Sword Cultivator Liu Yan

Tianming Sect, though named a sect, is in essence still one of the Ten Holy Lands.

Within the Holy Land, mountains and pavilions lean on each other, golden halls and jade buildings overlook from afar, peaks rise and fall, forests are lush, and immortal energy swirls, leaving any mortal who beholds it dizzy and utterly awestruck.

Though he had taken note of it in his memories, as Lin Huaian once again walked through the Holy Land, he couldn’t help but sigh and look around.

Every plant and tree was spiritual, the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and the surrounding area was filled with spiritual intent.

He couldn’t help but admire that this was indeed a good place for cultivating immortality.

Even if it weren’t for cultivation, using it as a scenic spot would at least earn a fortune.

Truly worthy of being one of the Ten Holy Lands.

Li Tao followed behind Lin Huaian.

Although Lin Huaian didn’t say much, the hint of immortal essence that occasionally peeked out from his indifferent eyes was enough to inspire awe.

Not to mention that at this moment, Lin Huaian’s eyes seemed to contain some kind of deep meaning, some kind of emotion.

What kind of emotion was it?

Could it be that Senior Brother had comprehended something again?

Thinking of this, Li Tao finally couldn’t help but open her mouth to start a conversation: “Senior Brother.”

“Hmm?” Lin Huaian was wondering how much the ticket price should be set when he was interrupted.

He turned his head indifferently, his eyes so aloof that Li Tao’s pretty face flushed red.

She shook her head, hastily putting on a serious expression and said,

“I want to know, why did we walk down just now? Didn’t you used to not even use a flying sword, and directly use a Void Skiff to carry you up and down?”

A Void Skiff is a kind of vehicle, a higher rank than a flying sword.

To understand it, it’s like a flying boat.

Lin Huaian was too lazy to even control a sword, and every time he directly stepped on the Void Skiff to reach the peak.

Regarding this question, Lin Huaian had actually thought about it when he returned with Ji Xin, because it would definitely be unreasonable for the usually high-profile Eldest Senior Brother to suddenly start taking a low-profile route.

So he had prepared a perfect answer in advance, one that could definitely fool anyone.

Lin Huaian looked into the distance, and the aura of the primordial began to slowly emerge from the void around him.

Seeing Lin Huaian like this, Li Tao suddenly felt a chill all over her body.

Lin Huaian’s aura was even more profound than the lords of the various Holy Lands!

“Is what we cultivators pursue merely action?” Lin Huaian said as he walked towards the distance.

Li Tao barely kept up with him.

After hearing this sentence, she was a little dazed, but before she could answer, Lin Huaian continued,

“What is action? Action is the Great Dao. What is the Great Dao? The Great Dao is the foundation. Then what is the foundation?”

He suddenly stopped. Li Tao lowered her head to think and didn’t react.

She accidentally bumped into Lin Huaian’s back, and quickly raised her head, only to find that the two of them had unknowingly walked to the front of a towering tree.

Li Tao suddenly noticed that the air here seemed fresher, even clearer, and the spiritual energy also had a bit of extraordinary celestial quality.

The green shade covered the sky and sun, and the ground was filled with strands of scattered light and shadow. A gentle breeze rose, accompanied by Lin Huaian’s soft voice.

Li Tao even thought for a moment that she was in front of a Buddhist hall, listening to a venerable monk preaching to the crowd.

“The foundation is the source. Immortality is immortality, the Dao is the Dao, but the Great Dao must be sought from the source,” Lin Huaian turned his head and quietly looked at Li Tao.

“Flying swords are creations of ancient immortals, not the origin. The Great Dao faces the heavens and connects with the dust of the earth. We cultivators should seek the Great Dao from all things. Do you understand, Junior Sister?”

After hearing these words, Li Tao was instantly stunned under the shade of the tree.

The breeze was gentle, and the countless yellow leaves rustled.

The sunlight from the gaps became even more brilliant and intense.

The whole world was gradually filled with spiritual intent.

Li Tao closed her eyes, and her Dao heart gradually became clear and transparent.

She could feel that in just this instant, her Dao heart had become more firm and clear by more than a third.

This was a result that should have taken decades to achieve, but now it had returned to Li Tao herself in an instant.

She opened her eyes, and her gaze became even softer as she looked at Lin Huaian: “Senior Brother, I understand.”

Hmm… Hmm?

You understand?

What the hell do you understand?

Lin Huaian touched his chin. He was just spouting nonsense, but oh well, he was too lazy to bother.

Who knew if Li Tao was also spouting nonsense with him?

After all, Li Tao was a cultivation genius, and it was quite normal for her to be too embarrassed to admit she didn’t understand.

“It’s good that you understand,” Lin Huaian turned around. “Let’s go, the road is still long.”

There were still two kilometers to go to the training field, really long.

