Journey to Sacred Soul Village, Kill Tang San

Journey to Sacred Soul Village, Kill Tang San

Seeing Ling Feng's calm and unruffled demeanor, Qian Daoliu swallowed hard.

He lowered his head to look at the Basic Sword Manual in his hand and could not help but doubt himself again.

Perhaps... perhaps the manual in his hands truly was an peerless sword manual.

It was just that the mysteries within were too profound, and his eyes were not discerning enough to see through them.

Besides, had Ling Feng not just said so?

This manual contained the Sword Intent behind every one of his moves, as well as his understanding of the Sword Dao.

The reason it appeared to be a Basic Sword Manual in his eyes was most likely because he himself had no talent for the Sword Dao.

Qian Daoliu thought to himself, making excuses for Ling Feng.

When Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo heard the Great Enshriner say that this was merely a Basic Sword Manual,

they were utterly bewildered as well, exchanging confused looks.

A Basic Sword Manual?

As a Peerless Sword Immortal, Ling Feng's Sword Dao was unprecedented and would never be surpassed.

How could he possibly possess trash like a Basic Sword Manual?

After exchanging a glance, Ju Douluo and Gui Douluo stepped forward together.

"Great Enshriner, may the two of us take a look at the sword manual?"

Without saying anything, Qian Daoliu directly tossed the sword manual in his hand to Ju Douluo.

Catching the sword manual, Ju Douluo treated it like a priceless treasure.

He carefully held it in both hands as though it were a rare piece of jade, slowly opening it.

As the sword manual gradually opened, Ju Douluo completely held his breath.

His eyes were fixed on its contents without moving, afraid that even a blink might cause him to miss the trace of enlightenment toward the Sword Dao that Ling Feng had hidden within the manual.

The next second, Ju Douluo's expression changed drastically. Holding the manual in both hands, he raised it before his eyes and stared at it with wide eyes.

"What? It really is a Basic Sword Manual!"

Ju Douluo refused to accept that this was merely a Basic Sword Manual.

Like Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, he unwillingly flipped through the manual all the way to the final page.

The moves recorded within were all the most basic: chopping, sweeping upward, lifting, intercepting, pushing, and thrusting!

These basic moves all emphasized the unity of waist and stance, using the body as the foundation and Soul Power as support.

"Old Chrysanthemum, let me see it too." Seeing that something was amiss, Gui Douluo could not help speaking up.

As he spoke, he had already reached out, taken the manual from Ju Douluo, and begun reading it.

After looking through the manual, Gui Douluo wore the exact same stunned expression as Ju Douluo and the others.

Like Ju Douluo, he unwillingly flipped from the first page to the last.

Only then did he confirm that it was indeed an ordinary Basic Sword Manual.

The sword moves inside were all the same basic Sword Styles—chopping, sweeping upward, lifting, intercepting, pushing, and thrusting!

Gui Douluo gave up completely.

With a bang, he shut the manual and returned it to Qian Renxue.

If one person saw it as a Basic Sword Manual, two people saw it as a Basic Sword Manual, three people still saw it as a Basic Sword Manual, and even four people saw it as a Basic Sword Manual.

Then this manual could only be a Basic Sword Manual.

Thus, confusion filled all four of their eyes.

They could not understand what Ling Feng was trying to do.

What was the point of taking out a Basic Sword Manual?

Surely he did not intend to have Qian Renxue cultivate this Basic Sword Manual!

On this point, Qian Daoliu and the others had guessed correctly.

Ling Feng did indeed want Qian Renxue to cultivate this Basic Sword Manual.

The Great Dao was simple. Before absolute strength, all flashy techniques were nothing but illusions.

If Qian Renxue could fully control the Juque Sword, then with its absolutely overwhelming power, using those fancy sword moves would simply be a needless waste.

Basic sword moves were already more than sufficient.

Moreover, these were not ordinary basic Sword Styles, but invincible Sword Styles Ling Feng had distilled through countless practical experiences.

Back then, he had swept across the continent with the Juque Sword, undefeated throughout the world.

He had tried every kind of dazzling sword technique, only to discover in the end that basic sword moves were the best match for the Juque Sword.

That was because basic Sword Styles allowed one to draw the sword the fastest, with no follow-through delay.

With no startup, the sword could be faster.

The faster the sword, the more perfectly it could unleash the Juque Sword's terrifying, extreme power of suppression.

The Juque Sword also possessed a hidden trait.

The higher one's Soul Power, the heavier the Juque Sword became.

Once the Juque Sword's weight exceeded one million tons, it would become the nemesis of every hidden weapon in the world.

That terrifying mass would cause the Juque Sword to actively drag nearby objects toward itself during battle.

Facing the puzzled gazes of Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and the other two, Ling Feng slowly explained.

"This is indeed a Basic Sword Manual."

"However, unlike ordinary Basic Sword Manuals, it is the Juque Sword Manual that I created specifically for the Juque Sword."

"This manual can better and more perfectly bring out the Juque Sword's advantages."

After a pause, Ling Feng worried that Qian Renxue might think he was unwilling to bring out an Advanced Sword Manual.

She might think that he, a dignified Peerless Sword Immortal, was so stingy that he was reluctant to even provide an Advanced Sword Manual.

Thus, he patiently continued explaining.

"It is not that I cannot provide an Advanced Sword Manual."

"If you wish to cultivate an Advanced Sword Manual, I can also give you one that I cultivated in my early years."

As he spoke, Ling Feng made as if to take out an Advanced Sword Manual.

In the end, Qian Renxue accepted his advice.

Rather than choosing an Advanced Sword Manual, she chose this Juque Sword Manual, tailored specifically for the Juque Sword.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had listened to him and chosen the Juque Sword Manual he had carefully prepared for her, Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction.

She was teachable.

"Since you have chosen the Juque Sword Manual, practice it diligently from now on.

My demands of you are not high. Just practice this Sword Art fifty times a day."

Qian Renxue: "????!"

Qian Daoliu: "???!"

Gui Douluo: "??!"

Ju Douluo: "?!"

Fifty times? This Basic Sword Manual had to be practiced fifty times a day?

Upon hearing that, not only was Qian Renxue utterly stunned, even Qian Daoliu and the others' jaws dropped.

Not five times, not ten times, not even fifteen times, but a full fifty times.

It was just a Basic Sword Manual. Was it really necessary to practice it fifty times a day?

"Ling Jianxian, is it really necessary to practice a Basic Sword Manual fifty times a day?"

"I can learn it in just one run-through." Qian Renxue spoke with a proud expression.

Ling Feng shook his head, his voice distant.

"Just practice as I tell you. As your Dao Protector, I will not harm you!"

"Once you practice this Basic Sword Manual fifty times a day and persist for a year, you will be grateful that you persevered today."

After teaching the Juque Sword Manual to Qian Renxue,

Ling Feng thought that the identity of a Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Elder would likely make things much more convenient for him in the future.

Thus, he directly asked Qian Daoliu for the position of a Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Elder.

The Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Elder position Ling Feng requested from Qian Daoliu held authority over Spirit Hall's law enforcement, allowing him to freely appoint or dismiss the Pope without having to obey the Great Enshriner.

After obtaining the identity of a Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Elder, Ling Feng formulated an extremely strict cultivation plan for Qian Renxue.

Then, claiming that he had business to attend to, he rose onto his sword and used Sword Riding Flight to head for Sacred Soul Village.
