Xiao Yuhan seemed to be thinking about something, and then continued, "Sword cultivators are different from ordinary cultivators. If you, Senior Brother, were to reach the Dao Integration Realm, you would be invincible in the world. However, in this era, there seems to be a law in the world that is suppressing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. So I want to know if you felt anything when you entered the Dao Integration Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiantang seemed to have thought of something, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and said, "There is a woman, a sword, and some rules suppressing something. I don't know the specific connection, but the woman's appearance... is somewhat similar to that of my junior sister Bai Yao."

After speaking, Liu Jiantang looked at Xiao Yuhan with icy eyes.

Xiao Yuhan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "So, Senior Brother actually came here today for Junior Nephew Bai Yao?"

"I want to know her true identity. When she broke through to the Golden Core Realm, I sensed an unusual demonic power. At that time, Senior Brother Qingyun told me not to interfere, so I never mentioned it. But today I want to ask you, Junior Brother, who exactly is she?"

Xiao Yuhan shook his head, "She is my disciple, Bai Yao, a disciple of my Heavenly Sword Sect, and your niece!"

Liu Jiantang scoffed, "If she does something to betray the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, what will you do, Junior Brother? Will you show favoritism as you have today?"

"She won't do that; she loves the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"But she's a demon!"

Xiao Yuhan stared at Liu Jiantang, her eyes filled with anger, and said with unusual firmness, "She is not!"

Liu Jiantang stared at him, and the two remained silent for a long time. After a while, Liu Jiantang said, "Junior brother... do you know what you look like to me right now?"

"Like what?"

"You're deceiving yourself! Compared to before, you have indeed changed a lot. You're not as decisive and ruthless as before, but you've also become childish. If I hadn't watched you grow up, I would even think that you've been possessed. Do you know that? Your senior brother once secretly tested you and probed your soul, but there were no signs of possession. So I'm very curious, what exactly caused this change in you?"

Xiao Yuhan was taken aback and became somewhat worried. However, upon closer reflection, she realized that even her senior brother, with his strength, couldn't tell that she wasn't Xiao Yuhan. It seemed that not everyone knew about her being a transmigrator. Currently, there were only two people who were certain that she was a transmigrator.

One is "it", and the other is Jiang Yining, whom I met in Kunlun. I can still understand "it". But who exactly is Jiang Yining? From that conversation, it can be seen that she doesn't seem to be a time traveler.

However, facing Liu Jiantang's gaze, Xiao Yuhan did not think about it further and simply replied, "Senior brother, just think of it as because of Bai Yao. Do you remember those ten years of confinement? When I was in confinement in the back mountain, I thought a lot and reflected on my actions over the years. Moreover, from the moment I came out of the back mountain and saw this girl, I was very surprised. How could there be such pure eyes in this world? How should I put it? I don't know why, but I just really want to see more pure eyes like this."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiantang burst into laughter, "I think I understand what you mean, junior brother, you want to become a saint."

"Huh? When did I say I wanted to be a saint?"

"Isn't that right? You said that Junior Sister Bai Yao's eyes are pure and you want there to be more eyes like that in the world. Isn't that trying to be a saint? Sigh... Naive! Foolish! Stupid! Like a child!"

Despite Liu Jiantang's words, a hint of admiration for Xiao Yuhan appeared in his eyes. The two brothers drank in silence, and after some time, Liu Jiantang suddenly spoke again: "Junior brother, do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yuhan was somewhat surprised. In fact, after learning that his senior brother had entered the Dao through the sword, he had been thinking of doing the same as his senior brother Liu Jiantang and mastering the strength that truly belonged to him. However, he did not expect that his senior brother would bring this up at this time.

Before Xiao Yuhan could answer, Liu Jiantang pointed a finger at Xiao Yuhan's forehead, and suddenly, Xiao Yuhan felt as if she had entered an illusion.

It was a precipice. Liu Jiantang stood before the precipice, facing the dazzling sunlight. Liu Jiantang stood alone with his sword between heaven and earth.

He unleashed his first sword strike, the blade slicing through the sky and severing the giant peak before him. His second strike severed the great river flowing below the mountain.

With the third sword strike, the mountains were leveled; with the fourth, the clouds dispersed, and the blazing sun seemed to dim slightly.

Only during the fifth sword strike, Liu Jiantang stood still and did not swing it. In the illusion, he turned to look at Xiao Yuhan and just kept watching, remaining silent.

Xiao Yuhan didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he felt that his senior brother Liu Jiantang in front of him had thousands of sword moves that he hadn't used yet. Just by standing there, he was already the strongest sword.

At this moment, Xiao Yuhan broke free from the illusion and turned to look at Liu Jiantang in utter surprise, "Senior brother, is this the way of the sword?"

"So do you understand now?"

"I don't understand! Why are you so powerful? Is it just because you've attained enlightenment through the sword?"

Liu Jiantang smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "Thinking back now, when I was young and just starting out in my cultivation, being able to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator while only at the Qi Refining stage was not a dream. In the many years that followed, I focused on sword techniques and the sword itself, but neglected my own strength, and thus paid a heavy price for it. Junior brother, what I just gave you is my understanding of the sword. Study it carefully; it will greatly benefit you. Don't rely on external forces anymore. Although the Blood King Gu is powerful, it is not your own power."

Xiao Yuhan remained silent. He understood the reasoning, but how could he easily achieve enlightenment through the sword? Although he could see the sword intent his senior brother had taught him, he was unable to wield such a sword.
