A season of troubles

Upon hearing Zhou Wuji express his love for Swordsmanship, True Person Zhihua's radiant face beamed with an even brighter smile.

Using this excuse to learn Swordsmanship is truly audacious; it's astonishing that Zhou Wuji even came up with it and had the audacity to say it.

True Person Zhihua said, "Even among the disciples of my Yuheng Lineage, the number of Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword that can be cultivated is limited."

"You have mastered four styles of the Big Dipper Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword, which surpasses most of the Yuheng Sword cultivators."

The Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword Technique is so complex and profound that it is impossible for ordinary sword cultivators to master it completely.

Generally, tests are conducted when beginners start learning, and one or two Swordsmanship are chosen that best suit them for practice.

Only when one's skill level is high enough will one begin to study other Swordsmanship.

Zhou Wuji's mastery of the Four Paths of the Big Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword is already quite rare among the Wu generation in the Upper Court.

Each Swordsmanship of the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword has its own variations, and the cultivation paths differ greatly.

It doesn't mean that the more Swordsmanship techniques you practice, the stronger your Swordsmanship will be.

With more Law Technique, there are even more variations; Swordsmanship, on the other hand, emphasizes refinement and purity.

Zhou Wuji understood what True Person Zhihua meant. He said, "I have diligently practiced the Swordsmanship that True Person taught me day and night, and have made some progress. Only then did I dare to seek True Person to learn swordsmanship."

"Some progress has been made."

True Person Zhihua became interested. "If you can withstand one of my moves, I will teach you another Swordsmanship."

She knew that Zhou Wuji was extremely skilled in the Army-Breaking Sword technique, but the Tianxuan and Tianquan Quan Swordsmanship that she later taught were extremely complex and subtle, each with its own variations, and were quite different from the Army-Breaking and Tianji techniques.

The Tianquan Sword, in particular, requires wisdom to control the sword, making it the most troublesome to cultivate.

She learned the Tianquan Sword from Zhou Wuji in July, which is only two months ago. She doesn't quite believe that Zhou Wuji has also made any progress with the Tianquan Sword.

Zhou Wuji had only intended to give it a try, True Person Zhihua had actually given him the opportunity, he naturally didn't hesitate. "Please enlighten me True Person."

"You're still so confident..."

True Person Zhihua found it even more amusing. She pinched her left middle and index fingers into a sword-like gesture and casually pointed it at Zhou Wuji.

There were five steps between them. Naturally, True Person Zhihua's finger could not touch Zhou Wuji, but a crystal-clear Sword-Ray flickered and shone from her fingertip, enveloping Zhou Wuji's entire body.

This was Zhou Wuji's first time exchanging blows with Third Rank True Person, and he immediately felt the power of True Person Zhihua.

The Sword-Ray that flickers from the fingertips is like an invisible divine sword, capable of dozens of transformations in an instant.

To be precise, there are a total of seventy-two variations.

Zhou Wuji understood that this was a question posed by True Person Zhihua. Only by accurately calculating all the changes in the Sword Qi could he know the final point where the Sword Qi would land and make the most suitable response.

Fortunately, his Tianquan Sword had reached its peak, and with the aid of the Mind Mirror, he was able to make precise calculations instantly.

He also extended his sword finger and made a sweeping motion in front of him. The Sword Qi was activated by the sword finger and transformed into a perfect rotating sword circle, which was the transformation of the Tianxuan Sword.

With a hiss, the Sword-Ray pierced the swirling Sword Qi, shattering the spinning Sword Qi and dissipating the Sword-Ray.

True Person Zhihua raised his long eyebrows and praised, "Tianquan and Tianxuan have both reached such a level, truly remarkable!"

The Tianquan Sword requires wisdom to wield, demanding extremely high intelligence and a talent for swordsmanship.

Although there are many sword cultivators in the Yuheng Lineage, few have achieved anything significant with the Tianquan Sword.

Although Zhou Wuji's Tianquan Sword was limited to the Fifth Rank, his ability to reach such a level was still enough to make him stand out among all the disciples of the Yuheng Wu generation.

Not to mention that Zhou Wuji has only been training for two months, yet his talent is simply terrifying.

Faced with True Person Zhihua's praise, Zhou Wuji chuckled, "I do have some talent in swordsmanship, and I've worked hard enough."

