Martial Cultivator
Chapter 642.1: A Sword Is More Than Just a Sword, a Scholar Is Also a Person - Part 1Sword Sect.
The Sword Sect that suspended in midair, exuded sword qi in all directions, its sword intent inextinguishable.
In front of the cave dwelling on the back mountain, the green vines suddenly snapped, and the leaves above were cleaved apart, falling in a rustling shower.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master slowly walked out of the cave, glancing towards the direction of the Imperial City. His eyes were filled with endless sword intent, constantly rising and fading, as if in a cycle of reincarnation.
His aura was also significantly stronger than before.
It was very clear that after traveling the world, the Sword Sect's Sect Master's cultivation realm had become far more powerful than he had been at the start.
It was difficult to advance even a single step at the end of Nepenthe. But evidently, after the Sword Sect's Sect Master's battle with the Demon Emperor, after comprehending the Dao Ancestor's sword artifact, and after visiting White Deer's monastery, the Sword Sect's Sect Master had advanced several steps forward.
The Sword Dao of the world had been further elevated by this Sword Sect's Sect Master.
But that was not the peak.
Far from it.The Sword Sect's Sect Master stood in front of the cave and was silent for a moment, before preparing to leave, heading toward the Imperial City.
But soon, a voice rang out. "Sect Master, please wait!"
At some point, a person appeared before the cave. He stood there, looking up at the world's number one sword cultivator, and asked seriously, "Sect Master, may this disciple ask if you're heading to the Divine Capital?"
The Sword Sect's Sect Master turned to look at the person, a hint of admiration in his eyes. The sword intent surrounding this cave was dense, and even ordinary sword immortals might not necessarily be able to reach this place. The fact that this person had made it here said a great deal.
"Yu Xiyi, what are your plans?"
The Sword Sect's Sect Master looked at this young man, who had only just stepped into the Nepenthe Realm and become a sword immortal, and slowly spoke.
Yu Xiyi said seriously, "Sect Master, as sword cultivators, we must not only focus on the sword but also on what is right and wrong, good and evil."
The Sword Sect's Sect Master replied indifferently, "And who are you to teach me?"
When it comes to Sword Dao cultivation and their status within the Sword Sect, the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.
"It's not to teach Sect Master, what Sect Master seeks is the one sword that has never existed before. If the goal is to achieve that sword without regard for right and wrong, then even if this sword art is achieved, it cannot be considered the one sword that has never existed."
Yu Xiyi was neither obsequious nor haughty, "I ask Sect Master to think thrice."
The Sword Sect's Sect Master looked at Yu Xiyi and said, "I know you have some understanding of Sword Dao, but you have not walked far enough. You have not seen those sights. How can you rashly speak of right and wrong in Sword Dao?"
Yu Xiyi shook his head. "Right and wrong are not merely words of the strong."
The Sword Sect's Sect Master shook his head. "When you can stand where I stand, then you may speak to me about right and wrong."
After saying this, the Sword Sect's Sect Master did not wish to waste any more words and was about to leave.
"Sect Master!"
Yu Xiyi spoke again, then took a deep breath and said very seriously, "If Sect Master insists on going through with this, then this disciple will be bold and attempt to stop Sect Master!" ṟÃℕƟꞖĘŚ
Looking at Yu Xiyi, the Sword Sect's Sect Master had a strange look in his eyes, as though hearing the most amusing joke in the world.
It was true that Yu Xiyi had reached the sword immortal realm, but he was still just a sword immortal, with a million miles left to go before he could reach him.
"Yu Xiyi, you overestimate your own ability. Do you really think I won't kill you?"
The Sword Sect's Sect Master looked at Yu Xiyi coldly. The sword art he sought was the culmination of his life's pursuit. If someone really tried to stop him, even if that person were a sword immortal from his own Sword Sect, he might not spare their lives.
"This matter has its right and wrong. Even if this disciple's cultivation realm isn't as high as Sect Master's, I won't turn a blind eye to this."
Yu Xiyi gripped Wild Grass' hilt. This Hundred Year Sword that was forged by Sword Qi Mountain did not show any sign of fear even when faced with the current leader of Sword Dao. Instead, it trembled with excitement.
"The sword is indeed a fine sword, and you're a fine person too. But to debate Sword Dao with me? Do you know that in this world there are countless sword cultivators, with thousands of Sword Daos, but none have dared to debate the right and wrong of Sword Dao in front of me?"
He was the number one sword cultivator in the world. The mountain called Sword Dao - he stood at its summit, and there was no one by his side.
"There were none before, but this disciple will be the first!"
Yu Xiyi spoke calmly, his eyes filled with unmatched determination.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master looked at Yu Xiyi and shook his head. "You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."
Yu Xiyi remained silent, but his sword intent continued to rise. In an instant, it felt as though sword qi was rushing to the heavens.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not saying a word.
Yu Xiyi tightened his grip on Wild Grass, exhaled a turbid breath, and unleashed a sword strike.
In that instant, a great surge of sword qi appeared before the Sword Sect's Sect Master. A vast ocean of sword intent poured forth, and endless sword qi swirled like a gust of wind, sweeping toward the Sword Sect's Sect Master.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master did not make a move. He just looked at Yu Xiyi, allowing the sword to strike his body. Not even his robes fluttered.
Yu Xiyi's sword strike surged toward the Sword Sect's Sect Master but passed through the folds of his sleeves, eventually dissipating within the cave. "Yu Xiyi, since you wish to test your sword against me, I will allow you three swords. Let's see what realm your cultivation has reached after all these years."
The Sword Sect's Sect Master stepped out of the cave, hovering in mid-air, looking down at Yu Xiyi from above.
As the number one sword cultivator in the world, the Sword Sect's Sect Master truly had the qualification to look down upon all sword cultivators in the world.
Yu Xiyi took a deep breath. He was not discouraged by his failure with the first sword. Instead, he quickly unleashed his second sword.
With this second strike, the sword qi surged even more intensely, more violently, soaring toward the sky.
The sword qi rose in front of Yu Xiyi and then shot upward toward the heavens, causing several sword cries to suddenly ring out from the Sword Sect. This also alerted the many sword cultivators of the Sword Sect.
Countless figures began rushing toward the area, but soon stopped at the foot of the rear mountain, glancing at each other.
"Judging by the sword intent, it should be Yu Xiyi drawing his sword. He's not holding back. Is he challenging his fellow sect members by drawing his sword in the Sword Sect?"
A sword cultivator spoke with confusion, not understanding the situation.
"No, he's drawing his sword against the Sect Master."
Soon, an elder sword immortal arrived and quickly gave an answer.
"What audacity. Yu Xiyi, a measly little sword immortal, dares to draw his sword against the Sect Master!"
Upon realizing what was happening, everyone present was stunned. After all, the Sword Sect's Sect Master was the strongest sword cultivator of the current era, with no equals in Sword Dao.
Even though Yu Xiyi had already stepped into the realm of sword immortal, there was absolutely no chance of him winning.
"What is this junior thinking? How dare he be so reckless and overestimate himself!"
A senior sword immortal spoke in confusion, his face filled with bewilderment.
