In the space, an old man was sitting cross-legged in place, and Lin Ran was busy bowing respectfully when he saw the other man.
“Master!”
“Hmm! How is the sword technique cultivation going?”
Tianxuanzi opened his eyes and looked at Lin Ran.
“Mastered the basics, I’m afraid it will take time to refine it again!”
Lin Ran didn’t hide it and said directly.
“The basics! Come out and try a move!”
Tianxuanzi said.
Lin Ran nodded at his words and when you drew out the Frost Condensation Sword, a sword aura then headed straight for Tianxuanzi.
This sword mane was extremely powerful, and it was Lin Ran’s strongest strike without using the Divine Lightning Transformation and the Chaos Qi Spiral.
The sword mane sliced through mid-air and even caused a sonic boom as it charged straight towards Tianxuanzi in front of him.
However, Tian Xuanzi sat motionless in his original position, quietly watching the sword slash towards him.
Lin Ran did not dare to speak when he saw this, not knowing how Tianxuanzi would respond.
However, to Lin Ran’s surprise, Tianxuanzi actually just raised one hand, followed by a flick of his sword finger, and in an instant, the same sword mane rushed over.
However, compared to Lin Ran’s sword mane, Tianxuanzi’s sword clearly looked very ordinary, without even the slightest fluctuation of aura.
It didn’t feel like it had any killing power at all!
Tianxuanzi’s sword was plain and unadorned, with nothing outstanding about it.
Yet it was this sword that, the moment it touched Lin Ran’s sword maneuver, directly split it into pieces.
Not even a slight explosion was produced, and it directly obliterated.
“This!”
Looking at the result, Lin Ran’s heart couldn’t help but be shocked, he could feel that although this sword of Tianxuanzi’s seemed simple and unadorned.
However, the power contained within it was simply not something he could resist.
“Master! This sword of yours is too powerful!”
Lin Ran said.
Tian Xuanzi heard this but shook his head and said.
“You’re wrong! It’s not that my sword is too powerful, but that you underestimate him too much!”
Said Tian Xuanzi as he got up and looked at Lin Ran.
“The Lancang Sword Technique is a method that is not pa*sed down from my Sword Immortal Sect, so it is only right that you hold it in high regard!”
“But you must remember, a sword technique is a sword technique, if you attach these so-called clan legacies, it will make you feel that this sword technique is very powerful!”
“But in reality, sword techniques are all broken out by people, and even the most powerful sword techniques will be surpa*sed one day!”
“I’m just telling you this because I hope you can understand one thing, there is no high or low sword technique, the most important thing is your own cultivation!”
Speaking here, Tian Xuanzi then looked at Lin Ran and said in a serious tone.
“I heard Su Sa say earlier that you had been cultivating at the waterfall for three months!”
“This time, your outburst made me discover a problem!”
“What problem?”
Lin Ran was busy asking, although he had made progress in his own sword technique during these three months of hard practice, it had never been that great.
And now it also felt like the rate of progress had sharply decreased by a lot, leaving him helpless.
Maybe the problem his own master saw could help him.
“The sword intent is too straight!”
Tian Xuanzi looked at Lin Ran and said.
“Sword intent is too straight?”
Lin Ran was stunned.
Tian Xuanzi, however, nodded his head and continued.
“In other words, it means that your sword intent isn’t spontaneous enough, it’s still a little deliberate!”
“Don’t you feel that your attacks are too sharp? It’s easy for the opponent to gain insight into your intentions!”
“Because the sword intent is too strong and the intent is too obvious!”
“Too obvious in intent?”
Lin Ran was stunned at his words.
“But Master, shouldn’t all powerful sword moves be as profit-like as sheathing a sword?”
Lin Ran asked.
Tianxuanzi shook his head at his words and said.
“Have you ever seen any top swordsman walk down the street with his aura all emanating out, letting others know that his sword skills are through the roof?”
“That!”
Lin Ran was dumbfounded, indeed there really didn’t seem to be any.
“Whether it’s a fight or a life and death struggle, the fight is not just about strength, but also about wisdom!”
Tian Xuanzi said.
“If you are only strong, but don’t have the brains to hide your intentions, then no matter how strong you are, your opponent will have a way to deal with it!”
“Whether it’s trickery or escape, aren’t they all ways?”
“As the saying goes, a great intellect is a fool, and a heavy sword has no edge! The highest realm of the sword dao is actually returning to the basics!”
“Returning to the basics?”
Lin Ran was stunned at his words.
“That’s right! It is returning to the basics!”
“It’s not just a realm, it’s a means to an end!”
“A truly strong person doesn’t write it on his face, and similarly a truly powerful person won’t let you gain insight into his intentions, do you understand?”
Tian Xuanzi said.
Lin Ran nodded at his words, although he couldn’t fully understand how those words would help him in his sword dao at the moment.
But since Tianxuanzi had said so, he thought that it would really be useful.
“Master, then how am I going to cultivate Lian next?”
Lin Ran asked busily.
“What about the Purple Thorn Puppet that I gave you last time?”
Tianxuanzi asked.
“It’s here!”
Lin Ran busily waved his hand and released the amethyst puppet within the spatial scroll.
“Master!”
Seeing Tianxuanzi, the Amethyst Puppet was busy saluting.
“Mm!”
“You can just cultivate here, where you can always study the Sword Tablet, and at the same time let him be your companion!”
Tian Xuanzi said, while looking at the Amethyst Puppet.
“You’ll accompany him to hone his sword skills, gain insight into his intentions, and see the moves through!”
“Use this to sharpen his understanding and use of sword techniques! Reach the Realm of Returning to the Essence as soon as possible!”
“Yes Master!”
The amethyst puppet busily said.
“Master, is there such a rush?”
Lin Ran was stunned at his words, Tian Xuanzi had even said that returning to the realm of truth was a realm, since it was a realm how could one reach it so quickly.
“Do you think you have enough time?”
Tianxuanzi asked as he looked at Lin Ran.
“There’s another six months until the sect competition, are you confident that you can beat Bai Chang?”
“Bai Chang?”
Lin Ran was stunned, Bai Chang was at the early stage of the Third Dao Realm, although he was only one realm more than himself, there was a substantial difference between the Third Dao Realm and the Dao of Enlightenment Realm.
The Enlightenment Realm only had one dao, but the Three Dao Realm had a full three dao, and the difference was clear to see.
“Disciple understands!”
Lin Ran said, while looking at Tian Xuanzi and saying.
“Master, there is one more thing that my disciple would like to ask Master for!”
“Go ahead!”
Tianxuanzi said.
“I also need herbs that can cure divine sense, I wonder where I can get them?”
Lin Ran asked busily.
“In four months’ time, there will be a grand auction in East Flag City, you can go and take a look then!”
Tian Xuanzi said.
“Many thanks, Master!”
Lin Ran smiled and said with a busy arch.
“Alright, that’s all I can help you with, cultivate well, if you can win the clan competition only Bai Chang, I will take you to a place then!”
Tianxuanzi said.
“Go to a place? Where to?”
Lin Ran smiled and asked busily.
“You’ll know when the time comes! Cultivate well!”
Said Tian Xuanzi, and with a flash of his body, he left the place.
Lin Ran looked at the entire space with only himself and the Amethyst Puppet left not only was he helpless.
It was fine if he himself was a cultivation freak, did he think that Master was also someone who liked to save face.
“Ai! But yes, as the disciple of the sect master, if I lose to Bai Chang my own face won’t look good either!”
Lin Ran sighed helplessly, and immediately drew his Condensing Frost Sword, ready to spar with the Amethyst Puppet.
