Chapter Thirty-Six: The Ability of Threshing Blade

  What kind of place is that?

  "It's a world where the sword is revered."

  Yan's gaze remained on Shen Du's handsome face, admiring his straight and good-looking nose bridge, as well as those resolute eyes that ordinary people couldn't easily see through.

  Finally got Shen Du's answer, and let out a sigh: "Oh, with the sword as the most respected, do all people in Lingzhou like to practice swords?"

  "Of course, everyone wants to be the supreme Sword Emperor on that continent, standing at the pinnacle of the world. The thrill of having all things under one's feet is what everyone dreams of and wishes for their entire life." Shen Du said expressionlessly, as if thinking about many things.

  Quietly listening, with an extremely curious heart, he asked: "Then you, are you also thinking of becoming a Sword Emperor?"

  "Everyone hopes to have a broader sky, only when the strength is strong enough can they walk freely in any world, right?" Shen Du didn't answer Yan Mo's question directly, but instead asked it back to Yan Mo.

  "Alas!"

  Yan Mu heard the words, also a deep and long sigh, gloomy and hurt, said in a low and gentle voice: "How can it not be so? Jiuyou City is the world of demons, every demon wants to become the Demon Emperor, but there is only one Demon Emperor, everyone has to listen to his orders."

  "That's right, in any world, only those with enough power can control this world and live at ease without external interference." Shen Du said calmly, but he also had a thought in his mind, could Yan Mo also be a demon? But he didn't dare to confirm it, nor did he dare to speak out rashly.

  But Yan Muo heard a different tone, she was speculating in her heart, it seemed that Shen Dou's heart wasn't as warlike as he thought, he just wanted to get a more peaceful life. From this sentence alone, one can see the extremely cruel competition between swordsmen on the Lingzhou continent.

  They stood silently on the mountain path, not saying a word. Suddenly, Shen Dou smiled brightly and said, "Don't think too much about it either, this isn't the Spiritual State Continent. Let's head to Jiuyou City as soon as possible."

  Finally getting to the point, Tian Ya's face also showed an excited expression, gazing at the distant snow-capped mountains and smiling brightly: "I'm really looking forward to it, I wonder what kind of stories will happen when we get there."

  Shen Du was taken aback by the words, and chuckled lightly, saying: "Who can predict the future with certainty? Let's just focus on walking our current path for now." With that, he led the way eastward.

  Yan Yan tightly followed up and softly called out: "Shen Dou, wait for me."

  Shen Du heard this and turned around to gaze at Ke Ren's fields, smiling as he said: "The journey from here is quite far, I'm afraid we'll have to hurry up a bit." As he spoke, he touched the wound on his left shoulder that had still been throbbing in pain, only to unexpectedly discover that it had completely healed, and he couldn't feel even a hint of pain.

  Utterly shocked in his heart, yet without any expression.

  Yan Mu looked at Shen Du with curiosity and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"

  "Cough, cough." Shen looked around and saw that the lawn was not only empty but also extremely vast. Walking on foot would probably take at least half a day, so he turned to face Tian Mo, his face red with excitement, and suggested: "Why don't I carry you and use my lightness skill to hurry along? At this rate, who knows when we'll arrive."

  When Shen Du saw that shy look on her face, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, her beautiful eyes constantly avoiding Shen Du's expectant gaze, softly replying: "I'll do whatever you arrange."

  Then Shen Du slowly stretched out his right hand and wrapped it around the slender waist of Yan Mu, asking in an unnatural tone: "Are you ready?"

  Yan was hugged by him, and a faint blush appeared on his face. He was moved by the concern in this question, and his heart was stirred with spring waves. In a soft voice, he said: "I'm ready."

  Shen Du heard this and didn't hesitate at all. He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, sprang up into the air, and rapidly flew towards the snow-capped mountains in the east.

  But soon after, I saw a small hill with lush flowers and all kinds of mushrooms growing on it.

  Blue, red, green, multicolored, silver and white, you name it.

  Moreover, they emit a fragrance that wafts from their bodies, lingering in the void above the small mountain, forming a barrier similar to a seal.

  Shen Du was shocked and curiously asked: "What is that?"

  "It's just the Mushroom Mountain I told you about before. There are all sorts of mushrooms there, cultivating their magical powers and dreaming of one day transforming into human form to roam freely in the mountains."

  Shen Du's sharp eyes glanced at Yan Mo lightly, noticing that her face was filled with an inexplicable melancholy. He asked in puzzlement: "How did you find out about all this?"

  Shen Dou heard the words, his gaze wandered on Shen Dou's sharp eyes, bowed his head and pondered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, finally spoke.

  "To be honest with you, I am from that small mountain, and after cultivating for over 200 years, I have achieved my current form."

  "Oh?" Shen Du's face didn't show much shock, but the hand wrapped around Yan Mu's slender waist loosened slightly.

  "Ah, you're going to let go!" Yan Mu lightly exclaimed, scared out of her wits, and immediately hugged Shen Du's waist tightly.

  It suddenly occurred to Shen Du that she hadn't really let go of her, so she added: "Don't let go, I may be a demon, but I don't know any martial arts."

  "Oh? Then who healed my wound?" Shen Du asked in a low voice.

  "Well, I'll be honest with you, that's Holy Spirit Technique. Apart from healing others, it doesn't seem to have any other use." Yan Mu said indifferently, as if he wasn't particularly satisfied with his own abilities.

  But Shen Dou looked at Yan Mu with a surprised expression, his eyes gleaming as if he was looking at a rare treasure, and exclaimed excitedly and suspiciously: "You really have such ability?"

  "What? You don't believe me?" Yan Mo looked at Shen Du with a surprised expression.

  "No, I believe you, it's just that I've never heard of such an incredible ability in the world, so I'm just surprised for a moment." Shen Du said calmly, but secretly rejoiced in her heart. With Tian Mo by her side, going to Jiuyou City would be much easier, and if she was willing to leave Jiuyou City with him and head to the battlefield of Shachen, then the chances of defeating Modu would definitely increase greatly.

  "It's amazing, such an ability is quite unexpected." Yan Mu's face regained its innocence, as if eagerly awaiting Shen Du's answer.

  "Hmm, indeed it's quite unexpected to have such an extraordinary ability. I'm afraid any swordsman from the Spiritual State would want to befriend you." Shen Du said with a deep smile.

  This answer didn't disappoint Mu Yan at all, but instead made her feel happy. She smiled and said: "Does that include you? Do you also want to be friends with me?"

  "Of course, aren't we friends?" Shen Du teased, pinching Yan Mo's waist and grinning mischievously.

  "This should be it." Yan Mu's face turned slightly red as she spoke softly with her head down.

  Both of their hearts were filled with joy and excitement, feeling grateful and happy that they could meet each other in this lifetime.

  But then the strange fragrance of the mushroom mountain assailed his nostrils, causing Shen Dou to feel a wave of dizziness and almost fall from mid-air.

  Yan Mo also seemed to have sensed something, and immediately called out to Shen Du: "Let's go down first, the sky above Mugu Mountain is full of seals, wanting to fly over this place might not be that easy."

  Shen Du heard this and immediately descended towards the foot of the mountain below Mushroom Mountain.
