Young Man, and You Say You Don't Know Medicine

"Welcome everyone to Mount Penglai for the once-in-a-century Sword Debate. I am Penglai Zi, the guardian of the mountain in this life. I believe everyone here already knows the rules of the Sword Debate, but I would like to add a few words."

The Penglai Sword Debate only tests one's understanding of the Sword Dao, not one's cultivation level or the sharpness of one's divine weapon. Those who come to the stage can only wield the Golden Bamboo Sword. If they encounter someone with a lower cultivation level, they need to suppress their own cultivation level to fight them.

If anyone breaks this rule, don't blame me for being ruthless.

After Penglai Zi finished speaking, he exuded the pressure of the Nirvana Realm, which enveloped the entire mountain and made everyone present tremble.

Fortunately, the oppressive aura emanating from him vanished in an instant, and Penglai Zi returned to his previous ordinary appearance.

After Penglai Zi finished speaking, he leaped up and flew towards the stands not far away, where several elderly men with white hair were sitting.

Although they didn't deliberately exude any imposing aura, just sitting there gave people a feeling of being unapproachable and only able to look up to them.

Wow...

Before Penglai Zi could even sit down, a figure flew onto the arena. He casually grabbed the Golden Bamboo Sword below the arena and began to speak eloquently.

"I Wu Ziyun from Golden Sands Island, and I cultivate the Layered Waves Sword Technique of the Heavenly Sword Dao Path. This sword technique was created by my ancestor, Golden Sands Island Golden Sands Marquis, after observing the overlapping waves. My comprehension is average, and I have already entered the Heavenly Origin Heavenly Origin, but I have only achieved minor mastery of the Layered Waves Sword Intent. I wonder if any fellow Daoist of the Heart Sword Dao Path would be willing to come up and discuss swordsmanship with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout came from the crowd sitting on the Heart Sword Dao side.

"I, Duan Ming Empty Brightness Island, have come to learn from your superior skills!"

Before the words were even finished, a figure stepped through the air and landed on the arena.

Swish!

Duan Ming casually grabbed a golden bamboo sword and said unhurriedly, "The swordsmanship practiced on Empty Brightness Island is the Empty Brightness Sword Dao, which emphasizes a clear mind and a single sword. I happen to have achieved minor mastery of Sword Intent and would like to witness your Layered Waves Sword Intent."

"Good!"

Wu Ziyun agreed without hesitation.

Neither of them unleashed their Heavenly Origin power; instead, they infused their Sword Intent into the golden bamboo, relying on that Sword Intent to fight.

There was no scene of Sword Qi running rampant, nor the powerful pressure of cultivators.

The two on the stage were exchanging blows using only the purest Sword Intent and techniques.

With each swing of Wu Ziyun's Layered Waves Sword Intent, his swordsmanship would become stronger.

Duan Ming's Empty Brightness Sword Intent is such that the less distracting thoughts he has, the stronger his Sword Intent becomes. With each strike, he becomes more and more immersed in the battle, and his sword moves become increasingly sharp.

Even though the two had only achieved minor mastery of Sword Intent, the audience still found the direct clash of their Sword Intent fascinating.

"Interesting, this Penglai Sword Debate is truly fascinating."

Xiao Chen watched the exchange between the two with great interest and said...

Liu Yue'er, who was standing to the side, asked, "Senior Brother, when do you plan to make your move?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "No rush, let's wait for the geniuses of the Thousand Islands Sea to make their move first."

Before he could finish speaking, a sarcastic voice came from the side. "Fellow Daoist, I can tell you're from the Profound Continent. Our disciples from the Thousand Islands Sea may not be as talented or have as many resources as you, but in the art of Sword Dao, we are in no way inferior to the Sword Dao prodigies of your Profound Continent. You'd better be careful."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue'er frowned slightly and looked coldly in the direction from which the voice came, thinking to herself: This local cultivator is rather impolite!

She saw a thin, middle-aged man looking at her and her senior brother with disdain.

"You have quite the audacity. Do you perhaps wish to see the sword in my hand?"

