157: Section 157

Chu Mo was instantly captivated by this Legacy, his mind immersed within it, unable to extricate himself.

Celestial Sword Forefather was not in a hurry either.

Instead, he stood aside, patiently waiting, allowing him to digest it.

A long time passed.

Only then did Chu Mo finish digesting this memory, slowly opening his eyes.

The moment he revealed his eyes, a hint of astonishment still lingered within them, not yet dissipated.

“Stopping War Swordplay!”

This was the name of the swordplay that Celestial Sword Forefather had created after spending nearly ten thousand years.

This kind of swordplay.

It was not a murderous sword art!

More precisely, it was a method of nurturing the sword.

The sword is the king of all weapons, the weapon of a gentleman.

Normally worn at one’s side, it was like an upright gentleman, unyielding and righteous; when not drawn, it would conceal its sharpness and killing intent.

This was also the origin of the two characters, Stopping War!

However…

This did not mean that Stopping War Swordplay had no killing intent.

In fact, when not drawn, the sword appeared to have its sharpness restrained, but in reality, killing intent was brewing within it.

As the saying goes, with a sharp blade in one’s heart, a murderous intent naturally arises.

The true essence of Stopping War Swordplay lay in concealing this murderous intent and integrating it into the sword, so that when it was needed to be drawn to kill an enemy, all the murderous intent could completely erupt.

Once drawn, it would surely shake the heavens and earth!

“So that’s how it is!”

Chu Mo let out a long breath of turbid Qi, his eyes shining brightly.

It must be said.

This swordplay was truly astonishing and brilliant, having even reached the Realm of Dao; it was not in vain that Celestial Sword Forefather spent ten thousand years creating it.

It could truly be called unprecedented!

Coming back to his senses.

He looked at Celestial Sword Forefather, bowed, and saluted: “Many thanks, Old Ancestor, for imparting the Dao!”

“You are my successor; there’s no need to be so polite with me!”

Celestial Sword Forefather laughed heartily.

Then, he added: “Next, I will explain it to you. During this period, if you have anything you don’t understand, you can interrupt at any time and ask me!”

“Yes.”

Chu Mo nodded.

Then he directly sat down cross-legged.

This Stopping War Swordplay was incredibly profound.

Although he knew its principles, it would still take a long time to get started.

Now, with Celestial Sword Forefather explaining it to him, it could save him many detours.

Chu Mo assumed a posture of listening intently.

Seeing this.

Celestial Sword Forefather began to explain.

As he explained, his voice boomed, reverberating throughout every corner of this cave-heaven world.

Golden lotuses grew in the Void Realm, and immortal radiance cascaded down.

Countless divine lights of Dao principles appeared, intertwining, weaving, and spreading in all directions here.

Moreover, profound and ultimate Dao divine sounds resonated, forming a wonderful immortal melody that lingered in the ears.

Chu Mo immediately entered a state of comprehending the Dao, his inner Dao Embryo trembling, and Daorhyme permeating, assisting him in understanding and digesting.

Under such circumstances.

His understanding of Stopping War Swordplay was rapidly improving.

His entire being, which had been filled with sharp Sword Intent Qi due to his recent great improvement in sword Dao attainment, now gradually began to converge.

This was because as his understanding of Stopping War Swordplay deepened, all the murderous Qi had completely merged into the sword.

It appeared to become ordinary.

But in reality.

Once it erupted, its power would be even more formidable than before.

Cultivation knows no time.

Time flowed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

On this day.

Celestial Sword Forefather suddenly stopped explaining, and Chu Mo also awoke from his state of comprehending the Dao, but a hint of lingering satisfaction still showed on his face.

“This time, I have explained all the essences of Stopping War Swordplay to you!”

“Next, you will have to comprehend it on your own!”

“If there are any places you still don’t understand in the future, you can always come to the Forbidden Ground in the back mountain to ask me… Here, take this token. As long as you activate it in the Forbidden Ground, I will sense it!”

Saying that.

Celestial Sword Forefather handed over a token and placed it in Chu Mo’s hand.

“Yes.”

Chu Mo respectfully accepted it.

“I have been out for too long this time. If I continue to stay, I fear it will damage my Foundation, and it won’t be long before my Lifespan is completely exhausted!”

“I have just taken you as my successor and still wish to personally witness you suppressing all directions; I do not wish to pass away just like this!”

Celestial Sword Forefather finished speaking, then burst into hearty laughter himself.

“Is Old Ancestor so confident in me?”

Chu Mo also smiled faintly, saying so.

“Of course!”

“You are my successor, and with your Comprehension Ability, it won’t be long before you sweep across the current era and forge an invincible posture!”

Celestial Sword Forefather said without hesitation.

Although the time they spent together these past few days was not long.

But during his explanation of the Dao, he had always been observing Chu Mo and could clearly perceive that this successor had extremely profound attainment in the sword Dao, and his Comprehension Ability was quite top-tier—when cultivating the sword Dao, the most important thing was Comprehension Ability.

And a Comprehension Ability like Chu Mo’s was something almost every powerful sword Dao cultivator yearned to encounter.

Now, after ten thousand years, he was able to impart his sword Dao Legacy to Chu Mo, which also made him extremely satisfied.

And just as he said.

With Chu Mo’s Comprehension Ability and Heart-Nature, coupled with his Stopping War Swordplay Legacy, the Foundation for Chu Mo’s invincible path had already been laid.

Under these circumstances.

It was simply impossible for Chu Mo to encounter setbacks midway!

Upon hearing these words.

Chu Mo also showed a smile.

Celestial Sword Forefather had great confidence in him, and he himself also had considerable confidence in himself.

This time in secluded cultivation.

First, the Dragon-Elephant Undying Scripture progressed quite well, and his Fist Intent also reached three-tenths of comprehension!

The Taichu Slashing Dao Scripture had even advanced to the sword-drawing stage!

And now, he had also obtained the Legacy of Celestial Sword Forefather and cultivated Stopping War Swordplay.

It could be said.

An invincible posture had already been forged!

Next.

He just waited for his sword, hidden in its sheath, to fully reveal its sharpness!

“The sword art is complete, you may take it; where there are flood dragons, slay the flood dragons!”
