Although the legend of the Sword-hidden Mountain was very tempting to the people in Wulin, they were also very clear that John Doe had become the most unique one in Wulin since his sudden appearance.
Just see what he got. At first, he sold the Earth Treasure, then he got the Heaven Treasure, Guru Sword, and so on. They were all good things. Many people even wondered if John Doe was a treasure-seeking machine.
Now John Doe was comprehending the Sword Enlightenment Stele. Nobody was sure that the legendary divine sword in the Sword-hidden Mountain would not be obtained by John Doe.
It would be best if there was no such thing. What if there was?
Of course, the top and first-class forces in Wulin did not need a legendary divine sword to be famous. Even if they got it by chance, it was just icing on the cake.
But in comparison, for those second-class forces and lone swordsmen who liked the freedom, that sword was a sharp weapon for them to enhance their strength.
A divine sword would not only improve their combat capability but also enhance their strength to a higher level so that their forces could be promoted to a high rank!
A second-class force could be elevated to the first-class because of this divine sword!
It was undoubtedly tempting.
The second-class forces in Wulin all sent people to the Sword-hidden Mountain to keep an eye on John Doe and check the situation first. If John Doe got nothing, it would not be too late to comprehend the stele.
At the same time, there were also a lot of lone swordsmen who couldn’t resist the temptation of the legend. They began to rush to the Sword-hidden Mountain, ready to see what the Sword Enlightenment Stele looked like and if they could get an opportunity.
At the same time, an elder dressed very thickly in a ragged turban drank all the soup in the bowl in a few mouthfuls in a small noodle restaurant in Huaxia. Then he stood up, held a long sword tightly wrapped in rags. He wiped his mouth and walked out while taking out a very old-fashioned phone that was kept very well.
“John Doe?”
After reading the phone, the elder carefully wrapped it up with a piece of cloth and put it into the inner bag of his coat. Then he gently stroked the long sword in his arms. Suddenly his eyes burst out a cold light. He murmured, “The top one among the younger generation? You’d better not get the divine sword in the Sword-hidden Mountain. Even if you get it, it would be mine!”
The elder immediately walked to the local station. His target was Tongnan!
On the third floor of Dayin Detective Agency in a village in the north of Jiangjing was He Gaoming’s base camp, which only belonged to him. In the past, every time Fang Qiu came here, he couldn’t see anyone or hear any sound.
But now, compared with the previous silence, today’s detective agency was full of people.
In addition to He Gaoming, who was sitting at his desk smoking a cigar and pretending to be a boss, there were more than 30 people in the room.
To take a closer look, in addition to Liang Fen and the other seven people, the rest were all people who came back from the island with He Gaoming.
The spacious detective agency suddenly became crowded with the arrival of more than 30 people. He Gaoming went to the second-hand furniture store nearby and bought a sofa and a very large carpet at his own expense to greet everyone. Only then did they have a place to rest.
After all, they were all Wulin people who were used to sitting in meditation, so they all gathered on the carpet and sat down on the sofa reluctantly when they really couldn’t find a position.
“Well, is there anything wrong with Boss?” someone asked suddenly.
They were all martial arts practitioners, so they paid special attention to the Wulin forum. Therefore, the message that John Doe appeared on the Sword-hidden Mountain to comprehend the Sword Enlightenment Stele was immediately spread on the forum.
Since the message had spread, everyone had been paying attention to the Wulin forum, because there were too many people who were interested in comprehending the Sword Enlightenment Stele in the forum.
Without anyone leading them, everyone spontaneously looked at each comment carefully, for fear that someone would hurt John Doe.
In the end, they found that more and more people were interested in the Sword-hidden Mountain, but these people did not show any thoughts of harming John Doe, nor any intention of fighting for the divine sword.
Therefore, everyone was worried.
After all, the legendary divine sword was simply too alluring.
“Yes, this divine sword seems to be very powerful. Now so many people wanted the divine sword in the Sword-hidden Mountain, and Boss has gone to comprehend the stele first. Do you think there will be someone afraid that Boss John Doe will succeed first and attack Boss?”
“I feel that no matter where Boss goes, he can cause great trouble!”
“I’m feeling that Wulin is going to be in chaos with no reason. Especially I haven’t even heard of the legend of the Sword-hidden Mountain before. Why did it spread as soon as Boss went?”
“I think someone must be targeting Boss.”
“Although Boss is very strong and is recognized as the top one among the younger generation in Wulin, there are too many people. I think we must go to the Sword-hidden Mountain. At least when Boss needs us, we can help him in time.”
The discussion was endless.
