Chapter 139: Chapter 109: When You Roam the World, This Scenery Will Be Just Right

"Oh, in this Cultivation Technique, one word is replaced with [成], two words represent [心], three words are replaced with [无]... This is the secret language from the [Supreme Qingwei Scripture] that my mother taught me, and I memorized it at the time."

So, there’s a password, and even if ordinary people got their hands on it, they wouldn’t dare to practice it, as practicing it could lead to death.

This Sword Technique, as one can imagine, is immensely important in Master Qiuye’s heart.

Who is she guarding against? Naturally, it’s King Jinghai, but perhaps others as well.

It’s only passed on to her precious daughter, with no one else able to understand it.

Chen Ping’s heart skipped a beat; is he really able to read such an important tome?

"Don’t worry, although my mother is cold-faced and cold-hearted, she’s the kindest at heart. If I ask her, she definitely won’t blame me...

This Sword Technique was something she acquired by chance and has nothing to do with the Qingwei Sect. As long as she’s willing and I am too, you can learn it."

Alright, I’ll trust you then, don’t let me down, girl.

Chen Ping looked at Hua Lian’er’s earnest expression and couldn’t bear to reject her goodwill.

He immediately flipped open the booklet and, following the secret language taught by Hua Lian’er, read it from beginning to end, memorizing it several times in his mind, and then stood there, bewildered.

"Are you sure I can learn this?"

When I first learned the Seven Stars Step, Hua Lian’er drew some small figures, and by following them, I gradually understood.

However, this [Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword] is nothing but esoteric and obscure.

It seems like it can only be grasped through comprehension, not verbal instruction, like those Daoist scriptures.

My foundation in Daoism is not profound, and after reading it, I understood nothing.

"You definitely can, I learned it just by reading it once, and with Seventh Brother’s good knowledge, there’s no reason you can’t learn it."

Hua Lian’er smiled like a blossoming flower, as if recalling how Chen Ping had previously joked about her lack of learning.

Finally, seeing this all-capable fellow hitting a roadblock, she excitedly boasted, "Look, look, I really learned this Swordsmanship."

With that, she unsheathed her sword.

The sword didn’t strike particularly fast, just a light tap.

A thin thread of Sword Qi extended three inches from the sword’s edge, touching a nearby short tree.

Hiss...

This Sword Aura was as thin as a needle, not very powerful, and of relatively low offensive might.

In Chen Ping’s view, at most, Hua Lian’er’s sword could pierce a small hole in a tree as thick as a bowl, which was already remarkable.

However, the result left him extremely surprised.

As Hua Lian’er’s Sword Qi touched that short tree,

a creaking sound echoed in his ears.

The tree trunk first had a small hole appear, followed by a cave-in, causing the entire tree to collapse with a rumble.

’This is not scientific.’

Chen Ping walked closer to have a look.

And found out that the tree fibers were not severed by the sword’s edge but had torn apart on their own...

In other words, Hua Lian’er’s sword pierce targeted the tree’s balance point.

Although the sword wound was not significant,

for the short tree, its own weight brought about the destruction of the tree itself.

"Weakness Attack, harming at one point, attacking the whole, it’s no wonder this sword is called [Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword].

The heart is like the bright moon, transcending the Celestial Heart; a single sword thrust destroys everything."

He thought about facing such an opponent, if struck by one sword, and the entire body’s strength went out of balance and collapsed, how terrifying that would be.

"How did you do it, Xiaoyue?"

Chen Ping remembered that throughout their journey together, she had never learned swordsmanship.

After just taking a bath in the Prince’s Mansion’s backyard, she had learned such a powerful Sword Technique and understood how to use it.

Some people are truly annoying compared to others.

"I naturally knew how once I read through the booklet, then simply circulated some Dantian Internal Qi, and opened up three of the Twelve Main Meridians..."

Hua Lian’er tilted her head in thought, not fully comprehending why, and then added, "I think I heard my mother say before that I have had a clear and tranquil mind since childhood, so once I start practicing swords, I might step directly into the [Sword Heart Clarity] Realm...

But without comparison, I don’t know if it’s because of the Sword Heart Clarity.

Why don’t you ponder it more carefully, my mother said she couldn’t learn it at first, and then suddenly she comprehended it later.

In my opinion, this Sword Technique is in no way inferior to the Heaven-Questioning Sword, and may even be more lethal... Once Seventh Brother masters it, encountering the Lifeless Sword Intent again, one sword will break it."

The little girl bore a grudge.

