"Hehe, Big Brother Master, are you feeling better? Where are we going to play later? You haven't been with me for a long time … Last time, you left behind that young lady called Qiqi and left, not caring if I would be jealous or not. Hmph … "Yan Gongruo swayed Ye Wuchen's body and pouted her lips coquettishly.
Ye Wuchen patted the back of her hand and said to Chu Jingtian, "Big Brother Chu, although I could tell that you had made shocking progress, I didn't think that your mastery of the Way of the Sword had reached such a high level. It really surprised me."
"Hehe, it's okay. Practicing the sword and practicing martial arts are different. Even when I'm sleeping, I can feel myself practicing my swordsmanship. "Chu Jingtian said casually with a smile on his face.
When I sleep … These five words entered Ye Wuchen's mind and made his eyebrows twitch.
"Did Grandpa Chu tell you what the highest level of the Way of the Sword is?" Ye Wuchen raised his head and suddenly asked. Chu Jingtian's question made the people of the Yan family pay attention to it. They all listened attentively to Chu Jingtian's answer.
"The highest level of the Way of the Sword … I know this. When I was very young, my grandfather often told me that the highest level of the Way of the Sword is None." Chu Jingtian didn't think for long and immediately answered.
"None? Is it the Finger of None? "
"That's right, it's None!"
Ye Wuchen thought for a moment and frowned. "Big Brother Chu, since the ultimate level of the Way of the Sword is None, why do you still practice the sword? Can't we just start with 'Nothing'? "
Chu Jingtian was stunned, and his expression immediately froze. "Ah? This … this … "
Since you pursue None, why practice the sword? Ye Wuchen's simple words made him realize that the Way of the Sword, which he had always pursued, was actually so contradictory.
"But grandpa said it. It can't be wrong," Chu Jingtian said hesitantly.
"Did Grandpa Chu achieve it?" Ye Wuchen sighed.
"No …"
"Did Grandpa Chu ever tell you that anyone has reached this so-called 'nothingness' state?"
"Well … not really. My grandfather said that no matter what it is, when it reaches its limit, it will be nothing. It's the same with the way of the sword," Chu Jingtian said anxiously.
Ye Wuchen shook his head slightly and said, "Just like what I said earlier, what you hear might not be true. Although Grandpa Chu was the Sword God, he couldn't always be right. Perhaps the path of 'nothingness' of the sword doesn't exist. It's just a figment of the imagination of swordsmen and has been passed down to this day. "
The sword was Chu Jingtian's best companion, and the path of 'nothingness' of the sword was his and his grandfather's ultimate goal and pursuit. Now that it had been overturned by Ye Wuchen with a few words, Chu Jingtian immediately felt lost, as if he had lost his goal and direction. He didn't want to believe it, but a voice in the depths of his heart told him, Old Brother Ye might be right. His sword dao had advanced rapidly because his heart was tied to the Azure Sea Sword. If there really was a path of 'nothingness', it meant that he would have to abandon the Azure Sea Sword … how could he accept this?
"Then … if grandpa is wrong, what is the highest realm of the sword dao?" Chu Jingtian said in a daze.
Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and tried to capture the fragments of memories that had awakened at some point in time. "When I was very young, I knew a person. He was like big brother Chu, infatuated with the way of the sword, and also infatuated with the sword. Later on, when he was about your age, he reached the peak of the way of the sword that he discovered himself … "
"What was it?" Chu Jingtian's spirits rose and he asked impatiently. Yan Gong and the others were also very curious. Just what kind of extraordinary person could reach the peak of the way of the sword at the same age as Chu Jingtian … why hadn't Master mentioned this before?
"It's the heart." Ye Wuchen opened his eyes and slowly spat out two words.
"Heart?" Chu Jingtian was bewildered when he heard this. Wielding the sword required the hand, controlling the sword required qi. How could there be a connection between the sword and the heart?
"What's the furthest you can control the sword with qi?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"About seventy meters."
"Qi can be infused into the sword and guide it. Then have you ever thought about whether it's possible to infuse your mind and beliefs into the sword? If you can, will you be able to control the sword with your heart? No matter how far your heart is, the sword will be able to go as far as it wants under the guidance of your mind. "
Ye Wuchen did not overdo it. He didn't know anything about the way of the sword. He was only pointing out a correct path for Chu Jingtian based on the scattered memory fragments.
"Heart … using the heart to control the sword …" Chu Jingtian thought seriously and softly repeated these words. Gradually, his voice grew softer and softer, but his eyes became more and more distant.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He abruptly extended his hand and pulled out the Azure Sea Sword on his back. He held it with both hands, the tip of the sword facing up and the hilt below. His eyes were lifeless as he silently watched.
"Hm? What is the big stupid ox doing … Oh, big brother Master, who is that person you speak of? Is he really that powerful? "Yan Gong Ruo asked curiously.
