Chapter 68: Endless Sword Diagram, Breaking The Sword

On the following day.

There were less than two days left before they would leave the mountain.

Su Changyu had already descended from the mountain, but Ye Ping didn’t know what he had gone to do.

Below the Qingyun cliff, Ye Ping’s sword techniques were being cast more and more quickly.

Although they were just simple basic sword techniques, they seemed to be extraordinary in Ye Ping’s hands.

Unfortunately, even until late at night, Ye Ping still hadn’t comprehended the new sword move.

Late at night, Ye Ping sat alone under the cliff.

There were only two days to go until their departure.

They couldn’t ensure that the trip would be safe, so Ye Ping wanted to comprehend the sword move sooner. Thus, he would have added security if they encountered any danger.

Unfortunately, his aptitude was too poor.

It was almost a month and he still hadn’t comprehended it completely.

At this moment, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Su Changyu was carrying a bag tightly in his arms with joy and surprise in his eyes.

Daoist Tai Hua was also carrying a bag and he looked at Su Changyu with displeasure.

“Changyu, I’ve already bought you the embroidered white crane cloud robe that you’ve always wanted. Take good care of your brother. Don’t make any mistakes, else don’t blame me for creating trouble for you.”

Daoist Tai Hua said with some dissatisfaction.

Su Changyu went to see him bright early in the morning and said that he wanted to buy some new clothes that he could wear to attend the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.

In the beginning, Daoist Tai Hua felt that it made sense, but he didn’t expect Su Changyu to bring him to the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion, where a complete set of long robes cost 100 to 200 taels of gold.

That was the yearly income of the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Besides, they bought several sets. After all, there were many disciples in the sect and Daoist Tai Hua had to be fair.

To be honest, if not for the fact that he had enough money now and that Su Changyu had made a point, he would rather die than buy it.

“Master, don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep an eye on Ye Ping.”

Su Changyu was filled with joy.

The white crane cloud embroidered robe was the latest design of this year, which he had coveted for a long time. He never thought that he’d one day be able to don such a robe.

At this moment, Su Changyu had a sense of superiority.

However, he could not bear to wear it now, and he planned to wear it on the day that they left the mountain.

“Give this to Ye Ping. You have two days. Go and teach him. Changyu, I’m not ambitious. I just need you to get him into the top ten and I will be content.”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

He knew that Su Changyu’s teaching wouldn’t make a difference and that Ye Ping’s talent was the most important.

However, he still hoped that Su Changyu would put in some effort. He would be contented even if Ye Ping could only improve by a little.

“I’ll go and look for him now.”

Su Changyu nodded and grabbed the bag that Daoist Tai Hua handed to him before walking towards the rear cliff.

On his way towards the cliff, Su Changyu met Xu Luochen.

The latter was strolling at night, looking somewhat melancholic. After such a long time, he still hadn’t gotten over it.

“Luochen.”

Perhaps because he was in high spirits, Su Changyu greeted Xu Luochen.

The latter raised his head with surprise in his eyes.

“Eldest Senior Brother.”

He subconsciously called.

“Luochen, the alchemy assessment should be around the corner. You have to work hard and become an alchemist sooner. I have faith in you, don’t be dejected.”

Su Changyu encouraged Xu Luochen.

However, Xu Luochen was stunned as he looked at Su Changyu with surprise.

He had never heard Su Changyu speak to him that way before.

‘What does that mean?’

‘He must be mad. Eldest Senior Brother must have gone mad.’

Xu Luochen shook his head bitterly and left, thinking in his heart that Su Changyu must have gone crazy.

On the other hand, Su Changyu didn’t think much and simply headed straight to the rear cliff.

Below the rear cliff, Ye Ping was seated cross-legged quietly.

He was very diligent, so much that Su Changyu felt ashamed.

Ye Ping had such incredible talent. Yet, he was still so diligent.

All of a sudden, Su Changyu couldn’t help but feel bad for the geniuses of the same age.

Not only was he a genius with incredible talent, but Ye Ping was also very hardworking.

Fortunately, Su Changyu was a good-for-nothing. Otherwise, he would cry if he met Ye Ping.

