In the main hall, the other disciples had already left.

Su Changyu remained alone.

"Changyu, I'll be heading down the mountain these next few days to see if I can borrow some spirit stones. Please take good care of Ye Ping. Whatever happens, stick to the original plan. Don't make any mistakes, understand?"

The Grand Hua Daoist said earnestly.

"Your disciple understands. It's just that a hundred taels of gold is quite a lot. Master, can you think of a solution?"

Su Changyu was also a little worried.

It was rare for the sect to get a genius, only for this kind of thing to happen.

"I should be able to think of a solution, so you don't need to worry. Our sect has finally produced a dragon. Even if I have to work harder or suffer a bit, it's fine. The important thing is to keep your junior disciple stable and teach him well. Don't teach him wrongly anymore."

The Grand Hua Daoist said seriously.

Knowing that Ye Ping was a genius, the Grand Hua Daoist did not want Su Changyu to corrupt the boy, which was why he said this.

"Alright, Master, rest assured. With me here at the sect, you don't need to worry."

Su Changyu nodded.

He had thought about it all night yesterday and felt that what the Grand Hua Daoist said was very right. He had also overcome that mental hurdle, so he no longer felt burdened.

A short while later, Su Changyu left the main hall.

He headed towards the back cliff.

At the back cliff.

Ye Ping was still comprehending the sword marks.

Ever since he learned that his talent in the Way of the Sword was average, Ye Ping had been working even harder. If his body could handle it, he would have meditated on the sword marks for twelve hours a day.

However, diligence always paid off.

The Four Thunder Sword Technique had a total of one thousand four hundred and sixty sword moves.

Ye Ping had now comprehended seven hundred and twenty sword moves.

Moreover, his comprehension speed was getting faster and faster. Within three days, he was confident that he could deduce the Four Thunder Sword Technique to the peak of perfection.

It was at this moment that Su Changyu arrived.

"Junior disciple."

Su Changyu appeared, but his expression remained aloof. It wasn't that he was deliberately putting on airs for Ye Ping, but rather that he couldn't bring himself to smile. Facing Ye Ping, he felt pressured now.

"Greetings, Senior Disciple Brother."

When Ye Ping saw Su Changyu arrive, he quickly stood up and bowed.

"Junior disciple, there's no need for such formalities. Although we are not related by blood, we are sworn brothers by joining the same sect. You don't need to worry about these etiquette and rules."

Su Changyu quickly spoke, telling Ye Ping not to bow. He couldn't handle it.

"Senior Disciple Brother is joking. Etiquette is the foundation of being a person. Junior disciple must abide by it."

Ye Ping was unwilling. As the saying goes, 'courtesy' never hurt anyone.

When he was active in literary circles, he praised everyone he met and bowed to everyone, which was how he gained a lot of goodwill.

Su Changyu didn't dwell on the details and just asked subconsciously, "Junior disciple, how many sword moves have you comprehended today?"

He asked this way.

When sword moves were mentioned, Ye Ping felt a little embarrassed.

"From yesterday until now, I've only comprehended up to the seven hundred and twentieth move."

Ye Ping replied.

Su Changyu:

Only seven hundred and twenty moves?

I'm so jealous.

Su Changyu really didn't know how to respond. He felt terrible.

But after thinking about it, Su Changyu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and decided to commit to the act. After all, he had been acting for so many days. If it was discovered, it wouldn't be embarrassing.

With that thought, Su Changyu shook his head.

"There's still a bit of a gap."

Su Changyu said.

As expected, upon hearing this, Ye Ping's expression became slightly dejected, but he quickly asked again.

"Senior Disciple Brother, how many sword moves does one need to comprehend to be considered good? Also, what is this sword technique called?"

Ye Ping asked, as he wasn't sure how many moves were considered satisfactory.

Su Changyu was good at this kind of popular science explanation.

"Junior disciple, listen carefully."

