Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 118 Teacher Bai Discusses Swordsmanship
Nighttime, inside Hospital B3.

"The arm showed no signs of life, but the person should not be dead."

A gentle female voice spoke words that sent chills down one's spine, while flawless fingers, under the moonlight, extracted information from some broken stone artifacts.

Bai Suzhen never expected that she would come to this small courtyard again in such a short time.

It's been less than a month since the last time.

It seems that every time this young master Xu comes, he manages to do something beyond his own level.

And each time, even this top-tier demon couldn't predict it, and this time was no exception.

Suddenly, a cultivator appeared on Nanshan Mountain. Without even seeing his face, he inexplicably lost an arm and fled.

It is said that they were originally accomplices, but one of them suddenly realized his mistake and used a sword to achieve the final redemption.

The story itself is quite interesting, especially the fact that Instructor Xu repeatedly reminded Zhang Hua with compassion, which is commendable.

It is increasingly resembling the behavior of the philosophers of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Who would refuse to be friends with a wise and kind person?

For the sake of his friend's safety, he confidently investigated and came to a conclusion.

"He must be a heretical cultivator at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage."

"It has a heritage, a solid foundation, and numerous methods."

"The broken battle flags contain some techniques from the Miao region in the south. The envoy's soul is scarce, as if it had been completely exhausted before."

"If it's a direct battle, you should be able to escape with the help of divine weapons and magical treasures."

It means that this person is not a charlatan, but has high spiritual attainment, is ruthless, and will run away if possible.

Who is Xu Xuan?
He is a very receptive person.

He immediately said that he would wait for his senior brother to return before taking that bastard's life.

Then Bai Suzhen sat down beside the lotus pond and began to appraise the pair of male and female swords.

The two swords, one yin and one yang, are a pair: Gan Jiang is the male sword, and Mo Xie is the female sword. Each is crafted with ingenuity, and they complement each other.
The female sword has a slender blade engraved with delicate cloud patterns, exuding a simple and elegant charm and a gentle aura. The blade is incomparably sharp, yet it shimmers with a soft luster, like the moonlight reflected on a tranquil lake, revealing twinkling cold stars, as if it could reflect the soul of a person.

The male sword appears even more imposing, with a broad, thick blade and lines as hard as a mountain ridge, exuding an indomitable, iron-blooded spirit. The blade gleams with a chilling light, like a raging fire, while the dragon pattern carved on the hilt soars through the clouds, conveying a sense of calm and grandeur.

The two swords are inseparable, which also implies the harmony of yin and yang, and the balance of strength and gentleness.

Bai Suzhen gently stroked the sword blades, feeling their repulsion. Displeased, she exerted great magical power to continue pressing down on the edges.

Only then could one sense that the restrained intent to kill the king and seek revenge was still burning hot and domineering.

It was a swordsmanship that disregarded life and death, disregarded everything, and was determined to fulfill its purpose—almost demonic.

As long as one possesses it, one will inevitably be entangled in karma and will not have a good end.

The depth of their obsession is completely opposite to the path of transcendence pursued by most practitioners.

"What a pair of demon soldiers."

During her long journey of cultivation, she witnessed countless divine weapons and treasures.

In the cultivation world, multiple weapons are not uncommon. They may be used for array formations or to carry the Dao. The applications of the Dao of Yin and Yang, positive and negative, thunder and fire are countless.

Famous examples include the Purple and Green Twin Swords, the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords of the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, the Male and Female Swords of Guangcheng Heavenly Venerable, the Two Dragons Sword, and so on.
Therefore, Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were not particularly outstanding in some respects, and even their special effects were very simple and almost non-existent.

However, Bai Suzhen's teacher was extraordinary, and she knew the wonders of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

Looking again at the Seven Star Big Dipper Sword that Xu Xuan had placed beside him, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

"Young Master Xu, haven't you asked Ruoxu to look into your karmic entanglements?"

