"Successor!"
Tsing Hui raised his head and looked at Hidden Sword Venerable.
The Hidden Sword Venerable looked at Qing Xu at this moment. There was a sliver of gratification from making friends with 'the same kind' in his eyes, as well as a sliver of anticipation for his future. "My current accomplishments are already the limit. I'm too old, and I've been affected too deeply by my supreme bloodline. If I make a breakthrough as I strengthen my sword and reach Sainthood, I can't guarantee that my sword intent will still be able to suppress my abilities, body, and soul after I understand how powerful Sainthood experts are. I can't guarantee that my sword intent will still be able to suppress my abilities, body, and soul after I understand how powerful Sainthood experts are. I can't guarantee that I'll give up on the Way of the Sword and cultivate my bloodline again. However, you're different … You're very young, very young … Youth means unparalleled malleability. In particular, your sword intent gives you a unique advantage when it comes to refining your bloodline and abilities … As a result, as long as you persist, you'll be able to surpass me one day and truly stand at the peak of the world, announcing to the world that I'm the supreme way of the sword! If that day comes, I, Hidden Sword Venerable, will die with no regrets! "
Giving up all means in exchange for an extremely powerful attack.
The ultimate sword!
Tsing Hui's mind was filled with thoughts.
The ultimate sword's advantage was obvious!
A Lifebound Sword born from a Transcendent Realm cultivation was already enough to make him invincible in the Saint Realm in terms of offense. If the energy within the Lifebound Sword reached the level of Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, it could even slay Saints!
No!
Tsing Hui's foundation was stronger than Hidden Sword Venerable's. If he used a divine ability or even a supreme divine ability to nurture his sword, the pure power of his attack would be even stronger. He would be able to threaten Saints the moment his divine ability was formed. If he used a supreme divine ability to nurture his sword, it would be possible for it to have the power to kill Gods.
But the disadvantages were also obvious.
There were no transformations, no additional techniques, and their defenses were so weak that they could be threatened by cultivators in the Golden Core realm or below. Once they were hit by the divine ability of a Transcendent realm expert, they would die if they were hit, and be injured if they were touched.
But …
These disadvantages were not unavoidable.
Immortal body, backtracking …
This was a unique advantage that he had gained by borrowing the power of the Chaos Temple. Even Hidden Sword Venerable was no match for him.
Therefore, compared to Hidden Sword Venerable, he was more suitable for the Ultimate Sword Principle.
Besides …
Tsing Hui thought of the Way of the Sword and the Way of the Bloodline. Between the two, he clearly preferred the former.
If the way of the sword was his life's dream, then previously, it was because the dream had to be built on the foundation of reality. Without the economic foundation to survive, how could he give up everything to pursue his dream?
And now …
The Ultimate Sword Dao was equivalent to giving him a sufficient financial foundation to pursue his dreams. If he still chose to put down the sword in his hand under such circumstances …
"How can I cultivate Hidden Sword Venerable's ultimate sword dao?"
Tsing Hui said solemnly.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you!" Hidden Sword Venerable said with a smile.
Qing Xu took three steps back before standing before the Hidden Sword Venerable. He bowed towards the Hidden Sword Venerable seriously, "Please teach me, Hidden Sword Venerable."
"Alright!"
There were no conditions, and there was no hesitation.
Hidden Sword Venerable agreed without hesitation.
In the next moment, his eyes lit up. A powerful sword essence that contained endless information shot out from his spiritual world and rushed into Tsing Hui's spiritual world. Then, it exploded in Tsing Hui's spiritual world. It carried with it a vast amount of information and countless mysteries that bloomed in his spiritual world.
Tsing Hui did not hesitate when he received the information. He immediately closed his eyes and focused on comprehending the sword essence.
Hidden Sword Venerable was comforted when he saw that Lin Huang had absolute trust in him.
However, what Hidden Sword Venerable did not know was that Tsing Hui did not guard against him. Instead, it was that …
He was still in the Backtrack Skill and was not afraid of death.
It took Tsing Hui an entire day to digest the information that Hidden Sword Venerable had given him.
Not only did the information include the conversion method for the Ultimate Way of the Sword, but it also included the various experiences the Hidden Sword Venerable had gone through in the past sixty years. The Hidden Sword Venerable had passed everything to Qing Xu without holding anything back.
These experiences were invaluable to him. They would allow him to take a lot of detours.
After digesting the information, Tsing Hui opened his eyes again and bowed to Hidden Sword Venerable, "Thank you, Hidden Sword Venerable."
"It's a pity that I'm old. This is the end of my life. I don't think I'll be able to live for long if I convert to the Ultimate Sword Dao. Otherwise, I'd be able to teach you more things in the future … Hundred Swords Chant … This is the first time we've seen such a genius in the Sword Dao since the Hidden Sword Sect was founded. I really want to know what kind of achievements such a genius in the Sword Dao will have."
"I'm sure Hidden Sword Venerable will be able to see it."
"Haha, thank you for your kind words."
Hidden Sword Venerable said as he looked at Tsing Hui, "Because you've comprehended the pure sword essence, your original sword essence has collapsed, right? In order to not affect the Divine Beast bloodline that you cultivate, you should quickly choose your Natal Divine Sword and refine all of this power into your Natal Divine Sword. "
"Natal Holy Sword …"
Tsing Hui nodded.
