Chapter 1438: Such Is Heaven's Will
Yu Hongdou blinked and asked, "Speaking of which, what was Sword Mountain like at its absolute peak?"
He was genuinely curious.
"What was it like..."
The Old Sword Cultivator took a sip of wine. "In the early years, there was a certain Immortal Mountain—one quite renowned in the Cultivation World at the time. They had a bit of a grudge against Sword Mountain and ended up detaining some of our disciples for no reason. On that occasion, nearly a thousand Sword Cultivators rode their blades into the sky, led by over a dozen Sword Immortals. Wherever they passed, every other cultivator retreated to avoid our edge."
"If the patriarch of that mountain hadn't swallowed his pride and groveled, that Immortal Mountain would likely have ceased to exist."
"That overbearing?!" Yu Hongdou exclaimed in astonishment.
The Old Sword Cultivator chuckled. "Among Sword Cultivators, how many aren't overbearing?"
Yu Hongdou blinked. He looked down at the Sword in his hand, unable to sense anything overbearing about himself at all.
The Old Sword Cultivator patted his head. "You're a cautious little fellow, and small in stature too. Just learning a cautious little Sword art is enough. Don't learn to fight and kill like us, there's no point to it."
