At the fifth test, Ling Xian grinned, "Can't you teach me everything?"
"If you ask me to be your Master, then I will teach you everything I know."
The elder looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "But, are you willing to ask me to be your Master?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head.
This disappointed the elder, "Since you don't want me to be your Master, then don't be greedy."
"Then I choose the first move." Ling Xian smiled.
"My nine moves are not connected and each move is stronger than the last. Why don't you learn the ninth move?" The elder stared at Ling Xian.
"Without a beginning, where would there be an end?"
Ling Xian grinned, "Even if they are not connected, I still want to learn the first move."
"Without a beginning, where would there be an end?"
"I didn't lie to you. These nine moves are not connected and each move is stronger than the last."
"But the first move is my starting point. It has infinite possibilities. With your enlightenment abilities, you might be able to walk a path that surpasses mine."
The elder clapped his hands and laughed, not hiding his admiration at all.
In terms of power, the first move was not as powerful as the ninth move. But in terms of potential, the first move was far stronger than the ninth.
Therefore, Ling Xian's choice was correct and it matched the elder's intentions.
"You are flattering me. You have reached the peak of swordsmanship. How can I surpass you?" Ling Xian grinned. "The path of the sword is limitless. Even the Immortals of Swords cannot claim they have reached the peak."
The elder shook his head and his expression turned serious, "Okay, empty your mind. I will teach you the first move."
Then, he pointed between Ling Xian's brows and taught him the first move.
After some time, the elder retracted his finger. Ling Xian did not open his eyes.
He stood there like a statue, unmoving. It was obvious that he was enlightening himself.
"With your shocking enlightenment abilities, I wonder how long it will take for you to understand my first move."
The elder stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.
Time passed by little by little. Three days later, Ling Xian opened his eyes. Two rays of light howled out and shattered the void.
Just like the legendary Sword of Slaying, it split open the sky and split open the earth.
"Three days!"
The Elder of Nine Abandonments was shocked. Even though he already knew that Ling Xian's enlightenment ability was extremely high, he was still surprised.
"It's been three days …"
Ling Xian murmured. His entire being was like an unsheathed sword. His sharpness was out of the world and his light could freeze the nine heavens.
"I've accepted two disciples in my life, and both of them have shocking comprehension abilities. Take Little Fan for example, she spent five days to comprehend the first sword art."
"In my opinion, this is already outstanding. I didn't expect your comprehension to be even better than hers."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments looked at Ling Xian and smiled, "How is my sword technique?"
"Very strong."
Ling Xian faintly smiled. The sharpness in his eyes disappeared, making him look like an ordinary mortal.
Rather than calling it a sword technique, it would be better to call it a sword intent, a sword intent of wind.
It didn't have any moves, but it could turn wind into a sword, which was equivalent to a supreme divine ability!
Therefore, Ling Xian was very satisfied and felt like this trip was unnecessary.
"This first sword technique, I named it the First Sword. You can call it the wind."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "This is the starting point of my path. Even though it isn't as strong as the later ones, it has infinite possibilities."
"If I'm not mistaken, senior's Sword Dao should be one that pursues extreme speed, right?"
Ling Xian faintly smiled. Having guessed the Elder of Nine Abandonments' path, he also had his own direction.
"Smart."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments nodded, "What I pursue is extreme speed. I won't lie to you, my ninth sword technique already involves time."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's entire body shook. Even though he already knew the Elder of Nine Abandonments was talented, his heart was still in turmoil.
Remember that time is the most mysterious force. No matter what technique, as long as it is related to time, then it is extraordinarily powerful!
"It is no wonder you are the strongest swordsman in the City of Holiness. You sure are powerful."
Ling Xian complimented from the bottom of his heart.
"I am merely at the beginning stages of time. I have yet to perfect it."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments sighed, "I will never be able to perfect it in my lifetime. That sword technique belongs to immortals, it does not belong to humanity."
"It does not belong to humanity …"
Ling Xian frowned and comforted, "Nothing is absolute in this world. I believe with your talent, it is not impossible."
"I hope so. I hope this sword will not become my regret."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments sighed, "Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. Now that you've learned the First Sword, do you have a direction?"
"I do. Your direction is extreme speed. My direction is to use everything as a sword."
Ling Xian softly grinned. The wind can be a sword, the rain can be a sword. Everything in the world can be a sword.
"Not a bad direction. However, it is much harder than extreme speed."
"Throughout the history of swordsmen, 99 percent of them pursue the highest state of being a sword. But those who actually achieve it are few and far between."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments looked at Ling Xian in a serious manner and said in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to walk this difficult path?"
"I am merely trying. It would be great if I succeed, but it doesn't matter if I don't."
"My goal is to be undefeatable. I don't have to rely on the undefeatable sword."
Ling Xian's lips curled into a smile. He had already embarked on the path of the Inner World and the Undying Soul, why would he back down from using everything as a sword?
Plus, it wasn't like he had to use everything as a sword. He was merely trying.
"That's true."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments grinned, "I hope you can use everything as a sword and become undefeatable."
"I also hope you can achieve your goal. Using your human body, you can create the Sword of Immortals." Ling Xian's expression was serious and sincere.
"Haha, thank you for your kind words."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments laughed. His murky eyes dimmed a little.
Between humans and immortals, there was a gap that was difficult to cross. To use the human body to display the Sword of Immortals was without a doubt, as difficult as climbing up to the sky.
"Okay, I will take you away from here."
Noticing the elder's dimness, Ling Xian changed the topic. He waved his hand and spiritual paper appeared, shining with runes.
Instantly, a demigod talisman formed and erased the talisman on the elder's left.
Then, Ling Xian continued to wave his hand. After a few breaths, he drew out four demigod talismans that were identical to the rest of the talismans.
In the next second, the four talismans before the Elder of Nine Abandonments disappeared, meaning he could leave at any time.
"It is no wonder he is a grandmaster. He sure is extraordinary."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments exclaimed and revealed some jealousy.
"It won't be long before you become a grandmaster as well."
Ling Xian warmly smiled, "Let's go. It's time to leave."
"Haha, let's go!"
The Elder of Nine Abandonments laughed. Then, he began to move and headed towards the door.
Ling Xian did the same.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he heard a series of exclamations. Then, he and the Elder of Nine Abandonments were surrounded.
"He's out! Elder Nine Abandonments is out! "
"He truly has the demeanor of an immortal, unparalleled and extraordinary."
"Of course. Elder Nine Abandonments is not only one of the most powerful people in the City of Holiness, but he is also the second grandmaster. Of course he is extraordinary."
Everyone discussed and stared at the Elder of Nine Swords with passion. As for Ling Xian, who was standing next to him, everyone naturally ignored him.
