Chapter 325: Imparting the Sword Technique
Chu Feng knew that this so-called master of his was really just trying to pry information out of him and learn his solution.
He was no fool; he wasn’t going to say anything until he had found a better alternative.
And then there was the issue with Bai Xue, which was a complete minefield.
If he dared to say he would take care of Bai Xue or anything of the sort, Su Miaoke would probably kick him out of bed that night. She was the jealous type.
That’s why he had chimed in so quickly. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.
After all, he was a married man now, not the single guy he used to be.
"Pfft, I’m a grown woman. Do I need you to take care of me? I’ll be fine just walking around by myself," Bai Xue said.
"I guess you’re right. You are all grown up. But you can have my wife go with you. Let her show you the sights," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Oh, okay! Great!" Bai Xue nodded eagerly. She quite liked Su Miaoke.
"Then can I call you Senior Sister, just like Chu Feng?" Su Miaoke asked curiously.
Truthfully, she quite liked Bai Xue as well. Provided, of course, she wasn’t a rival.
After all, no woman can resist another beautiful woman.
"Of course you can. In that case, I’ll call you Sister-in-law," Bai Xue said with a smile.
"Oh, right, Senior Sister. If you’re going to be traveling and training in the mortal world, once you’re back in Beihai, do you want to go spar with some of the younger generation from the Zhao Family? Last time I fought them, I couldn’t beat them at all," Su Miaoke said.
"We’ll see about that when the time comes. I’m going to enjoy myself here for a few days first," Bai Xue said.
And just like that, the group ate their noodles and chatted happily.
After finishing their noodles, Chu Feng and the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect went upstairs to begin learning the Celestial Sword Technique.
Wasting no time, Chu Feng directly took out the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique—the original manuscript itself.
’Besides, this thing was meant for the descendants of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor anyway.’
"By the time I found him, he’d been dead for who knows how many years. All that was left with him was this Sword Technique and a sword," Chu Feng said.
"He must have died full of regret, unable to break through to that next realm." A flash of anger appeared in the eyes of the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader.
"The Celestial Sword Technique has no written copy. It’s passed down orally through the generations, so you must listen carefully," the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect said.
"Understood. Please begin, Master. I’m listening," Chu Feng said with a nod.
The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect then began to recite it.
As she recited the first line of the mantra, she executed an accompanying movement.
Chu Feng froze. A peculiar sensation instantly welled up from deep within his heart.
’Celestial Sword Technique. As the name implies, a sword from the heavens, it represents something ethereal and illusory.’
’In other words, the Celestial Sword Technique isn’t meant for combat against Martial Cultivators. It’s a Divine Soul Sword Technique!’
’The way the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect is performing the Celestial Sword Technique... she’s got the fundamental direction wrong.’
’It needs to be executed using the Divine Soul to maximize its power!’
’However, executing the Celestial Sword Technique with the Divine Soul requires one’s Divine Soul to reach a certain level of power. For most Cultivators today, even those at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, their Divine Soul Strength is actually very weak.’
’Too weak, in fact, to perform this Celestial Sword Technique. That must be why the technique gradually evolved into its current state.’
The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect instructed Chu Feng like this for a full hour.
"So? Have you memorized it?" the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect inquired.
"Yes, I’ve memorized it all," Chu Feng said, nodding as he let out a long sigh.
He was incredibly excited inside. ’This Celestial Sword Technique is just as I thought. It’s truly something special.’
’Ordinary people could never unleash the power of this Sword Technique. Only a special few could.’
’Even hundreds or thousands of years ago, a Sword Technique like this would’ve been considered top-tier.’
He was itching to try it out immediately, but he suppressed the urge. The Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect was still here, after all.
"Your talent and comprehension are quite good, so memorizing this Sword Technique is no problem. However, if you want to truly master it, you must first master the other Sword Techniques of the Celestial Sword Sect. Otherwise, it will be very difficult," the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect said.
She went on to teach him the other Sword Skills of the Celestial Sword Sect as well.
As Chu Feng looked over these other Sword Techniques, he was surprised to discover that the other Sword Techniques of the Celestial Sword Sect all served the Celestial Sword Technique. Practicing them could, in fact, enhance one’s Divine Soul Strength to some extent.
However, for Chu Feng, this was completely useless.
He could cultivate the Celestial Sword Technique directly; he didn’t need any of these aids.
"Master, why don’t you stay for a few more days, too? It’s not like you have anything urgent to get back to. You might as well relax and have some fun," Chu Feng said.
In truth, after this interaction, Chu Feng realized that the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect was actually a pretty decent person.
’Perhaps the whole affair with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor left her scarred, making her personality a little extreme. But aside from that, she’s actually a good person.’
"I’m done here. This business is over, and it’s time for me to go back. I don’t wish to linger in the mortal world. If you have time, remember to pay a visit to the Celestial Sword Sect," the old woman said.