"This set of sword techniques is called the Four Thunder Sword Technique, and it contains four different sword arts: Spring Thunder Sword Art, Summer Thunder Sword Art, Autumn Thunder Sword Art, and Winter Thunder Sword Technique."

"The entire sword technique has a total of one thousand four hundred and sixty moves. If you can comprehend all of them, then this sword technique will have reached the pinnacle of perfection."

"The sword technique is divided into four stages: Initial Insight, Proficient, Great Accomplishment, and Pinnacle of Perfection."

Su Changyu paused here.

"However, reaching the Pinnacle of Perfection is merely the beginning. To achieve the Pinnacle of Perfection in sword techniques, one needs to condense their own Sword Momentum. After condensing Sword Momentum, there is still Sword Intent."

"A truly powerful expert in the Way of the Sword must condense Sword Momentum and Sword Intent. Only after condensing Sword Momentum and Sword Intent can one fuse their essence, energy, and spirit into one. At that point, they can be called a cultivator of the Way of the Sword. Do you understand?"

Su Changyu explained earnestly and meticulously.

In an instant, Ye Ping suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is."

Ye Ping understood and then asked a question that made Su Changyu very awkward.

"Then, Senior Brother, what realm are you at now?"

Ye Ping asked.

This question was indeed awkward.

Su Changyu didn't quite know how to answer.

Would you believe me if I said I'm only at Initial Insight?

After thinking for a moment, Su Changyu took a deep breath and stood with his hands behind his back.

"This senior brother is untalented. Many years ago, I merely stepped into the first level of the legendary Supreme Way of the Sword, Infinite Sword Intent."

Su Changyu didn't dare to be too specific and could only start to fabricate.

"Infinite Sword Intent?"

In an instant, Ye Ping was shocked.

He didn't understand what Infinite Sword Intent meant.

But it sounded very powerful.

Sword moves, Sword Momentum, and finally Sword Intent.

It was difficult to condense even one Sword Intent, let alone Infinite Sword Intent? What kind of concept was that?

"Yes, Infinite Sword Intent. The Way of the Sword, after reaching its peak, will manifest a Supreme Realm. This Supreme Realm is divided into three levels, the first level being Infinite Sword Intent. As the name suggests, it means having countless Sword Intents."

"If you reach this realm, you will be the strongest in the Ten States."

Su Changyu said.

He wasn't completely lying, as this was indeed the Supreme Realm of the Way of the Sword.

However, no one in the entire Qingzhou had achieved it. Jin State hadn't either. In the Ten States, there was one person who had half a foot in the realm of Infinite Sword Intent, and that was the Grand Void Sword Venerable, the strongest swordsman in the Ten States. However, he had only taken half a step, and was still far from true Infinite Sword Intent.

As Su Changyu spoke.

Ye Ping's heart was even more filled with longing.

Infinite Sword Intent?

It sounded incredibly awesome.

Senior Brother had reached this realm many years ago, so perhaps he could also reach this realm in his lifetime.

Wouldn't he then be second in the Ten States? After all, Senior Brother was here.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping became even more excited.

To be honest, being second in the Ten States felt too grand. He would be very satisfied with being first in Qingzhou. Moreover, being second wasn't bad, because if the sky fell, the first person would bear the brunt of it.

"Junior Brother understands. Please rest assured, Senior Brother. Junior Brother will definitely strive to follow in Senior Brother's footsteps and will surely reach Infinite Sword Intent within my lifetime."

Ye Ping said excitedly.

Su Changyu, however, felt uncomfortable.

Because he felt so sour.

But thinking that he was Ye Ping's initial mentor, Su Changyu's mood improved slightly.

"Little Junior Brother, continue to comprehend the sword marks these days. This senior brother will accompany you for the next few days to prevent you from making mistakes."

Su Changyu said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. When Junior Brother achieves success in the future, I will not forget your kindness."

Ye Ping said gratefully.
