“This is the path of emotions.” Shen Ping smiled. The sword light on his fingertip turned into a flower and a blade of grass, then into dancing flames. “You can follow whatever you like. The sword is pure. There’s no need to dye it with dust.”
Fairy Lijiang’s talent was outstanding to begin with. If he said these words normally, it would not be of much use. It was different now. She was already in a state of emotional instability, so with a little guidance, she would be able to comprehend something as long as her comprehension was not too bad.
“Junior Sister, do you still like swords?” He looked into those eyes seriously.
Fairy Lijiang said softly, “I like it.”
“So as long as the sword is in your hand, what do you have to worry about? With a sword in hand, you have nothing to fear.”
Fairy Lijiang’s eyes gradually lit up. “The sword is pure, and the sea accepts all rivers. My sword is everything in the world…”
Shen Ping floated to the eaves again, and the graceful figure in the courtyard, who was dressed in a light gauze and white shirt, had already unknowingly started practicing her sword technique. This sword technique was none other than the Water Splitting Sword Technique.
Originally, Fairy Lijiang had only grasped less than 30% of the Water Splitting Sword Technique, but now, it had directly increased to 60%. Her sword intent had already obtained the true essence of the technique.
He could not help but sigh. This was really a Sword Dao genius. With a little guidance, she stepped into the Sword Dao of Emotions.
When Fairy Lijiang finished her sword technique and was about to thank him, the sloppy and lazy figure had already disappeared. She could not help but laugh, but she still said, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”
…
Shen Ping did not watch the competition again. Ever since he saw Fairy Lijiang comprehend the Sword Dao of Emotion that night, he knew that there was no doubt about the outcome. At this moment, he followed the black-robed man with his True Spirit mark to an ordinary house in a county near Lijiang City.
The man in black was extremely vigilant, but unfortunately, he still could not sense that someone was following him. There was a hidden mechanism in the courtyard. He followed the secret passage. The man in black returned to Seeping River Academy and arrived at the main peak.
This surprised Shen Ping. He really did not expect there to be such a hidden and long secret passage under the main peak. Moreover, it seemed that the passageway was specially forged with medicinal liquid smeared on the surface to prevent investigation. Of course, it was mainly because he had not used his true soul power to extend underground.
“Greetings, Hall Master!” The man in black bowed respectfully. Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. The Hall Master of Jin Tang in front of him was actually an immortal. Judging from his aura, he was at the mid-stage of the immortal realm. However, the sword intent aura on his body was actually the sword technique of Seeping River Academy.
“Marquis Zhenbei has already comprehended the true secret of the Sword Dao from the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers. It should be a sword technique. There’s no point in stealing the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers. The most important thing now is to obtain that sword technique from Marquis Zhenbei,” the Immortal said.
The black-robed man was shocked, “The Marquis of Zhenbei has comprehended it? Hall Master, if that’s the case, I’m afraid we’ll need an Immortal to do it. The Marquis of Zhenbei is extremely powerful. I’m not his match.”
The head of the Jin Tang nodded. “I know. This Marquis of Zhenbei is very strange. I suspect that the former Marquis of Zhenbei left something to his son. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached this level in such a short period of time. Take advantage of the Sword Dao exchange and go to the Marquis of Zhenbei’s residence to search carefully. See if you can find that thing!”
The man in black hesitated and said, “Hall Master, we searched inside and outside back then. From the clues, it should be in the Imperial Capital or Monarch Mountain.”
“What, are you questioning my orders?”
“Please calm down, Hall Master. I’m just stating my opinion.”
“Hmph, what you did back then was unclean. If I didn’t protect you, you would be a dead person now! Go and search quickly. As for the Marquis of Zhenbei, I have my ways to deal with him.”
“Understood.”
After the black-clothed man left, Shen Ping had used a special method to leave his true soul power on the Hall Master. Unless the other party’s true soul power broke through to the Immortal King Realm, it would be extremely difficult to discover this tracking method.
He stayed for a while, then he saw the Hall Master walk into a special secret room. In the secret room, there was an oval stone platform. The stone platform was covered in mysterious patterns. When the patterns lit up, the Hall Master disappeared.
