At this moment, Lu Xuan was crying bitterly in his heart. This old man's sword technique was truly too exquisite. Moreover, this old man had been studying sword techniques for many years and had studied many different sword techniques. No matter how Lu Xuan tried to break the old man's technique, he would always be able to counter it and even launch a counterattack. This feeling was as if he clearly knew that he was right, but his opponent was so knowledgeable that he could say that he was wrong.
"I have no choice but to use this move," Lu Xuan thought to himself. Following which, Lu Xuan's sword technique became even more ferocious, forcing the old man to retreat and changing from defense to offense.
The old man wanted to attack, but who would have thought that at this moment, Lu Xuan's aura would suddenly change. He was clearly looking at Lu Xuan, but he felt as if he was looking at a sword, a flawless sword. Under his shock, he couldn't help but stop his attack and stared at Lu Xuan.
Ye Wenyan stood up straight with a solemn look on his face. He could not help but close his eyes and unleash his senses. He was able to clearly sense a sword will that pierced through the heavens and the earth coming from where Lu Xuan was. That feeling was so intense that it felt like a dazzling beam of light amidst the darkness, making it impossible to ignore.
"The aura of being one with the universe, it's definitely the aura of being one with the universe!" Ye Wenyan was so excited that the muscles on his face were trembling. After which, he opened his eyes and stared at Lu Xuan, wanting to see every detail of Lu Xuan. Being one with the universe, he had only heard of it, but he had never seen it before. He didn't think that he would see it today from a junior.
At this moment, there was nothing else in Lu Xuan's eyes, there was only the sword in his hand and the sword in his heart. The Masked Sword didn't have the slightest bit of fanciness as a dazzling sword light shot out. One sword from the west, the world bowed!
At this moment, be it Ye Wenyan or the strange old man, all they could see was the Unity of Heaven and Man. In the face of the incoming sword, the strange old man seemed to be in a daze. He did not dodge or evade, but his lips kept opening and closing, as though he wanted to say something but did not know what to say.
The sword light pierced the strange old man's body, then it shattered and disappeared. Lu Xuan didn't use any energy to activate this sword, it was only pure intent, so it didn't have any killing power. Otherwise, the strange old man wouldn't have dared to dodge, he would've already died.
Ye Wenyan closed his eyes, tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes. He wasn't crying, it was because he was too focused on this sword attack that he used too much of his eyes to protect himself. If he didn't close his eyes in time, he would've gone blind forever.
Ye Wenyan used to be a genius of the Ye Clan. After he went into seclusion, he cleaned the stairs of the Sky Sword Mountain all year round, subtly receiving the comprehension of countless sword intents. The more he understood, the more he longed for the legendary being one with the universe. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, the satisfaction he felt was indescribable.
The three of them felt very carefree. Ye Wenyan had gotten what he wanted and witnessed the Oneness of Heaven and Man. The strange old man had personally witnessed the power of Formless. Lu Xuan had debated with the strange old man for a long time. Now that he had personally demonstrated the Oneness of Heaven and Man, coupled with what he had learned in Heavenly Sword Mountain, he suddenly felt that his understanding of the Oneness of Heaven and Man had deepened.
"This move is powerful. No techniques, it really is no techniques." The strange old man let out a long sigh. Actually, when he was exchanging blows with Lu Xuan, he realized that Lu Xuan's state of mind was one level higher than his. However, his unwillingness to admit defeat caused him to constantly change his moves and forcefully fight against Lu Xuan. Now that he saw this move, he understood that no matter what move he used, he wouldn't be able to win. Perhaps the only way to win was to use strength that was stronger than Lu Xuan to forcefully suppress him. However, that would be meaningless.
"Hehe, Wenjun, do you admit defeat?" Ye Wenyan looked at the strange old man and laughed.
However, Lu Xuan's heart moved. Ye Wenjun? They were both from the same generation. Could this old man be from the same generation as Ye Wenyan?
Ye Wenjun laughed bitterly and threw the sword in his hand to the ground. He said, "What a pity. I have studied the way of the sword in Sky Sword Mountain for my entire life, but I have taken a wrong path. Sigh, nothing is more tragic than this."
"Senior's words are wrong. Junior does not dare to agree." Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said.
Ye Wenjun looked at Lu Xuan and said, "You have just won against me. What do you mean by saying this now? Are you mocking me? Are you going to be the good guy and the bad guy? "
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Senior's sword art is exquisite. It is the best I have seen in my life. How could I dare to mock you? As the saying goes, no move wins over a move. Actually, no move is still a move. It is just that it focuses on the meaning and not the form. Senior once said that the sword is a move when it is unsheathed. How can there be no move? Just now, Senior and Junior fought so many times, and there were dozens of sword moves. In Junior's opinion, Senior has almost comprehended the path of no move winning over a move. "
Hearing Lu Xuan say this, Ye Wenjun's expression became slightly better. He nodded and continued to listen to Lu Xuan.
