Black Crane's whole body froze suddenly, and the anger on his face was instantly stuck in his throat. Most of the anger in his heart was suddenly dispersed by these words.
He looked back at Zhou Qi, who was shaken by the pressure just now.
After a long silence, he finally sighed helplessly and suddenly turned his palms over.
A simple and thick booklet with dark gold lines appeared quietly in his palm.
"It's a good seedling."
"I watch you use the sword, so I will give you a sword practice book."
Black Crane held the booklet in his hand and solemnly warned Zhou Qi, with a hint of resentment in his tone:
"Practice in Daoism is not just about fighting and killing. Humanity and worldliness, the choice of advancement and retreat, are also the foundation of the Tao. You are extremely talented. Don't be like your master, who is so arrogant and stubborn and loves to fight bravely!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his wrist, and the sword technique booklet turned into a stream of light and landed accurately in the hands of Zhou Qi.
Then Black Crane said no more, snorted again, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, swayed, and tore apart the space.
In the small courtyard, silence returned.
Zhou Qi quickly lowered his head and looked at the ancient sword manual in his palm.
The next second, the familiar system prompts suddenly sounded in my mind, very clear.
[Detected that Cultivation Method can be learned: Upper Earth Grade--<Jingzhe Twelve Slashes>]
[Cultivation Method grade: Upper Earth Grade]
[Cultivation Method Characteristics: Unparalleled domineering, capable of splitting mountains and domes, defeating all methods, specializing in killing and breaking momentum, suitable for high-level fighting]
Zhou Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly amazed.
It is worthy of being treasured by the Supreme Elder. The meeting gift given casually is actually a real copy of Upper Earth Grade Sword Techniques!
Fu Linyuan glanced sideways at Zhou Qi beside him, with a solemn look on his face. He pondered for a moment and then spoke:
"Disciple, my teacher will use this scene to teach you a core principle of self-cultivation."
Zhou Qi was startled when he heard this. He immediately suppressed the joy of harvesting Cultivation Method in his heart and quickly put <Jingzhe Twelve Slashes> properly into Storage Bag. With a straight posture, he bowed and clasped his fists. "Master, please give me some advice!"
Fu Linyuan stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, raising his eyes to look at the surging sea of clouds. His voice was cold and sonorous, and every word was resounding. "The foundation of cultivating the road and establishing oneself has always been the majestic fighting spirit and the momentum to break the situation."
He paused slightly and said frankly, "To tell you the truth, in terms of my cultivation background, I am indeed a little inferior to Black Crane.
He has been in charge of the sect for hundreds of years and Dao Foundation is solid and solid. If I really try my best to fight to the end, I am not absolutely sure of victory."
"But he is very angry and has too many worries in his heart." Fu Linyuan's lips passed through a cold arc, and his tone was extremely domineering.
"And I have experienced thousands of battles, and my sword spirit and fighting spirit are all forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
"This alone is enough for me to suppress him and force him to give in and compromise!"
He lowered his eyes and looked at Zhou Qi, his eyes as sharp as a sword, pointing directly at the essence of the avenue:
"Don't listen to that old man's lies."
"The sophistication he talks about is always just a self-protection tactic for the weak and an excuse for mediocrity to remain stubborn."
"You and I are cultivating the Metal Element way of killing, aiming to reach the top, seeking to be the master of the road, and walking on an invincible and smooth road!" Fu Linyuan's voice became more and more fierce, and his aura was fully activated.
"There is no need to compromise and adapt to the secular world. If you can't stand it, fight if you can. If you can't fight, just run away!"
He stared into Zhou Qi's eyes and said in a solemn and stern tone, "Have you remembered?"
Zhou Qi stood quietly, listening to the master's deafening words deep in his heart, and his mind was instantly filled with confusion.
After a while, Zhou Qi bowed respectfully. "Disciple, please follow the teachings!"
Fu Linyuan is right, Black Crane and the two of them have different paths.
