YM778.TV Chapter 111
But just when Li Muyang was about to do it, he suddenly started to talk nonsense… Wasn’t this just causing trouble for no reason?
The Shape-Shifter Master was at a loss for words.
Li Muyang, however, chuckled and said, “Senior, don’t be in such a hurry. Can’t I be curious?”
“Suppose I came here alone, how could I safely take away the Startling Swan Immortal Sword?”
This was very important to Li Muyang at the moment.
If he could take away the Startling Swan Immortal Sword by himself, then he wouldn’t have to worry about being trapped in the secret realm and could leave at any time.
Although Yan Xiaoru said that once the sect’s reinforcements arrived, they could open the secret realm with cooperation from inside and outside and rescue the two of them, Li Muyang never liked to pin his hopes on others.
Fairy Yu’s resting place was so hidden, how could it be easily discovered?It was possible that if the people outside couldn’t find their bodies, they would treat him and Yan Xiaoru as martyrs who died in glory.
It was best to find a way to subdue the Startling Swan Immortal Sword and possess this immortal sword.
Finding a way to break the situation on his own was the safest.
Li Muyang refused to take the sword and instead kept asking a bunch of questions, which made the Shape-Shifter Master’s head grow impatient.
But it still explained patiently.
【Shape-Shifter Master: The immortal sword has a spirit. It won’t be so easy for you to take it away. If you come here alone, you won’t even be able to pull out the sword.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: But with me by your side, the immortal sword will give some face and obediently let you take it away.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: As for the agreement you made with Luo Feng, I won’t forget. Once it’s done, I will teach you the heart mantra to control the immortal sword, at least allowing you to control the immortal sword and unleash about seventy percent of its power.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: Don’t think seventy percent is too little. Seventy percent of its power is already very strong. And since the immortal sword has a spirit, if you have the ability to gain its approval, it won’t be difficult to unleash all of its power in the future.】
The Shape-Shifter Master began to entice Li Muyang with grand promises.
Li Muyang, however, looked skeptical: “Do you know the heart mantra to control the Startling Swan Immortal Sword?”
That Startling Swan Immortal Sword was clearly Fairy Yu’s sword!
【Shape-Shifter Master: …You ignorant brat! I watched Fairy Yu grow up! Of course, I know her sword control heart mantra.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: Would I lie to a little brat like you?】
This Shape-Shifter Master clearly had a very old background.
Li Muyang: “Then, senior, can you teach me the mantra now? It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just want to broaden my knowledge…”
Li Muyang smiled broadly.
【Shape-Shifter Master: Impossible! What if I teach you the mantra now and you run away with the immortal sword? You must bring the sword back to find Luo Feng, then I will teach you the mantra.】
The Shape-Shifter Master was stubborn and no matter what Li Muyang said, it refused to relent.
After much hassle, seeing that the stubborn head wouldn’t budge, Li Muyang just shrugged his shoulders.
“Fine! As you say, once I bring the sword back and find Luo Feng, you’ll teach me the sword control heart mantra.”
After saving his progress, Li Muyang went over to pull out the immortal sword in front of the grave and then left the secret realm.
As expected, upon exiting the secret realm, he encountered Granny Gu blocking his way.
However, Li Muyang turned and ran, not giving Granny Gu a chance to act.
He ran wildly through Nanjiang City, quickly shaking off Granny Gu and returning to the residence of the half-demon General Luo Feng.
The same scenario unfolded.
After the half-demon General Luo Feng got the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, he transformed into a huge monster as tall as a small mountain and began a massacre in the city.
But this time, Li Muyang didn’t control Jiang Xiaoyu to leave. Instead, he found the head of the Shape-Shifter Master.
【Jiang Xiaoyu: Senior, the Startling Swan Immortal Sword’s sword control heart mantra you promised… Can you teach it to me now?】
Li Muyang’s eyes were fixed on the game’s head, afraid that the guy would go back on his word.
But after the Shape-Shifter Master’s head glanced at the rampaging demonized half-demon General in the distance, it nodded.
【Shape-Shifter Master: Alright. I’ll teach you now!】
【Shape-Shifter Master: The sword control heart mantra of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword is as follows…】
In the game interface, the Shape-Shifter Master immediately recited a profound and obscure sword control mantra.
Li Muyang’s eyes widened as he stared at the screen, memorizing the mantra diligently.
Ten minutes later, the Shape-Shifter Master finished reciting.
【Shape-Shifter Master: How about it? Have you learned it?】
【Jiang Xiaoyu: Uh… I haven’t fully mastered it, but I’ve got about seventy percent of it.】
【Shape-Shifter Master: Good lad, you’re not bad at boasting. Although the sword control heart mantra isn’t complicated, it takes at least a month or two of hard practice to fully grasp it. Unless you have some special bloodline…】
Before the Shape-Shifter Master could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu in the game gently raised his hand.
All the tables and chairs in his room began to levitate, using the Sword Control Technique mentioned by the Shape-Shifter Master.
A system prompt appeared in Li Muyang’s view.
【You have comprehended the Startling Swan Sword Mantra】
【Shape-Shifter Master: …】
Li Muyang: “…”
Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu in the game, who had an ancient evil bloodline and learned the Startling Swan Sword Mantra after hearing it just once, Li Muyang was incredibly frustrated.
I haven’t learned it yet!
He hadn’t even completely memorized the content of the mantra.
Who has a photographic memory to remember everything after hearing it just once?
Li Muyang had no choice but to reload the game and listen carefully again to the sword control heart mantra recited by the Shape-Shifter Master before he began teaching.
After repeatedly reloading and reciting, Li Muyang struggled for an entire day.
It wasn’t until the evening in the secret realm, with the moon high in the sky and Li Muyang in the bamboo forest, that he finally opened his eyes, having memorized all the content of the heart mantra.
“Why don’t I have a special bloodline…”
Li Muyang sighed, envious of Jiang Xiaoyu’s incredible talent to learn skills after hearing them just once.
But fortunately, he had the power to reload, and although his memory was average, he finally memorized it.
After closing the game, Li Muyang took another look outside.
He was in a high position, hiding in the bamboo forest, which just so happened to overlook the green grassland outside the forest.
At this moment, Elder Yan in a purple robe was sitting ten steps in front of Fairy Yu’s grave.
With her head bowed in silence, the woman’s dejected appearance indicated that she had made little progress.
From Li Muyang’s position, he could look down on Yan Xiaoru, but Yan Xiaoru couldn’t see Li Muyang hidden among the bamboo.
Seeing that Yan Xiaoru was still standing in the same place, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up a dry twig from the ground, stared at it, and began to recite the mantra under his breath.
Although her cultivation was sealed, Fairy Yu’s ‘Startling Swan Sword Mantra’ focused more on the spirit and mind, allowing it to be used even with the seal in place.
However, Li Muyang’s aptitude was indeed quite average.
He stared at the withered branches in front of him for half the night but still couldn’t manage to execute the complex and obscure Startling Swan Sword Mantra.
It was far from the intuitive understanding of Jiang Xiaoyu in the game, who could grasp things upon hearing them just once.
“The ancient times’ evil lineage is indeed powerful…”
Li Muyang sighed, feeling tired after a whole night of struggle.
Facing the rising morning sun, he curled up and found a comfortable spot where the sunlight just nicely warmed him and fell asleep.
He planned to sleep for a while and then continue practicing after waking up.
If you’re bad at something, practice makes perfect!
Li Muyang didn’t believe he couldn’t learn the ‘Startling Swan Sword Mantra.’