True Person Zhihua pondered for a moment and said, "With your talent, you should truly join my Yuheng. Once you've mastered the Seven Big Dipper Seven Stars Paths Swordsmanship Technique, you can begin cultivating the Northern Pole Sword."

"If one can master the Northern Pole Sword, one will surely advance to the First Rank. At that time, the position of sect leader will be easily within one's grasp."

Zhou Wuji chuckled dryly. True Person Zhihua had said the same thing before, but this time, the meaning was different.

It was clearly True Person Zhihua had this idea, prompting him to give up the competition for the sect leader's True Disciple and instead focus on practicing swordsmanship.

Whether it's ancient texts or the Zhiyuan opinion, it's generally acknowledged that the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder is the strongest.

Looking at the past leaders of the Northern Pole Sect, none of them were originally Yuheng Sword cultivators.

It is clear that while sword cultivators are powerful, they are ultimately not well-rounded. At the highest level, the weaknesses of sword cultivators become increasingly apparent.

If he only wanted to become the sect leader and First Rank Celestial Master, this path would certainly be faster.

But his ambition was to ascend to immortality, and focusing on sword practice was a shortcut to quick success for him. It was fast, but it deviated from the true path.

Zhou Wuji bowed deeply. "True Person, I do not wish to be a traitor. The sect leader's True Disciple are the only righteous path I can choose."

True Person Zhihua Zhou Wuji's talent, joining the Yuheng Lineage would surely revitalize Yuheng and, in turn, the Northern Pole Sect.

What a pity...

She couldn't help but sigh softly, "I've always disapproved of the infighting among the seven factions, and I pride myself on being unbiased, but this time I can't help but feel a bit selfish."

Zhou Wuji earnestly agreed, "Everyone has selfish desires, but some people are all selfish, while others will not let personal interests interfere with public duty. Such people can already be called wise."

"You know how to talk." True Person Zhihua was quite pleased with the flattery. She glanced at Zhou Wuji and found the boy increasingly pleasing to the eye.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll teach you another Tianshu Sword."

Zhou Wuji: "I will never forget the kindness of the True Person in passing on his sword skills."

True Person Zhihua didn't bother to respond. With a casual flick of her finger, the Fifth Rank- grade Tianshu Sword entered Zhou Wuji's sea of consciousness.

Zhou Wuji then saw the light and shadow transform into True Person Zhihua, who explained to him the various changes of the Tianshu Sword.

After he had read through the sword manual, he discovered that True Person Zhihua had already left.

This True Person is really carefree, just leaving him here like that, not afraid anyone will harm him...

Zhou Wuji returned to his room and, disregarding everything else, took a Grain Avoidance Pill and immediately immersed himself in practicing the Tianshu Sword.

The Tianshu Sword is the first Swordsmanship of the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword, and its importance surpasses that of the other six techniques.

He had already mastered the four forms of the Big Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword, and when he practiced the Tianshu Sword, he felt even more the importance of the Tianshu Sword.

The Tianshu Sword is the central hub for all Swordsmanship Sword Qi transformations, and it also possesses the mysterious power of the Greedy Wolf to devour everything.

The more Zhou Wuji studied, the more he realized that the Tianshu Sword was far superior to all other Swordsmanship.

The Northern Dipper Tianshu Sword also subtly corresponds to the Northern Dipper Tianshu Scripture.

This is normal, since they are all Northern Pole Sect sects and are closely related to each other.

Or, to put it another way, the Northern Dipper Tianshu Scripture is the foundation of all the methods of the Northern Pole Sect. The entry methods of the other six schools are actually also based on the Tianshu Scripture, only with slightly different focuses on the path of cultivation.

Zhou Wuji estimated that once he mastered the Sword Spirit, cultivating any Swordsmanship would be extremely easy.

With his profound Swordsmanship and the blessing of the Tianquan Sword, cultivating the Tianshu Sword wouldn't be too difficult for him.

He has plenty of time and can practice on his own. However, to achieve a high level of mastery in Swordsmanship, he would need at least two or three years.

Realizing this, Zhou Wuji abandoned his own cultivation plans and directly added a three-ounce and three-qian Origin Profound Spirit to his cultivation.

When the purple light dissipated, the Tianshu Sword had reached a level of proficiency.

