Twenty Eighth Palm Longquan Sword And Tao Te Ching
At this moment, Su Chen felt triumphant.
"What's the matter? Are you not going back on your word this time?" the old man asked seriously.
"Among the people I've met, no one has been able to master two completely different chess techniques at the same time."
"Because playing chess requires a state of mind, and a person's character can be seen through their chess skills. Everyone has a different state of mind, so they have different chess techniques."
"So, I'm curious, how did you manage to have two different chess techniques at the same time?"
Su Chen immediately thought of his "Heart Nurturing Technique".
Could it be because of the Heart Nurturing Technique?
Li Sanjin once said that no one can simultaneously master both sword cultivation and the Dao, because the state of mind required for these two cultivation paths is different.
The old man continued, "Since I came to this Three Thousand Small World, I have never seen a cultivator like you."
Su Chen touched his head, not knowing how to answer.
He couldn't possibly tell the old man about having a system, could he?
Just then, the old man spoke again, "Young man, let me tell you about my origins!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen became interested and his attitude became more serious as he assumed a listening posture.
A satisfied expression flashed in the old man's eyes as he slowly began to speak.
"I am not from this world, I come from the Great Thousand Worlds."
Su Chen was stunned.
The Great Thousand Worlds?
No wonder he couldn't see through the old man's cultivation. Coming from the Great Thousand Worlds, the old man had already surpassed the Mahayana Stage.
This inconspicuous old man turned out to be an unparalleled powerhouse who had surpassed the Mahayana Stage.
The old man smiled.
"Young man, let me ask you, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of the two cultivation methods?"
"There are no disadvantages. Like you said, softness can overcome hardness, and hardness can overcome softness. It depends on the individual's state of mind."
Su Chen replied.
A hint of surprise appeared in the old man's eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Cultivation itself has no distinction between strength and weakness. It mainly depends on how the cultivator understands martial arts. I believe that sword cultivation and the Dao can coexist."
"For example, I can wield a long sword and display my prowess on the battlefield, slaying demons and monsters. I can also be eloquent and engage in debates on principles."
Su Chen spoke slowly.
At this moment, his understanding of cultivation was completely different from when he had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.
The old man's eyes brightened, and then he looked at Su Chen with astonishment.
Su Chen was puzzled by the old man's gaze and asked, "Old man, you promised me that you wouldn't go back on your word this time."
The old man smiled and said, "Young man, your answer is good. Let me give you two things."
As he spoke, the old man took out two objects from his body.
One of the objects was a long sword, and the other was a book.
Both objects appeared ordinary.
"This sword is called the Dragon Spring Sword, wielded by a sword cultivator from the Great Thousand Worlds. And this book is called the Tao Te Ching, left behind by a great Confucian scholar."
"These two things will be very beneficial to your cultivation."
"I'm giving them to you."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this old man still had a conscience this time.
After all, these were gifts from an unparalleled powerhouse from the Great Thousand Worlds. Su Chen expressed his gratitude and carefully accepted the items.
The old man smiled, said no more, and waved his hand, taking Su Chen out of the secret realm.
Su Chen felt a sudden change in the surrounding environment. Then, he found himself in a valley outside.
Spiritual energy surrounded him, and there were faintly wandering spirit beasts in the mountains.
This was the valley of Veiled Spirit Peak.
Su Chen felt as if he had just had a dream, but the Dragon Spring Sword and the Tao Te Ching were still with him.
This made him realize that the chess game was real, not just an illusionary dream.
Su Chen carefully put away the two treasures.
At this moment, four figures arrived gloomily.
Leading the way was Chen Yuwei, followed by Liu Lingyu and Senior Sister Li. Beside these three people, there was also a woman.
This woman could be described as stunningly beautiful, with a tall figure and an ethereal temperament that seemed otherworldly.
Chen Yuwei's face was full of shock. Su Chen actually came out on his own?
At the same time, she felt relieved.
As long as Su Chen was fine, her punishment would be reduced.
Liu Lingyu flew forward and asked with concern, "Su Chen, are you okay?"
Su Chen nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Senior Sister Li looked at Su Chen. In just half a month of separation, Senior Sister Li felt that Su Chen had changed slightly.
This change was not a change in cultivation level. Senior Sister Li couldn't explain exactly what it was.
Leng Wushuang looked at Su Chen.
This seedling of cultivation looked good, but from his appearance, it was hard to tell if there was anything special about him.
"You are Su Chen?"
Leng Wushuang spoke.
Su Chen nodded and bowed.
"Lingyu, this is our Veiled Spirit Sect's Sect Master, Leng Wushuang."
Su Chen took a step forward and bowed.
"Seedling of cultivation Su Chen pays respects to the Sect Master."
Leng Wushuang nodded.
"Lingyu said that you were trapped in a secret realm?"
Su Chen briefly explained the situation, but he did not mention the Dragon Spring Sword and the Book of Morality.
Chen Yuwei took a step forward and said, "Sect Master, it's all my fault. I'm willing to accept punishment."
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly spoke, "What fault does Senior Sister Chen have?"
"It was my decision to enter the valley on my own, so I ended up trapped in the secret realm. It's my fault and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Chen Yuwei appeared somewhat surprised.
Why was Su Chen speaking up for her?
Su Chen's expression remained calm.
"As a seedling of cultivation, I shouldn't have entered this valley filled with spiritual energy. I should be punished."
Senior Sister Li looked at Su Chen with satisfaction in her eyes.
Leng Wushuang sighed inwardly, thinking that this seedling of cultivation was indeed a bold person.
She spoke, "Since you have safely come out, let's let this matter pass. I won't investigate anyone's responsibility."
She waved her hand.
"Everyone, please leave. I have something to discuss with Senior Sister Li."
Liu Lingyu and Chen Yuwei heard this and prepared to leave.
Su Chen also followed Chen Yuwei and left the valley.
After the three of them left, Leng Wushuang spoke, "This seedling of cultivation is nothing special after all."
"He just has a higher talent for cultivation, but he started on the path of cultivation too late. He won't achieve great success in this lifetime."
Leng Wushuang carefully examined Su Chen's strength.
He was currently at the ninth stage of Qi Refining realm.
But at Su Chen's age, this cultivation level was not considered high.
Senior Sister Li smiled and said, "I think this seedling of cultivation will achieve something."
Leng Wushuang was taken aback for a moment, then sighed, "Let's first look at the matter of the Demon Clan's Gate!"
