Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Chapter 595

Early the next morning.

Somewhere on the mountain peak of Mt. Lightning Roar, Qin Yun watched his granddaughter and said with a smile, "Yuluo, haven"t you reached the half-step Golden Immortal realm? Show me the most powerful sword art you know at present."

His son Meng Huan and daughter Qin Yiyi had talent in sword arts. Now, they were at the sixth firmament Skyimmortal realm. That was already considered quite an impressive feat. The more mediocre disciples of Green Touring Palace were at this level as well, and they were able to reign supreme in the Small Worlds they occupied. However, they would appear ordinary when placed against the backdrop of the entire Three Realms. Qin Yun was helpless regarding this.

If he had the time, he could naturally slowly groom Huan"er and Yiyi.

But now, it was better to spend his time on grooming Yuluo.

"Yes, Grandfather." Qin Yuluo was dressed in a warm-white robe. She waved her hand and with a whoosh, seven flying swords flew out from her sleeve. The seven flying swords were extremely sharp and seemed to possess an intelligence of their own. They naturally formed a sword array in midair as she began demonstrating her various moves.

The sword array demonstrated its killing abilities, its ability to confuse the enemy, and acted as a means to defend herself.

Sword Qi surged everywhere as the moves showed a mystical nature. The various moves won Qin Yun"s gentle nod.

It was no wonder even Perfected Jade Tripod had thoughts of taking her as a disciple. His granddaughter was indeed very talented in the Sword Dao.

"Sword immortals nurture an Intrinsic Flying Sword and what they figure out is more about the means to deal with enemies using a flying sword," thought Qin Yun. "Although it is extremely powerful, their sword array arts would typically be weaker. Yuluo is not a sword immortal, but she is bent on controlling multiple flying swords. However, having multiple flying swords holds an intrinsic advantage when it comes to setting up an array."

The sword immortal lineage which Qin Yun created himself was not sufficiently complete; therefore, he did not make Qin Yuluo learn it.

"My Misty Rain Sword is relatively special. Only after it became a Connate Pinnacle Numinous treasure could it split into three. However, that only allows for an array to be set up by three flying swords. As for Yuluo, she has seven flying swords to form an array. It"s even possible for her to use more flying swords," thought Qin Yun. "If she were to use seven flying swords to cast my Sword Dao, I wonder what will happen."

This was how teaching disciples should be.

A good teacher would teach their students in accordance with their apt.i.tude!

Qin Yuluo was good at using seven flying swords simultaneously, so this made Qin Yun consider solutions to allow his granddaughter to go further on her current path.

"Grandfather, how was it?" Qin Yuluo beckoned with her hand and retracted the seven flying swords as she looked at Qin Yun with excitement. She was truly quite infatuated with sword arts or she would not have her present day achievements. She idolized her grandfather the most.


"Not bad."

As Qin Yun watched from the side, he had seen many areas in which the set of sword array arts could be improved. "I"ll demonstrate your sword array art a few times as well. Watch carefully."

With that said, Qin Yun waved his hand.

Blurry Sword Qi materialized into seven flying swords.

"Go."

Qin Yun cast his granddaughter"s sword art in the same manner. By the side, Qin Yuluo watched intently, occasionally revealing a look of puzzlement, excitement, or clenching of teeth… Clearly, she was completely enthralled.

Qin Yun repeated the demonstration nine times.

There were variations each time.

During the ninth time… the sword array"s might had already reached a level that matched that of a mighty figure.

After dispersing the Sword Qi, Qin Yun discovered that his granddaughter was completely immersed in thought. This continued for half a day.

"Grandfather." Qin Yuluo finally snapped back to reality as she felt that there her mind had been exposed to many new insights. She was filled with grat.i.tude.

"How much did you absorb?" inquired Qin Yun.

Qin Yuluo said in excitement, "Grandfather, you demonstrated nine times. You changed three aspects of my sword array art the first time. The changes continued the second time… There were changes every time and their might kept increasing. By the ninth time, the sword array art had already matched that of a mighty figure."

Due to the tiny changes in each of the nine demonstrations, Qin Yuluo was able to clearly recognize her flaws.

"Grandfather, you are too awesome. Way too awesome!" Qin Yuluo was thrilled.

"It"s good to understand, but to fully comprehend it is another matter," said Qin Yun with a smile. "Putting theory to practice is always difficult, so don"t get too excited."

With Qin Yun"s high Sword Dao realm, he was operating from a commanding height, so he could easily remould Qin Yuluo"s sword art completely.

"Yes." Qin Yuluo nodded in excitement.

In the Great Freedom Fiend world.

Dressed in tattered robes, an unkempt man with disheveled hair sat casually on a rock above a desolate mountain peak. He suddenly looked up and saw a white-dressed woman. It was as though she was the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms. Her fair toes were bare as she stood in midair, watching the man smilingly.

