By the time Fengjiu reacted and wanted to stop him, it was too late. Wuchen's figure turned into a shadow again and returned to his previous position.
When everyone saw the jade sword, they were all shocked.
"Chaos Sword!"
"It is rumored that this sword contains the Chaos Sword Sutra, which no one in the Sword Sect has been able to comprehend for millions of years."
"This is the inheritance that the Sword God left to the Xuantian Sword Sect, and Wuchen actually gave it away."
"Compared to this meeting gift, that Fulong Pill seems insignificant!"
Listening to the discussions around her, Fengjiu's expression turned a little ugly.
She never expected that these guys would poach her employees right in front of her without telling her.
It would be a fool not to take advantage of an opportunity. Li Lingge naturally would not return the jade sword he had obtained.
What's more, there is also the inheritance of the Sword God.
However, he still looked bewildered and turned slightly to look at Fengjiu.
"Master, this—"
Fengjiu took a deep breath. He naturally didn't want your brother to accept this jade sword and have anything to do with Xuantian Sword Sect.
But Wu Chen just said that this was just a meeting gift, and as a master, she couldn't let Li Lingge refuse directly.
"You're so generous that you're willing to give the Chaos Sword to my disciple, Wuchen!"
Wu Chen didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Lingge meaningfully.
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Fengjiu noticed something was wrong and immediately turned to look behind her.
The Chaos Jade Sword in Li Lingge's hand trembled slightly, and the sword intent soared into the sky.
Two completely opposite sword energies, one black and one white, circled around him like two swimming dragons. The yin and yang energies were entangled with each other yet clearly separated, forming a slowly rotating Tai Chi pattern under his feet.
Li Lingge closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into some mysterious state of enlightenment.
He stood there motionless, holding the Chaos Jade Sword, as if all the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.
In his perception, the entire world was rapidly fading away - the people refining pills beside him, the whispers of the major forces observing him from afar, and even the clouds drifting across the sky, all faded away like ink being washed away by water.
"This is……"
Li Lingge was slightly surprised, but not panicked.
He had read in ancient books that when a sword practitioner reaches a certain level, he will enter a state of "sword heart clarity", and everything he sees before his eyes is false, and only the true meaning of swordsmanship remains forever.
In this empty space, a figure slowly emerged.
The man had a handsome face that didn't look like an ordinary person. Although his figure looked a little ethereal and transparent, Li Lingge recognized him at a glance.
Those eyes as deep as the stars, and the supreme sword intent flowing around his body, were exactly the image of the Sword God that he had seen when he obtained the power of the Sword God!
But the person in front of him was much younger than the majestic and dignified Sword God. There was less vicissitudes of life and more sharpness between his brows.
"Young man, being able to awaken this lingering memory of mine shows that you have touched the threshold of the sword path."
The young Sword God spoke, his voice like the clanging of metal, sharp enough to pierce people's hearts.
Li Lingge quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Junior Li Lingge, I pay my respects to Senior Sword God! I wonder where this place is..."
"This is the sword-intention space within the Chaos Sword." The young Sword God stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across Li Lingge's body like a sword. "A moment in the outside world can last a hundred days here. The fact that you can enter this place proves that the Chaos Sword recognizes your aptitude."
Li Lingge was shocked. He had heard people say that this sword contained the Chaos Sword Sutra, and he was a little skeptical.
But I didn't expect to enter the sword space so quickly.
The young sword god suddenly raised his hand, and a sword energy broke through the air.
The sword energy seemed simple, but it contained a certain charm of simplicity, as if it could cut through all obstacles in the world.
Li Lingge instinctively blocked with his sword, and the Chaos Sword made a clear sound, and the black and white energies automatically protected their master.
However, the sword energy penetrated his defense like nothing and hit him directly between the eyebrows.
"First question," the young Sword God's voice echoed in his mind, "What is a sword?"
This is not an ordinary question, but an interrogation that goes straight to the essence of kendo.
Li Lingge felt his soul trembling, as if it was about to be split in half by this question.
He took a deep breath and recalled every detail of his 100,000 years of guarding the Imperial Pass—holding a sword at the age of seven, receiving the true teachings at the age of twelve, challenging his peers with a sword at the age of fifteen...
"The sword is the king of all weapons," Li Lingge replied in a deep voice. "It is upright and unyielding, willing to break rather than bend. However, I believe that the true meaning of the sword lies not in its form, but in its spirit. If you have a sword in your heart, everything can become a sword; if you don't have a sword in your heart, even a famous sword is like scrap metal."
A hint of approval flashed in the young Sword God's eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference. "Second question, why do you hold a sword?"
This time, the sword energy turned into thousands of fine threads, wrapping around Li Lingge's entire body, as if to analyze every bit of his thoughts thoroughly.
Many scenes of guarding the Imperial Pass appeared in front of Li Lingge's eyes. At that time, he only knew how to use his sword to prevent the demons from setting foot into the Imperial Pass.
"At first it was for self-protection, then for protection, and now..." Li Lingge paused, "To seek the truth in my heart, the sword path has no boundaries."
"What a way to seek the truth within your heart." The young Sword Master nodded slightly. "One last question - are you willing to follow my sword path?"
Before he finished speaking, the entire space suddenly changed.
Li Lingge found himself standing in a void, with countless sword shadows appearing in all directions - there were plain wooden swords, iron swords with a cold glow, and flying swords with compelling spiritual energy... Thousands of swords rang out at the same time, and the sound shook the sky.
This is the ultimate test of kendo inheritance!
Each sword represents a kendo philosophy. Choosing one means embarking on the corresponding kendo path.
