Chapter 1010: If You Want to Learn, Put Everything Down (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

He placed the diagrams on a stone table inside the stone room.

“Marquis Zhenbei, please swear that you will never reveal the contents of these two diagrams, including what you have learned from them!”

Looking at the Sword Master’s serious expression, Shen Ping immediately swore. An oath has no power over him at all. However, this world believed in it very much. This was because once one violated it, it was very easy to go berserk when breaking through to the Immortal realm. If Shen Ping was an Immortal Realm expert, the Sword Master would definitely not let him see it no matter what.

After swearing an oath, the Sword Master heaved a sigh of relief and slowly opened the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers.

The two diagrams were not much different from the ones in Seeping River Academy. They were drawn from some of the mountains and rivers in this world. Most importantly, the lines drawn and the outline of the scenery formed the true inheritance of the Sword Dao.

Just as Shen Ping had expected, these two diagrams contained the first three levels of the Taiyi Sword Dao, but there was no general outline. Not to mention others, even he could not cultivate it. After all, this was the Sword Dao, not some minor Dao.

The Sword Master stared at Shen Ping. When his gaze left the diagrams, he asked impatiently, “How was it? Did you comprehend anything from it?”

“It’s the content of a set of sword techniques. Unfortunately, it’s incomplete. Moreover, it lacks the most important content and can’t be cultivated. I’ve also seen five diagrams in Seeping River Academy. They’re both sword techniques. To be honest, these two diagrams also have two sets of sword techniques. They’re slightly inferior to the real content, but they’re considered top sword techniques!” Shen Ping said casually.

He did not care at all because these Sword Dao inheritances required the comprehension of the True Book of Dao Origin. Without the foundation, no one could cultivate the Sword Dao inheritance.

The Sword Master did not expect the Marquis of Zhenbei to be so honest. He had lived for a long time and could tell that the other party was not lying, so he said, “In that case, the two paintings of the Sword Tower and the five paintings of the Seeping River Academy are not connected?”

Shen Ping nodded. “That’s right.”

The Sword Master frowned, “We have to look at the four diagrams of the Sea Moon Cliff and Heavenly Sound Temple. At most, I can use these two diagrams to trade, but it is very difficult to see the one in Monarch Mountain!

“You might not know this, but back then, in order to obtain a painting, Monarch Mountain used all sorts of methods. The painting of the mountains and rivers of Seeping River Academy would lose its effect after leaving, but Monarch Mountain forcefully moved the painting away. That’s why it was effective.

“And for so many years, the Monarch Mountain has always regarded that diagram as the national treasure of the Imperial Family. Other than every emperor, no one else can see it!”

Shen Ping thought for a moment and asked, “Sword Master, I wonder if Seeping River Academy left behind a rubbing back then?”

“The rubbings are useless. If you want to see it, fine. Just don’t get your hopes up.” The Sword Master put away the scroll and said with a smile, “No matter what, your talent is indeed admirable to be able to comprehend sword techniques from it. How about this? I’ll try my best to look at the Sea Moon Cliff and the Heavenly Sound Temple. However, you should know that it’s very difficult. Only by taking out the secret of the scroll will we have a high chance of obtaining this opportunity.”

Shen Ping said casually, “That’s simple. I’ll display two sets of sword techniques from the two diagrams. However, this sword technique requires extremely high comprehension and time. Moreover, it can’t be recorded.”

The Sword Master was overjoyed, “With Marquis Zhenbei’s words, there’s a ninety percent chance of success!”

He left the Sword Tomb. The Sword Master specially invited Shen Ping to drink with him to celebrate his victory and become a member of the Sword Whisper Tower. He had originally wanted to hold a banquet celebration for Shen Ping.

However, Shen Ping rejected it. As for the reason, it was to return to the mansion as soon as possible and marry Huo Ru. The young Sword Master smiled and thought to himself that he was still a hot-blooded young man after all. He could not resist the impulse of his body.

…

Five days later, Shen Ping left the Sword Whisper Tower with Huo Ru. When they returned, they did not walk through the layer of sword aura. Instead, they took a carriage and slowly returned to the Marquis’ Mansion. The journey alone took more than three months.

