On Reflection Cliff, Lin Bai sat cross-legged before the 108th stone.
On this stone was engraved the comprehension of the Heavenly Thunder Realm.
In six months, Lin Bai tirelessly comprehended these six realms, finally gaining so insights!
Half a day later, Lin Bai departed from before the stone and sat atop the mountain peak, gazing into the distant horizon. At this mont, a wave of nine realms of comprehension emanated from Lin Bai, and a strong sword intention swept across the entire Reflection Cliff!
In the palace before Reflection Cliff, the slovenly old man frowned, looking toward the mountain peak, and said, "Lin Bai’s sword intention grows stronger. How do I sense that within his sword intention, there is the power of nine realms?"
Subsequently, the slovenly old man stopped concerning himself with Lin Bai, embracing his wine jug, happily drinking away.
At that very mont, a dark flash suddenly flitted across Reflection Cliff. Even the slovenly old man did not notice its origin, and it directly appeared on the mountain peak where Lin Bai was.
A dark light silently descended not far behind Lin Bai, gazing coldly at him.
He watched Lin Bai seated cross-legged, cultivating the realm of comprehension, and did not disturb him.
"Senior, do you not know that spying on a warrior’s cultivation is a major taboo?"
Lin Bai slightly opened his eyes at this mont and spoke coldly.
The middle-aged man in black smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, ca before Lin Bai, looked at his face, and said with a faint smile, "Lan Ling said he passed on the Dragon Slayer Sword Technique to an unparalleled sword cultivator within the Southern Yard."
"I originally thought he casually found soone, but I didn’t expect you to be so extraordinary!"
This middle-aged man in black was none other than Mo Wenshen!
When Lin Bai heard this person ntion Lan Ling’s na, his pupils couldn’t help but twitch fiercely, and he asked, "Senior, you don’t seem to be one of the warriors reflecting on past deeds on Reflection Cliff?"
"I am..." Mo Wenshen chuckled, looking at the scenery on Reflection Cliff, and lightly said, "More than twenty years ago, I was confined here for three years!"
"I didn’t expect that after more than twenty years, Reflection Cliff hasn’t changed a bit!"
Mo Wenshen shook his head and said.
"Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My na is Mo Wenshen. Do you know ?"
Mo Wenshen stared into Lin Bai’s eyes and asked with a smile.
Although he was asking Lin Bai, he was actually probing him.
If Lin Bai was indeed related to Lin Duo from over twenty years ago, then hearing his na would surely stir sothing in him.
But this made Lin Bai disappointed.
Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Should I know you, Senior?"
"You don’t know ?" Mo Wenshen looked at the strange expression on Lin Bai’s face, as if Lin Bai truly didn’t recognize him.
Mo Wenshen chuckled lightly, "Indeed, over twenty years have passed, and few people in Dongzhou would still rember ."
"Who would rember the unparalleled Tianjiao of the Southern Yard from back then!"
"Who still rembers the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain back then!"
Mo Wenshen said with a bitter smile.
"The Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain?" Lin Bai instantly frowned.
Mo Wenshen chuckled lightly, "Back then, in the Southern Yard, there were eighteen unparalleled Tianjiao, each with great divine powers. The leader was nad Lin Duo, whom we admired greatly!"
"This Lin Duo had unmatched sword skills, a heaven-defying sword art, and once, with just an iron sword, defeated countless talents across Eastern Continent!"
"And we were among his fellow warriors!"
"We spent three months on a mountain adorned with blooming peach blossoms in Dongzhou, drinking and reveling, cherishing each other’s talents, and thus swore brotherhood under the heavens, earning the title of the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain by the local warriors!"
"Lan Ling was also among us!"
Mo Wenshen’s eyes seed to hold a tinge of recollection.
Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai’s heart was stirred, as if struck by Five Thunders Strike.
"The Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain..."
"Lan Ling was among them!"
"Then, Su Yanhua and Xun Zhizang were also among them?"
"Wen Jia’s parents, Wen Cheng and Jin Lu, were also among them!"
"Then who else were among these eighteen?"
Lin Bai spoke in shock in his heart, "If what he says is true, isn’t he my father’s sworn brother?"
Lin Bai looked at Mo Wenshen, curiously asking, "What happened afterward? Despite being eighteen unparalleled Tianjiao, why haven’t I heard your nas in Dongzhou today?"
"And no one seems to have heard of the heaven-defying sword cultivator either!"
Mo Wenshen laughed, "Later, so events unfolded. Eighteen people, so died, so fled, so were captured, so hid, and finally, we vanished from Dongzhou!"
"I was once one of the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain. I’ve always wanted to find the descendants of those brothers from back then to make ands!"
Mo Wenshen said with guilt.
Lin Bai asked, "Make ands?"
Mo Wenshen said, "Back then, I didn’t have enough strength to protect them, which fills with guilt. But I heard they still have descendants surviving, so I’ve been looking for them all these years!"
"I heard from Lan Ling that he passed Elder Brother Lin Duo’s Dragon Slayer Sword Technique to a warrior surnad Lin, so I imdiately ca to find you!"
Mo Wenshen looked at Lin Bai with excitent and joy, "Lin Bai, I want to ask you, you co from the Territories of all nations, do you have any connection to Elder Brother Lin Duo?"
Lin Bai silently looked at Mo Wenshen, not saying a word.
Mo Wenshen shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. Otherwise, with my cultivation, if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t be standing here wasting so many words with you!"
"I just want to find their descendants!"
Mo Wenshen shook his head and said.
"Lin Bai, tell , what exactly is your relationship with Elder Brother Lin Duo? Why did Lan Ling choose you to inherit the Dragon Slayer Sword Technique?"
Mo Wenshen pursued his questioning.
Lin Bai maintained a calm expression and said, "After arriving at the Dongzhou Academy, I have indeed heard so stories about the heaven-defying sword cultivator from back then, and I know he hailed from the Territories of all nations, but sorry..."
"I truly don’t know him, nor do I know Lin Duo!"
Throughout Mo Wenshen’s observation, Lin Bai’s expression showed no fluctuations when Lin Duo and the heaven-defying sword cultivator were ntioned, truly as if the two were strangers!
At this mont, Lin Bai smiled and said, "As for why Lord Lan Ling chose to pass the Dragon Slayer Sword Technique to to cultivate... well, that’s naturally because I possess extraordinary talent, being an unparalleled genius, with heaven-reaching skill in the sword art!"
"In the Dongzhou Academy, among the countless sword cultivators, who else but is qualified to cultivate the Dragon Slayer Sword Technique?"
Lin Bai looked with pride into Mo Wenshen’s eyes as he spoke.
But when Lin Bai ntioned his sword art, he was imnsely proud, as if he surpassed even Lin Duo!
Mo Wenshen, hearing Lin Bai’s final words, gave a bitter smile, "You truly lack any humility. Even Elder Brother Lin Duo over twenty years ago wouldn’t dare boast so grandiosely, claiming to be the first sword cultivator Under Heaven!"
"What you say now, when compared to Elder Brother Lin Duo, really shows a stark contrast!"
"You will never beco Elder Brother Lin Duo! Nor will you ever be able to follow in his footsteps!"
Mo Wenshen looked at Lin Bai with disdain and said.
