Starting with warding off evil and disaster, one can ascend to immortality after countless tribulati

Upon hearing Sword Master's words, a hint of doubt flashed through Jiang Ming's mind.

He heard more than once that someone was plotting against him.

Now, finally someone is willing to show up and communicate with him in person.

Although being used wasn't a pleasant feeling, Jiang Ming had come to accept it after learning about the secrets of Nascent Soul cultivators.

In this world, every cultivator has their own cage. A cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm wants to establish a foundation, but establishing a foundation is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and very few can succeed.

This is even more true once one reaches the Golden Core realm.

Because the success rate was too low, some cultivators went to another path and created the Purple Mansion realm. In fact, this was a last resort. If it weren't for the fact that there was only one Golden Core True Monarch, everyone would probably start seeking the Golden Core after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

"It's good that you can accept being used by others without any unrealistic fantasies. You won't be too disappointed after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Although I cannot reveal some secrets about the Nascent Soul Realm for the time being, I can tell you one thing.

The Nascent Soul Realm is by no means aloof and unrestrained; on the contrary, this realm is fraught with too much helplessness. One could even say that those in the Nascent Soul Realm are less free than those in the Golden Core Realm.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming was immediately surprised and found it hard to believe what the Sword Lord had said.

The statement that Nascent Soul cultivators are not as free as Golden Core cultivators reveals a great deal of information. It seems that something must have happened to punish Nascent Soul cultivators.

Otherwise, given their extraordinary abilities, they would certainly not be considered unfree.

"Could you elaborate, senior? I am quite interested in this."

"Yes, Nascent Soul cultivators are like pigs raised in captivity. Each one can be killed. They may seem high and mighty, but in the eyes of Deity Transformation cultivators, they are no different from chickens and dogs."

Simply put, the Immortal Pivot can accommodate seven Nascent Soul cultivators. After becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, you will be teleported to an area called the Other Shore by the rules of the Immortal Pivot.

It sounds righteous, but in reality, this was created by Nascent Soul cultivators to supervise Core Formation cultivators. The Nascent Soul realm is a transcendent existence. In the vast world, this realm is the only one that can transcend the Great Dao. There are many ways to transcend, but only one has been passed down: kill all Core Formation cultivators of the same realm. However, this is extremely difficult.

In a sense, it's almost impossible. You can imagine how high the price would be if you had to kill all the Golden Core True Monarchs to become a Nascent Soul cultivator all by yourself.

For this reason, the Primordial Sage Daoist Lord came up with a method that, although not verified, was generally feasible.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, this is already a very good solution.

This method involves an important concept called subtraction to find the empty space.

Simply put, the number of Great Daos in this world is limited. Once a Nascent Soul cultivator masters a certain Great Dao, he will be remembered by Heaven and Earth.

However, the Nascent Soul realm emphasizes transcendence.

There are only two ways to transcend the world: one is to master enough of the Great Dao to break free from the control of Heaven and Earth, which is the crudest method.

Slaughter all the Nascent Soul cultivators and seize their Dao.

Seeking emptiness through reduction is a clever method. It requires the cultivator to find a suitable substitute, which, in layman's terms, means giving up one's own path to someone else.

If all the cultivators who can get involved are at the Nascent Soul stage, and they all work together to break through the blockade of heaven and earth the moment they relinquish the Great Dao, they will have the opportunity to transcend the world and become Nascent Soul cultivators.

With this level of cultivation, there are many things one can do. According to ancient records, this level of cultivation allows one to create a world of one's own, transcending heaven and earth and beyond the Great Dao. This is a realm that any cultivator would covet.

Currently, there are three entities embedded in you: myself, Dao Zun, and Yuan Chu.

The great path I have mastered is called the Way of the Sword, which advocates decisive and ruthless killing.

This is probably the most aggressive of all unorthodox methods, and its power is comparable to that of orthodox ones.

My purpose in descending to the mortal realm this time is to pass on the Dao of Sword to you. After you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, I will also bestow upon you a Great Dao, which is called Destiny.

In truth, there is some kind of karmic connection between you and me.

Do you still remember the warnings about warding off evil and disaster? They haven't appeared for a long time.

Because this is my Great Dao, after I chose you in the beginning of time, in order to help you grow, I deliberately used a little trick to disguise it as a mysterious power. Now that your cultivation has improved, many difficulties are no longer a problem for you.