The middle-aged man said arrogantly, "I am a dignified cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Realm, and I have already Greater Accomplishment of Sword Intent. I would never do such a thing as bullying the weak. Of course, if you want to witness my Heaven and Human Unity Sword Intent, I can grant your wish."

"Heaven and Human Unity?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "That is indeed a good method for entering the Dao, but judging from your appearance, it seems you haven't truly grasped the meaning of ' Heaven and Human Unity '."

"You!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he exuded the pressure of the Spirit Nurturing Realm. A sharp Sword Intent emanated from him, as if he wanted to intimidate others with his power.

Just then, the old man beside him spoke up, "Ximen, don't break the rules."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Ye withdrew his imposing aura. He had not come here to contend with these cultivators from the Profound Continent.

He wouldn't have spoken up if that kid hadn't looked down on the sword cultivators of their Thousand Islands Sea.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen didn't say anything more, but simply focused his gaze on the arena.

At that moment, the two fighters on the stage had already decided their victory.

Duan Ming's eyes narrowed, and he thrust his sword at Wu Ziyun's sword.

Clang!

Dao Sword appeared, and Duan Ming's bamboo sword pierced Wu Ziyun's heart.

I lost!

Wu Ziyun slowly sheathed the sword in his hand.

"Thank you for your kind offer."

Duan Ming spoke, he also drew his sword.

The next second, a cheer erupted from the Heart Sword Dao Sect.

A cultivator from the Heavenly Sword Dao side jumped out and challenged the cultivators on the Heart Sword Dao platform, while Duan Ming returned to the platform to rest and recuperate.

A cultivator also landed on the Heart Sword Dao platform and began fighting with a Heavenly Sword Dao cultivator.

The two sides traded blows, engaging in a fierce and lively battle.

The sword cultivators who went on stage were at least at the minor stage of Sword Intent mastery.

On the first day, no cultivators who had Greater Accomplishment of Sword Intent made an appearance, and Xiao Chen and Liu Yue'er showed no intention of making a move.

The next day, cultivators who Greater Accomplishment of Sword Intent took to the stage one after another, and Liu Yue'er also appeared on stage.

She easily defeated a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Dao School and returned to her position.

The moment she stepped off the stage, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Dao School jumped back onto the arena, his gaze falling on the stands where Xiao Chen and the others were.

"I never imagined that after all these years, there would still be so many stubborn fools, deluding themselves into thinking they could cultivate both the Heavenly and the Heart Paths simultaneously. Today, I, Guo Hong of White Cloud Island, will test your Sword Intent. Who among you will fight me?"

As soon as the words were spoken, all eyes turned to Xiao Chen. Everyone present could see that the two had an extraordinary relationship and were clearly from the same sect.

Xiao Chen remained unmoved; he had no reason to bully a mere kid who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Origin Realm in Greater Accomplishment of Sword Intent.

When the crowd saw this, their eyes were filled with disdain.

Seeing this, Ximen Ye sneered, "I thought you were so strong, but it turns out you're just a Little White hiding behind a woman. Just watch how powerful the Heaven and Human Unity of my Ximen Family truly is!"

After saying that, he leaped and flew towards the arena.

Upon hearing this nonsensical remark, Liu Yue'er looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Senior Brother, is this guy crazy?"

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. "Hmm, it seems he's quite ill."

"I didn't expect you to be knowledgeable in medicine."

An aged voice came from not far away. Xiao Chen turned his head and saw that it was the old man who had smoothed Dao Integration over for him yesterday.

Xiao Chen cupped his hands and said, "Replying to Senior, I don't know anything about medicine, but that guy looks like he has a brain disorder. What normal person would look like that?"

The old man paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Young man, you still say you don't understand medicine? That kid Ximen does indeed have a brain disorder, but he's Sword Dao genius in this Thousand Islands Sea, having forged his own path by cultivating both Heavenly Sword Dao and Heart Sword Dao."

Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Senior, if I told you that what I said just now was all nonsense, would you believe me?"

Old man. "..."
