Chapter 64 His Daughters Wash His Face Again!
Lin Ruofei felt extremely bitter, but he didn’t feel any jealousy or hatred towards Lin Xuan.
The only thought in his mind was to work hard to learn from the Consort. Even if he couldn’t become an outstanding man like the Consort, as long as he could become ten to twenty percent as outstanding as him, his life wouldn’t be in vain!
And in the entire Absolute Beginning Holy Land, the person who had the deepest understanding of Lin Xuan’s mantra was naturally the Sacred Lord.
“The empress’ husband is really wise!”
Guan Youyun had reached the Realm of Heart 3500 years ago.
However, in the following years, his attainment in the Sword Dao never underwent a huge breakthrough.
Hearing Lin Xuan’s words, he suddenly felt enlightened.
He had originally thought that extreme offensive power was the key to the Sword Dao.
However, Lin Xuan’s words overturned the traditional understanding of the Sword Dao and made people feel enlightened.
Guan Youyun was certain that as long as he continued to comprehend this mantra, he would definitely be able to break through the Realm of Heart and reach the highest Realm of Dao.
“I originally thought that I would never encounter another benefactor in my life other than my mentor.”
“From the looks of it, the empress’ husband is also my benefactor!”
Guan Youyun looked at Lin Xuan with deep admiration and awe in his eyes.
When they saw that Mu Youging had successfully passed, everyone present praised Lin Xuan. Xuan Zhu and the others were extremely happy. “Daddy is the best!”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“Yes, yes, that’s right!”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, that’s right!”
The little girls climbed to Lin Xuan’s side and hugged his face while kissing him.
Sensing the coolness on his face, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Alright, his face was washed by his daughters again.
Mu Youqing had already reached the Realm of Heart. The Realm of Dao required a long period of tempering, and she knew that she couldn’t complete it.
In order not to delay the other people’s test, she walked down the martial arts arena and came in front of Lin Xuan with a smile.
“Cousin-in-law, I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. If there’s anything you need in the future, just tell me!”
Lin Xuan smiled slightly. “We’re family, so there’s no need to be so polite.”
Mu Youging nodded.
Her cousin-in-law’s nonchalant attitude was very charming.
Next, the test continued.
Mu Youqing took the opportunity to tell Lin Xuan the rules of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land.
According to tradition, Mu Youqing would have to accept the Holy Land’s accreditation after everyone finished their assessment. Because attaining the Realm of Heart was equivalent to attaining a Sword Sect.
They could establish their own sect and their own Sword Dao Sect.
This was a great honor and deserved the admiration and blessings of the entire Holy Land’s disciples.
“We still have to wait so long?”
“It’s so boring!”
The little girls were no longer in the mood to stay in the hall.
They were here to support their aunt. Now that their aunt had succeeded, it would be very boring to wait any longer!
Lin Xuan said dotingly, “Why don’t I bring you guys out to play?”
“Yay!” The four little girls’ eyes instantly lit up.
Mu Youqing said, “I know a mountain in the Holy Land is extremely fun. Why don’t I bring you guys there?”
According to the rules of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land, disciples were allowed to roam around freely after the test.
Mu Youding was a playful person and agreed with the little girls.
After saying goodbye to Guan Youyun, she brought Lin Xuan and the children out of the hall.
After Lin Xuan and the others left, the test continued.
About an hour later, extremely powerful and sharp sword energy suddenly surged in from outside the hall.
After this sword energy appeared, everyone present was shocked.
“What a powerful sword energy!”
Even Guan Youyun felt his pores shrink.
Other than from his master, he had never encountered such powerful sword energy on another person in his life.
According to his guess, the person’s attainments in the Sword Dao were higher than his and he was only a step away from the Realm of Dao.
And according to the rules of the Sword Dao,
After attaining the third level, the Realm of Heart, one would be a Swordsman. After attaining the fourth level, the Realm of Dao, one would be a Sword Immortal.
In other words, the person who came was a quasi Sword Immortal!
This was really too terrifying!
He looked up and saw a slender figure walk in.
He was wearing a black robe. His face was chiseled, and his gaze was incomparably sharp.
Wild sword energy lingered around its body, and it caused others to feel intimidated. “Senior Brother!”
Guan Youyun cried out in shock.
The man at the door was his senior brother, Yuan Xiao, who had left the Holy Land angrily eight hundred years ago.
Yuan Xiao’s sword gaze swept across the crowd coldly.
Everyone who met his gaze immediately lowered their heads and didn’t dare to look him in the eye. “It’s been 800 years since I last came. The disciples of this holy land are really getting worse with each generation!”
Yuan Xiao snorted. “Guan Youyun, you’re doing quite well as the Holy Lord!”
Guan Youyun knew that Yuan Xiao had come with ill intentions.
However, they were once fellow disciples.
He still treated him politely. “May I know why you’re here today?”
Before Yuan Xiao could reply, more than a thousand people swarmed in from outside the Grand Primordium Hall.
These people were all flashing with sword intent. One could tell at a glance that they were powerhouses in sword cultivation. Their cultivations were also near the Supremacy Realm. The lowest was at the Spirit Stage Middle Phase.
After everyone arrived, Yuan Xiao raised his hand and pointed at the people following him.
“These people are Swordsman Sect Masters, who are ranked in the top 1,000 of North Mystic Heaven.”
“Today, I want to fulfill our previous agreement with you in front of them!”
“Agreement?” Guan Youyun was shocked. “What agreement?”
“Hmph! Don’t play dumb!” Yuan Xiao berated angrily. “Did you forget that you and I had a conflict about the Sword Dao?”
When he said this, Guan Youyun was enlightened.
Eight hundred years ago, he and Yuan Xiao were the Holy Land’s most outstanding disciples.
However, their understanding of the Sword Dao were different.
Guan Youyun felt that although the Sword Dao was the Killing Dao, it should require the restrained sword energy to stabilize the Heart of the Sword.
On the other hand, Yuan Xiao felt that since it was a Killing Dao, he had to reveal his power and completely release his sword energy.
The two of them had a huge disagreement because of this, and the matter even reached the Sect Master’s ears.
Because the Sect Master supported Guan Youyun’s point of view, Yuan Xiao felt like he had suffered a huge blow and was disheartened.
But before he left, he swore in front of Guan Youyun and the Sect Master that he would definitely prove them wrong.
In a moment of anger, Guan Youyun made a promise with him. Sooner or later, the two of them would have a showdown to prove whose view was the true Sword Dao.
It had been more than eight hundred years since they last met.
Guan Youyun, who was dedicated to the Sword Dao, had forgotten about this.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiao didn’t forget about it.
He brought the Swordsman powerhouses of North Mystic Heaven to compete with him.
“Senior Brother, everyone’s understanding of the Sword Dao is different, but the endpoints we pursue are the same.”
Guan Youyun said politely, “We were once fellow disciples. Why did you have to make a scene over this?”
Yuan Xiao said disdainfully, “Cut the crap! Today, you and I must settle this!”
