Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years-Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Death of the Extras!
For an entire night, Shen Changge sat upright on the bed in his own room.
This night.
He passed out many times. He felt like his brain had somewhat become jumbled up. He rubbed his head and scratched his fluffy hair in response to the headache he was feeling.
“Can I really not cultivate in this Empyrean Sword Manual at all?”
Shen Changge’s face looked extremely awful.
Training throughout the entire night, he only managed to understand the first two sentences.
Should one desire to train in this craft, sit facing west, you must. Out in the morning dew and the color of twilight, unsheathe your blade and sever your shaft...
Oh, not sever your shaft.
It was to incite your Divine Palace.
In fact, the word count in this sword manual could not be considered as too high. There were just another 14988 words that he could not understand.
A rooster crowed.
Shen Changge casually cleaned his defined and elegant face, took out a new white shirt from his closet as if it were a treasure, and placed the old one into a wash basket. The wash basket was already filled with his dirty white shirts. He could not help but mutter, “Why isn’t junior sister back yet? I should’ve asked my junior brothers when they came back yesterday...”
He sighed.
His fellowship with his sect mates was depicted perfectly at that moment, which was extremely worrying.
He pushed the door open.
The morning breeze swirled around him as if it was welcoming a rare visitor.
Early in the morning, Shen Changge was already walking towards the Sword Lord statue.
It was the second day of check-ins.
What would he get?
The morning sun lifted the veil of the thick dark mist and the light fought its way in. The land was hazy as if it was a realm of dreams.
Morning.
There were already lots of disciples at the Empyrean Sword Sect.
“Senior brother? Am I seeing a ghost? Has a demon snuck in disguised as senior brother?”
“Senior brother? Appearing before the sun is above our heads?”
Along the way, two disciples could not help but rub their blurry eyes as they looked at Shen Changge. They were on high alert, questioning whether or not the Shen Changge before them now had been transformed by a demon.
Shen Changge paid no attention to the eyes of these mortals.
With his hands behind his back, he walked forward in a straight line.
The two people from just now were Lee Siyun and Zhao Dashan.
One could tell that they were merely fodder just from their names. 𝒇𝒓𝗲e𝔀𝗲𝚋ｎoѵℯƖ. c𝑜m
What was there to pay attention to about them?
It was just that Shen Changge had never expected that there would be cocks crowing at the Empyrean Sword Sect in the morning. Maybe it was because he was usually dead asleep but he had never heard them before. Hearing it today gave him a special feeling. It felt as if he had returned to the time before the dark mist had shrouded the land, where hot-blooded youths would rise up upon hearing the crow of a rooster and practice with their swords! Though that did not really have anything to do with him.
What came into sight was a statue. It was that of a Sword Lord wielding a sword and looking into the distance, protecting the Empyrean Sword Sect like a guardian deity.
Of course.
Shen Changge knew that it was useless as sh*t.
It was no more than a tool that that geezer, Zhang Sanjian, would use to pressure people.
“Check-in.”
“Check-in Success +1”
“Obtained Cultivation Base of Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Sword Section *Ten years.”
Shen Changge’s pupils constricted!
All in an instant, while the outside world remained intact, the vestige of the passing of years flashed across his eyes as if he had spent 10 years in the mountains!
Ka-boom!
In his mind, it felt as if the heavy door he had been knocking on for a very long time opened abruptly!
All of a sudden, he gained a brand-new understanding of the Empyrean Sword Manual!
On the second day of checking in!
Shen Changge had actually gotten ten years’ worth of cultivation in the Empyrean Sword Manual for himself!
It was equivalent to Shen Changge spending a whole ten years in cultivation without sleeping, eating, or drinking.
“Ten years, and I’m just at Entry level...”
Shen Changge’s face looked extremely awful.
Yes.
With ten years’ worth of cultivation, Shen Changge was merely at Entry level!
That would imply that he had just managed to understand the Riding Sword Section of the Empyrean Sword Manual!
Shen Changge sighed.
“When God opens one door for you, he will always shut another one.”
...
