In the grand hall, with the help of Liu Gongyuan's qi, the medicinal effects constantly seeped into Shen Bai's body, causing Shen Bai, who had been unconscious for nearly a month, to slowly wake up.
The moment Shen Bai saw Liu Gongyuan, he knew where he was. His eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of pain and unwillingness. After a while, he spoke bitterly, "Master, I am sorry. I lost."
Besides apologizing, Shen Bai didn't know what else to say.
He wasn't someone with a weak mental state like Lin Kaiyun, who would be completely disheartened and dispirited after suffering a setback.
Even though his cultivation was crippled, Shen Bai felt more guilt towards the Azure Water Sword Sect and towards his master, Liu Gongyuan.
Liu Gongyuan treated him like his own son and taught him everything. He even placed the entire Azure Water Sword Sect's future on Shen Bai's shoulders.
In the end? After a single battle, Shen Bai was defeated and crippled. He was defeated so miserably. It could be said that the entire Azure Water Sword Sect's future was lost in his hands. How could he not feel guilty?
Even his hatred towards Chu Xiu wasn't as heavy as his current guilt.
Patting Shen Bai's hand, Liu Gongyuan sighed, "There is no need to say sorry. This is all fate, karma. Even I didn't expect Chu Xiu to actually grow to this stage. If the heavens wanted to end my Azure Water Sword Sect, without Chu Xiu, there would still be Zhang Xiu and Wang Xiu. The result would still be the same. "
"But I am unwilling!"
Shen Bai gritted his teeth, "After cultivating for more than ten years, I am just one step away from bringing the Azure Water Sword Sect back to prominence. But now, I am crippled. Master, your efforts are all in vain!"
Shen Bai knew how much the Azure Water Sword Sect paid to nurture him.
Even if the Azure Water Sword Sect found another young martial artist with the same talent as Shen Bai, the Azure Water Sword Sect wouldn't be able to nurture a second Shen Bai.
Because the Azure Water Sword Sect had limited resources, Liu Gongyuan's energy was also limited.
But right at this moment, Liu Gongyuan suddenly said, "You are truly unwilling?"
Shen Bai nodded heavily. No one would be unwilling to accept this kind of thing.
Liu Gongyuan sighed, "There is always a way out. Even if our Azure Water Sword Sect is facing the risk of decline, our ancestors still left us a chance of survival. This chance of survival might not be reliable, and I don't even know if it is real or fake. But apart from it, I have no other way to revitalize the Azure Water Sword Sect. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Shen Bai struggled to stand up, gritted his teeth, and said, "No matter what method it is, this disciple is willing to try!"
Liu Gongyuan sighed again and said, "In that case, come with me."
As he spoke, Liu Gongyuan brought Shen Bai to the back mountain of the Azure Water Sword Sect. Apart from Liu Gongyuan who frequented this place, no one else was allowed to enter.
"Shen Bai, do you remember the legend of my Azure Water Sword Sect?" Liu Gongyuan asked.
Shen Bai nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Legend has it that the Azure Water River was created when two ancient masters fought. One of the masters used a sword to slash it open. Of course, this was only a legend and no one knew if it was true or not.
But the only thing that could be confirmed was that there were indeed sword dao experts who fought here at Cang Lan River. The Cang Lan Sword Sect's founder saw the sword scars left behind by the experts here, which was why he suddenly had an epiphany. His strength improved greatly, and he established the sect here. After thousands of years of development, it became one of the seven sects and eight schools, the Cang Lan Sword Sect.
Liu Gongyuan suddenly said, "What if I say the legend is true? Is this huge Azure Water River really created by a human? "
Shen Bai's eyes revealed a trace of shock, "What? It's true? "
With Shen Bai's current cultivation, he couldn't imagine what it was like to create a river with a single slash. Even a martial dao master like Liu Zongyuan couldn't do this.
To be able to do this, they might not be humans anymore. It would be more appropriate to call them immortals or gods.
Liu Gongyuan said in a deep voice, "It might sound unbelievable, but it is indeed true.
And when the two masters fought, one of them was seriously injured at the location of the Azure Water Sword Sect.
In the past, my Azure Water Sword Sect's Ancestor was just an ordinary hunter. He accidentally rescued that expert, but that level of expert had already surpassed the limits of the human body. Ordinary methods were simply unable to save him. Moreover, that expert was already on the verge of death.
But before that expert died, he drew a sword scar that contained the inheritance of the martial dao intent for my Azure Water Sword Sect's Ancestor. It is because of that sword scar, that the Azure Water Sword Sect exists today.
Otherwise, if it was like the legends, where my Azure Water Sword Sect's Ancestor only saw the traces left behind during a battle and established the Azure Water Sword Sect, then my Azure Water Sword Sect's Ancestor was truly a heavenly prodigy. I'm afraid he would have long been accepted into a major sect instead of being a nameless individual. "
When Shen Bai heard these secrets from Liu Gongyuan, his pale face couldn't help but reveal a trace of shock.
With his cultivation level, hearing these things was like listening to legends.
A sword scar left behind on the verge of death created one of the seven sects and eight schools, the Azure Water Sword Sect. How strong was this person?
