BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83: Sect Leader Summons (oth
“Elder Lu, the Sect Leader has ordered you to go to Ten Thousand Swords Peak at the back of the mountain.”
A disciple from Mount Shu came to report.
Lu Changsheng had just returned to Qingyun Peak not long ago, and was about to reward Lin Qingzhi with a Flying Sword when the disciple of Sect Leader Grandmaster Taiyuan from Mount Shu came to summon him.
Grandmaster Taiyuan often secluded himself for closed-door cultivation, and Lu Changsheng had almost forgotten about this nominal master of his.
He wondered what Grandmaster Taiyuan wanted to discuss with him?
Lu Changsheng flew on his sword to Ten Thousand Swords Peak, where Grandmaster Taiyuan was cultivating in seclusion.
In front of a rock face covered with myriad sword scars, Grandmaster Taiyuan stood with his hands behind him, watching the sword wall. As Lu Changsheng approached Ten Thousand Swords Peak, Grandmaster Taiyuan was already aware of his presence.
I ve heard about your achievements during your recent descent from the mountain. Your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, unbelievably so. It seems that the Ancestral Master really did impart his dream to you.” Grandmaster Taiyuan turned around, his eyes like vast stars, his cultivation unfathomable.
Grandmaster Taiyuan had been a renowned figure for three thousand years, and his cultivation had surely reached the Void Refinement Realm. As for how profound his cultivation was, even Lu Changsheng found it difficult to discern. To explain the rapid advance in his cultivation, Lu Changsheng came up with the excuse that it was due to the Ancestral Master’s imparted dream.
And Grandmaster Taiyuan actually believed it.
Because the Ancestral Master’s imparted dreams had indeed happened many times before.
“The Ancestral Master is an extraordinary figure who ascended to the Immortal Realm tens of thousands of years ago. His repeated imparting of dreams to the Mortal World indicates that he is still alive.”
When mentioning the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu, even Grandmaster Taiyuan couldn’t help but be filled with yearning.
That being said, the Taiqing Wuji Technique is a cultivation technique that only the Sect Leader and candidates for the position are permitted to learn Since the Ancestral Master imparted the dream, it shows that you have a fate with our Mount Shu. I summoned you here today specifically to explain the Taiqing Wuji Technique to you in detail. Which level of the Taiqing Wuji Technique have you cultivated to?”
“Master, your disciple has fully comprehended the sixth layer and has partially comprehended the seventh layer,” Lu Changsheng replied.
“Oh? Your comprehension is so high, truly astounding,” Grandmaster Taiyuan expressed in surprise.
Even with his many years of experience, Grandmaster Taiyuan was shocked by the speed at which Lu Changsheng was cultivating the Taiqing Wuji Technique. Grandmaster Taiyuan himself cultivated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, which was a top-level Heaven Rank cultivation technique, abstruse and difficult to understand. Yet, Lu Changsheng had cultivated it to the sixth layer while in the Dao Palace Realm and had even begun to understand part of the seventh layer, indicating a rare talent in cultivation.
Lu Changsheng had an Innate Taoist Body and had consumed an Enlightenment Pill, which was why his comprehension of the Taiqing Wuji Technique was so swift.
After all, it was the Ancestral Master’s imparted dream,” Lu Changsheng said. Whenever there was an issue, Lu Changsheng attributed it to the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu.
After all, since the Ancestral Master had ascended, no one knew what benefits he had imparted to Lu Changsheng in the dream.
“No wonder,” Grandmaster Taiyuan, not doubting the Ancestral Master’s divine skills, said, “then I will take some time each month from now on to explain the seventh layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique to you.” “Thank you, master,” Lu Changsheng replied. Finding Grandmaster Taiyuan to be beneficial, he ventured to ask, “May I know which layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique Master has cultivated to?”
“The ninth layer,” said Grandmaster Taiyuan.
As expected, Grandmaster Taiyuan’s cultivation was profoundly mysterious.
Lu Changsheng admired him in secret.
Among the six great Sect Leaders, Grandmaster Taiyuan was able to become the foremost figure of his generation, surpassing even the Fairy Pavilion Master, which spoke volumes about the height of his cultivation.
Grandmaster Taiyuan’s mastery of the Taiqing Wuji Technique was already perfect. With guidance on the seventh layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique from Grandmaster Taiyuan, it was as if Lu Changsheng was suddenly enlightened, and the parts that he had not previously understood became clear.
