Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 8 The Cause of Dormancy
The voice was obviously filled with anger, causing everyone who was smiling just now to be surprised. They turned their heads to look at Shen Tiannan in confusion. Shen Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, my cousin has created a top-grade earth-level martial art, and his strength is so strong, how come you..."

Shen Tiannan glanced at Shen Qingshan and said, "Let me ask you, what was Ping An's cultivation level in the past?"

"The ninth level of Tongmai Realm! Isn't this something everyone knows?" Shen Qingshan responded subconsciously.

Shen Tiannan frowned: "What is Ping An's current level of cultivation?"

Shen Qingshan opened his mouth to answer, but when the words came to his lips, he scratched his head and said, "I don't know, but my cousin said that he is invincible in the Tianren realm, so his cultivation must have reached the Tiangang realm!"

"Then do you think Ping An can reach the Tian Gang Realm from the ninth level of Tongmai Realm in just one day?"

Shen Qingshan said without thinking: "In just one day, he entered the Tiangang Realm from the ninth level of the Tongmai Realm. How can this be..."

Halfway through his words, Shen Qingshan paused as if he had realized something.

"That's right! No one can advance from the Tongmai Realm to the Tiangang Realm in just one day. Does that mean my cousin has been hiding his true level of cultivation?"

Shen Tiannan asked with a nostalgic look on his face, "Do you still remember what happened to the Wang family ten years ago?"

A clan member said without hesitation, "Of course I remember. Ten years ago, when Cao Zhengchun had just taken charge of the East Factory, many families in the capital saw the East Factory's power and took the initiative to join it."

"The Wang family and my Shen family have been at odds for a long time due to business matters. After the Wang family joined the East Factory, they used the power of the East Factory to suppress our Shen family and took away a lot of our business."

"That year, Ping An's father traveled extensively for the Shen family's business, and ultimately died of illness from overwork."

At this moment, an elder of the Shen family seemed to realize what Shen Tiannan meant and said with a melancholy tone, "It was also in that year that Ping An, who was only ten years old, began to live in seclusion and immersed himself in the martial art of 'Sword Drawing' for ten years."

Finally, the elder looked at Shen Tiannan and said, "So, Tiannan, what you're saying is that from that time on, Ping An began to hide his incompetence and deliberately conceal his cultivation?"

Shen Tiannan nodded, a look of helplessness on his face. "After Cao Zhengchun took charge of the East Depot, he went around recruiting talented people to join the East Depot. I heard that after the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi founded the Guarding Dragon Villa, he has also been secretly recruiting talents."

"Ping An was exceptionally gifted. Even when he was young, his ambition, talent, and even innate ability were unmatched by ordinary people."

"In terms of talent alone, even compared to Zhang Zhenren of Wudang, I'm afraid he's not inferior."

"Once news of Ping'an's extraordinary talent leaks out, not to mention whether the East Factory and Hulong Villa will be overjoyed, just the Wang family alone, do you think they will sit idly by and watch such a talented young man from our Shen family grow up safely?"

The Shen family figured out the key, and everyone's face showed enlightenment.

"No wonder the head of the family ordered us not to talk about peace outside."

Shen Tiannan shook his head and said, "Ten years ago, Ping An originally wanted to join the Wudang Sect. With Ping An's talent, if he had joined Wudang earlier and learned the Wudang martial arts, I'm afraid he would have been as famous as Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue by now."

"Today, Ping An is able to create a top-grade earth-level martial art and possess his current strength, all due to his own efforts. If it weren't for the burden of my Shen family, why would a genius like Ping An be forced to lie dormant for ten years?"

"Now you are all so smug, are you acting like elders at all?"

Shen Tiannan's words made the other members of the Shen family feel ashamed.

Even Shen Qingshan was surprised at this moment: "I didn't expect that my cousin had thought so much about this ten years ago!"

Shen Tiannan glared at Shen Qingshan.

"Ping'an is precocious, do you think everyone is as heartless as you? After being with Ping'an for so long, not only can you not see anything, but even your cultivation level is still at the Tongmai realm."

Shen Qingshan muttered, "When you were my age, weren't you only at the Tongmai realm?"

Hearing Shen Qingshan's words, Shen Tiannan raised the big hand in his sleeve and hit the back of Shen Qingshan's head.

"Can it be the same?"

Seeing Shen Tiannan being unreasonable, Shen Qingshan could only curl his lips and lower his head. Seeing this look of dissatisfaction, Shen Tiannan couldn't help but clench his fists, repeatedly reassuring himself in his heart, "They are my own children, I can't be so cruel to them," before he suppressed his anger.

After exhaling, Shen Tiannan said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to leak what happened today. Just like before, no one is allowed to discuss anything related to Ping An. No one is allowed to provoke trouble on weekdays."

"From now on, in the Shen family, everything will be based on peace. If it's peace, it's my word as the head of the family."

On the other side, after returning to the courtyard, Shen Pingan did not rest, but stood quietly in the courtyard with his eyes closed, quietly feeling the changes in himself.

After a while, Shen Ping'an raised his right hand, and with a slight thought, a wisp of white true energy leaped out from the tip of his index finger and hung an inch in the air.

However, this strand of Shen Ping'an's true qi was different from the ordinary true qi that was as elusive as clouds. Instead, it was faintly in the shape of a sword, like a miniature sword condensed from true qi.

But when the eyes fall on this sword-shaped true energy, it gives people a sharp feeling as if touching a real sword.

After looking around for a few seconds, Shen Ping'an lightly tapped the ground with his fingertips.

"laugh!"

As this strand of sword-shaped true energy passed through the stone bricks on the ground, it actually left a sword mark three feet long, one inch wide, and three feet deep on the hard stone bricks.

"It's worthy of being a top-grade Heavenly Rank technique. Just a wisp of true energy can be so powerful."

Afterwards, during Shen Ping'an's attempts, the true energy sometimes turned into a long whip that was soft, boneless and nimble like a snake, and sometimes shot out with unparalleled momentum, stirring up a strong wind.

After a moment, Shen Pingan took a step forward.

The next moment, strands of sword energy burst out from under his feet, and Shen Ping'an's body instantly crossed three feet and appeared at the entrance of the courtyard from the center of the courtyard.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like the magical power of shrinking the distance into an inch in the storybooks.

"Not bad!"

After some attempts, Shen Pingan nodded with satisfaction.

"The Innate Invisible Sword Qi that Breaks the Body" is a martial art that is a fusion of "The Innate Formless Finger Sword" and "The Innate Formless Divine Art". It is not simply a technique.

It also includes complementary martial arts.

It also contains a matching martial art.

There are five kinds of sword techniques: bounce, soft, straight, hegemony and toe.

【Toe Sword】: Stepping on the sword energy, coming and going lightly like the wind.

【Ba Jian】: Extremely strong and indestructible.

[Soft Sword]: Sharp and soft to the bone, as flexible as a whip, agile and fast.

[Zhengjian]: It combines the strength of the tyrant sword and the dexterity of the soft sword.

【Sword Bounce】: Sword energy turns into a ball and is ejected from the ring finger.

It can be said to have both offensive and defensive capabilities, and contains lightness skills and body techniques, with endless uses.

At this moment, Shen Pingan suddenly frowned slightly.
