Is it too late?
When Yang Zhen said this, the smile on his face was unfathomable, like that of a decrepit old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
How could you possibly comprehend the profound and extensive cultural heritage of my blue planet?
"Little broken sword, solidify!"
Yang Zhen winked at the Sword Spirit, his face full of teasing.
What?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, Luo Shan Yang nearly choked on his own blood.
You also form a shape?
It's just a Sword Spirit, and it has already condensed into the Willow Heart Sword. How could it condense into a physical form again?
Luo Shan Yang was about to scoff when his eye suddenly twitched violently.
The Sword Spirit that had just condensed into the Willow Heart Sword suddenly twisted and transformed into the shape of the Great Deficiency Sword!
"That's impossible!"
Luo Shan Yang stared dumbfounded at the transformed Sword Spirit before him, and roared, "Impossible! You clearly acknowledged me, so why, why do you still acknowledge Yang Zhen?"
"That's a rather unprofessional remark," Yang Zhen shook his head, looking at Luo Shan Yang with some disappointment.
What good is Sword Addict? Aside from some skill in Sword Dao, he has no basic manners.
Who says that if Sword Spirit approves of you, you can't approve of others?
To acknowledge you is to think highly of you; shouldn't you be happy?
Anyway, the Sword Spirit was quite happy and appeared beside Yang Zhen in a flash.
Seeing this, Luo Shan Yang became even more enraged. A burst of light erupted from his Willow Heart Sword, which he pointed at Yang Zhen, and he said, "I am obsessed with the sword and have immersed myself in the way of the Sword Dao for many years. Am I really inferior to the Sword Dao that you have practiced on a whim?"
Yang Zhen sighed, having no intention of arguing with Luo Shan Yang; such Sword Dao was nothing more than a minor art.
Luo Shan Yang, oblivious to his own rage, his hair stood on end, his face contorted with madness. Suddenly, he threw down the Willow Heart Sword in his hand and burst into laughter, appearing completely insane.
In mid-air, the remaining Sword Intent condensed into the shape of Willow Heart Sword, which greatly surprised Yang Zhen.
This Sword Addict truly lives up to his reputation as the Sword Devil's disciple; even under these circumstances, he is still able to unleash such astonishing talent.
No wonder the Sword Spirit has already accepted him. If Yang Zhen hadn't been here today, the Sword Spirit might have been subdued by Luo Shan Yang.
Both Nine Dragons and Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord wore solemn expressions, exchanged a glance, and then turned to look at Luo Shan Yang.
"Sudden enlightenment?" the Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord asked hesitantly.
Nine Dragons nodded and said, "This boy's talent is indeed extraordinary. That old bastard Sword Devil has found a good disciple."
The Heavenly Mountain Holy Lord hesitated for a moment, then looked towards the Sword Devil.
The Sword Devil, dressed in black, showed a satisfied expression, nodded, and said, "No sword in hand, but a sword in heart—this is the highest achievement of Sword Dao. Under pressure, you were able to withstand your Heart Demon and improve your Sword Heart. You have not disappointed my painstaking cultivation."
As Luo Shan Yang laughed heartily, he resembled the Sword Devil in some ways. Every part of his body exuded a Sword Intent, and even the phantom behind him condensed into an enormous Sword-Ray!
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." After laughing, Luo Shan Yang muttered to himself, seemingly mesmerized, staring at the Sword Spirit in front of Yang Zhen and saying, "What does it matter if I have a sword in my heart but no sword in my hand? When I take another step forward, everything can become a sword. Is this talent inferior to the Sword Intent that Yang Zhen has cultivated? He doesn't even have Sword Heart!"
Yang Zhen doesn't even have Sword Heart!
These words struck a chord with everyone, causing them to shudder and turn to look at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen indeed lacked Sword Heart. In fact, everyone had already realized by this time that Yang Zhen had not actually deceived them; he had only just begun practicing swordsmanship.
Luo Shan Yang's displayed talent has already shocked most of the people present.
