In the Qingyun Dao Sect.
At the rear cliff.
Ye Ping sat quietly on the ground, his gaze constantly fixed on the sword mark left behind by Su Changyu.
Two hours ago.
He was still clueless.
However, two hours passed.
As a gust of breeze blew past, Ye Ping suddenly felt something unusual.
The sword mark was sharp and seemed to have been left behind by a peerless swordsman. It contained a sword intent that was difficult for ordinary people to observe.
The more Ye Ping looked at the sword mark, the more shocked he felt.
In the end, a figure suddenly appeared in Ye Ping's mind.
This figure held a long sword in his hand, and was actually performing a sword technique.
Yes, it was sword moves.
Rumble!
It sounded like thunder, like a huge yellow bell ringing in his ears.
The figure in his mind became clearer.
The figure was performing sword moves, and each move made Ye Ping feel enlightened, as if he was practicing the sword himself.
The sword moves were swift and violent like a gust of wind.
There were a total of twelve sword moves, and every three moves felt different. It was as if there were four sword techniques that had been combined into one.
The twelve moves were performed vividly in his mind.
Besides, it was not performed once but continuously.
Once! Five times! Ten times! Fifty times! A hundred times!
The sword moves were performed faster and faster. In the past, it would take him twelve breaths to deduce once, but in the last six breaths, the last three breaths, and after a full two hours, he finished deducing once in a single breath.
Each deduction was equivalent to Ye Ping practicing the sword himself, and the enlightenment was even more terrifying than enlightenment.
Besides, there were more and more sword moves in his mind. Twelve sword moves … Fifteen sword moves … Twenty sword moves …
Sensing the sword techniques that were continuously emerging in his mind, Ye Ping couldn't help but be astonished.
"Eldest Senior Brother is indeed a peerless Sword Dao expert."
After waking up from the epiphany, Ye Ping was extremely excited.
He had only watched the sword mark for six hours, but he had already learned a sword technique.
That made Ye Ping feel that Su Changyu was a peerless expert.
However, Ye Ping soon regained his excitement.
He had calmed down.
"Ye Ping, don't get too excited, this is just the beginning. I'm afraid you'll only be able to comprehend more sword techniques in the future."
Ye Ping thought to himself.
He reminded himself not to get too excited and to remain calm. This was just the beginning.
After this reminder.
Ye Ping became calmer.
At the same time, he became more eager to learn.
To be honest, before comprehending the sword move, Ye Ping also had some suspicions that Su Changyu was fooling him. However, Ye Ping now believed that Su Changyu was definitely a peerless expert.
Hence, Ye Ping was even more attentive and hardworking than before.
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Su Changyu was holding a long sword in his hand and practicing swordsmanship in an open space.
Although his sword moves looked sharp, they lacked explosive power. Even those who didn't know much about swordsmanship could feel that there were some flaws in this set of sword techniques.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
Su Changyu put away his sword.
His forehead was covered in sweat, but in order to maintain his image, he did not sit on the ground to rest. Instead, he went to the side to recover his energy.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you've been practicing this sword technique for ten years. Why haven't you mastered it yet?"
Chen Lingrou, the little Junior Sister of the Qingyun Dao Sect, said while looking at Su Changyu with curiosity in her eyes.
"Little Junior Sister, you're too superficial."
Su Changyu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and then spoke slowly, looking profound and unfathomable.
"How am I superficial?"
Chen Lingrou was curious as she didn't understand why Su Changyu said that.
"Little Junior Sister, this set of sword techniques is not an ordinary sword technique. It's one of the top ten sword techniques in Qingzhou. It's called the Four Thunder Sword Technique."
"There are a total of four sets of this sword technique, which are called the Spring Thunder Sword Technique, the Summer Thunder Sword Technique, the Autumn Thunder Sword Technique, and the Winter Thunder Sword Technique."
"It's a sword technique of extreme Yang. If you master these four sets of sword techniques, you can attract the thunder of the four seasons, which has a miraculous effect on evil. Back then, Daoist Siji relied on this set of sword techniques to become famous in Qingzhou and establish the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect. Do you know?"
Su Changyu explained seriously, and when he mentioned this set of sword techniques, he would go on and on about it, wanting to praise it to the heavens.
"Four Thunder Sword Technique?"
Chen Lingrou didn't know much about sword techniques, but it sounded impressive.
"Eldest Senior Brother, which set are you at now?"
Chen Lingrou asked.
"I've already practiced the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship to the realm of perfection."
Su Changyu said with a proud expression.
"It's still the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship?"
Unfortunately, Chen Lingrou didn't give Su Changyu a chance to pretend to be impressive.
"Little Junior Sister, you're not a Sword Dao cultivator so you don't understand. This set of Four Thunder Sword Technique is the work of Daoist Siji."
"Daoist Siji said that ordinary Sword Dao cultivators might not be able to achieve perfection in this set of sword techniques even after 500 years. Even geniuses in the Sword Dao would need at least a hundred years. I'm not bragging about it, but I'm such a genius."