The inside of the carriage was still very spacious. It’s a fine carriage, after all. Huo Ru wore a rather plain white dress, her expression was calm, there’s not even a hint of dispiritedness from the defeat. But Shen Ping knew that he had dealt a blow to this girl.

He did not say anything either as he closed his eyes. They had been gone for seven days. Passing by a bridge, the carriage could no longer move forward, so he could only sell it. After crossing the bridge, he would buy another one in the nearby county.

Coincidentally, it was a rainy day. The bridge made of iron chains swayed back and forth. The wooden planks on it were all wet. Ordinary people did not dare to walk at all and could only gather at the inn at the crossing. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Shen Ping also brought her to a room like an ordinary person.

The rain showed no signs of stopping. The lights in the room flickered. Huo Ru sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Shen Ping, who was standing by the window. Her eyes were filled with confusion. She really could not think that a dignified Earth Immortal, and an expert with an extremely strong Sword Dao, would actually wait at the bridge entrance like an ordinary person.

Could this be the reason why the other party was so powerful?

A long time passed. She couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of sword is that?”

Her mind was filled with images of the sparring sessions on the Heavenly Sword Platform. Her opponent’s light sword was still a sword light condensed from the Sword Dao. It had been lingering in her mind and she could not get rid of it.

When Shen Ping heard this, he could not help but smile. He turned around and said, “If you want to know, you can beg me.”

“You…!” Huo Ru gritted her teeth.

Shen Ping leaned against the window. “The Sword Whisper Tower cultivates the Heartless Sword Dao because they can sacrifice everything for the Sword Dao. Why? Now that you have such an opportunity to learn the supreme Sword Dao, you can’t let go?”

Huo Ru fell silent. She knew that what Shen Ping said was the truth. At the Sword Whisper Tower, for the sake of the sword, they could indeed give up everything. Including their own body.

Those low-level members of the Sword Tower compromised for the sake of high-grade sword techniques. They could even be slaves every day. She had also come from the bottom. However, she was too talented and did not stay at the bottom for long, still, she knew the difficulty of the bottom.

“From the looks of it, your Sword Dao is not pure!” Shen Ping teased.

Huo Ru snorted. “What do you want me to do?”

Shen Ping crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with interest, “Simple. Kneel in front of me, turn around, and lift your waist and hips. Maintain this for an hour every day, then I will teach you supreme sword techniques!”

Her face was burning as she glared at Shen Ping. “Dream on. Even if I die, I won’t agree to it!”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just giving you this one chance. Whether you’re willing or not is up to you.”

Speaking of this, he said with a faint smile, “Let me tell you something. Your Sword Master let me look at the Mountain and River Scroll of the Sword Tomb. Moreover, I comprehended two sword techniques from it. If you want to learn, I’ll teach you!”

He stretched his back. “How boring. Compared to you, Yao Xian of Seeping River Academy is much cuter. Her talent is not bad either. She has basically mastered the secret technique of the sword in a painting of mountains and rivers of Seeping River Academy!”

Huo Ru’s expression changed. “What? You’re saying that Fairy Lijiang has learned the sword technique of the Diagram of Mountains and Rivers?”

“Of course!”

Shen Ping sat by the window and listened to the rain outside. He closed his eyes and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Huo Ru, on the other hand, had an uncertain expression. She did not expect Fairy Lijiang to be so flexible. She looked like a good woman, but in order to cultivate the Sword Dao, she actually made such an embarrassing gesture for the Marquis of Zhenbei!

“Shame on you!” she cursed in her heart.

The night passed uneventfully.

The next day, Huo Ru, who had dark circles under her eyes, saw that it was still raining outside. “When are we eaving? Hey, are you really going to learn from ordinary people? This rain will last for three to four days!”

Shen Ping yawned and turned over to the door of the bedroom. He called for the waiter to bring him a wash and towel, as well as breakfast. He turned around and said, “The Dao of Heaven and Earth lies in nature. The Dao of Nature lies in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The mountains and lakes lie in the human world. You stay in the Sword Whisper Tower all year round. Have you resonated with the world? If you have forgotten the Dao of Heaven and Earth, even if you step into the Sword Dao, how can you unleash the true Dao of Heaven and Earth?!”