This was the equivalent of having a master’s guidance, which made progress twice as effective.
Given Lu Changsheng’s Innate Taoist Body, which naturally led to easy comprehension, and Grandmaster Taiyuan’s teachings, Lu Changsheng estimated that he would soon fully comprehend the seventh layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique.
“Your comprehension even surpasses that of your eldest senior brother,” Grandmaster Taiyuan remarked upon realizing how exceptional Lu Changsheng’s comprehension was.
With an Innate Taoist Body suited for enlightenment, Lu Changsheng could make rapid progress in whatever he studied.
Senior Brother Li Changye’s Eternal Wilderness Body tends more towards the Martial King Divine Physique, lacking the Comprehension of an Innate Taoist Body.
That s all for today’s lecture. Once you have digested it, come find your master.”
“Yes.”
Just as Lu Changsheng was about to take his leave, he suddenly noticed the stone wall in front of Grandmaster Taixu.
On this stone wall were myriad sword marks, some deep, some shallow, some vertical, some horizontal, some clear, and some vague.
“These sword marks…”
These are the sword intents left by the successive Sect Leaders of Mount Shu. This stone wall is known as the ‘Ten Thousand Swords Wall,’ its value not inferior to an Immortal Artifact. If you settle your mind and observe closely, you may benefit greatly.”
Upon hearing this from Grandmaster Taixu, Lu Changsheng calmed his heart and looked at one of the sword marks, as if he saw a figure standing between heaven and earth, a single slash shattering hills and severing rivers.
This one slash could destroy the heavens and the earth.
The Sword Qi eventually flew towards Lu Changsheng, engulfing him.
In front of this slash, Lu Changsheng seemed so insignificant that he couldn’t muster the thought to resist.
This is Grandmaster Taixu’s sword intent.”
Grandmaster Taixu reminded him, and Lu Changsheng then awoke from the sword intent.
What terrifying sword intent.
Each Sect Leader of Mount Shu was a Sword Cultivator, and the sword intent left by each was incredibly astonishing.
“With your current level of cultivation, spending too much time observing these sword intents can trap you deeply. A quick glance for now can yield much benefit. Once you reach the Void Refinement Realm, you can watch for longer periods and might have a different experience.”
“The disciple will keep this in mind.”
Lu Changsheng also found the sword intents left on this stone wall too astounding, even to someone in the Dao Palace Realm could hardly withstand their profundity.
Lu Changsheng performed Sword Flight, leaving Ten Thousand Swords Peak, turning into a streak of light that pierced through the sea of clouds.
“Taiyuan, your disciple is truly remarkable. His progress in the Taiqing Wuji Technique is much faster than yours when you were young.”
An old janitor holding a broom appeared from behind the stone wall, a figure even Lu Changsheng had not noticed before.
“Indeed. This disciple’s potential is limitless, and his future achievements may surpass even mine.”
Grandmaster Taixu acknowledged as well.
At Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng returned to his cave dwelling and sat down immediately in meditation to digest and comprehend.
The seventh layer of Taiqing Wuji Technique and the understanding of the sword intent on the stone wall fortified Lu Changsheng’s foundation even more.
It took two days for Lu Changsheng to fully digest and comprehend.
Then, Lu Changsheng summoned his eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi.
Lin Qingzhi had perfected his Cultivation Technique and Swordsmanship, and Lu Changsheng intended to impart to him more advanced techniques and sword arts.
Furthermore, Lin Qjngzhi’s Green Abyss Sword had completely shattered during his exchange with Xiao Xiangdao, necessitating a higher-quality Flying Sword for him.
“I heard your Flying Sword was damaged?”
“Because it was the first treasure Master gave to his disciple, even though it was damaged, the disciple has collected all the fragments.”
“Oh?”
Lu Changsheng didn’t expect that Lin Qingzhi would be so earnestly sentimental.
“Today, your master has summoned you here to bestow upon you a new treasure. This is the low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, the ‘Green Cloud Sword’.”
Lu Changsheng took out a new Flying Sword.
Now that Lin Qingzhi had entered the Nascent Soul Realm, Lu Changsheng could finally reward Lin Qingzhi with a higher-grade treasure.
