After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 875 Chen Yang's Swordsmanship Talent, Huanglong Daoist's Request!
The sword intent is passed on!

"boom!"

Chen Yang felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.

It was as if my consciousness was forcibly pulled into an unknown world in an instant.

Boundless sword intent fell like a gentle rain!
If you look closely, under the moonlight, in Chen Yang's deep, pool-like eyes, countless sword lights flashed, like a slideshow. Countless sword styles and moves, along with some of Yu Huaizhen's personal insights into the Azure God Sword Technique, were transmitted to Chen Yang through sword intent.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chen Yang was completely immersed in the world of sword intent, carefully observing the sword intent and sword moves that Yu Huaizhen had passed on to him.

It was like watching a movie, or like playing a leading role myself. I experienced Yu Huaizhen's swordplay demonstration from a subjective perspective, and the sword moves and intent were deeply imprinted in my mind.

……

I don't know how much time passed; maybe a minute, or maybe several hours.

When Chen Yang woke up, the moon had set in the west, and the only sounds in the forest were the chirping of unknown insects.

Under the moonlight, Yu Huaizhen meditated and regulated her breathing in the shadows of the trees to the north.

"senior."

Chen Yang called out.

Yu Huaizhen opened her eyes, her face showing obvious signs of fatigue.

Directly transferring sword intent is already second only to the "enlightenment" method of transferring power within the Xuanmen sect.

This action would greatly deplete one's mental energy, especially since it involved transmitting the highest-level and top-tier sword techniques in the Azure God Sword Technique. Even though Yu Huaizhen was a Dao True Realm expert, it would still be extremely taxing on him.

Such a method of transmission is rarely enjoyed even by true disciples. It can be said that Yu Huaizhen set a precedent for Chen Yang.

Yu Huaizhen stood up and focused her gaze on Chen Yang. "How do you feel about how much you've grasped?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang thought carefully for a moment and said, "The Azure God Sword Technique is profound and complex. I am but a dullard and I am afraid that I have only grasped about 20% of it."

"Ah."

Yu Huaizhen nodded. "Back then, when my Uncle Feng Lingzi passed on this sword technique to me, I only grasped about 20% of it on the spot. You're quite good."

These words sounded like a compliment to Chen Yang, but they also sounded like a compliment to himself.

Is 20% really that impressive?

Chen Yang paused, thinking he had been humble enough.

Before Chen Yang could say more, Yu Huaizhen said, "You can study and comprehend it more carefully later. All I can do is guide you through the basics. Your future cultivation will depend on yourself. This sword technique consumes a great deal of your primordial spirit energy, so you must be careful when using it and leave yourself some reserves..."

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Yang expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Yu Huaizhen said, "Now, while no one is around, you can try practicing it. Strike while the iron is hot, and you might even deepen your understanding of this sword technique."

"it is good."

Even without Yu Huaizhen's reminder, Chen Yang was already eager to try out the sword technique.

Chen Yang immediately turned around.

He clenched his right hand with two fingers together, channeling his sword intent.

"call……"

The branches and leaves in the forest seemed to be summoned by something, moving and rustling even without wind.

The true essence within the body transformed into sword energy, which, with the support of the primordial spirit's energy, suddenly burst forth.

Chen Yang stood straight, like a sharp sword, its edge fully revealed.

"Shh!"

He pointed his sword into the air.

"Susususu..."

The sword energy emanated outwards, forming a hurricane. Fallen leaves in the forest and new leaves on the trees were swept up by the sword energy and suddenly shot into the sky.

In an instant, a sword shadow more than ten meters long condensed in the air, tens of meters high.

His sword intent was powerful and overwhelming, dominating all directions.

Falling Sword Technique!
"Rumble..."

With a loud bang, the shadow of the giant sword suddenly fell.

A shockwave struck the ground first, followed by a sudden gust of wind that swept in all directions, causing Chen Yang and his companion's clothes to flutter wildly.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the sword shadow fell, striking the very stone where Chen Yang had just been meditating.

There was a boom.

The stone suddenly shattered.

The pebbles shot in all directions, and the trunks of several trees not far away were instantly riddled with holes.

The leaves and branches caught in the sword's shadow also exploded.

The leaves carried a sword-like aura, sharp as swords.

shhhhhh...

Within a radius of more than ten meters, the ground was instantly scraped away by the sword energy carried by the leaves.

Strong, indeed strong.

