Master Is So Silly...

The moment the waterfall was split apart by the Ten Li Slope Sword God, Jiang Lin was somewhat stunned. In that instant, Jiang Lin thought of a certain master who cultivated the Lushan Rising Dragon Lord...

If he didn't seal his Spiritual Apertures, Jiang Lin felt he could do it too, and even seal the waterfall himself.

Of course, it can only be stopped for the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea, since this waterfall is simply too huge.

But now, Senior Ten Li Slope has actually sealed off his Spiritual Apertures and used a tree branch to split what is possibly the largest waterfall in Wutong Province?!

When a cultivator seals their Spiritual Apertures, although their physical abilities are far superior to those of ordinary people, they are no different from ordinary people in other aspects.

Even Martial Warrior are the same, but Martial Warrior don't have any Spiritual Apertures; they rely entirely on the Martial Warrior True Qi.

However, if Martial Warrior forcibly stops the flow of their Martial Warrior True Qi, then that Martial Warrior is at most just a Sett with a full tank build.

You may be tough, and your fists may still be incredibly powerful, perhaps even capable of punching through a steel plate, but could you, without using Martial Warrior True Qi, break such a massive waterfall with a single punch?

(Wait... if it's Mother Chen, Chen Jia, or even Chen Huo, who's obsessed with his daughter, it might actually be possible...)

Similarly, Senior Shi Li, as the strongest swordsman in the Sun Moon Sect, casually picked a tree branch and, with his Spiritual Apertures sealed, unleashed sword energy no less powerful than that he had used in his previous battles!

This is cheating...

That's about it.

He casually jumped back, Ten Li Slope Sword God pulled down his trouser leg and looked at the waterfall.

"The waterfall is beautiful, the flowers are in full bloom, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping—it's all incredibly moving..."

Although this matter is not difficult, Little Brother Jiang should not underestimate it. This is the best way to figure out the sword energy of your Natal Flying Sword.

Sword energy is like the nature of Flying Sword. As long as Brother Jiang grasps First Snow's sword energy, he will understand First Snow's nature, and he will be able to clearly define the true direction for cultivating sword energy in the future.

Of course, with Little Brother Jiang's current Sea Gazing Realm, it is indeed a bit too much to ask him to use a tree branch to unleash the sword energy of his Natal Flying Sword sword to break through the waterfall. Therefore, Brother Jiang can simply seal his Spiritual Apertures and does not need to use a tree branch. He can break through it with his Natal Flying Sword.

That should be quite simple.

It's very simple?

Jiang Lin's brows twitched.

Even with the First Snow, if your Spiritual Apertures are sealed, you'd be lucky to unleash even 10% of its First Snow energy. Is that really so simple?

Is this what a big shot is like...?

But the problem was, looking at Senior Shi Li Shili's sincere eyes, Jiang Lin felt he couldn't very well say no...

A man! How can he say no!

"Alright, I'm going now. After all, the world is so big, how can you know how beautiful the flowers are if you don't see the sky outside?"

Although he spoke in a fancy way, Jiang Lin knew that the other party was probably leaving Twin Pearl Peak to go on a mission.

Jiang Lin bowed and clasped his hands in thanks. "This junior must thank Senior Shi Li for his guidance."

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

The elder from Ten Li Slope helped Jiang Lin up, and he looked up at the sky.

"The wind is howling, and so are the people. If we can walk faster, we can get a little further away before the storm hits. Do you agree, Little Brother Jiang?"

"I... you're right, senior."

"Actually, I have another question. Little Brother Jiang, do you think beauty and ugliness lie in...?"

"This junior will not see you off any further, senior! Thank you again for your guidance!"

Jiang Lin was starting to feel the strain; if this continued, Jiang Lin felt he was turning into a philosopher!

"Very well, whether to ask this question or not, although it is a question, leaving it for another day to answer is also a question worth considering. Brother Jiang, do you think this is a question...?"

"..."

Finally, after Jiang Lin gave Senior Ten Li Slope Half-Price Coupon for the Spring Breeze Pavilion and told him that the 50% off event at the Spring Breeze Pavilion would last for less than an hour, the senior flew away on his Sword Flight.

Jiang Lin promises that even if he ever feels lost in the path of swordsmanship again, he will never ask Ten Li Slope for advice again!

As for why Jiang Lin didn't ask his master?

It's very simple. In the past, whenever Jiang Lin asked his master some questions about cultivation, his master was always at a loss, as if he had never encountered such questions before.

This is similar to when Jiang Lin asked Chen Jia how a punch could shatter a boulder.

Chen Jia's response was always, "Isn't that how it was broken?"

Perhaps this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people...

However, the master will also seriously consider the questions he raised.

Of course, after thinking for a short while, the master would usually give up and then say:

"Little Linlin doesn't need to cultivate anymore. Master can focus on cultivation. Little Linlin doesn't need to work so hard. Master will protect Little Linlin..."

Therefore, Jiang Lin basically gave up...

Jiang Lin stared blankly at the waterfall.

Sword Qi

Sword energy is the nature of Natal Flying Sword.

Sword intent is the mind of Natal Flying Sword.

But what exactly is my own First Snow like?

"Never mind, let's practice first!"

Without wasting any time, Jiang Lin sealed his Spiritual Apertures and then gripped the First Snow sword, continuously swinging it...

result...

Apart from a few small sword wisps trailing with a gust of wind, there was nothing else...

That weak sword energy wouldn't even be able to cut through a waterfall, let alone kill a chicken...

An hour later,

Lying on the giant rock where Senior Shi Li had stood, Jiang Lin, exhausted, slowly closed his eyes, opened his Spiritual Apertures, and began to recover his strength.

"Sword energy is the very nature of Flying Sword. Hey~~~ First Snow, do you really think I don't understand you? We've been together for eight years, after all."

Lying on the rock, Jiang Lin held up the First Snow.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but recall using the First Snow as a barbecue skewer, a photo stick, a chrysanthemum sword, and even as a toy for First Snow Little Niannian. In the summer, the First Snow was also his personal air conditioner...

Sometimes, when the chef caused a fire in the kitchen, First Snow would even act as her own fire extinguisher...

Jing Jing watching the First Snow, the crystal-clear First Snow shone through the afternoon sunlight.

Perhaps it was a little too bright, Jiang Lin put First Snow down and held her in his arms. Exhausted, he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Lin, lying on the boulder, was fast asleep, breathing steadily.

The exquisite longsword, as if forged from ice and snow, was slowly withdrawn from Jiang Lin's arms, swirling and circling around him.

The sun slowly shifted its course until the sunset painted the sky red, the afterglow of the setting sun reddening the mountains and forests, the falling red waterfall, and gilding the man on the stone with a faint golden edge.

Jiang Lin was unaware that First Snow had already left his embrace.

Jiang Lin was unaware that the First Snow, which had been swirling for so long, had already reached the edge of the stream.

A beautiful, silver-haired girl with a smile lifted the hem of her skirt.

She gently kicked her white feet in the crystal-clear spring water.

Several Xiao Yu also swam over and kissed the girl's pretty toes.

Resting her chin on her hand, the silver-haired girl smiled gently, as if complaining:

"Master is so silly..."
