Eternal Sword

Chapter 401 Mysterious Symbol
"It turned out to be him, no wonder."

After leaving the yard and not walking far, Ye Xuan murmured softly.

Ye Taoyuan was a little surprised and asked, "Cousin, do you know this person?"

“I’ve only heard of it.”

Ye Xuan said: "Every year when the Sword Pavilion evaluates the list of the best, it also pays attention to some news from various places in Beiqian and Hanyu."

"This Chen Tang was less than 20 years old when he caused quite a stir in Beiqian. He was hunted by the Beiqian court and Xuantian Sect. In order to avenge the untimely death of Yuan Qingshan, he went on a killing spree in Qingzhou, massacring two Xuantian temples. In the end, he killed a young dragon, was hunted by a real dragon, and fell into the sea to his death."

"I didn't expect that he was still alive and came to Daxia."

Ye Taoyuan was secretly shocked and looked surprised.

If these words had not come from Ye Xuan's mouth, she would never have believed that these things could be done by a young man under the age of twenty.

"This person is so lucky that he was chased by a real dragon and fell into the East China Sea and survived."

"East China Sea, East China Sea..."

Originally, it was just a careless remark from Ye Taoyuan, but Ye Xuan's heart moved, as if he thought of something.

"He is not very old, how can he be so capable?"

Ye Taoyuan couldn't believe it.

Ye Xuan's thoughts were interrupted, and he could not remember what happened just now. After thinking for a moment, he said something shocking: "If I am not mistaken, he should be the heir of Emperor Wu."

"what!"

Ye Taoyuan's face changed, he exclaimed, and asked: "Emperor Wu is still alive?"

"do not know."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "I once asked my uncle about this, but he just smiled and said nothing. Of course, it is also possible that Emperor Wu is already dead, and this person was his disciple before he died."

"How did you guess that he was the heir of Emperor Wu?"

Ye Taoyuan asked again.

Ye Xuan said: "It's the half piece of calligraphy just now."

"That half piece of calligraphy was written extremely wildly and unrestrainedly, expressing his true feelings directly, and fully revealing his martial arts charm through the handwriting! The blood and iron of the battlefield, the invincible momentum, and the heroic spirit of breaking the river with a whip, only the Martial Emperor can have such sword spirit!"

"What level is Xiao Wuhen at? He endured the Martial Emperor's sword intent head-on, and blinding himself is the least of his consequences."

Ye Taoyuan was somewhat surprised and asked, "According to what my cousin said, this person's swordsmanship has reached the divine realm?"

"good."

Ye Xuan nodded.

"But how is this possible?"

Ye Taoyuan said: "Normally, if you want to cultivate martial arts to the divine realm, you need to practice and comprehend for many years. Generally speaking, a martial artist can only reach the divine realm after he has opened his meridians or reached the innate level."

"Unless he is a master who has opened his Niwan Palace and entered the state of spiritual meditation, it would be easy for him to comprehend a martial art to the divine realm. But this person is not even twenty years old."

Ye Xuan pondered and said, "This is indeed unreasonable. I wonder what tricks the Emperor used on him to create such a rare talent."

"What's even more rare is that this person's handwriting not only contains the martial emperor's swordsmanship, but also subtly hones his own sword intentions and walks out of his own path."

“Although it has not yet matured, it has already shown its potential.”

Ye Taoyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

She closed her eyes and recalled the scene when she just saw the calligraphy.

The copybook seemed to have disappeared, and in its place appeared a young man with a blurry face, standing in front of a desk, writing with a brush. He was clearly holding a brush, but a dazzling knife light was on his chest, as if it was going to penetrate his body and stand between heaven and earth, eternal!

Ye Taoyuan opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, she suddenly laughed and said, "By the way, his handwriting is always a little ugly."

"No." Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "It can be seen from the way this person writes that he obviously has no calligraphy foundation, but he accidentally came close to the 'cursive script' that Uncle Shen once mentioned."

“Cursive?”

Ye Taoyuan heard that the Uncle Shen Ye Xuan was referring to was Shen Yi Shao.

But she had never heard of 'Cursive Script'.

Ye Xuan said: "Uncle Shen mentioned it once when he was chatting with my uncle. The strokes of cursive writing are connected, and the characters are wild and varied. It is learned from things, virtuous from the heart, and enlightened from images."

"Uncle Shen can only write this kind of 'cursive script' when he is drunk and in high spirits. At first glance, the handwriting is so sloppy that you can't even tell what he wrote. But only a master of calligraphy can feel the momentum, artistic conception and various emotions in the handwriting."

"If the first half of Zhiyuan's article is about knowing the form and understanding the changes of martial arts, then the second half of Chentang's article is about understanding the spirit and meaning of martial arts."

After a pause, Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought without saying a word.

"what happened?"

Ye Taoyuan asked.

Ye Xuan said: "However, there are indeed some strange things in this person's writing. I have never figured it out all along."

"For the character '契' in Ruohe Yiqi, he used a strange stroke that doesn't belong to any font. It looks like some kind of mysterious symbol that contains some kind of truth or law. It's really weird."

Ye Taoyuan smiled and said, "What you said has made me curious. I want to see what this young man looks like."

Ye Xuan said: "There is no rush. Since this person is in Langya Pavilion, we will meet him sooner or later."

Ye Taoyuan suddenly became suspicious and asked, "After all, he is the descendant of Emperor Wu. Now he appears in Langya Pavilion. Does he have any plans? Is the Xiangguo Mansion planning to ask him to take action?"

"Care leads to confusion, Taoyuan, you worry too much."

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Seeing the handwriting is like seeing the face. Zhiyuan's handwriting shows that he has a gentle and modest character. And this man's handwriting shows that he is free and unrestrained, generous and open-minded. He will never obey someone like Xia Daozi."

"What's more, he just walked side by side with Zhiyuan and Song Wu, and they were very close. If you don't trust him, how can you not trust Zhiyuan?"

"Right."

Ye Taoyuan nodded.

The two came to a cliff. Ye Xuan stopped and looked at the clouds in the distance. He said, "This man is a ruthless man. He is very bold. He did several shocking things in Beiqian. Now that he has come to Daxia, I wonder how much waves he will cause in the martial arts world."

Ye Taoyuan said: "He is not very old, and his cultivation should not be very high. He won't cause too much trouble, right?"

"It's hard to say. When he was in Beiqian, his cultivation was even lower. Moreover, according to my speculation, even among the younger generation of Daxia, there are only a handful of people who can surpass him."

Ye Xuan sighed: "Young people are really formidable."

"The evaluation is so high?"

Ye Taoyuan was surprised.

In less than half a day, Ye Xuan gave such high praise to the two young men. In the past ten years, there seemed to be no younger generation who could catch his eye.

Ye Taoyuan thought about it and suddenly laughed, "I don't know about others, but Yu Shi is definitely better than him."

"Yu Shi is also very strong-willed. He has been hiding his identity all these years because he doesn't want to rely on your power and connections to make such a big name in the martial arts world and win the top spot on the list."

"Everyone in the world only knows that she is the Jade Flute Fairy, but no one knows that she is the daughter of your Marshal Xuan."

"I heard that she has already cleared her meridians when she came back this time? I think she is the best among the younger generation, so you can go and be happy."

When talking about his precious daughter, Ye Xuan did not hide his pride. He raised his chin slightly, pride was in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

But he said, "Humph, what do you mean by being strong? This kid is just blaming me and doesn't want to have anything to do with me."

"But you are right. She has improved her skills after returning from overseas. She is truly unmatched among the younger generation and can still suppress Chen Tang."