His mentality was still on the positive side.
Once again, he walked to the training ground.
“Has senior brother gotten up on the wrong side of the bed?”
“He’s here at the training ground again? And this early in the morning?”
“D*mn it, is that really a demon?!”
Several disciples saw the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
Paying no attention to them, Shen Changge stood underneath the Sword Lord statue.
“Check-in.”
“Training Ground +1”
“Acquired Cultivation Base *Five years.”
Shen Changge was satisfied. Immediately after, his Cultivation Base stepped into Middle-stage Enlightenment.
...
As he had expected.
The more he checked in, the more rewards he would get.
Shen Changge’s check-ins on only the second day had gotten him into Entry level for the Empyrean Sword Manual and Middle-stage Enlightenment for his Cultivation Base.
Interesting.
Very interesting!
Paying no attention to the others’ strange gazes, Shen Changge left with his hands behind his back like he was some kind of powerhouse.
Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Sword Section, Entry level.
Also known as the Uprising.
Returning to his own room, Shen Changge hurriedly lifted his bed plank and took out three encased swords.
These were his swords.
They were the swords that he had bought with the Shen Family’s monstrous fortune when he first stepped foot in this world.
Riding Sword: Breeze
Styling Sword: Blazing Sun
Assaulting Sword: Bright Heaven
Their names might seem very impressive, but those blades were just of the Qi Gathering grade.
Qi Gathering Blades were the lowest level.
Above them were the True Spirit Blades and King Blades.
Though the blades were just of Qi Gathering grade, they were already extremely hard to come by in this secular world. This also signified the financial prowess of the Shen Family.
He picked up Breeze, reached into his mind, and – shiing!
The sword of Breeze in front of him was thin and sharp like a cicada’s wings. As Shen Changge raised the blade slightly, all in an instant, the Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Sword section began cycling in his mind!
The sword of Breeze hovered in mid-air!
It moved back and forth following Shen Changge’s thoughts!
He was controlling it as if he held it in his arms!
“It’s true that even regular Riding Sword techniques will allow people to do this. However, it will not be as flexible as this. Besides, the horrifying energy contained in the sword is definitely not something that regular Riding Sword techniques can compare to.”
Shen Changge could not help but think for a bit.
The Empyrean Sword Manual was far more superior than the other sword arts, even if it was just the Sword Riding Section!
“It’ll be great if I can get the Assaulting Sword Section in the future. I heard that with one single blade style, the great founder, Master Hun Tianyang, was hailed as a god in the world of cultivation and the pinnacle of combat artistry for a whole 3000 years...”
Shen Changge could not help but sigh.
With the Check-in System, he just had to check in quietly and then he could surprise everyone.
It seemed that for Shen Changge, he did not need to cultivate at all.
After all, he could acquire Cultivation Base just by checking in.
The increments were given in amounts of eight to ten years.
To be completely honest, in the case of Shen Changge, even if he were to sit in meditating posture and cultivate for an entire day, his improvement would only be like a drop in the bucket.
“It’ll be great if my talent is unparalleled, and I can cultivate at a rapid pace.
“But for a rotten egg like me, I might as well just check-in secretly.”
Upon finishing, Shen Changge laid down on his bed.
The sound of snores continued.
...
The sun was riding high.
Shen Changge woke up from his bed amid blurriness.
Hearing something that seemed like a commotion coming from outside, he opened his window.
“Lee Siyun and Zhao Dashan are dead...”
Shen Changge was stunned for a moment.
Those two extras...
They died so quickly?
Wasn’t that a little too fast?!
Shen Changge shuddered in spite of himself. If someone in the sword sect died, that would mean that demons might have infiltrated them!
The Empyrean Sword Sect was safe no more!
This wouldn’t do.
Although Shen Changge used to wash his face with suicide notes every day, who would be willing to die after acquiring a system like that?
One day, I’ll slaughter my way out of the dark mist.
There are still too many relics shrouded in the black mist. When I uncover them, I can bind them all as check-in locations!
If any demons come at me, I will just slaughter them all.
