests without committing any errors.

“What a pity! I can’t bring it out to show off!” Junior Leopard sighed. He turned around into the cave and continued practicing.

Within the mountains, there was neither day nor night.

Unknowingly, he had already stayed in Misty Mountains for four whole months. Within these months, he had an obvious increase in understanding the Silver Moon Sword Technique. When he executed it, there was power in it. His relationship with Little Du also became intimate. The initial proud and violent psywave was also slowly eradicated by him. The most important thing was that after half a year of continuously circulating his External Elixer, the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill had already reached a stage that Junior Leopard did not dare to believe.

Level Five!

It had completely surpassed his body’s cultivation. When circulating, a strong Green Jade Internal Qi flowed within the External Elixer and communicated with the body. Even though he could not absorb the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill within his body, it was still extremely smooth when he used it.

For the past month, he had been practicing the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill to be compatible with the Silver Moon Sword Technique. Under the effects of the Bright Moon Deifying Technique, his Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill became more and more condensed. In truth, if it was not for him circulating the Bright Moon Deifying Technique, now his External Elixer would have reached Level Six, which was the requirement and target that Wang She had set out for him.

“The Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill, the Bright Moon Deifying Technique, and adding on the Silver Moon Sword Technique—this is the perfect disguise. There shouldn’t be anybody thinking that I am the same person!” Junior Leopard thought in his heart. He left the Misty Mountains with a tinge of regret.

Indeed, regret. The only regret was that he did not see the little monster. That tree which was cut apart made him worried that the little monster had encountered an accident.

It was just within the past four months that he had searched the surroundings thoroughly, but he did not find any traces of the little monster. If it was further in, it would have exceeded Junior Leopard’s capability. Hence, he had to give up.

Leaving Misty Mountains, he stayed for a few more days in the village. He bought some property for his family in Qingyang Market. He settled his parents in, and pleaded with Qin Xuanlong who was in charge of the Wu’s Ironware Shop in Qingyang Market to take care of his parents. Qin Xuanlong naturally agreed to do so, and patted his own chest to promise. Junior Leopard then relaxed and went toward Qinlingjun City.

In another few days it would be Xu Yong’s birthday, so he had to arrive in Qinlingjun City before that day.

…

…

“What? Zhou Bao came back, and even prepared the Sky Splitting Sword as a gift for Elder Xu?!”

Deep within the Wu’s headquarters, in a house there was a shout of surprise. Following that was the sound of a teacup dropping on the floor. A white porcelain teacup dropped on the floor, and was smashed into pieces. The tea splashed all around the floor, emitting a faint white steam.

“Yes, yes. I heard that he met an assassin in Misty Mountains. That sword was obtained from that assassin!” a pink-clothed maidservant bowed her head and replied. She really could not understand why the Second Madam, upon hearing this news, would have lost her composure, even smashing her favorite teacup. However, at moments like this, she did not dare to raise her head.

“What about that assassin? What happened to that assassin!” The Second Madam’s voice had changed. However, she seemed to have sensed her loss of composure. She took a deep breath and asked calmly, “Has he caught that assassin?”

“I heard Zhou Bao killed him!” the maidservant replied.

“He was killed?!” The Second Madam moved slightly. She retreated a step and sat on the chair. Both of her hands were tightly holding onto the armrests. She then stabilized her body. “Are you sure?!”

“I, I heard that he burnt him into ash, only leaving the Sky Splitting Sword!” the maidservant said carefully. Her tone seemed to be trembling. She could very obviously feel that the temperature in the surroundings had decreased by a few degrees.

“Burnt into ash, only leaving the Sky Splitting Sword!” The Second Madam was at a loss. Her eyes were loosely fixed in front, and her mouth seemed to be muttering something. She raised her hand to signal the maidservant to leave.

That maidservant did not dare to stay long, so she bowed her head and quickly left the house. Only the Second Madam was left there, sitting on the chair, dazed.

“Burnt into ash. That is impossible, impossible. Mother Wu has reached Level Six and has the Sky Splitting Sword. How can she fail? How is this possible?!” her mouth was muttering. Her tone contained signs of disbelief. “Not possible. Definitely impossible. I want to go and see for myself whether that is the Sky Splitting Sword!”

A wave of hot air hit her brain. She violently stood up and rushed to the door. She just rushed out of the door and suddenly stopped.

“No, I can’t just go like that. It is too lacking in propriety!” she thought in her heart. Then she slowly sat back in her chair and sighed deeply. “Aye, Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao, what kind of a deity are you?”

…

…

Zhou Bao was not a deity. He was only a normal hunter that came out of the village. Of course, he was the guard of Li Yuan, Zhonghe City’s admiral, who had not reported yet.

On Xu Yong’s birthday, Junior Leopard presented the Sky Splitting Sword. It ignited a lot of commotion.

Also as a smelting family, the Wu Family had lusted after the Jian Family’s ability to craft weapons. It was a pity that after researching for hundreds of years, they still could not figure it out. And the mysterious weapons that the Jian Family had leaked outside were not many. Most of them had owners. It was thus difficult to research it. Who would have thought that Junior Leopard would inexplicably bring out one of the three great swords of the Jian Family, the Sky Splitting Sword? How could the Wu Family not be happy about this?

As for who really wanted to kill Junior Leopard, the Wu’s were too lazy to dwell on it.

Now Junior Leopard was no longer the unknown person from back then. He used the hammers to destroy the city gate at Zhonghe City, and kept guard in the underground fire vein for four days. He defeated quite a few Bone-Forging Realm experts. In the end, he had some ties with Tian Long Taoism’s Wang She. All of this caused his reputation to soar. Amongst the Wu’s younger generation, there was not another like him. Even the two sons of the family head had their reputation robbed by him.

In this way, it was not a strange thing for people to want to kill him. Which martial artists in their meteoric rise to fame had not met this kind of situation before? In a martial artists’ rise, it meant that there were a lot of experts falling at his hands, to become his stepping stones. This obviously incited hatred in people.

It would be normal that he would be killed by more than one assassin. This assassin’s hands actually had one of the three great treasures of the Jian Family. This would obviously attract the deep thoughts of people. However, those were only deep thoughts. This sword was the Sky Splitting, not the Shaking Heaven, so there was not really a point to dwell upon it.
