Seeing Abbot Wu Da fall silent, the Grand Martial Sect Master quickly said, “Abbot Wu Da?”
Abbot Wu Da put his hands together and pretended to be astonished. “So it turns out to be a descendant of the Human Sword Sovereign. My respects, my respects!”
Lu Tian gave a slight smile. “Abbot Wu Da need not be so formal!”
Abbot Wu Da fell silent. Deep in his heart, a sudden surge of killing intent rose. He almost broke his vow against killing.
The Grand Martial Sect Master also smiled. “Abbot Wu Da, the upcoming battle between Lu Tian and Ye Guan may have complications. Therefore, we hope Abbot Wu Da can assist us!”
Abbot Wu Da glanced at Lu Tian, then said earnestly. “The Buddhist Institute will spare no effort in fully supporting Young Master Lu Tian!”
Upon hearing this, a smile immediately bloomed on Lu Tian’s face.
A trace of a smile also appeared on the Grand Martial Sect Master’s face. “Then we will not disturb you further, Abbot Wu Da!”
Abbot Wu Da put his hands together. “Grand Martial Sect Master, take care. Young Master Lu Tian, take care!”
Lu Tian gave a slight smile. “Abbot Wu Da need not be so courteous. Once this matter is settled, I will not forget Abbot Wu Da and the Buddhist Institute. At that time, I will surely give strong support to the Buddhist Institute!”
Abbot Wu Da quickly said. “This old monk thanks Young Master. Long live Young Master, long live, long live forever!”
Hearing this, Lu Tian was stunned for a moment, then laughed. “Abbot Wu Da, no need for such formalities.”
Abbot Wu Da fell silent. If you two do not leave soon, this old monk might just have to send you to the afterlife.
Lu Tian suddenly looked at the Grand Martial Sect Master. “Teacher, let us go!”
The Grand Martial Sect Master nodded. The two of them departed!
Abbot Wu Da gazed toward the horizon. After a long silence, he shook his head and sighed. “This brain of his is far inferior to Young Master Ye and Wu Bian!”
With that, he frowned. “Is this really a Child of Destiny?”
In this moment, he actually began to have doubts.
He had met the previous two generations of Children of Destiny. Each one was more cunning and manipulative than the last.
And this generation…
Moments later, Abbot Wu Da shook his head. A Child of Destiny itself is useless. The one favoured by destiny is the true god!
He turned and left.
At the edge of the sky.
Lu Tian smiled. “Teacher, Abbot Wu Da’s mind seems a bit dull!”
The Grand Martial Sect Master said seriously. “Do not underestimate him. For the Human Sword Sovereign to have chosen him and entrusted him with the Buddhist Institute, there must be a reason.”
Lu Tian restrained the smile on his face and nodded slightly. “Understood!”
The Grand Martial Sect Master added. “Now that we have the support of the Buddhist Institute, our chances of victory have risen another level!”
Lu Tian said calmly. “Master, rest assured. On that day, I can kill him with my own strength! Even if he is a Great Sword Emperor!”
The Grand Martial Sect Master nodded slightly. “If that is truly the case, then excellent. In any event, having two preparations is always better!”
Lu Tian nodded slightly. “Good!”
The Grand Martial Sect Master said. “Let us go!”
Soon the two of them disappeared into the distance.
Not long after they left, the space where they had stood trembled slightly. A shadowy figure appeared!
It was Dark Seclusion!
Dark Seclusion glanced in the direction the two had departed, then vanished from the spot.
In the void, Ye Guan continued his cultivation. Now he could already achieve six swords with the same speed and power!
Unleashing six swords in succession, each with the power of the first sword. It must be said that the consumption was enormous, but the power was truly terrifying. This power had already surpassed his World-Rending Inch Force.
Of course, if he could unleash World-Rending Inch Force six times in a row, that would still be stronger. However, he could not do that!
World-Rending Inch Force was a simplified-grade martial technique. It required casting time. He simply could not cast it instantly, and moreover, each use consumed far too much.
In the following time, Ye Guan focused on cultivating the seventh sword!
