Understanding the Purpose of Comprehending the Sword Dao

"Your swordplay is so powerful that you must have a basic understanding of the way of the sword. To better understand and comprehend the way of the sword, you need to understand its essence."

"The so-called Way of the Sword is the profound truth contained within the sword."

"As for the profound truth contained within the sword, we'll discuss that later."

"Have you ever wondered why your Spirit Root is called the Sword Spirit Root? Since there is Sword Spirit Root, are there also knife Spirit Root, spear Spirit Root, staff Spirit Root, or to put it simply, weapon Spirit Root?"

Lu Yang shook his head. He hadn't really thought about that question. He just felt that he was naturally inclined to practice swordsmanship, as if he were born with a special affinity for swords.

"The Sword Spirit Root mutated from the Metal Spirit Root. The characteristics of the Metal Spirit Root are its control over minerals and its extremely strong offensive capabilities, while the Sword Spirit Root abandons the characteristic of controlling minerals and mutates its offensive capabilities to the extreme."

"The so-called Sword Spirit Root does not mean that you are born with an affinity for swords, but rather that you have mastered the most powerful means of attack, and the most powerful means of attack is a weapon, and the best vessel for a weapon is a sword."

"Only by using a sword can the characteristics of Spirit Root be brought to their fullest potential."

Lu Yang was somewhat puzzled. "But when I cast Law Technique, its power is about the same as when I use a sword."

If Sword Spirit Root can unleash its full offensive potential, then the way of the sword should be the most powerful.

Seeing Lu Yang's puzzled expression, the Silent Daoist pondered for a moment and said, "This confirms an old saying."

"What old saying?"

"Geniuses are unreasonable."

"Experience is summarized by predecessors, but predecessors have not seen everything. For example, they have never seen you."

"Furthermore, it's not entirely true that the Sword Spirit Root is the strongest. Look at the four High Antiquity immortals, which one of them used a sword? If the Sword Spirit Root is the strongest, why didn't any of them become immortals?"

Lu Yang thought to himself that there was actually one possibility of becoming an immortal: using the unity of man and sword too well would kill him on the path to immortality.

Being called a "formidable rival" by the Immortal Fairy during the Tribulation Transcendence stage demonstrates the opponent's strength.

The last person the fairy called a formidable rival was a peerless genius who had turned his ability to make words into law into a passive skill.

Moreover, it's not that no immortals use swords; Qilin Immortal frequently uses a sword, and Lu Yang's Dark Moon Sword was reforged from Qilin Immortal's sword.

"To comprehend the way of the sword, one must have a clear purpose. Xiao Yang, let me ask you, what is your purpose in comprehending the way of the sword?"

When asked this question, Lu Yang remained silent for a long time. Since he began cultivating and wielding the sword, he had never thought about what his purpose was.

He was simply drifting along, practicing his spirituality aimlessly.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if immersed in an ocean of memories, recalling the events that had occurred since he began his cultivation:

Upon entering the sect, he made many friends. Although they often tricked and deceived each other, it was just friendly banter. When he encountered problems and sought help from his senior brothers and sisters, they were always happy to lend a hand and answer his questions. His eldest sister taught him and helped him build a solid foundation. Although she was taciturn, Lu Yang could feel her care for him...

Lu Yang opened his eyes, looked directly into the eyes of the silent Daoist, his gaze resolute, and spoke his answer.

"I comprehend the way of the sword in order to protect!"

He wants to protect all this beauty!

The Silent Daoist punched Lu Yang on the head.

"Protect my ass! Who needs your protection? Your master or Xiaoyun?"

Lu Yang: "..."

He thought about it and realized that it made sense. Meng Jingzhou and the others were all peerless geniuses, and his senior brothers and sisters were even more skilled than him. He always relied on his senior brothers and sisters to support him when he went out, not to mention his eldest senior sister.

And what about his master? His master's enemies are opponents he can't handle, so why would he need to protect him?

"If you keep thinking about these trivial things, everything I just said will be for nothing. The sword is the most offensive weapon, and the purpose of comprehending the way of the sword is, of course, to pursue the ultimate attack!"

Lu Yang nodded honestly, admitting that he had overthought things.

"Sword cultivators must pursue purity; the purer their pursuit, the better their understanding of the sword path!"

"As the saying goes, 'One sword can break all laws,' which precisely implies the way to comprehend the way of the sword!"

"And the 'Break' technique you used—why is it the most powerful among all the techniques? It's because the 'Break' character represents the pursuit of swordsmanship!"

Lu Yang recalled his process of comprehending the Dao of the Sword, and it was indeed the case. When he was comprehending the Dao of the Sword, he didn't think about anything else; he was only thinking about how to become stronger through the Dao of the Sword.

Surprisingly, it aligned perfectly with the most Higher Vehicle way of enlightenment.

Although it was unexpected, Lu Yang had actually anticipated it. This could be seen from the Immortal Fairy's reaction. When he was comprehending the sword path, the Immortal Fairy did not point out any mistakes or correct his method of comprehension, which showed that his actions were correct.

Unbeknownst to Lu Yang, while he was attentively listening to the lecture, the Immortal Fairy was also listening attentively in her spiritual space, nodding frequently and gaining a great deal of knowledge.

"So that's what swordsmanship is all about." The Immortal Fairy suddenly realized that there were very few sword cultivators in High Antiquity times. Apart from the Venerable Qin Jian, she had never come into contact with any other sword cultivators.

The Immortal Fairy thought it was great to have a cheat system. Since her resurrection, she had been resting and doing nothing all day. With her cheat system, she could see all sorts of interesting things happening in the cultivation world. Not only could her cheat system help her with her affairs, but more importantly, when it gained fortuitous opportunity, she could also gain fortuitous opportunity along with it.

It can be described as a win-win situation.

With his master's guidance, Lu Yang suddenly understood. In the past, his cultivation seemed to be shrouded in a veil, but today the Silent Daoist removed it, and his mind became clear.

He sat cross-legged, attempting to comprehend the way of the sword according to the teachings of the Silent Daoist.

"Pursuing the ultimate attack..."

The Silent Daoist noticed the sword aura emanating from Lu Yang's meditation and nodded slightly, marveling at his little disciple's astonishing comprehension of swordsmanship.

Since that's the case, I should leave.

He was just passing through the sect to visit his home. His path of cultivation lay in the outside world, in the mortal realm. Now that he had taught Lu Yang the most essential part of swordsmanship, this trip could be considered complete.

He swept his whisk and walked out of the sect.

The moment he stepped out of the sect, he saw countless marriage proposal teams blocking the mountain gate. When the proposal teams saw the Silent Daoist, strange and excited smiles appeared on their lips.

"The intelligence was correct, that bastard really did return to the Ask Dao Sect!"

"Silent old thief, you've finally come out!"

The Silent Daoist felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a barrage of attacks.

"Bodhi Palm of Begging for Alms!" A giant emerald green palm descended from the sky, larger than a mountain and of immeasurable weight.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!" A cultivator was enveloped in black energy, his aura surged, and his fighting spirit soared.

"All Martial Arts Unlocked!"

"The Creation and Universe Array!"

"Thunder has struck!"

Boom--Boom--Boom--

A barrage of dazzling attacks relentlessly shook the earth and caused space to tremble.

The Silent Daoist silently retreated back to his sect.

He wasn't in a hurry to go out and practice Buddhism.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
