Stunning free and easy sword emperor! Obtained the mysterious sword embryo!
"This Junior has a sword!"
"Senior, please guide me!"
"Clang!"
The next moment, Lin Dong suddenly opened his eyes, his entire Aura surging dramatically, sharp and incisive, like a peerless Divine Sword emerging.
His piercing gaze looked towards the sky.
Sword Draw!
A heaven-shaking Sword Cry resounded, the sword light like a True Dragon emerging, its incisive sword glow tearing through the Void Realm, illuminating the heavens.
The sky split in two!
Sword Intent raged in all directions!
Actually, Lin Dong had wanted to unleash this sword earlier.
But he thought that the sea of flowers might hold a special meaning for Sword Emperor Xiaoyao.
Lin Dong dared not strike and destroy it, forcibly restraining his sword momentum.
Yet, he also felt that this sword, condensed from myriad Sword Intents, was even stronger than the one he had just comprehended.
Coincidentally, Sword Emperor Xiaoyao had spoken, offering to guide him, which led to the sword before them.
Indeed, the Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique accumulates endless sword might! It emphasizes the moment of the sword draw!
Lin Dong could be considered self-taught!
Lin Dong looked at Sword Emperor Xiaoyao: "Senior, please enlighten me!"
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao remained silent.
After a long while, he finally uttered a single word: "Prodigy!"
Evidently, Lin Dong's talent far exceeded Sword Emperor Xiaoyao's imagination.
Lin Dong had merely observed him perform a sword art, and for someone his age, to Cultivate the Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique to such a degree in just two and a half days.
It could be said that he was unprecedented.
However, Sword Emperor Xiaoyao felt that Lin Dong was no ordinary person.
He shouldn't be viewed through the lens of an ordinary person, and he said: "Although your Sword Intent is strong, it has form but no true meaning!"
On the surface, it appears peerlessly sharp, but internally, it lacks the support of Law, making it unable to truly unleash the might of this sword.
To put it plainly, this sword lacks the power of Law.
Only by reaching the King Realm and comprehending Law can one initially unleash its true power.
Meaning...
Lin Dong muttered to himself, "Senior's sword contains Law, but mine does not..."
Seeing Sword Emperor Xiaoyao's solemn expression, Lin Dong felt he had let down Senior's expectations. "I need to comprehend Law..."
Lin Dong sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and recalling the sword Sword Emperor Xiaoyao had unleashed two days prior.
Upon seeing this, Sword Emperor Xiaoyao nodded slightly, but then sighed: "His Comprehension Ability is quite good, but his temperament is a bit too impatient."
How could the power of Law be so easily comprehended?
Ordinary Cultivators need to reach the Purple Palace Realm, condense their Purple Mansion, gather their Primordial Spirit, sublimate their entire being, and comprehend complete true meaning before they are qualified to touch the Law of Heaven and Earth.
And ordinary Purple Palace Realm Cultivators are just beginning to comprehend true meaning.
Even he, in his youth, known as the unparalleled Sword Dao Prodigy of the Nine Provinces, only comprehended the true Sword Dao Law after reaching the Purple Palace Realm.
Not to mention, Lin Dong before him was merely a small Cultivator in the Tiangang Realm.
For him to comprehend the true meaning of the Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique to this extent already marks him as a Sword Dao Prodigy, but comprehending Sword Dao Law is not yet possible for him.
"Forget it, encountering some setbacks is not a bad thing for him."
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao felt that Lin Dong had lived too smoothly, having never encountered any hardships, always striving for the best in everything.
For a Cultivator, pressing forward isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can easily lead to an early demise.
Minor setbacks are better for tempering the mind. Encountering small difficulties isn't a bad thing; overcoming them is all that matters.
This can prevent Lin Dong from being overly ambitious.
Otherwise, when the true Dao tribulation descends, he would be utterly unable to bear it.
Time flew, and in a blink, four days passed.
Lin Dong, who had been motionless like a statue, suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of peerless sharpness flashing within them.
He reined in his Aura and slowly stood up.
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao looked at Lin Dong: "Do you know what it means to retreat when faced with difficulty now?"
Lin Dong: "I ask Sword Emperor to guide me on this sword!"
