Chapter 1007: Sword Saint Taixuan, Are You Ready? (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
From the Earth Immortal Realm to the Immortal Realm, it was mainly about entering the Dao and accumulating experience. It was very difficult to enter Dao. For example, the Sword Dao of Emotion and Heartless of Seeking River Academy and Sword Whisper Tower. Even if they had inherited sword techniques, they needed an opportunity to comprehend them to step into the Dao.
As the most outstanding student in the academy, Fairy Lijiang barely stepped into the Sword Dao of Emotions with Shen Ping’s help. The Parting Water Sword Technique she had comprehended from the Mountain and River Painting was only a sword intent.
As for Sword Saint Taixuan, she was also the strongest sword seed of Sword Whisper Tower. It was already so difficult for the two of them to step into the Dao, let alone other swordsmen.
Within the entire Cosmos Ranking, there were many Earth Immortals with powerful or even perfect sword intent, but there were very few who entered the Dao. Other than entering the Dao, it was the accumulation of one’s cultivation.
What Shen Ping lacked now was this bit of accumulation. He had not found the bloodline of the strange beast in his reincarnation, so he naturally could not activate the talent of the strange beast to devour, leading to his cultivation accumulation to slow down. From the first realm to the seventh realm, as long as his Sword Dao was strong, he could quickly step into it. However, from the seventh to the eighth realm, he would have to accumulate for twenty to thirty years. This was already a very abnormal time.
For example, Yao Xian and Huo Ru had accumulated for a long time. What they lacked was to enter the Dao. Even if he was satisfied with both accumulation and stepping into the Dao, it would not be easy for him to break through. He only said that he had the qualifications to break through.
Because of this, there were very few Immortals in the world. All of them were peak experts from the various powers. That was why the former Marquis of Zhenbei had stepped into the Immortal Realm so quickly. It shocked many people and attracted covetous eyes. In the end, he died tragically in the depths of the Demon Nation.
Palace Master Yan said this because she was confident that Fairy Lijiang could enter the eighth realm. As one of the five top factions, Seeping River Academy naturally had some foundation.
Yao Xian hurriedly said, “Thank you, Palace Master.”
Palace Master Yan smiled. “Xian’er, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Palace Master, feel free to speak.”
“What do you think of the Marquis of Zhenbei?”
“Senior Brother Shen is a good person. The rumors outside are not trustworthy. If not for his guidance, I would not have been able to defeat Huo Ru and step into the Sword Dao of Emotions.”
Palace Master Yan had an idea in her heart and continued, “If the two of you are married, are you willing?”
“Ah… M-Me marrying him? This, this…” Fairy Lijiang’s face was filled with peach blossoms. Her eyes were filled with shyness as she fidgeted, not knowing what to say.
As someone who had been through this before, how could Palace Master Yan not guess what Yao Xian was thinking? “Xian’er, it seems that you really like the Marquis of Zhenbei. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange this for you.”
Fairy Lijiang hurriedly shook her head and said, “Palace Master, d-don’t, I-I do like Senior Brother Shen, but I heard that he wants to marry the Sword Seed of the Sword Whisper Tower. I don’t want to affect him because of me. I like him, but I have never thought of being with him. I simply like his character.”
Palace Master Yan frowned. “If you like it, you have to fight for it. I’ll speak to the Sword Whisper Tower.”
“No. Palace Master, don’t interfere in this matter. Let nature take its course, okay?” Fairy Lijiang bit her red lips and said.
Palace Master Yan could only sigh. She understood Yao Xian’s personality. It was very difficult to change her mind easily. Although she looked soft and weak on the surface, she was very stubborn on the inside.
“Xian’er, I still have to remind you that sometimes you have to follow your heart. When we cultivate the Sword Dao of Emotions, we have to follow our heart and experience the joy of the human world. Only in this way can we understand the world and the truth of the Sword Dao.”
Fairy Lijiang nodded. “I understand. If I really want to be with him, I won’t need the palace master to tell me. I’ll go find him.”
Palace Master Yan smiled again, “That’s good. Also, how’s your mastery of the Water Splitting Sword Technique?”
“Senior Brother Shen said that I had already obtained some of the true teachings, but I still needed time to completely master them,” Fairy Lijiang replied honestly.
“It’s fine. After all, it’s a sword technique from the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers. It’s normal to spend more time. Now that the Sword Dao Exchange Competition is over, you can focus on this sword technique from now on. Remember not to casually leak it.” Palace Master Yan exhorted, “If anyone finds out, it will bring about a fatal disaster.”
“Yes, Palace Master!”
…
Days passed. After the Sword Dao exchange ended, Shen Ping stayed in the academy for three months before leaving. He had handed over everything he needed to hand over in regards to the Water Splitting Sword Technique. Although he admired this Yao Xian, she did not have any special physique.
Knowing her personality, he did not want to destroy the other party’s natural and pure joy just because he wanted to obtain the Sword Dao.
After returning to the House of Zhenbei, he lived like he did in the first decade or so. During this period, there were some little fellows from Jin Tang who came to investigate, but they did not obtain anything. He only stayed for two years before
The Sword Whisper Tower sent him an invitation, asking him to go to the Sword Whisper Tower. They wanted him to exchange pointers with the Sword Seed so that he could join the Sword Whisper Tower as soon as possible.
This piqued Shen Ping’s interest. Thus, he passed through the astral winds and arrived at the Sword Whisper Tower at an extremely fast speed that day. It’s not the first time he’s been here. Other than the imposing Sword Whisper Tower, there were rows of pavilions. Most of the members of the Sword Tower were women, but there were also men.
Shen Ping glanced at the highest Sword Tower. The immortal he had left his mark on was there. He did not expect the other party to be here either. He did not pay much attention to it and followed a Sword Son into the guest building.