In the cultivation of extreme sword dao, sword intent was the most important, but the natal divine swords used to carry the Gold Crow divine body, Torch Dragon divine body, Gold Crow divine soul, and Torch Dragon divine soul were equally important. If the natal divine swords were not strong enough to carry enough power, he would have to spend a lot of energy to refine them, so as to prevent them from limiting the power of the Gold Crow and Torch Dragon bloodlines.
"I have a variety of materials I prepared when I changed my cultivation all those years ago, and it includes some materials to refine swords. You can take them if you need them. Besides that, you ought to understand that when you fuse the bloodline of a Divine Beast into your Origin Sword, the more peaceful the bloodline of the Divine Beast is, the easier it is to fuse it, and vice versa. Amongst the various stages of cultivation in the Saint Realm, the Golden Core Realm is the most peaceful! In this realm, the power of the Golden Core Realm is as harmonious as one and is prepared for the creation of Divine Powers. If you can refine your Natal Holy Sword as a Golden Core Realm cultivator, it will be much easier for you. "
"Golden Core Realm …"
Tsing Hui shook his head when he heard this. "Too many resources are needed to form a Golden Core … Even an inferior-grade Golden Core requires a lot of resources, especially since I have a divine-grade battle body and divine-grade Vital Essence. Once I form a Golden Core, it will be a superior-grade Golden Core. Correspondingly, I will need a lot of resources to form an inferior-grade or superior-grade Golden Core."
"Resources …?"
Hidden Sword Venerable said with a faint smile. "The Hidden Sword Sect has ruled the Hidden Sword Continent for thousands of years. Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of resources. In addition, 100 years ago, I planned to use my second Golden Core to carry my Natal Holy Sword, so I deliberately collected resources to refine my Golden Core. Unfortunately, I later found out that the method to carry my Natal Holy Sword with my second Golden Core was not usable, so I collected all these resources. Although these resources are not much, they are enough for you to form a superior-grade Golden Core."
Tsing Hui was slightly stunned by Hidden Sword Venerable's words.
The Hidden Sword Sect was the supreme overlord of the Hidden Sword Continent. The entire Hidden Sword Continent was dominated by the Hidden Sword Sect. As the strongest member of the Hidden Sword Sect, if the Hidden Sword Venerable wanted to collect resources, the power that he could use was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to. Although it was difficult to accumulate resources for hundreds of years to condense a high grade Golden Core, it was still barely possible.
However …
Tsing Hui had inherited Hidden Sword Venerable's Ultimate Sword Art. If he took these resources …
He would not be able to accept them.
Hidden Sword Venerable seemed to understand Tsing Hui's thoughts. He pondered for a while and said, "These resources were gathered by the Hidden Sword Sect after hundreds of years of hard work. If I just gave them to you, even as the founder of the Hidden Sword Sect, I would feel sorry for the disciples of the Hidden Sword Sect. How about this, I hope that you can become the Supreme Elder of the Hidden Sword Sect. When you have enough power, you will be able to protect the Hidden Sword Sect. Also, in the next 100 years, you will need to take in a disciple and teach him."
"As the Supreme Elder of the Hidden Sword Sect …"
Tsing Hui looked at Hidden Sword Venerable and said, "I don't think I will be staying in the Hidden Sword Sect for long in the future."
"I understand. I just hope that when the Hidden Sword Sect is in trouble and asks you for help, you will help the Hidden Sword Sect."
"I promise!"
Tsing Hui agreed. At the same time, he was confused. "Hidden Sword Venerable, you are about to switch to the Way of the Sword. When that time comes, you will be strong enough to dominate the Saint Realm. With your power, you will be able to protect the Hidden Sword Sect. Why …"
Hidden Sword Venerable shook his head. "If I can cultivate my Natal Spiritual Sword in three to five years and fuse it with my cultivation, I will be able to improve greatly. But …"
The Hidden Sword Venerable's voice turned gloomy. "I'm too old … I'm two thousand eight hundred years old now. I've been through countless battles in my life. If I still had my Golden Core, I would've been able to survive for another one or two hundred years. But now … I've already infused all of my cultivation into my Natal Divine Sword. The only reason I'm still alive is because of the medicine I took earlier. But this won't last for too long … Forty years, thirty years, twenty years … I don't know … I have to leave a way out for the Hidden Sword Sect … At the same time, I have to settle some grudges."
"…"
Tsing Hui looked at Hidden Sword Venerable. It was the first time he saw a cultivator facing the fate of dying of old age.
At that moment, he did not know how to answer.
"Life and death is a constant. I have lived for so many years, I have seen through it."
The Hidden Sword Venerable looked at Qing Xu and smiled faintly, "Your sword intent is very pure. If you want to maintain this purity, you need to have a clear mind. As a result, I'm not afraid of you going back on your word. Otherwise, your promise today will become a demon in your future, a shackle that will stop you from attaining great achievement in the Way of the Sword. To be honest, I'm lucky to have met a cultivator with pure sword intent like you in my limited time left. It'll truly allow me to pass on my Way of the Sword and the Hidden Sword sect without worry."
Qing Xu met the Hidden Sword venerable's gentle gaze. Even though he knew what the Hidden Sword venerable was scheming, he did not resent him at all. Instead, he promised seriously, "Don't worry, Hidden Sword venerable. Unless I die, I'll definitely do everything I can to assist the Hidden Sword venerable the moment I receive news that you're in trouble."
"I trust you."
Hidden Sword Venerable nodded solemnly.
Most of the time, when one understood the other party's Sword Will and knew what kind of person they were, one would be able to trust them unconditionally.
For a swordsman, it was that simple.
"Come with me. I hope that the resources I have accumulated will be enough for you to form your Golden Core."
