A moment later, Yan Beichen retracted his saber and stood upright.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and could not conceal the excitement in his eyes.
Apart from the final stance of the Sea Calming Manual that he could not release, he had already comprehended the other four stances to the 'force' level!
The reason why he was able to comprehend it so quickly was mainly because of the pressure that Yan Beichen gave him.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to reach this level even if he practiced against the air for a few years or decades without an opportunity.
If cultivators wanted to truly grow, they had to temper themselves through life and death situations continuously!
Of course, what truly excited Su Zimo was not only that he had comprehended the 'force' level.
More than that, it was because he was not weaker than the number one paragon of Tianhuang Mainland's North Region in terms of saber techniques even though they were of the same strength!
Although Yan Beichen had been immersed in the Dao of the saber for more than a thousand years, he was not disadvantaged.
"Awesome!"
Su Zimo was drenched in sweat and felt refreshed.
Yan Beichen's expression was cold and his gaze was calm, as though he could see through Su Zimo's thoughts.
"Do you think that you're strong enough to defend against my saber?" Yan Beichen asked indifferently.
Su Zimo remained silent.
Based on the exchange Just Now, although Yan Beichen was suppressing him the entire time, he did not reveal any openings. Instead, he defended against all of the other party's saber techniques!
However, even if Yan Beichen saw through this, Su Zimo could not admit it.
However, Yan Beichen's next sentence sent chills down Su Zimo's spine!
"Take a look at your body,"
Yan Beichen's eyes shone with disdain.
Su Zimo frowned slightly and looked down. Instantly, he froze and his pupils constricted.
He didn't know when, but the green robe on his chest had already been slashed open, right near his heart. The slashes crisscrossed and formed a large 'death' character!
"This …"
Su Zimo felt his hands and feet turn cold.
This meant that if it was a battle of life and death, he would have died six times in this short battle Just Now!
The most frightening thing was that he hadn't noticed anything from the beginning to the end!
The more Su Zimo thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Just Now, all the pride and excitement had disappeared.
If there were no restrictions, Su Zimo might not have lost given his movement technique, speed and terrifying physique of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.
But at least in terms of saber techniques, Su Zimo was completely defeated.
Yan Beichen touched his storage pouch and two ancient scrolls appeared in his palm. He handed them over to Su Zimo.
Su Zimo took a closer look and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Tidal Sweep!"
The Saber Sovereign had left behind two manuals in the Primordial Battlefield. One of them was the Sea Calming Manual, which was obtained by Su Zimo.
The other was the Tidal Sweep, which was obtained by Yan Beichen a thousand years ago.
Yan Beichen said, "The Tidal Sweep is not a saber technique, but a secret skill with a total of nine levels. Back then, the Saber Sovereign created it by observing the tides at the seaside. It interweaves with Dao and Dharma and contains the mysteries of the universe. "
"The Tidal Sweep and Sea Calming Manuals complement each other. Cultivating the Tidal Sweep will allow one to cultivate a surge of Tidal Might. At the first level, one will release an additional level of power with each slash of the saber. That is Tidal Might. "
Su Zimo seemed to have understood something.
Yan Beichen continued, "At the first level of the Tidal Sweep, one's strength will increase by 10%. At the second level, it will increase by 20%. Don't underestimate that 10% or 20% increase. In a real battle, the difference is way too obvious! "
Su Zimo was secretly shocked.
If he could cultivate the Ninth Level of Tidal Might, it would be equivalent to a 90% increase in strength and would be equivalent to double his combat strength – that would be enough to sweep through those of the same cultivation realm!
"Of course, the greatest use of Tidal Might is to make up for the flaws of the Sea Calming Manual."
Yan Beichen said, "Your first four stances are already at the point of perfection. However, there's still some sluggishness in the transition between hard and soft. It's not smooth enough."
"In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, these flaws are almost impossible to see. However, if you meet someone truly ruthless, you'll be in danger of losing your life! "
Su Zimo was enlightened.
When he was practicing his saber technique previously, he had indeed felt a slight sluggishness.
However, in the ancient battlefield, no one noticed that flaw when he fought against the paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects. As such, Su Zimo did not pay much attention to it.
To think that a flaw like that would be so fatal in the eyes of a true expert!
Su Zimo was grateful.
He had not expected Yan Beichen to be so decisive and impart the Tidal Might to him without hesitation.
"Senior, let me practice the Sea Calming Manual once and I'll teach you the crux of it."
Su Zimo's intentions were simple. He wanted to impart the Sea Calming Manual to Yan Beichen as a form of exchange.
"There's no need,"
Yan Beichen waved it off with an indifferent expression. "I've already begun to comprehend my own Dao. In my eyes, the Sea Calming Manual is nothing much!"
There was a hint of arrogance in Yan Beichen's tone.
He was confident that he would definitely become a Conferred Emperor in the future and his accomplishments would definitely surpass the Saber Emperor's!
Su Zimo did not insist and moved the Tidal Might away. Looking at the second ancient scroll, he could not help but frown. "Shura Saber?"
The other secret skill was the secret technique of Shura Sect, Shura Saber!
"This …"
Su Zimo was stunned.
Did Yan Beichen's actions mean that he wanted him to join Shura Sect?
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before returning the Shura Saber. "I've never thought of leaving Misty Peak. Please take back this Shura Saber, senior."
Yan Beichen glanced at it but did not take it back.
"Even if you don't join Shura Sect, you can take this saber technique and cultivate it."
"That's … inappropriate, right?"
Su Zimo frowned.
If anyone were to impart such a secret skill of a sect privately, they would definitely be punished by the sect and might even lose their lives!
"If I dare to impart it, you don't dare to learn it?" Yan Beichen sneered.
Su Zimo was silent.
He had truly gotten into a lot of trouble in the ancient battlefield and there was truly nothing he did not dare to learn.
Furthermore, it was not as though Su Zimo had never cultivated cultivation techniques of the fiend sects before.
Back in the underground river, Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were trapped in a narrow stone coffin and cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra left behind in the stone coffin.
At that thought, Su Zimo put away the two ancient scrolls.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo thought of something and asked, "Shura Sect is far away in the Middle Continent. Senior, you were able to rush over in time because Senior Gu Xi sent a message?"
Yan Beichen nodded and looked at Su Zimo with a strange gaze. "To think that the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects of this generation would choose you as her tripod."
This was the second time Su Zimo heard the word 'tripod'.
The first time was when the Sealer of Illusion Fiend Cult questioned Demoness Ji beneath the Human Emperor's Palace and the latter admitted it frankly.
"Pure Maiden Sect's tripod? What's the meaning behind that?" Su Zimo could not help but ask.
Yan Beichen remained silent.
When Su Zimo saw that, he suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why are all the sects and cultivators in the territory of Great Zhou, including the Great Zhou Dynasty, so wary of the witch race?"
"That fear stems from a catastrophe 10,000 years ago," Yan Beichen replied indifferently.