Although he had seen many people use this move, he personally experienced the power of the sword technique when he used it himself.

The sword intent locks onto the target, and the powerful sword momentum is like Mount Tai pressing down, making the opponent unable to move and only able to passively parry the attack. The damage is concentrated, but the range is also quite large.

That sword strike was probably too much for even a mid-stage Creation Realm cultivator to withstand. As for a late-stage Creation Realm cultivator, unless they were physically strong, they would likely suffer some injury if they tried to withstand it.

The key is that the greater the true essence and primordial spirit energy invested in this sword technique, the greater its power. He didn't use his full strength just now; at most, he used one-tenth of his power.

……

Is it really that round?

Little did they know, Yu Huaizhen, standing beside them, was staring wide-eyed.

"Young friend Chen Yang, are you sure this is the first time you've used this sword technique?" Yu Huaizhen asked.

“A few days ago, Elder Wu said he would teach me this sword technique. However, this sword technique is a closely guarded secret of Qing Shen Mountain. Without Qing Shen’s permission, I naturally could not steal it. This is indeed the first time I have used it.”

Chen Yang had no reason to lie to him about something like this.

Upon hearing this, Yu Huaizhen was genuinely a little unsettled.

The first time I used the Falling Sword Technique, I controlled the sword, condensed the sword, and dropped the sword in one smooth motion, without any hesitation. The process was seamless, and the force was controlled perfectly. You call this only understanding 20%?

"How about the Myriad Swords Technique? Shall we try it?" Yu Huaizhen immediately suggested.

Perhaps, of the several sword techniques, he only grasped the Falling Sword Technique and didn't grasp the others at all, which could be considered as only grasping 20%.

Chen Yang thought he was testing him, so he didn't hold back and directly used the Myriad Swords Technique.

The Myriad Swords Technique is different from the Falling Sword Technique. If the Falling Sword Technique is a single-target attack, then the Myriad Swords Technique is an area-of-effect attack.

The Myriad Swords Technique is a level more difficult than the Falling Sword Technique; the most important aspect is the condensation of the primordial spirit into a sword.

The requirements for the condensation of each sword and the control of each sword are very high.

Condensing and controlling one sword is easy, ten swords are also easy, but condensing and controlling one hundred or one thousand swords at the same time is exponentially more difficult.

Not only are the requirements for the primordial spirit almost abnormal, but the requirements for comprehension are also extremely high.

Even Yu Huaizhen, who has cultivated this sword technique for many years, can only condense and control 1832 sword energies of true essence at the same time when using this sword technique.

A few thousand might sound like a small number, but in reality, when they fly, there are huge flocks of them.

When the swordsmanship was unleashed, one or two thousand sword shadows flew about, and the scene could only be described as spectacular.

However, it should be noted that this sword technique is known as the Ten Thousand Swords Technique.

Ten thousand is ten thousand, one hundred thousand is ten thousand, one million and ten million are also ten thousand. One or two thousand is not the limit at all, but just the beginning.

When used to kill groups of people, this sword technique is incredibly powerful.

Chen Yang stood still, gathered his strength for a moment, and then his sword intent surged forth once more.

Under the control of the primordial spirit energy, the true essence within the body rapidly transforms into sword energy and is released outwards. The sword moves at will, instantly condensing into sword shadows in the void.

One, two, three...

Ten, twenty, thirty...

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

……

Everything was completed in the blink of an eye, and when he condensed 650 handles, Chen Yang felt the strain.

This difficulty wasn't because he couldn't continue condensing swords, but because his primordial spirit was severely depleted; these 650 swords had consumed almost half of his primordial spirit energy.

In terms of control, he has no problem. If his primordial spirit energy is sufficient, he can continue to condense the sword.

After all, he is capable of multitasking and cultivating two different techniques simultaneously, giving him a significant advantage in terms of control.

"Okay, that's enough..."

Seeing this, Yu Huaizhen seemed completely convinced and quickly stopped Chen Yang.

He thought that Chen Yang's first use of the Myriad Swords Technique would be good enough if he could condense dozens of swords, but he never expected him to be able to do this.

Hundreds of swords—it's quite a sight. If they were to fall, most of this forest would be destroyed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang did not unleash the sword light. Instead, he waved his hand, and the countless sword lights quickly vanished. "Senior, this sword technique is indeed too taxing on your primordial spirit."

Chen Yang let out a long sigh, guided his qi back to its source, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

It is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of resources.

