Sword Cultivation Should Be Like This

The words fell, and the disciples in the entire martial arts arena were shocked.

Lin Huaian actually said he wanted to teach Liu Yan swordsmanship? How was that possible?

The path that Senior Brother took had nothing to do with swords at all.

Usually, they couldn’t even see Lin Huaian holding a sword, let alone practicing swordsmanship.

Was Lin Huaian really crazy?

Who was Liu Yan? He was an unparalleled swordsmanship genius from a family of sword cultivators.

At the young age of twenty, he had cultivated the Three Dynasties Sword Technique to the eighth level, invincible in the Tongming stage.

He even had the power to fight against a Yuan Ying cultivator in the lower stage, and already had the rudimentary form of the Three Dynasties Sword Intent!

Sword cultivators were roughly divided into three realms.

The first realm was to condense sword intent.

Every complete sword technique had its own sword intent.

Condensing at least one sword intent meant that the cultivator had taken the first step on the path of swordsmanship.

The second realm was to condense sword will.

Sword intent belonged to the sword technique.

For example, practicing the Three Dynasties Sword Technique could condense the Three Dynasties Sword Intent, and practicing the Thunderclap Sword Technique could condense the Thunderclap Sword Intent.

Sword will, on the other hand, truly belonged to the cultivator himself and was unique.

Some sword wills were gentle but extremely destructive, while others were sharp but did not have much killing power.

This was related to the cultivator’s own talent and personality.

That was why there was a saying that sword techniques were finite, but sword will was infinite.

Condensing sword will meant that the sword cultivator could truly be called a sword cultivator.

After possessing sword will, the sword cultivator’s combat power would increase exponentially.

It could be said that sword cultivators with and without sword will were completely different.

The third realm was the highest and most difficult.

Sword and spirit as one.

No more than five cultivators could reach this realm in each era.

However, after reaching this realm, sword cultivators could resonate with every spiritual sword in the world, using them to command all swords for their own use, truly a celestial swordsman in the mortal world.

As an unparalleled swordsmanship genius from a family of sword cultivators, Liu Yan had been practicing the Three Dynasties Sword Technique for nearly ten years, and only barely grasped the rudimentary form of the Three Dynasties Sword Intent at the eighth level.

There was still a long way to go before he could condense it.

This showed how difficult the path of sword cultivation was!

Now, Lin Huaian, an outsider who had never been exposed to swordsmanship, actually claimed to teach Liu Yan swordsmanship.

This really made the disciples of the Tianming Sect want to laugh. Moreover, Liu Yan had already revealed the truth.

Lin Huaian’s Ancient Aura was not proof that he had not been crippled, which meant that Lin Huaian might just be holding on until now.

How embarrassing. He never thought that the arrogant Lin Huaian would have such a day.

The surrounding disciples dispersed, clearing an area here.

Taking advantage of the preparation time for the exchange, Li Tao looked at Lin Huaian with concern.

She walked over and supported Lin Huaian’s shoulder, and asked in a low voice, “Are you really okay?”

“I’m not just okay,” Lin Huaian exhaled a breath of white air under the red maple leaves, “I’m having a blast.”

“Senior, Senior Brother…” Si Qingxue said with red eyes, grabbing the corner of Lin Huaian’s clothes with one hand, feeling distressed and wronged,

“It’s Qingxue who implicated you, I’m sorry, Senior Brother…”

“What are you talking about, silly girl,” Lin Huaian reached out and rubbed Si Qingxue’s head,

“Besides, we haven’t lost yet, don’t always think about admitting your mistake first.”

Si Qingxue raised her head and stared blankly at Lin Huaian. His palm was very warm.

When he put it on her head in the autumn wind, it could even be said to be comfortable.

Si Qingxue lowered her head, closed her eyes, and enjoyed it a little.

When Lin Huaian took his hand back, she seemed to feel a little lost in her heart.

Her pretty little face was also covered with a layer of dimness.

The preparation time ended. Li Tao looked at Lin Huaian with concern as he slowly walked into the martial arts arena. Si Qingxue pursed her lips.

“Senior Brother Lin, this is the last time I’ll call you Senior Brother, listen carefully!” Liu Yan saw Li Tao’s concern for Lin Huaian and couldn’t help but feel jealous, so he threatened Lin Huaian across the small open space,

“You set the rules for the exchange. It doesn’t matter if you bring Si Qingxue, this waste, up for a two-on-one. Let me see your ability to teach me swordsmanship!”

After hearing these words, Lin Huaian laughed out loud, because everything was developing according to his plan.

He turned to Si Qingxue beside him and reached out his hand, as if signaling something.

Si Qingxue was stunned for a moment when she saw his broad palm, and then leaned her head over and slowly rubbed it.

“No…” Lin Huaian looked at the child and felt a little dumbfounded, “I wanted to say, lend me your sword first.”

Si Qingxue’s face suddenly turned red, and she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to hit the wall next to her and commit suicide.

Lin Huaian held the sword that Si Qingxue handed him.

He wanted to grab it and show off some fancy moves, but found that the sword was a little heavy.

He might not be able to swing it.

This was a bit embarrassing.

Si Qingxue and Li Tao obviously didn’t realize this, because this sword should be considered too light for a cultivator after the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Huaian brushed away the black ebony scabbard and handed it to Li Tao, who was watching the show on the side, and then felt much better.

“Si Qingxue,” Lin Huaian took the hilt of the sword, turned around and said to Si Qingxue against the wind,

“See clearly every movement I make next, only listen to the wind, wait quietly for the sword will, and integrate everything.”

The disciples were already focused, but after hearing Lin Huaian’s words, they became even more excited and expectant.

