68: Chapter 27 Sword Demonstration

Conquest Hall?

Chen Xuan was stunned; he had not heard of it.

Regarding the Liuyang Sword Sect, his understanding was limited to the intelligence from the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.

Generally, there were four peaks, each presided over by a Golden Core Master.

Most of the core buildings were constructed on Qingming Peak.

The Dharma Transmission Hall was on Asking Sword Peak, and the Legacy Hall was established on Azure Dragon Peak.

The Conquest Hall was responsible for external conquests, slaying demons and eliminating devils; it could be said to be the most dangerous hall.

"Senior Brother Liu, why do you recommend the Conquest Hall?" Chen Xuan asked.

Given Liu He's shrewdness, he wouldn't recommend such a position without a reason.

Liu He laughed heartily: "Junior Brother, you do not know. Although the Conquest Hall focuses on killing and conquest, the world is peaceful now. Is it not just a matter of guarding and cultivating, waiting for the opportunity to conquer?"

"And the mandatory annual tasks can naturally be completed by demonstrating techniques at the Dharma Transmission Hall on Asking Sword Peak. It is killing many birds with one stone."

Chen Xuan thought to himself, 'As expected of an old fox of the Sect. If a newly arrived Outer Sect Disciple were here, they would certainly not know these rules.'

Just as wealth only flows through Bloodlines, this knowledge only flows through social classes.

Having traveled the Mortal World for years and lifetimes, how could Chen Xuan not know?

"Then..." Chen Xuan cupped his hands.

Liu He understood. After giving Chen Xuan a look of confirmation, he entered the Hall of General Affairs again.

Sure enough, after coming out, Chen Xuan's identity token was registered with a task from the "Conquest Hall."

From now on, Chen Xuan would hold a post in the Conquest Hall.

He only needed to complete five Sect tasks within a year.

Liu He had, of course, already arranged it for Chen Xuan: five sessions of lecturing on Sword Dao to demonstrate techniques for Outer Sect Disciples.

This would both Cultivate a reputation and allow him to enter the core layer of the Sect.

Chen Xuan nodded; this was also the result he desired.

By the time Chen Xuan and Liu He exchanged communication jade talismans and parted ways, the sun had already set.

After entering his Immortal Cave, Chen Xuan sighed, 'Finally, I have arrived at the Liuyang Sword Sect.'

"The goals for this lifetime: first, to avenge my parents. Once I reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, I can easily slaughter those Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Wang Clan."

"Second, the path of the Dao—Foundation Establishment, or even Golden Core. For this lifetime's Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, I am still missing a strand of fire spirit qi. I will travel around the Southern Region; if I cannot obtain it, I will have no choice but to venture deep into the boundless volcanic marshes of the south."

"As for the third, it is naturally to head to the Central State. The grudges of years and lifetimes should be resolved together. And the elegance of the Nascent Soul Immortal Masters of the Central State—if I do not see it, would it not be a pity?"

Chen Xuan smiled, sensing his Qi Refining level at the fifth level Perfection. The Canglan Art was definitely a Cultivation Technique suitable for him; there was no need to change it.

As for the Foundation Establishment technique, he had already chosen it; once he achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he would be able to Cultivate it.

Inside the Immortal Cave, he practiced "Laughing at the Vast Sea." Although this method was called a spell, in reality, it was more like a simplified Divine Ability.

Just like the "Stealing Heaven Great Hand Seal" he had obtained.

Because he lacked the support of an Innate Sword Bone, Chen Xuan's use of the Stealing Heaven Great Hand Seal was merely able to condense a large hand of spiritual power to suppress an area.

It was used to deal with Cultivators of the same rank; if they were prepared, it would be difficult.

Cultivation knows no time. Half a year later, Chen Xuan stood in the Dharma Transmission Hall of Asking Sword Peak.

His body was like a rainbow light, his sword rising like a startled swan.

As he slowly sheathed his sword, the piercing sharpness unexpectedly gathered slowly, as if with great skill that appeared clumsy.

"Such strong control! When will I be able to reach Sword Light Differentiation?"

"You don't understand. At this Realm, the changes are flawless, which proves he is almost entering the Realm of Sword Qi Condensing into Silk. This is a Realm that even Golden Core Old Ancestors might not necessarily reach."

Immediately, a Disciple asked: "When did this Master Yun arrive? He explains things so incisively and simply. His Sword Dao attainments likely already exceed many Foundation Establishment Elders. Why have I not seen him in these past few years?"

"Of course. I heard Master Yun only joined the Sect half a year ago, and he has a close relationship with Elder Liu."

"Elder Liu? Elder Liu?"

Someone asked immediately.

The Central Province Liu Clan, the Sect Master's lineage, possessors of the Nascent Soul Legacy.

They could be said to be the greatest in the entire Southern Region.

"If I could take this Master Yun as my master, I would certainly be able to enter the Sword Light Differentiation Realm in the future."

"Even achieving Foundation Establishment is not impossible."

"With Master Yun's attainments, the Old Ancestors in the Sect must have been paying attention for a long time. Perhaps I could even become a grand-Disciple of a Golden Core Master," someone began to fantasize.

However, regardless of what these Cultivators said, anyone who actually wanted to take action had to weigh their wallets.

After all, in the Liuyang Sword Sect, cultivation level was actually less important than Sword Dao attainments.

If one wanted to take a master, one naturally had to prepare tuition fees.