I then released the power of fate.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming suddenly understood. At the same time, he also realized the Sword Sovereign's intention. The reason she came down to the mortal realm to find him was simply to pass on the sword path to him first, so that he could take over her position in the future.

Although he knew it was inappropriate to ask certain questions, Jiang Ming still mustered his courage and asked, "Senior, now that I've accepted your great path, is there still a possibility for me to transcend?"

"It's hard to say, but there's one thing I need to tell you: if you don't take over our Great Dao, you won't even be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

Currently, there are six Nascent Soul cultivators, and one spot remains.

To be honest, this position is controlled by us. Whoever can become a Nascent Soul cultivator needs the consent of all six of us. Currently, the remaining two Dao Lords are in a wait-and-see state.

The remaining four all support the strategy of reducing short positions.

However, the Buddha was not powerful enough, and I forcibly persuaded him to withdraw.

You cannot become a Nascent Soul without our consent.

Right now, you have two paths in front of you: one is to obediently accept it, and the other is to be forced to accept it. In fact, no matter what, the outcome is not too bad.

However, if you have your own ideas and sincerely want to disrupt our plans, we don't mind waiting a little longer; we'll just train someone else.

You've been cultivating for less than a hundred years, yet you're already close to the Nascent Soul realm.

This is only the result of my behind-the-scenes efforts. If it were someone else, Yuan Chu and Dao Zun would also be involved.

In that time, perhaps within a few decades, a new chosen one could be cultivated...

I'm just being upfront about this now: as long as you behave well, we're still willing to train you...

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded, a hint of doubt rising in his mind. He still had two questions that he didn't quite understand.

The first one is Zhou Jun. As the previous master of the Heavenly Fire, Jiang Ming doesn't believe that he doesn't have the support of the Dao Lord.

"Was Zhou Jun also part of the seniors' plan? Also, if an outsider becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, will they also occupy a position on the Other Shore?"

"Of course, he was my first pawn, but after meeting you, he became useless."

Are you currently experiencing a reading slump? Check out these Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) novel recommendations! It's a joint scheme by three Nascent Soul cultivators, whose status is top-tier throughout the entire Immortal Pivot. If any cultivators cause you trouble later, we'll secretly help you resolve it.

However, you probably won't need it. After you master my swordsmanship, your strength will reach a new level, and at that time, among those of the same realm, your attack power will be the strongest.

Even if there is a difference of one small realm, there is still hope of victory.

The heretical Dao Lord will naturally occupy the position on the other shore.

You want to ask about the situation on behalf of Luo Yushu, is that right?

Then I might as well tell you, advise her to give up on that idea. Before you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, no one can break through smoothly. If you don't want to die and perish, then wait a little longer.

After the subtraction and emptiness verification is completed, there will definitely be Nascent Soul cultivators making their moves, and at that time she might have a chance.

Jiang Ming nodded, a look of interest on his face.

I am genuinely curious about Kendo.

Seeing this, Sword Lord smiled gently, his usually cold voice now warmer.

"This is my disciple, Murong Xue. Although only an avatar is here, her grasp of the sword is still very profound. From now on, she will be in charge of passing on the sword skills. Do whatever you want..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the swordsman left Murong Xue's body. At the same time, an unusual blush rose on the female cultivator's body, and she covered her lips with a shy expression.

If he were to act now, he could indeed easily obtain the swordsmanship inheritance, but Jiang Ming had always disdained to take advantage of others in their time of need.

However, Jianjun's movements were truly exquisite. Jiang Ming had no idea what she had done. It was best to stay away from her for now, otherwise, he might get into trouble later.

After waiting for a long time, Murong Xue regained her senses and saw Jiang Ming sitting upright, looking like a gentleman. Her face turned red, and she felt a little annoyed.

Jiang Mingfang's decision not to take advantage of her vulnerability, while earning her some respect, also left her feeling troubled.

Since the Sword Lord has given the order, she must do it well, otherwise she will not even be able to save her life.

"Your talent isn't very good. If I were to teach you, it might take too long. Mastering swordsmanship isn't something that can be achieved in a short time."

"If you want to speed things up, you'll have to use a trick. There's a Taoist dual cultivation method that allows you to share insights. Would you like to try it?"

After speaking, Murong Xue blushed immediately. In order to complete the Sword Lord's mission, she was completely going all out. After speaking frankly, she lowered her head and silently waited for Jiang Ming's reply.

