This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 755 - 46 Qing Ge Return Secret Art

Heavenly Secret Pavilion, outside of Lotus Peak.

A streak of Sword Light came to a halt.

Lin Yao, still bearing traces of shyness on her face that had yet to fade, flew out from the Sword Light and politely bowed to Xia Daoyun, who had ferried her back on his sword, "Thank you for the trouble, Peak Master of Sword Coming Peak."

Xia Daoyun waved his hand dismissively, and after delivering Lin Yao back to Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he decisively turned and left.

Lin Yao stood quietly for a while, watching Xia Daoyun’s figure disappear from her sight before flying toward Lotus Peak.

Upon barely entering Lotus Peak, she saw the Shui Yue Pavilion Master standing quietly in a pavilion, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.

"Master," Lin Yao stepped forward and greeted respectfully.

"Has he left?" the Shui Yue Pavilion Master asked.

Though the name was not mentioned directly, it was evident who she referred to.

Lin Yao nodded slightly.

The Shui Yue Pavilion Master fell into contemplation, pondering unknown thoughts.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yao took the initiative to ask, "Master, Young Master Lu is someone you hold in high regard, and his journey to the Abyss this time spells a brush with death nine times out of ten. Why did you not dissuade him from taking such a risk?"

To an outsider, Lu Qingshan’s actions seemed unnecessary.

Because his sword would have recovered on its own if only given a bit of time.

Even if the Sword Spirit changed, what of it?

Surely it’s better than letting a Sword Cultivator with immeasurable potential risk his life.

Not to mention, it was all for a Sword Spirit.

A Sword Spirit isn’t human, after all.

Besides, it’s not uncommon to sacrifice certain people for others who are deemed more important.

"The path of a Sword Immortal can only be walked by him alone. If others intervene forcefully, it will only ruin his way," the Shui Yue Pavilion Master said with a profound look in her eyes, "If I had forcefully restrained him, he might have grown into a Great Sword Cultivator, but as for becoming a Sword Immortal, he would have absolutely no hope in this lifetime."

"Moreover, if he can return safely this time," the Shui Yue Pavilion Master hinted meaningfully, "it means he is indeed favored by the grand fate of this world, and his future achievements will be boundless...."

"Master, where does the concept of fate come from, after all?" Hearing the Shui Yue Pavilion Master speak this way, Lin Yao couldn’t help but ask, "Whether it’s the Pavilion Master or you, there seems to be significant emphasis on fate.

Is it because our Heavenly Secret Pavilion engages in the theft of Heaven’s secrets that we thus emphasize fate so much?"

In her view, the notion of fate was too elusive.

"No," the Shui Yue Pavilion Master shook her head, revealing some secrets to her disciple, "The talk of fate is not solely claimed by our Heavenly Secret Pavilion; to achieve beyond the Ninth Realm, fate is essential."

"Fate has never been an elusive secret of Heaven, it’s a quantifiable constant..."

.....

Lu Qingshan looked ahead.

A city lay quietly there.

Feather Demon City.

This was the Demon Race city he was about to enter, and an extremely important part of his plan to deceive his way through.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

He had to obtain as much information as possible from Feather Demon City in a short time.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan paused and stood still, seemingly pondering something.

"Lu Qingshan, what are you up to?" Gu Yiyi asked curiously.

"I’m thinking about which performance art to use," Lu Qingshan said.

In the world of performance art, there are three schools that are held in the highest esteem.

They are the Method Faction, the System Faction, and the Representation Faction.

The Method Faction requires the performer to start from the self, living in the situation of the character being played.

The System Faction, derived from the Method Faction, also demands genuine subconscious reactions from the performer, but the System Faction allows the performer to replace the object of interaction.

The Representation Faction, on the other hand, involves first constructing an image of the "character" inside one’s mind and then imitating it, with emphasis on grasping and designing scenarios.

For an easily understandable example, if we asked Sword Cultivators to play the role of Spell Cultivators who love Spells...

The Method Faction Sword Cultivator would discover a flicker of appreciation for Spells within themselves and magnify it, truly taking on the demeanor of a Spell Cultivator — "I am a Spell Cultivator."

The System Faction Sword Cultivator would replace Spells with their own sword in their imagination, thereby transferring their love for the sword onto Spells.

The Representation Faction Sword Cultivator, however, first constructs an image of what a Spell Cultivator should look like in their mind and then imitates this image.

The Representation Faction...

With too little information about Qing Ge’s identity, he could not construct a reasonable image of Qing Ge; therefore, that option was immediately excluded.

As for the System Faction, since he would be impersonating for an extended period, the object of interaction would keep changing. In this constant repetition, he would gradually lose the sense of novelty, eventually leading to a rigid performance, so it was likewise excluded.

That left only the Method Faction.

The Method Faction is the most challenging among the three and requires the most talent in the performing arts, seeking authenticity. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Talent?

Have you heard of "An Actor Prepares"?

Lu Qingshan made his decision.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a few moments, and then slowly opened them again.

"What’s this for?" asked Gu Yiyi, not understanding.

"I’m trying to get into character," replied Lu Qingshan, "Alright, show off."

"Show off... what exactly?"

"It’s time to show the real technique," said Lu Qingshan, as he moved toward Feather Demon City.

....

As he approached Feather Demon City.

A beam of Escaping Light flew out of the city and stopped in front of Lu Qingshan.

This was one of the city’s guards.

"Who goes there?"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan’s face, the guard’s complexion suddenly changed, and in a flurry he said, "I have met Lord Qing Ge, it is my fault for not recognizing you. Please forgive me, Lord."
