There is a common sense in the world of cultivation: it is easy to win by crossing levels, but it is difficult to win by crossing boundaries.

It is like you are at the Golden Core Realm, at the Soul-Cunning Stage, and you want to defeat a high-level cultivator at the Root-Seeking Stage or even the Youwei Stage. If your Golden Core grade is higher, or you possess some super-grade powerful sword or magic weapon, it is not impossible for you to defeat him.

But if the opponent is at the Nascent Soul stage, or even at the Immortal stage, there is basically no chance of winning.

Even someone as powerful as the First-Rank Golden Elixir Wei Dongliu had only been able to kill the Nascent Soul Stage wandering monk Yu Wen once with the help of the might of the Wanxiang Juexian Sword and the opponent's caution, but he had not yet completely killed him.

As for facing this black-robed Taoist priest in the immortal realm, he can still use three swords against a single sword, but he is basically no match for him when he uses two swords.

Even though Ling Yunpo was born with sword bones and the power of his flying sword was increased, he was still vulnerable under the crushing of the immortal's true energy. After a few collisions with the opponent's two swords, the power of the sword completely collapsed.

After being defeated cleanly, the old Taoist in black robes pondered for a moment and commented:

"She's barely OK, but she's more rigid than your sister, and doesn't know how to adapt in many ways. Think carefully about the advice I gave you just now, and don't waste your natural talent of 'Born Sword Bone'."

Lingyunpo: ...

I don't want to talk at all. You can do whatever you want.

"I have a rough idea of ​​your strengths." The black-robed old Taoist said in a deep voice, "It seems that Su Jian's retreat has really delayed your growth."

An Zhisu felt a little depressed when she heard this, because the grandmaster almost said that the two of them were too weak, which made her feel that she had brought shame to her master.

Ling Yunpo was used to being disliked by him, so he didn't show any expression.

"Grandmaster, I promised to reward you, and I won't break my promise. I have a secret method of sword initiation here, which can pass on the sword intent I have practiced for many years to any one of you." The old Taoist in black robe finally said, "Who among you will receive this sword intent?"

"Why not let Junior Brother come to take over?" An Zhisu said first, "Junior Brother is much better than me. In the early years, our Qingluo Peak was isolated in Shushan, and it was Junior Brother's careful planning that broke the impasse!"

Of course, she had seen the Grand Master's disdain for Junior Brother Ling the whole time, but she also knew that the old man had a bad temper and she certainly couldn't go against him, so she could only try to make peace with him indirectly.

"Yes." The old Taoist in black robe was very satisfied. "You are not arrogant when you win, and you are not discouraged when you lose. You are worthy of being a disciple trained by Su Jian. It is a blessing for your junior brother to have a senior sister like you."

"Just give it to Senior Sister." Seeing the black-robed Taoist's clear attitude, Ling Yunpo said hurriedly.

"Humph." The black-robed Taoist said unhappily, "Even if you are a senior sister and a junior brother, you are still half a beat behind? You should be the first one to speak out about this kind of thing!"

Ling Yunpo was already numb, so he pretended not to hear it, but secretly instructed Kunlun Jing:

"Ah Jing, please help me see clearly. If this thief is pretending to be taught by me personally, but is actually trying to seize Senior Sister An's body, you must help me stop him!"

"I understand." Kunlun Jing silently watched the other party practice the skills, "It's not a possession, it's just an ordinary sword intent inheritance."

"The so-called sword intent is the pure perception of the sword." Qingping Sword explained, "For example, if the opponent attacks with this move, what move should I use to block it? To put it simply, sword intent is the combination of these experiences. Not only does it not contain souls and consciousness, it does not even have memories. Master Sword Master does not need to worry too much."

"Humph, why would this thief look at my senior sister with new eyes? Maybe he has evil intentions." Ling Yunpo said suspiciously, "It's better to be careful!"

"Wait, your Senior Sister An is not weak either." Kunlun Jing asked in surprise, "She is the owner of the Natural Sword Heart? The 'Natural' Sword Heart."

"Shut up, Broken Mirror! Of course I know." Ling Yunpo said unhappily.

The black-robed Taoist gave the sword power to An Zhisu, who looked much weaker. He turned around and said to Ling Yunpo:

"Grandmaster, I am never partial. Since your senior sister has obtained the sword spirit, I will not leave you out. I heard that after Su Jian went into seclusion, he did not leave you the Seven Killing Swordsmanship of the Golden Core Realm?"

Lingyunpo: ...

Great! This is too much bias! It's fine to give the sword spirit to my senior sister, but how come it becomes a sword art inheritance when it comes to me? You taught me the sword art, so how can I not teach my senior sister?

So it means that senior sister can win twice, right?

But when I think about it carefully, since my senior sister has inherited the sword spirit, she will teach me whatever she has learned, so it doesn’t matter.

The black-robed Taoist priest silently recited the Golden Core Realm swordsmanship to him through voice transmission, and finally said weakly:

"Okay, I'm going to fall into deep sleep. When I wake up next time, I don't know whether I'm alive or dead, or when... If Su Jian comes out of seclusion one day, you can ask him to come see me."

After saying this, his voice was cut off and disappeared completely.

Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu bowed respectfully to the old Taoist in black robe before turning around and leaving.

Returning to Qingluo Peak of Shu Mountain, Ling Yunpo recited the sword techniques he had learned to his senior sister and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect to gain such a lot from this trip. As expected, Master, who usually doesn't write a diary, wrote this matter down solemnly, deliberately leaving it for us to notice."

"Indeed." An Zhisu also smiled and said, "With the sword power bestowed by my master, my spiritual awareness has also grown rapidly. I think I will be able to break through to the spiritual stage soon."

Lingyunpo: ???

"Can sword intent promote the growth of spiritual awareness?" he asked Qingping Jiandao hurriedly.

"Sword intent, as a part of perception, can certainly promote the growth of spiritual consciousness." Qingping Sword said faintly, "It's like when you pour water into a bucket, whether it's well water, rain water, or mountain spring water, the water in the bucket will become more and more."

Damn it, the old Taoist in black robe is still partial! Ling Yunpo was indignant.

With the help of the sword power of this grandmaster, An Zhisu's cultivation level must have improved by leaps and bounds. I have to break through to the Soul Preserving Stage as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the time comes to seize the Sky-Repairing Stone, I will be too far behind this senior sister in strength. Then I will not be able to win the fight, and I will not be able to escape. That will be very troublesome!

"Ah Jing! Reload the save file Luo Yan! I want Miss Shi's wisdom to help me break through!"

[Point 3: Penglai Yuqing Temple, Tiangong Workshop. ]

[Character identity: Luo Yan. ]

[The Mirror Flower and Water Moon template is overwritten, and time travel is in progress. 】

Deep under Yuqing Temple, Luo Yan once again optimized a part of Penglai's protective formation. Then he spoke a few words to the elder guarding the gate. Then he went back to Tiangong Workshop to find Miss Shi, wanting her to calculate where his chance of "breaking through" might lie.

It turned out that Miss Shi had recently made a batch of flying swords and planned to send them to Fanghufang Market to sell, so they were not in Tiangongfang.

If she calculated carefully, when she returned, she should meet Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian on the way, and thus find the ruins of the Donghua Sect.

In that case, I will just wait for her in the temple.
