The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Just as Zheng Tuo was filled with confusion, the old man fishing beside him slowly got up.

"This young friend is quite skilled; he actually managed to catch the best sword energy in this river."

"The best sword energy!"

Zheng Tuo thought about it and realized it was true.

Sword Immortal Qi is the original power of the Sword Ancestor, and the original power of the Sword Immortal Ancestor is naturally the most powerful power among sword qi.

“Young friend, as far as I know, if you want to cultivate this Sword Immortal Qi, you must abandon the sword qi you are currently cultivating. Only in this way can you successfully cultivate the Sword Immortal Qi.”

The old man fishing explained the reason to Zheng Tuo.

"Only by abandoning my own sword energy can I cultivate the sword immortal energy!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo believed it to be true.

The sword immortal energy itself is of extremely high grade, and it is impossible for it to merge with any other kind of sword energy.

But at this moment, he was naturally unwilling to give up the cultivation of the Righteous Sword Qi.

The Righteous Sword Qi is not just sword energy, but a power, its essence being the power of righteousness.

He simply manifested his righteous power in the form of sword energy. If he wanted, he could use saber energy, fists, axes, supernatural powers, or all sorts of other means to demonstrate the power of his righteous power. Sword energy was just one of them.

In contrast, the sword immortal's aura is merely sword energy, and it only has this one cultivation mode.

Comparing the two, he naturally preferred the power of righteousness.

However, the current situation is that if I want to cultivate the Sword Immortal Qi, I need to find a way to integrate it into my own righteous power.

"May I ask, senior, is there a way to cultivate sword immortal energy without having to give up the sword energy I cultivate?"

Zheng Tuo tried to communicate with the elderly angler.

The old man fishing fell silent.

His cloudy eyes looked at Zheng Tuo, as if trying to discern something, but in the end he shook his head.

"Young friend, the method you mentioned may or may not exist."

"What do you mean by this?"

"I think you should know the answer yourself, you just haven't seen it yet."

"I know the answer myself!"

Zheng Tuo frowned slightly.

The old man's words left him completely bewildered.

"I know the answer myself!" Zheng Tuo murmured to himself, beginning to ponder the meaning of the sentence.

"Young friend, if you wish to leave, the door is right there. This old man is getting on in years and his health is failing, so I will not accompany you fishing!"

The old man who was fishing got up, put away his fishing rod, and turned to leave.

"Senior, here's your fishing rod back!"

"Here's a small fishing rod for you," came the voice of the old fisherman.

Zheng Tuo watched the departing figure of the old man fishing, lost in thought.

Who is this old man fishing? Why did he say something seemingly unrelated to me? What is his purpose?

My mind was filled with all sorts of unknown doubts.

He did not rush to leave this world, but sat there and began to ponder the meaning of the old man's words.

I already know the answer myself. What is the so-called answer? And what question is the answer to?

He began to reason in reverse.

The answer he wanted to know was naturally the method to fuse the Vast Sword Qi and the Sword Immortal Qi.

and so.

The problem lies in the difference between the righteous sword energy and the sword immortal energy.

Let's continue the deduction.

During the process of fusing the two sword energies, he discovered that the biggest problem was not with the sword immortal energy, but with his own righteous energy.

Is there a problem with the concept of righteousness and integrity?

He obtained the Righteous Qi unintentionally. During the battle in the Primordial Immortal City, he accidentally fused the sword energy of the Sword Sect and the saber energy of the Blade Sect. The Righteous Qi was generated after the two powers were fused by the Supreme Dao Pattern. This is the origin of the Righteous Qi.

This is where righteousness comes from. Therefore, if you want to enhance righteousness, you need to constantly cultivate sword energy and saber energy.

and many more!

Knife Qi!
He suddenly realized that the key to the problem was not in the sword energy, nor in the righteous spirit, but in the blade energy.

correct.

The essence of righteous energy lies in sword energy and saber energy. In other words, if one possesses saber energy that matches the sword immortal energy, wouldn't it be possible to merge the two into one and transform them into an even more powerful righteous force?

Answer!

Could this be the answer?

He looked down at the sword immortal energy in his hand, lost in thought.

hum!
A Daoist figure appeared beside him.

The Dao Body immediately dispersed its power, leaving only the purest and supreme Dao patterns.

Under these circumstances, he began to refine the sword immortal energy with his Dao body.

The refinement of Sword Immortal Qi is obviously not something that can be accomplished overnight. As the original power of the Sword Ancestor, it would probably take a very long time to refine Sword Immortal Qi.

take it easy.

The sword immortal energy now clearly recognizes him, meaning it can be refined by his Dao body, which is the most crucial issue.

