Chapter Nine, De Bao

Tongtian nodded in satisfaction

Lin An quickly said: "My master has already bestowed upon me the Golden Bell and the Jade Fragrance, as well as the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner for protection"

Lin Anxin felt a slight stir in her heart, expressed her gratitude, and retreated from Biyou Palace.

The heavenly eye twitched, "I originally intended to give it to my eldest disciple, Daobao, but now it seems it has fallen to you instead"

At a glance, there are at least a hundred of them

Holding the sword sheath, which is as green as jade, one can distinctly sense a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from it

Tongtian gently nodded as if in thought, "Indeed, after bringing you back from Fenbao Cliff, I planted you on Qilin Cliff. The three of us brothers discussed the Dao and talked about the mysteries while you listened by the side... Now, tell me, what kind of impression has my swordsmanship left on you?"

Lin An did not speak.

As he spoke, he had already summoned his magical power to凝聚 a long sword in his hand, and then he gently waved it.

Looking at Lin An below, Tong Tian curiously said: "The divine powers and marvelous methods I have created are primarily based on the sword path. To what extent have you comprehended them?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the chaotic energy enveloping the surroundings immediately receded, revealing a wall adorned with celestial swords.

Lin An couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, while a phrase involuntarily emerged in his mind

I apologize, dear junior brother Daobao, whom I have yet to meet

At that moment, he quickly glanced at the sword on the wall and selected a fairy sword that was entirely a light blue color, resembling jade.

In the Biyou Palace, sitting high on the cloud bed, Tongtian gazed with great interest at Lin An below

Lin An sensed that he was being invited to demonstrate, and felt a slight joy in his heart. He quickly said: "Master Uncle's swordsmanship encompasses the heavens and the earth, vast as the sea of stars. The disciple has only grasped a little, and I humbly ask Master Uncle for guidance."

If it were only a matter of high talent in swordsmanship, that would be one thing. The key point is that compared to his disciples, this Xuan Chengzi is courteous, speaks pleasantly, and although he may appear somewhat reserved and composed, that is also influenced by his master. If it were him giving the instruction, it would certainly be quite different

Certainly, the final outcome will undoubtedly be a matter of differing opinions, with no clear distinction between them

The Azure Void Sword? I must say, you have a discerning eye

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Although you have reached the realm where even flowers and leaves can be wielded as swords, a sword is still a sword! In practicing the way of the sword, one must first be sincere towards the sword!"

Only after leaving the palace gates did he remember the purpose of his journey

Thank you for the reminder, Master Uncle

Lin An : `` ... ... ''

Under his gaze, Lin An calmly said: "Before my transformation, I stood on Qilin Cliff for countless years. Although I was ignorant and muddled, I was fortunate to witness my esteemed uncle's profound understanding of the Dao. Your swordsmanship and formations have left an indelible mark in my heart, greatly benefiting me. Therefore, upon hearing of your return today, I wished to visit Bi You Palace to pay my respects and express my gratitude to you."

A trivial matter, not worth mentioning

Thus, Lin An simply said nothing

Currently, the meaning of the phrase "listening to the heavenly conversation" suggests that this Qingming Sword appears to be the best among these celestial swords on the wall, second only to the Qingping Sword

A gentle sword intent permeated the air, transforming into numerous small swords that converged into a ceaselessly flowing waterfall, swirling around him.

Upon hearing this, Lin An realized that if he hesitated any longer, he would likely ruin the hard-earned rapport he had built up.

To be straddling two boats is truly despicable

Lin An straightened his back and said solemnly: "A three-foot green blade stands proud in the world, reaching the depths of the azure sky and the yellow springs below... Your swordsmanship has left the greatest impression on me, which is the pursuit and exploration, tireless and unstoppable. Nothing can hinder your quest for the great path"

Suppressing the desire in her eyes, Lin An felt a sense of worry for the *illustrated* book in her heart again

Lin An nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Uncle, for your guidance. I will certainly keep it in mind and strive to forge a suitable immortal sword as soon as possible"

... ...

