However, in the next moment, his mind once again became as firm as iron.
After taking a heavy step onto the 201st step, the scene in front of Chen Yu changed yet again.
It was a hill the size of a mound.
On the hill, there were two thatched huts.
The house was dilapidated, a stain on the land under the Tang Dynasty's golden age.
However, it had yet to be forcefully dismantled. The reputation of the owner of the grass hut was great, and his martial arts were high.
From what Chen Yu knew, the chairman of this thatched cottage was known as the number one person in the world!
Furthermore, this number one was not a self-deceptive self-proclaimed title. It was a personal plaque written by the current emperor.
Currently, the signboard of "Number One Sword in the World" was still hung in the middle of the thatched cottage.
However, as Chen Yu looked at the bird poop that was scattered all over the place, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. This signboard was probably the worst royal gift that he had gotten his hands on.
"Old man, I am not an extravagant person, but I still have a basic material goal. At the very least, you are the number one sword technique under the heavens, which has been personally bestowed by the current Emperor. Chen Yu could not help but ask.
"What do you know? That's what you call a sword immortal's demeanor. No matter how many people learn it, they won't be able to do it." The old man said proudly. If not for the fact that his legs that trembled in the cold wind had betrayed him, Chen Yu would have believed him already.
"Old man, after you die, do you have any more precious legacies left to me other than these two broken houses? You wouldn't want to see your only disciple living on the streets, right?" Chen Yu casually asked.
"…" After the old man heard what Chen Yu had said, he became a little worried.
On this day, Chen Yu could not bear the pain of being exposed to the sun and wind every day. He took the broken sword, which was the only thing he had left behind, and left the small mountain.
He wanted to roam the martial arts world and become the most famous man in the world like his master.
Then, he would use the silver that he had earned to build two small thatched cottages into luxurious courtyards, and peacefully accompany his master in his later years.
At that time, it was already early winter.
Chen Yu was rushing on the official road, coincidentally caught up with the light snow falling from the sky.
Seeing an abandoned temple on the side of the road, he hurried to take shelter from the snow.
When he entered the temple, he found that there were already two groups of people roasting the flames.
The first group consisted of a boy and a girl.
From the looks of it, the other team should be the knife artist that dealt in medicinal herbs.
When Chen Yu entered, the two teams looked at him.
When they saw that Chen Yu's tattered clothes and the things behind him were just a handful, the few blade artists immediately ignored it and began to lower their heads to roast it.
On the other hand, that young man and woman pretended to clasp their hands together, and greeted Chen Yu passionately with the words "I have heard a lot".
After a brief conversation, Chen Yu found out their names.
The woman's name was Yue'er.
The man's name was Li Kunlun.
The two of them were the same as him. They wanted to travel the martial arts world, make a name for themselves, and return home in glory.
After chatting for a while, the three youngsters were able to get along, so they decided to travel together in the future.
In the middle of the night, Yue'er saw that the swordsmen seemed to be asleep, so she urged the dazed Li Kunlun to steal the wine and drink.
Li Kunlun obediently listened to Yue'er's orders and stole the wine.
The result could be imagined. Those swordsmen were people who had aged the martial arts world. How could they really fall asleep and just pretend to be asleep?
Li Kunlun was caught red-handed. The assassin was so angry that he wanted to break Li Kunlun's hand. Yue'er was so frightened that her face paled.
Just then, Chen Yu stood out and stopped the assassin.
Therefore, Chen Yu relied on this matter to establish his prestige, and became Yue'er and Li Kunlun's "peerlessly high sword" big brother.
From then on, Yue'er insisted on learning sword techniques from Chen Yu.
Li Kunlun had to follow Yue'er.
Thus, the three of them took their places in the martial arts world, searching for strange people and famous masters.
Sometimes, in order to get their moves, they would have to travel through mountains and rivers, and sleep in the open air.
However, every time they learned a powerful martial skill, they would be in high spirits and share their experiences.
Although the three of them had been working hard during this period of time, their strength had increased very quickly.
Sometimes, in order to test out the might of their moves, they would work together to challenge the bandits' lair.
Sometimes, they were short of money and would help the government capture some criminals who wanted to place a bounty on them.
When a few well-connected young people get together, they can also become happy if they suffer.
Moreover, to Chen Yu, cultivation was an incomparably happy thing to begin with.
Slowly, Chen Yu discovered that Yue'er secretly had feelings for him. Li Kunlun naturally realized this too, although he was disappointed, he didn't say anything.
However, Chen Yu's sword technique was now in a bottleneck.
In order to break through his bottleneck, Chen Yu decided to go to the Northern Lands to look for the legendary Sword Immortal.
This was because he had heard that old fogey had learned his sword techniques from that place.
The sword immortals of the Northern Lands were all illusory legends, thus Chen Yu naturally could not bring Yue'er and Li Kunlun along.
Yue'er and Li Kunlun seemed to have also felt Chen Yu's decisiveness, so they did not try to persuade him otherwise.
After that meal, the three went their separate ways.
Afterwards, Chen Yu spent ten years but was still unable to find the Northern Sword Immortal.
As for his two good friends, Yue'er and Li Kunlun, they had made quite a name for themselves in the martial arts world.
Yue Er became the head of the Pure Maiden School and never married.
Li Kunlun, on the other hand, founded the Karakorum, and became the world's number one expert!
Time passed by quickly.
Another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
In this short amount of time, a young master had appeared in the martial arts world.
This young expert came from a foreign race, and his surname was Xiahou.
He had specially challenged all sorts of experts to prove that he was the best in the world.
In ten years, Xiahou Jue's footsteps had traveled throughout the north and south of the Tang Dynasty.
Almost all the experts from the famous sects were defeated by Dugu Jue.
Currently, there were only two targets left for Xiahou Jue.
One was from the Su Clan in the north, and the other was from the Kunlun Sect in the south.
As long as he defeats the Sect Leaders of the two powerful northern and southern sects, he would be worthy of being called the number one person in the world!
Xiahou Jue's first choice was the Pure Maiden Sect.
However, no one expected that Yue'er, the leader of the sect, would actually die at the hands of Xiahou Jue in this battle.
In less than three days, the sect master of the Kunlun Sect had rushed from the south to the north, attempting to kill Xiahou Jue.
However, no one could have imagined that after his battle with Xiahou Jue, he would not even last ten moves before being killed on the spot.
The entire martial arts world was thrown into chaos afterwards.
It was as if everyone could see the future of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Xiahou Jue became famous in one battle, his arrogance soaring to the heavens …
