Meng Wan listened with fascination, nodded from time to time, and admiration appeared in her eyes.
"When Brother Zixuan was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he was able to cross levels and kill an opponent at the seventh level?"
"That's the sword technique my brother practiced..."
Having said that, Shen Zihan swallowed the words back and said vaguely, "Anyway, you just need to know that my brother's swordsmanship is very powerful."
Meng Wan became more and more envious. If she had the chance, she would definitely pry the secret sword technique out of the Shen family!
On the other side, after Shen Yi called Shen Zixuan into the tent, his expression became serious.
"Zixuan, how is your training progressing?"
"Uncle, I'm a dull nephew, still stuck in the Qi training stage..."
Shen Zixuan said with some shame.
Shen Yi waved his hand, his tone gentle and genuine.
"Zixuan, you are talented and hardworking. It won't be long before you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
That Zhang Wan'er is the person you found to sharpen your swordsmanship."
Shen Zixuan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
"So, how do you feel about her now?"
Shen Yi asked with concern, a gleam in his eyes.
Shen Zixuan felt a little embarrassed, but under the caring gaze of his uncle, he finally expressed his feelings for Meng Wan.
"She's...very important. I'd rather get hurt than have her get hurt."
After listening to this, Shen Yi was not angry at all, but burst into laughter.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Chen Yi said three good words in a row, "Zixuan, you finally got it! At this level, you can almost start building your foundation."
Shen Zixuan's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something, "Uncle San, you mean..."
"good!"
Chen Yi's eyes flashed, "The key to my Shen family's swordsmanship lies in the word 'love'! You need to experience unforgettable love, and then when the love is at its strongest..."
Shen Yi leaned close to Shen Zixuan's ear and whispered a few words, and Shen Zixuan's face suddenly turned pale.
"Uncle San, does it have to be now?"
"Zixuan, I know this is cruel to you, but for the sake of our family and your future, you must make sacrifices!"
Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "Back then, your third uncle also went through this. He understands your pain and struggle."
Shen Zixuan fell silent, his heart was like a raging sea, unable to calm down for a long time.
He had known for a long time that he would experience this when he chose to take this step.
But I didn't expect that this step would be so difficult.
On one side is his beloved woman, and on the other side is the honor of his family and his own future. How should he choose?
Shen Yi looked at his nephew's painful expression and felt a little bit reluctant.
He had experienced all of this and knew the pain involved. Some of his tribesmen could not bear the pain and went mad.
So he didn't force Shen Zixuan, but just patted him on the shoulder and spoke slowly.
"Zixuan, if you kill your loved one with my Shen family's swordsmanship, you can forge a ruthless Dao foundation that is more advanced than the ordinary foundation without the need for foundation-building pills.
This ruthless Dao foundation implies the ruthlessness of the Great Dao. It will be easier to cultivate in the future, and your combat power will far exceed that of cultivators of the same level..."
Shen Zixuan suddenly looked up, and a trace of struggle and...intention flashed in his eyes.
The tent was completely silent, with only his slightly heavy breathing as the sound.
Shen Zixuan's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his clenched fists turned bluish-white due to excessive force.
Third Uncle's words echoed in his ears like a curse.
"Killing a loved one with the Shen family sword technique can forge a ruthless Dao foundation that is more advanced than the ordinary foundation..."
These words were full of temptation to him, yet they also made him feel extremely fearful and resistant.
He loved Meng Wan so much that he was even willing to give up many things for her.
But the ruthless foundation of Taoism is also what he pursues!
Shen Yi looked at his nephew struggling in pain, and his heart was filled with sighs.
He knew how cruel this path was because he himself had once killed his beloved woman with his own hands.
Only by taking this step and building the foundation of ruthlessness, can you look back and see through the word love.
“Zixuan,” Shen Yi’s voice was low and hoarse, “You don’t have to rush to make a decision. I know this is cruel to you, and you still have time to think about it.”
Chen Yi patted his shoulder and said, “This time the ancient cultivator’s cave is opened. It is full of dangers, but it also contains great opportunities.
We will take Zhang Wan'er in and wait for the right time..."
He paused and didn't continue, but Shen Zixuan already understood what he meant.
"Uncle San, I..."
Shen Zixuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
"Go, Zixuan," Shen Yi said with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.
"For the sake of your family and your future, you must make a choice.
Remember, you are the hope of the Shen family and cannot be trapped by personal feelings!"
Shen Zixuan took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and bowed deeply to Shen Yi.
"Zixuan understands and will definitely live up to Third Uncle's expectations!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the tent, his back looking desolate and lonely.
Shen Yi looked at his nephew's departing back, a complex look flashed in his eyes, with regret, reluctance, but more of determination.
He knew that once he embarked on this path, there would be no turning back.
Shen Zixuan walked out of his uncle's tent with his mind in a mess.
He looked at another tent not far away, his heart filled with pain and struggle.