"He's not someone from this world. As for who he is, "Ye Wuchen sighed softly, a hint of melancholy and loneliness appearing in his deep eyes," I really want to know who he is. "
"Ah?" Yan Gong Ruo was confused and became even more curious.
Ye Wuchen turned to Cold Cliffs's icy face and said, "Now, are you at ease?"
Cold Cliffs didn't reply. Ever since he made that choice, he never regretted it. His heart was as firm as stone, and he would continue down this unknown path, so he didn't feel at ease. Although what he had seen and heard today had greatly affected him, even if today hadn't happened, his beliefs would not have changed at all. This was his pride and stubbornness.
Cold Cliffs's silence was within Ye Wuchen's expectations. His eyes had already told him everything. This was a man who wasn't good with words and was proud to the bone. Previously, when he had been knocked off Fallen Dawn Cliff, he had clenched his teeth to prevent himself from fainting even though he had been seriously injured and soaked in water. He had opened his Bloody Demon Eye amidst his hatred and stubbornness. With a sudden burst of power, he had stabbed the Wind Blade into the cliff again and again, all the way back to the top of Fallen Dawn Cliff that was three hundred meters high. He had disregarded everything to take revenge on the person who had defeated him and wanted to destroy him.
His dignity could not be violated.
Ye Wuchen focused his attention on Cold Cliffs's eyes, but didn't see anything strange. No one knew how the Blood Killing Magic Eye had appeared or why it had appeared. They only knew that it should be innate and could clearly affect a person's personality, making them walk down the path of bloodthirst. Their talent and speed of improvement would also be far faster than normal people. When the Bloody Demon Eye opened, it would definitely be the most terrifying moment. Whether it was killing intent, killing intent, aura, or strength, they would all explosively increase when the Bloody Demon Eye was revealed. Moreover, this pair of terrifying bloody eyes would not be withdrawn until it reached its goal.
The secret of this pair of bloody eyes was hard to decipher, but it wasn't the most important. Ye Wuchen didn't intend to investigate further. He could only sigh in admiration. As expected of the Son of the God of War, he was born with a shocking talent bestowed by the heavens. After today's incident spread, the name "Cold Cliffs" would also spread quickly along with the name "Bloody Demon Eye". In the future, there would definitely be fewer and fewer people who would dare to provoke him. Because once he was forced to a certain extent, his resentment and killing intent would accumulate to a certain extent, he would become a berserk demon. That "One Line of Sky" that killed a Heaven Rank expert instantly left an indelible mark in the hearts of all the experts who saw it. Because even if they were to face that unpredictable Void Blade, they wouldn't be able to escape the same ending as the Northern Emperor Sect's Commandment Great Elder.
When he first met Cold Cliffs, he was just a cold and xenophobic youth who didn't understand the complexities of the world. However, he could see that Cold Cliffs was destined to be extraordinary at a glance. Even Long Yin could see that he would definitely be a huge threat in the future, so he wanted to kill him. Now that three years had passed, Cold Cliffs indeed didn't let him down. He even gave him quite a pleasant surprise.
A blue light flashed, and the Azure Sea Sword in Chu Jingtian's hand automatically flew back into the scabbard on his back. Chu Jingtian, who seemed to be in a daze for a long time, turned around. His eyes flickered with a strange light. "Brother Ye, perhaps you're right. I've never comprehended the 'supreme' path that grandfather spoke of. However, I really did feel a little bit of the 'heart' path that you spoke of. Perhaps … even if the heart path isn't the highest realm of the way of the sword, it's still another wondrous realm. "
Under Ye Wuchen's guidance, Chu Jingtian used his own feelings to truly capture the existence of another subtle realm. It wasn't like the so-called supreme path of the legends that he couldn't grasp. The confusion in his heart from losing his goal instantly dissipated, and what replaced it was a joy of seeing the light of day again.
He didn't know that the reason he could feel it so quickly was because his cultivation in the way of the sword had always been accompanied by the sword's heart path that he had unconsciously neglected. This was also the most important reason why he could improve so quickly.
Ye Wuchen nodded with a smile. "Since it's the path of the heart, then you should follow your heart's desires. There's no need to use your heart to comprehend it at any time. Pursuing it too stubbornly will instead go against the path." Ye Wuchen said.
Chu Jingtian nodded excitedly. Now, he was truly in awe of Ye Wuchen. No matter what he said, he would immediately agree. He finally understood why he would feel an inexplicable pressure when he was sitting in a wheelchair. What he saw at the Tianchen Demon Martial Conference made him see Ye Wuchen in a new light. What warmed his heart was that no matter how powerful he was, he still called him "Big Brother Chu" in the same way he used to in the past. There wasn't any sense of alienation. This simple casualness made him feel a sense of warmth.
Ye Wuchen nodded slightly. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. He felt a trace of power from the ground, the air, and every part of his body slowly flowing into his body.
He was the Evil Emperor, and the Evil Emperor was him.
