Max-Level Learning Ability: Facing The Cliff And Repenting For 80 Years

Chapter 12: Saint Entering the Mortal World

With the rain pouring heavily, the young man walked out of the Stele Forest and reached the edge of the Repentance Cliff.

Before him lay a sea of clouds, the gray clouds rolling like overlapping waves.

The Heavenly Path Sect was 45,000 kilometers away from the Yuhua Sect.

That was why Wu Shaobai's sword attack was also 45,000 kilometers long.

The two figures—one transparent and the other solid—stood side by side in front of the sea of clouds.

"Did you really comprehend the Path of the Saint?" Li Qingshan asked amidst the rain.

"If I had 10 more years to live, I would have been able to bring a Saint into the human world," Wu Shaobai answered regretfully.

"Are you going to destroy the Heavenly Path Sect?" Li Qingshan asked.

"I want to save my wife," Wu Shaobai replied. "It's because of me that she is imprisoned in the Monster Refining Tower for 40 years. This strike will split apart the Monster Refining Tower!"

"I do not have a sword!" Li Qingshan said honestly. He did not even have a scrap of metal.

"All the flowers, the grass, and the trees in the world can be used as swords," Wu Shaobai said to Li Qingshan. "Do not be restricted by form. Close your eyes!"

Li Qingshan closed his eyes.

"Boom!"

The next second, another consciousness appeared in his body, guiding his Great River Sword Qi.

"Watch closely. This is the real strength of the true Great River Sword Qi." A voice that seemed to come from thousands of years ago resonated in Li Qingshan's ears.

From then on, Li Qingshan was no longer in control of his own body. The Sword Qi poured out of his body like a raging river and formed itself like a great river above the sea of clouds.

The great river was mighty. Every drop of it was made of Sword Qi.

Li Qingshan felt like a bystander. His spiritual consciousness was separated as he watched his own body from the sidelines.

He unsheathed his sword and looked up.

In the next second, the mighty Great River Sword Qi surged out, attracting the attention of thousands of people on this rainy night.

The aggressive Sword Qi swept out for 45,000 kilometers.

Countless powerful figures were alerted and looked up to the sky in shock.

The strong figures of the Yuhua Sect were the first to sense this. They looked up and watched as the Great River Sword Qi cut across the sky, surprise written all over their faces.

The current Yuhua Sect leader raised his head as he faced the rain. He was shocked. "This... This is Senior Brother Shaobai's Sword Qi!" he murmured.

About 40 years ago, he was the second disciple of the Yuhua Sect and followed Wu Shaobai around everywhere.

He was very familiar with the Great River Sword Qi, so he recognized right away that this was Wu Shaobai's.

"Is Senior Brother Shaobai still alive?" The current Yuhua Sect Leader got excited. He had a sudden urge to go to the Repentance Cliff immediately to check on Wu Shaobai's stele.

But behind him, an elder with dark hair and youthful features appeared. The man looked up at the distant Great River Sword Qi and said sadly, "Do not disturb Shaobai anymore. This is his final attack. After this, Wu Shaobai will no longer exist in the world."

The current Yuhua Sect Leader turned around and called out respectfully, "Master!"

This youthful-looking elder was the former Yuhua Sect Leader. He was also the master of both Wu Shaobai and the current leader.

"It seems that we both have made mistakes," the youthful elder said regretfully. "I could not protect Shaobai, while you could not protect Li Qingshan. We destroyed two top geniuses because we couldn't handle the pressure from the Heavenly Path Sect."

The current Yuhua Sect Leader craned his neck once more. He fell into deep silence as he watched the magnificent Sword Qi.

This sword blow was one of a kind. Wu Shaobai's most brilliant attack, paired with the Great River Sword Qi, transformed itself into a powerful blow.

It crossed 45,000 kilometers. On that momentous night, countless strong figures came out and stared at in shock.

It was as if the galaxy had been overturned and came crashing down, causing people to shake in fear.

The dark clouds that were in the path of the Great River Sword Qi exploded one after the other. Even the heavy downpour stopped abruptly as if out of fright.