Shen Ping blinked. Was this a long-distance teleportation? There was actually such a thing in this world! It was very difficult to teleport over a long distance. One had to have a deep attainment in talisman arrays. However, there was no talisman array here at all. The runes on the stone platform were very mysterious. It was very likely left behind by the owner of the Realm Sea Peak back then.
“Bloodline Array Formation.” He studied it carefully. He frowned. This type of talisman formation could only be activated with a special bloodline. It was unrealistic to follow them. “Forget it, I’ve left a True Spirit Mark anyway. He can’t escape! What are they looking for? Back then, my father could rise quickly. Could it be that he relied on some kind of treasure?”
With this doubt in mind, Shen Ping returned to the courtyard in Lijiang City, and he asked Madame Yu, “Mother, when my father went to the depths of the Demon Nation back then, did he leave you any words or things?”
Madame Yu looked at Shen Ping. “Why did you suddenly ask about this? Your father left in a hurry and didn’t leave anything behind.”
“Didn’t my father usually tell you about some special treasure or something?”
“No.”
He stared at Madame Yu. She wasn’t lying. It seemed like she really didn’t know. That was strange. Could it be that his father did not even trust the person beside him?! Or did he transfer it somewhere else?
There were no leads, so Shen Ping could only suppress this matter. He was just a little interested. Several days later, The Sword Dao Exchange officially came to an end. As expected, Seeping River Academy took first place in the exchange competition, and Fairy Lijiang even took first place on the Cosmos Ranking, earning the admiration of all the swordsmen in the world.
Huo Ru the Sword Saint Taixuan said with a cold expression, “How did she enter the Sword Dao of Emotions? Compared to the Grand Forgotten Love of the Sword Tower, the Sword Dao of Emotions is the most difficult to enter!”
Originally, she had comprehended the Heartless Sword Dao and vowed to take back the glory of the Sword Whisper Tower. In the end, Fairy Lijiang had actually stepped into the Sword Dao of Emotions.
Although there was no such thing as superiority in the way of the sword, the Emotion Sword suppressed the Heartless Sword. At least from the past competitions, this was the case. However, the Sword Dao of Emotion was very difficult to comprehend, especially during the Earth Immortal Realm. Very few people could step into it.
A Sword Son said, “Saint Huo, that Yao should have just stepped in. I heard that she’s very close to the Marquis of Zhenbei. Many students have seen them together. The Marquis of Zhenbei even went to her mountain at night. Perhaps it’s the Marquis’ trick.”
“Bah! How shameless. A fairy from the academy actually hooked up with the Marquis of Zhenbei. However, this matter is still a little strange.” Huo Ru secretly gritted her teeth. Rumor had it that the Marquis of Zhenbei had a profound sword intent and was extremely talented. Even the Sword Whisper Tower’s Sword Master praised him more. Otherwise, he would not have promised to marry the Sword Seed to him.
The Sword Son beside her said, “Let’s stay in the academy for a few more days. The Sword Master has also instructed us not to be in a hurry to go back.”
Compared to the Academy, the Sword Whisper Tower had lost many times. Although they were almost certain that they would lose this time, they did not feel much pressure. Moreover, the Sword Master’s goal was not this exchange, but to matchmake Huo Ru with the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Palace Master Yan’s face lit up. “Xian’er, you did well this time. I didn’t expect you to comprehend the Sword Dao of Emotions. It seems that our academy has a successor!”
Yao Xian hurriedly said, “It’s all thanks to Senior Brother Shen. If not for his guidance that night, I wouldn’t even know how to step into the Sword Dao of Emotions.”
She briefly recounted what had happened that night. Palace Master Yan lamented, “The Marquis of Zhenbei is indeed a piece of unpolished jade. His understanding of the Sword Dao is very deep. The fact that he can comprehend the true meaning of the Mountain and River Diagram already shows this… Xian’er, now that you have stepped into the Sword Dao, prepare to break through to the Immortal Realm.”
“Ah… Palace Master, I-I don’t have much confidence to step into the Immortal Realm,” Yao Xian said nervously. Eighth-realm immortals were a huge threshold.
Palace Master Yan smiled and said, “It’s fine. You’ve already accumulated enough. Now that you’ve stepped into the Sword Dao, you’ll be able to enter the Immortal Realm sooner or later. The academy will help you.”