One move and you've exhausted yourself. If you can't handle your opponent, you'll be on the defensive from here on out.

Yu Huaizhen nodded slightly. "That's how swordsmanship is. It has almost no upper limit, and its power can be freely controlled. I see that your understanding of these two sword techniques is more than 20%, probably at least over 50%. You are indeed a good prospect. It's a pity that you were given to Emei..."

If one could join the Qing Shen Sect, it would probably take only a few years to elevate the Qing Shen lineage's reputation to a new level...

What a wonderful child, but unfortunately, he belongs to someone else.

Yu Huaizhen shook his head repeatedly, feeling only regret.

Chen Yang laughed and said, "Senior, didn't you say that both Mount Emei and Mount Qingshen belong to Mount Shu?"

Yu Huaizhen was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter, "Yes, you're right!"

"This sword technique has great potential. Your comprehension is quite high. You don't need to practice the later sword moves and formations anymore. Just study them more in the future, and you will naturally grasp their essence..."

"Furthermore, as I said before, do not easily spread this sword technique. Its power is too great; if it were passed on to someone of questionable character, it would be a grave sin..."

"Things here are settled. The Gu family has arrived in Qingshen. I should go back tomorrow to check on them. If you have any questions about swordsmanship in the future, you can come to Qingshen Mountain to find me..."

"Can I come if I have no questions?"

"Haha, of course, this humble Taoist priest welcomes you warmly."

……

-

The next day.

Yu Huaizhen has left.

Master Yunting and his companions rarely visited Sichuan, so they weren't in a hurry to leave.

It is said that the monk Xuantong knew they were coming and had already emerged from seclusion, preparing to discuss the Dao with Yunting and others at Tianhua Temple.

Once they reach their level, the late stage of the Dao True Realm, the next step is the Celestial Realm.

However, this path is blocked, and their methods for improving their strength are very limited. One of the effective methods is for cultivators of the same level to sit together, discuss the Dao, and verify their cultivation insights.

At their level, they are all patriarchs of their respective sects, so opportunities to get together are rare.

"Did Master Yu teach you swordsmanship?"

After seeing Yu Huaizhen off, Zhou Mingyuan and Chen Yang took a walk in the temple.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang looked at Zhou Mingyuan in astonishment.

Zhou Mingyuan laughed, "When we were having breakfast in the cafeteria today, Master Yu praised you to the skies, saying how incredibly talented you are in swordsmanship. This Azure God Sword Technique is no simple matter; there aren't many people who receive such high praise from him..."

Chen Yang joked, "Elder Zhou, you are the Sword Immortal of Longquan Mountain, your swordsmanship must be extremely high, right? Master Yu is so straightforward, passing on his swordsmanship to me, aren't you going to show your appreciation?"

"what."

Zhou Mingyuan chuckled, "You should first master the Azure God Sword Technique that Master Yu taught you. Trying to do too much at once will only result in biting off more than you can chew. When learning swordsmanship, the most important thing is sword intent. Sword techniques are just an aid; sword intent is the foundation..."

"In short, it all boils down to one word: stingy."

"Ha, you little rascal, you've even learned to tease me now..."

"Hey."

Chen Yang smiled honestly, "Does that mean that once I've mastered the Azure God Sword Technique, I'll come back to you, Elder Zhou, and you'll be willing to give me your guidance?"

“Let’s talk about it when you’ve mastered it. But then again, this Azure God Sword Technique is no weaker than the sword technique I practice. If you can truly master it, you probably won’t care about my meager skills,” Zhou Mingyuan said.

Chen Yang, however, disagreed.

Zhou Mingyuan is known as the Sword Immortal of Longquan, which is enough to prove his mastery of swordsmanship. Putting aside everything else, he is definitely above Yu Huaizhen.

After all, Yu Huaizhen was only at the early stage of the Dao True Realm, and he was far inferior to Zhou Mingyuan in terms of both realm and age and experience.

Unfortunately, Chen Yang has not yet witnessed Zhou Mingyuan truly displaying his swordsmanship, so he cannot yet imagine just how skilled Zhou Mingyuan is.

Before Chen Yang could say anything more, Zhou Mingyuan changed the subject, "We're going to Tianhua Zen Temple for a discussion later, do you want to come and listen?"

"forget it."

Chen Yang shook his head, "You are all senior experts. I am just a junior. I would feel uncomfortable going there, and I'm afraid I wouldn't understand much anyway..."

