Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 588 - : Founder Lu Shu, 666

Chapter 588: Founder Lu Shu, 666

There were ancestors in the Hall of Swords whose chi mountain had collapsed. But for those ancestors, their mountain had collapsed because it had been destroyed by others. None of the cases were like this, where a sword spirit had appeared.

Thus, from the look of things, the sword spirits of the ancestors most likely died when the mountain was destroyed. But Lu Shu was different. He had bred a sword spirit.

Li Xianyi suddenly realized that Lu Shu may have been the first to do so in the Hall of Swords.

The method to unlock the sea of chi was to develop the body. Many schools of thought felt that humans had boundless potential, hence the secret to one’s body development was to go against the natural order of training.

Lu Shu had discovered the method to breed sword spirits. There was no doubt that he had found a new path and excavated new potential. This discovery would definitely land Lu Shu in the Hall of Swords’ historical records.

But this was somewhat of a problem. Lu Shu was not part of the Hall of Swords! How could an outsider be in their records?

But the discovery that the chi mountain could breed sword spirits was a very important discovery. Even Li Xianyi started to sc.r.a.pe down his chi mountain after he had heard this. But when Li Xianyi asked Lu Shu about the abilities of the swords spirit, Lu Shu was not willing to tell him. He did not know why.

Li Xianyi was curious how the sword spirits he had bred were like.

Li Xianyi had restored his foundation, thus he was not in a rush to find a successor. If nothing unexpected occurred, he had a lifespan of over two hundred years at least. Under these circ.u.mstances, he could slowly look for a successor.

Suddenly, Li Xianyi had an idea. He wanted to ask whether Lu Shu would be willing to enter the Hall of Swords and take him as his teacher. After all, Lu Shu’s discovery was very important to the Hall of Swords.

But Li Xianyi did not ask him. He felt that as long as he asked Lu Shu, Lu Shu would agree, because Lu Shu had let down his guard against Li Xianyi.

If he asked Lu Shu over the phone, it would would be the most careless case of taking a teacher in the history of the Hall of Swords…

Nie Ting and s.h.i.+ Xuejin were guessing the relations.h.i.+p between Li Xianyi and Lu Shu. Were they teacher and student? The answer was no.

Li Xianyi hesitated before finally writing in the Hall of Sword records. “AD 2011, Lu Shu’s talent surpa.s.sed that of the founding fathers. Before he unlocked his sea of chi, he gathered air to form clouds, gathered clouds to form rain, gathered rain to form rivers, gathered rivers to form seas, and eventually established the chi mountain before he unlocked the sea of chi. He could not unlock the sea of chi because of suppression from the chi mountain, thus Lu Shu collapsed the chi mountain. This caused the chi mountain to produce a sword spirit. From this day onwards, there is an additional method to impart swordplay.”

As he wrote this paragraph, Li Xianyi could think of what the descendants of the Hall of Swords would write.

“Founder Lu Shu is awesome!”

“Senpai Lu Shu, 666!”

Thinking about this, Li Xianyi felt that the ancestors had been playing around with the book of records. This was probably the earliest record of background updates and comments on paper!

But Li Xianyi probably did not think that as he destroyed his own chi mountain to breed a sword spirit, Lu Shu had begun to sc.r.a.pe his second chi mountain.

Sc.r.a.ping a chi mountain could not be done in a day. Lu Shu had spent a significant time building and collapsing his chi mountain.

Unconsciously, Lu Shu, who was going to turn 18 soon, had become more composed. He was neither rushed or slow, neither conceited nor rash.

The military truck hurried on even at night. Two warriors took turns to drive. In this journey to enter the Lop Nur remains, ordinary soldiers provided background support for the Pract.i.tioners.

When dinnertime approached, the military truck stopped at a service area along the expressway to take a break. They strictly followed the rules. Even if there were two drivers rotating s.h.i.+fts, they had to have a break in between. After all, it was a journey of over two thousand kilometers.

Seven students from the Daoyuan Cla.s.s sat together to eat. After Lu Shu slowly woke up from his sleep, he joined the two soldiers.

Lu Shu was curious. “How many ordinary soldiers are involved in the background work this time round?”

“Around ten thousand. Actually, we don’t have to do much. We mainly have to transport logistics and manpower,” one of the soldiers said with a smile. “Now, the Daoyuan Cla.s.s students are much stronger than before. In the past, we still had to pitch tents. Now, you have your own campsite. But we are still in charge of the cooking.”

Lu Shu nodded his head. These were the results of the military training. They did not necessarily apply their military strategies. After all, only blood and fire could truly train the Daoyuan Cla.s.s students. But now, at least the overweight newborns had weaned. This was a good sign.

Lu Shu explained, “When the remains are about to open, remember to hide far away. If you get caught inside, it will be hard to come out alive.”

He was not making a discriminatory remark that the abilities of the ordinary soldiers were lacking. This was the reality. Even if an ordinary person was fully equipped with defensive gear, it would be very hard for them to survive.

Lu Shu saw the seven Daoyuan Cla.s.s students with a standard long sword. All the students in the Cultivation College likely had that same sword. But as time pa.s.sed, the Heavenly Network’s preparations became more complete.

The two soldiers looked at each other while hungrily gulping down on their food. “Don’t worry about that. Our superiors have told us about it. We will be careful. When that time comes, someone will alert us. If we are really caught inside, we still have you guys to protect us, right?”

The two soldiers did not expect that a student would be concerned about them. This made them feel warm inside. After all, they had worked day and night sending the students to the ruins. If the students felt that this was only expected of them and treated them coldly, they would feel uncomfortable no matter how much they had obeyed commands.

When the seven Daoyuan Cla.s.s students heard this, they laughed. “If you are caught inside, we will definitely protect you. Don’t worry. We are a family.”

But the student called Jiang Feng interrupted, “But I don’t know whether that person beside you will be able to protect you.”

The two soldiers felt uneasy. They now realized that there were still many things the Daoyuan Cla.s.s students did not know about one another. But they did not feel that Lu Shu was weak. It was the exact opposite. They felt that Lu Shu was more relaxed than the other Daoyuan Cla.s.s students.

This feeling was like when they saw seasoned veterans on the border.

In recent years, the country was peaceful, but it was different on the borders. They had heard from the veterans that once, when two soldiers were keeping guard at the border, they had been killed by a sniper.

This certainly happened. Even if there was no magical energy in the world, the world was not as safe as you would imagine.

Lu Shu glanced at Jiang Feng and the other students. He smiled. “You all are experts. I pray that you will be able to make extraordinary achievements in the ruins. If we pa.s.s by each other, please protect me.”

Jiang Feng said coldly, “How about learning how to protect yourself, instead of waiting for others to protect you?”
