Su Fan was very satisfied with the attitude of Bai Shaokong.
The reason he had revealed his strength was precisely to subdue Bai Shaokong.
For a sword prodigy, for a sword fanatic.
What he was most interested in was the way of the sword!
Bai Shaokong was the current senior brother of Sword God Mountain, and his talent was extremely formidable.
Su Fan needed someone to handle some matters for him, and Bai Shaokong was a perfect fit.
The Nine Heavens Sword Escape could not be passed on to Bai Shaokong; it was a forbidden technique, and in this world, no one but him could cultivate forbidden techniques at will.
As for sword techniques similar to the Nine Heavens Sword Escape, Su Fan did not have any.
But for Su Fan, that was not a problem at all.
He had cultivated so many forbidden techniques, and his own talent was monstrous, not losing to any prodigy.
More importantly, he could achieve enlightenment!
Since there was no cultivation method, he would just enlighten one into existence.
Using the Nine Heavens Sword Escape as a foundation, he would enlighten a version of the Sword Evasion Technique that could be cultivated normally.
Although its power would be much weaker than the Nine Heavens Sword Escape.
It would still be an incredibly powerful Sword Evasion Technique.
"Wait a moment, I will enlighten a Sword Evasion Technique for you."
Su Fan said with a smile.
Bai Shaokong was stunned.
Enlighten a Sword Evasion Technique on the spot?
Enlightenment?
"Brother Su, this enlightenment..."
Enlightenment!
This was a rare opportunity that one could only hope for, not something one could just trigger whenever they pleased!
As a result!
He watched as Su Fan entered a state of enlightenment right then and there.
Bai Shaokong was completely dumbfounded!
"I must be dreaming, how can someone just enter enlightenment whenever they want?"
Slap! Slap!
Bai Shaokong raised his hand and gave himself two more slaps.
And they were even harder than the last two!
Pain!
His face was already swelling up!
Bai Shaokong looked up at the sky, feeling that either he had gone mad, or the world had gone mad!
How could it be possible for someone to enter enlightenment at will?
Su Fan came back to his senses from the enlightenment, appearing in a sage-like state, looking completely indifferent.
"I have some ideas for this Sword Evasion Technique; let me enlighten it a bit more, and it should be just about ready."
As Su Fan spoke, he entered a state of enlightenment once again.
When he used the Heavenly Enlightenment Technique to enter enlightenment, it was different from others; he did not fear interference.
Moreover, even while in enlightenment, he possessed the ability to respond to any danger.
Not to mention, his Heavenly Imperial Sword Armor was running at all times.
Let alone a Spirit Sword Realm cultivator like Bai Shaokong, even if someone from the Void Sword Realm were to attack, they wouldn't be able to harm Su Fan in the slightest.
It was precisely because of this that he entered enlightenment in front of Bai Shaokong without any reservations.
"Enlightened again?"
Bai Shaokong looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling that it wasn't the world that had gone mad.
It was highly likely that he himself had gone mad!
"I must be hallucinating; there is something wrong with my mind!"
Bai Shaokong took out a jade bottle and poured two medicinal pills into his mouth.
It was too terrifying!
No matter how monstrous a prodigy was in this world, it was impossible to enter enlightenment at will!
That was enlightenment!
It's not like eating!
Su Fan woke up from his epiphany for the second time.
Still a little bit off. One more epiphany, and I should be able to perfect it!
Su Fan sighed with emotion.
Even with the Nine Heavens Sword Escape forbidden technique as a reference, creating a powerful Sword Evasion Technique through epiphany was no easy task.
And this was built upon the foundation of his already formidable natural talent.
It was clear that pioneering a powerful cultivation technique was no simple matter.
Su Fan entered his third epiphany.
Bai Shaokong had already gone numb.
He looked as if he had seen it all before.
After a long while, he blurted out, "My Brother Su is just a beast!"
Epiphanies were as simple as eating a meal; there was no one more monstrous than this in the world.
No wonder he didn't care at all when people called him trash.
In Su Fan's eyes, everyone else was probably the trash.
Bai Shaokong was deeply shaken.
Su Fan woke up from his epiphany, exhaled, and said, "The technique is ready."
He looked at Bai Shaokong and said, "I will pass this Sword Evasion Technique to you now. As long as you master it, you will possess speed that surpasses an entire major realm."
Speed that surpasses an entire major realm?
Bai Shaokong was shocked. With his Spirit Sword Realm cultivation, once he mastered it, wouldn't that mean even experts in the Void Sword Realm couldn't catch him?
Or even more, that ordinary Emperor Realm experts wouldn't be able to catch him either?
Bai Shaokong was incredibly excited.
"Brother Su, you are my second master."
"Enough, I'm passing the technique to you now!"
Su Fan cut off his flattery.
Next, Su Fan passed the Sword Evasion Technique he had derived from his epiphany to Bai Shaokong.
It had to be said that for Bai Shaokong to be hailed as a once-in-a-millennium sword prodigy, his talent in the way of the sword was truly astonishing.
His talent was only slightly weaker than Su Fan's current level.
Over half an hour later.
Bai Shaokong had already mastered the basics.
As he moved, his figure flickered like an illusory sword light, his speed beyond imagination.
Of course, it was still far inferior to the forbidden Nine Heavens Sword Escape.
But it was still an extremely powerful Sword Evasion Technique.
After passing on the technique, Su Fan stuffed the bag containing the spiritual items and pills back to Bai Shaokong.
He had no use for these things.
Su Fan never relied on spiritual items or pills for his cultivation.
"Keep my affairs low-key, understand?"
Su Fan cautioned.
"Yes, Brother Su!"
Bai Shaokong replied with a serious expression.
"There are some things I need you to handle."
Su Fan said, lost in thought.
"Just say the word, Brother Su, I will definitely get it done."
Bai Shaokong grinned viciously, "I'll go kill that man in the black robe. The little brat dared to target my Brother Su; he's courting death!"
Su Fan shook his head and said, "Do your best to find out who ordered him to kill me. I will deal with them later."
"Understood!"
Bai Shaokong nodded.
Su Fan looked out toward the Cliff of Reflection with deep eyes and said, "Go investigate whether there is a hidden motive behind Wu Aoxue of the Tianwu Royal Estate calling off our engagement."
"Additionally, investigate the Gan Royal Estate and see if there is anything unusual about them."
Bai Shaokong nodded, indicating he understood.
Su Fan pondered for a moment and added, "If possible, check if my mother really passed away."
Bai Shaokong was taken aback, casting a surprised glance at Su Fan.
"No problem!"
He nodded solemnly.
Su Fan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember, you must not alert the enemy. Keep a low profile. Regardless of whether you find anything or not, you must not reveal that I am the one investigating."
"Don't worry, Brother Su, I know what to do."
Bai Shaokong nodded.
"Alright, you can go back now."
Su Fan waved his hand.
"Yes, Brother Su, wait for my good news!"
Bai Shaokong nodded earnestly and turned to leave.
Su Fan's gaze was deep; the appearance of Bai Shaokong counted as an unexpected turn of events.
It was the perfect opportunity to investigate the connection between the annulled engagement, his expulsion, and the assassins in advance.
As the senior brother of Sword God Mountain, Bai Shaokong was worth cultivating, regardless of his status or talent.
"The man in the black robe..."
Su Fan muttered to himself.
To kill him, this person had actually paid such a heavy price.
Refusing to give up until he was dead—what kind of reason was hidden behind this?
"I'll let you live for a few more days!"
Su Fan sneered.
