“All quiet.”?A Master Ancestor stone statue standing at the top of the altar opened his mouth, and immediately, the rest of the Ancestor stone statues, too, immediately shut up and stopped speaking.
One must know that the higher the position of the stone statue, the higher the seniority.
The stone statue standing at the very top must be the first generation ancestor of the Monstrous Heavenly Sword lineage.
The first generation ancestor’s figure was quite thin, with a high nose, a deep lightning mark imprinted on his eyebrows, and a flame-like light emanating from his two pupils.
Even though it was only a stone statue, it still gave off an incomparably great oppressive force.
The First Generation Ancestor’s gaze, fixed on Zhang Ruochen, said, “Zhang Ruochen, do you know the origin of the Nine Lives Sword Technique?”
“Disciple does not know.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The First Generation Ancestral Master followed up with, “In the entire Kunlun Realm, there are a total of four great sacred places of the Sword Dao, namely the Sword Pavilion of the Taiji Dao, the Martial God Mountain of the Martial Market Chambers, the Wanxiang City of the Snowy Willow River, and the Wang Family of the Underworld King’s Sword Mound, known as the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Mountain, the Sword City, and the Sword Family.”?”Sword cultivators can only learn Sacred Art level sword techniques at the four major Sword Dao Holy Places. Among them, the Sword Pavilion possesses the Wordless Sword Spectrum, which encompasses all the sword techniques in the world, and is the head of the four great sacred places of the Sword Dao.”
“The Wang Family of the Underworld Sword Pavilion, ten thousand years ago, was also incomparably brilliant, not only giving birth to ten Sword Saints, there was even a Great Saint among the Sword Saints.”
“It’s only that in recent years, the Wang Family didn’t give birth to top sword dao geniuses, and the green and yellow didn’t come up before it gradually declined, and it can only be considered to be at the bottom of the list among the four great sword dao holy places.”
“The Wang Family has a total of six Saint Art level sword techniques, and each of the six great sword bearers cultivates one of them, and, from generation to generation, it has been passed down.”?Zhang Ruochen asked, “Why is it that the Burial Heavenly Sword’s sword bearer, cultivates both the Nine Life Sword Technique and the Nine Death Sword Technique?”
The First Ancestor continued, “In fact, the so-called Nine Lives Sword Technique and Nine Deaths Sword Technique are both the same type of sword technique called the Nine Lives, Nine Deaths, and Nine Reversals Sword Technique.”
“Only, the Nine Lives, Nine Deaths, Nine Revolutions and Reincarnations Sword Technique is too difficult to cultivate, and even Sword Saints are rarely able to cultivate it to a great completion. That’s why the ancestor of the Burial Heavenly Sword lineage split it into three simpler sword techniques: the Nine Life Sword Technique, the Nine Death Sword Technique, and the Nine Reincarnation Sword Technique.”
“If you want to crack the first move of the Nine Lives Sword Technique, it’s hard to say that it’s difficult, and it’s not difficult to say that it’s not difficult. The True One Thunder Fire Sword Technique of our Monstrous Sky Sword lineage has one of the moves that will be able to restrain it.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart stirred as he asked, “How long does it take to refine the True One Thunderfire Sword Technique?”
“The True One Thunderfire Sword Technique is no simpler than the Nine Lives, Nine Deaths, Nine Revolutions and Reincarnations Sword Technique, and even with your natural talent, you will never be able to achieve anything without twenty years of painstaking cultivation.”The First Generation Ancestor said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled helplessly and said, “My disciple has already put out the word that within three days, I will be able to break the first move of the Nine Lives Sword Technique. Tomorrow is the time I agreed with her, so it seems that I won’t be able to break her sword technique.”
“Not necessarily.”
The First Generation Ancestor added, “I have personally seen you fight with her, and at that time, you used a sword move that incorporated the power of time. If, you are able to integrate the True One Thunderfire Sword Technique’s sword move with the power of time, together, you may not be without a chance, to crack that move.”