The sword immortal energy has been dealt with; the remaining task is to find a powerful blade energy.

Saying.

If the Sword Sect possesses the aura of a Sword Immortal, will the Saber Sect possess the aura of a Saber Immortal?

As the Sword Sect, which has been an enemy of the Sword Sect for generations, the fact that it has been able to contend with the Sword Sect for so long must mean that it has something extraordinary about it.

Thinking of this, he thought of his relationship with the Sword Sect.

Dao Zhongxian, the sect leader of the Dao Sect, had extended an olive branch to him several times, trying to get him to join the Dao Sect.

If I were to discuss this with Dao Zhongxian at this moment, he would probably not refuse my participation.

Now, the most important question is whether the Blade Sect truly possesses the same ultimate power as the Sword Sect, such as Sword Immortal Qi.

With something on his mind, he looked at the Daoist figure not far away.

The body has entered a meditative state, and it is best not to disturb it in this state.

Simply.

He then got up, preparing to leave the place.

Just leave your Dao Body here to refine the Sword Immortal Qi. After refining the Sword Immortal Qi, your Dao Body will naturally go to the Sword Pool to cultivate. There is Ye Xian in the Sword Pool. When you cultivate the Sword Immortal Qi using the dual cultivation method, the speed of improvement will definitely increase several times.

With that arrangement made for the time being, he rose, left the place, entered the portal, and vanished in the blink of an eye. In the quiet little world of sword energy, Zheng Tuodao sat cross-legged on a large rock, continuing to refine the sword immortal energy while maintaining his state of focus.

at the same time.

Somewhere on top of a mountain.

The old fisherman's gaze was deep as he looked at Zheng Tuodao, who was in a meditative state. A playful smile appeared on his lips, which he quickly suppressed.

outside world.

Zheng Tuo appeared in a pavilion not far from the ancient road of the Sword Sect.

He looked to be in great shape. Even without refining the sword immortal energy, the encounters with various powerful figures from the Sword Sect along the way had greatly benefited him.

His current Righteous Sword Qi is several times stronger than before. In fact, he is now fully qualified to enter the Sword Pool to cultivate and further improve his understanding of Righteous Sword Qi.

"Congratulations, young friend, on conquering the ancient path of the Sword Sect."

The old sword saint appeared with a smile, looking very spirited, indicating that Ye Xian's cultivation in the sword pool was going very smoothly.

"Thank you, senior, for allowing me to cultivate on the ancient path of the Sword Sect. It has truly been an extraordinary training experience, from which I have benefited greatly," Zheng Tuo said with humility and respect.

"Young friend, you can now enter the Sword Pool to cultivate. I believe that once you have completed your cultivation based on the Sword Pool, you will surely reach the highest realm and break through to become a Breaker."

The old sword saint naturally hoped that Zheng Tuo would break through as a member of the Sword Sect and become a barrier-breaker sword cultivator of the Sword Sect, because in this way the Sword Sect would have two powerful figures at once, and the strength and potential of these two powerful figures could be said to be the strongest in the original immortal realm.

But Zheng Tuo clearly had other things to deal with.

“Senior, I still have some matters to attend to and need to leave the Sword Sect for a while. But please rest assured, I have left my Dao Body in the small world of sword energy at the end of the ancient road of the Sword Sect. Once the Dao Body has finished its cultivation, it will come out and then enter the Sword Pool to cultivate.”

"Sword Qi Miniature World! Dao Body!"

The old swordsman looked puzzled by this!
He had heard that there was a small world of sword energy at the end of the ancient road of the Sword Sect, but he had never seen it himself. The reason was simple: his strength was far from reaching that level.

As for Zheng Tuo leaving his Dao body in the small world of sword energy instead of leaving himself in the small world of sword energy, he didn't understand this at all.

There is a huge difference between the Dao Body and the physical body. Why would someone use the Dao Body instead of the physical body? Is there really something so urgent that the physical body is needed to handle it?
The old swordsman was not optimistic about Zheng Tuo's choice.

Come on.

The old sword saint's considerations naturally had their reasons, but he was unaware that the relationship between Zheng Tuo's Dao body and his physical body was very special.

Because of the supreme Dao patterns, Zheng Tuo's Dao body is equally powerful and possesses extremely high comprehension, so this is not the first time he has used his Dao body for cultivation.

To know.

There are dozens of Daoist practitioners cultivating in Zheng Tuo's Dao Palace.

"May I ask, young friend thirteen, what important matter do you have to tell me? If I can help you, I certainly won't stand idly by."

