Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Did you go astray again in Chapter 96?

That day, Su Baichen chatted with Master Kaiyang for a long time, talking about some interesting stories from their early years as fellow disciples, as well as some things to pay attention to during cultivation. He even didn't hide some of the subtleties of the "Changchun Pure Yang Qi Technique".

At the same time, Su Baichen still couldn't forget the "Kun Yuan Zhen Shi Immortal Scripture" that he had "missed," so he brought it up: "Senior Uncle, I also noticed that there is a 'Kun Yuan Zhen Shi Immortal Scripture' in the secret repository that looks extremely extraordinary. I wonder what its effects will be after it is cultivated?"

Master Kaiyang chuckled and said, "This? This is one of the most treasured techniques of our Changchun Palace."

"However, you need to understand why it, with such a great reputation, is only kept hidden away"—just like your Yin Sect also has a hidden treasure called the "Taiyin Yuanzun True Scripture," and my Yang Sect also has the "Taiyang Yaotian True Scripture"—haha, you'll know when you ask your master later, these hidden treasure techniques are simply beyond the reach of people today."

Su Baichen asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

Master Kaiyang said, "These cultivation methods are all inherited from ancient immortals. While they can lead directly to the immortal realm, they have become useless once they are removed from the ancient environment."

"However, your choice of the 'Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique' is good. It is also an ancient secret method passed down through generations. It only explains how to comprehend it rather than what one can comprehend. Therefore, it can be considered a technique with an extremely high upper limit and an extremely low lower limit."

Su Baichen then understood.

Come to think of it, the rules of heaven and earth in ancient times were probably different from those now.

He was the one who inherited the Soul-Suppressing Sword, so he knew exceptionally well what ancient times were like. Even the souls of the dead had nowhere to go and would linger in the world.

"Then this disciple will try out the 'Spirit Nourishing and Spirit Cultivation Technique of Thick Earth' first?"

Master Kaiyang said, "Go, go, try it on the next mountain. Maybe you'll find something out?"

Su Baichen immediately agreed and hurriedly ran out of Changchun Palace, arriving at the neighboring mountain.

Although I had stayed at Changchun Palace for three months before, I really didn't have time to walk around the surrounding area.

It took an hour to climb to the highest peak of the area. Looking down, one could see undulating, lush mountains, full of vitality, beauty, and charm.

Su Baichen admired the beauty in his heart, and then found a flat stone slab on the mountaintop and sat down cross-legged.

Then he closed his eyes—

The mantra and mental techniques of "The Secret of Nourishing Spirit in Thick Earth" flowed through his mind. Following the instructions, he first calmed his mind.

Empty your mind of all thoughts, making yourself like an empty void, letting everything around you flow into this void.

At that moment, even though he hadn't opened his eyes, he seemed to see the magnificent, thriving, and endlessly vibrant life in the entire mountain range before him.

"What a nice view."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This is a sincere compliment; he has discovered the mountain's exquisite beauty.

He didn't know how long he had been meditating, the moon rose and set, and when the sun rose, he felt that he was surrounded by a misty rain, with distant mountains appearing and disappearing, and the whole world was like the most beautiful landscape painting.

He seemed like someone living in a landscape painting, insignificant, yet suddenly deeply moved.

Slowly, tears began to fall from his eyes.

His heart was filled with insights he didn't realize at the time, but he felt that the beauty before him was beyond words.

He regretted that he couldn't describe the beauty in his heart; what a pity that would be.

As for how to describe this scene and this feeling?

He steadied himself, then suddenly drew his spirit sword, Luan Ke, and began to wield it.

At that moment, he was completely absorbed in the moment, wanting only to depict the beautiful scenery before him, using the only method he could think of.

His sword became ethereal and beautiful, with smoke swirling around it, whether it attracted water elemental energy or incorporated illusion magic, it was hard to tell.

But whether it was water-based spiritual energy or illusion magic was irrelevant to Su Baichen. At this moment, he was only focused on creating this exquisite painting, so he didn't care what he used.

Gradually, he stirred up the clouds and mist covering the entire mountain.