Hearing the First Generation Ancestor say so, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes also lit up.
The True One Thunder and Fire Sword Technique was difficult to cultivate, not that the sword moves were just that difficult to learn, but the rules of the Sword Dao that the sword technique incorporated were very difficult to penetrate.
As long as Zhang Ruochen was able to learn the sword moves in it, and then incorporate the Time Mark, why would he worry about breaking Ling Fei Yu’s Nine Lives Sword Technique?
Next, the 16th Generation Ancestor taught Zhang Ruochen the moves of the True One Thunder Fire Sword Technique.
The 16th Generation Ancestor had only demonstrated it once, and Zhang Ruochen had learnt seven or eight points.
By the time the three demonstrations were over, Zhang Ruochen was already able to perfectly control, the seventy-two stances of the True One Thunderfire Sword Technique.
“The moves of the True One Thunderfire Sword Technique have all been taught to you, whether or not you can break the sword moves of the Burial Heavenly Sword Bearer, the next thing you can only look at is your own perception.”
After rehearsing the moves, the 16th Ancestor flew back to the altar.
Next, Zhang Ruochen once again entered the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and continued to comprehend the True One Thunder Fire Sword Technique.
“Wow!”
Below the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, a translucent shadow that looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen separated from his physical body and condensed into another Zhang Ruochen.
That was a Half-Saint bilocation.
As long as one reached the Half-Saint realm, they were all capable of separating a bilocation, or multiple bilocations.
Next, Zhang Ruochen’s main body and bilocation, respectively, rehearsed the Nine Lives Sword Technique and the True One Thunder and Fire Sword Technique, one attacking and the other defending, for five days in a row.
After five days, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Scroll World and returned to Bamboo Festival Mountain to challenge Ling Fei Yu.
“Are you sure you can break my Nine Lives Sword Technique?”Ling Fei Yu sat beside a small stream of spiritual springs, her eyes containing a purple haze as she surveyed Zhang Ruochen.
In just three days, how much progress could Zhang Ruochen have made?
Zhang Ruochen stood in the distance, his hands clasped in front of his chest as he said, ”The Nine Lives Sword Technique is vast and profound, with many variables, so how can it be cracked in just three days. However, I am nevertheless willing to give it a try, in case I break it by chance.”
Ling Fei Yu gently nodded and slowly stood up.
Invisibly, a huge aura naturally emanated from her body and surged towards Zhang Ruochen.
At this moment, she was as if she was a vast ocean with no boundaries in sight, and Zhang Ruochen was a light boat on the sea.
A random wave lapping over seemed to be able to tear Zhang Ruochen apart.
“Since you are so confident, how can this Saint not fulfil you.”
Without any sign, Ling Fei Yu’s sleeve swung and rolled up the water of the Spiritual Spring next to him, and between the opening and closing of his hands, nine hundred and ninety-nine drops of water coalesced to form a liquid long sword.
“Wow–”
With one of her jade hands, she pushed forward, and the thick holy qi sent the liquid longsword flying.
The liquid long sword rushed to Zhang Ruochen’s face and immediately disintegrated, transforming into a particle of water droplets, forming nine hundred and ninety-nine light shuttles that rushed towards Zhang Ruochen at ten times the speed.
Just as Ling Fei Yu struck out, Zhang Ruochen also stabbed out with his sword, flicking his wrist, and instantly, an imaginary image of nine sword strokes was presented.
“Snap.”?All the water droplets, all of them were slapped out by the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword.
The entire process, appeared to flow like nine Zhang Ruochen striking at the same time. However, in the blink of an eye, the nine silhouettes had overlapped.
Zhang Ruochen immediately withdrew his sword and looked at the water droplets on the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword, revealing a hint of joy as he laughed, ”There are indeed many variables in the Taixu Splitting Light, however, there are only nine of the most basic sword dao rules. It only takes nine sword moves to be able to crack him as well.”