The old sword saint had a high opinion of Zheng Tuo and always hoped that he could join the Sword Sect and become a true disciple of the Sword Sect.

"this!"

Zheng Tuo thought about it for a while, but in the end he did not tell the old sword saint his intentions.

The Sword Sect and the Saber Sect have always been at odds, and battles have frequently occurred over the years. Although they are not exactly locked in a life-or-death struggle and no one has ever died, their battles usually end with one side losing.

For the disciples of the Sword Sect and the Saber Sect, defeat was more painful than being killed.

If they are killed, they are dead and know nothing. But if they are defeated and defeated by their opposing strongmen, every day they live will be torture.

and so.

The relationship between the Sword Sect and the Saber Sect is extremely tense, and the disciples of both sides are hostile to each other, not to mention that the two sect leaders of the Sword Sect and the Saber Sect are mortal enemies.

Old Sword Saint Sword Heartless and Old Knife Saint Knife Immortal have disliked each other since they began their cultivation journey. When they were young, they compared their cultivation levels and often challenged each other to duels, fighting and battling all the way. Even now, at their age and in their current realm, neither of them is willing to admit defeat to the other.

of course.

They are now all sect leaders of their respective sects, and given their strength as breakers, they naturally wouldn't make a move easily.

Therefore, the two elders began to make this unconventional comparison based on the strength of their respective sect's disciples.

The Sword Sect has Ye Xian, and the Saber Sect has Yi Dao Xian; both are outstanding figures among their contemporaries.

Thinking about it this way, if he were to tell the old sword saint to go and do business with the sword sect, the old sword saint would probably definitely not agree.

To avoid trouble, he chose not to tell the old sword saint, deciding to wait until he obtained the strongest power of the sword sect.

"If you need help, I will certainly ask you to lend a hand," Zheng Tuo said, leaving no room for doubt.

The old swordsman didn't say anything more after hearing this.

He knew that someone of Jian Shisan's caliber wouldn't easily join the Sword Sect. Even if he had already confirmed his relationship with his beloved disciple, he wouldn't join the Sword Sect, because for a powerhouse of that level, joining any faction would be a constraint.

However, he is not worried about it.

Jian Shisan is young now and naturally has drive, wanting to reach a higher realm. Under such circumstances, he naturally doesn't want to be held back.

Gradually, when Jian Shisan reaches his limit and realizes that he can no longer go any further, he will naturally choose to join a sect to find a better path.

After talking for a long time, the two went their separate ways.

The old swordsman had to personally protect Ye Xian's cultivation and couldn't leave for too long because he had received reliable information that someone had already begun to pay attention to Ye Xian's breakthrough.

obviously.

Someone predicted that Ye Xian was about to break through and become a Wall Breaker.

The Sword Sect has many hostile forces, but they dare not say much because of the Sword Sect's strength. However, things are different now. The Sword Sect is weak, and Ye Xian is preparing to break through. When that happens, it is likely that someone will intervene.

As the master, he naturally had to protect his disciple wholeheartedly. Compared to himself, Ye Xian was the future of the Sword Sect.

In contrast, Zheng Tuo did not rush to leave, but instead headed to the library of the Sword Sect's ancestral land.

The library houses a collection of ancient books, including historical documents about the Sword Sect.

He came here for two reasons: first, to check information about the Sword Immortal Qi; and second, to find information about the Blade Sect.

The Sword Sect and the Saber Sect were inherently at odds, so both sides had a very thorough understanding of each other's opponents, much of which was recorded in their records. These records were exactly what he needed.

He searched for information about the Sword Sect alone in the library, and surprisingly, after several months, he actually found some information about the Sword Sect.

This is?

Looking at the records in the ancient books, he finally confirmed one thing: there really was sword immortal energy within the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect possesses the aura of a Sword Immortal, the Saber Sect possesses the aura of a Saber Immortal, and the Saber Immortal aura of the Saber Sect is also located in the ancestral land of the Saber Sect.

He continued examining the area, and slowly his brow furrowed slightly.

According to ancient records, the biggest difference between the Knife Sect and the Sword Sect is that the Sword Sect has an ancestral homeland, while the Knife Sect does not.

Such contradictory records made him frown.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case.

As one of the most powerful forces in the original immortal realm, the Blade Sect could not possibly exist without its ancestral land.

However, according to records, the Sword Sect has no ancestral land, only a City of Ten Thousand Swords.

Could it be that the ancestral land of the Sword Sect has been hidden away?

Zheng Tuo seemed to be deep in thought about this.

It seems that the only way to learn more about the ancestral home of the Blade Sect is to visit the Blade Sect itself. (End of Chapter)
