Chapter 642
Chapter 642: Chapter 70: The Senior Sister is Too Strong, Asks for Help from the Junior Sister Chapter 642: Chapter 70: The Senior Sister is Too Strong, Asks for Help from the Junior Sister In the Cultivation Realm, there is a common understanding: it’s easy to overcome an adversary of a lower grade rank, but difficult to defeat one of a higher realm.
For instance, if you are in the Golden Core Realm at the Soul Storing Rank, to defeat a cultivator of a higher rank in the Root Seeking or Obscure Weave Rank, if your Golden Core is of a higher grade, or you possess some Supreme Rank powerful Immortal Sword or Magical Treasure, a counter kill is not impossible.
But if your opponent is in the Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Immortal Realm, then you practically stand no chance at all.
Even the strong First Grade Golden Core Wei Dongliu has only managed to kill the wandering monk Yu Wen of the Nascent Soul Realm once by relying on the power of the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword and the opponent’s hesitation to incur damage to his treasures, and even then he did not manage to kill him completely.
As for facing this black-robed Taoist in the Immortal Realm, clashing three swords against a single sword might still be manageable, but facing two swords would basically mean no contest.
Even though Ling Yunpo had Innate Sword Bone and the Flying Sword’s physical strength was enhanced, it was still no match under the overwhelming power of an Immortal’s True Yuan, and after a few collisions with the opponent’s twin swords, the strength in his sword completely collapsed.
Losing swiftly and decisively, the black-robed Taoist pondered for a moment before commenting,
“It’s passable, but more rigid than your Senior Sister, failing to adapt in many areas.
You should ponder over the guidance I just gave you when you return, to not waste the talent of ‘Innate Sword Bone’.”
Ling Yunpo: ………..
Not wanting to speak at all, just do whatever you want.
“I have a rough understanding of your strength,” said the black-robed Taoist in a deep voice, “It seems that Su Jian’s seclusion really did delay your growth.”
An Zhisu felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, as this Ancestor was just short of outright saying their strength was too weak, making her feel as though she had let her master down.
Ling Yunpo was used to being disliked by him and thus did not show any expression.

“As I have said, I will reward you, and I won’t go back on my word.
I have a secret technique here for imparting Sword Intent, capable of transferring the Sword Intent I have cultivated over the years to either one of you,” said the black-robed Taoist finally, “Who will receive this Sword Intent?”
“Let my junior brother receive it,” An Zhisu quickly interjected, “My junior brother is so much more outstanding than I am.
Years ago when our Qingluo Peak was isolated in Shushan, it was junior brother who brilliantly strategized to break the deadlock!”
Senior Sister An had seen the whole process of the Ancestor’s disdain for junior brother Ling, but she also knew the old man had a bad temper, so she certainly could not go against him; she could only thus use indirect methods to make peace.
“Hmm,” the black-robed Taoist was very pleased, “Modest in victory, undaunted in defeat, a true disciple trained by Su Jian.
That your junior brother has a Senior Sister like you is indeed his good fortune.”
“It should go to Senior Sister,” seeing the black-robed Taoist’s clear attitude, Ling Yunpo immediately spoke.
“Hmph,” the black-robed Taoist said with displeasure, “Even if siblings modestly defer to each other, why are you always a step behind?
In such matters, you should be the first to speak up!”
Ling Yunpo had already become numb to it and pretended as if he had heard nothing, but secretly instructed the Kunlun Mirror:
“Ah Jing, make sure you keep a clear eye, if this sly Taoist pretends to impart his personal Sword Intent, but actually intends to take possession of Senior Sister An’s soul, you must intervene to stop him immediately!”
“Understood,” the Kunlun Mirror watched silently as the other party began to operate his cultivation technique, “It’s not soul possession, just an ordinary transmission of Sword Intent.”
“Sword Intent,” the Green Duckweed Sword explained on the side, “is the pure comprehension of the Sword Path.
For example, if the opponent attacks with this move, I should block with which move, in simple terms Sword Intent combines these experiences, and contains no soul, consciousness, or even memories, Sword Master need not worry excessively.”
