Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sword-Breaking Technique!

The sword technique that broke all other sword techniques in the world was the Sword-Breaking Technique!

Ye Ping got a clear understanding of the information of the sword technique.

He did not seem happy at all.

Instead, he looked at Su Changyu who was on the cliff.

He was silent, but his eyes were filled with admiration.

He thought that Sword-Breaking Technique was the technique that Su Changyu wanted to impart to him.

The technique that would break all the other sword techniques in the world.

However, in order to truly break all sword techniques in the world, one would have to deduce the Endless Sword Diagram.

Simply put, the Sword-Breaking Technique would be able to break all the sword techniques and sword moves in the endless sword diagram, but if it wasn’t deduced, there would be no way to break it.

At this moment, there were already 3,000 sword moves in the Endless Sword Diagram.

The Four Thunder Sword Technique had 1,440 sword moves while the Heavenly River Swordsmanship had 2,400 sword moves. However, they added up to 3,000 because of some overlapping moves.

If someone cast the 3,000 sword moves in front of Ye Ping, he would definitely not be defeated.

There would only be one situation in which he would fail, and that was if the difference in their realms was massive.

Otherwise, Ye Ping would suppress all of them.

There wouldn’t be any other outcome.

At this moment, Su Changyu had been standing on the cliff for two hours.

He looked at the sky and thought that the time was just right.

After calming himself down for a while, he said, “You’ve gained enlightenment.”

Those three words rang in Ye Ping’s ear.

That was the line that Su Changyu had been preparing to say for a long time, but in fact, he would say that regardless of whether Ye Ping had comprehended it or not.

Anyway, whether he did or not was up to Su Changyu.

Below the cliff, Ye Ping was a little stunned.

He didn’t expect Su Changyu to have already detected it although he had just comprehended the Endless Sword Diagram.

‘Eldest Senior Brother can tell that I’ve already comprehended it without even looking at me?’

This!

Suppressing the astonishment in his heart, Ye Ping looked at Su Changyu and bowed respectfully.

“It’s all thanks to your good teachings, Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping said seriously.

He knew that he was able to comprehend the Endless Sword Diagram all of a sudden, most likely because of the help he received from Su Changyu.

‘If it wasn’t for the late night guidance from Eldest Senior Brother, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to comprehend the Endless Sword Diagram even if I gave myself a few more months to do so, right?’

‘Huh?’

On the cliff.

In an instant, Su Changyu froze in shock.

‘You comprehended again?’

‘Do you really think I, Su Changyu, am a fool?’

‘I’ve at least learned the Four Thunder Sword Technique that you managed to comprehend previously.’

‘However, the problem is that I have never learned any sword technique other than the Four Thunder Sword Technique. I can barely consider that Chuanhe Swordsmanship to be the only other sword technique I’ve learned.’

‘You’ve already learned the Chuanhe Swordsmanship too.’

‘What else can you comprehend?’

‘Little Junior Brother, don’t act presumptuously as you please just because you’re highly talented.’

‘Do you really not see me as a human being?’

Su Changyu criticized in his head.

He wasn’t making mountains out of molehills, but Ye Ping was behaving too exaggeratedly.

He was convinced that Ye Ping could comprehend the Four Thunder Sword Technique with a single sword mark!

After all, he had really mastered the Four Thunder Sword Technique too.

‘You said that you managed to comprehend sword techniques from the second sword mark?’

‘Come on, tell me what you’ve comprehended.’

Su Changyu felt a strong urge to voice out loud his criticism towards Ye Ping, but he held it in after all.

“You spent nearly a month on comprehending the second sword mark. Little Junior Brother, do you know where you went wrong?”

Su Changyu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not because he was trying to look cool but because he was afraid that he would be unable to stop himself from asking Ye Ping to display the new sword techniques that he had comprehended after seeing him.

However, if Ye Ping did not comprehend the new sword technique, he might end up undermining his confidence and affect the relationship between the two of them.

However, if he comprehended the new sword technique, Su Changyu might end up undermining his own confidence and affect the relationship between the two of them.

Hence, he decided that it was better not to look at Ye Ping.

“I don’t know, please enlighten me, Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping asked sincerely.

“You’re being too eager.”

At the next moment, Su Changyu spoke in a calm but firm voice.

“From the day you joined the Qingyun Dao Sect, you have been very eager and I can tell that you want to cultivate immortality very much.”

“Yes, immortal cultivation is pursued by everyone. Everyone wants to be the brightest star in the night sky.”

“However, the great path of immortal cultivation is long and you mustn’t be impatient when it comes to such things. The more impatient you are, the less progress you will make, so sometimes you have to know how to let go.”

“If you don’t lose sometimes, you won’t gain.”

Su Changyu said calmly.

His words made Ye Ping fall silent.

‘Yeah, looking back, I’ve only joined the immortal sect for two months. Although my progress has been mediocre, I’ve been cultivating hard every day and night. I’m either comprehending the Dao or on my way to doing so.’

He didn’t admire the beauty of the world or the thrill of cultivating immortality. All he could think about was stepping onto the path of immortal cultivation sooner and becoming stronger.

He was just like a tool, numb and soulless.

“You’re right, Eldest Senior Brother, I will definitely reflect seriously.”

Ye Ping bowed and admitted to his mistakes. He decided to reflect on them well.

“Little Junior Brother,” Su Changyu continued.

He was still standing with his hands behind his back on the cliff, staring at the starry sky.

“What is your purpose of immortal cultivation?”

Su Changyu’s strange question that was out of the blue made Ye Ping stunned.

The question seemed simple, but after pondering for a long time, Ye Ping realized that he didn’t have an answer.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I… I’m not very clear either. I only know that immortal cultivation can prolong one’s lifespan. If I must state a reason, it should be that because I want to be carefree.”

He pondered for a long time.

Ye Ping finally gave that answer.

He wasn’t very clear about what he was practicing immortal cultivation for.

If he must state a reason…

Immortality was a huge temptation for him.

Living a carefree life was a huge temptation for him too.

Ye Ping didn’t covet true immortality and living for a few thousand more years would be enough for him to do everything that he wanted to. That wouldn’t be considered a wasted trip then.

He did not have a specific goal or purpose.

At least, not now.

If he had to state one, it would be longevity and freedom.

“Carefree? Unrestrained?”

Su Changyu pondered over those words carefully and did not continue to say anything more. He simply walked down from the cliff and left this place without looking back.

“Ye Ping, we will be setting off the day after tomorrow at dawn. Since you have already comprehended, take a good rest for two days, do not be so hard on yourself again.”

Su Changyu did not look back, nor did he look at Ye Ping. He simply left.

Under the moonlight, his figure was elongated, and he was in an indescribable mood.

After seeing Su Changyu leave, Ye Ping stayed silent for a long time.

Half an hour later, he instantly snapped back to his senses.

He smiled calmly and waved his hand, after which the sword rose and landed in his hand.

“Come up, Sword of Great River!”

A voice sounded and in an instant, the leaves on the entire rear cliff floated up and swarmed towards the sea like water.

A terrifying sword momentum was blasted away.

That was the Heavenly River sword momentum.

After comprehending the Endless Sword Diagram and mastering the 3,000 sword moves, Ye Ping comprehended the Heavenly River sword momentum.

After a casual demonstration, he left the rear cliff.

Planning to rest for two days, he returned to his residence.

Just like that, time flew like an arrow and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the day for their descent from the mountain.
