'The sword is born from the heart. Why should it be restricted by talent?'
Xiao Chengfeng's breathing quickened. Those words kept echoing in his mind. His entire being seemed to have emptied out.
Buzz!
It was as if the evening drum and morning bell were ringing in his ears. It made his soul feel like it was about to ascend to the heavens.
'The truth of swordsmanship. This is the truth of swordsmanship!'
Suddenly, he had the urge to cry. He felt like he had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
'No wonder I haven't made any progress in seven thousand years. I've reached a dead end. I've relied too much on talent. This isn't just referring to taking in disciples, it's also referring to myself!'
'The expert is clearly giving me pointers!'
'I've always valued talent for my entire life of swordsmanship. I've always relied on talent to enter the realm of swordsmanship. Now that I think about it, it's laughable. How laughable!'
'I don't even have the heart of the sword. How can I improve?'
At that moment, he was enlightened!
The dead end in front of him suddenly opened up. A new path appeared. Moreover, this path was extremely wide and extended. He couldn't see the end, but it would definitely be exciting!
Xiao Chengfeng's face was serious. He suddenly stood up and felt as if all the cells in his body were jumping with joy. "Young Master Li, after listening to your words today, I've been enlightened. I've benefited a lot. Please accept my bow."
Waking up from his daze, this feeling of excitement was enough to make anyone happy.
"Elder Xiao, you can't!" Li Nianfan quickly stopped him. "You're an immortal, and I'm a mortal. There's no such thing as an immortal bowing to a mortal. Actually, I was just casually saying it. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved. Elder Xiao, you've been thinking too much."
"No matter what, it's all thanks to Young Master Li."
Xiao Chengfeng's expression was complicated. He didn't expect the defendant to brush off such a huge favor.
The onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved.
That was easy to say.
However, it was extremely difficult to make the person involved repent. How could he turn back after thinking too much? This was the so-called enlightenment. This was a huge favor. It was comparable to a new life!
However, the expert didn't care. What kind of realm was this? What kind of demeanor was this?!
In the past, he had never seen a big shot before, but now, he had!
"Young Master Li, I'll drink this cup of wine!" He didn't know what to say anymore. Words seemed pale and powerless. He could only express himself through actions!
"It's good that Elder Xiao can think things through." Li Nianfan smiled. It seemed that his theoretical knowledge was still quite advanced. He had formed a good relationship with another immortal.
He suddenly realized that he had another advantage, and that was his knowledge.
Just like how "Journey to the West" could attract the attention of immortals, many of his theoretical knowledge were probably very advanced. Not only for mortals, but also for immortal cultivators.
Xiao Chengfeng was excited and could not help but ask, "Young Master Li, how many levels do you think the way of the sword can be divided into?"
Li Nianfan took a sip of wine. Instead of answering, he asked, "What does Mr. Xiao think?"
"I used to think that there were three levels. The first was the sharp sword, the second was the sword aura, and the third was the sword will. But now, after listening to Young Master Li's words, I've added another level. It's called the heart of the sword!"
At this moment, Xiao Chengfeng was like a student telling his thoughts to his teacher, eager to be praised by his teacher. "Young Master Li, what do you think?"
"You're right."
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment. He felt that it was time to show his true skills. He said, "But it's still on the surface."
Xiao Chengfeng couldn't wait and said, "Young Master Li, please enlighten me."
Lin Mufeng immediately listened attentively. Daji and Huo Feng also looked at Li Nianfan.
Their hearts were undulating. They were excited and full of anticipation. Anything that came from the expert's mouth would definitely be amazing!
This was the expert's first time answering a question about cultivation. His words would definitely be earth-shattering and earth-shattering!
Li Nianfan's voice was calm. He said calmly, "The first level: Fighting three thousand miles in one's life, one sword against a million masters!"
"The second level: Even if there are three million sword immortals in the sky, they still have to bow before me!"
"The third level: If the heavens didn't give birth to me, Li Chungang, the way of the sword would be like a long night!"
Boom!
Everyone's brains exploded. Although it was just a few sentences, it made their hair stand on end. It was as if they were wrapped in an extremely sharp sword aura.
Li Nianfan's voice wasn't loud, but it was accompanied by the sound of thunder in everyone's ears!
It wasn't an illusion. It was real thunder! Eighteen
This was the transmission of the Dao, resonating with the heavens and earth!