She clearly recalled the scene when the Sword Elder pierced Chen Ping, causing him to spit blood and wound his five internal organs.

She was encouraging him to take revenge.

"Alright, I’m sure I can learn it."

Being looked at with such trusting eyes by a cute little girl,

there was no way Chen Ping could say "no."

He could only bravely assert that he could do it.

He thought, perhaps it was due to a lack of "Enlightenment," so much that he couldn’t even enter the doorway; without a direction in, how could he learn?

Checking his Enlightenment, it was currently at seven, with a potential rating. Considered a little genius.

Glancing at his Fortune, he still had 24 points left, and he silently commanded to add to his Enlightenment.

With 20 points of Fortune burned, his Enlightenment increased by one point, reaching eight points.

Chen Ping felt his mind becoming much clearer, and bit by bit, understanding from the Daoist scriptures and classics he had read in his past life emerged in his heart. Revisiting the [Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword], he had some ideas.

Even though he still didn’t understand,

it was no longer entirely without clues.

’Indeed, it’s due to Enlightenment. Otherwise, one would have to wait until realizing the Martial Intent, continually pondering over time, hoping for that flash of inspiration.’

Listening to Hua Lian’er recounting how her mother, Master Qiuye, comprehended the sword, Chen Ping had some judgments in his heart.

He was not initially hoping to learn this Sword Technique in a short time, but after testing the increased Enlightenment, he found there was hope.

’Thus, I must accumulate Fortune to enhance Enlightenment. This Swordsmanship appears very useful, combining with the Clear Wind Shadowless Sword, the lethality more than doubles.’

The Clear Wind Shadowless Sword, though not of the highest grade, is considered Supreme Swordsmanship...reaching the pinnacle in technique, pursuing speed and concealment.

Compared to techniques, compared to swiftness, this Sword Technique doesn’t lose to any supreme art under heaven.

The only flaw is that the attack power is slightly weak.

If facing an opponent with strong defense, it becomes somewhat challenging to fight.

One or two swords may not be fatal.

It’s quite disadvantageous.

But if you add the [Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword] with its spiritual level Sword Techniques and Weakness Attack, what would occur then?

Unless you don’t get struck, as long as you do, it’s basically a death sentence.

Therefore, the [Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword] cannot be overlooked.

Chen Ping estimated that this set of Sword Techniques might involve Divine Will manipulation, not necessarily something someone at their level is qualified to learn.

In previous lives’ Daoist tomes, it talked about Refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the three treasures of the human body, each with its own marvel.

In this current world, he had seen Body Refining Martial Arts, he had seen Qi Refining Martial Arts, but he hadn’t seen Spirit Refining Martial Arts yet.

Now it seems, having come across the Cui family’s ’Heaven-Questioning Sword’ on the road, and now having this [Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword], without exception, they seem to belong to the realm of Spirit Refining Martial Arts.

The former calculated invincibility, always seizing the initiative.

The latter defies logic, attacking weaknesses...

They both likely involve the brain; this matter can be verified slowly in the future.

"Let’s head back, Xiaoyue. If you want to find me in the future, avoid mentioning Tian Qi’s name; just go to the Primordial Martial Arts Hall and ask."

Chen Ping had an unclear sense.

The name Tian Qi might as well be hidden.

If exposed, it spells death.

Upon saying so, Hua Lian’er’s previously joyful face immediately fell, prompting Chen Ping to hurriedly say: "You know, my current strength is still insufficient; I cannot garner worldly recognition and cannot protect you.

When the day comes that I’m strong enough to roam freely beneath the heavens, not fearing anyone, I’ll come for you then."

"Really?"

Hua Lian’er’s face transformed from cloudy to sunny: "Then when you reach the point of dominating the world, if my father dares to stop, don’t hesitate to pound him to a pulp."

This little sweetheart.

Chen Ping was speechless.

The little girl was easy to coax, brightened by just a few words.

They then even childishly hooked their little fingers, Chen Ping finally, under Hua Lian’er’s reluctant gaze, mounted his horse and set off on his journey home.

’Never mind dominating the world for now, the most important thing is first obtaining the Primordial Golden Body Technique’s Silver Body Realm cultivation method...

Although I’ve opened the Three Bright Acupoints and significantly advanced my strength, compared to those experts who casually display Innate Martial Intent, I’m still far from enough.’

Reaching a corner, he turned around.

To see Hua Lian’er still standing in the wind, unmoving, gazing at him.

Chen Ping’s heart trembled slightly, silently sighing, he spurred his horse swiftly, disappearing into the depths of the forest.
