Divine Sword Sect.

A towering mountain, as sharp as a sword, pierces the clouds.

Scattered around the mountain peaks are luxurious cave dwellings, the residences of the sect's core disciples.

"Look, that Crippled Chen is out fetching water again!"

"Hehe, this Crippled Chen is really pitiful. It is said that he was the young master of a certain family and the fiancé of Senior Sister Xinrou. I never thought he would end up in such a miserable state!"

The servants laughed loudly.

The person they were mocking was Chen Tianwen.

That day, he was dragged by Xu Xinrou for thousands of miles, resulting in the disability of his right leg and leaving him a semi-crippled person!

At this moment, Chen Tianwen, dressed in coarse linen clothes, limped as he carried a wooden bucket to fetch water.

Xu Xinrou has a bad temper and is ruthless. She makes him wipe the cave a hundred times a day. If there is even a speck of dust, he will be whipped!

Every day is inhuman torture!

During this time, the Chen family learned of Chen Tianwen's situation and did send people to ransom him.

Instead, every time someone was sent, Xu Xinrou ordered them to be killed, preventing them from even entering the gates of the Divine Sword Sect.

No matter how the Chen family pleaded for justice, the Divine Sword Sect remained aloof, looking down on ants playing around!

After all, one is a core disciple with a bright future, and the other is a small family in a remote area. The Divine Sword Sect knows which one to choose even with their eyes closed!

"Xu Xinrou, don't give me a chance, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Chen Tianwen's heart was filled with endless hatred.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably lose their fighting spirit and become numb under such daily torment.

But Chen Tianwen wouldn't.

He couldn't believe he would be a servant for the rest of his life!

However, turning things around is easier said than done.

After entering the Divine Sword Sect, Xu Xinrou's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and she became a Foundation Establishment cultivator in less than a hundred days.

With such cultivation, he could be considered a local tyrant in his hometown, a desolate city!

Chen Tianwen, on the other hand, was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining and had a limp!

"Chen Tianwen, you've taken this long to clean the cave, you piece of trash, worse than a pig or a dog!"

Xu Xinrou, with a cold face and a venomous smile, lashed Chen Tianwen with her long whip.

Snap!

With a crack of the whip, a bloody gash appeared on Chen Tianwen's body.

A sharp pain shot through him, but the boy gritted his teeth, refusing to utter a single groan.

"Chen the Cripple, I don't believe you can keep being so tough forever!" Xu Xinrou sneered.

The more Chen Tianwen refused to beg for mercy, the more agitated she became!

We must beat him until he's like a dog, wagging his tail and begging for mercy!

"Junior sister, please calm down." A young man in white robes carrying a long sword appeared gracefully.

It was the young man who had followed Xu Xinrou that day.

Upon seeing the young man in white robes, the sinister and vicious look on Xu Xinrou's face immediately vanished, replaced by a sweet smile. She bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Song."

The young man in white robes smiled gently, bypassed Chen Tianwen, and, holding a book, approached Xu Xinrou.

“Junior sister, in a few days, the Sword Tomb will open. This is a complete scroll of the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique. You have excellent aptitude. You only need to comprehend a little bit to make your sword cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. At that time, the two of us will venture into the Sword Tomb together and earn a qualification to enter the Sword Pavilion!” said the white-robed youth.

Spring and Autumn Sword Technique, one of the three great sword techniques of the Divine Sword Sect!

When cultivated to its highest level, the birth and death of all things occur in an instant, making it an unparalleled power.

Three hundred years ago, the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect, Divine Sword Heaven, relied on the perfected Spring and Autumn Sword Technique to evolve three thousand sword intents in a single thought, slaying a Nascent Soul demon and quelling a demonic calamity that could have swept across the entire Qingzhou!

This battle solidified the Divine Sword Sect's reputation as one of the five major sects of Qingzhou.

The reputation of the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique rose with this battle, gradually becoming known as one of the three great sword techniques of the Divine Sword Sect.

"The Spring and Autumn Sword Technique is so powerful, Senior Brother Song just gave it to me like that. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the sect?"

Xu Xinrou held the Spring and Autumn Sword Manual with obvious affection, her tone tinged with worry.

Senior Brother Song shook his head and chuckled, "Junior Sister, you've just become a core disciple, so there are some things you're still unclear about."

"Although the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique is powerful, it is different from other martial arts techniques. As long as you are a core disciple, you can practice it."

"Why is that?" Xu Xinrou asked curiously.

She had only been a core disciple for less than a month and was still unfamiliar with many of the sect's rules.

"It is because the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique is somewhat special. To practice it, one must feel the changes of spring and autumn, and comprehend the essence of the spring and autumn sword technique, which embodies the withering and flourishing of all things, through the constant cycle of the four seasons."

"How long did it take you, senior brother, to comprehend the Spring and Autumn Sword Intent?"

"Twenty-one years!" Senior Brother Song shook his head and sighed, "It took me twenty-one years just to condense this one strand of Spring and Autumn Sword Intent!"

"If you can master the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique and comprehend its essence before the age of thirty, leaving a sword mark on the Sword Enlightenment Stele, you will directly catch the eye of the sect leader, become a true disciple, and have the opportunity to compete for the sect's Dao Son!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xinrou was startled!

A true disciple!

That's the goal of all the core disciples.

A figure even more esteemed than a sect elder!

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xu Xinrou carefully picked up the ancient scroll.

"Junior sister, please don't be so polite. The weather is lovely today. Please have some tea with your senior brother." Song Shixing, dressed in flowing white robes, looked like a banished immortal, detached from the world.

"Xinrou will follow Senior Brother's instructions," Xu Xinrou replied sweetly.

She led Song Shixing to sit down in the courtyard inside the cave, where they both flipped through "The Spring and Autumn Sword Technique" and brewed tea.

Song Shixing smiled and said, "Junior sister, you can just have your servant recite the cultivation method for you. There's no need to go to so much trouble. Besides, cultivating the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique takes a long time, and reading the scriptures each time is very tiring."