Zhou Wuji drew his White Rainbow Sword and practiced the Tianshu Sword technique in the open space of the room.

The sword techniques of Tianshu Sword are very simple, consisting of only seven moves, all of which are the simplest sword techniques. To put it bluntly, they are nothing more than slashing, thrusting, washing, parrying, blocking, and wiping, a total of seven basic Swordsmanship techniques.

Anyone who learns swordsmanship, regardless of the specific Swordsmanship they practice, will use these basic sword techniques.

The seven basic sword techniques of the Tianshu Sword are nothing special; the key is the corresponding Sword Qi changes and basic Qi Refining methods that correspond to the seven basic sword techniques.

In this respect, the Tianshu Sword can also be called the mother sword of the Northern Dipper Seven Star Sword.

Normally, Yuheng Sword cultivators must first learn the Tianshu Sword when learning swordsmanship.

True Person Zhihua is only now passing on the Tianshu Sword, which is actually the wrong order in terms of learning swordsmanship.

Fortunately, his Swordsmanship was based on the Xiaoxiang Sword, which was already incredibly profound, so learning the Tianshu Sword later on had no impact.

The application of basic sword techniques and basic Sword Qi in the Tianshu Sword opened a window for him, allowing him to see another path in Swordsmanship.

If you master the basic sword skills, you will naturally be able to integrate and master all Swordsmanship techniques.

By mastering the basic Sword Qi to its ultimate level, one will naturally master all the advanced variations of Sword Qi.

On the other hand, the Tianshu Sword can also strengthen one's foundation.

The Tianshu Sword is worth investing in!

Zhou Wuji still had a six-tael and five-qian destiny chart, which was provided by that Fourth Rank barbarian. He had kept it and hadn't been willing to use it.

Once he enters the Heavenly Pillar Treasure Light Grotto-Heaven to cultivate, he can use it to upgrade the Tianshu Sword.

With higher cultivation, obtaining a six-ounce destiny will be much easier.

Zhou Wuji did not rush to enter Heavenly Pillar Treasure Light Grotto-Heaven, mainly waiting for news from Yizhen and Wuming.

According to the agreement, they should have come to the Upper Court in June or July. But there has been no news, and no one knows what happened that delayed them.

Two days later, special envoys Yuan Zhifeng and Zhichong left Jingyang, and Zhou Wuji even went to the dock to see them off.

In front of the cultivators from the Greater Yin, Lesser Yin, Lesser Yang, and Pure Yang sects, Zhichong held Zhou Wuji's hand intimately for a while before boarding the ship and leaving.

All the cultivators understood that this was a special envoy from the Heavenly Master's Manor expressing their high regard for Zhou Wuji.

Most of the cultivators from various sects were seeing Zhou Wuji for the first time, and they were all quite curious about this renowned Sword Lord Xiaoxiang from Jingyang.

Seeing Zhou Wuji's extraordinary demeanor, standing out like a crane among chickens among the crowd of cultivators, many cultivators, though not saying it aloud, secretly felt that this young man was indeed good-looking, and the title of Sword Lord was not entirely undeserved...

Through this meeting, Zhou Wuji's name, if not officially recognized, has at least become widely known among cultivators of various sects.

Even Zhihe, the abbot of the Cloud Dragon Lower Court, had heard of Zhou Wuji's fame in Jingyang.

On this day, Yizhen brought Wuming and the others to the Lower Court. Zhihe had no relationship with Yizhen, he still personally entertained Yizhen out of respect for Zhou Wuji.

Upon learning that Yizhen had advanced to the Fifth Rank and was going to the Upper Court to receive his ordination, Zhihe's attitude became even more intimate.

"Fellow Daoist, there have been many Devil Cultivator active in Yunyang recently, causing quite a bit of trouble. The journey to Jingyang is long, so please be extra careful..."

Daoist Yizhen nodded. "Thank you for the reminder, Abbot. I will be careful. But why are there Devil Cultivator causing trouble again?"

The Daoist Zhihe sighed, "These are truly turbulent times!"

He then explained, "It should be related to the Five Dragons Gang. This time, the Devil Cultivator are quite powerful and particularly hostile to us Northern Pole cultivators. Fellow Daoist, you must not underestimate them..."