"I've seen it. I even went to the Pure Land of the Ancestral Master to sever it once." Miss Bai sighed helplessly, and Xu Xuan took the initiative to ask.

Is there anything wrong with this sword?

"After the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were completed, they were not presented to the King of Chu, but to King Helü of Wu, the same King Helü who heavily relied on Wu Zixu."

"No wonder the records in the Wu Yue Chun Qiu: He Lu Nei Zhuan and the Zhan Guo Ce: Qi Ce in the library differ from those in the Lie Shi Zhuan and Xiao Zi Zhuan."

At this point, Xu Xuan also felt that it was strange to put Doctor Wu's sword together with Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

Next up is Teacher Bai's mini-class.

Over the course of time, even without her conscious effort, she would naturally learn a great deal.

There are many divine weapons in the world, which can be broadly divided into two types.

One type is made of special and mystical materials, requiring magical refinement before it can be used.

Examples of such swords include the Nanming Li Huo Sword, the Tian Lei Twin Swords, the Zi Ying and Qing Suo Swords, the Shui Huo Feng Sword, the Fei Yan Sword, the Zhan Xian Sword, and even her own Chi Long Sword.

Southern Bright Fire, Taiyi Golden Essence, mist and clouds, divine beasts, the power of nature, and even the Dao principles of nothingness can all be used to forge flying swords.

It possesses immense power from the moment it is born, capable of splitting mountains and severing seas, and easily annihilating all living beings in a realm; most divine weapons in the world are of this kind.

Another type is the divine sword of the mortal realm.

The materials themselves are mostly rare and precious irons, and the casting techniques exhaust the wisdom of ordinary people.

While it cannot match the sharpness of divine weapons of immortals, it has been endowed with a unique destiny due to its legendary deeds.

Even though many legends are fictional, they are imbued with special power as long as they are passed down by humans.

Just like the mutual generation and mutual restraint that clearly do not exist in the order of heaven and earth.

The majestic sword Tai'a, the noble sword Longyuan, the benevolent sword Zhanlu, and so on.
When one's path aligns with the sword's nature, it will unleash tremendous power.

It doesn't place too much importance on cultivation level itself; even someone without magical power can use this sword to practice their principles.

For example, when someone sacrifices themselves for the sake of righteousness, the Seven Stars Big Dipper Sword will unleash an invincible power.

Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were originally demonic weapons; their ferocity could only be controlled when they were used to commit regicide or revenge.

After listening, Xu felt a bit emotional. Lu Pan was right; the Seven Star Big Dipper Sword didn't quite seem to match his own opinion.

To sacrifice one's life for righteousness is unimaginable; I, a schoolteacher, would be forced into such a situation.

These two swords, one male and one female, are even more mismatched. Who would want to kill their king and seek revenge for no reason?
That's not just a blatant traitor, that's a classic case of a hypocrite!
Destiny? Destiny!
Ahem, let's keep a low profile.

He hadn't even fully taken control of Chongqi Academy yet, and he only had three to five disciples. How could he have come up with such a method?

Sigh. In other words, although I have obtained a lot of weapons and magical treasures through my unremitting efforts and a bit of luck, they are all in standby mode.

When will I be able to roam freely in the cultivation world?

Just as she was feeling troubled, Miss Bai handed her a butterfly that was torn into a mess.

A smile radiating divine light warmed someone's heart.

"I've improved your paper-tearing butterfly technique these past few days. Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly is too ethereal and hard to capture. It's better to use the Heart Sutra to illuminate form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness, and reflect the butterfly you want onto the paper."

He then threw it, and the shredded paper emitted multicolored light, instantly transforming into a butterfly that spread its wings in the air.

The wings are colorful, with golden yellow, emerald green and deep purple colors intermingling, interspersed with a few soft pinks.

When the moonlight shines down, the butterflies glow with a hazy fluorescence, as if countless stars have fallen to earth.