At this moment, the strong figures who had reached the peak of the Great Venerable Plane witnessed the scene before them and began to sob, beyond themselves with emotion and excitement.

"A Saint has finally come to the world!"

They yelled in excitement, unable to control themselves. From a single sword stroke, they were able to catch a glimpse into the cultivation state that was beyond the Great Venerable Plane.

The human world had not had a Saint for 3,000 years.

These strong figures who had already reached the peak of the Great Venerable Plane had their own fair share of struggles as well. Having reached their limits, knowing that their future path was cut off, they could not see any hope for themselves at all, besides just solemnly waiting for their deaths.

But at this moment when they were able to witness the coming of a Saint, how could they not get excited?

Although it was just one stroke, to them, it was proof that their future was not as hopeless as it may seem.

At the very least, they were finally able to see a glimmer of hope.

At that moment, countless strong figures who had reached the peak of the Great Venerable Plane followed the beam of Sword Qi. They wanted to find out what the Sword Qi was about to do.

After following it for 45,000 kilometers, they all saw the gates of the Heavenly Path Sect, the strongest sect in the human world.

"This Sword Qi is aimed at the Heavenly Path Sect?"

"Did the Heavenly Path Sect offend someone?"

"Can the Heavenly Path Sect fend off this attack from a Saint?"

The Great Venerables communicated with one another briefly but continued to watch quietly. No one wanted to be involved.

Within the Heavenly Path Sect, a hundred Great Venerables lay waiting, prepared to block this beam of Sword Qi.

However, after crossing 45,000 kilometers, the Great River Sword Qi's force had reached its peak. As if transformed into a boundless starry sky, it fell like a fallen galaxy. The deafening sound of the Great River falling rumbled endlessly.

The Great Venerables of the Heavenly Path Sect were instantly washed away. They had all suffered a great blow. They watched as the Great River Sword Qi hacked down the core of the Heavenly Path Sect—the Monster Refining Tower!

"No!" the current Heavenly Path Sect Leader roared in a mix of anger and shock.

The Monster Refining Tower imprisoned countless monsters, demons, and humans who had gone against the Heavenly Path Sect.

If they were to be set free, then this would cause a huge trouble for the Heavenly Path Sect .

But in a second, the sword hacked down on the Monster Refining Tower.

Even though the Monster Refining Tower had been sealed with countless sealing matrices, all of these were instantly shattered in one blow. The Great River Sword Qi poured down, rolling angrily. It was truly unbeatable!

"Crack!"

A divine sound had filled the entire sky so loud that everyone watching would have heard it.

The Monster Refining Tower had split into two.

Next, a huge gale swept over, and the heavy rain started to pour once again.

But this time, the wind and the rain swept the countless beings who had been trapped by the Heavenly Path Sect right into the world.

They had followed the Great River Sword Qi and had managed to escape easily.

When the people of the Heavenly Path Sect saw this, they were left dumbfounded and felt a wild anger surfacing from within.

"The Great River Sword Qi! This is Wu Shaobai's doing!" the present Heavenly Path Sect Leader roared in anger.

His voice had resonated from all directions. Now, everyone knew that this Sword Qi was the Great River Sword Qi from Wu Shaobai, the genius of Yuhua Sect from 40 years ago.

Back at the Repentance Cliff, Yuhua Sect ---

Li Qingshan's mind had returned to his body after he delivered the sword attack. He had gained control of his body again.

After he had witnessed the mind-blowing scene, Li Qingshan called out softly.

"Senior..."

"Senior..."

"Senior..."

But there was no response. Li Qingshan waited in disappointment.

The top genius of the Yuhua Sect, along with a sword stroke that shone bright and intense amidst the rain and wind, had finally disappeared from the world.

Only Li Qingshan had remained, quietly reflecting on the state Wu Shaobai was in earlier just before he performed the sword attack.

"I think I am ready to enter the Ascension Plane now," Li Qingshan mumbled to himself.

He strongly believed that once he had digested this information tonight, he would be able to make a huge breakthrough after.