As his words fell, his Aura changed, the long sword in his hand trembling, as if unable to bear Lin Dong's peerless sharp intent.
He drew his sword and swung!
Clang!
A long rainbow capable of piercing through heaven and earth shot skyward, peerlessly sharp and unstoppable!
What was surprising was that this sword contained a materialized Sword Dao Law, as if it aimed to cleave the sun, moon, and stars from beyond the heavens with a single strike.
"Hmm?"
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao's expression was very interesting. Good boy, he actually comprehended Sword Dao Law from his own sword.
Even though Sword Emperor Xiaoyao was reluctant to admit it, the facts told him.
Lin Dong's talent was even more prodigious than his own; he was a true Sword Dao Prodigy.
Lin Dong said: "Senior, what do you think of this sword of mine?"
Just because others couldn't, didn't mean Lin Dong couldn't.
Lin Dong was a man with the Sword Dao Comprehension Ability, capable of instantly comprehending any Sword Dao Divine Ability or Law.
It was just that as a Tiangang Realm Cultivator, comprehending Law required a longer time for him.
Hmm...
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao was about to say something.
But suddenly, his figure became three parts more ethereal.
Lin Dong's eyes narrowed: "Senior, you..."
He hadn't noticed Senior's condition earlier, and only now did he realize that after a few days, Senior's figure was almost transparently illusory.
Like a flickering candle in the wind, a single gust could scatter him.
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao smiled freely, waving his hand: "No need to worry, this is merely a wisp of this Emperor's remnant soul; its dissipation was long fated."
"Meeting you before I dissipate, this Emperor is very happy!"
"Your talent surpasses this Emperor's imagination; perhaps one day, you can reach this Emperor's achievements, or even surpass this Emperor!"
"As for the items in the main hall, take whatever you fancy."
"If you take the Legacy, the main hall will open in a day or two; even if you don't take it, others will."
"Before I depart, this Emperor will bestow upon you one more gift."
"This is this Emperor's lifelong Sword Dao comprehension; it will slowly unlock as your cultivation strengthens."
"If there's a chance, perhaps we will meet again..."
As Sword Emperor Xiaoyao's words fell.
His entire being transformed into a streak of light, entering Lin Dong's glabella.
Lin Dong could see that deep within his Sea of Consciousness, there was an additional Sword Dao seed, profound and powerful.
Before Lin Dong could think further, a great force enveloped his entire body, instantly leaving the sea of flowers, and the next moment, he appeared inside a grand hall.
The hall's space was vast, like a plaza.
There were also some rooms around, displaying various items.
This should have been the original main hall.
Lin Dong felt a bit regretful; he had wanted to ask Senior for some guidance, but Senior left too soon.
But overall, he gained a lot; he comprehended a peerless offensive Sword Dao Divine Ability—the Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique!
Lin Dong felt that the level of the Sky Severing Sword Draw Technique was no weaker than the True Dragon Precious Technique!
If Cultivated to its peak, it could truly cleave the heavens.
He also obtained the Sword Dao comprehension left by Sword Emperor Xiaoyao.
Lin Dong looked at the central throne and performed a Disciple's bow: "Junior Lin Dong respectfully bids farewell to Senior."
Sword Emperor Xiaoyao was worthy of this bow from Lin Dong.
Although he and Lin Dong had no formal master-Disciple relationship, he had bestowed upon Lin Dong the grace of Legacy and guidance, fulfilling the reality of a master-Disciple bond.
Lin Dong inspected the hall, looking for anything worth taking.
After walking around, Lin Dong discovered that the side rooms of the hall contained a Pill Refining Room, an Artifact Refining Room, and so on.
They contained various bottles and jars, some ancient weapons, etc.
Unfortunately, these items had been stored for too long without Qi nourishment, and their spiritual essence had gradually dissipated over millions of years.
They would turn to dust upon contact with wind.
This left Lin Dong feeling a bit regretful.
But it wasn't without any gain; next to the central throne, he discovered an ancient and mysterious sword embryo.
The sword embryo was about the size of an arm, with an antique texture, making it impossible to tell from what era it originated.
Lin Dong felt that this item was extraordinary, so he put it away.
