Chapter 37: Azure Dragon Sword Technique

  ♂?,,

  Facing Yi Zhouyi's gaze, Wang Ting nodded slightly.

  He doesn't like owing people favors.

  And this middle-aged man also had a lifesaving grace for him.

  A drop of water in return for a gushing spring, merely one set of new sword repair theories is clearly not enough to repay such great kindness.

  After a moment of contemplation, Wang Ting finally spoke up: "If I'm not mistaken, those few places aren't because the sword technique is flawed and can't be cultivated, but rather, there are other reasons that make it impossible to cultivate."

  Yi Zhouyi took a deep look at Wang Ting.

  If it wasn't for his conviction, he would have thought that Wang Ting was seeing him for the first time, and Wang Ting's eyes didn't flicker as he spoke, telling the truth, making him almost believe that this was a representative of a mysterious organization that had thoroughly investigated everything about him.

  It wasn't until a while later that Yi Zhou spoke up again, "This is probably a common problem among most sword cultivators."

  At this point, Yi Zhouyi's tone paused slightly: "Actually, not all swordsmen can meet a famous master to guide them before they become famous. That kind of opportunity is really too rare to come by. It's very likely that until they reach the high-level swordsman stage, they are all alone in their exploration, stumbling and advancing with difficulty on the path of swordsmanship. After all, no one has an obligation to take a swordsman as an apprentice just because they see them, teach them sword techniques, and guide their cultivation... and I am also like this."

  Wang Ting nodded slightly.

  This world is actually much better than his world.

  At least, this world has a large number of swordsmen, many masters of swordsmanship, and there are still quite a few saint-level strongmen. Even if one person is groping, the general direction is still available.

  But in Wang Ting's world...

  The practitioners of swordsmanship have basically become extinct.

  The advent of the Dharma-ending era, the curtain call of the Sword Dao era, the breakthrough of science and technology, and the prevalence of spiritual energy have made it possible for their entire world to preserve very few sword dao legacies.

  Even the Dongtian Sword Sect, which was once known as the number one sword sect in the world, had already been extinct for over 600 years when he inherited it. All sorts of precious classics, sword techniques, and cultivation experiences were lost in the continuous turmoil and disappeared into the long river of history. Even if he later wanted to re-collect these things, he was powerless despite his willingness.

  After all, it was an era where technology and spiritual energy reigned supreme, a swordsman cultivator...

  It has basically become a performance in nature.

  Even if it was him back then, with strength so great that he could defeat the world's number one swordsman of that year and become the true world's number one, in front of the mecha's cannon fire, he still had no power to resist and was reduced to ashes.

  In such a big environment, Wang Tingjian's road to cultivation was much more difficult than that of Yi Zhouyi.

  Before being accepted as a disciple by Master, my cultivation was extremely difficult and I experienced countless life-and-death battles. Many times, I could only barely hold on through explosive outbursts that exceeded my physical limits, using secret techniques that put a strain on my body. These secret techniques didn't seem like much to me before, but now as I've grown older and my physical condition has passed its peak and begun to decline, they're slowly being exposed. Those few places aren't weaknesses in my sword technique that I intentionally left behind, but rather hidden injuries that exist, making it impossible for me to practice even if I want to - my heart is willing, but my strength is insufficient.

  At this point, Yi Zhou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  "Originally, I had hoped to further advance and reach the realm of Sword Sage, but because I trained too hard in my youth, after breaking through from Sword Master to Great Sword Master twelve years ago, it seems that I exhausted my potential. In the following twelve years, the first few years were still okay, but in recent years, not only have I made no progress, but as my body gradually aged, my cultivation has actually begun to decline. Even though I continued to cultivate, I could only barely maintain this realm and prevent myself from falling behind. This is also why I had no choice but to give up on the sword path and take up an official position in the Great Xia Kingdom... it's just that there was no hope of advancing any further..."

  Yi Zhouyi said with some helplessness.

  Time hurries people into old age.

  Any brilliant and elegant swordsmanship genius, a master of swordsmanship, will ultimately be no match for the erosion of time. Let alone a great swordsman above a swordmaster, even if it's a Sword Saint, at most they can live for one or two hundred years before turning to dust and scattering with the wind.

  The entire world, except for that one truly supreme and invincible Sword Sovereign, who dares claim immortality?

