"This is the swordsmanship path that your teacher has specially selected for you, most suited to your style. It is the secret of Green Lake Mountain not passed on to others, one of the thirty-two Supre Sword Techniques."
Dragon Serpent sighed, "The reason I haven’t chosen a sword technique for you before was to prevent you from cultivating ordinary sword arts and getting stuck on your future path.
This ti I went on a Sect mission and fortuitously obtained this particular sword technique, which is also most suited for you, so I kept it and brought it back. Take good care of it and, by no ans, show it to others."
"The thirty-two Supre Sword Techniques of Green Lake Mountain!?"
Lin Xin was startled. He was beginning to understand just how imnse Green Lake Mountain was.
The sword techniques from Green Lake Mountain that could be deed ’supre,’ ant they were unmatched and unsurpassed. Such sword techniques could surely be cultivated all the way to the strongest realm.
And now his teacher had actually managed to acquire one.
One could imagine the cost it must have taken.
Until now, he had been practicing only Inner Qi techniques, without a systematic thod of attack.
After all, the Green Yuan Decision is just a Qi Cultivation Decision, and the Fire Cloud Technique focuses on comprehension and assistance. He was not like Senior Brother Oro, who possessed an innate fla enhancent, allowing the Fire Cloud Technique to boost his Innate Divine Ability and make it his primary cultivation.
What he excelled at was swordsmanship, and now, Master Dragon Serpent had finally found him a suitable sword technique.
With joy in his heart, Lin Xin also felt sowhat moved. He knew all too well that even for soone of his Master’s level, obtaining such a high level cultivation technique ca with great sacrifices.
Even within Green Lake Mountain, such sword techniques were not sothing one could just acquire. Decrees are as vast as the sea, and Green Lake Mountain had collected far too many Cultivation Decisions, but among them, very few could truly reach the apex.
These portions were held in the hands of a minority of factions. Great sacrifices were needed to even have a chance of being taught them.
After all, in Green Lake Mountain, everything requires a price to exchange.
Of course, that’s for the genuine disciples of Green Lake Mountain; if it were an outsider, no amount of sacrifice could secure an exchange.
Lin Xin steadied his mind, reached out and gently pressed on the Jade Slip, and his thoughts entered it.
A flash of White Light appeared before his eyes, and suddenly, a loud boom exploded next to his ear.
In an instant, a line of large characters directly collided into his mind and soul.
’Supre Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword’
"Assisted by wind and fire, its might is boundless. Take it and comprehend well. Rember, this Jade Slip is for your eyes only. I have specially branded it. It should not be shown to others for it would instantly self-destruct. Bear this in mind,"
Dragon Serpent instructed.
"Thank you, Honored Master!"
Lin Xin respectfully bowed once again.
"Alright, go back, cultivate well, and strive to enter the Sixth Rank as soon as possible."
Dragon Serpent, seeming sowhat weary, waved his hand.
"Yes..."
Lin Xin slowly withdrew.
A whole new set of sword techniques...
Lin Xin felt a sense of anticipation. Up until now, he had relied on his own accumulation of swordsmanship from his ti in the Underworld, integrating many sword techniques into the Red Flower Sword Path, which were ultimately just of a lower level.
Not a single technique that could elevate him to the Sixth Rank.
In fact, he also understood that this was mainly because he had never witnessed the formidable power of a Sixth Rank cultivator, which led to this situation.
And now Master Dragon Serpent had finally imparted a top-tier sword technique to him.
This ant he finally had the opportunity to truly access the pinnacle level of the Sword Dao.
**************
’All things in the world, after all, cannot escape the scope of the five emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, and compassion.’
’The way of emotions lies in change, constantly transforming, yet ultimately converging onto one thing, and that is sentint.’
’With emotion, one can move heaven and earth, creating a resonance between humans and the divine, all lded into one point, which is to enter the Dao through emotion, and push to the extre.’
’The shifts in our emotions are like the wind, touching everything, each with its unique effect.’
’The changes of the five emotions turn into wind, the Wind of Spirit Gathering, that is...’
"Divine Wind...!"
Lin Xin stood in the courtyard, hands clasped behind him, slowly.
Snowflakes floated down from the sky like feathers, silently landing on the ground.
The main family’s estate of the Lin Family, at this ti, was still quiet. The small building and courtyard had been abandoned for a long ti.
Since Lin Yaoyang left, no one had managed the place. Those so-called main family descendants were all vying for power and wealth elsewhere, not caring about this courtyard or the missing Lin Yaoyang.
To them, both Lin Yaoyang and Lin Sherie were too distant.
They had vanished from everyone’s sight many years ago, without a trace.
For those from the Lin Family’s main and branch families who remained, Lin Sherie and Lin Yaoyang were too elevated.
So high that there was hardly a chance to interact with them.
"Supre ... ans unrivalled."
He pondered the essence of the Supre Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword, his mind flowing like rcury.
"The mind is like Water Shadow."
This was the essential state of mind required by the Supre Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword; without such a state, it was impossible to cultivate and wield this sword technique.
"Water Shadow is not about tranquility, but about reflecting everything in tranquility, while the self remains unmoved. I reflect all things, yet my heart remains as one."
