In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the battle between Kitsune and Yun Ting.
In this half a year, Su Zimo had been in seclusion in Kitsune's dwelling.
After coming to the Sword World, there was a rare period of peace. During this time, no one came to challenge him.
On this day, a pulse of consciousness came from outside the dwelling.
Although Su Zimo sensed it, the pulse of consciousness was rather weak. He remained in a meditative state and did not awaken.
"Brother Su, brother Su …"
After a while, the pulse of consciousness came in again. This time, it seemed rather cautious.
Yun Ting?
Su Zimo opened his eyes. He did not know why Yun Ting had come, but he still used his consciousness to open the door to the dwelling.
Yun Ting saw the door open, but he did not walk in. Instead, he looked inside the dwelling. It was unknown what he was looking for.
Su Zimo called out, "Brother Yun, what is it? Why don't you come in?"
Yun Ting coughed gently and sent a message with his consciousness, "Brother Su, is your disciple inside?"
"Kitsune?"
Su Zimo said, "She's not here. She's gone to the Myriad Sword Palace to cultivate."
After becoming a core disciple, Kitsune had the opportunity to go to the Myriad Sword Palace to cultivate before the Daluo Sword Stele and comprehend the Sword World's forbidden secret scripture, the Daluo Sword Mantra.
The Daluo Sword Mantra was imprinted on the Daluo Sword Stele.
In the Sword World, the Daluo Sword Mantra did not belong to anyone.
In the past, the Great Allheaven Emperor had passed down an ancient teaching. As long as a core disciple of the Sword World swore not to impart the Sword Dao of the sword mantra to outsiders and did not betray the Sword World, they could comprehend the Sword Dao before the Daluo Sword Mantra.
It was precisely because of this ancient teaching of the Great Emperor of Allheaven that the Sword Realm had been one of the most powerful realms for numerous epochs!
Every person who read the Daluo Sword Mantra would comprehend a different Sword Dao according to their different experiences, physique, bloodline, and cultivation methods.
This gave rise to the eight most powerful Sword Daos of the Sword World, which became the eight great sword peaks of the present day.
"Oh."
Hearing that Kitsune wasn't inside, Yun Ting breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Relaxing, he swaggered into the cave.
"Is something the matter, Brother Yun?"
Su Zimo asked.
Just as Yun Ting was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Su Zimo's cultivation and couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim, "Your cultivation speed is too fast! You're already at the Heaven Being Stage?"
Su Zimo nodded and said, "It's been half a year."
During the last tribulation, Yun Ting's attention was all on Kitsune. He didn't notice that Su Zimo had already broken through.
It was much harder to raise one's cultivation base in the True First Realm compared to the Mystic, Earth, and Sky Primal realms.
This not only required a large amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and cultivation resources, but it also required a new understanding of the Heaven and Earth.
Even someone as talented as Yun Ting, who specialized in Sword Dao, hadn't reached the peak of the Consolidation Stage, but Su Zimo was already at the Heaven Being Stage!
Yun Ting had always regarded Su Zimo as his opponent. Even after being defeated twice by Su Zimo, he didn't give up.
But half a year ago, he lost to Beiming Xue, which was a huge blow to him.
Now that he saw that Su Zimo's cultivation base had surpassed his, he felt another blow to his heart.
One had to know that Su Zimo had defeated him twice in a lower cultivation base.
Moreover, Su Zimo hadn't used his full strength. At least, he hadn't released Qinglian's Qi and blood.
If the two of them were at the same level, Yun Ting wouldn't have been so confident.
But now, Su Zimo's cultivation base was even higher than his.
This meant that there was no way he could beat Su Zimo!
No matter how proud and conceited Yun Ting was, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Su Zimo smiled and changed the topic. "Are you here to spar with Beiming?"
He thought that Yun Ting had asked about Kitsune's whereabouts because he wanted to spar with Kitsune.
Moreover, Yun Ting had always been belligerent. After losing to Kitsune in front of so many people, he definitely wouldn't admit defeat and would find another chance to fight.
Unexpectedly, when Yun Ting heard the words "spar with Kitsune", he shuddered and hurriedly said, "I'm not looking for her. I don't want to spar with her!"
"Uh …"
Seeing Yun Ting's resistance, Su Zimo was taken aback.
Yun Ting was so belligerent and conceited that he didn't want to regain his dignity after losing once?
Yun Ting had always refused to admit defeat and wanted to spar with him a third time.
Did Beiming Xue defeat Yun Ting with just one hit?
Su Zimo looked at Yun Ting with a half-smile and asked, "Didn't you want to pursue Beiming?"
"No, no, no!"
Yun Ting shook his head like a rattle drum and said with lingering fear, "That crazy woman …"
As soon as he said that, he realized that something was wrong. He coughed and corrected himself. "Your disciple is too fierce. I can't handle her."
"It took me two months just to recuperate from the battle with her! If we become dao partners in the future, I'm afraid I won't live past next year. "
Su Zimo: "…"
Half a year had passed, but Yun Ting's face still showed deep fear.
Su Zimo suddenly regretted not watching the battle live.
He wondered what the battle between the two of them had been like to leave such a huge psychological shadow in Yun Ting's heart …
Su Zimo comforted him. "Beiming isn't the only woman in the sword world. You can find other women."
"Nah."
Yun Ting waved it off and grinned. "Women are all the same. They're frighteningly fierce. My sister may seem gentle and quiet usually, but she's ruthless when she's mad!"
"It's better to cultivate the sword dao. I'll stop thinking about that in the future and focus on cultivating the sword."
"Brother Su, this tribulation is probably a test from the heavens to remind me that I have to cultivate the sword dao wholeheartedly and not let my imagination run wild."
Yun Ting lamented, as though he had seen through the mortal world and was enlightened.
Su Zimo had a strange expression.
He could sense a Zen intent of the Buddhist sects from Yun Ting.
"This …"
Su Zimo muttered internally.
Kitsune couldn't have sent Yun Ting into seclusion in this battle, could she?
If Yunzhu knew about this, she wondered what she would think.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the door.
"Su Zhu, I'm Lu Yun, the peak master of Sword Slaughter Peak. I'm here to visit."
The peak master of Sword Slaughter Peak!
Su Zimo and Yun Ting looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know why this immortal king had come to visit.
"Please come in."
Su Zimo rose and welcomed the young man into the residence.
Lu Yun nodded slightly with a smile when he saw Yun Ting.
"Do you need me to leave, Peak Master Lu?"
Yun Ting asked with a bow.
Lu Yun hesitated. "That's not necessary."
Thereafter, he turned to Su Zimo and cupped his fists, saying in a deep voice, "I'm here to thank my young friend Su Zhu."
"Senior, you're too kind. Why do you thank me?"
Su Zimo asked.
"Thank you for teaching Wu Dao to Kitsune, young friend. You've taught such a peerless genius and saved her from the brink of death."
