The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

[In the 128th year of the Sword Dao Era, Chen Xuan, alone, wiped out the forces of the Sword Dao... No, those foolish fellows do not represent the Sword Dao.]

They deserved to die! They died a worthy and painless death! Let's raise a toast!

Chen Xuan entered the Sword Tomb and destroyed the very essence of swordsmanship with a single sword strike; all the bloody, murderous swords shattered.

The birthplace of swordsmanship, a sacred ground for countless sword cultivators, was destroyed in an instant due to the evil intentions of the leader of swordsmanship.

From then on, the way of the sword declined greatly and never recovered. Without the understanding of sword intent, the cultivation of swordsmen became extremely difficult, and their combat power was greatly reduced.

[What a load of rubbish about being the leader of swordsmanship! I only know I have extraordinary talent, and the reason I only reached the third level of Qi Refining at ninety-nine years old is all your fault!]

"I never imagined that Li Bai would still be such a radical and indignant person in his later years." Lin Xiaoman felt as if she had just seen something new.

"What do you mean by late years? After he comprehended the sword path and broke through to a higher realm, he extended his lifespan to two hundred years old. At most, he can only be considered middle-aged."

Ye Li tapped Lin Xiaoman's forehead.

Dr. Wang lamented, "That kendo leader has really done a lot of harm. He led kendo astray for his own selfish gain."

"There's no way around it; cultivation is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Three hundred and fifty years before the Sword Dao Era, plus the preceding thousand-year cultivation era, not a single person has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"You could say that Shangguan Wanyi is half a Nascent Soul cultivator. When Pei Jianzun emerged from seclusion 350 years ago and officially entered the Nascent Soul stage, he was truly the number one person."

"Doctor, I almost forgot about that. It seems that Pei Jianzun really was the first person to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"In these autobiographies, I saw him being beaten up repeatedly, and I almost really believed that he was weak."

Lin Xiaoman's mouth moved faster than her brain, and she blurted everything out in one breath.

Ye Li rolled her eyes at her, "When has Master ever been weak? In his entire life, only a handful of people have ever defeated him, and those were only in the early to mid-stages."

She has always had considerable confidence in her master's strength.

……

Four hundred years into the era of swordsmanship, I entered the Sword Tomb with the conviction that I would die, only to find that it had quietly undergone a transformation.

[The original essence of the sword path was indeed destroyed by Chen Xuan, but no one knows, dares not imagine, and finds it difficult to imagine how he did it...]

A new origin of swordsmanship has been quietly born after more than two hundred years!

[After I unintentionally activated it, on this day, sword energy shot out for thirty thousand miles, and all the spiritual swords of sword cultivators in the world floated in the air, bowing in submission towards the direction of the Sword Tomb.]

From this point on, the declining art of swordsmanship saw a turning point.

Sword cultivators from all over the world began their pilgrimage, proclaiming the rise of the sword path, taking three steps and bowing nine times, and ordering them to rush to the Sword Tomb.

After two hundred years of neglect, the Sword Tomb was revitalized, attracting sword cultivators who began to comprehend the essence of swordsmanship.

[Someone stood before the broken sword, closed their eyes, concentrated for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.]

[He grasped the essence of the Gale Sword in an instant, his body surrounded by a powerful gust of wind, and his sword strikes were as fast as a streak of light.]

Some people quietly bathe in the spiritual light of the ancient sword, their minds merging with the eternal sword intent.

[Having suddenly comprehended the essence of the Abyss Sword, his aura became steady and profound; a single sword strike could subdue mountains and rivers.]

[Some have even comprehended countless unparalleled sword intents, such as the biting frost, the vast blue sky, the boundless ancient times, and the ethereal flowing clouds.]

In an instant, countless sword intents resonated within the Sword Tomb, some sharp, some powerful, some graceful, and some domineering.

Countless sharp rays of light soared into the sky, crisscrossing and intertwining, causing the sea of ​​clouds to surge and the heavens and earth to tremble.

