Chapter 407: Which Is The Flaw? (2/2)
The ripples rotated, turning into a blue pool.
A white-robed old man emerged out of the ripples, his hair dishevelled and walking barefoot in the air.
Thump!
Everyone present knelt down.
The old man had an amiable face and his eyes were still and calm.
Even though he saw his son soaking in the ice coffin, there was no expression of sadness on his face.
He swept his eyes across, with no emotion in his voice as he said loudly, “Get up.”
The crowd rose to their feet.
Elder Lingyun bowed respectfully as he asked. “Old immortal, why did you come out?”
“We are useless, we made Old Immortal worried.” Elder Chengfeng looked ashamed.
The other people all bowed their head in shame, and dared not to make direct eye contact with the old man's eyes.
“There should be this calamity, can't blame others.” The old man said softly, lifting his foot in the air and stepping toward the Carefree spiritual coffin. With every step he made there was a blue footprint appearing in the air.
His reached his hand into the coffin, clasped Mu Yubai's arm, and closed his eyes.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and stated out loud, “Yubai's body is fine, he had just entered into a self-closing stage and is not willing to wake up.”
“Don't want to wake up?” Everyone was shocked.
Elder Lingyun turned to look at spiritual coffin, asking in an astonished voice. “Why would Master not want to wake up?”
“In this defeat, he was shaken by his own disposition. The mind as peaceful as still water, the sword moves like flowing water; this is the 'Still water sword technique'. He was tempted by greed, broke his disposition, and as a result his sword qi was also broken by himself. He was not wounded by the hand of others, but defeated by his own hands.” The old man explained softly, loosening Mu Yubai's arm.
Everyone stood with their eyes cast downward, looking awkward.
Only the elder before them could say these words.
“Moreover, after this calamity, he had finally touched upon the essence of the last sword of the 'Still water sword technique'——” The old man continued.
“Huh?” Everybody's face lit up with wild joy.
“Master has comprehended The No Word Technique?”
“This really is a matter worth celebrating——”
“Master has been working hard for tens of years, but unexpectedly it is a blessing in disguise——
The 'Still water sword' was divided into a total of five techniques: Rhythm word technique, Provocative word technique, Striking word technique, Severing word technique, and No word technique. No word technique was the most mysterious of the 'Still water technique', as well as being the most deadly attack. No word and no movement, the sword moves like flowing water.
In order to make a breakthrough in this technique Mu Yubai had spent over 10 years of time. But unexpectedly because of a battle against Li Muyang and entered into a self-closing state, he was able to understand the profound theory of this sword technique.
If he were to learn such a sword technique, then most likely that Mu Yubai's cultivation level would rise again, at a rate of thousand miles per day. At that time, wouldn't he be even more worthy of the name G.o.d of sword of West wind?
“Just found the path, whether he can really make a break through the realm depends on his talent and mind——” The old man seemed indifferent with the matter. “As long as the mind is not stable, all is futile. For thousands of years, many people have been looking for a doorway. But it was locked out, and people were unable to take a glimpse of the landscape through the door——” “
“Master certainly will be able to break through and comprehend this sword technique.”
They all said in unison.
Elder Lingyun asked with a smiling expression. “Old Immortal, then what should we do now?”
“Let nature take its course.”
“That Li Muyang who wounded Master——how are we going to deal with him?”
“Kill him obviously.” Li Xiuwei said. “
“I am willing to go into battle.” s.h.i.+ Tao stated firmly.
“I came out this time, because of that boy.” The old man said calmly, “I want to see how he broke the No Word Technique of my 'Still water sword'. For thousands of years, he is the first person able to escape unscathed under the No Word Technique.”
“What does Old immortal mean?” Elder Lingyu looked astonished.
“I want to know that, if there's a flaw in the 'Still water sword technique', or is that Muyang boy a flaw——” said the old man softly. “This concerns the thousand year old foundation of the Still water sword school. I must not be careless.”
“I understand.” Elder Chengfeng nodded. “Tomorrow is the Lu family's Lu Xingkong's birthday. That boy has a close relations.h.i.+p with the Lu family, he will certainly attend the birthday banquet held by the Lu family. I will challenge this boy on behalf of Old immortal then?”
“Exactly.” The old man said quietly.
Once again casting a glance over at Mu Yubai in the spiritual coffin, his figure grew lighter until he disappeared again in that puddle of blue water.
