Chapter 671 - 417: Mental Realm and Saber Aura (Part 3)

In the booklet, there were brief introductions of various elders from the Elder Hall.

Duan Rong flipped through page by page until he suddenly stopped at a name, and there it was clearly written: Gu Daoling.

The moment he saw this name, the blurry memories of the past instantly became clear. Duan Rong had remembered, but he still lowered his head and read the introduction again.

Sure enough, it was this Gu Daoling, who in the Primordial Qi Realm Great Perfection, could already exert the Power of Mental Realm before forming the Qi Vortex!

The introduction recorded that Gu Daoling, during the Primordial Qi Realm, cultivated a saber technique called the Wandering Dragon Clear Melody Saber.

Mental Realm, saber technique! That would be the Saber Aura!

It really was this!

After confirming this piece of information, Duan Rong knew this was what he was looking for!

After reading this piece of information, he felt a bit more settled in his heart. Since someone had achieved it before, then if he were to achieve it as well, it would just mean following in the footsteps of the predecessors.

Moreover, since Gu Daoling, in the Primordial Qi Realm, cultivated this Wandering Dragon Clear Melody Saber and comprehended the Mental Realm, it showed that although this saber technique was not a Supreme Skill, it had the possibility of comprehending the Mental Realm.

Therefore, as long as he also cultivated this saber technique, even if he were to use the Saber Aura someday and it was truly exposed, with the precedent set by Gu Daoling, it would act as a cover.

This Wandering Dragon Clear Melody Saber, because Gu Daoling once used this martial arts to cultivate the Mental Realm, became immensely popular within the Taiyi Sect for several decades. Almost more than half of the Inner Sect Disciples chose to cultivate this saber technique, but since then, no one else managed to cultivate the Mental Realm, and it gradually returned to obscurity.

However, because of this, Duan Rong had already consumed the Artifact Spirit containing the complete set of the Wandering Dragon Clear Melody Saber in the stone room of Gu Mountain, making him already quite familiar with this saber technique.

Nonetheless, a legitimate process was still needed.

Previously, in the Inner Courtyard, he had chosen the Six Harmonies Saber manual. At the time, he thought it didn’t matter what he chose, but now it was different. He had to choose the Wandering Dragon Clear Melody Saber so that when he executed it, it would be legitimate and unassailable.

His mentor Zhu He was the Chairman of the Internal History Department, so it should be possible to choose martial arts once more. At worst, he would return the Six Harmonies Saber.

Duan Rong’s eyes flickered as he decided to find Lu Geng.

"Junior Brother! It’s not that Senior Brother is criticizing you, but when I asked you to choose, you didn’t choose carefully. Now you find it unsuitable? Want to change?" Lu Geng said irritably, looking at Duan Rong.

Duan Rong replied, "Senior Brother Lu, it was my oversight and carelessness last time! I trouble Senior Brother to help me once more."

Seeing Duan Rong admit his mistake, half of the anger in Lu Geng’s heart dissipated.

Actually, changing a cultivation technique wasn’t a big deal and was doable.

In principle, Inner Sect Disciples could choose one cultivation technique every year, but Duan Rong had already used up his quota for the year, making another selection technically impossible.

However, the Internal History Department was under their Yunfu Peak’s jurisdiction, so it could be maneuvered. He could ask the Historian for another approval note to allow Duan Rong to select a martial art again, not making any entry in the registry, just replacing the registered name of the Six Harmonies Saber with the new cultivation technique chosen by Duan Rong.

"Alright. Come with me!" Lu Geng sighed and said, "But only this once, never again. This kind of thing isn’t compliant! I’m only helping you this once because you’re a new entry!"

Duan Rong grinned and said, "Senior Brother Lu, this time consider that I owe you a favor, which I will repay one day."

Feeling pleased, Lu Geng glanced at Duan Rong and chuckled, "Alright, you’re smart! Let’s go!"

The two of them left together, and after Lu Geng obtained an approval note from the Historian and gave him some instructions, he took the note and led Duan Rong towards the Scripture Repository.
