I was a little surprised.
It had been some time since I had obtained the Xuanyuan Sword. During this period, I had met many experts with high cultivation bases, but none of them could detect the sword's aura.
How could Daoist Huang Zhu detect the Xuanyuan Sword's aura?
If a sword cultivator had a special sense for sword aura, it wasn't right. Zhao Hao was also a sword cultivator, and his cultivation base was much higher than Huang Zhu's. However, he didn't detect it until I took out the Xuanyuan Sword.
I wanted to ask him about it, but Daoist Huang Zhu was dying. Even if he had some secrets, it wasn't the right time to ask.
After a moment of silence, I tried my best to answer him calmly. "I guess it's because of the sword I'm carrying."
"A sword?"
The old Daoist's eyes suddenly brightened. He looked spirited and asked, "What sword is it?
Can I have a look at it? "
An ordinary man's wealth is his own ruin.
With the Xuanyuan Sword, an ancient divine weapon, I knew I should be careful and not let anyone see it.
However, as the old Daoist was dying, I couldn't bear to refuse him.
Although I didn't know why he wanted to see the Xuanyuan Sword, as a sword cultivator, it was understandable that he wanted to see the sword.
After thinking for a while, there were only the dying Daoist Huang Zhu, Ah Mo, and Wang Can here. It didn't seem risky to take out the Xuanyuan Sword to have a look.
I gritted my teeth and took out the Xuanyuan Sword Box from Xiang Liu's leather pouch. I used my witch energy to cover the three characters' Xuanyuan Sword 'on it. Then, I gently put it on the mattress next to Huang Zhu and said, "This is it. However, the sword is in the box. With my current ability, I can't open it yet."
From the moment I took out the sword box, Wang Can, Ah Mo, and the old Daoist all focused on the Xuanyuan Sword Box.
When I told him that I couldn't open it, Wang Can's face flashed with disbelief. His eyes became more solemn.
On Little Mo's side, when he saw the Xuanyuan Sword Box, his body flashed with a green light. The sword spirit I had seen that day appeared out of thin air and floated above his head. It faced the Xuanyuan Sword from afar and let out a shallow low cry.
The moment I took out the Xuanyuan Sword Box, Old Daoist Huang Zhu's body shook. His eyes were fixed on the sword box, as if he didn't hear what I said.
After a long time, the old Taoist let out a long sigh and finally muttered, "So it's true … So it's true …"
As he spoke, he reached out his trembling hand as if he wanted to touch the Xuanyuan Sword Box, but no one knew whether it was because he was weak or afraid. After trembling for a long time, he finally did not put his hand on it. Instead, he suddenly turned to little Ah Mo and said, "Ah Mo, help me up."
At this time, Little Ah Mo had already put away his sword soul. As if he had been frightened, his little face was pale. When he heard this, he quickly went over and knelt on the ground, supporting the old Daoist's arm.
The old Taoist was seriously ill and had no strength to stand up at this time. He just sat up tremblingly and solemnly bowed to the Xuanyuan Sword Box three times.
I was originally standing behind the Xuanyuan Sword Case. When I saw his movements, I quickly moved sideways to avoid him. After he finished bowing, I asked him, "Why are you doing this?"
Huang Zhu grinned, "As a sword cultivator, seeing a famous sword is like drinking famous wine. My heart is filled with joy … Little friend, you don't need to avoid me. I'm only bowing to this sword."
I frowned, "You recognize this sword?"
Huang Zhu smiled again, but his eyes were filled with reverence. He coughed twice before continuing, "Of course I recognize this sword … This is the King's Sword … How could I not recognize it!"
As he said this, he seemed to be a little excited. His face flushed and he coughed again.
King's Sword … Just now, Zhao Hao also said that the Xuanyuan Sword was the King's Sword. What was this King's Sword?
When the old Taoist's coughing subsided, I quickly asked, "What is the King's Sword?"
The old Taoist gasped for two breaths. His eyes seemed to be bursting with light. He opened his mouth and answered, "The king of swords is called the King's Sword!
The world's famous swords are led by the King's Sword … No wonder the sword energy on your body is so sharp. It turns out to be the King's Sword … Haha, I never thought that I would be able to see a King's Sword before I leave … Haha … Cough … "
As the old Taoist said this, he coughed again. After he calmed down, the old Taoist seemed to be more spirited. He moved his gaze away from the Xuanyuan Sword Case and stared at me. He sighed, "Since you have this sword, you are naturally a sword cultivator … My generation of sword cultivators uses the sword to nurture people. With this sword nurturing you, you are the strongest sword cultivator … I have found the right person to entrust Ah Mo to you … Haha …"
As he coughed, he turned his head and reached his hand under the mattress. After a while, he took out a crumpled little book and handed it to me with trembling hands.
