257 The Real Leading Template? (1/2)

”Very good, you have mastered eighty to ninety percent of this Nine Yang Heaven Burning Sword, Sword Spirit Root truly deserves its reputation. This is the only time I ever see someone with such a level of sword art perception. Even in my heyday, I’m not as good as you.”

On an island in a boundless black tide, a piece of golden light formed into a sphere. Within that sphere, Sword God was slowly doing a sword dance using a plain sword. Beside him, the Big Sister of Spirit Sword Sect Zhu Shiyao followed his move. Their actions were exactly the same, however, her Great Sun Golden Brilliant Sword bloomed nearly as bright as the sun.

While Sword Demon and Wang Lu were stepping up his cultivation, Sword God and Zhu Shiyao were not idle either.

Although from the point of view of strength, this group occupied the absolute superiority, Sword God remained vigilant. He spent every moment passing on the methods he learned during his life to Zhu Shiyao.

What he was imparting her now was the immortal level sword art Nine Yang Heaven Burning Sword.

”What Sword God of Bai Li excelled at the most is Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword, which, although powerful, does not fit with the sword path that you took. Moreover, your Stellar Sword Method is also an immortal level ancient inheritance method, and its power is not below that of Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword, so there’s no need for you to change it. However, in addition to the core method, a brilliant sword cultivator must also learn many other knowledge.”

”You possess the Sword Spirit Root and Stellar Divine Eyes, so every time you learn a sword art, you will reap benefits far more than the others. Unfortunately, currently, there are very little immortal level methods left in Nine Regions, and I’m afraid even your Spirit Sword Sect has only gotten the Stellar Sword by chance, and it doesn’t have the second part. Thus, although your sword art is extremely refined, it’s not broad enough. Right now, what I teach you are a few sets of immortal level and quasi-immortal level sword art. If you can learn and understand them, even if they won’t cause your cultivation base to advance rapidly, but in the actual fight, you would progress by leaps and bounds.”

Sword God then revealed a faint smile. ”For a sword cultivator, the so-called Stage is meaningless. If you have an immortal sword in your hand, you will only have two categories of opponents, one is those that you can beat, and the other is those that you can’t beat, that’s all.”

Zhu Shiyao felt deeply in agreement with this.

From the beginning, her immortal cultivation path was very different than the others. Among the few Successor Disciples of Spirit Sword Sect, except for the one who was deliberately treated with low key because of a special reason, she was the one who entered the sect the earliest, and also the most legendary one.

She was taken back to the mountain by her Master when she was not yet old enough to remember. Only when she was about ten years old did she hear her story from her Master.

Twenty years ago, when Daoist Master Feng Yin was wandering out, occasionally he saw devil cults that indiscriminately killed innocent villagers as sacrifices to build devil treasures. Their means were extremely vicious. Unexpectedly, they even used dismemberment and chopping people into pieces. However, when Feng Yin rushed in to intervene, thousands of households in the villages and towns have already been slaughtered. Later on, Feng Yin wiped out these devils. At that time, the present hundreds of devil cultivators were frightened out of their wits when they saw two Deity Stage baby-eating old devils were slain by him, and they immediately broke ranks and tried to flee. However, they didn’t even have the chance to do that. After wiping out these devils, when Feng Yin was defusing the blood spell that imprisoned the area, he actually discovered that someone was still alive within the village! Guided by that person’s breath, he was amazed to find that a four-year-old girl was still alive! She was quietly standing, wrapped in the dust of the remains of the dead devil soldiers.

Daoist Master Feng Yin was puzzled by the fact that she was still alive. How could the raging devils in the village let her off… At that time, he felt that there was no life in this place, so he swept clean of this place using his stellar sword qi, reducing the several hundreds of devil soldiers that wreaked havoc in the village into ash. However, stellar sword qi didn’t differentiate between friend and foe, so how could she manage to survive? Then, when Feng Yin carefully looked at her, he was shocked speechless.

The girl, in the chaos of the rampaging devil cultivators, through fortuitous circumstance and surrounding, unexpectedly activated the legendary Sword Spirit Root! When this activated, it protected her from having sword injury, which guaranteed her life.

Despite Daoist Master Feng Yin being well known in the Nine Regions for his amazing divination through his Stellar Diffraction Technique, he actually couldn’t calculate such a miracle. At the most critical moment, this child actually activated the never-before-seen-in-thousands-of-years top rated spirit root. It was as if there was an invisible hand that manipulated the fate, which produced this incredibly great miracle.

Later on, Daoist Master Feng Yin immediately took the girl back to the Spirit Sword Mountain and trained her with the highest method available. However, her method of cultivation greatly differed from the other cultivators. He didn’t let her cultivate immortal cultivation method first but consolidated her root through a secret method, sparing no expense in refining innate panacea to stimulate her innate magical ability from its dormant state, the Stellar Divine Eyes.

After her foundation was solid, only then did she officially begin to cultivate the Stellar Sword Method. During this period, she spent most of her time in isolation. Daoist Master Feng Yin himself never told her about stage and related things. Were it not for the occasional exchange with her Junior Uncles or fellow apprentices, she would not even know what were the Stages and what they meant!

At that time, when she asked about it, her Master probably told her: Pure sword cultivation is based on sword, but sword is also a murder weapon. Therefore, for a sword cultivator, the immortal cultivation is a path of battles, and in a battle, no one cared about stage or level. In a battle, there are only two kinds of people, the winner and the loser. Thus, you only need to divide your opponent into two types, those that you could not beat and those that you could.

During her twenty years of cultivation, the path that Zhu Shiyao tread into was indeed full of thorns and thistles. Although a few years ago she wasn’t allowed to descend the mountain for the experiential learning, her cultivation life on the mountain was not so simple either. Her Master often brought her formidable matches for her to practice her sword, and most of the time, she ended up badly bruised and injured… Later on, when one of her Junior Uncle accidentally met her and exchanged blows with her, Zhu Shiyao finally realized that all of her opponents that her Master brought before her have cultivation base far higher than her.
