Tongtian Daoist: Hah?
I feel like you're messing with me!
If the sword wasn't in the hand, where else could it be?
"When there is no sword in the hand, and no sword in the heart either, yet the sword is everywhere—that is the highest realm of the Sword Dao."
"The sword! It seems formless, yet it has form, and 'having' is a kind of obstacle, also a kind of shackle. 'Nothingness' is the highest realm of the Sword Dao. Only by surpassing 'having' can one enter the realm of no sword and no self."
"Only then can it reach everywhere and destroy anything!"
Originally, Tongtian Daoist still felt doubtful about this idea of having no sword in the hand, but after listening to the Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass, he truly froze on the spot and fell into sudden enlightenment.
So all along, he had been narrow-minded!
He had thought the ultimate of the Sword Dao was Sword Intent that could break through all things, but it turned out the true sword had no sword, and yet the sword was everywhere!
After he came back to himself, Tongtian Daoist cupped his hands and said, ashamed of his own inferiority, "Many thanks for your guidance, Daoist Brother. I never imagined Daoist Brother's Sword Dao had already reached such a level. It truly makes me feel ashamed of my own inferiority."
The Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass was not arrogant, but said truthfully, "Fellow Daoist flatters me. In fact, my Sword Dao is not worth mentioning before my master. I merely received my master's influence for a few days and comprehended a little bit of the surface."
There was a master too?
Tongtian was dumbfounded!
A figure whose Sword Dao was so profound and mysterious actually still had a master?
And this was only the surface?
This level of understanding toward the Sword Dao was still only the surface?
Tongtian Daoist took a moment to react, then said with some doubt, "Daoist Brother's master is truly that formidable?"
The Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass looked at Tongtian Daoist as if looking at a fool, then said as a matter of course, "Master has grasped the Three Thousand Great Daos and is proficient in every single one. The Sword Dao is merely one of them. With Master's Sword Dao, a single strike could erase the Primordial World!"
The Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass's expression was extremely calm, as if it were discussing what to eat for dinner.
Hearing the Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass say this, Tongtian Daoist was shocked!
Did a mighty being who had grasped the Three Thousand Great Daos truly exist in this world?
Wouldn't that mean surpassing Saints?
Seeing that the Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass's expression did not seem like it was boasting, Tongtian Daoist was even more shocked!
If such a mighty being truly existed in this world, and he could seek some instruction from him, then he would surely advance by leaps and bounds on the path of the Sword Dao!
Thinking of this, Tongtian Daoist hesitated for a moment, then said, "May I ask where that senior is? Might I pay him a visit?"
The Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass nodded, extended a leaf vein, and pointed from afar in the direction where Chen Sheng was. Then it said to Tongtian, "The Cave Abode where Master is in seclusion is in that direction. However, whether Master sees you or not is not something I can decide."
Tongtian Daoist obtained Chen Sheng's location, and joy appeared on his face. He hurriedly bid farewell to the Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass and said, "Then I shall not disturb you. I will come trouble you again another day."
The Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass did not urge him to stay either.
After Tongtian Daoist bid farewell to the Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass, he set off toward the little mountain where Chen Sheng lived.
Almost in an instant, Tongtian Daoist arrived.
But looking at the beautiful little mountain before him, Tongtian Daoist was stunned.
He really could not see anything special about this little mountain. Even its Spiritual Power was not as abundant as within the Human Race's territory, making it truly impossible for him to see how this resembled a place where a mighty being lived.
Whether it was Hongjun's Purple Cloud Palace or Nuwa's Wa Huang Palace, those were both magnificent and splendid existences!
Even Kunlun Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones lived, was one of the top blessed lands of feng shui in the Primordial World!
But this Broken Mountain...
Wasn't it really too shabby?
At the same time, Chen Sheng was holding a rag, wiping the Broken Sword in the Cave Abode while muttering to himself, "In today's Primordial World, the one whose Sword Dao has reached the divine is Tongtian. During the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Tongtian even nearly used the Immortal Slaying Sword to reenact the Primordial World's earth, fire, wind, and water!"
"Sigh, unfortunately, what I learned is too miscellaneous. I am not proficient in the Sword Dao. Who knows when I'll be able to reach that level."
However, Chen Sheng did not know that at this moment, Tongtian Daoist was outside the entrance to his Cave Abode, preparing to pay him a visit!
After hesitating again and again, Tongtian Daoist still decided to visit Chen Sheng. After all, he was already here.
Just as he was preparing to visit Chen Sheng, a faint Sword Intent suddenly appeared, directly shaking Tongtian Daoist's mind and spirit!
Tongtian Daoist's mind was thrown into chaos on the spot. He had actually produced a trace of instinctive fear!
Was this the master that Daoist Brother Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass had spoken of?
Before coming, Tongtian Daoist had still felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, but now he was already certain Daoist Brother Nine Sword Star Pattern Grass had not been spouting nonsense!
Although this sudden Sword Intent was faint, the Sword Dao rhythm it contained was vast and profound, pure to the extreme!
Not only did it stir Tongtian Daoist's emotions, it even made his thoughts loosen a little!
This Sword Intent even gave Tongtian Daoist a feeling that if he made any wrong move, this Sword Intent could kill him at once!
Fortunately, Tongtian Daoist did not sense any hostility from this Sword Intent. It seemed this senior held no hostility toward him, which made him let out a breath of relief.
Tongtian Sect Master was incomparably shocked; even his breathing no longer flowed smoothly.