"What is this?" I extended my hand to receive it, my eyes filled with doubt.
"Cough … Cough …" The old Taoist gasped twice before answering, "Sword cultivation … technique!"
It should be left for me to teach Ah Mo in the future. I nodded at the old Taoist, "Don't worry. I will use this technique to teach Ah Mo."
"No."
The old Taoist shook his head and stared at me. His lips curled into a smile, "Ah Mo was born with a sword embryo. He can only cultivate after the sword embryo in his body is completed … This technique is a gift from me to you!"
"Gift to me?"
I didn't understand what he meant. I furrowed my eyebrows and asked, "Do you mean that you want me to cultivate a sword cultivation technique?"
The old Taoist nodded, "Sword cultivation … is about using the person to nurture the sword, and the sword to nurture the person. With this King's Sword, your cultivation will definitely advance very quickly … You can even nurture the sword!
If you use this sword to nurture the sword, how powerful would it be … I don't dare to imagine … "
His words were messy, but I roughly understood.
The sword cultivation technique, or rather, the sword cultivation technique of his sect, was about using the person to nurture the sword, and the sword to nurture the person. It seemed that I could nurture the Xuanyuan Sword. With the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, my cultivation would increase rapidly. I could also use the sword nurturing technique to unleash the power of the Xuanyuan Sword.
I wasn't interested in the cultivation technique, but I was excited to use the Xuanyuan Sword's power.
I had been worried that I couldn't unleash the power of a divine weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword.
Especially after witnessing the miraculous power of the Devil Refining Gourd, I was looking forward to the power of the Xuanyuan Sword.
Unfortunately, I could only instill Daoist energy to release a few sword rays.
Although the power of the sword rays wasn't bad, it was insignificant compared to the reputation of the Xuanyuan Sword.
If the old Taoist's sword cultivation technique could unleash the true power of the Xuanyuan Sword, it would be too terrifying. Not to mention Zhao Hao and Lu Zhenyang, even a person at the Yang Spirit Realm or an Immortal at the Dawn Realm would not be able to block one attack from the Xuanyuan Sword.
Although I couldn't open the sword case, I could still feel the power of the Xuan-Yuan Sword from the crack that was revealed. It was a kind of unstoppable power. Once it was released, I was afraid that even the sky would be split in half!
Although I was excited, I wasn't sure if the so-called 'Sword Nurturing Technique' was what I thought it was. I asked the old Taoist, "How powerful is the Sword Nurturing Technique?"
Hearing my question, the old Taoist Huang Zhu straightened his back and said proudly, "Twelve years ago, I had just entered Glory of Knowledge and nurtured the sword for ten years … When I was chasing after Ah Mo in the Xuande Grotto-Heaven, it was the first time I used a sword after cultivating for ten years.
With one sword … I killed a Celestial Master! "
In the Glory of Knowledge realm, he killed a Celestial Master with one sword!
Although there was only a thin line between Glory of Knowledge and a Celestial Master, the difference in power was more than a thousand miles!
Not to mention the early stage of Glory of Knowledge, I was not a match for a Celestial Master even though I had four meridians and cultivated both Daoism and witchcraft. This old Taoist could actually kill a Celestial Master … This so-called 'Sword Nurturing Technique' was simply heaven-defying!
Even if it was as he had said, being able to use one sword after not using a sword for ten years was already extremely terrifying.
While I was shocked, the old Taoist asked me again, "How is your cultivation now?"
I pulled myself together and thought for a while. Then, I answered, "I can fight anyone below Yang God."
The old Taoist smiled and said, "Cultivating my sword technique, nurturing the sword for three years can kill a Yang God … No, you have this sword, so you don't need three years … One year?
I'm not sure either. Anyway, if you cultivate the sword, when the sword is formed, it will shock ghosts and gods! "
Nurturing the sword can kill a Yang God?
I frowned slightly. The 'King Sword' that the old Taoist was talking about was naturally the strongest sword in the world. However, the sword in the box was the Xuanyuan Sword!
If I really nurtured the sword, when the sword was formed, it wouldn't be 'shocking ghosts and gods' anymore, but slaying ghosts and gods!
While I was still in a daze, the old Taoist Huang Zhu suddenly grabbed my hand and said loudly, "Little friend, Ah Mo … I'll leave Ah Mo to you!"
Then, he collapsed on the bedding and laughed. "All reincarnations are empty … Ah Mo, remember, we are sword cultivators, one sword in our life … We are sword cultivators, one sword in our life!"