An image appeared in their minds. One man, one sword, mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. One man stood against ten thousand!
Then, the image changed. They ascended and became an immortal. Tens of thousands of swords sang. All sword cultivators in the world bowed their heads!
Then came the third image. However, the image was very blurry. They could vaguely see that the heavens and earth lost their color. A sword covered the sky!
Their minds trembled. They were almost suffocating. They were lost in this state and couldn't extricate themselves.
For a moment, there was silence.
After a while, their bodies trembled as if they had woken up from a dream.
However, their bodies were covered in cold sweat.
This was a form of extremely complicated emotions after peeking into the path of the Dao.
"This, this, this …"
Xiao Chengfeng's throat kept moving. He wanted to say something in amazement, but when the words reached his mouth, he couldn't say a word. He was at a loss for words.
How could such a monstrous momentum be described with words? It could only be understood, but not described.
In the end, he could only sigh and say sincerely, "Young Master Li is a great talent. It is truly admirable."
He laughed bitterly in his heart. Compared to Young Master Li, his so-called four realms were simply trash and shallow! Without Young Master Li's guidance, he wouldn't have known that he was so shallow.
"Elder Xiao, you're too kind." Li Nianfan smiled slightly. It felt very good to be able to shock everyone with a single sentence.
Moreover, this group of people were not mortals.
In fact, the three realms he mentioned were the mortal realm, the immortal realm, and the transcendental realm. They were not much more advanced than Xiao Chengfeng.
However, it was precisely because he used ancient poetry to summarize it that the level of pretentiousness rose sharply. The effect was incomparable.
This was the difference between the cultured and the uncultured.
Xiao Chengfeng said self-deprecatingly, "In the past, I thought that I had reached the peak of swordsmanship. Now, it seems that I'm still far from the second realm!"
His gaze was distant. He yearned for the third realm that Li Nianfan mentioned to the extreme.
He muttered silently, "If the heavens didn't give birth to me, Xiao Chengfeng, swordsmanship would be eternal …"
He fell silent. He realized that even if he wanted to sneak in, he couldn't say it out loud.
The level of pretentiousness of this realm was too high. He couldn't control it at all.
There were only two kinds of people who could say such words. One was a person who had reached the peak of swordsmanship and had a clear state of mind. The other was a person who had a very shallow understanding of swordsmanship.
For example, Xiao Chengfeng couldn't say it out loud because he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"If I can say these words in front of everyone with a clear conscience, then I, Xiao Chengfeng, will have no regrets in this life!" His eyes shone with a determined light.
At this time, the boat had unknowingly reached the shore.
Li Nianfan cupped his hands and said, "I should go back."
Lin Mufeng immediately said, "Young Master Li, I'll send you off."
Li Nianfan smiled and refused. "No need. Little Daji and I can take a look at the scenery along the way. It's good to walk."
"Young Master Li, your words today are like a beacon to me." Xiao Chengfeng said solemnly, "Thank you!"
"As long as it's useful. You're welcome. Goodbye." Li Nianfan waved his hand and slowly left with Daji.
Looking at Li Nianfan's back, Lin Mufeng and Xiao Chengfeng's expressions were complicated. They both felt an unfathomable sense of freedom and wanted to bow down and worship him.
As expected of the expert's demeanor.
Xiao Chengfeng said gratefully, "Fellow Daoist Lin, this time I was able to meet the expert because of you. Thank you!"
Lin Mufeng quickly said, "You're too kind, Exalted Immortal. Since the expert brought me to retrieve your immortal stone tablet from the ruins, he must have already made arrangements."
"No matter what the arrangements are, I'm willing to be the sharpest sword in his hand!" Xiao Chengfeng's eyes lit up. Then, he asked curiously, "Oh right, I've never dared to ask the expert. Do you know who Li Chunfeng is?"
Lin Mufeng shook his head. "I don't know. But since it came from the expert's mouth, it must be an amazing person! "
Xiao Chengfeng was fascinated. "Sigh, I didn't expect such a sword cultivator to exist in this world. It would be great if I could see him."
"He's probably a big shot from the same era as the expert." Lin Mufeng was also full of admiration. He guessed, "He has the same surname as the expert. They might be relatives."
Xiao Chengfeng suddenly understood. "So he's a relative of the expert. No wonder he's so elegant."
