Jiang Chengzi, who mocked Xiao Chen earlier, had an extremely unsightly expression on his pale face. He had not expected such a scene to occur.
"Flawless, flawless. My heart is higher than the sky. I want to create this perfect and flawless saber Dao. However, I have my doubts. Is there really something flawless in the world? The moon is flawless, but the moon waxes and wanes, the four seasons are flawless. However, in the extreme north and south, half the year is extreme day and half the year is extreme night. There are always two seasons missing.
"I have my doubts as well. I use my body as a saber and my thoughts as a saber. However, where should the saber in my hand be? Where should the saber in my heart be …"
Xiao Chen spoke very sincerely. The first half was about his attainments, and the second half was about his inadequacies and doubts.
Xiao Chen spoke continuously, not stopping at all. He spoke in one go. After he finished speaking, everyone was stunned. After he finished speaking, he felt strangely delighted. Many of his doubts seemed to be stirred up, and he vaguely saw a ray of hope.
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the various mysterious phenomena that appeared as he spoke vanished one by one.
Just as everyone was savoring the aftertaste and savoring it, the ancient Saber Sovereign image sitting on the stone pillar did not slowly disappear like before. Instead, it spoke shockingly.
"I have a Dao that I wish to discuss with everyone. It is called the Massacre Saber Dao. The saber is a weapon of slaughter. It is born to kill. Naturally, it should kill all life, destroy everything, exterminate everything …
"I have a Dao that I wish to discuss with everyone. It is called the Heaven Mending Saber Dao. The Heavenly Dao is hard to find, and the Heavenly Saber is hard to find …
"I have a Dao that I wish to discuss with everyone. It is called the Death Saber Dao. Everything is born to die. We bladesmen go against the heavens, seeking life in death …
"I have a Dao that I wish to discuss with everyone. It is called the Thunder Saber Dao. Thunder is the hand of the Heavenly Dao, a calamity of the heavens …"
…
The vast sagely sound merged together, layering over each other and reverberating in the world. This sound that transcended time and space enveloped the entire Heavenly Cauldron City.
When the ancient appeared and spoke, seven-colored heavenly flowers descended for fifty kilometers around.
All the bladesmen in Heavenly Cauldron City were stunned. Under the encirclement of this holy music, spiritual sounds rang out in their minds. After they reacted, they all sat down cross-legged and started to carefully comprehend the Saber Dao in their hearts.
None of the spectators had anticipated that something like this would happen. In just a short moment, the faces of the young outstanding talents flickered, and they quickly sat down cross-legged. Without saying anything, they all began to contemplate.
The reason why the Ancient Sage spoke was not because the Ancient Sage had come back to life but because of Xiao Chen. The images of the speeches of the Ancient Sages had transcended the distance of time and appeared in the present.
This was a rare opportunity. If he lost it, it would be impossible to find it again.
The experience of the ancient Saber Sovereigns was very precious. Eighteen ancient Saber Sovereigns all giving lectures at the same time. Such a scene was unprecedented, something that had never happened before.
However, how much he could hear would depend on his own talent and comprehension. When the voices of the eighteen ancient Saber Sovereigns overlapped, it would not be easy to distinguish them.
--- Inside the Heavenly Cauldron City's City Lord's Residence, Bai Lang's father, the Blue Robed Emperor, looked at the seven-colored heavenly flowers falling from the sky. The holy music resounded endlessly in his ears. This person, who was only one step away from becoming Emperor Wu, could not help changing his expression.
The vast voices layered over each other, spreading throughout the entire Heavenly Cauldron City for four hours. The appearance of the ancient Saber Sovereign and the speech of the Saber Sovereign slowly faded away, and the world regained its calm.
However, the cultivators of Heavenly Cauldron City could not calm down for a long time.
After this day, the status of Heavenly Cauldron City among the Profound Domain's bladesmen soared. It even vaguely equaled the top holy land for bladesmen, Heavenly Saber City, which the Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian governed.
Under the eighteen stone pillars in the center of the plaza, Bai Lang and the others slowly opened their eyes.
As the outstanding talents of the younger generation, they had received the Ancient Sage's speech at close range. The comprehension they gained was much greater than that of ordinary people. Everyone gained something, and their faces filled with satisfaction.
Xiao Chen was the last to open his eyes. He had absorbed a vast amount of divine liquid in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, and his comprehension ability was startling.
Xiao Chen had memorized the eighteen different Saber Sovereigns' Saber Dao in his heart, not missing a single word. When he returned, he could immediately write it down. It would be a valuable asset.
No one here had Xiao Chen's talent. Even Bai Lang only memorized five different Saber Dao Techniques, and that was already far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Whoosh!"
"This cup of tea is a toast to you, a formal apology to Brother Xiao. This Bai had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, causing the world to mock me. I hope Brother Xiao will forgive me. "
Bai Lang opened his eyes and personally poured a cup of tea. Then, he flew it over to Xiao Chen.
After seeing Xiao Chen's attainments in the Saber Dao, Bai Lang immediately picked up the tea and apologized, not putting on any airs at all.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and spoke, causing the eighteen ancient Saber Sovereigns to appear. The holy music transcended time and space, arriving at Heavenly Cauldron City at the same time. If this was not considered a bladesman, then there really were no bladesmen in the world.
The crowd did not show any disdain or mockery for Bai Lang's apology.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and caught the teacup. After taking a sip, he placed it on the table and said, "It's fine. Brother Bai is a true bladesman. I can understand your thoughts."
