Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 48: The Name of the Sword Master
The matter of the ancient tomb spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty in a blink of an eye, shocking the entire Great Yan!

Nirvana!
Although no one knew Lin Xuan's strength clearly, there was no doubt that the three words "Nirvana Realm" flashed through everyone's mind!

The sword light that was brighter than the moonlight and the sharp sword intent that could be felt throughout the Tianyan Mountains all proved that this previously unknown young man had the strength to suppress the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

Sword Saint——Lin Xuan!
The name of a legend naturally requires a title that is extraordinary and holy.

The power of that sword made everyone admire it!
In the Great Yan Dynasty, perhaps, you may not know who the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty is, but if someone asks who is the strongest person in the Great Yan Dynasty, there is no doubt that it is the Sword Saint Lin Xuan. This is the only answer!
What shocked many top forces even more was that in the face of this rumor circulating throughout Da Yan, the Da Yan royal family, and even the Da Yan Emperor Mo Jingtian himself, maintained a strange silence.

Of course, they also had to remain silent, because even Mo Jingtian himself did not have the confidence that he could take the sword of the Sword Master, even if he tried his best.

Given the absolute gap in strength, the Great Yan Royal Family didn't dare to say anything like the Sword Saint was just a little Karami. Otherwise, if they really provoked that person to draw his sword, the entire Great Yan Royal Family might be destroyed by one sword.

Since we dare not deny it and do not have the ability to deny the rumors, the best thing to do is to pretend that we know nothing.

While the Great Yan royal family remained silent, the Lin clan's reputation grew more and more powerful, even directly surpassing the other three clans and the Great Yan royal family, becoming the number one clan and the number one force in the Great Yan Dynasty.

There are also rumors that Wang Lei, the patriarch of the Wang clan, went to the Lin clan in person, reportedly wanting to meet the Sword Saint, but to no avail. However, rumors do say that Lin Fan, the patriarch of the Lin clan, and Wang Lei, the patriarch of the Wang clan, have met. As to what exactly happened, it is unknown.

It is only known from rumors that the Wang clan seemed to have taken the initiative to submit to the Lin clan. As to whether it is true or not, it is not something that outsiders can know.

But ever since the battle at the Ancient Tomb Palace, the members of the Lin clan, whenever they walked outside, exuded an air of pride and walked with their chests puffed out.

However, the Sword Master who was in the limelight in the outside world, at this moment, locked himself in the sword-making room, and was forging the sword in his hand with peace of mind, and was also honing his swordsmanship!
Sword, what is a sword? The one in your hand? The one in your heart? Single-edged? Double-edged? Hard? Soft?
It seems like everything is a sword, and yet it seems like nothing is a sword!
There is an old saying that goes, "When you look at a mountain, it is a mountain, and when you look at water, it is water." It also says, "When you look at a mountain, it is not a mountain, and when you look at water, it is not water." It also says, "When you look at a mountain, it is still a mountain, and when you look at water, it is still water."

The mountains and rivers are still the same mountains and rivers, but the people who see them have different moods and understandings, so what they see is also different.

Lin Xuan is like this. What is a sword? This is an eternal question, a question worth pursuing continuously.

There is a sword in the heart, but no sword in the hand. Is there a sword or no sword? Originally, Lin Xuan thought he had understood, but slowly, he found that he had not understood enough, not deeply enough!

What is a sword? It is said that when one reaches the highest state of enlightenment, all plants, flowers and leaves can become swords. However, after reaching the highest state of enlightenment, plants, flowers and leaves are just plants, flowers and leaves, and a sword is just a sword! Being able to be a sword does not mean it is a sword!

A sword is always a sword. It is an irreplaceable sword. The sword heart is the sword, the sword way is the sword, and the sword intent is also the sword. But when it comes down to it, in the end, they all turn into swords in your hands!
But, what kind of sword should be in my hand?

In other words, the question that troubled Lin Xuan became, what kind of sword should he turn the sword in his hand into?
In order to solve this confusion, Lin Xuan chose to start from scratch and forge the sword!

As a sword practitioner, one should understand the sword, its structure, characteristics, and special meaning, so as to comprehend the essence of the sword! Unlike those who refine spiritual treasures, Lin Xuan forges swords. To forge a sword, one must not only forge the sword itself, but also forge the characteristics of the sword. In other words, one must integrate some of the perception of the sword into the forged sword.

"Cang! Cang!"

In Lin Xuan's hand, an earth-grade spiritual treasure-level iron hammer continuously hammered the sword embryo in front of him that had been burned into deep red by the spiritual fire, making bursts of crisp sounds.

The heavy black iron hammer was lifted high by Lin Xuan, and then, as Lin Xuan swung his arm, it hit heavily on the sword embryo that was almost formed in front of him.

"clang!!!!"

The huge recoil force bounced the extremely heavy iron hammer magic treasure up. If it had not been for Lin Xuan's control, it would have been bounced away under the huge force.

At this moment, the sword blank lying on the sword-casting table suddenly trembled after the hammer fell, and vast and majestic sword energy swept around without any control.

"Boom!!!"

The sound of swords also rang out in the sword-making room, and there seemed to be some faint sounds of thunder. The stone walls of the sword-making room could not block this strange sound of swords at all, and it soon spread throughout the Lin clan.

After hearing the sound of the sword, many people couldn't help but turn their heads to look in the direction of the sword-making room, with a look of amazement and admiration in their eyes.

"Another earth-level spiritual treasure. This is the third one, right? I wonder who will get this spiritual treasure."

A member of the Lin clan also said this with an expectant look on his face, and another powerful member of the clan quietly guessed when he heard this.

"This sword has a faint sound of thunder. Maybe it was given to Lin Ke'er. Hasn't she been practicing the Divine Sword and Lightning Control Technique? It has similar properties to this Earth-level spiritual treasure!"

"It's a pity. If Lin Xue hadn't understood the Piaoxue sword technique so well last time, I would have had a chance to fight for the Piaoxue sword."

In the sword-making room, Lin Xuan looked at the Thunder Sword in his hand, and a smile appeared on his usually calm face. He now liked more and more the feeling of forging spiritual swords that embodied his certain sword art.

Integrating one's own swordsmanship into a sword and giving the sword spirituality is like creating a life.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan involuntarily turned his head to look at the sword placed in the corner. That was the first earth-level spirit sword he had forged, but no one knew it, because it was a sword of death forged with the intention of death, and its attack was full of destructive power.
