Chapter 98 The Unquenchable Flame of Nanshan

This time, Su Baichen sat halfway up the mountain, emptying his mind and letting the surrounding spiritual energy and mysteries flow into his soul.

My spiritual awareness was amplified once again.

He had seen the vitality of the mountains before, but he was more attracted by the peaks that were faintly visible in the sea of ​​clouds, which led to the creation of the extremely complex and beautiful sword technique "Nanshan Misty Rain".

But now, halfway up the mountain, he can feel the awe-inspiring sense of being enveloped by life even more.

He could feel that the whole mountain was full of vitality!

He suddenly understood the reason for the name "Changchun Palace": the mountain was full of vitality and spring-like all year round.

Logically, shouldn't the infinite life in these mountains be of the wood element?

But in his spiritual perception, he felt as if he were in an inextinguishable flame.

Yes, in his eyes, the countless lives around him had manifested in the form of spiritual light, and then existed in the form of flames. At this moment, what others saw as lush green mountains was, in his eyes, an overwhelming sea of ​​flames!

The flame of life —

Time passed little by little.

One day, two days, three days —

He meditated and contemplated for eleven days until he reached a profound understanding, at which point he suddenly drew his sword and began to wield it again.

This time, his swordplay was grand and powerful, each strike seeming to unleash a raging wildfire.

Flames danced and leaped between his sword strikes, brimming with inexhaustible power.

The powerful figures in Changchun Palace sensed something amiss.

They looked up in surprise at the hillside beside them.

There, a cloud of fire gathered until it reached its peak, which then created a feeling of great light.

"Is it the Fire element this time?"

Elder Chen sighed with a complex expression.

To be honest, when he first learned that Su Baichen had cultivated the Earth Element Technique, he thought he could give him some pointers.

However, now...

This was the first time he had ever heard that practicing earth-element techniques could lead to the "water and fire" aspects!

The group of bigwigs looked at each other, then tacitly agreed to head up the mountain together.

Practice makes perfect, and they were curious to see what kind of trouble Su Baichen would cause this time.

When they reached the mountainside, they saw Su Baichen slowly practicing a very special sword technique.

The movements seemed slow, yet they appeared to have endless follow-up moves, ever-renewing and inexhaustible.

At the same time, the flashes of his sword as he wielded it formed a continuous pattern that resembled leaping flames, even allowing one to feel the heat of the flames.

This is a living sword technique; one can feel its vitality at a glance.

Looking into Su Baichen's half-open eyes, it was as if a flame was burning within them.

This is not a scorching flame, but rather a vibrant flame that inspires and motivates.

After finishing his sword dance, Su Baichen came to his senses and found himself surrounded by big shots again.

He felt somewhat uncomfortable; being watched like this all the time was quite embarrassing for him.

This time, no one dared to say anything more, and everyone looked at Master Xuanyin.

This is Su Baichen's master. Eleven days ago, he said something that led this exceptionally talented young man to create this Fire Element Sword Technique.

Even compared to the previous "Nanshan Misty Rain" which used illusions to create clouds, mist, rain, and rosy clouds, this sword technique clearly captures a portion of the true essence of fire.

Unbelievable.

He was sent to cultivate earth-elemental techniques, and as a result, he not only comprehended a phantom sword technique, but also a proper, top-tier fire-elemental sword technique.

This situation made Elder Chen begin to doubt whether there was something wrong with his methodical cultivation over the past two hundred years.

At this moment, with everyone watching, Master Xuanyin asked with a solemn expression, "What is the name of this sword technique?"

Su Baichen was still savoring the aftertaste of his recent enlightenment. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll call it—the Undying Flame of Nanshan."

Master Xuan Yin nodded in praise: "What a magnificent 'Unquenchable Flame of Nanshan'! You've actually regarded the beautiful, spiritual trees covering the mountain as flames—but it must be said, perhaps that's a more apt metaphor for this great mountain."

Nanshan is the name of the mountain where Changchun Palace is located.

Despite receiving such praise, Su Baichen showed no sign of pride, because his master remained serious.

Sure enough, the next moment Master Xuanyin asked, "So, after creating the 'Undying Flame of Nanshan' sword technique, do you think that's enough?"

Su Baichen shook his head decisively: "No, what this disciple needs to comprehend is the Earth Element Technique, the true essence of this mountain—the Misty Rain of Nanshan. The 'Undying Flame of Nanshan' is merely superficial; the true nature of this mountain—I have not yet fully grasped it."

Master Xuanyin said happily, "Very good, then continue to comprehend according to your own ideas."

He turned and left with a flourish.

Everyone was incredulous at the sight, but they were also intimidated by Xuan Yin Zhenren's powerful aura and dared not say anything, so they could only retreat together.

Su Baichen was stunned for a while, and he had no idea how to comprehend it next.

He sat on the mountain in a daze for a while, then suddenly patted his head and dashed down the mountain to Changchun Palace.

"Huh? Junior brother, weren't you supposed to be on your way to comprehend the Dao? Why are you back?"

Jian Liuli was practicing swordsmanship with Qing Fenghan at the palace gate when she saw Su Baichen coming down the mountain and asked him about it curiously.

Su Baichen said, "I don't have any clue for the time being. I'm not in a hurry anyway, so I'll come down and have something to eat and rest for a bit. Oh, and I'll leave behind the two sword techniques I've learned, so I won't have any worries about them."

Jian Liuli didn't think there was anything wrong with it and happily said, "Okay, Xiao Han and I will learn from you together."

Qing Fenghan pointed to himself, somewhat reluctantly, and said, "I want to learn too!"

Jian Liuli said, "So what? It's rare to encounter such an interesting sword technique, we can't miss it."

Su Baichen decided not to rush inside and started teaching from there.

On the other side, at the highest point of Changchun Palace, Master Kaiyang looked at Master Xuanyin with amusement and said, "Junior brother, he has come down the mountain."

""

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. No matter how talented someone is, they still need rest and time to accumulate experience."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanyin turned and left without saying a word.

Master Kaiyang asked curiously, "Junior brother, where are you going?"

Master Xuanyin said, "Go to the next town and buy some pig's trotters and soybeans. Bai Chen loves the pig's trotters I stew for him the most."

Master Kaiyang was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Let's go together, let's go together. We can also get some rice wine. It's been a long time since my brother and I have sat down to have a proper meal and drink."

That night, the grass outside Changchun Palace was bustling with activity.

What started as a master wanting to cook a meal for his favorite disciple turned into a unique gathering where elders and younger generations came together.

Su Baichen was glad he hadn't missed the gathering. He still carried the same sense of vitality he had when he was comprehending the Dao. When the emotions were running high, he simply drew his sword and danced, explaining the essence of the "Undying Flame of Nanshan" while performing the sword dance.

-

Those present, whether disciples of the Yin Sect, Sword Sect, Yang Sect, or even the Five Elements Sect, were able to understand and learn it.

The elders of Changchun Palace were taken aback by this, but then they all burst into laughter.

Because the "Nanshan Undying Flame" is essentially derived from the "Changchun Yangzhen Sword Technique," it can be considered an advancement of the "Changchun Yangzhen Sword Technique."

Given the magnanimity of the elders at Changchun Palace, they wouldn't care if this sword technique became a basic sword technique that everyone could learn.

They could only sigh that from now on, Su Baichen would probably be the leader of the second generation of disciples.

Even if he was completely unaware of this at the moment, it had become an indisputable fact after this sword-passing ceremony.
