Chapter 656 – The Clumsy Sword
Chapter 656 The Clumsy Sword
The young man nodded obediently, “Master’s lesson is.”
“When practicing the sword, you have to be dedicated, only with full concentration can the mind and spirit be united, and bring the sword intent to its fullest.”
After teaching the teenager a lesson, the old man’s face slightly slowed down, “Tell me, why did you lose concentration just now?”
The teenager thought for a moment and truthfully said, “Master said that our swordsmanship was able to crush the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so I felt a little funny and forgot that I was still practicing my sword.”
The old man’s face was a bit unnatural, not expecting the teenager to actually be lost in thought because of this matter.
“What’s so funny? How is our Golden Light Sect’s sword technique not comparable to the mere Ten Thousand Swords Sect anymore?”
The teenager said seriously, “But the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has two YuanYing cultivators alone, and when they blow their breath, they can blow down our Golden Light Sect’s mountain.”
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and eyes out, but he was powerless to refute the fact that this was the case.
“Sword techniques, I’m talking about sword techniques! His Ten Thousand Swords Sect has only produced some YuanYing and Jindan cultivators due to the fact that it has more people and occupies the spiritual veins.
Our cultivation is inferior to theirs, but our sword skills may not be inferior to theirs!”
The teenager was silent, but in his heart, he didn’t quite agree.
His own master’s sword skill was formidable, but the gap between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Yuanying Stage was too great, in front of a Yuanying cultivator, his master was afraid that he wouldn’t even have the time to draw his sword, right?
However, these heartfelt words, it is better not to say it, otherwise the master will be anxious again.
Seeing that his disciple agreed with his words, the old man nodded his head in satisfaction, “Go to the side and practice your sword.”
After instructing the teenager to go and practice with his sword, he looked at Xu Chuniang and put on an inscrutable look again.
“Originally, I wanted my disciple to demonstrate to you, but his sword skills are still short of fire, so it’s better for me to demonstrate in person, so watch.”
Xu Chuniang endured a smile and nodded, wanting to see the old man’s swordsmanship, just how brilliant it was that he actually claimed to be able to crush the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
The old man chose an open space, his right hand gripped the hilt of the sword and gently pulled it out.
Just the moment he gripped the sword, the aura on his body changed abruptly, with a feeling of both simplicity and heaviness.
Xu Chuniang let out a soft “eep”, put away her joking mindset, and watched carefully, not sparing the old man’s every movement.
The sword in the old man’s hand was large and wide, looking very bulky, and the speed at which he swung it was very slow, at first glance it looked all broken.
However, it is not difficult to see that the old man’s sword moves are not old, and he is able to change his moves at any time.
And as he continued to swing his sword, the sword momentum on his body became thicker and heavier, several unstoppable.
The teenager stopped practicing his sword at some point and walked over to Xu Chuniang’s side, sighing with emotion as he watched.
“My master rarely takes the initiative to display his sword skills, your disciple is a good seedling for practicing the sword, and has moved his master’s heart.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart was slightly moved, Shen Miaoling’s calm nature was indeed suitable for this set of sword skills.
However, with her heart, taking the path of Dharma cultivation, her achievements would not be bad.
The old man retracted his sword, the sword momentum on his body swept away.
He looked towards Xu Chuniang, a hidden look of triumph on his face, “How is it, this sword art of mine isn’t bad, right?”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, “Great dexterity is like clumsiness, your sword technique may seem bulky, but every move leaves room for maneuver, not bad indeed.”
The old man was taken aback, “You can actually see through my moves?”
Xu Chuniang came back to her senses, she was only a small cultivator at the ninth level of qi cultivation in the eyes of the old man, and should logically not be able to see through so many doors.
She followed the old man’s example and put on an inscrutable look.
“Yes, but I see that although this sword art of yours is not bad, but to say that it crushes the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is still a bit of an exaggeration, isn’t it?” A color of embarrassment flashed across the old man’s face.
“It’s because my cultivation and qualification is not enough, I didn’t comprehend the deeper levels of the sword art, our clumsy sword first class, cultivating to the highest depths, it really isn’t inferior to them ……”
Seemingly feeling that his words were not convincing, the old man’s voice diminished.
Xu Chuniang nodded in agreement, the old man’s sword skills were not bad, but limited by his cultivation, what he could bring out was ultimately limited.
The sword intent of the clumsy sword was to use softness to overcome hardness, to use clumsiness to overcome cleverness, and to respond to all changes with no change, and it had a resemblance to the Dao.
She has found a more suitable path, if the disciple is interested in this clumsy sword, he can learn it.
It was just that Shen Miaoling had learned the Easy Skill and was a member of the Easy Sect, it was impossible to join this Golden Light Sect.
Xu Chuniang looked at the old man, “There are only two people in total in this Golden Light Sect of yours, I think you might as well join another sect instead.”
The old man firmly shook his head, “How can this work? Although our Golden Light Sect only has two people ……”
Speaking here, he realized that he had spoken out of turn and hurriedly said.
“Who said that our Golden Light Sect only has two people, I said that this is just a mountain, our Golden Light Sect is huge!”
Xu Chuniang shook her head in amusement, at this point, the old man still insisted on his own set of words.
“With your current strength, if you want to start a mountain and establish a sect, you’re still a bit short.”
Xu Chuniang said bluntly, “Even if you do succeed, without a high-ranking cultivator sitting in the sect, if a random Jindan cultivator kills his way to the door, the entire sect will be at risk of being wiped out.”
The old man was silent, knowing that she was right.
It was just that he was old, which clan would take in a hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator like him?
Moreover, his greatest wish was to find a few good seedlings for sword practice and pass on the clumsy sword.
Once he joined another sect, he was only afraid that he could not help himself.
Xu Chuniang could see that he had a lot of concerns, but she just smiled faintly and guided him along.
“If you join other sects, you can just as easily take on disciples and pass down your sword techniques, and there’s no need for you to work so hard to find a successor.”
“That’s easy to say, but I’m getting older, the better sects simply won’t accept a disciple like me, and I can’t pull my punches if I have to start as an outer disciple.”
The old man let out a light sigh, in the early years, he had also thought of joining the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to carry forward the Humble Sword.
Unfortunately, that Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Jindan Elder disliked him for being too old and laughed at his poor sword skills, making him start as an outer disciple.
In a fit of rage, he simply left, and since then he had no more good feelings towards the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
“I have a few ties with the Easy Sect, if you are willing, would you like to go to the Easy Sect’s Xuan Sword Peak?”
The old man glanced at Xu Chuniang suspiciously, “The nine peaks of the Inner Sect of the Easy Sect, Xuan Sword Peak is one of them, are you so capable of letting me enter Xuan Sword Peak directly?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, “Are you willing to go?”
The old man weighed his options for a moment and gritted his teeth, “If you really have a way to let me directly enter Xuanjian Peak and start as an inner sect disciple, naturally I can!”
With that, he pointed at his own disciple, “I’m not the only one, he’s going as well! But with this amount of cultivation, he’ll be fine as an outer disciple.”
The corner of Xu Chuniang’s mouth slightly hooked as she took out a transmitting note, and after punching a divine thought into it, she handed over the transmitting note and the token to the old man together.
“Take these things, and after you go to the Easy Sect, someone will naturally take you to Xuan Sword Peak.”
Looking at the word Easy on the token, the old man froze, and actually somewhat dared not to pick it up.
