The sky-covering technique begins, and the rising moon over the sea shocks Yue Yao.

As he spoke, there was a slight tremor in his voice.

Baili Changge smiled slightly, looking calm and composed.

"Senior, what I said is true."

"In my recent experience, I felt as if I had become one with the sword's will. Everything became clear to me naturally."

"Senior, please look!"

talking.

Baili Changge waved his hand, and a sword intent wrapped in magic power condensed in his palm, emitting a hazy fluorescent light.

Gu Chen stared at the sword intent in Baili Changge's palm that was emitting a faint fluorescent light.

He hesitated for a moment.

Gu Chen is in a complicated mood now.

He hoped that everything Baili Changge said was true, as this would completely prove that Baili Changge's talent was far beyond his imagination.

But selfishly, he hoped it was fake.

After all, that was the great truth that he had been studying for his entire life but could not obtain, and now someone had comprehended it in just one hour?

How could this make him feel so embarrassed?

But in the end, Gu Chen slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the sword intent.

The moment Gu Chen's fingers touched the sword intent.

Suddenly, a powerful and pure force passed into his body through his fingertips.

Gu Chen closed his eyes and carefully felt the true meaning of swordsmanship contained in this power.

a long time.

Gu Chen opened his eyes.

"How...how is this possible?"

"Changge, you really have understood it!"

"The purity and depth of this sword intent are exactly the same as the Dao Chaotian sword intent I pursue!"

"You're really building on my foundation and going a step further!"

The muscles on Gu Chen's face twitched slightly due to extreme shock, and his voice trembled, barely forming a complete sentence.

His body was frozen in place, as if he had been cast under a spell.

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"How could you have so easily discerned the supreme secret of the sword?"

Gu Chen's eyes were filled with confusion and unwillingness, as if something he had always believed in collapsed in an instant.

"The realm I've spent my entire life pursuing, how could you...you understand it so quickly?

"How embarrassing it is for this old man, how embarrassing it is..."

talking.

There were even tears in Gu Chen's eyes.

It was a complex emotion interwoven with his years of persistent doubts and his shock and joy at Baili Changge's amazing talent.

"Am I too stupid?"

"Or are you a sword prodigy that only appears once in a thousand years?"

Gu Chen muttered to himself, he believed the latter more.

After all, he is a Confucian scholar from Western Chu. If you say he is stupid, then how many people in the world are not stupid?

Baili Changge looked at Gu Chen, who looked devastated, and couldn't help but walk forward.

"Senior, maybe there is an element of luck involved."

"I deeply admire your dedication and devotion to kendo."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head and sighed.

"Long song!"

"You don't have to comfort me. I understand that this can't be luck. Your talent far surpasses mine."

Speaking of which.

Gu Chen calmed down and suddenly laughed: "Although I am shocked, I am actually more relieved."

"only."

"Changge, since you have already understood the meaning of this sword, then you must walk the path of the future uprightly and do not lead this sword path astray. This is my plea to you."

Baili Changge nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Gu Chen smiled slightly and patted Baili Changge on the shoulder: "Okay, then I will wait and see you create a world beyond Li Changsheng in the way of swordsmanship!"

At this time, the bright moon in the sky cast its silver light, illuminating the faces of the two people.

Gu Chen sighed and said, "Changge, maybe this is fate's arrangement."

"We met here, and you understood the sword's meaning, perhaps to fulfill my unfulfilled wish."

Baili Changge listened to Gu Chen's praise, smiled and shook his head.

“I never thought that one day, I would be praised so highly by my seniors.”

Gu Chen heard this.

Thinking back to the past, it seemed that I only knew how to praise Baili Dongjun.

It was a little awkward for a while.

"Back then, my eyesight was blurry and I couldn't see the true form of the Sword Immortal. As a result, I almost missed out on a sword genius like you who only appears once in a thousand years."

Speaking of which.

Gu Chen suddenly said, "Changge, remember what I just said, that I need your help with a small matter?"

"Naturally remember."

Baili Changge nodded, then asked curiously, "I wonder what it is that requires you to ask me for help?"

Gu Chen sighed softly upon hearing this: "Originally, this favor should have been asked to Dong Jun."

talking.

Gu Chen suddenly bowed slightly to Baili Changge.

"Senior, what are you doing? I can't bear it."

After all, Gu Chen had taught him the sword, so Baili Changge still had enough respect for him.

therefore,

Baili Changge hurried forward and wanted to help Gu Chen up.

Gu Chen stubbornly refused to stand up, but continued to speak: "Changge."

"Over the years, I've increasingly felt that my time is running out."

"Although I have many regrets in this life, it has been wonderful enough, and death is nothing to be afraid of."

"But before I die, there's one thing I can't let go of..."

"The inheritance of the sword song of Western Chu."

"Originally, I wanted to pass on the Sword Song of Western Chu to Dongjun, so that the Sword Song of Western Chu (from Wang Zhao) would not be truly lost."

"but."

"It seems that Dong Jun is not interested in the way of swordsmanship, but only wants to be a wine immortal."

"And you are not my disciple. Even if you have a disciple in the future, I'm afraid you won't teach him the Sword Song of Western Chu."

"therefore."

"I only ask that when you accept a disciple in the future, you pass on this Western Chu Sword Song."

"I wonder if you can agree to my request?"

Baili Changge chuckled when he heard this.

"What the senior said is indeed just a small request."

"What's the big deal? I agreed."

"After all, the Sword Song of Western Chu is also an extremely profound sword technique. My future disciples will only benefit from practicing it. Why should I keep it secret?"

Gu Chen looked at Baili Changge who agreed without hesitation, and felt more and more ashamed of his choice back then.

"I'm sorry Changge."

"Just because of your words, this old man has no regrets in this life."

Baili Changge smiled and was about to say something.

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly sounded.

Chapter 68: Complete the mission of unifying the southwest road, new mission, new space

Seeing the system prompt, Baili Changge was stunned at first.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully changing the original plot and intercepting the power of Heaven's Luck. The Unification of the Southwest Road side quest has begun...]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the number of random dying strongmen dropping has increased by 1.]

(Note: The dying person cannot resist. The host can choose to revive them and make them pledge allegiance, or kill them and pat their corpse.)

"The mission of unifying the Southwest Road has been completed."

"It seems that Liuli is really efficient."

"In less than half a month, she has successfully wiped out the remaining hostile forces in the Southwest Road, led by the White Dragon Gang."