"Sword moves and sword intent complement each other, and neither can be dispensed with. Senior's swordsmanship is so exquisite, and now you understand the meaning of no moves. Why don't you use your countless years of accumulation to achieve mastery and form your own? There are thousands of ways of the sword, and there is never a best one. Only the one that suits you is the best. "
"Achieve mastery and form your own style … the one that suits you is the best?" Ye Wenjun muttered to himself. He seemed to have understood something. A moment later, he laughed loudly. "Well said! Well said! This old man has wasted countless years in Heavenly Sword Mountain. My thoughts have long been bound by the thoughts of my predecessors. I only wanted to absorb the essence of my predecessors' sword arts, but I never thought to extract the essence, get rid of the impurities, and form my own style! "
"Third brother, you have comprehended." Ye Wenyan stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Ye Wenjun chuckled and was overjoyed. He cupped his hands at Ye Wenyan and said, "Big brother, I want to leave the mountain. Back then, I was an outstanding talent of my generation, but I was attracted by the essence of sword arts in Heavenly Sword Mountain. I stayed here for a hundred years, and the outside world has probably forgotten who I am. Now that I have comprehended, it is time to go out and take a look."
"Very good, very good. According to Wuhen, the Heavenly Sword Continent seems to be in trouble again. Even I will not be able to stay out of it. Now that you have achieved great success in the way of the sword, you will definitely be able to do something after you leave the mountain and greatly increase the strength of our Ye Family." Ye Wenyan laughed loudly.
He then looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Xuan 'er, quickly greet your granduncle."
Lu Xuan had already guessed Ye Wenjun's identity. He smiled and said, "Junior Lu Xuan greets granduncle."
After saying this, Lu Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart. During this trip to Mount Jiuhua, he had recognized quite a few ancestors. Moreover, the two people in front of him were probably the greatest ancestors of the Ye Family.
The strength of a fifth-rank sect was indeed not to be underestimated. The Ye Family's twenty thousand years of heritage was even more terrifying. Although Ye Wenyan and Ye Wenjun were only at the pinnacle of the Taixu Realm, Lu Xuan did not doubt that either of them could rival two or three ordinary pinnacle of the Taixu Realm. The accumulation of hundreds of years of comprehension was not to be underestimated. From the fight between him and Ye Wenjun just now, he could see a trace of it.
Hearing Lu Xuan call him granduncle, Ye Wenjun could not help but let out an "oh". He looked at Lu Xuan from head to toe and said, "Could it be that you are a direct descendant of the Ye Family?"
"I am the only son of the current Ye Family Master, Ye Wuhen."
Ye Wenjun chuckled and said, "Traceless, that little girl's child has actually grown up so much? Haha, not bad, not bad. You are more promising than Wuhen. Back then, he also came to persuade me, but he could not explain the exquisite principles of swordsmanship like yours, nor could he use such powerful swordsmanship. "
After saying this, Ye Wenjun rubbed his hands and said, "Xuan 'er, right? Come, granduncle, let me make a deal with you. After I have mastered the principles of swordsmanship accumulated over the past hundred years, you will be my successor, okay? I have seen many disciples of the Ye Family in the past hundred years, but none of them can be half as good as you. I don't think they can inherit the essence of this old man. "
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you, granduncle, for thinking highly of me. Of course, I dare not refuse. However, I have to make an agreement with granduncle. If your principles of swordsmanship are not good enough, I will not learn it."
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun laughed and pointed at Lu Xuan. He said, "Good lad, you actually dare to bargain with me. However, I like what you said. If what I create is not good enough, I will immediately destroy it myself. Why would I let it be passed down to the world? Hmph, just because of what you said, I will have to put in a lot of effort. "
"Xuan 'er, the sword technique you used just now, is it the legendary realm of oneness of heaven and man?" Ye Wenyan still could not forget the sword technique Lu Xuan had just used.
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed oneness of heaven and man. This technique is the general outline of a set of sword techniques. It is called oneness of heaven and man."
"So it is. I wonder which wise ancestor was able to create such a supreme technique. My Ye Family believes that our swordsmanship is the best in the Heavenly Sword Continent, but we do not have such a supreme technique passed down to the world. As expected, there is always someone better than you." Ye Wenyan sighed.
Seeing that Ye Wenyan seemed to be distressed, Lu Xuan could not help but say, "Granduncle, there is no need to be so concerned. In fact, this sword technique was also created by the ancestor of my Ye Family. As for who it is, I hope this junior cannot reveal it for the time being. When the time is right, this junior will naturally tell you."
Ye Wenyan was stunned. "You said that oneness of heaven and man was also created by the ancestor of my Ye Family?"
"Correct."
Hearing Lu Xuan's affirmation, Ye Wenyan was immediately overjoyed. He laughed and said, "It seems that my Ye Family is indeed the number one swordsmanship family. Since it is not convenient for you to tell me now, I will not ask anymore. As long as it is the sword technique of my Ye Family, then it is fine."
At Ye Wenyan's level, he no longer cared about himself, but the inheritance of the Ye Family. He had originally thought that there was someone else apart from the Ye Family who could create such a supreme technique, which was why he had been worried. Now that he knew that oneness of heaven and man was also created by the Ye Family, he no longer had any worries. However, he did not know that oneness of heaven and man was created by his ancestor, Ye Tian. Moreover, he had created it when he had reached the Immortal Realm. Before reaching a sufficient realm, Lu Xuan would not be able to unleash the true power of oneness of heaven and man. Back then, Ye Tian had relied on the Heaven Sword and the Heaven Sword Nine Layers to fight against the Soul Race and other peak races of the Heaven Realm, protecting the human race and allowing them to thrive.