  Yi Zhouyi's attitude also infected Wang Ting.

  His mind naturally associated with the Dongtian Sword Sect, which was brilliant to the extreme in those years.

  It's just a pity that even the most glorious sects will eventually leave the historical stage. Perhaps 600 years ago, 1,000 years ago, or 2,000 years ago, the Eastern Heaven Sword Sect was the number one sect in the world, shaking the universe and making all four seas surrender. However, as of today, it has also been replaced by the passage of time and has become history.

  These ancient sects are like this, let alone individuals?

  "Hehe, I was touched for a moment, sorry about that."

  Yi Zhouyi said, and quickly adjusted his mentality.

  Wang Ting nodded and didn't say anything.

  Even when he heard that Yi Zhou had broken through to Grand Sword Master twelve years ago, he still didn't feel surprised.

  As early as yesterday, Yi Zhouyi had already sensed the sword energy that shot and injured the high-level fierce beast from a distance, and still had enough strength to behead it. At that time, he already knew that Yi Zhouyi's cultivation was absolutely not as simple as an ordinary swordsman.

  Although the sword master had cultivated his skills to perfection and produced true energy, he still needed to expend a large amount of his internal energy to shoot out a sword energy that could span dozens of meters.

  Even those mid-tier swordsmen, when releasing such a powerful sword aura, would reveal a look of exhaustion. When facing an enemy, even the strongest swordsmen would at most attach their true energy to the surface of the sword, forming a sword halo, and rarely would they recklessly consume large amounts of true energy to injure the enemy with their sword aura.

  So Wang Ting had long speculated that Yi Zhou was either a High-Order Swordmaster or a Great Swordmaster.

  "Yi Lao Ge, if you trust me, why don't you practice your sword skills once and let me take a look? I'll see where those hidden injuries of yours are coming from."

  "What else can we say about trust or not? If you want to see, I'll show you. I'm practicing the Azure Dragon Sword Technique, which emphasizes the resonance of qi and blood with the true energy, forming a dragon-tiger momentum..."

  "Yi Lao Ge doesn't need to elaborate on it for me, just practicing slowly will do."

  Yi Zhou was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Wang Ting was interested in his swordsmanship and wanted to learn from him, so he had deliberately explained it to him. Now it seemed that wasn't the case.

  But he didn't think much of it and simply said, "Alright, watch closely."

  As soon as he finished speaking, they immediately began to practice.

  Canglong Swordsmanship

  Indeed, as he just mentioned, it is a swordsmanship that attaches great importance to momentum. Even without Yizhou's explanation, Wangting can still glimpse the application of this swordsmanship to qi and blood, as well as the importance of resonance between them. This kind of swordsmanship constantly confuses true energy and blood energy, yet there is no suitable method for adjusting it. When one is in their prime, it's not so bad, and these small problems won't appear. However, once they get older and their body starts to decline, many hidden injuries from practicing the swordsmanship will erupt, presenting a trend of illnesses piling up like mountains.

  "It seems that in this world, many people who practice swordsmanship have gone to an extreme and haven't considered the harm these practices can cause to their bodies."

  Wang Ting muttered to himself.

  When he just got this body, he found that there were many hidden injuries in this body, which were caused by incorrect and unscientific cultivation methods. Even high-ranking warriors who had just entered the path of cultivation were like this, let alone the physical condition of those swordsmen and sword masters.

  "Haha, how's that, big brother? My swordsmanship is still pretty good, right? I hope to gain some inspiration from this sword technique and make my own sword path even more perfect."

  Very soon, Yi Zhouyi had already finished practicing the Canglong Sword Technique and said: "I met my master at the age of 19, and I have been cultivating this sword technique for 46 years. Although due to physical reasons, I couldn't cultivate it to perfection, but I can use length to make up for shortcomings, hiding some flaws in the sword technique. Even if it's a great swordsman with a similar realm to mine, they won't be able to defeat me through these flaws."

  Wang Ting nodded slightly.

  Yi Zhouyi's swordsmanship was indeed extremely high, and he was also deeply aware of his own weaknesses, consciously avoiding these areas. In this situation, it would be very difficult for a strong opponent of the same level to defeat him through his flaws...

  However, if his opponent were someone like Wang Ting, a sixth-tier spiritual ability user who almost possesses precognitive abilities...