Sword will? Did Lin Huaian just say sword will?

Liu Yan hasn’t even learned sword will yet, but Lin Huaian has already condensed it?!

All the disciples in the audience heard these words, so the entire martial arts arena became silent.

The disciples held their breath and looked at Lin Huaian, afraid of missing even a second or a millisecond of the scene that followed.

Especially Si Qingxue, who was originally too shy to even look at Lin Huaian, but was forced to endure the embarrassment and look at him because of these words, not daring to miss a single bit.

Liu Yan finally stood up from the crowd of disciples, staring at Lin Huaian.

Lin Huaian’s tone was so serious that he was a little scared.

Time passed slowly. Lin Huaian just held the hilt of the sword quietly.

The five-foot-long cold blade stood proudly in the world.

A few maple leaves fell silently, landing in the center of the blade and being cut off at the root, with neat cuts.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Lin Huaian remained in his original posture, closing his eyes, as if he was comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The Ancient Aura continued to flow from his body, as if the myriad things of Heaven and Earth were evolving in front of him, and his aura continued to stack back and forth.

Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed…

Liu Yan was still cautiously observing, but his patience was constantly being consumed.

Other disciples might think that Lin Huaian was comprehending something, but he didn’t think so.

He thought that Lin Huaian was just putting on a show.

A stick of incense’s time passed.

Liu Yan finally couldn’t wait any longer, his patience exhausted.

He roared angrily, “What so-called sword will, it’s all fake! There are not many sword cultivators in the entire Tianming Sect who have condensed sword intent.

How dare you, Lin Huaian, talk about sword will, it’s really ridiculous!”

Lin Huaian did not answer, still maintaining his original posture.

“And Si Qingxue, Si Qingxue is even more of a waste,” Liu Yan drew his sword angrily from his waist,

“He has been defeated by me since he entered the sect and has been losing miserably until today. No matter how hard you try to hold on, he is just a waste.

Not to mention sword will, he can’t even practice ordinary sword techniques until now. Lin Huaian, today I will tell you who is the Senior Brother of the sect!”

Si Qingxue felt a pain in his heart when he heard him say that, but he couldn’t refute it.

Just when he was feeling low and inferior, Lin Huaian suddenly opened his mouth and shouted in a deep voice, “Qingxue!”

A pair of crimson-gold eyes suddenly opened, and everyone seemed to see a monstrous magma erupting from the ground and spreading towards the end of the horizon.

He turned around and drew a sword flower, and the long sword sped across the ground, drawing a trail of sparks.

Stone chips splashed, and his blue and white robe fluttered in the wind. A three-inch sword mark appeared on the ground.

This move was not unremarkable in the eyes of other disciples.

There was no spiritual energy, no sword technique, no sword intent, and no sword will.

Even the sword was not a spiritual sword, but just an ordinary iron sword.

The blade reflected the sunlight and was taken into Lin Huaian’s hand.

Li Tao handed him the scabbard.

She didn’t understand what Lin Huaian was doing, but she just thought he was very handsome.

The female disciples next to her also thought so.

The eyes they looked at Lin Huaian were all filled with stars.

They couldn’t care about what Lin Huaian did, they just thought Lin Huaian was very handsome.

“Are you trying to make me laugh?” Liu Yan looked at the scratch on the ground that didn’t show even a bit of swordsmanship, and his expression was even a little distorted with anger,

“This is your so-called sword will?”

“I have imprinted the highest sword intent of my life into this sword move.

It contains the supreme sword dao code of the ancient Immortal Yuan period.

It uses the Ancient, the Heavenly Dao, and those who don’t have enough talent in swordsmanship can’t see it,”

Lin Huaian took the scabbard in his right hand and said to Liu Yan,

“The cultivators who can understand it are not only born sword cultivators, but also future peerless sword immortals.”

Liu Yan laughed in anger: “Do you know what you are doing? You are insulting swordsmanship, and you are insulting me!”

No one had ever dared to say that he, Liu Yan, didn’t have the talent for swordsmanship.

Today, Lin Huaian had said it twice in a row, and he was still a liar!

Liu Yan raised his three-foot-long cold iron sword and said to Lin Huaian with a ferocious expression: “Take your lies to the underworld, Lin Huaian!”

However, at this moment, a strong and unparalleled sword aura suddenly burst out, shaking Liu Yan away forcefully, sweeping across the sky, and leading the meaning of True Immortal into the mortal world.

Liu Yan was stunned, and looked in the direction of the aura with everyone in the audience,

Only to find that this aura actually came from behind Lin Huaian, from Si Qingxue, who had been constantly losing to Liu Yan and being ridiculed by everyone?

How was that possible?

How could such a powerful and indescribable sword aura be emitted by Si Qingxue, that waste?

Liu Yan was completely stunned in place, and at this moment—

“One sword and one style, all are codes, one movement and one stillness, confusing black and white, what exactly is the sword?” Lin Huaian said softly to Liu Yan,

“The sword is to cut off the stars in one breath, to make the world fall with one finger, to block the road to life with one leaf, and to destroy the ages with one sword.”

Although he was just saying it to Liu Yan, these words still uncontrollably poured into the hearts of all the disciples, and then set off a huge wave.

In one breath, cut off the stars in the sky, with one finger, make the boundless earth fall, with one leaf, block the road to the afterlife, and with one sword, destroy the ages.

Just imagining these scenes made them feel excited, because this was the sword cultivator that everyone imagined!

What is a sword cultivator?

Heaven, earth, future, past, can be broken with one sword.

In this world, I am the only one who is supreme.

This is the sword cultivator, this is the sword, this is the Senior Brother of the Tianming Sect, Lin Huaian!