At the same time, the spiritual swords that had been brewing underground for a long time pierced through the dust and soared into the air.

[Azure Edge, Cold Moon, Crimson Sky, Flowing Clouds—these four great spiritual swords of the world were born at this moment.]

[A dazzling light, swirling through the air, shimmering with iridescent colors, the sword's clear and resonant cry shakes the heavens.]

Seeing this scene, countless sword cultivators wept bitterly. After a hundred years of arduous training, they finally witnessed the flourishing of the sword path, and their perseverance had found meaning.

Who says the way of the sword is inferior to other paths? We sword cultivators should have an unyielding heart and reign supreme under heaven.

[The era of swordsmanship has lasted for four hundred years. Swordsmanship has flourished, and a golden age has begun, starting with Chen Xuan.]

All sword techniques under heaven originate from the sword varieties he left behind, and his sword intent is what makes him the ancestor of swords.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"So it seems that Chen Xuan can be called the Sword Ancestor!" Lin Xiaoman exclaimed excitedly.

A glimmer of light appeared in Dr. Wang's eyes as well; such a person is truly legendary.

He quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "But do you think that's possible?"

"Chen Xuan's swordsmanship is indeed terrifyingly strong, but how can he condense the essence of swordsmanship?"

"The sword intent that those sword cultivators comprehended all came from the sword seed he left behind..."

"In other words, Chen Xuan must first thoroughly comprehend the thousands upon thousands of sword intents that sword cultivators have grasped."

"To comprehend even one sword intent is already a feat of extraordinary talent; how could he possibly comprehend so many?"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Ye Li subconsciously tightened her grip on Yue Liushuang. Although she acknowledged that Chen Xuan was very powerful and held an unparalleled position in swordsmanship.

But to comprehend so much sword intent... is truly a pipe dream.

Could there be something else going on here?

……

Nothing is impossible in this world.

"There's nothing I can't do, only things I don't want to do."

"At least, that's the case in the realm of cultivation."

In the courtyard, facing Lu Yao's curious questions, Chen Xuan calmly explained.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and continued chopping wood with the Tai Xuan Sword.

Food cooked over a wood fire is the most delicious.

"Senior brother, but I can't do it. I'm following your instructions and circulating the Suhua Sutra eighteen times a day."

"Every time I reach the eighth cycle, I'm so exhausted I collapse on the bed and can't control it. Eighteen cycles is simply impossible," Lu Yao said with a bitter face.

According to my senior brother, my talent is not rare throughout history, so how come I can't even meet my senior brother's most basic requirements?

"That can't be right. When I first started cultivating, I could circulate my energy for as many times as I wanted. I've already allocated you the minimum required amount."

Chen Xuan was somewhat skeptical. He put down the Tai Xuan Sword, then grasped Lu Yao's hand and carefully sensed it.

Then, his brows relaxed. "Yes, it was my oversight. It wasn't that I underestimated your talent, but that I underestimated the Suhua Sutra."

"You really can't handle eighteen cycles."

Lu Yao quickly pressed on, "Senior brother, what level of cultivation technique is this Suhua Scripture?"

"I don't know, I stole it from the Moon Palace."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "It should be considered a cultivation technique at the level of immortals and gods. I didn't ask much at the time, and before I knew it, I had killed them all."

Lu Yao: ...

Senior brother, what you're saying is really scary!

"The Moon Palace? Isn't that just a myth? Could there really be a Moon Palace in the world?"

"The Moon Palace does exist, and many myths and legends are indeed true."

Chen Xuan nodded. "Just focus on cultivating the Suhua Scripture. The characteristic of this technique is that it starts slowly and then speeds up, so it doesn't require much comprehension."

"When the time comes, it's even possible to ascend to heaven on the spot."

There's no such thing as instantly ascending to heaven after eating an elixir. The legend of Chang'e flying to the moon only exists because the people in the Moon Palace cultivate the Suhua Sutra.
