Chapter 48 Laying the Foundation for the Sword



Fan Tong and others were surprised to see Long Aotian's current condition.

The Great Elder's expression was solemn as he whispered, "Look, his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining."

The elders murmured.

"His spiritual roots were damaged, and it would have been difficult for him to advance until they were repaired."

"And the innate sword body is also slowly recovering."

Everyone turned to look at Qin Keqing questioningly. Fan Tong asked in a low voice, "What is he doing?"

Before Qin Keqing could answer, Chu Nan quickly said, "He is comprehending the essence of the sword technique."

Hearing this, Fan Tong's cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and he stroked his beard with his hand, revealing a smug look.

"The essence of the Qingxuan Sword Art is infinitely profound. Long Aotian is indeed worthy of being an innate sword body and a top-grade heavenly sword spiritual root. Just by hearing the profound meaning for the first time, he was able to be touched and then comprehend the foundation of his sword path."

"The foundation of swordsmanship?" Chu Nan asked in a low voice, puzzled.

The elder was in a good mood. Although he didn't particularly like Chu Nan, he patiently explained,

"Everyone is different, and their understanding of the sword is also different, and thus the foundation of the sword is also different. To lay a foundation for the sword requires sufficient talent and a unique understanding of the sword. Most sword cultivators in the Jindan stage can lay a sword foundation, and some cannot even do it in the Jindan stage."

Chu Nan couldn't help but be shocked.

[Long Aotian's talent is incredible. If he were in any other novel, he would definitely be the protagonist.]

What a shame! Since Long Aotian was born, why was Ye Chen born? This world is destined to have Ye Chen as the true king, and Long Aotian can only dim under Ye Chen's brilliance.

Qin Keqing nodded secretly, thinking that Long Aotian was so talented that he was no less talented than the protagonist Ye Chen. He could even comprehend the profound meaning of the sword technique that Chu Nan had made up. However,

I hope Long Aotian won’t go astray on the path of swordsmanship from now on.

Everyone looked at Long Aotian, waiting for him to completely establish the foundation of the sword.

Although Long Aotian is now comprehending the mysteries and laying the foundation for the sword, it is still unknown whether he can really lay the foundation for the sword.

Suddenly, a faint sword intent spread out from Long Aotian's body.

This means that Long Aotian’s sword foundation has been laid.

Long Aotian opened his eyes, his gaze like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath. He stood up, and the sword energy swirling around him was still the same as before, but there was a difference inside, and it contained a mystery.

"Good! Good! Good!" Fan Tong said three good words in a row.

The smile and excitement on the face of the Great Elder could not be concealed at all, "Aotian is indeed worthy of being the chosen son of heaven. Even if Ye Chen's sword body was intact, it would be impossible for him to lay the foundation for the sword in the Qi Refining Stage."

Fan Tong was very proud, with his hands behind his back, smiling happily, "My Qingxuan Sword Technique is still profound. Aotian has laid the foundation for swordsmanship with just a preliminary understanding. As long as he continues to practice the Qingxuan mysteries in the future, his achievements will be unimaginable."

Hearing this, Chu Nan felt very guilty and lowered his head without saying a word.

Qin Keqing hesitated to speak, not knowing whether she should tell her master and the elders that what Long Aotian had comprehended was not the profound meaning of the Qingxuan Sword Technique at all.

Long Aotian felt that he had broken through the eighth level of Qi Refining. Although the sword's spiritual root was damaged, the speed at which it absorbed spiritual energy was much faster than before. Even the damaged sword body had a slight, imperceptible repair.

Everything is getting better.

Long Aotian held his head high and chest puffed out, speaking in a clear voice, "It really is worthy of being the secret of the Qingxuan Sword Technique. It is extraordinary. I have seen the avenue of the future, hahahaha."

Long Aotian was in the state of being the only one in the world who was superior to others as he had just comprehended the profound meaning. He left the hall arrogantly and rudely.

Fan Tong and the elders were very happy at this time and did not blame Long Aotian for his rudeness.

Chu Nan felt guilty and said hurriedly, "Master, elders, I have to go back and clean up the yard. I will leave first."

After saying that, he slipped away.

Fan Tong and the other elders looked at Qin Keqing with satisfaction. The Great Elder praised, "Keqing, it must be you who shared your understanding of the profound meaning of the Qingxuan Sword Technique with Aotian, so he was able to understand it, right? Well done."

"Actually, no." Qin Keqing bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell everyone the truth, so she said, "Long Aotian didn't comprehend the profound meaning of the Qingxuan Sword Technique."

Everyone was stunned. "If it's not the secret of the Qingxuan Sword Technique, could it be the secret of the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Qin Keqing shook her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed to speak, and then said, "Yes, Chu Nan just made up the general outline of the secret."

Everyone frowned, looking puzzled and disbelieving, waiting for Qin Keqing to explain.

Qin Keqing slowly opened her mouth and explained the main points of Chu Nan's secrets, saying, "The main points of the secrets are just three sentences: no woman in your heart, draw the sword naturally, and the first principle of the sword technique is to forget your lover..."

Fan Tong and all the elders looked at each other.

So, what did Long Aotian realize?

The Great Elder was already dissatisfied with Chu Nan for sneaking into the ranks of his disciples. When he heard Chu Nan's nonsense about the general principles of the profound principles that would harm their innate sword bodies, he could not help but be furious. He shouted at Qin Keqing, "Go and bring Chu Nan to me."

The young elder shook his head and smiled, "No need to go."

"Hmm?" The Great Elder looked at the Young Elder in confusion.

The young elder explained, "How can these three sentences not be the profound meaning of the sword technique? 'Without women in mind, the sword is naturally divine.' This means that if a swordsman can achieve the state of being free from the shackles of love between men and women, possessing a pure heart and being purely loyal to his sword, then even drawing the sword will have its own divine charm, something extraordinary."

Qin Keqing was a little confused. Is this okay?

Everyone seemed to be thinking about something.

The young elder continued, "Let me ask everyone here, who has achieved purity, who has achieved a life without women in their hearts? That's why Aotian can comprehend this profound meaning. His sword path will surely surpass ours in the future."

The young elder's last few words were powerful and unquestionable, and it was obvious that he had unparalleled confidence in Long Aotian's future.