Lin Huaian had a headache, because did he really have to spend an hour going up and down the peak every day in the future?

That would be too painful, right?

The road is still long… Li Tao nodded.

The road to immortality is long, and she was already complacent after just solidifying her Dao heart.

Thinking of this, Li Tao couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, but her image of Lin Huaian in her heart became even more unfathomable.

Just how strong is Senior Brother now?

Tianming Sect Inner Sect.

On the training field.

The noise was deafening. Tens of thousands of Tianming Sect disciples were practicing in pairs, and in a more conspicuous place.

Spiritual energy and sword techniques constantly clashed and fought.

After a deafening tearing sound of thunder, two disciples each took three steps back, bowed to each other, and clasped their fists in salute, but it was obvious that the disciple using the sword was slightly better in this exchange.

This was the inner sect’s training field, so without exception, all the disciples gathered here belonged to the inner sect.

It was no exaggeration to say that these tens of thousands of disciples were the future of the entire Tianming Sect.

The man using the sword breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the side to rest.

As he sat down, more than a dozen disciples suddenly popped up around him.

Some were holding towels, some were holding Qi Refining Pills, some were holding warm tea, and some were holding nothing, but instead walked in front of the man and sincerely praised,

“Senior Brother Liu’s swordplay is more than five points stronger than before!”

After hearing this sentence, Liu Yan only smiled indifferently on the surface, but his heart was already bursting with joy.

He, Liu Yan, began cultivating at the age of eight, established his foundation at the age of twelve.

The Liu family was rich in sword cultivators, and he was the son of the clan leader, the most likely cultivator in the entire family to step into the Refinement Void realm.

He had been in the inner sect for a full five years.

Liu Yan had lived for twenty years, and had been arrogant for twenty years.

The only person who had ever dealt him a blow was one person – Lin Huaian.

It would have been fine if he had only lost to him in cultivation, but after all, the other party had the Primordial Saint Body, so it was normal to not be able to win. But what Liu Yan never expected was that Lin Huaian was even better at being a brat than him!

This was very uncomfortable.

When you find out that a top student is not only better than you in studies, but even plays more wildly than you in bars, the frustration you feel is more than just a little bit.

Fortunately, Lin Huaian had been crippled, otherwise he would probably still have to endure this frustration in the sect.

“Senior Brother Liu’s Three-Morning Swordplay has already been cultivated to what level?”

A disciple clapped his palms and said admiringly,

“Just now I saw that your sword momentum was so turbulent and unstoppable, could it be that Senior Brother Liu has already cultivated to the seventh level?”

“More than that,” Liu Yan smiled and waved his hand, “It’s already the eighth level, Three-Morning Noon, warm with warmth.”

“Hiss—”

The surrounding people gasped after hearing this sentence.

The Liu family was a family of sword cultivators, and they had a deep understanding of sword techniques.

Liu Yan’s best sword was a three-foot cold iron sword, and naturally the Liu family had also selected the most suitable sword technique for him – “Three-Morning Sword”.

The so-called three mornings are actually the meaning of three days.

Each morning is divided into three sections: morning, noon, and dusk.

The Three-Morning Swordplay is divided into nine levels.

The more it is practiced, the more powerful the Three-Morning Swordplay will be.

Even from the eighth level onwards, it will create an illusion that will warm the enemy, and even reach a state where victory is achieved as soon as the sword is drawn.

Liu Yan was only twenty years old and had already cultivated the Three-Morning Swordplay to the eighth level, and also had a prototype of the noon illusion.

Within that year, he would definitely be able to cultivate the Three-Morning Swordplay to the highest level. At that time, not to mention being invincible at the same level of Tongming, even a Yuanying cultivator who was one level higher than him, Liu Yan would be able to fight!

“Good, as expected of Senior Brother Liu Yan!” The disciples reacted and began to flatter him.

“Senior Brother Liu Yan is already in the top ten of the inner sect disciples. Now that Eldest Senior Brother has been crippled, the sect needs a new role model. Senior Brother Liu, it seems that the position of Eldest Senior Brother is really none other than you!”

“That’s right, who is Lin Huaian? Really unfamiliar, don’t ask!”

“What Huaian? Lin what An? Lin Huai what?”

“Senior Brother Liu is a model for us, I’m afraid even Second Senior Sister Li Tao will be infatuated with you!”

“Don’t go too far, Second Senior Sister is mine!”

“Go eat peaches!”

The field was suddenly filled with laughter.

Just then, in the distance, Lin Huaian had just quietly walked out of the corner and couldn’t help but sneeze, wondering if someone was thinking about him.

Li Tao followed behind him, and the look in her eyes as she looked at the training field gradually became indifferent.

These two protagonists of the Tianming Sect’s eternal hot topics had finally finished their journey.