"Black Lotus, don"t use your female form for no apparent reason. You won"t be able to entice me. It will only make me feel disgust," said the man with a frown.

"Boxun," said the white-dressed woman with a smile. "I need your help on a matter."

"You are requesting my help?"

Boxun knitted his brows.

He was once the strongest fiend and was formerly Buddhist Ancestor Gautama"s archenemy—Fiend King Boxun. However, Boxun kept an extremely low profile these days.

"What is it that requires you, the Fiend Ancestor, to lower yourself to seek my help?" asked Boxun with a scoff.

"I have made a deal with Zhurong," said the white-dressed woman. "As long as I hand him a Torch Flame Kindling, he will pa.s.s me the lotus seed."

"The price of the Torch Flame Kindling is not comparable to that lotus seed, right?" said Boxun.

The white-dressed woman nodded. "Yes, although the Torch Flame Kindling is extremely precious, it is indeed incomparable to that lotus seed. However, I got Blood Sea to release him, allowing him to escape imprisonment from Mt. Three Blades. He owes me a great amount of karma! While owing me karma… and me requesting the lotus seed, he only raised one condition. He wanted to exchange it for the Torch Flame Kindling. He also said that he will give me three thousand years! If I"m unable to succeed in three thousand years, he will seek Suirens.h.i.+  of the humans and exchange the lotus seed with them. I believe Suirens.h.i.+ will be happy to make the trade."

"Now two thousand years of that three thousand years have pa.s.sed," said the white-dressed woman. "I have thought of all means, but have not been able to obtain the Torch Flame Kindling."

"Suirens.h.i.+ is one of the humans" Three Sovereigns. He spent great time and effort to condense one Torch Flame Kindling; yet, you want to obtain it?" said Boxun with a scoff. "To exchange it with a lotus seed, the human"s Three Sovereigns will naturally be willing to do the trade, but if it"s anything else, the human"s Three Sovereigns might not even bother."

The woman shook her head. "I know, so I temporarily have no intention of making the deal with the human"s Three Sovereigns. I am seeking your help to think of means to obtain it."

"When it comes to manipulating people… although Patriarch Mental Demon is formidable in that aspect, he is still inferior to you." The white-dressed woman looked at Boxun.

Boxun did not say a word.

The ent.i.ty which Buddhist cultivators feared the most was not Patriarch Mental Demon but him, Boxun! Patriarch Mental Demon was only a pinnacle Ancestral Fiend while Boxun controlled the Great Dao of the Six Desires. He had reached the perfected Great Dao realm a long time ago and had been lurking away from the public eye for long. The various factions in the Three Realms had no idea how Boxun was at present. It would not be a surprise even if he were to break through to the Heavenly Dao realm one day.

"The human"s Three Sovereigns are not to be provoked. What price are you paying to get my help?" Boxun shot a glance at the Fiend Ancestor"s female form.

"As long as you accomplish it, I can give you all of the three flowers you have always been wanting."

"All of them?"

A glint flashed in the deep recesses of Boxun"s eyes as he nodded gently. "Alright, I"ll help you."

"I"ll give you eight centuries. If you are unable to accomplish it, I"ll have to think of other means."

"Don"t worry." Boxun nodded calmly.

The white-dressed woman left with a smile.

Heavenly realm, Mt. Lightning Roar, Qin Manor.

Qin Yun was guiding his granddaughter with dedication. He even attempted to use seven flying swords to demonstrate his Sword Dao. He also discovered that the Seven Stars Art he once created was quite suitable to be integrated with the seven-sword sword array. The moment he fused it, it made the sword array even more unfathomable and unpredictable. Its might increased drastically. When using it to demonstrate his Sword Dao, it allowed Qin Yun"s Sword Dao to produce more variations.

"Yuluo, I have been teaching you for two centuries." Qin Yun stood on a the mountain peak as he looked as his granddaughter. Fog lingered around him, appearing quite desolate.

"You have been cultivating on the mountains for the past two centuries, but my Sword Dao is comprised of the Heaven, Earth, and Man. It requires you to take a good look at the Heaven and Earth and this world of mortals," said Qin Yun. "Next, we"ll be going down the mountain together to travel the world. We will practice our swordplay together."

"Yes," Qin Yuluo answered immediately, but she could not help but ask, "Grandfather, you have taught me for so long. Won"t it disrupt your cultivation?"

"There"s no need for you to worry about that," Qin Yun said.

Ever since he infused his Seven Stars Art into the seven-sword sword array and attempted to fuse it into his Sword Dao, Qin Yun had vaguely sensed some changes.

He had a feeling that he would benefit from it if he continued.

Subsequently…

Qin Yun led his granddaughter, Qin Yuluo, down the mountain and they began traveling the world, practicing their sword arts along the way.Suiren appears in Chinese mythology and is credited as a culture hero who introduce humans to the production of fire and its use for cooking.
