Xiatian was the peerless genius that the Nine Gates Ten Elder was talking about.
Previously, the Nine Gates Ten Elder was forced by his martial nephews to accept him as a disciple. They were worried that he would be too bored by himself, so they wanted to find him a companion. He was annoyed to the point that he had no choice but to accept.
But now, he felt that this disciple of his was too worth it.
He didn't think that he would actually meet a genius with 999 sword intent.
"Kid, you have a domain right? And your domain isn't a normal one, it's a growth type domain!!" The Nine Gates Ten Elder said excitedly.
"Yes!!" Xiatian didn't deny it. Since he had been seen through, there was no point in hiding it.
Moreover, he didn't feel any malicious intent from the Nine Gates Ten Elder.
"Hahahaha, as expected, as expected!!" The Nine Gates Ten Elder couldn't stop laughing.
Xiatian was already stunned by his laughter. It was true that he had a domain, but until now, he had only comprehended Ten Thousand Swords.
He didn't have any other special abilities.
Moreover, Ten Thousand Swords wasn't very powerful.
It could be said that it was just a face-saving skill.
"Kid, you definitely don't understand why I'm so excited, right? Alright, I'll tell you then." The Nine Gates Ten Elder's face was full of smiles. "Those who have comprehended 90 sword intent and above are called geniuses, and are specially recruited by our Hongjian Sect. Those who have comprehended 95 sword intent and above can join a sect, and in that sect, there will be someone who understands a domain. Some of the others have also successfully comprehended a domain under the guidance of the Elder of Imparting Arts. Some of them have never been able to, so they can only cultivate fake domains. Although the power of a fake domain is very strong, the gap between them and a real domain expert will grow bigger and bigger. When they join a sect, the gap isn't that big, but once one of them has a domain, that person will be further and further away from the rest."
"Yes!!" Xiatian nodded silently.
The other thing that surprised him was that the Hongjian Sect actually had a way to cultivate domains, and they even had fake domains to learn.
"But that's not the most important thing. Sword intent is a domain. When sword intent reaches 100, a fake domain will appear. When sword intent reaches 101, a domain will appear. Although it's only a little bit of sword intent, it's definitely heaven and earth. Now you understand what it means to have 999 sword intent!!!" The Nine Gates Ten Elder smiled at Xiatian.
"I seem to understand a little." Xiatian seemed to understand that his 999 number was indeed much scarier than 101 number.
"Hahahaha, this is just the beginning. Your Sword Essence Comprehension is 999, but that doesn't mean that you're stronger than others right now. Instead, it means that you have more room for growth in the future. How much can a person with a Sword Essence Comprehension of 101 reach in their lifetime? According to my experience, it's usually around 150. Even the Sect Leader's sword intent is only 500. Compared to you, it's like a child's play. In a few years, I will let you surpass that old man and become the number one swordsman in the Nine States, and even the number one swordsman in the Three Middle Realms. "The Nine Gates Ten Elder became more excited as he spoke.
At this moment, Xiatian finally understood what the number 999 represented.
It represented his future talent.
His room for growth.
"Is that really okay? But why is my sword intent so weak? "Xiatian Asked puzzledly.
"Idiot, that's because you've never practiced a proper sword technique, and you don't have a master to guide you. That's why you're trying to cross the river by feeling your way. A person like you might succeed in the future, but at the same time, you will also take a lot of detours. But now, with me, you won't have to take detours anymore." The Nine Gates' Tenth Elder lectured.
"Oh!!" Xiatian nodded.
He had indeed taken a lot of detours over the years.
Everything was done by himself, without anyone's help, and without anyone's guidance.
That was why his domain was so weak.
"The more I think about it, the happier I am. Boy, did the sect give you the Soaring Cloud Sword Technique?" Asked the Nine Gates Ten Elder.
"Yes." Xiatian directly took out the Soaring Cloud Sword Technique.
The Nine Gate's Tenth Elder took the sword and threw it out, "Go f * ck yourself. This thing can only help you cultivate a fake domain. It's very useful for others, but it's completely useless for you. From now on, you will learn my Hong Clan's Yin Technique."
"Hong Family's Yin Technique?" Xiatian looked at the Nine Gates Ten Elder in confusion.
He didn't understand what level of sword technique it was.
"Boy, this is a level 8 sword technique, something good you will never come across in your lifetime. What I have is the Hong Family's Yin Technique, and the Sect Leader has the Hong Family's Yang Technique. I digress, take this, it is the Hong Family's Yin Technique." The Nine Gates Ten Elder directly threw a jade slip to Xiatian. He seemed to have something he didn't want to tell Xiatian.
"Thank you, Master!" Xiatian said. He naturally wouldn't ask more.
"Boy, you better hold it well. There is only one copy of this thing. If you lose it, it will disappear completely. There is no copy." The Nine Gates Ten Elder reminded.
"Don't worry, Master. As long as I am here, the sword technique will be here!" Xiatian promised.
"Good boy. Originally, I wouldn't easily accept a disciple, but after seeing your talent, I couldn't help it. However, you must remember this. I value character the most. If one day, I find that there is a problem with your character or you do something that deceives your master, then I will personally kill you," said the Nine Gates Tenth Elder.
"Yes, Master!" Xiatian valued loyalty and gratitude the most in his life.
What the Nine Gates' Ten Elders said was absolutely impossible for him to do.
"By the way, don't tell anyone about my true identity. Especially don't let anyone in the sect know that you've become my disciple, especially the sect master. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome." The elders of the nine sects seemed to have something they didn't want others to know.
"Yes, Master!" Xiatian said again.
"Alright, boy, the Hong Family's Yin Technique is divided into nine levels. The first level is the beginner level. You better cultivate well. Within seven days, you must master the first level, or else I will beat you until you vomit blood." The Nine Gates Ten Elder threatened.
Gasp!
Xiatian was really stunned by his master. This should be the so-called strict teacher produces a fine student.
He didn't think too much about it and directly sat on the ground to cultivate.
