381: Whatever you want to learn, you can teach

“Domain…”

Xie Weilou was not entirely unfamiliar with such things; after all, he had read so many novels that his mind still held some images.

Li Zheng looked at Xie Weilou: “There’s no need for you to consider the matter of the Blade Domain for now. At present, you’ve already comprehended ninety percent of the All Living Beings Blade. As for the last ten percent, I can give you some advice.”

Xie Weilou bowed to Li Zheng: “May I ask, Teacher, is there some secret?”

Li Zheng smiled and spoke two words: “Slaughter!”

“Slaughter?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of understanding dawned on Xie Weilou.

Li Zheng explained: “The All Living Beings Blade is a blade of slaughter. Simply comprehending its might makes it difficult to achieve true mastery. Only through actual combat, by cultivating blade intent and condensing your own invincible blade momentum through the bloodlust in battle, can this blade truly be considered complete. Slaughter is the best method.”

The All Living Beings Blade was inherently a blade of killing. Only through continuous fighting and battle, baptized by blood, could the final ten percent be cultivated.

“Thank you for your guidance, Teacher.”

Xie Weilou bowed to Li Zheng again.

Li Zheng was silent for a second, then said: “The All Living Beings Blade is a blade of slaughter. If this blade is successfully cultivated, it will inevitably lead to malevolent energy entanglement, and may even affect one’s mind, which is detrimental to subsequent breakthroughs. I have been stuck at Dragon Transformation Realm Peak for many years precisely because of too much killing and the erosion of resentment, making it difficult to enter the Divine Court…”

The All Living Beings Blade was his most powerful technique. With this blade, he had slaughtered countless enemies.

Later, his killing karma became too heavy, and resentment entangled him, affecting his Dao Heart and making breakthroughs difficult. So, he gradually stopped using the All Living Beings Blade and instead used it as a core to re-create the Ninth Heaven Blade.

The Blade of Deliverance was the prototype of the All Living Beings Blade and also his comprehension. While the All Living Beings Blade was for slaughter, Deliverance was about delivering resentment and malevolent energy.

“What does Senior mean?”

Xie Weilou looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng pondered: “If you have the chance, you can go to Tianyin Temple and learn some Buddhist methods. I have comprehended the All Living Beings Blade for many years and found that Buddhist methods seem to be able to cleanse the malevolent energy and resentment of this blade, which is why I created the Blade of Deliverance!”

“The Great Dao has myriad paths, with no high or low, noble or humble. Perhaps you can combine Buddhist methods to comprehend this blade, which might allow your blade Dao path to reach a higher level.”

He informed Xie Weilou of this matter because he was worried that Xie Weilou would follow his old path.

If such a prodigy were to be stuck at the Dragon Transformation Realm because of cultivating his blade, then his sin would be great.

Xie Weilou nodded gently: “Understood! I’ll find a time to go to Tianyin Temple.”

Li Zheng smiled: “This is just a suggestion. Everyone’s path is different. This blade affected me, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it will affect you! This strongest blade has already been passed on to you. From now on, it’s up to your own efforts. Next, you can go find the other teachers; they will also teach you many things. If you have any questions regarding the blade Dao in the future, feel free to come to me anytime.”

Throughout the entire Saint Academy, he was the only one who knew the All Living Beings Blade.

Now that Xie Weilou had comprehended this blade, this blade art finally had a successor, and he had no regrets.

He was quite curious to see how far this kid, Xie Weilou, could go in the future.

Xie Weilou cupped his fists slightly: “Junior bids farewell!”

“Mm!”

Li Zheng waved his hand lightly.

“……”

Xie Weilou said no more and flew away directly.

Not long after.

Xie Weilou left Chongyue Peak. He walked along a grand road, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Who should he seek out next among the teachers?

As the saying goes, one can never have too many skills. As long as one's talent and comprehension are sufficient, one should naturally learn and practice more, mastering various abilities to face all kinds of special situations.

After a brief thought.

Xie Weilou made up his mind and decided to seek out the Fourth Mr.. He was quite curious about this Fourth Mr..

He wondered if he could learn array formations from him.

“Xie Weilou.”

A surprised voice sounded, and a woman in a light gray long dress walked over.

“Greetings, Princess Quanzhen.”

Xie Weilou looked at the woman in front of him and cupped his fists slightly. It was indeed the Second Princess, Yan Quanzhen.

Yan Quanzhen looked at Xie Weilou: “Seeing you deep in thought, is something on your mind?”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: “I was wondering where the Fourth Mr.’s residence is.”

He glanced at Yan Quanzhen’s beautiful legs again; he looked at girls every day, just for his own physical and mental health.

Yan Quanzhen furrowed her brows slightly, then pointed towards the east: “The Fourth Mr. is on Chunqiu Peak. He is quite peculiar and dislikes being disturbed by outsiders, so he lives alone on a peak.”

Xie Weilou cupped his fists: “Thank you for the reminder, Second Princess.”

After speaking, he walked towards the eastern direction.

“……”

Yan Quanzhen gazed at Xie Weilou’s retreating figure, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. How many trump cards did this guy, who played the pig to eat the tiger, still have hidden?

— — — — — —

An incense stick later.

Xie Weilou traversed several large mountains and arrived at the foot of one, where a stone tablet stood inscribed with three characters: Chunqiu Peak!

There was no mountain path on this mountain; one could only fly directly up.

“……”

Xie Weilou did not hesitate. His figure flickered, and he flew towards the mountain.

A moment later.

Xie Weilou arrived at a spot on the mountain, where there was a wooden house and a Heart-Listening Lake.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth with a head full of white hair was fishing. His eyes were extremely deep, carrying an aura of vicissitude. He silently watched the lake surface, unmoving.

“……”

Xie Weilou watched the fishing youth. He did not disturb him, merely observing quietly.

He found it impossible to see through the youth before him. Although the other person looked very young, he felt that the person in front of him had lived for at least a thousand years, an ancient relic.

Plop!

A few breaths later, the youth instantly pulled on his fishing rod, but came up empty. He showed no change in expression, calmly re-baited his hook, and cast it back into the lake.

This person in front of him should be the Fourth Mr., Spring Autumn Cicada.

“You are Xie Weilou?”

Spring Autumn Cicada slowly spoke.

Xie Weilou bowed to the youth: “Xie Weilou greets the Fourth Mr..”

Spring Autumn Cicada smiled faintly: “Your third uncle is a wonderful person.”

Xie Weilou was a bit surprised: “Does the Fourth Mr. also know my third uncle?”

Spring Autumn Cicada nodded gently but did not continue to discuss Xie Bian. He asked: “Since you have come here, have you decided what you wish to learn from me?”

Xie Weilou looked at Spring Autumn Cicada: “May I ask, Fourth Mr., what can you teach me?”

Spring Autumn Cicada smiled: “Whatever you wish to learn, I can teach you.”

Xie Weilou said directly: “Can you teach alchemy, artifact forging, array formations, Restriction, and talismans, Teacher?”

“Why not?”

Spring Autumn Cicada waved his sleeve, and five scrolls flew towards Xie Weilou.

He said calmly: “Keep these five scrolls for now. Everything you want is within them, and you can slowly comprehend them. However, you came here probably because there’s something you urgently need to learn, right? I can teach you one thing first.”