Now he no longer lacked cultivation resources. After all, Elder Zhang had given him five million immortal crystals.
However, cultivation was still extremely costly in gold crystals. In just a few short days, he had already spent ten million gold crystals!
All of it went toward buying recovery pills!
Abbot Wu Da did not leave either. He accompanied Ye Guan throughout the entire process. Whenever Ye Guan encountered a problem, he would offer guidance!
Ten days passed!
Ye Guan could now achieve nine consecutive swords as one!
One sword was nine swords!
In the void, Ye Guan stood quietly. His mind was free of distractions, calm and focused.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Guan suddenly drew his sword.
Nine swords in succession!
Crack!
Suddenly the space within a three-hundred-zhang radius cracked open. Immediately after—
Boom!
The space within three hundred zhang shattered completely!
Breaking space!
This sword did not merely break space. It broke space-time as well.
But it lasted only for one breath. After one breath, the space-time in the area automatically restored itself.
Beside him, Abbot Wu Da smiled. “That is enough!”
Yet Ye Guan shook his head. “Still missing the last sword!”
Abbot Wu Da said gravely. “This final sword will be extremely difficult!”
This kind of stacking grew harder the further it went.
Ye Guan looked at Abbot Wu Da and smiled. “I feel this is not yet my limit. I can do better!”
Abbot Wu Da was slightly stunned, then smiled. “Then try again!”
Ye Guan nodded. He took out a recovery pill and swallowed it. Moments later, he resumed cultivation!
Abbot Wu Da looked at Ye Guan cultivating not far away. A smile appeared on his face. This young man was capable!
Compared to his father, he had less flashiness and more steadiness!
In the field, Ye Guan continued to draw his sword!
It must be said that the final sword was indeed difficult. However, he did not give up, because he knew his own limits. If he truly could not do it, he would decisively abandon the attempt. He would not stubbornly push forward blindly.
A person must have self-awareness!
Right now, the reason he wanted to push was because he felt he had not yet reached his limit.
In this way, Ye Guan thrust sword after sword. The space in the field shattered and restored, restored and shattered again…
Failure after failure, yet Ye Guan felt only excitement, not the slightest discouragement. Because he discovered he really could improve further. He could already unleash ten swords in succession. It was just that the final sword’s power was only seventy percent of the first sword. At the beginning, that final sword had been only twenty percent of the first!
But now, the final sword had risen to seventy percent!
Five days passed.
Whoosh!
Suddenly a tearing sound echoed through this starry expanse. The space within a five-hundred-zhang radius cracked open directly, then shattered!
Boom!
The powerful spatial shockwave from the shattered space instantly spread thousands of zhang outward. In an instant, the space within thousands of zhang cracked into a spiderweb pattern.
Ye Guan collapsed directly to the ground!
At that moment, a gentle power caught him.
Abbot Wu Da walked to Ye Guan’s side. Throughout this period, he had stayed here accompanying him.
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. His entire body felt utterly exhausted. Yet a smile bloomed on his face.
He had succeeded!
Only in this moment did he truly feel his limit!
Abbot Wu Da smiled. “How does it feel?”
Ye Guan took a deep breath, then grinned. “Extremely refreshing!”
Abbot Wu Da nodded and smiled. “Congratulations!”
It must be said that he was somewhat shocked. Originally he had thought the ninth sword was already Ye Guan’s limit. He never expected this fellow would actually achieve the tenth sword!
After resting for a moment, Ye Guan suddenly sat up. Then he pointed forward with his fingers.
Whoosh!
Space-time cracked open. A flying sword suddenly shot toward a point a hundred zhang away.
It was not one sword, but ten flying swords!
Crack!
Where the ten flying swords landed, space suddenly cracked at one corner. Immediately after, the space within five hundred zhang shattered once more.
Seeing this, Abbot Wu Da was stunned. “Sword Control Technique?”
Ye Guan smiled. “Yes! The Sword Control Technique can also be stacked!”
Abbot Wu Da said gravely. “Your Sword Control Technique is extremely fast. Unfortunately, you are using energy swords. If you had ten powerful flying swords, the power would increase by at least five times, if not more!”
