On the following day.
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Ye Ping sat in the middle of the rear cliff and listened to Da Xu’s passionate recount about the mystic realm this time.
“Exalted Immortal, you really don’t know how fierce those experts were at the time.”
“To be honest, I, Da Xu, have never admired anyone in my life but your Eldest Senior Brother is really an elite.”
“Faced with the crisis, I almost peed myself but your Eldest Senior Brother remained cool and sane.”
“And your master, Daoist Tai Hua, seems to have encountered issues with divination, but in fact, all his divination was opposite and he relied on that to search for the true answer. He’s truly an expert.”
Da Xu’s saliva spattered everywhere as he told Ye Ping about the Seven Ancient Kings mystic realm.
There were several levels in the Seven Ancient Kings mystic realm and each level made Da Xu extremely shocked. At the same time, he also exaggerated some things in order to make Ye Ping strive for better.
At this moment, Ye Ping felt a little regretful. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn’t have joined the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
If he did not participate…
He might have gotten a chance to enter the mystic realm.
Ye Ping felt a huge heartache. Seated on the front cliff, he somehow felt a little depressed.
However, at this moment, the temperatures seemed to have dropped.
Ye Ping and Da Xu immediately sensed the aura.
Both of them looked over.
A figure appeared in front of them.
Not far away, Su Changyu stepped on a snow-white immortal sword which was emitting a faint white light with frost around it. It matched Su Changyu’s snowy white robe.
‘Sword immortal!’
‘Peerless Sword Immortal!’
‘This is no longer perfectly in line with what people think about Sword Immortals. This is a Sword Immortal.’
Su Changyu stepped on the sword and frost appeared in the sky, making him stunned.
Ye Ping froze in shock and so did Da Xu.
“There are three million Sword Immortals in this world.”
“But all of them have to bow down to me.”
Su Changyu spoke in a calm voice which seemed a little ethereal.
His gaze was very calm and coupled with what he just said, even a supreme Sword Immortal would feel ashamed to see him.
Indeed, Gu Jianxian was watching Su Changyu quietly a short distance away. During his stay in the Qingyun Dao Sect, there had been gradual changes in his mental state as he was no longer as detached as he used to be.
Hence, after seeing Su Changyu, Gu Jianxian somehow felt that others would probably believe it if he admitted that he was an ancient Sword Immortal.
“Greetings, Senior Brother.”
At this moment, Ye Ping came back to his senses and bowed at Su Changyu.
Besides, Da Xu had also snapped back to his senses, but he didn’t have to bow or salute. After all, he was now a guest elder of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
According to the seniority, he was also slighter more senior than Su Changyu.
“Elder Da Xu, I have something to see Ye Ping for.”
Su Changyu said while standing on the frosty white Sword Dao.
He wanted to see Ye Ping for some matters, but the problem was that Da Xu was at the side so it was somewhat inappropriate.
After all, what he taught Ye Ping sounded strange to outsiders.
“Okay, I’ll get going first then.”
Da Xu nodded and left the place consciously.
After Da Xu left, Su Changyu’s voice sounded.
“Ye Ping, have you comprehended the sword intent of the Jin Nation Academy?”
Su Changyu asked calmly.
“Senior Brother, I have poor aptitude and I haven’t comprehended the sword intent yet.”
Ye Ping answered seriously.
Hearing this answer, Su Changyu couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
He was afraid that Ye Ping would say that he had comprehended it.
“Just as I expected.”
Su Changyu said as if he had already guessed it long ago.
He then continued to speak.
“Ye Ping, I’ve already told you before we went up the mountain that I want to formulate a new training plan for you.”
“However…”
At this point, Su Changyu fell silent.
That made Ye Ping curious.
“Eldest Senior Brother, but what?”
Ye Ping asked curiously.
“However, I won’t be kind to you this time, I’m going to teach you the real Sword Dao.”
“But you have to suffer pain and hardship before you can gain.”
Su Changyu said with a smile.
He asked Ye Ping if he could suffer hardship.
Hearing this, Ye Ping almost said without hesitation.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I can take the hardship.”
To be honest, Ye Ping thought that Su Changyu was going to say something, but he didn’t expect it to be just that.
‘Just suffer hardship?’
Ye Ping could take all hardships except losing out.
Besides, one would have to go through hardships to become an elite.
Ye Ping was bent on taking it.
There would be no point even if the Buddha came.
“Alright.”
After receiving Ye Ping’s answer, Su Changyu nodded in satisfaction and continued immediately afterwards.
“In that case, I will be relieved to impart to you, the true Sword Dao.”
Su Changyu nodded with great satisfaction before continuing.
As soon as he said that, Ye Ping got excited.
‘Here it comes, here it comes, that indescribable feeling is back.’
Ye Ping took a deep breath. He was extremely excited.
‘True Sword Dao!’
He was filled with anticipation.
At this moment, Su Changyu couldn’t help but nod.
In fact, in the past six months, he had indeed gained a different understanding of the Sword Dao.
Su Changyu felt as if he hadn’t done anything in the past few days.
However, in reality, he had been fighting the sword battle.
Why did Su Changyu insist on going by foot instead of using a Teleportation Array?
‘Is it really meant for showing off clothes?’
‘Is it really for the sake of saving money?’
Ever since he got the Sword Nurturing Technique, Su Changyu had been defeating lots of heroes every day and night.
He wasn’t trying to show off at all. Su Changyu had already defeated tens of thousands of sword cultivators.
There were some who were strong and some who were weak too.
