Chapter 875: God-Slaying
Old Ancestor Dugu frowned slightly. "Sword cultivation must proceed step by step. You must not reach for what is beyond your grasp."
Mo Hua nodded. "What you say is true, Old Ancestor. But you also said that the sword path must have a beginning and an end—that one must know both the starting point and the destination. Only then can one have direction."
"I cultivate Sword Qi every day now. That is the starting point of the sword path. The sword techniques of Divine Sense Sword are the destination. With both a beginning and an end, I have a direction in which to work hard and learn the sword."
Old Ancestor Dugu was taken aback.
Whenever the child spoke, he was eloquent and always had one argument after another.
He was completely different from all the sword-path disciples Old Ancestor Dugu had taught before.
The child's Dao Heart was pure, and he treated people sincerely. His bearing was natural. Though he respected Old Ancestor Dugu, he was nothing like the other disciples, who were timid and constrained in his presence.
Even Xuan'er, among his previous disciples, had revered him as their Old Ancestor. Whenever he imparted the Dao and taught techniques, they had not dared say much.
Let alone someone like Mo Hua, who asked all sorts of strange questions whenever he pleased and occasionally made little requests...
Still, what he said was reasonable. Though laying a solid foundation was important in sword cultivation, one's goal and direction were equally important.
In the end, he had to let the child know what he was learning for.
Old Ancestor Dugu nodded. "Fine. I'll explain it to you simply."
Mo Hua's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Old Ancestor!"
He then sat up straight and listened intently.
