"What is this?"
Watching Lu Yang reach out and write in the void, Patriarch Tingyou and True Person Demon-Sweeping both leaned in curiously, then revealed expressions of sudden understanding.
"He is deducing a cultivation method."
Patriarch Tingyou could not help but smile as though watching a child grow up. "Integrating what he has learned and transforming others' things into his own understanding."
"Impressive."
On the other side, True Person Demon-Sweeping's gaze shifted slightly. "Third Grade? Second Grade? No, higher than that. This cultivation method of his has the feeling of a First Grade True Art!"
As the Empty Attainment cultivator of [Sword Dao], True Person Demon-Sweeping had primarily cultivated Sword Pavilion's First Grade True Art in his youth. Lu Yang had also cultivated it during his lifetime in Sword Pavilion, the Sword Lord's Secret Chapter of Mystic Gold, so he was no stranger to First Grade True Arts and immediately saw a few clues.
"This is..."
Gradually, True Person Demon-Sweeping's expression changed. "A sensing method? It is clearly a First Grade True Art, yet it is not autonomous—it is a sensing method?"
This was a very strange matter.
In True Person Demon-Sweeping's eyes, the method Lu Yang was writing was undeniably a First Grade True Art, yet its essence was not particularly profound or mysterious.
Quite the opposite.
It was exceedingly simple: it sensed the [Northern Exorcism Institute]—Lu Yang's First Grade True Art was like this, so what about the Sword Lord's Secret Chapter of Mystic Gold?
Could it be the same?
[Sword Dao]... What exactly is it? Did I truly Empty Attain [Sword Dao]? And what is it that I sense? Could this be where the problem lies?
All along, True Person Demon-Sweeping had harbored a hidden concern. Ever since his Empty Attainment, his cultivation had never improved noticeably.