Jiang Ming stepped forward and helped Murong Xue undress.

The beauty is revealed, and the scenery is exceptionally charming.

Murong Xue's figure wasn't particularly outstanding, but it was well-proportioned, with curves in the right places and slenderness in the right places. Coupled with her alluring and coquettish temperament, it was hard not to make Jiang Ming feel attracted.

"To impart knowledge and skills, you should be my teacher. Master Murong, take this!"

With a muffled groan, a touch of spring filled the room, and the creaking and groaning sounds continued like a gentle spring rain, nourishing things silently.

With Murong Xue's initiative in passing on her skills, Jiang Ming gained a clear understanding of the Dao of the Sword, a Dao that is very simple and straightforward.

With Murong Xue's initiative in passing on her skills, Jiang Ming gained a clear understanding of the Dao of the Sword, a Dao that is very simple and straightforward.

If you don't make a move, all is well; but if you do, you must be determined to kill your opponent with a single sword strike. Only in this way can you truly reveal some of the essence of swordsmanship.

"Fellow Daoist, I have already taught you more than half of the sword technique. Don't bite off more than you can chew. We can talk about the rest another day."

Show me what you've accomplished today.

With a flushed face and an expression of submission, Murong Xue spoke in a barely audible voice, pleading softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming did not refuse. Although Murong Xue had an outstanding temperament and a well-proportioned figure, ultimately, she was not Jiang Ming's type. While a well-proportioned figure was good, Jiang Ming honestly preferred someone with a more prominent figure.

Either you need big, exceptionally large breasts, or you need a particularly plump, exceptionally large buttock. If neither of those are possible, long, shapely legs will do. Otherwise, it's a bit of a dull experience.

Murong Xue now gives Jiang Ming a boring feeling.

If it weren't for their desire to learn the way of the sword, the two probably would never have crossed paths.

"This sword is one of my personal swords, and it can be considered a top-grade divine weapon. Use it to demonstrate the sword techniques I just taught you. If there are no problems, you will have mastered one-tenth of the sword cultivation methods."

Jiang Ming frowned, surprised that there were so many techniques in swordsmanship; he had only learned a small part of them.

So, does that mean I'll have to do it a few more times?

"Don't be impatient for quick results. Sword Lord's methods are naturally very simple and elegant, but if I directly teach you the ultimate moves, you probably won't be able to absorb and digest them. Even through dual cultivation, you can't quickly master them. The only way is for me to pass on the basics to you first, and then find time to practice the ultimate techniques."

Those with a solid foundation will be able to learn new things more quickly.

After explaining, Murong Xue began to instruct Jiang Ming.

"That's not the right way to strike. It's not fast enough, and it's not ruthless enough. It should be like this: go straight for the vital points, without any unnecessary movements, and kill the opponent with a single move..."

"That's getting interesting, but you're not quite proficient yet. That's normal, though. There aren't many decent sword cultivation lineages in the Immortal Pivot. You've been cultivating here for a long time, so naturally you're not very familiar with the way of the sword."

After receiving some guidance, Jiang Ming indeed benefited greatly.

Although Murong Xue was unremarkable, her understanding of swordsmanship was indeed very clear. With just a few words of guidance, she reduced Jiang Ming's training pressure, making her a truly good teacher and friend.

"Let me teach you the next part."

Shyly removing her clothes, Murong Xue stared intently at Jiang Ming, giving him whatever he wanted.

……

"Put me down, I'm so dizzy." Murong Xue whimpered, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling with desire.

She underestimated Jiang Ming's methods. At first, she thought this kind of thing should be boring, but now that she has experienced it herself, she finds it quite interesting, much more interesting than cultivating swordsmanship.

"Dizziness is normal, just bear with it a little longer..."

Hearing this, Murong Xue rolled her eyes at Jiang Ming, then pinched his waist with a hint of resentment, "At least be gentler..."

After the storm, the surging white waves ceased their dance.

Jiang Ming's understanding of swordsmanship has reached a new level.

Although Murong Xue only taught the basics, these were the foundation for cultivating other techniques. Once he had mastered the basics, he would be able to cultivate the Sword Lord's strongest methods and the method for forging sword pellets.

By then, their strength will have greatly improved, and their chances of winning will be much greater, whether facing the returning Zhou Jun or the invading ancient demons.

It seems like Bare hasn't come to see me in a long time. Could something have happened to him...?
