Chapter 845: There Is No End To Knowledge

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The changes were completely unexpected for Jiang Hao.

According to the swordsman, no one had cleaned this place in many years. Leaving it dirty for another day wouldnt have been a problem. Unfortunately, someone had taken away his chance the moment he had reached here.

However, he knew who the traitor was.

Master of the Heavenly Tower.

The person who could make all twelve Heavenly Kings fear and respect him. He was a person who had emerged from the Abyssal Sea.

Looking at the three people, Jiang Hao felt a mix of emotions.

Back when he had traveled with Hong Yuye, he had met them briefly.

He didnt know if they recognized him. He had used another appearance before.

This time, he traveled as himself. With Hong Yuye there, they might not recognize him.

If Bi Zhu couldnt recognize him, he didnt think others could.

Mr. Tao didnt react. So, Jiang Hao knew he was looking at an unfamiliar face.

Is there really an opportunity here? Jiang Hao asked.

He looked at the dirt and wanted to wipe it with a piece of cloth. There is. Tang Ya nodded. I can feel that this stone monument is not simple. The middle-aged swordsman was astonished. Why cant I feel it then?

Your eyes arent as sharp as mine, Tang Ya said while wiping away the dirt.

Jiang Hao looked at the stone monument and found that it wasnt inscribed with the Sages Pages. However, it had some words at the front:

There is no end to knowledge.

There is no end to knowledge This was left behind by that gentleman. It was said that he had great knowledge about everything more than anyone in the Astronomical Academy. He knew many things, but his cultivation and talent werent as great as those Elders who reside in the backyard of the academy. Mr. Tao sighed.

Jiang Hao didnt care about that. He just wanted to add some more words to the phrase.

The journey of this man was extremely difficult. With his talent, he wouldnt have reached such a high position, let alone become a renowned scholar in the academy, Zhu Shen said with respect. I wonder when he came here.

The middle-aged swordsman wanted to say, Isnt this the traitor everyone hates?

But he couldnt say it aloud. He saw that the other two admired and respected this person. So, he didnt want to say something inappropriate. Jiang Hao didnt pay much attention to Mr. Tao and the others.

The path of a strong cultivator was never easy.

Jiang Hao sighed and took out his pen.

Can I add some more words to that phrase?

Feel free to do so, friend. Mr. Tao smiled. We are just visitors and dont Imow the rules here. This place seems like it is never cleaned. It should be fine.

Jiang Hao nodded and then stood quietly in front of the stone monument.

He didnt care if others saw his writing. His handwriting wasnt really that bad.

Others nearby were watching him. They were curious about what this person would leave behind.

Hong Yuye felt the same.

Jiang Hao didnt care about these people or their opinions. So, he wasnt afraid even if he embarra.s.sed himself by doing this.

He just wanted to leave a mark on the stone monument. That was it.

He didnt know if what he wrote would be in accordance with whoever had written down the words here.

After a while, Jiang Hao put away his pen and ink.

Tang Ya looked at the stone monument. There is a path to the mountain of books, but there is no end to learning.

Lets go. Jiang Hao turned around and looked at Hong Yuye.

She nodded and followed him.

Mr. Tao looked at the writing with some emotion. For a moment, he understood how such a person could reach great heights.

Apart from them, the person who felt the impact of it most deeply was the middle-aged swordsman.

He recognized the words and understood the meaning of the sentence.

He got teary-eyed without even knowing.

Since childhood, he had used the sword and had wanted to become a swordsman.

Unfortunately, whenever he felt hards.h.i.+ps, he felt like giving up. Even if he wanted to continue forward, he would slack off in his practice.

He had neither talent nor discipline.

Having achieved nothing significant, he felt that he had rejected opportunities that were right in front of him.

He knew he lacked real talent and knowledge, so he didnt dare accept rewards and opportunities.

He hadnt felt bitter before. But now, this simple phrase had opened a dam in him. He felt ashamed.

Its too late really too late.

He was over forty. He didnt think he could continue wielding his word.

He could only carry it by his side as a decoration.

Then, people would occasionally invite him out to drinks just because he had little knowledge about things.

Senior Suddenly, someone interrupted his thoughts.

He saw the young man looking back at him.

Are you calling me? The middle-aged swordsman looked puzzled. Yes. Jiang Hao nodded. Senior, do you still remember your wish? My wish? The middle-aged swordsman was confused.

Yes. You said you wanted to fly, said Jiang Hao.

The middle-aged swordsman smiled. Indeed, I did say that.

Take the sword off your back and place it on the ground, Jiang Hao said.

The swordsman didnt understand him but still did it.

Stand on it, Jiang Hao said.

The middle-aged swordsman was puzzled, but his feet were on the sword at the first moment.

Follow me, Jiang Hao said softly and then stepped into the sky.

The middle-aged man was stunned. Before he could begin to think, the sword under his feet emitted a sound and then lifted him. He was flying! The wind whistled in his ears, and the streets became smaller. The city was under his feet!

He felt a bit frightened but also excited.

He was flying in the air!

He saw mountains, rivers, and streams beneath him. In the blink of an eye, it was several miles away.

That was a great mountain that would take him a long time to cross on foot.

Below, Hong Yuye stood in the alley and looked at the stone monument.

The stone monument began to change, and the words written by Jiang Hao were gradually engraved on it. It was as though the monument acknowledged it.

In just a few breaths, a complete sentence appeared on the stone monument. There is a path to the mountain of books, but there is no end to learning. Then, a burst of light erupted from it, but no one was interested in it.

Only a few people saw it.

Did you sense it? Mr. Zhu was surprised.

Yes. Mr. Tao nodded. Will you ask him about it?

I will.

After that, the two turned around but found no one behind.

What a pity Zhu Shen sighed.

This is actually good. Mr. Tao smiled.

Tang Ya looked at the two of them and pretended like she hadnt heard their conversation.

She continued to wipe away the dirt on the stone monument.

After a long time, the middle-aged swordsman stopped in front of a city. He had asked to stop here.

He felt quite sentimental when he watched Jiang Hao disappear in thin air.

So, flying in the air feels like this

He was still a little teary-eyed. He looked at the city gate and sighed softly.

I traveled for half my life and didnt turn back. I never thought I would come back here

He entered through the city gate, crossed the street, and finally stayed in front of a dojo.

He saw an old man in his sixties teaching people martial arts.

The old man looked at the swordsman in anger, but he also looked a bit sad.

You You still show your face here?

The middle-aged man walked to the old man and knelt. Father, I want to properly learn the way of the sword.

The old man felt as though he had traveled back in time when a child was Imeeling right at the same spot and asking him to teach him swordplay.

That child was now a middle-aged man of forty. The old man said what he had said thirty years ago, Alright.

The middle-aged swordsman knelt lower.

He knew that there was a chance to be an immortal in this world, but it wasnt a chance for someone as ordinary and mediocre as him.

If he could do so in the future, he wanted to make sure he was worthy of an immortals fate.

Father, is it too late for me to learn the sword at the age of forty?

Its not too late. Its just right..