"Yeah, too."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded slightly, "Although it is said that a great teacher produces great students, there are too many great teachers, each with their own teaching methods and theories, which can easily confuse their students. In the end, they may end up with a hybrid that is neither here nor there, which would be troublesome. You'd better stay put!"

They discussed the Dao, each sharing their own cultivation experiences. Since their levels were similar, they could learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and verify each other's insights. However, Chen Yang's level was low, and as a newcomer, he could only play the role of a listener. He couldn't distinguish which of their statements were correct and which were wrong, which would be ridiculous if he ended up only taking the dross, and it would actually affect his own cultivation.

……

Not long after Zhou Mingyuan left, Chen Yang also prepared to return to Wang Yuanchao's residence.

He wasn't planning to leave Emei so soon; there were still some things to take care of.

After walking a few steps, Chen Yang suddenly stopped, feeling a presence approaching from behind.

He turned around and was slightly taken aback.

It was Huanglong Daoist.

His injuries seem to have truly healed. After the battle at Mount Si'e, he was free from worries and became much more cheerful and less gloomy.

Judging from his appearance, he clearly came up to find Chen Yang only after seeing Zhou Mingyuan leave.

"Where are we going?" Huanglong Daoist approached.

Chen Yang shrugged. "Just taking a stroll. Aren't you going to Tianhua Zen Temple to discuss the Dao, senior?"

There's no need to rush.

Huanglong Daoist shook his head, his gaze falling on Chen Yang. "Do you still remember our agreement?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

That day, Huanglong Daoist said he would help him deal with Ding Huanchun, but after the matter was settled, he needed Chen Yang to do something for him.

At the time, he didn't specify what it was about. Chen Yang just vaguely agreed that he could help him within his capabilities, but not beyond them.

As for the scope, the interpretation rests with Chen Yang.

At the time, Zhou Mingyuan guessed that Huanglong Daoist wanted him to help find the antidote for the elixir.

The poison in his body was caused by Ding Huanchun. The antidote Ding Huanchun gave him only temporarily suppressed the poison from the "divine water" in his body. The actual hidden danger was still there, and it would take effect sooner or later. Given his current condition, if there was no antidote, the consequences would be unpredictable once the poison took effect.

Chen Yang said, "Senior, Ding Huanchun self-destructed his physical body back then, leaving nothing behind. His second primordial spirit host, the Three Corpses Human-Faced Tree, couldn't possibly have carried the antidote for the Immortal Water..."

In fact, he possessed the Poison Manual and knew how to make the antidote for the Immortal Water. However, was this Yellow Dragon Taoist worth doing all that for?

Chen Yang thought for a moment.

If he insists on asking for my help, and if Zhou Mingyuan doesn't mind helping him detoxify, then it would be fine. It would also fulfill my promise and settle this matter.

Upon hearing this, Huanglong Daoist shook his head, "I am not looking for you for the immortal water."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was somewhat surprised, "Senior, the poison in your body from the elixir..."

"I'll figure out how to handle it myself."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Chen Yang looked at him strangely. If it weren't for the magic water, what else could you ask me to do? Do you expect me to help you deal with Zhou Mingyuan?

Huanglong Daoist said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's actually very simple. Just come with me to Jinjia Mountain."

"Jinjia Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang was stunned for a moment before finally saying, "Jinjia Mountain, the ruins of that ancient cultivator's cave?"

Huanglong Daoist nodded slightly, "Not bad."

"This……"

Chen Yang hesitated.

He had considered visiting the Jinjiashan Cave ruins, but if he were to go with Huanglong Daoist, he would have to think it over carefully.

After all, Chen Yang was somewhat wary of Huanglong Daoist.

Huanglong Daoist said, "At that time, I will ask Zhou Mingyuan to go together."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's expression became quite strange.

He looked at Huanglong Daoist with a puzzled expression, "Senior, if I may ask, didn't you and Elder Zhou fight as soon as you met, it was either you die or I live?"

"Ah."

Huanglong Daoist gave a bitter smile and sighed, "In my life, I have done many wrong things. My reputation was tarnished in the first half of my life, and countless people wished they could grind me to dust. I have harmed many people and wronged many people, but only towards him, Zhou Mingyuan, can I say that I have a clear conscience..."

"Uh……"

Chen Yang was completely stunned when he heard this.

Huanglong Daoist's serious expression completely bewildered Chen Yang.

How could such an expression appear on Huanglong Daoren at this time and place?

Could this old man be any more shameless?
