Lin Hai was stunned when he heard this, his expression becoming complicated. Sword Intentions... who wouldn't want to comprehend Sword Intentions if they practiced swordsmanship?
He sat down next to Xiang Jianjue and sighed softly, "Jianjue, sword spirit can only be encountered by chance, you are still young, there is no need to rush."
Xiang Jianjue frowned, "But you said, Senior Brother, that when Senior Xiang Sheng was my age, he was already at the peak of the Mastery Realm and was only one step away from comprehending the Sword Intent, while I'm still stuck at the Rough Mastery Realm."
Lin Hai laughed dumbly, "Jian Jue, you have good talent, but not everyone can be as self-taught as that person. You are not her, so why do you have to follow her in everything?"
Xiang Jianjue fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Sheng's eyes flashed, and a hint of deep thought passed through his eyes.
Yes, Lin Hai said it well.
Xiang Jian is definitely not her. She has a mature soul from her previous life, has been influenced by Si Wu Li for a long time in her dreams, and has also experienced disasters and hardships that ordinary people can hardly imagine, which have tempered her mind.
When it comes to background, knowledge, mind, and thinking, let alone a young man like Xiang Jianjue, most cultivators in the world of cultivation are far inferior to her.
It was indeed excessive for her to use her own standards to hold Xiang Jianjue to a certain standard.
Xiang Sheng's thoughts changed slightly, but the conversation in the small hall continued.
Xiang Jianjue's eyes were clear, and his tone was calm, unlike a teenager: "Big Brother, I understand what you mean, but besides studying that video, how else can I seek a breakthrough in the sword realm?"
Lin Hai was stunned for a moment. He found that he couldn't answer this question.
After a moment of silence, Lin Hai sighed and said, "Jian Jue, there are very few people who practice swordsmanship purely in the entire cultivation world. In the Wanjian Sect, apart from the classics of our ancestors, no one can lead you forward.
Among the five major sects... maybe someone has gone ahead of you. If you want to go, I can..."
"Big Brother, I don't want to go!"
Xiang Jianjue interrupted Lin Hai with a firm voice, "You picked me up and raised me, this is my home, I'm not going anywhere!
I've read in ancient texts that the most important aspect of sword cultivation is cultivating the mind. Although I only partially understand this, if one truly abandons their family for the sake of the sword, their Daoist heart will certainly not be strong. Even if they go to a good place or learn from a great master, their efforts will be in vain."
Lin Hai's eyes were sore after hearing this, and he was very relieved, "Jian Jue, you really have grown up."
Xiang Jianjue pursed his lips and revealed a shy smile, but he was not used to it, so he put it away in an instant and returned to his usual cold face.
The atmosphere relaxed for a moment. Lin Hai pondered for a moment, then brought the conversation back to the point, saying, "There are thousands of paths to cultivation, and sword cultivation is the most difficult. If you cling to it and your cultivation stagnates, you will only delay yourself."
Xiang Jianjue pursed his lips tightly, "...Big Brother, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"
Lin Hai's face was slightly solemn. "In another six months, you will be sixteen years old. You have top-grade spiritual roots. If you had focused on cultivating your true essence, you would have already reached the late stage of foundation building. But now you are only in the early stage. Ask yourself, how much time has been wasted?"
Xiang Jianjue's face was full of struggle, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Lin Hai couldn't bear to push him too much, so he softened his tone and tried to persuade him earnestly: "The sword servant method passed down in our sect is to respect the sword as the main thing. Although the power is not as strong as that of a pure sword cultivator, it is still much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator.
Jian Jue, you are in the golden period of your cultivation. Too much obsession will only harm yourself."
Xiang Sheng was listening outside, frowning slightly.
To serve the sword as the master is to be a sword servant.
She had seen this kind of sword training method in the sword manual.
For a sword cultivator, the sword is the human, and should always be subordinate to the human. If one prioritizes the sword, but fails to cultivate the sword's heart, the heart will take a step back. For an orthodox sword cultivator, this is a complete reversal of priorities.
However, if one does not have a high talent for swordsmanship, this path can be considered an alternative and will not be considered a waste of oneself.
With Jian Jue's talent in swordsmanship, not to mention the sword intent, it is more than enough for him to follow the orthodox path of sword cultivation. If he really changes to cultivating a sword servant, it would be a real waste of talent.
Xiang Jianjue in the small hall also seemed unwilling to give up. He struggled for a while, but ultimately did not compromise. He raised his voice and said, "Big Brother, give me another sixteen years. In six months, I will be sixteen years old. If I still can't break through to the mastery realm..."
At this point, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will switch to becoming a swordsman!"
Lin Hai's brows relaxed, "Okay!"
He never expected Xiang Jianjue to change his stubborn temper immediately, and it was already very difficult to get him to relax verbally.
From childhood to adulthood, Xiang Jianjue has been extremely sensible, and his mind as a young man is rare and clear, and he knows what he wants.
Now that we have made our point, let time take care of the rest.
Without saying anything more, he stood up and left the small hall. When he came out, the children gathered at the door immediately dispersed.
Lin Hai glanced casually and saw Xiang Sheng standing among the children. His eyes softened immediately. He walked over and squatted in front of Xiang Sheng. He stretched out his hand to touch the hair on her forehead, but Xiang Sheng turned her head away.
Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's so late, why don't you go back? Aren't you afraid that your mother will worry?"
"Goodbye, Big Brother."
He replied to Xiang Sheng and turned and ran away.
Lin Hai stood up and watched her leave, feeling a little strange. For some reason, he always felt that this child seemed to dislike him?
…
Xiang Jianjue knelt in the small temple for two days and two nights. On the evening of the third day, he came to the familiar pond. Recalling the sword that was almost engraved in his bones, he raised the sword and was about to start, when the sword in his hand suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
What’s going on?!
His face changed slightly, and he tried his best to hold the hilt of the sword. However, the force in the sword suddenly increased, and he was caught off guard. The spirit sword flew out of his hand and danced in the air.