"Sword cultivators of our generation practice one sword every hundred years. Although I'm still stuck in the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship, I'm already considered outstanding in Qingzhou."
Su Changyu bragged about himself seriously.
"Furthermore, the sword techniques are divided into four minor realms: First Glimpse of the Door, Perfection, Great Accomplishment, and Great Perfection.
"I've only spent ten years to reach the Perfection Realm. In less than ten years, I'm confident that I'll be able to reach the Great Perfection Realm. I'll definitely be able to reach the Great Perfection Realm within a hundred years. At that time, you'll know how strong I am."
Su Changyu looked very confident and his eyes were full of hope for the future.
"I don't really understand." Chen Lingrou shook her head. She couldn't understand such things because the settings were too complicated.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I heard that you left a sword mark on Ye Ping. How long will it take for him to comprehend the sword moves and sword intent?"
Chen Lingrou asked curiously.
Su Changyu pondered for a while.
'How long will it take for him to comprehend?'
'No matter how long it takes, I won't be able to comprehend it.'
It was because there was no sword intent in the sword mark that he left behind. How could he comprehend it?
However, Su Changyu could only say those words in his heart. If others found out about it, they would find out that he was a good-for-nothing in the Sword Dao.
Hence, Su Changyu said slowly.
"The sword mark that Senior Brother left for him contains four sword techniques. If he can comprehend Senior Brother's sword technique within a year, it will be considered very good. As for sword intent? It's hard to say. "
Su Changyu said.
If Ye Ping was really a genius, he could indeed forcibly comprehend the Four Seasons Swordsmanship. As for the sword intent?
Wash up and go to sleep. Stop dreaming.
"What if I can comprehend it in a day?"
Chen Lingrou asked curiously.
Comprehended in one day?
Su Changyu glanced at Chen Lingrou and then shook his head. "That's almost impossible. If she can really comprehend it in a day, she'll be a peerless genius in the Sword Dao."
His tone was firm.
"What if he not only comprehended the Sword Art, but also comprehended the Sword Essence?"
Chen Lingrou asked.
Su Changyu was bewildered.
Are you bored? Asking such a wise question?
However, at the thought that Chen Lingrou was his Junior Sister, Su Changyu answered patiently.
"With just a sword mark, he was able to comprehend Senior Brother's sword technique. He can be considered a genius in the way of the sword. If he comprehended the Sword Intent, he would be considered the best genius in the Sword Dao in Qingzhou. "
Su Changyu answered.
"What if he comprehended hundreds of Sword Intents with just a sword mark?"
Chen Lingrou was surprised. She was not asking randomly, but she just felt that it sounded impressive and she was curious.
"Hundreds? He's the best in Qingzhou in the past 500 years. Even ten Daoist Siji would have to admit defeat. "
Su Changyu continued to answer patiently.
"What about thousands?"
Chen Lingrou continued to ask.
"He's the best in Jin Nation, the undisputed best."
Su Changyu answered directly.
"What about tens of thousands?"
Chen Lingrou continued to ask.
Su Changyu was speechless.
'Are you done?'
"Junior Sister, let me put it this way."
"Rumor has it that in the Sword Dao lineage, the sword technique is secondary and the sword intent is the most important. The more sword intent there is, the more magical any sword technique can be. Even a casual stab of the sword would be extremely terrifying."
"In the Sword Dao lineage, there are three major gaps in the sword intent. The first gap is the infinite sword intent which can't be described by quantity. If one reaches this realm, a Qi Refinement cultivator will be able to cross several realms and kill the enemy with a single sword strike."
"As for the second realm, it's very far away from us, so I won't talk about it. However, don't underestimate the first realm. You've heard a little about Daoist Siji, right?"
"He's the best Sword Dao powerhouse in Qingzhou. He's now more than 500 years old, but he hasn't even touched the edge of the first realm. There's only one powerhouse in the Ten Nations who barely took a step into the first realm on his 3,000th birthday. He's also known as the Sword Venerable Taixu and is treated as a distinguished guest by the Ten Nations."
"So, the focus of a true Sword Dao powerhouse is not the sword technique, but the sword intent. The more, the better."
Su Changyu spoke at length.
Chen Lingrou was confused, mainly because the setting was too complicated.
But it sounded like it was very powerful.
"All in all, the more sword intent comprehension, the better. Be it tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of sword intents, the goal will always be infinite sword intent. The infinite sword intent will make the Sword Dao invincible."
Su Changyu patted Chen Lingrou's head and said so.
"Got it, what about our little Junior Brother?"
Chen Lingrou continued to ask curiously.
In the entire Qingyun Dao Sect, Chen Lingrou was the most interested in Ye Ping. After all, she had always been the youngest. Now that there was finally a Junior Brother who was younger than her, she was naturally full of curiosity and anticipation.
"Him?"
Su Changyu looked at the sky with an indescribable sense of arrogance.
He then spoke slowly.
"He should be a wastrel in the Sword Dao."
Su Changyu said calmly.
However, at this moment …
Ye Ping, who was at the rear cliff, happened to comprehend the Four Thunder Sword Techniques …
