Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Chapter 148 Primordial Soil

The idea that his biological father might be a reincarnation of an immortal from the upper realm was truly unbelievable to Su Baichen.

But then again, even if that person named Su Yang is a reincarnation of an immortal from the upper realm, it's impossible to judge whether he's good or bad.

The best course of action right now is to ignore him for the time being.

Since Su Yang has returned to sever worldly ties, Su Baichen can fully cooperate and let him sever them however he wants. Once the worldly ties are severed, everything will be fine.

Su Baichen's approach to this matter is passive.

After quickly discussing the matter with his master, Su Baichen returned to the group of his fellow disciples in the Sword Sect. They continued with their original plan to stay in the Jade Capital Mountain for a while.

Yujing Mountain is a unique mountain naturally imbued with the essence of metal.

But if we were to say that it represents which true meaning of the Earth element?

Su Baichen felt that it was the word "strong".

A strong and unyielding character, preferring to break rather than bend.

Su Baichen easily grasped the true meaning behind it.

He discovered a very interesting phenomenon.

He has now visited Nanshan, Taishan, Damaoshan, and Yujingshan.

As a result, apart from the most difficult enlightenment at Nanshan, the headquarters of Changchun Palace, the enlightenment at the other three mountains felt natural and effortless.

This is certainly because it's the first time in Nanshan; it's pioneering.

But there is an even bigger reason: the cultivation world of Liang Kingdom is dominated by Changchun Palace, especially the Nanshan Mountain they occupy, which is almost entirely controlled by Changchun Palace.

The other three mountains, Mount Tai and Mount Yujing, are teeming with cultivators, while Mount Damao has few cultivation sects stationed there.

The problem is that the Da Mao Mountains are mostly inhabited by border troops stationed at strategic passes!

They have been stationed in Damao Mountain for many years and have become one with the character of Damao Mountain.

When Su Baichen was comprehending the Great Mao Mountain, he almost directly grasped its essence by observing the spirit and character of those border soldiers.

He especially vividly remembers the feeling of resonance he experienced while facing away from the lights of countless homes.

This is unlike Nanshan; one has to hide in the mountain's caves to slowly appreciate its profound weight and the true meaning it carries.

On Mount Tai and Mount Yujing, he only needed to sit down and circulate the "Spirit Nourishing and Spirit-Nourishing Technique of Thick Earth" for numerous insights to gradually flow into him from the mountains...

Among them, Yujing Mountain is even simpler, and it seems that its five main peaks each have different true meanings, and its more than seventy peaks and ridges seem to be full of mysteries.

He discovered an interesting reality: the reason why famous mountains are famous is that people understand the mountains, and the mountains also understand people.

This mountain is filled with the aspirations and insights of practitioners throughout history. They are trying to understand this mountain, and at the same time, they leave their understanding in the mountain as a kind of profound interpretation.

When Su Baichen activated the "Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique," all the spiritual inscriptions left in the mountains surged over at once.

What he had to do was to sift through these insights and summarize the true meaning of Yujing Mountain itself.

He paused to silently comprehend the technique, then prepared to devise a suitable sword technique to help him cultivate the metal element.

Incredibly, this step turned out to be even more difficult.

Because he was exposed to too many interpretations at once, he lost the interest in describing things himself.

He picked and chose, and eventually decided to watch the entire sword competition between the Sword Sect disciples in Yujing Mountain.

For three months in a row, he created a metal-element sword technique in a very lazy way.

That is, to observe the sword techniques of many sword cultivators in Yujing Mountain, select the essence of them and string them together, and then supplement them with the true meaning of metal element true qi and the solemn and righteous true meaning of metal element permeating the mountain, thus creating a set of seventy-two sword moves.

This sword technique is diverse yet not chaotic, and it vaguely resembles the general principles of the Jade Capital Mountain sword technique.

The sword techniques of every sword-cultivating force in Yujing Mountain can be traced back to it, but it seems to be completely different.

However, this sword technique was suppressed by the Sword Master Wufeng as soon as it was created.

They absolutely cannot reveal this before leaving Yong Kingdom, otherwise they will be attacked by the sword cultivators here.

"Okay, I just use it to cultivate my metal element spiritual energy, for when the five elements converge."

What could Su Baichen do? He could only shrug and accept his fate.

To be honest, of the sword techniques he developed on the five mountains in this world, the most beautiful is "South Mountain Misty Rain", the most magical is "Withering and Flourishing Sword Technique", the most magnificent is "South Mountain Undying Flame", and his favorite is "North Mountain Frost", but the strongest is definitely "Jade Capital Seventy-Two Swords".

They did not linger in Yong Kingdom for the rest of their time.

This country can actually be said to be the root of Chinese culture, but due to climate change and the eastward shift of the cultural center, it has gradually become a harsh and desolate borderland.

The land here has become barren, and there are not many people who can be supported. However, the people here are full of martial spirit and are all brave and fierce.

There aren't many without a prime minister here, and as for the imperial court... to be honest, the court of Yong Kingdom is actually controlled by its local warlords.

From this perspective, as long as the problem of the Person Without Form in the court is solved, this country will soon be able to return to the control of the human race.

The group hurriedly bid farewell to the various sword cultivators in Yujing Mountain, looking rather guilty.

There was nothing they could do; Su Baichen had essentially "stolen" the essence of the entire Jade Capital Mountain.

In Yong Kingdom, they did not reveal the matter of the Formless Ones to the local sword cultivators.

After all, the sword cultivator factions here are too chaotic, and they cannot distinguish trustworthy individuals in a short period of time.

Finally, after two days of travel, they arrived at Chongshan, located on the border between Liang and Wei.

This mountain range covers a vast area and is located in the center of the world, naturally attracting merchants from all over the world and becoming a place where various cultures converge.

Therefore, in this mountain, Su Baichen immediately felt its 'inclusive' quality.

Upon closer examination, one can discover the meaning of "balance".

He simply found a secluded cave, sat down on the ground, and meditated for three days, thus thoroughly understanding the true meaning of this place.

Thus, for him, he had obtained all the qualities of earth: its capacity to bear, its majesty, its resilience, its fierceness, and its inclusiveness.

These gathered essences were combined by Su Baichen through the "Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique," forming a unique quality.

At that moment, Su Baichen sensed that something was wrong.

It seems that what he sensed was not the element of earth, but the earth itself!

Or perhaps, what he comprehended was no longer the acquired element of earth, but the innate element of earth!

At that moment, the "Nine Netherworld Earth Sword," which was said to have been passed down from ancient times, also brought him some different insights.

When his understanding of earth element reached the innate level, he seemed to be able to sense the location of the underworld beneath the Nine Netherworlds...

Good heavens, his secondary cultivation of Earth element is about to overturn the Heavenly Gang and suppress his primary cultivation of Profound Yin spiritual energy!

There was one thing: when he woke up from his seclusion, he found that everyone was looking at him with disappointment.

Su Baichen asked, "What happened?"

Jian Liuli, with the thickest skin, asked frankly, "You didn't create another sword technique, did you?"

Su Baichen was speechless for a moment, and said, "That was the original plan, but the problem is that I found out that I already know a sword technique that suits me quite well, so I didn't bother with it."

Indeed, in his opinion, the Nine Netherworld Earth Sword is very suitable for him now.

Seeing this, Wufeng Sword Elder laughed and scolded Jian Liuli: "Stop fooling around. The sword techniques created by Bai Chen are enough to open another Sword Sect inheritance."

He himself paused at this point... This matter is terrifying to think about.