Ye Guan nodded. “When I return to the Sword Sect, I will ask Eldest Senior Brother. See if he can get me some flying swords!”
Abbot Wu Da smiled. “That works!”
Ye Guan added. “Senior, I still have a movement technique to cultivate. May I stay here a few more days?”
Abbot Wu Da said. “Stay as long as you like!”
Ye Guan hesitated, then asked. “Senior, your relationship with my father…”
Abbot Wu Da chuckled softly. “You will know in the future!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Alright then!”
Next, Ye Guan began cultivating the simplified-grade Shocking Thunder movement technique.
Shocking Thunder!
A thought arises, movement like shocking thunder!
The moment he began contacting this movement technique, Ye Guan was immediately shocked. It must be said that this movement technique was truly terrifying. No wonder Lu Tian had been able to match his speed with it that day.
Really impressive!
Of course, he was even more impressive. Because even without the movement technique, his speed was already slightly faster than Shocking Thunder.
And if he mastered Shocking Thunder, that would be impressive plus impressive, equal to super impressive!
This time, Ye Guan took less than two days to completely master the Shocking Thunder technique.
Under the enhancement of Shocking Thunder, his speed directly doubled!
His original speed was already heaven-defying. Now doubling it again—how terrifying was that?
And his greatest weakness right now was still his realm!
His realm was too low. The amount of profound energy he could store was too little. He could not fight prolonged battles!
Beside him, Abbot Wu Da said softly. “With your current speed, you are invincible below Zhijing. Even if you encounter a Zhijing, as long as it is not one of those peerless geniuses who have mastered a domain, you are still invincible!”
Ye Guan gave a slight smile and said nothing.
Abbot Wu Da smiled. “How much confidence do you have in the battle against the Child of Destiny?”
Ye Guan said calmly. “My opponent is only one person!”
Abbot Wu Da was slightly stunned, then asked. “Who?”
Ye Guan said. “Myself!”
Abbot Wu Da froze in place.
Ye Guan said softly. “On my path of invincible sword dao, the true enemy is only myself. As long as my state of mind does not collapse and I can always maintain my original heart, no one can defeat me. The only one who can defeat me at this stage is myself at the next stage.”
Abbot Wu Da said gravely. “You walk the path of invincible sword dao?”
Ye Guan nodded.
Abbot Wu Da’s expression grew solemn. “Then do you know? You cannot lose even once!”
Ye Guan smiled. “Senior, you are mistaken. The path of invincible sword dao is not about never losing. It requires losing.”
Abbot Wu Da was stunned.
Ye Guan said earnestly. “Only through failure can one find one’s shortcomings and continue to improve. What cannot be defeated is the heart and the will. Others can defeat my person, but they cannot defeat my heart and my will.”
Boom!
Suddenly a terrifying sword intent soared from within him!
Abbot Wu Da was dumbfounded.
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly pressed downward with his right hand, forcibly suppressing that sword momentum.
Abbot Wu Da looked at Ye Guan in confusion. “You… that was the momentum of a Great Sword Emperor…”
Ye Guan grinned and said nothing.
Abbot Wu Da said gravely. “You are suppressing your own sword dao realm.”
Ye Guan still grinned and said nothing.
Abbot Wu Da looked at Ye Guan. “Why?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said. “I am still weak right now. I do not have the invincible strength of the Human Sword Sovereign and the others. Therefore, in many situations, I cannot reveal my edge too much. I must learn to hide my clumsiness. Simply put, I need to keep some trump cards for survival. I cannot show all my trump cards to others.”
He paused, then added. “Sword cultivators cannot always charge forward stubbornly. After all, this world is too complicated, and there are too many powerhouses. Charging forward all the time only creates endless enemies and constantly pushes oneself into desperate situations. Therefore, sometimes one must be soft. The books say to combine hardness and softness. I think that statement makes a lot of sense. So my enemies will only know my trump cards at one moment—that is, when I am burying them!”
Abbot Wu Da fell silent.
You father and son are both damn not good people!