Just speaking of Chen Xuan's future, it was worth a master-seeking gift comparable to Foundation Establishment.

After Chen Xuan sheathed his sword and waited for the crowd's discussion to subside, he said: "Fellow Disciples, do you have any other questions?"

Zhang Hu immediately raised his hand: "Master Yun, I have felt like I touched the threshold of Sword Light Differentiation several times, so why can I not achieve it?"

Chen Xuan had achieved Sword Light Differentiation in his second lifetime, so he naturally understood the key points.

He pointed it out immediately: "For Sword Light Differentiation, first, your basic skills must be solid; basic sword move variations must be as proficient as instinct. Second, you need to understand the essence of the evolution of sword light."

"Come, step forward, hold the dharma sword, and feel it with me."

Chen Xuan unleashed the Liangyi Rule. Zhang Hu held the dharma sword, followed by Sword Light Differentiation. For the first time, Zhang Hu perceived the changes within it so clearly.

As the saying goes, a true transmission is just one sentence, while a false transmission is ten thousand volumes of books.

Zhang Hu was suddenly enlightened; he actually condensed a faint wisp of sword light at the tip of his sword, and then it split into two!

Sword Light Differentiation!

The crowd was shocked!

A Disciple, under Chen Xuan's guidance, had actually briefly displayed Sword Light Differentiation.

With such an experience, he would definitely be able to enter the Sword Light Differentiation Realm in the future.

This act made everyone feel admiration in their hearts.

It was truly too strong.

"Does anyone know the background of this Master Yun?"

Many people already had the intention to take him as a master.

"The new manager of the Conquest Hall."

"Eh? It is actually the Conquest Hall. Could he be from the Liu Clan?"

The scene began to break out into discussions in twos and threes.

Seeing the scene heating up, Chen Xuan quickly cooled it down: "Today's demonstration ends here. We will meet again at the next lecture."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he transformed into an escape light and flew toward Qingming.

His aura was already at the sixth level of Qi Refining!

An eleven-year-old at the sixth level of Qi Refining!

Who would dare to imagine it?

Even with a High Grade Spiritual Root, it is extremely difficult to reach this Realm at the age of eleven through hard cultivation.

Let alone the combination of the Canglan Art and a Low Grade Spiritual Root.

Over these years, Chen Xuan had successively gained insights into the Dao, and he was almost only a thin layer away from Sword Qi Condensing into Silk.

That was the gap in Divine Sense; if the Divine Sense strength is sufficient, then it is naturally enough.

And the key is Foundation Establishment!

If he reached the stage of Sword Qi Condensing into Silk, he would be able to master it directly in the next lifetime.

Chen Xuan suspected that the extremely high killing power of a Sword Cultivator had a direct relationship with Sword Dao attainments, and Sword Dao attainments were very closely related to the training of Divine Sense strength.

Perhaps, once Sword Dao attainments enter a high stage, it is the path of Divine Sense cultivation.

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Xuan felt this way.

He even went to the main hall of Qingming Peak to ask the old man from the Scripture Pavilion.

The reply he received was not a riddle for him to guess, but that it was indeed the case.

However, to be able to reach that level of Sword Dao, the Divine Sense must have already been tempered to be tough.

The stronger the Sword Dao, the stronger the Divine Sense; the stronger the Divine Sense, the stronger the Sword Dao.

It could be called stepping on one's own feet to ascend to the sky.

Chen Xuan returned to the Immortal Cave, which was exceptionally quiet and secluded.

However, a figure made him stop in his tracks.

No, why did this young lady come again?

The fairy-like sister, Liu Lili.

Nowadays, her appearance was becoming more and more like Liu Yifei; her eyebrows and expression were such that the average person would find her pitiable and lovely.

But it was bitter for Chen Xuan. After returning, Liu Lili came to thank him many times. Chen Xuan did not understand why, thinking it was just because she knew how to repay kindness.

Later, he discovered that Liu Lili seemed to have fallen in love with him a little.

Chen Xuan could not help but sigh; he was just a male Cultivator with no background and ordinary looks, yet he could be fancied by such a fairy-like figure.

Should he say it was bad luck, or was he lucky for three lifetimes?

Chen Xuan did not intend to get married so early in this life and break his primordial yin body.

He was currently cultivating a secret technique that could increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks and the speed of cultivation as long as his primordial yin remained; it was effective before Foundation Establishment.

Seeing his figure, Liu Lili immediately smiled like a flower: "Yun Qi!"

"I know about Zhang Fan's matter; it has nothing to do with him. I don't like him at all."

A Sword Cultivator's feelings are straightforward, just like their Dao.

The long road is winding; only the sword is a companion. Alone, wielding a sword to the ends of the world.

"Liu Lili, please respect yourself." Chen Xuan avoided her with a blank face and was about to enter the Immortal Cave.

"No, you must give me an explanation today. Why won't you go out on missions with me? Low strength is just an excuse. Back then, you were a being who could confront the Foundation Establishment Maitreya at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Now that the Wang Clan has disappeared, it is partly your credit."

"I want to Cultivate hard; I don't have time." Chen Xuan said helplessly.

"Accompany me to the Southern Marshes; there is a clue about fire spirit qi. Haven't you been inquiring about it?"

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "You investigated me?"

"I did not! Last time, you and Liu He were at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, and I was there too!" Liu Lili denied.

Chen Xuan looked at her gloomily for a moment.

"Only this once; do not let it happen again."
