Chapter 296: 296, Catching the Moon Barehanded (Requesting monthly tickets at the end of the month!)

Inside the crystal, the reflection of the moon was beautiful.

Its color was not the same as the usual moon you see at night; it was an aqua color.

The Great Sects typically had their own favorite signature colors. For example, the color of the Demon Sect was black, from Sect Master Shen Yan down to the Outer Sect Disciples, they were all clad in black robes or skirts.

However, One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain preferred the aqua color.

The disciples from these two Sword Sects dressed in aqua robes, just like Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi.

It was evident that the moon’s reflection in the well was a mark, and it was the “garden gate” of the “Moon in the Well”!

If you could withstand its test, you could go inside,

This test was referred to as “Moon Rush” by One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.

However, the trolling players thought that “Catching the Moon” was a more appropriate term.

Whenever they talked about catching the moon, they thought of monkeys trying to catch the moon, as if everyone was a monkey.

What’s wrong with being King Jiji for once?

Anyway, the trolling players didn’t mind at all.

Ji Li took a glance at the moon’s reflection in the water and exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful!”

The moon’s reflection in the water indeed was beautiful because it was ethereal yet brilliant.

These two attributes seemed incompatible, yet they overlapped on it.

More importantly, the moon’s reflection carried a sword’s aura, which naturally felt familiar to Sword Cultivators.

Hearing her words, Lu Xun lowered his head to look at the moon’s reflection again. He felt indifferent, it did not move him at all.

“Is it really that beautiful? I don’t see it.” thought Lu Xun to himself.

Upon hearing Ji Li’s words, Ping Shanhai laughed and said, “This is the Sword Mark, left by our ancestors. It’s an amazing sign.”

After saying that, he turned to Ye Sui’an and said, “Sui An, why don’t you explain the details of this challenge.”

Ye Sui’an nodded, enthusiastically, like a tour guide, she began to explain it to Lu Xun.

The content of this challenge was consistent with what Lu Xun remembered, it did not deviate, just like when he faced the Ghost’s Grief.

What one needed to do in this challenge was to get close to the moon’s reflection.

The moon’s reflection seemed to be there, but actually, it was a deceptive distance – it was like a mirage.

The catch was, whether it was far or near really depended on the strength of your Sword Heart.

You would have to use your Sword Heart to attract it, get closer to it.

The stronger your Sword Heart, the closer you could get to it.

Usually, you reach out and activate your Sword Heart to get the moon’s reflection within ten meters which constituted a valid distance.

The reflection would then imprint a mark in your palm, which would act as a pass for the entrance of “Moon in the Well”.

Lu Xun glanced at Ji Li, gently patted her shoulder, and said, “Ji Li, you go first.”

“Okay!” Ji Li happily agreed.

She felt that it was good for her to go first, as it would allow Lu Xun to gauge the test and figure out how exactly it worked, which would be beneficial for his performance.

She was more than happy to contribute to Lu Xun’s progress.

Although she was overthinking, the actual reason Lu Xun let her go first was that he failed the previous Spirit Lamp test.

If he happened to ruin the Moon’s reflection as well, then little Li’zi wouldn’t be able to give her test.

It’s better to be safe, so let her go first.

After all, he had achieved the Great Perfection of Sword Heart, there’s no reason for him to fail the test. The only thing unknown was the final result.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ji Li walked up to the well, reached her hand into it, and then silently closed her eyes.

It was amazing, she found that even though her eyes were closed, as long as she activated her Sword Heart, she could “see” the moon’s reflection in the well!

“So this is the Sword Mark?” Ji Li thought to herself.

The founding patriarch of Sword Mountain, who could manage to make Boundary Monuments into spirits, would logically leave a Sword Mark with hidden mysteries, and this was nothing strange.

Fortunately, Ji Li’s talent was always great. When she sacrificed her brain to focus on her chest, she didn’t give up her cultivation talent.

She had already developed her Sword Heart, and currently, she was on the threshold of Sword Intent.