In front of the desk, seeing that these people were so concerned about his master, He Gaoming smiled with satisfaction and then said, “What are you talking about? My master is a man with great luck. I have never seen him in an unfavorable situation. Don’t worry.”
Hearing this, they thought. “Although what he said was true, as the disciple of John Doe, He Gaoming was too casual, wasn’t he?”
“Then, what should we do now?” Liang Fen asked, “are we just waiting here?”
“Yes!”
He Gaoming nodded casually and said, “What we need to do is to improve our strength. As for the Sword-hidden Mountain, we just need to wait for the message.”
“But…”
“Is it really good to leave Boss alone?”
“Although Boss doesn’t know that we have already recognized him as our boss, it’s okay that only we know it. Since Boss is in trouble, how can we do nothing?”
They spoke out one after another.
“I know you’re doing this for my master’s good,” He Gaoming stood up and said, “but have you ever thought about what we can do if we went to the Sword-hidden Mountain now? Can we really help him with our strength?”
“I believe you’ve heard that I almost died when my master destroyed Luo Yin Sect. Do you know that?”
“For me, death is not terrible. What’s terrible is that I dragged my master down at that time. My master had the strength to destroy Luo Yin Sect, but he could only take me away and be misunderstood!”
“Although he avenged himself, if it weren’t for me, my master should have been able to prove himself on the spot and wouldn’t have been criticized by others!”
Speaking of this, He Gaoming stopped with red eyes.
He believed that everyone could understand what he meant, so there was no need to continue.
As was expected, hearing He Gaoming’s words, everyone was silent.
They were indeed too weak now. What if they went there? Was it to express their intentions or to become a burden?
In the face of those Wulin forces and experts, was it really helpful for them to go there?
It was not useless, but it would definitely do more harm than good!
Thinking of this, everyone stopped arguing and calmed down. Under the leadership of He Gaoming, they stopped talking about the Sword-hidden Mountain and began to exchange their cultivation experience with each other.
After sending off the elder, Fang Qiu just sat there motionlessly and looked at the word “sword” on the stele in front of the Sword Enlightenment Stele in the Sword-hidden Mountain.
He observed not only the whole, but also the tip of the pen, the aura, and so on.
As he watched carefully, the first day passed without him noticing.
One day passed, Fang Qiu got nothing.
In front of him, the stele was still the same one, so was the word on it.
However, Fang Qiu was well prepared. The elder asked him to comprehend for seven days. If he could comprehend it on the first day, it would be too easy.
“If I can’t see anything, what about violence?” he thought.
Then Fang Qiu closed his eyes and quietly activated his internal Qi to try to hit the stele through the air. He wanted to use his internal Qi to connect himself with the stele and resonate with it.
However, it was still useless.
It seemed not to work for the stele.
However, Fang Qiu didn’t give up. Instead, he kept controlling his internal Qi to maintain the connection between himself and the stele.
Another day passed soon. Fang Qiu still got nothing.
“Alas!”
With a sigh, Fang Qiu shook his head and said to himself, “It seems that the resonance is really useless.”
Then he gave a wry smile.
He had thought it too simple about comprehending the Sword Enlightenment Stele. If comprehending it was really so simple, how could it be possible for no one to fully comprehend it in more than 2,000 years?
After two whole days of comprehending, Fang Qiu was a little tired.
Immediately, he closed his eyes and emptied his body and mind.
He recalled what the elder had said to him in his mind.
“Is it going to resonate with the Qi of Heaven and Earth here?” Fang Qiu thought suddenly.
“This is the Sword-hidden Mountain. It’s a whole. Maybe what we really comprehend is not the stele, but the whole Sword-hidden Mountain, or even the heaven and earth of it.”
So he began to try.
On the third day, those people in Wulin who were tempted by the legendary divine sword, as well as those from the second-class forces, came to the Sword-hidden Mountain one after another.
As soon as they arrived, these people, like Fang Qiu, first walked around to observe the mountain and the situation. Without getting anything, they walked to the stele in the valley and sat down cross-legged like Fang Qiu, trying to see if they could comprehend something.
Of course, in addition to these people, some people came for fun and casually comprehended the stele. Without disturbing anyone, they took some photos carefully and sent them directly to the Wulin forum.
In the past few days, the Wulin forum had become extremely lively because of the Sword-hidden Mountain. These photos undoubtedly attracted a lot of people’s attention.
They clicked the post and saw the photos. Then they were stunned.
“What the f*ck, so many people?”
“There are too many people. How can we comprehend the stele?”
“What’s going on? It’s too late for us to catch up!”