However, even so, the Sword Spirit simply floated slowly beside Yang Zhen and did not return to Luo Shan Yang's front.
"No, this is impossible!" Luo Shan Yang's face gradually contorted with rage as he stared at the Sword Spirit and said, "This is not fair!"
Everything can be a sword; this is indeed the highest realm of Sword Dao in legend, a point that everyone present either understands or has heard of.
Especially among the sword cultivators present, their greatest goal in this life is to reach the level of Sword Dao attainment of the Sword Devil.
Luo Shan Yang has also been moving in this direction.
But now... it seems the Sword Spirit doesn't care about him at all!
Even the Sword Devil's disciple couldn't surpass the Sword Spirit's recognition of Yang Zhen. How did Yang Zhen manage to do that?
All eyes turned to Yang Zhen, their expressions filled with astonishment and uncertainty. The Sword Devil Demon, in particular, narrowed his eyes almost into sword shapes as he stared at Yang Zhen and asked in a deep voice, "How did you do that?"
Yang Zhen glanced at the Sword Devil and said honestly, "I've already said, I'm only here to subdue the Sword Spirit. I have no intention of competing with you in swordsmanship. Sword Dao... I'm really no good at it!"
A buzzing sound arose from the Sword Spirit, Great Deficiency Sword shone with golden light. For a moment, the entire mountain seemed to be enveloped by the Sword Spirit.
"No, you're lying!" Luo Shan Yang's expression was gloomy as he stared at Yang Zhen and said, "If you don't understand the way of the Sword Dao, why did the Sword Spirit choose you instead of me?"
Yang Zhen casually said, "Because you're wrong!"
Was it wrong?
Upon hearing this, Luo Shan Yang staggered back three steps, as if struck in the chest by a giant hammer. His face turned pale, and he looked at the Sword Devil with a blank expression.
If Yang Zhen had said these words a quarter of an hour ago, Luo Shan Yang would have scoffed at them. But now, the Sword Spirit has chosen Yang Zhen, and when Yang Zhen says these words, it's like a bolt from the blue, striking Luo Shan Yang's heart heavily.
Seeing Luo Shan Yang's eyes flicker and his Heart Demon rising, the Sword Devil snorted coldly and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "Boy, are you doubting me?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shan Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Sword Devil with gratitude.
Luo Shan Yang's Sword Dao was inherited from the Sword Devil. If Yang Zhen said he was wrong, doesn't that mean the Sword Devil was also wrong?
The Sword Devil is the number one Sword Dao in Central Court; who dares to say he's wrong?
The entire mountaintop fell into a deathly silence in an instant. Yang Zhen was the first person to question the Sword Devil.
One is the foremost Sword Dao, the other a young cultivator recognized by the Sword Spirit —who is truly wrong?
Everyone turned to look at Yang Zhen. While beckoning to the Sword Spirit, Yang Zhen shook his head and said to the Sword Devil, "I'm not doubting you, but you're truly wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen felt his sophistication instantly rise to a level of Unity of Heaven and Man.
The Sword Spirit leaped in Yang Zhen's palm like a lively child, transforming into a Little Hua, bright red flower. It appeared devoid of any aura, just like an ordinary Little Hua.
" Sword Intent taking form?" The Sword Devil's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you think that 'everything can be a sword' is incomplete, and that we should also add 'a sword can be everything'?"
Yang Zhen clicked his tongue and said, "What do you mean everything can be a sword? What kind of sword can be anything? Why don't you just fly to the heavens?"
sword!
It's a sword!
A sword is not only a weapon, but also a belief, and even more so, an attitude.
Where are all things?
In Yang Zhen's mind, a sword cannot be anything, and nothing can be a sword.
The sword is everything, and everything is the sword!
Only by truly seeing it as a sword, rather than just a sword, can one truly understand the sword as the king of all weapons!
This is the difference between subjective and objective consciousness. This old geezer clearly doesn't know the difference between philosophy and materialism.
Damn, thank you for the cultural heritage of my blue planet!
