The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 762 Real Realm of Tao of the Sword!

The woman in purple gown smiled, “Who am I?”

The old man took a deep look at her, and then bowed respectfully in silence.

The woman said with a smile, “I found a successor for you.”

Hearing this, the old man and the others all looked at Ye Xuan. Soon, a trace of surprise flashed across their eyes. The leading old man appeared directly in front of Ye Xuan. He grabbed Ye Xuan’s arm, and a mysterious force immediately poured into Ye Xuan’s body.

A moment later, the old man looked stunned, “Your... Bloodline...”

The woman nodded slightly, “You don’t have to doubt his identity. He just came into contact with Tao of the Sword, and he doesn’t understand it very much. You guys can help him sort it out and let him have a new understanding of it.”

The old man glanced at Ye Xuan, “Why... is his Tao of the Sword different from our Founder’s?”

The woman said with a smile, “Someone who has high attainments in Tao of the Sword led him into Tao of the Sword, but she only showed him a direction and was not interested in teaching him those elementary things. He had been thinking about them by himself, but he didn’t gain much. Now his Tao of the Sword was too miscellaneous and not pure enough. Moreover, he is a little confused about Tao of the Sword. Please help him sort it out and let him know the system of Tao of the Sword.”

The old man nodded slightly, “Since he is his descendant, we surely will do our best to help him.”

The woman nodded slightly and looked at Ye Xuan, “Learn from them and ask anything you want.”

Ye Xuan bowed respectfully, “I see!”

The woman didn’t say anything else but turned around and left.

Ye Xuan looked at the old man and the other five people, and bowed respectfully, “Thank you, seniors.”

......

The old man in front of Ye Xuan looked at him, “What is Tao of the Sword?”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, and then said, “I don’t know!”

The others were all speechless.

Ye Xuan was a little embarrassed.

In fact, he didn’t understand what Tao of the Sword was. He never thought about that!

Tao of the Sword?

For him, swords could kill enemies and protect his family. That was all.

He didn’t think too much about it!

At this time, a woman beside the old man suddenly said, “Not knowing much about it might not be bad.”

The old man nodded, “You are right!”

With that, he looked at Ye Xuan, “Sit down. Get concentrated and we’ll communicate through minds.”

After Ye Xuan sat down, a picture of six people appeared in his mind.

The old man said, “The general direction of your Tao of the Sword is right, but its details need to improve. There are six realms of Tao of the Sword, Simple, Unreal, Real, Clear, Broken, and Ordinary. These six realms represent a person’s attainments in Tao of the Sword. Yours is in ‘Unreal’ Realm.”

Ye Xuan was stunned, “It’s in such a low realm?”

The old man said with a smile, “Strictly speaking, you haven’t even reached ‘Unreal’ Realm.”

Ye Xuan kept silent.

The old man continued, “I’ll tell you the six realms in detail. First, ‘Simple’ Realm means that everything is simple. Beginners of Tao of the Sword should build a solid and simple foundation. At this time, their Tao of the Sword is the most simple. After that, it’s ‘Unreal’ Realm. At this time, sword cultivators will enter a dazzling world of Tao of the Sword. Because they have been exposed to all kinds of fancy sword skills or magical skills. Then sword cultivators would enter ‘Unreal’ Realm from ‘Simple’ Realm.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Ye Xuan, “You are in ‘Unreal’ Realm at the moment, and your general direction of Tao of the Sword is right. Now you are lost in ‘Unreal’ Realm, so you must see what is ‘real’ from ‘Unreal’ Realm, and then reach ‘Real’ Realm!”

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “How should I do that?”

The old man said, “What is your strongest sword skill?”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, and then said, “Sword Is Limitless!”

The old man nodded, “Show it to us. We will find out its shortcomings and help you get over the obstacles!”

Ye Xuan nodded, and then directly performed Sword Is Limitless.

He only performed it in their minds, if he really performed it, this place would be destroyed by it.

After Ye Xuan performed Sword Is Limitless, the old and the other five people fell silent.

When Ye Xuan was about to speak, the old man suddenly said, “Let’s talk about your shortcomings!”

Ye Xuan was stunned...

At this time, a woman nearby said with a smile, “To tell you the truth, your sword skill has almost no shortcomings. Maybe we can’t find its shortcomings with our attainments! However, you have many shortcomings. It’s a waste for you to use this sword skill with your current strength.”

Ye Xuan was speechless.

The old man beside the woman also nodded slightly, “Your sword skill is incredibly powerful. But your current attainments in Tao of the Sword are low and you are not powerful enough, so you can’t give full play to its real power!”

