Chapter 725: Marrying Into the Li Family as a Son-In-Law
In truth, seeing Old Li Ba made Chu Liang quite nervous.
After all, he had advanced to the seventh realm using the Great Dao of Severing the Void, and Old Li Ba the Dao Master of Severing the Void. For seasoned Eminent Ones, this wasn't a big deal, as many of them studied each other's Dao. However, for a newly advanced seventh-realm cultivator like Chu Liang, it was inevitable that he would feel uneasy about this situation.
Surprisingly, Old Li Ba was also quite nervous.
"Sit, hehe." Old Li Ba chuckled as he rubbed his hands together. "I heard that you jumped straight from the fifth realm to the seventh and made quite a name for yourself at Penglai. Not bad, not bad! You didn't bring shame to us—the cultivators of the Great Dao of Severing the Void."
Chu Liang hurriedly replied, "Esteemed Sword Saint, you're praising me too highly. I was quite reckless at the time."
"Bah! There's no need to be modest." Old Li Ba waved his hand, brushing off Chu Liang's show of humility. "You know this, right? The artifact that contains the most Dao essence of the Great Dao of Severing the Void is the Chunyang Ancient Sword, which belongs to my sect. Without meditating on the sight of the Chunyang Ancient Sword, it's difficult to make progress in the Great Dao of Severing the Void, let alone attain Heavenly Origin."
"I've heard a little about it." Chu Liang nodded. "But I never even dared to hope to attain the Heavenly Origin with this Great Dao. It was out of necessity that I ended up advancing to the seventh realm with the Great Dao of Severing the Void. It absolutely wasn't out of any intent to compete with you, Esteemed Senior."
Unsure of the old man's intentions, Chu Liang kept his tone very respectful and only spoke the truth. He was sincere when he said he did not want to compete with Old Li Ba for mastery of the Great Dao of Severing the Void.
The Chunyang Ancient Sword belongs to his sect anyway, so there's no point in trying to fight for it.
"Oh, there's no need to be so polite." Old Li Ba chuckled again. "The future belongs to the young. If you want to comprehend the Great Dao of Severing the Void, you can borrow our Chunyang Ancient Sword to meditate on it."
Chu Liang blinked. "Huh?"