Hmm?

At this moment, hearing the profound teachings he had established being praised by the disciples of the Yuqing lineage, Tongtian was naturally filled with joy, and the previous slight displeasure was instantly cast aside.

Inside the Biyou Palace, Tongtian could not help but let out a sigh

A disciple with such high talent in swordsmanship has actually been picked up by the second brother

Tongtian shook his head, showing no signs of the pain he had just experienced. "I see that your true immortal realm is already complete, yet the tribulation of the three disasters has yet to arrive. Perhaps it is due to your excessive caution. If you have the time, you should travel through the vast wilderness, open your heart, and broaden your horizons."

Thank you, Master Uncle, for bestowing the sword

At this moment, if one were to say something like "I have learned your swordsmanship, and I can be considered a disciple of the Supreme Clarity," it would undoubtedly garner immense favor instantly, but it would also likely provoke displeasure from one's own master

After the closure of the Zixiao Palace, the Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun Mountain to comprehend the Great Way on their own, each creating their own miraculous powers and methods.

The primordial world is not about fighting and killing; it is about human emotions and social relations

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the Qingming sword flew into Lin An's hand

Although the Three Pure Ones have never competed against each other, they have discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the marvelous methods they each pioneered

Master Tongtian is impressive

Tongtian looked at the hesitation on his face and immediately understood what he was thinking. He said irritably, "Just like your master, not straightforward at all. I bestow upon you the immortal sword, and that is my gift for our meeting. What can your master say about that?"

Well

Tongtian asked strangely, "Why, didn't your master help you forge a celestial sword?"

Lin Anxin was overjoyed, as he had initially chosen this Qingming Sword simply because it resembled the Qingping Sword the most

These celestial swords all emanate a powerful aura, some sharp and fierce, others keen and refined, and some ancient and rustic. In particular, the emerald-hued sword at the highest point stands like a proud and unparalleled king, gazing down upon all beings, exuding an air of arrogance and lofty self-regard.

Although the Three Pure Ones originate from the same source and all pay homage to the Daoist ancestor Hongjun as their master, each of the Three Pure Ones possesses its own strengths

This waterfall, formed by the essence of sword energy, seems to create a unique small world, separating Lin An from the vast world outside.

The Eye of Heaven glimmered slightly, and with a smile, it said: "Not bad, this sword has already touched the threshold of the Sword Domain. The fact that you can wield this sword at the True Immortal realm indicates that you indeed possess great talent in the way of the sword"

Wasn't it agreed that we could choose freely

Lin An gazed at the dazzling array of fairy swords, his eyes nearly glazing over

Tongtian became serious and said earnestly: "Indeed, since returning from Fenbaoya, I have been pursuing and exploring the methods of attaining enlightenment. I never expected that... the one who understands me the most is not even my own disciples."

Lin An shook his head, "The Supreme Clear Wonderful Method is vast and profound, exceedingly mysterious. Although I have noted it down, it is difficult for me to comprehend it thoroughly."

If this truly is the celestial sword bestowed by the heavens, would it not cause discomfort for the Primordial Beginning?

It seems that not a word was mentioned regarding the disposal of Jin Guangxian; instead, there was merely praise for the Shangqing Mystical Method, followed by a demonstration of one's own understanding of the swordsmanship, resulting in the acquisition of a celestial sword

Tong Tian interrupted with irritation: "Those things are fine for protection, but they are of no use in the practice of swordsmanship! Second brother, how could you not even be willing to give such a talented disciple in swordsmanship a fairy sword... Forget it, I happen to have plenty of fairy swords here, choose one for yourself."

Tong Tian merely expressed a slight sentiment and smiled as he asked, "Have you also mastered the divine abilities that I have pioneered?"

Tong Tian looked at Lin An, who was staring intently at the sword, and said with a hint of amusement: "That is the Qingping Sword; even if you stare at it until your eyes wear out, it will not be given to you."