Ling Fei Yu’s pair of almond eyes revealed a hint of surprise as she said, “This is a move within the True One Thunder and Fire Sword Technique called the Nine Nines to One ……”
Ling Fei Yu immediately shook her head again and said, “No, you merely learnt the stance and did not realise the rules of the Sword Dao, it was only by using the power of time that you were able to execute the True One Thunder Fire Sword Technique in a split second.”
“In any case, I have finally broken your move.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Ling Fei Yu smiled sweetly in a very rare manner and said, “Zhang Ruochen, if you were born in the same era as this Saint, I’m afraid that this Saint might not really be your opponent. However, this Saint is after all ahead of you, and even if your natural talent is even higher, you will never be able to catch up. If you can break the first move of the Nine Lives Sword Technique, can you break the second move?”
Ling Fei Yu never gave in to defeat and was extremely competitive, thus, he immediately executed the second sword again and attacked Zhang Ruochen.
“Blue Sea, Blue Sky.”
The second move of the Nine Lives Sword Technique was a wide-open, simple move to execute, and did not have any subtlety to speak of.
Only to see, Ling Fei Yu used his hand as a sword and directly chopped down towards Zhang Ruochen.
In Zhang Ruochen’s eyes, however, it was as if the entire sky was pressed down, and it was impossible to either retreat or advance, or even get out his sword to resist.
It seemed like a simple move, but it was even harder to crack than the “Taixu Splitting Light”.
Forced to do so, Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to once again perform a move from the Time Sword Technique, and in his haste, he swung out.
“Boom!”
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword collided with Ling Fei Yu’s arm, but it couldn’t cut through the Electric Mother’s Purple Cloth at all, instead, a powerful force, through the sword, impacted on Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen flew backwards to the right, impacting on top of the stone wall of the cave and slid down, half-kneeling on the ground, supporting his body with his sword, looking extremely wretched.
With a snap, the hair crown on his head snapped and his long hair cascaded down.
It was only after seeing Zhang Ruochen’s current appearance that Ling Fei Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, “In just three days, your sword dao, on the contrary, has improved quite a bit, comparable to the results of a year’s worth of hard training by other swords. However, it is still a bit difficult for you to block one of my moves.”
Zhang Ruochen endured the pain on his body and slowly stood up.
If it was someone else who was as arrogant as she was, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be quite disgusted. However, Ling Fei Yu’s arrogance made him not hate it in any way.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen knew very well that while the two seemed to be competing, in reality, Ling Feiyu was teaching Zhang Ruochen the Way of the Sword.
Moreover, it seemed that she had the intention of passing on the Nine Lives Sword Technique, to Zhang Ruochen.
“No matter what, you have finally broken the first move of the Nine Lives Sword Technique, and this Saint has honoured her promise.”
Ling Fei Yu took out a jade vial from within his spatial bracelet and threw it to Zhang Ruochen, adding, “Inside the vial is a Sacred Elemental Pill, which can help you break through to the Second Stage Half-Saint more quickly.”
Zhang Ruochen reached out and grabbed the vial, asking, “How many drops of divine blood?”
“For one sword practice, ten drops of divine blood. For one Saint Origin Pill, it’s also ten drops of divine blood. In total, you should give this Saint twenty drops of divine blood.”Ling Feiyu said.
Zhang Ruochen took out twenty drops of divine blood and handed it over to Ling Feiyu, then immediately left this cave and headed to the Sword Mound.
“What an awesome sword dao wizard, if he can join the Divine Sect, he can compete with Ouyang Huan for the position of Divine Son.”
Ling Feiyu held twenty drops of divine blood in a delicate palm that was as white as jade, her eyes radiating a profound light.
The people from the Wood Family didn’t dare to bring Zhang Ruochen back to the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, and that was because, they didn’t dare to offend the forces behind Ouyang Huan.
However, Ling Fei Yu was one of the Nine Palace Masters, a figure with a strong background.
Apart from the Demon Sect’s Sect Master, there was no one in the sect that she dared not offend.
