Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Su Baichen stood on the spirit sword Luanke, using the sword control techniques from the "Nine Netherworld Earth Sword" to fly low through the air.

Above his head, Sword Sect's senior sister, Jian Liuli, flew not far away, amused, and asked, "Junior Brother Baichen, why are you flying so low?" Su Baichen's only comfort now was that the mountain carving beneath his feet was a broadsword, which gave him a slight sense of security.

He looked up and answered earnestly, "This is my first time flying on a sword, and I'm still getting used to it."

Jian Liuli smiled charmingly; it was only because her cultivation was high enough that she could "tease" her junior brother like this.

The other older disciples were all diligently piloting their flying swords, while the other two younger disciples, including Wang Xingyuan, could only be carried by the Sword Elder Wufeng. Jian Liuli glanced at her fellow disciples flying above the clouds, then said to Su Baichen, "You're flying so low, you'll be seen by mortals." Su Baichen replied, "It's alright, I've cast an illusion spell below, mortals can't see me."

"Senior sister, please go first. I'm just not used to it yet. I'll get used to it soon."

That's the truth. Although he was a little afraid of heights when he took off for the first time, he found that he could completely control his flight according to his own will. With this sense of security that he was in control, he naturally became less afraid of flying.

Jian Liuli covered her mouth and chuckled softly over her crystal-like flying sword, but did not leave.

"I can't leave. Master told me to keep an eye on you. Besides, if that guy Feng Linzi finds out I haven't taken good care of you, he'll give me a hard time next time we meet."

Su Baichen hadn't expected that his senior brother's influence was involved.

He stopped resisting and simply gritted his teeth, channeling his inner energy, which instantly carried him into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Jian Liuli's eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and she flew after him.

Su Baichen was surprised to find that pushing himself so hard actually helped him overcome his slight fear of heights more quickly. Why?

Because he realized that the sword flight in "Nine Netherworld Sword" was essentially a form of anti-gravity flight.

The key to the flying sword's ability to carry him into the air was an anti-gravity field... or rather, the complex relationship between the flying sword itself and the Earth's magnetic field. This discovery made Su Baichen realize that he could fly freely even without stepping on the flying sword... and it was precisely because of this that he finally overcame a minor problem he carried over from his previous life.

He and Jian Liuli flew up into the clouds and rejoined the main force.

The swordsman leading the way nodded slightly to him and spoke to the disciples in a whisper: "We will be visiting the Tianxia Sword Sect and the Qingming Sword Mansion, both of which are famous sword sects in the Wu Kingdom. We will stay in each place for half a month before leaving. You should cherish this opportunity to exchange ideas."

"Among them, the Tianxia Sword Sect is skilled in the Li Huo Sword Dao, and its disciples are mostly fierce and aggressive, preferring to be straightforward rather than good at witty exchanges." "On the other hand, the Qingming Sword Mansion is light and agile in its swordplay and has a lineage of talisman swords, which is truly remarkable. These two are not only major sects in the Wu region but also major sects in the cultivation world."

He paused briefly to allow his disciples time to process what he had said, then added, "However, we are guests from afar, so when we exchange blows, try to drag it out to more than twenty moves. Don't win too quickly, understand?"

Su Baichen originally thought that Wufeng Sword Elder, as the sect leader, would ultimately be a steady and reliable person, but he never expected him to be so arrogant...

However, he didn't say anything. After all, the Changchun Sword Sect had been sparring with sword cultivators from all over the world for many years, so they should have a good idea of ​​the cultivation level here, right? The speed of flying on a sword is naturally extremely fast.

After about half a day, the group arrived at a range of rolling mountains in the southeast.

This is Tianxia Mountain, where the Tianxia Sword Sect is located, and it can be considered a famous mountain in the Wu region.

As Su Baichen flew over the mountains, he lost much interest in the place.

Having experienced the lush vitality of Nanshan and discovered its unique natural beauty, he felt that Tianxia Mountain, while also possessing a fiery vitality, ultimately lacked the distinctive charm of Nanshan.

He also realized that the Five Directions and Five Mountains mentioned by his grandmaster were indeed special.

It was late autumn, and the red maple leaves covering the Tianxia Mountains looked like a sunset fallen to the ground.

The entire mountain is ablaze with red, truly resembling a scene of impending fire.

They landed amidst a fiery red landscape in the mountains, where the vermilion pavilions blended perfectly with the crimson leaves covering the entire mountain.

This is the Tianxia Sword Sect.

Beneath the archway inscribed with the words "Tianxia," an old man with a red beard waited with dozens of people.

"Senior Akabane, I've kept you waiting!"

Wu Fengjian Lao quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Su Baichen was quite surprised; he hadn't expected the old man to have a reddish beard and simply adopt the Taoist name "Red Beard"...

At this moment, he slightly moved his sleeve, and a miniature fox stone sculpture hidden inside the sleeve spoke: "Red-bearded Sword Master is a well-known expert in the Southeast. I didn't expect that he also has a close relationship with your Changchun Sword Sect."

This is power; it cultivates the physical body and is skilled in the art of physical transformation.

Meanwhile, the little fox Su Xiangxiang was fast asleep in the basket on Su Baichen's back.

It's still small, at the stage where it eats, sleeps, and grows.

Su Baichen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the disciples of the Tianxia Sword Sect. Fortunately, he did not find any Wuxiang practitioners here.

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master stroked his beard and smiled: "You came to cause trouble here when you first started out three hundred years ago. Now you are the leader of a sect, and you still bring your disciples to mess with me... I really can't do anything with you."

This one sentence alone explains the connection between the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master and the Sword Elder Without Edge... Knowing this is somewhat reassuring. No wonder this was chosen as the first stop; the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master is definitely a senior figure from the same era as Yu Xiangke and Shangshan Daojun, and he also has a connection with the Sword Elder Without Edge. It should be easy to persuade him.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master Wufeng smiled obsequiously and said, "Senior Chixu, could you please give me some face in front of the juniors?"

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master stroked his long red beard and chuckled twice, saying, "Come in, everyone. Since you're here, you're guests. How long are you planning to stay this time?"

Wu Feng Sword Elder casually replied, "I'll stay for half a month. I need to go to the Azure Nether Sword Mansion for the other half of the month."

The Crimson-Bearded Sword Master paused for a moment, then continued to lead everyone into the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

Just then, the sunset clouds on the horizon took shape.

Su Baichen sensed something and saw that the sunset on the horizon and the red maple leaves on the ground merged into one, making it difficult to distinguish between them for a moment.

This overwhelming force, which is in harmony with the heavens, made Su Baichen's heart itch with desire. He felt as if he could create a sword technique to depict it.

However, after looking around, he wisely refrained from doing anything unnecessary.

He obediently followed behind the group, while the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master led the way and chatted with the Edgeless Sword Elder.

"Alright, everyone else may leave. Starting tomorrow, the Changchun Sword Sect will be sparring with our Tianxia Sword Sect here. If you are interested, you are welcome to come and learn from us."

After giving instructions to his disciples, the Crimson-Bearded Sword Master dismissed most of them, leaving only a few elders and true disciples behind.

Just then, he suddenly said, "Alright, Wufeng, what mission did you bring from Changchun Palace this time? Just tell me." Su Baichen was stunned. He couldn't help but look at the Crimson Beard Sword Master. Meeting those crystal clear eyes, he felt as if he had been seen through... The Crimson Beard Sword Master was fully displaying the realm that sword cultivators dreamed of, with his sword heart clear and bright.