Hence, Su Changyu felt that he couldn’t make it anymore.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to give Ye Ping any pointers.
“Please guide me, Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping’s voice sounded and he then looked at Su Changyu while looking forward to his pointers.
Su Changyu nodded and then walked down the flying sword before turning to look at Ye Ping.
“Junior Brother, do you still remember the question I asked you back then?”
Su Changyu tried to nurture his emotions.
“Yes, I remember. Eldest Senior Brother, you asked me that day what the Sword Dao is.”
Ye Ping said without thinking.
“Yes, now I’ll ask you once more. What is the Sword Dao?”
Su Changyu asked calmly.
It was not that he wanted to change what he said, but rather, he had a new enlightenment.
Hearing this, Ye Ping could not help but fall into silence.
‘What is the Sword Dao?’
It was the second time Su Changyu asked him that question.
Clearly, the answer was that it was not the first time.
Ye Ping took a deep breath.
He was thinking about it.
‘What is the Sword Dao?’
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Ye Ping sat on the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect and pondered quietly.
‘What is the Sword Dao?’
He had an understanding of the Sword Dao but it was not very deep. He had no choice but to understand it with his own thoughts.
He spent an entire hour on it.
Ye Ping still could not come up with an answer.
On the rear cliff.
Su Changyu somewhat regretted walking down from the Frost White flying sword.
He had been standing for an entire hour and his legs had turned numb. Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have asked so many questions.
‘Why does Ye Ping take so long to think every time?’
‘Can’t he hurry up?’
‘It’s all wrong anyway, so why not say it quickly?’
He felt terrible.
“Eldest Senior Brother, forgive me for being silly, I can’t think of it.”
Ye Ping really could not understand what the second level of the Sword Dao meant.
After hearing what Ye Ping said, Su Changyu spoke up immediately.
“Ye Ping, remember what I have to say next.”
He then paused for a while.
“The supreme Sword Dao is divided into three realms.”
Su Changyu began to make up things.
To be more precise, it was not made up, but rather, Su Changyu’s understanding of it.
After Ye Ping heard his words again, he could not help but be excited.
‘Supreme Sword Dao.’
‘What concept is that?’
‘This is Eldest Senior Brother’s masterpiece, isn’t it?’
Ye Ping paid attention and waited attentively for Su Changyu to speak up.
“Ye Ping, the first level of the supreme Sword Dao is breaking ten thousand sword techniques with ten thousand swords.”
Su Changyu said coldly. Although his voice was calm, it was like a loud bell that made everyone wake up.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what is that?”
Ye Ping could not help but ask about it.
“It’s just a description. It means cultivating ten thousand sword techniques to counterattack another ten thousand sword techniques.”
“After a first sword cultivator comprehends the sword intent, he would step onto the first realm of the supreme Sword Dao.”
“Little Junior Brother, you haven’t comprehended the sword intent yet.”
“Little Junior Brother, my first request is for you to condense the sword intent.”
Su Changyu revealed the first level of the supreme Sword Dao.
At the same time, he informed Ye Ping that he needed Ye Ping to comprehend the sword intent.
Speaking of sword intent, Ye Ping could not help but sigh.
He hadn’t comprehended any sword techniques at all in the Jin Nation Academy.
To be honest, if he wasn’t in a hurry to return to the clan, Ye Ping actually wanted to go to the Jin Nation Academy first.
Ye Ping was very enthusiastic about the supreme sword intent of the Jin Nation Academy.
“Eldest Senior Brother, the supreme sword intent of the Jin Nation Academy is too difficult to comprehend. Do you want me to go to the Jin Nation Academy?”
Ye Ping asked.
However, Su Changyu shook his head and sighed before looking at Ye Ping.
“Ye Ping, you still haven’t understood yet.”
Su Changyu made Ye Ping even more dumbfounded.
He frowned and thought about those words.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a mystery within his words.
However, he couldn’t figure it out for a while, and hence, he couldn’t help it.
“Eldest Senior Brother, can you clarify?”
Ye Ping couldn’t help but ask.
Su Changyu froze a little when he heard that.
‘This script doesn’t seem right.’
‘Don’t you usually imagine yourself?’
‘How do you want me to clarify things this time?’
‘Ye Ping, what’s wrong with you? Did your personality change?’
Su Changyu was indeed a bit confused as he didn’t know anything.
‘What did you say? I just said it casually, how do you want me to say it?’
Su Changyu stayed silent as he didn’t know how to answer.
However, when dealing with others, Su Changyu could not avoid that.
But he knew how to deal with Ye Ping.
“Ye Ping, you need to comprehend this yourself.”
“Go and comprehend releasing a sword.”
“Go and comprehend holding a sword.”
“You can’t rest or eat.”
“Come to me again once you’ve comprehended it.”
Su Changyu said.
He thought that he would inform Ye Ping about it after having thought of the answer.
“Good.”
Perfect.
Su Changyu was filled with joy.
“Okay, I have understood.”
Ye Ping nodded.
Although he could not understand, he would agree to it first.
In short, he felt that everything Su Changyu said was definitely right.
“Alright.”
Su Changyu didn’t say much and left straight on his flying sword.
However, he was somewhat curious.
He didn’t think that Ye Ping could comprehend anything.
After thinking about it, Su Changyu shook his head.
‘Just with this?’
‘What can he comprehend out of this?’
He really did not believe that Ye Ping could comprehend anything out of it.
Just like that…
On the cliff, Ye Ping began to comprehend releasing and taking the sword.