He would probably feel worse than Xu Luochen.

“Little Junior Brother.”

Su Changyu called out to Ye Ping who was comprehending the Sword Dao.

“Eldest Senior Brother, what brings you here?”

Ye Ping woke up from his enlightenment. He was so immersed that he didn’t notice Su Changyu’s arrival.

“Ye Ping, this is the new set of clothes that the Sect Leader especially bought for you. It’s dust-free and wards off snakes, insects, and rats.”

Su Changyu placed the bag in front of Ye Ping.

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping took the bag politely. He was not very interested in such things now as all he could think about were sword techniques.

After giving the items to Ye Ping, Su Changyu looked at him.

He could tell that Ye Ping seemed confused.

However, he did not say anything.

Instead, he stood up and walked alone to the cliff.

He gazed at the sky that was dark like ink, leaving Ye Ping behind to look at his back view that was like that of a supreme Sword Immortal.

Below the cliff, Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu.

For some reason, Ye Ping seemed to have an epiphany just by looking at Su Changyu, as if there was a membrane that he couldn’t poke through.

Finally, Ye Ping couldn’t hold back any longer. He looked at Su Changyu and mustered up the courage.

“Eldest Senior Brother!”

As soon as he spoke, Su Changyu interrupted him.

“Calm down.”

Su Changyu’s voice was not loud, but it seemed magical as it had the power to make Ye Ping calm down.

“Little Junior Brother, let go of the obsessions in your heart and go feel the beauty between heaven and earth.”

“All the answers you want are between this heaven and earth.”

“If your heart is not calm, how can you comprehend the Dao?”

Su Changyu said calmly.

His voice rang in Ye Ping’s ear.

At this moment, Ye Ping calmed down.

He stopped looking at the sword mark.

He didn’t think about the sword move either.

He just drew his sword and then started to practice the basic sword moves.

Stab!

Swing!

Chop!

Slash!

Touch!

Under the moonlight, Ye Ping practiced his basic sword moves.

His mind was blank.

He did not think about anything. Every move he made was according to his desires and it felt natural.

Su Changyu did not look at Ye Ping and instead kept his back facing him.

He had already thought it through and probably waited for an hour before coming back to talk some sense into Ye Ping properly.

He decided to let Ye Ping comprehend it properly.

However, below the cliff, Ye Ping’s speed was getting faster and faster.

Below the rear cliff, all the tree leaves were rolled up.

However, the frightening thing was that there wasn’t the sound of wind at all.

These leaves seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force.

The leaves were moving with Ye Ping’s sword momentum.

Ye Ping’s sword was so fast that it was unbelievable.

However, all of a sudden, he slowed down.

Yes, he slowed down.

At this moment, there was only one sentence in Ye Ping’s mind.

“If your heart is not calm, how can you comprehend the Dao?”

He got slower and slower.

However, at this moment, Su Changyu’s voice sounded again.

A gentle breeze blew by.

On the cliff, Su Changyu shivered slightly, feeling the coolness.

Ye Ping, who was below the cliff, stood rooted to the ground.

The basic sword moves appeared in Ye Ping’s mind.

However, those moves were continuously evolving.

Using the basic sword technique as a starting point, he performed endless sword moves.

There was also an additional ancient diagram in Ye Ping’s mind.

“Endless Sword Diagram”

It was the sword diagram that used the basic sword techniques as its foundation. Sword techniques could be deduced from it continuously.

The more sword moves that were deduced, the more sword moves could be directly comprehended when comprehending other sword techniques in the future.

In other words, Ye Ping did not need to comprehend other sword techniques in the future. As long as the number of sword strokes in the sword diagram was sufficient, he could directly comprehend them.

For example, there were 1,440 sword moves in the Four Thunder Sword Technique.

If there were 1,440 sword moves in the sword diagram, he would be able to comprehend the sword momentum after just once, thus saving him a large amount of time.

This was the terrifying thing about the endless sword diagram.

However, it was not the most terrifying.

The most terrifying thing was the sword techniques that the endless sword diagram contained.

The sword technique was called…

Sword-Breaking Technique.