Most importantly, such a master was seriously injured on the spot, how strong was the person who killed him?
Liu Gongyuan said in a deep voice, "These things are the core secrets of the Azure Water Sword Sect. It must be handed over to the next sect master, so even your eldest senior brother and the others don't know about it.
In the past, that master left behind a powerful cultivation technique and asked the founder of the Azure Water Sword Sect to find a fated person to help him pass it down. Of course, the members of the Azure Water Sword Sect could also cultivate it, but that master bluntly said that the founder of the Azure Water Sword Sect didn't have the qualifications to cultivate this cultivation technique.
Humans are selfish, and the founder of the Azure Water Sword Sect was the same. He tried to cultivate this cultivation technique, but found that he couldn't make up his mind to cultivate it.
Later on, the Azure Water Sword Sect didn't show this cultivation technique to anyone and only allowed the elites of the sect to try it. But without exception, all of them failed. "
In the past, that master asked the Azure Water Sword Sect to find a fated person to pass down the cultivation technique, but in the end, the Azure Water Sword Sect kept the cultivation technique for themselves and only allowed their own disciples to try it. Needless to say, this kind of behavior was somewhat immoral and very selfish.
But none of the Azure Water Sword Sect's Sect Masters actually thought of showing this cultivation technique to outsiders. It was due to greed, but it was also human nature.
What kind of cultivation technique was left behind by such a master? Was it a Nine Revolution Cultivation Technique, a Paragon Cultivation Technique, or a legendary peerless divine technique?
If the Azure Water Sword Sect handed over this kind of cultivation technique, then they would be the real idiots.
But it wasn't known if this was due to their selfishness. After so many years, countless Azure Water Sword Sect's elites, even the Sect Master, had personally tried it, but they all failed.
Liu Gongyuan pressed the trigger and a cave actually appeared at the back of the mountain.
He walked into the cave with Shen Bai. In the deepest part of the cave, there was a skeleton sitting in the middle.
The skeleton was very strange. Even though it was a skeleton, it didn't have the slightest feeling of terror. Instead, it was completely white and was actually emitting a sword aura like the edge of a sword. This skeleton was actually like a sword, causing Shen Bai, who was a swordsman, to involuntarily have the desire to worship it!
At this moment, beside the skeleton, there were more than a dozen skeletons, but they were all in a kneeling position towards the skeleton in the middle.
Liu Gongyuan spoke in a deep voice, "The skeleton in the center is the skeleton of that master. After millions of years, it still remains immortal and is still as resplendent as before.
The surrounding skeletons are the elites of our Azure Water Sword Sect who tried to cultivate this cultivation technique. Some of them were even the Sect Master. After passing down the position to the next Sect Master, they chose to come here for a life and death seclusion to cultivate this cultivation technique.
You have also seen the result. If you don't succeed, you will die. These seniors are kneeling here and also have the intention to apologize to that master.
The sect seniors who chose to come here to cultivate this cultivation technique all had amazing talent and strength. Some were even stronger than you. There were many who reached the martial dao master realm, but all of them died here.
If you choose to cultivate this cultivation technique, there is almost no chance of survival.
If you don't cultivate, your martial arts might be crippled, but you are still young. My Azure Water Sword Sect can also give you a lifetime of riches and honor. "
Shen Bai didn't even consider and said, "Master, there is no need to say anything more. I choose to cultivate this cultivation technique."
There were plenty of martial artists who had their martial arts crippled, but for most martial artists, the feeling of having their martial arts crippled was simply worse than death.
If they had never obtained such powerful strength, it was fine for them to be ordinary people for the rest of their lives.
But they had already tasted the feeling of power, and the result was that they were suddenly knocked down from the clouds. This feeling was truly worse than death.
If it was a martial artist with mediocre strength, then so be it. They might choose to live on.
But Shen Bai was different. He was an extremely prideful person. Back when he faced Chu Xiu on the stage, he knew at the last moment that he would most likely lose, but he didn't choose to escape. Instead, he used a secret technique to fight to the death with Chu Xiu. Now, he naturally wouldn't choose to live on in such a humiliating manner.
Since he still had a chance, even though this chance was extremely slim, he had to grab it. If he didn't succeed, then he would die trying!
Liu Gongyuan sighed, "Since you have such determination, then I won't say anything more. The cultivation technique is here."
As he spoke, Liu Gongyuan waved his hand and swept off the dust on the wall. Rows of sharp sword qi words appeared, as if they were carved by a longsword.
Among them, the most eye-catching were the opening four sentences.
"Ten thousand qi is born, the sword pierces the crippled acupuncture point. Return to origin martial arts, Zong Yuan's contributions are great. "
Liu Gongyuan spoke in a deep voice, "To cultivate this cultivation technique, one must first cripple one's martial arts. This first step would cause 99% of people to shrink back.
In the past, I also had the thought of cultivating this cultivation technique, but in the end, I didn't have the courage to take this step and gamble on a slim chance.
Right now, this cultivation technique is your last chance, and also the Azure Water Sword Sect's last chance. It all depends on whether or not you can grasp it.
Remember, the name of this cultivation technique is: Ten, Thousand, Sword, Return, Sect! "
