“A sword tablet?”
Hearing Xue Dongyang’s words, Lin Ran couldn’t help but be stunned.
“That’s right it’s a sword tablet, and it has a great deal of history! Little friend, why don’t you come with me to take a look first, and then I will explain later!”
Xue Dongyang laughed and said.
Lin Ran saw this and was busy nodding, his sword dao could not be refined any further, so if this sword tablet was really very precious, it might be able to help him continue to improve.
Although the Dao of the Sword Dao could not be improved, the time when he was enlightened on the cliffs of the Eight Qi Mountains had made Lin Ran understand a truth.
Although the Dao of the Sword could not be improved, there was no end to the sword moves and their use, and these other improvements could be seen as laying the foundation for the future Dao of the Sword, so Lin Ran naturally did not want to miss out!
Li Ba was also curious, so he followed the two of them!
The place where the Sword Tablet was located was in one of the Xue Family’s attics, and this attic was the Xue Family’s Hidden Scripture Pavilion!
The fact that Xue Dongyang was willing to bring Lin Ran and the two of them to this place already showed that he really did not treat Lin Ran as an outsider.
Otherwise, how could anyone bring a family’s core place like the family’s scripture collection?
The Xue family’s scripture collection pavilion was built in a very peculiar way, it covered a very large area, and only after Lin Ran and the others entered it did they realise that the middle of the pavilion was actually empty!
It was like a huge cylinder standing on the ground, and above the middle of the pavilion, it actually led directly to the top, forming a separate space.
When he arrived at the separate space in the scripture collection pavilion, Lin Ran saw that there were many flowers and plants growing on the ground, just like a back garden!
And at this moment, deep within these flowers and plants, there was actually a gazebo built, and a tall stone tablet could be seen within the period of the gazebo being very large.
“Could this be it?”
Lin Ran looked dumbfounded, this entire space was so carefully arranged, obviously to hold the things within that gazebo!
If his guess was correct, what was inside that gazebo must be the so-called sword tablet!
“That’s right, what’s inside is the Sword Tablet!”
Xue Dongyang laughed as he led the two of them towards the pavilion.
As he walked, Xue Dongyang explained with a smile!
“Little friend Lin Ran, you may not know that there is a sect within this East Flag City, called the Sword Immortal Sect!”
“This clan is extremely good at sword cultivation and has a long history of talented people, and the most important thing in this Sword Immortal Clan is this sword tablet!”
“Sword Immortal Sect? The Sword Tablet?”
Lin Ran was stunned to hear this, this Sword Immortal Sect seemed extraordinary, just daring to use the word Sword Immortal to start a sect already showed its profound heritage!
“That’s right, this sword tablet is a copy of the Sword Immortal Sect’s sword tablet! It was given to me by the Eastern Chess King back then!”
Xue Dongyang laughed.
At this moment, the three of them had already arrived within the pavilion, and Lin Ran immediately saw that a huge stone tablet was standing in the middle of the pavilion.
The stone tablet only had sword marks crisscrossing it, compared to intertwined but not cluttered, and on the very top of this sword tablet were four big words carved in dragon flight.
“Three Characters Sword Tablet!”
“Three character sword tablet? What does this mean?”
Lin Ran looked puzzled.
Xue Dongyang at the side, however, stroked his beard and said.
“This three-character sword tablet is a very famous sword tablet, and it is said that the three words of truth on this three-character sword tablet only have completely expounded the entire path of the sword dao!”
“As long as one follows these three words of truth, a sword practitioner’s training in the sword dao will not take a wrong turn!”
“It’s just a pity that the sword dao is a great path after all, even though the path has been laid out, very few people can actually reach the end!”
Xue Dongyang lamented.
Lin Ran nodded at his words, although he still didn’t know what the three words on the sword tablet were, he did understand this truth!
Imagine a cultivation world that was so big, with so many great seniors, but why were there only a few truly strong people?
If the former greats share their insights and so on, and show the latter the way, won’t that speed up the latter’s growth?
Not really! Cultivation is like a race, some people cannot see clearly the road ahead and will inevitably take a wrong turn!
And some people have a path in front of them, but so what? You have to walk the road yourself. All others can do is to help you show the way and how to walk it. When you reach the end, it’s all up to you!
“Little friend, do go up and take a look!”
Xue Dongyang pointed to a futon in front of the sword tablet and said.
Lin Ran didn’t hesitate, so he sat down on it and felt the dandelion move.
The futon carried Lin Ran around the sword tablet and spun around.
Only then did Lin Ran realise that as the doughnut rotated, the contents of the sword tablet gradually became clearer.
It turned out that the whole tablet was divided into three parts, and above each part was a word carved in a dragon’s flight.
They were “Attack, Defence and Formation!”
“Attack, Defence and Formation! It is the so-called Three True Words!”
Xue Dongyang explained at the side.
“This three-character sword tablet was left behind by the founding ancestor of the Sword Immortal Sect, Senior Sword Immortal, who left behind twenty-seven sword strokes on it! At that time, it was called the Twenty-Seven Character Sword Tablet!”
“But later on, as talents emerged from the Sword Immortal Sect, extremely talented disciples would appear almost every hundred years, and these disciples would carefully study the Sword Tablet before leaving the Sword Immortal Sect!”
“And these people were so talented that they gradually refined the 27-word Sword Tablet! They became the eighteen-word Sword Tablet, the nine-word Sword Tablet and even the final six-word Sword Tablet!”
“And just a few hundred years ago, another stunning disciple emerged from the Sword Immortal Sect, who completely streamlined the six-word Sword Tablet into a three-word Sword Tablet!”
“And this three-character sword tablet has continued to this day, and in the sword cultivation world it is even called the core of the entire sword dao by the great powers!”
“As long as one can comprehend the three words of this three-character sword tablet and practice it thoroughly, that covers the entire sword dao!”
“Once you enter the Dao and practice it in the future, the entire Sword Dao will naturally be greatly complete!”
“For this reason, even many powerful sword cultivators have travelled thousands of miles to this Sword Immortal Gate to enlighten the Sword Tablet!”
Xue Dongyang introduced a lot in one breath, and listening to Lin Ran and Li Ba, they couldn’t help but be staggered.
One had to know that this was only a royal city in the Immortal Emperor Domain, and there were actually such powerful sects hidden here.
Wouldn’t the sects in Immortal Emperor City be incredibly powerful?
Xue Dongyang seemed to have seen Lin Ran’s thoughts and laughed.
“Little friend Lin Ran you don’t know, in fact, in the Immortal Emperor Domain, whether it’s the Immortal Emperor City or the four king cities, the clans are all the same in terms of their strength!”
“The strengths and weaknesses are just the different birth sources of these sects, and the identity and background of the cultivators in Immortal Emperor City are all generally stronger, so that leads to the fact that there are more sect masters in Immortal Emperor City!”
“But if you really only look at the clans, the clans that are suitable for cultivation are not necessarily the ones that are stronger in Immortal Emperor City, putting aside other external factors and simply looking at talent!”
“The ability of the sects in Immortal Emperor City to cultivate disciples isn’t necessarily much better than the other four king cities!”
“Why else would the Sword Immortal senior back then have set up the Sword Immortal Sect in this Eastern Flag City! Instead of Immortal Emperor City!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but nod as he listened, feeling that what Xue Dongyang said was also reasonable.