“Hmph, why would this sly Taoist look upon my Senior Sister with such regard?
Maybe he has ulterior motives,” Ling Yunpo voiced his suspicions, “It’s always good to be cautious!”
“Wait, but your Senior Sister An is not weak,” the Kunlun Mirror asked in surprise, “She possesses the Innate Sword Heart, you know?
The ‘Innate’ Sword Heart.”
“Shut up, shattered mirror!
Of course, I know that,” Ling Yunpo said irritably.
???G0.??
The robed elder gave his Sword Intent to An Zhisu, and it was clear from his expression that he weakened considerably.
He then turned to Ling Yunpo and said,
“As the elder, I never play favorites.
Since your Senior Sister has received the Sword Intent, I will not neglect to award you as well.
I heard that after Su Jian went into seclusion, he didn’t leave you with the Golden Core Realm Seven Kills Sword Technique?”
Ling Yunpo: ………..
Well then!
This favoritism is a bit too much!
It’s one thing to reward my Senior Sister with the Sword Intent, but how come when it gets to me, it turns into a swordsmanship inheritance?
If you pass on swordsmanship to me, could I possibly refuse to teach it to my Senior Sister?
So, you’re saying my Senior Sister gets to win twice, huh!
But after thinking about it carefully, since my Senior Sister received the Sword Intent and would teach me whatever she comprehended, it didn’t really matter to me in the end.
The robed elder passed on the Golden Core Realm swordsmanship to him via a voice transmission and recited it once before finally speaking weakly,
“All right, I need to sleep now.
When I awake next time, I don’t know whether it will be life or death, or when that will be…
If Su Jian comes out of seclusion one day, have him come to see me.”
After finishing his words, his voice broke off and disappeared entirely.
Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu both respectfully paid their respects to the robed elder, then turned and left.
Back at Qingluo Peak of Shushan, Ling Yunpo recounted the swordsmanship he had received to his Senior Sister and laughed,
“Who would have thought this journey would yield such rewards.
Indeed, our master doesn’t usually keep a diary, but he recorded this event so seriously.
It must have been deliberate, to let us find out.”
“Indeed,” An Zhisu also smiled and said, “With the Sword Intent given by our great-grandmaster, my Divine Sense has grown rapidly, and I believe I will soon break through the Soul Storing Rank.”
Ling Yunpo: ???
“Sword Intent can also promote the growth of Divine Sense?” he hastened to ask the Qing Ping Sword.
“As a part of enlightenment, Sword Intent can certainly promote the growth of Divine Sense,” said the Qing Ping Sword in a faint voice, “It’s like pouring water into a bucket, whether it’s well water, rainwater, or mountain spring water, the water in the bucket will always increase.”
Damn it, that robed elder really is biased!
Ling Yunpo was indignant.
An Zhisu has received the great-grandmaster’s Sword Intent, which will surely make her cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.
I must quickly break through the Soul Storing Rank.
Otherwise, when the time comes to vie for the Heaven-Mending Stone, if I am too far behind my Senior Sister in strength, I won’t be able to beat her or escape-that would be troublesome!
“Ah Jing!
Load the Luo Yan file!
I need Miss Shi’s wisdom to help me break through!”
[Location Three: Penglai Yuqing View, Heavenly Craft Workshop.]
[Identity: Luo Yan.]
[Mirror Flower Water Moon Template overlay in progress, undergoing time-space travel.]
Deep under Yuqing View, Luo Yan optimized the Protective Sect Array of Penglai a bit further, then had a few words with the gatekeeping elder before going back to the Heavenly Craft Workshop to seek out Miss Shi, to have her calculate where his “breakthrough” opportunity might be.
However, he discovered that Miss Shi had recently made a batch of Flying Swords and intended to sell them in the Fanghu Market, so she was not in the Heavenly Craft Workshop.
Calculating carefully, by the time she returns, she should happen to meet Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian on her way back and thus go to find the ruins of the Donghua Sect.
In that case, I might as well wait for her in the View.
