Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than fifty years have passed since the day the four great families were destroyed.
Lotus Horn City has also developed prosperously, just as the people had hoped.
The Ancient Immortal Dao lineage sent people to assist the city lord, Zhu Hongyu, in governing, and all kinds of rules and regulations followed the will of the people, which was unanimously recognized by the people.
Lotus Horn City, which had been oppressed for hundreds of years, finally tasted the sweetness after suffering and realized what happiness is.
At this time, in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, two young men, one holding a sword and the other holding a halberd, were fighting back and forth with the blessing of Dao techniques.
The light of the sword and the glow of the halberd crisscrossed, shaking up ripples of array patterns.
As a burst of energy impacted and rose into the sky, the young man's sword was knocked away by the war halberd.
He looked back in astonishment, with disbelief in his eyes.
"I lost again…"
The young man was dejected and puzzled: "Master, I can now defeat some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the city, but why do I lose every time I fight against you? Every move of my sword seems to be under your control."
"Because your swordsmanship was taught by me, and I know this swordsmanship inside and out.
If you want me to be unable to predict it, you must try to change every move in the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》 to make the swordsmanship unpredictable."
Chen Changsheng was tall and slender, with a handsome and natural appearance.
He stood with a war halberd in his hand, his temperament ethereal like an immortal, and he replied with a smile.
The young man's name was Ye Mingyi, and he possessed a rare high-grade spiritual root aptitude.
Ten years ago, when he went to the school to learn, he saw Chen Changsheng standing beside the city lord, and he recalled what his parents had said.
'It is not the city lord who saved Lotus Horn City, but the mysterious young man beside the city lord.'
Ye Mingyi, who had been smart since he was a child, was not like other children who were so excited that they directly apprenticed to the city lord or others.
He chose Chen Changsheng, who looked ordinary.
Many smarter children saw this and followed suit.
At that time, Chen Changsheng only asked them one question: "If I only teach one kind of swordsmanship, and it is not the strongest swordsmanship, are you willing to give up all other Dao techniques for this swordsmanship?"
As soon as these words came out, only Ye Mingyi hesitated and thought, while all the other children agreed in one voice.
After careful consideration, Ye Mingyi's answer was actually the same as the other children's, which was willingness.
But Chen Changsheng only accepted Ye Mingyi as his disciple.
It was not only because Ye Mingyi possessed a high-grade spiritual root, but also because he had known how to think since he was a child.
In the future, when he encountered bottlenecks in Dao techniques, this subconscious ability to think would open up a path of his own.
"Change every move in the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》? Didn't you say that you would only be able to modify and extend it after you had completely comprehended the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》?" Ye Mingyi said in astonishment.
Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, so if you want me to be unable to crack your swordsmanship, you still have a long way to go."
"Master is really joking."
Ye Mingyi showed a wry smile.
It was unknown how long it would take to completely comprehend the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》, let alone modify and create sword moves.
He, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, now had the strength to rival the Foundation Establishment stage.
In Lotus Horn City, he could be called invincible below the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, even with such strength, he should definitely be able to exchange a few moves with his Foundation Establishment stage master, but the result was a harsh slap in the face.
"You don't need to be discouraged.
You can start by modifying the sword moves first.
Even if you have not completely understood the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》, you can still think in this direction and comprehend different sword moves from it."
Although Chen Changsheng was not a well-known sword cultivator, he was, after all, an existence who had comprehended the Sword Dao domain, so it was no problem to guide a Qi Refining stage sword learner.
As for the subsequent path of the Sword Dao, it was up to Ye Mingyi himself.
Chen Changsheng did not teach other Dao techniques to Ye Mingyi.
Not everyone was like Miaomiao, who could learn everything and still have plenty of time to hone slowly.
Therefore, he only taught Ye Mingyi the Sword Dao, which was a road of no return that required perseverance and determination.
According to the current situation, Ye Mingyi already possessed the heart of the Sword Dao, and his Sword Dao talent was quite good.
Chen Changsheng was very gratified that his swordsmanship could be passed on, but he didn't know how far Ye Mingyi could ultimately go.
"I understand, Master.
I will carefully comprehend the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》!" Ye Mingyi said solemnly.
"Work hard, and I will teach you a unique swordsmanship after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage."
Chen Changsheng put away his war halberd, came to Yu Niang, sat down, picked up a teacup on the table, took a sip, and showed a refreshing expression.
Yu Niang's movements beside him were slow and gentle.
A plate of fruit was cut in advance on the table, and her white jade fingers picked up one piece and brought it to his mouth.
Chen Changsheng bit the fruit in one bite, and gently licked her slender fingers, causing Yu Niang to cast a charming look.
"Unique swordsmanship? Didn't Master say that he would only teach me one swordsmanship?"
Ye Mingyi turned a blind eye to the ambiguous behavior of the two, his mind was full of swordsmanship and unique skills, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Master really had something hidden that he hadn't taught him yet!
"If I didn't say that, how could you put all your thoughts on the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》?"
"Only practicing one swordsmanship for ten years is to hone your sword heart.
Sword cultivators need to be pure and focused, and cannot be distracted."
"As for me, I am not pure enough, so I can only abandon the Sword Dao."
Chen Changsheng showed a regretful look on his face, feeling sorry for himself for not being able to be compatible with the Sword Dao, even though he had extraordinary Sword Dao talent.
What a pit!
This scene fell into Ye Mingyi's eyes, as if he had seen many unknown sad stories.
His heart couldn't help but ache for it, and he secretly vowed to carry forward his master's Sword Dao and make up for his master's past regrets!
Thinking of this, the sword in Ye Mingyi's hand suddenly became heavy.
He waved his long sword again, practicing and comprehending the 《Taiyi Heavenly Gang Sword Sutra》 alone.
After an unknown amount of time, Miaomiao's beautiful figure floated into the courtyard.
Chen Changsheng looked up, smiled, and asked: "Is there any news?"
Miaomiao nodded slightly and said: "There is news.
Thick Yin-Yang swirls have appeared in the sky above the secret realm.
There must be an Yin-Yang Treasure Tree appearing, and Junior Brother's Taiji Pan Fruit has a place to land."
"If that's the case, I'll take Mingyi there.
You two stay here and wait for me to come back," Chen Changsheng said as he stood up.
Foundation Establishment is the most important stage for cultivators.
The grade of the Dao foundation will affect the improvement of all subsequent realms.
As his disciple, Chen Changsheng will naturally help his disciple build a perfect Dao foundation as much as possible.