In Changchun Palace, the younger disciples were naturally unaware of the connection, but the great cultivators like Master Kaiyang, who had already achieved a certain level of spiritual cultivation, clearly felt the resonance of spiritual energy here.

Su Baichen's primordial spirit resonated with the beauty of the misty rain painting on the mountaintop!

He unleashed an extremely intricate and beautiful sword technique, solely to fully depict this aesthetic beauty.

Master Kaiyang pondered silently for a moment, then tossed out a communication jade tablet—

A short while later, on another mountain peak two thousand miles to the west, Wufeng Sword Elder received the communication jade tablet.

"What's going on? Can't people have some peace and quiet? Has that little devil finally lost his temper and decided to make a move?"

The old swordsman muttered something in displeasure, then read through the contents, and his expression suddenly turned strange.

Guanlan Sword Maiden, who was just about to return to her room to rest, stopped and asked, "Senior Brother, what is the Palace Master's message about now?"

The Sword Elder Wufeng said with a complicated expression, "He asked you and that kid Qingfeng Han to come over together. He said there are some matters concerning the reputation of the Sword Sect that need to be discussed."

Guanlan Jian'ao was taken aback upon hearing this, and then subconsciously exchanged a glance with Qingfeng Han, who was waiting beside her. In the end, they both saw a deep bitterness in each other's eyes.

Yes, they all figured out what was going on.

To be honest, when Su Baichen displayed his "Sword Demon" prowess, they were all trembling with fear.

But what can we do?

They were the ones who taught the "Sword Demon" his swordsmanship, and they were also desperate.

But what should we do now?

Both of them looked disheveled and embarrassed.

Guanlan Jianchang is now filled with hatred. If only she hadn't interfered so much, and let that stupid junior disciple bear all the infamy.

Seeing this, the Sword Master Wufeng was also helpless. He said, "I will go with you. It's hard to say what the situation is now. We can only wait and see."

"Me too! I'm going!"

Jian Liuli couldn't help but chime in. She found it amusing to look at Qingfeng Han Guanlan Jian Ao, who looked so dejected. How could she miss something so interesting?

The Sword Master Wufeng didn't care at all. He said, "If you can keep up, then come on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already taken Qingfeng Han with him and flew away rapidly using the sword light rainbow technique.

Guanlan Sword Lady was already close behind.

Seeing this, Jian Liuli was so anxious that she jumped up and down, but she also urged herself to use all her strength to control the sword light and turn it into a rainbow.

Her cultivation level was actually higher than Feng Linzi's.

In the end, the Sword Master Wufeng waited for Jian Liuli for a moment, then flew with her at high speed, finally returning to Changchun Palace after a quarter of an hour.

They had just landed on the highest viewing platform of Changchun Palace and hadn't said much when Wufeng Sword Elder saw Xuan Yin Zhenren and Shui Yin Ji rushing over together.

Master Xuan Yin sounded slightly impatient: "Senior brother, is something wrong with my disciple?"

Master Kaiyang didn't keep you in suspense. He pointed to the swirling clouds gathering and dispersing on the mountaintop not far away and said, "The reason I called you all here is to have us discuss how to educate this child—"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master Wufeng looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "He's demonstrating a water-based sword technique?"

Master Xuan Yin stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "There are also illusions mixed in."

He then covered his face and said, "I remember he came back to select earth-elemental cultivation techniques from the secret repository, right?"

Master Kaiyang sighed and said, "Yes, I personally watched him choose the 'Thick Earth Nourishing Spirit Technique,' a pure and ancient earth-based wondrous method."

"But I don't understand how he was able to develop a water-based sword technique using this?"

This is indeed puzzling, since these two things are completely unrelated.

Xuan Yin Zhenren's lips twitched. How could he not be surprised at all?

He said in a tone of someone who had been through it all: "After all, this kid is the kind of person who, if you give him a copy of the 'Mysterious Yin Qi Manual,' he can master a set of the 'Mysterious Yin Sword Manual.'"

"His cultivation always brings some surprises if you haven't seen him for a while."

These words, when heard by everyone, filled them with a feeling of bitterness and tears.