Ye Xuan nodded, “Then please tell me my shortcomings!”

The old man said, “Your shortcoming is that your attainments in Tao of the Sword are too low. What you need to do now is break through ‘Unreal’ Realm and enter ‘Real’ Realm. You can perform another sword skill. We will discuss it with you and you will understand it then.”

Ye Xuan thought for a while, and then performed One Sword Deciding Life and Death!

Then the old man and the other five people fell silent again.

At this time, the woman who spoke earlier suddenly said, “Are you serious?”

Ye Xuan looked at her and wondered, “What do you mean?”

The woman shook her head, “Don’t you... have some weaker sword skills?”

Ye Xuan was speechless.

The woman said with a smile, “We can’t evaluate the two sword skills you performed, but we can evaluate you. To be honest, you are not qualified enough to use these two sword skills!”

Ye Xuan was speechless. She was deliberately undermining him!

At this time, the old man suddenly said with a smile, “Two sword skills are too powerful to be evaluated by us. Do you have any weaker sword skills? If you perform such skills again, we can’t do this anymore!”

Ye Xuan thought for a while, and then casually performed a sword skill.

A moment later, the old man said, “Did you find any differences?”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, and then said, “This sword skill is not powerful enough!”

The old man was speechless.

The woman and the others aside shook their heads and chuckled.

The old man sighed in a low voice, “Did you see that? You are greatly dependent on powerful sword skills. Using such sword skills will not do you any harm. However, if you are too dependent on them, you’ll forget the essence of your Tao of the Sword. However, the more powerful this kind of sword skill is, the more difficult you are to gain high attainments in Tao of the Sword.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

He knew that he was a little dependent on sword skills like Sword Is Limitless and foreign objects, but he had no other choices, because his enemies were all powerful old freaks...

At this time, the old man continued, “Let’s start from the beginning...”

Soon, Ye Xuan and the six people began to discuss, to be exact, he was lectured...

But he was very happy, because the six people’s attainments in Tao of the Sword were far much higher than his, and the knowledge about Tao of the sword they told him benefited him a lot.

In this way, time went by little by little...

Outside the palace.

The woman in purple gown came to the back of the ancient palace. There was a small bamboo house on the cliff behind, in which there was only a tea table.

She did not enter the bamboo house but stood in front of it and remained silent for a long time. In the end, she whispered, “Can the dead really be resurrected?”

There was no response around.

A moment later, she turned around and left.

...

Ye Xuan sat on the ground in the palace.

Time went by, and one month passed in a blink of an eye...

In the past month, Ye Xuan had never been out of the inner palace, and the six strong men of the Sword Clan around him were becoming more and more illusory.

Another half month passed.

On this day, Ye Xuan suddenly stood up, and the six people in front of him had completely turned illusory and were about to disappear.

Ye Xuan bowed to them respectfully, “Thank you, Seniors!”

The leading old man said with a smile, “How do you feel now?”

Ye Xuan whispered, “I feel like it’s just beginning!”

The old man’s smile widened, “Good, very good!”

Ye Xuan bowed to the six people again, “Thank you so much. I’ll remember your kindness forever!”

The old man said with a smile, “Don’t mention it. You’re one of us.”

“I’m one of you?”

Ye Xuan was a little confused.

The old man frowned slightly, “You don’t know your identity?”

Ye Xuan was speechless.

At this time, the woman beside the old man suddenly said, “He probably doesn’t know!”

Ye Xuan said, “Please tell me what you know!”

The old man hesitated, then shook his head, “Nothing. Now the path of your Tao of the Sword is clear. However, if you want it to be smooth, you need to make constant efforts and never forget your original intention. Remember, keep your original intention unchanged, and you can be invincible!”

With that, he and the people around him had completely disappeared.

To keep his original intention unchanged!

Ye Xuan kept silent for a long time on the site. In the end, he turned around and left.

Outside the palace, he saw the woman in purple gown.

The woman said with a smile, “How are you feeling now?”

Ye Xuan said, “I have gained a lot!”

The woman asked, “What realm are you in?”

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Real Realm”

Now he had entered Real Realm from Unreal Realm.

At this moment, he felt that his Tao of the Sword had just begun, because he really understood the essence of something!

When he performed his sword skills, he knew what was useful and what wasn’t!

In short, he felt that he was on the right track now!

The woman in purple gown said with a smile, “Very good. Come on, I’ll take you to a dangerous place.”

“A dangerous place?”

Ye Xuan asked, “Where?”

The woman smiled, “The strong like that place, while the weak... fear it...”