One is soft and the other is hard, two completely different concepts of spiritual practice.
You have to walk your own path with your own heart.
Time passed, Zhou Qi passed Heavenly Sword Peak for three days.
Qing Ya has been accompanying him these days, traveling all over Heavenly Sword Peak's territory, explaining to him in detail the rules of the peak, the distribution of dojos, and the resources for practice.
The territory of Heavenly Sword Peak is vast beyond imagination, covering almost half of the Great Yong Dynasty. The sea of clouds stretches for thousands of miles, and strange peaks are suspended at random.
The entrances to various dojos are scattered among the mountains and seas of clouds, and some places are extremely far apart from each other. Normally, a disciple would have to gallop through the air for several hours just to go back and forth.
Precisely because of its vast territory and sparse dojos, the entire Heavenly Sword Peak appears quiet and empty all year round, with little hustle and bustle from other peaks.
In the afternoon of this day, Qing Ya took Zhou Qi into a giant stone field built against the mountain.
The young man Shi Jian in the field is as hard as steel, and the ground is covered with dense sword marks and marks, staggered in depth and shallow, which are the traces left by the disciples of the past generations who have been fighting and practicing swordsmanship for many years, and the heavy killing atmosphere is blowing towards his face.
"This is Heavenly Sword Peak Martial Training Hall." Qing Ya stopped and stood, looking at the disciples practicing martial arts in the field, and slowly spoke,
"Working behind closed doors will never achieve great things. As a practitioner, no matter how solid your cultivation level is Cultivation Method, if you don't have solid practical experience, you will easily be helpless in a life-and-death fight, and you will be stuck in a realm bottleneck and it will be difficult to break through."
"If you have free time in the future, you can come here often to hone yourself."
At this moment, in Martial Arts Arena, more than ten disciples in white were sparring in pairs, and the sound of swords clashing was endless, Sword Qi criss-crossed.
The news of Peak Master accepting a direct disciple spread throughout Heavenly Sword Peak. Seeing Zhou Qi arrive at the scene, all the disciples sheathed their swords and stopped, and dozens of eyes fell on Zhou Qi.
Some are curious, but some are a little hostile.
Qing Ya had known this would happen, and introduced to Zhou Qi in a low voice, "Heavenly Sword Peak is different from other main peaks. It never recruits too many disciples. There are no more than a hundred disciples in the whole peak, including you and me."
He paused and continued, "Those who can stay in Heavenly Sword Peak and take root in practice must have a minimum cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Their foundation, character, and talent are all top-notch in the sect.
Over the years, Peak Master has been in seclusion all year round, not caring about secular matters, and has long since stopped recruiting disciples in person. Some of the disciples in the peak are the disciples of the two elders Chen Kun and Wu Qingfeng, and some are inner disciple who were selected from the peak."
"Two elders?" Zhou Qi asked.
"Exactly." Qing Ya nodded in agreement, with a hint of respect in his tone, "Elder Chen Kun and Elder Wu Qingfeng, both of them are Spirit Transformation Peak's top cultivators.
Looking at the other five main peaks of the Primordial Immortal Sect, with their cultivation background, they are completely enough to lead the peak alone and take the position of Peak Master.
It's just that the two of them were originally from Heavenly Sword Peak and couldn't bear to leave, so they took the position of elders. The daily operation of the entire Heavenly Sword Peak, including disciple scheduling and resource allocation, are all coordinated and controlled by the two elders."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly and kept this information in his heart. Just as he was about to ask the two elders about their practice path and behavior style, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, walking slowly from the stone steps on the other side of Martial Arts Arena.
Liu Ying.
He was dressed in neat black attire, with a tall and straight posture and a calm breath. He was followed by three junior disciples from the same sect. They were chatting and laughing in low voices, walking calmly and looking relaxed.
The four eyes faced each other, and their eyes suddenly collided in mid-air.