Lin Xin felt as if he had grasped sothing profound.
At his level of cultivation, he had long surpassed what a typical fifth-rank could compare with.
Climbing up step by step through mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the Underworld, his path had been much harder than those who had smoothly achieved fifth-rank Human Immortal status in the Mortal Realm.
And naturally, his gains had far exceeded theirs.
"So, how can one maintain an unwavering true heart?"
Lin Xin talked to himself as he walked within the deserted courtyard, while sensing the traces of aura left by Lin Yaoyang.
"Isn’t indulgence in the seven emotions and six desires just the way you cultivators like the most?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind him.
Lin Xin slowly turned around, his eyes sharpened as he fixed his gaze on the dark gold-hued small childlike corpse that had suddenly appeared.
"Lord Xia, it’s been a long ti."
Since he had co here, he was ntally prepared that he might encounter Xia. It was just more sudden than he had anticipated.
"You’ve actually cultivated this sword technique."
Xia clicked his tongue in admiration.
"I’m afraid even your master doesn’t know that the founder of this swordsmanship, although nearly invincible in the world, eventually committed suicide."
"So what?"
Lin Xin’s heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained as calm as ever.
"Green Lake Mountain, there are far too many extrely powerful Cultivation Decisions there, this Supre Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword." Xia smiled, "Do you know why it’s called the Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword, and not of any other months?"
Lin Xin stared intently at the Evil God for a while, uncertain about the purpose of this entity’s sudden appearance.
Nevertheless, Lin Xin was willing to listen to what this being had to say about the secret aspects of the new sword technique.
"I would hear the details."
He said indifferently.
Xia broke into a smile, licking his purple-black lips that were stitched together with threads.
"That’s because the founder took his own life in September."
He laughed with a sinister delight.
"However, unless you cultivate it to a very high level, you won’t be able to see the hidden dangers that lie behind it. Currently, with your low level of cultivation, there’s no danger. Purely in terms of power, if you can cultivate it successfully, it would indeed be very formidable."
Lin Xin’s eyes flickered slightly.
If even the Evil God King Xia has said it’s formidable, then it must be exceptional.
As an Evil God King, Evil Gods themselves are at the level of sixth-rank, and it’s uncertain if Xia has reached the seventh rank.
But such beings are almost always extrely old and terrifyingly powerful life forms, and re mortals would be corrupted simply by uttering their true nas.
A sword art that even such a being deed extrely formidable must indeed have exceptional qualities.
"Enough of this, Elder Xia." Lin Xin changed the topic, "I’ve co here to inquire about my older sister..."
"That’s none of my business. Even with the presence of the Demon God King himself, I wouldn’t dare to interfere." Xia’s smile was as sly as a fox’s. "Song Danhao has already undone several seals, and the strength he’s accumulating is terrifyingly formidable. The power hidden within his body is so vast that even I dare not get too close, lest I trigger its outbreak."
"They need your sister’s Purifying Force to cleanse the soul contamination within one of the seals.
But the Purifying Force is exceedingly rare, only found within the Chanting Star Sect, and the quickest they could find soone with that power was your sister. To save the lives of a small world on the brink of destruction, your sister was willing."
Xia carelessly explained the cause and effect.
"Of course, becoming a Demon General is also to better exert more Purifying Force. I did ntion you to him in advance."
"If it weren’t for Song Danhao’s glib tongue, my sister might already have co to my Dragon Serpent Realm."
Lin Xin snorted coldly, his eyes growing colder.
"I hope you haven’t lied to , Senior."
"How would I dare to lie to you?" Xia said in a bizarre tone. "You are now considered one of the Saint Heirs preordained by the Sect Hierarch of the Chanting Star Sect, and I certainly wouldn’t provoke those madn who aren’t afraid of death."
After a pause, he laughed, "You can rest assured on this. Song Danhao also asked to relay a ssage, promising you that he will return your sister to you unhard and intact. So, it’s likely that your sister will co back afterward.
However, similar incidents might happen again in the future. How will you truly and completely prevent such occurrences from happening?"
He feigned concern for Lin Xin.
Saint Heir?
Lin Xin felt puzzled, but then he recalled the unusual favor shown by the Chanting Star Sect and had so guesses, though he did not let anything show.
"As for future matters, I will handle them. However, I hope that Song Danhao will do as he says. Thank you, Senior, for informing of the situation, I’ll take my leave."
As Xia’s words were a mix of truth and deception, Lin Xin needed to find out the details for himself.
After bowing slightly, Lin Xin turned and suddenly dispersed into a cloud of white mist, disappearing without a trace.
Xia stood in place, chuckling softly to himself.
"After all this effort I’ve put in... What reason do you have not to join the ga..."
He slowly walked into the shadows of the courtyard, vanishing from sight.
****************************
"Song Danhao."
Bits of doubt flashed slowly through Lin Xin’s mind.
He had not anticipated, despite his careful calculations, that Song Danhao would take the initiative to find Lin Yaoyang.
At this mont, the Demon God King had already undone several seals in a row and had drawn the attention of many powerful entities. Trying to interfere now, with the power he currently possessed, would be tantamount to seeking death.