Bai Lang nodded slightly without anyone noticing. Then, he continued, "The Flawless saber Dao is indeed unique. It makes everyone's eyes light up. It is unprecedented, without any falsehood. When I heard your doubts in the second half of your speech, I have some insights that I would like to discuss with Brother Xiao. "
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, "Feel free to speak your mind. Fellow Daoists, if you have any opinions, I hope you can speak your mind freely.
"The second half of your speech focused on a few questions. I will talk about the first one. Using the body as a saber and my thoughts as a saber. How should the saber in my hand be used?"
Bai Lang paused for a moment, as though he was weighing his words. Then, he continued, "I feel that this question is a little excessive. For us bladesmen, the saber is a part of the body. There is an ancient saying, 'As long as the saber exists, the person exists.' If the saber dies, the person dies. "
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up as he entered deep thought. Using the body as a saber, hair as a saber, clothes as a saber? However, why could one not use a saber as a saber? However, a saber was a saber in the first place. Because of this, he had gotten himself into trouble.
Seeing the saber as something like hair or clothes, how should the saber in my hand be used? This question was solved without even needing to be addressed.
The Inferno Saber Sovereign's disciple, Lin Yan, smiled and said, "I also have some views on the Flawless Saber Dao. It does not have to be flawless for it to be perfect. There is no such thing as flawless in the world. However, that does not mean that there is nothing perfect. Perfection does not mean that there are no flaws.
"For example, Brother Xiao, I felt that the bright moon earlier was the perfect moon. When it is perfect, it is naturally flawless."
There had never been such a Saber Dao in the world before. Even the Saber Daos of the eighteen ancient Saber Sovereigns, which were all-encompassing, did not touch the Flawless Saber Dao.
Being able to participate in this discussion of the Saber Dao gave Xiao Chen the feeling of making history. He could foresee that once the Flawless Saber Dao reached the peak, its name would go down in history, leaving behind a thick stroke in the Martial Epoch.
All the bladesmen present were very excited, speaking up enthusiastically. Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, at the very least, they opened up a path for Xiao Chen. From the point of view of others, he could see something different.
Finally, after this topic ended, Bai Lang put down his teacup and gently patted the table. The treasure saber at the side, along with its scabbard, sank one centimeter into the high platform with a clang. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
The others all followed suit, stabbing their own treasured sabers into the stone platform. Immediately, saber Qi surged and buzzed. A strong saber intent lingered in the place.
Xiao Chen understood that this was the second part of the tea party. Making friends with the saber was also the highlight of the tea party.
After all, no matter how good the words were, the effects would only be seen when they fought.
With a slight movement, the Lunar Shadow Saber also stabbed into the high platform with its scabbard.
"Feng Xingsheng, I have long heard of your great name. Will you give me some pointers?"
After everyone stabbed their sabers into the high platform, a tall, skinny man in long robes challenged Feng Xingsheng to a duel.
Feng Xingsheng smiled faintly and said, "I can't say that I am giving you pointers. Just exchanging pointers will suffice."
"Whoosh!"
The two soared into the air at the same time. Then, they stretched out their hands, and two strands of saber light flickered. Their treasured sabers hummed as they drew their scabbards. Then, the two of them started exchanging moves in the air.
When the people below looked up slightly, they could clearly see the fight. Occasionally, they discussed it with their friends.
The two's fight was remarkable. However, Feng Xingsheng was clearly stronger. He was very clear on his talent. He only needed one point of the Wind Saber Dao to make a breakthrough and comprehend, which was the endless gentle breeze.
Amid the lingering gentle breeze, saber intent was everywhere. Amid the gentleness, there was killing intent everywhere.
After another two hundred moves, their opponents took the initiative to admit defeat. The two sheathed their sabers, bowed, and returned to their seats.
After that, the tea party slowly reached its climax. Bladesmen from all over made a dazzling appearance. Xiao Chen watched all of them. The ones that left the deepest impression on him were the disciples of the Inferno Saber Sovereign and the Thunder Saber Sovereign, Lin Yan and Dugu Jue.
A few people challenged the two. However, the two defeated them within a hundred moves.
The Thunder Dao and the Raging Flame Dao were brought out to their limits in the two's sabers. Surging flames erupted like volcanoes. When the sabers chopped down, red flaming clouds filled the sky for five kilometers around, looking startling.
Naturally, the one that caught Xiao Chen's attention was the Thunder Saber Sovereign's descendant, Dugu Jue. Xiao Chen's Quintessence was lightning-attributed in the first place. The will that he comprehended was also the will of thunder. Of course, he wanted to compete with this person.
Dugu Jue's Saber Technique made Xiao Chen's eyes light up. The Thunder Saber Technique that the other party comprehended could be described with two words: speed and explosive power.
People often used lightning to describe it. When a person's speed reached its limits, their saber would also reach its limits. However, it would be a huge mistake to think that speed was all there was to it. The instantaneous explosive power was similarly horrifying, shaking the entire Heavenly Cauldron Plaza intensely.
The power of lightning was not limited to speed and explosive power. Xiao Chen had experienced lightning tribulations, enduring the baptism of thousands of lightning bolts.
However, the other party probably understood this principle. After all, he had a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor to teach him. He understood the principle of biting off more than he could chew. Hence, he brought out these two characteristics to their limits.
Xiao Chen could not help comparing this person to An Junxi. If the two fought, it would be very exciting.
"Xiao Chen, your eloquence leaves others speechless. However, I do not know how many true moves you have. I, Jiang Chengzi, would like to exchange a few moves with you. "
