Chapter 1001: Sword Saint Taixuan of the Sword Whisper Tower (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Water Splitting Sword Technique actually did not have a fixed sword move. Its essence was mainly the sword intent, and the sword intent contained various forms of the Great Dao of the Water. Therefore, if he wanted to cultivate this sword technique, he had to comprehend the Great Dao.

Shen Ping was not confident that the experts in this world could comprehend it. However, he did not think that Fairy Lijiang could master it. He agreed to teach her purely out of admiration. In addition, he had nothing to do.

“Senior Brother Shen, my surname is Yao, and my name is Xian. Senior Brother, you can call me Junior Sister Yao,” Fairy Lijiang hugged her sword and said softly.

Shen Ping nodded. “Junior Sister Yao, before you cultivate the Water Splitting Sword Technique, you should show me the sword techniques you have learned so that I can have a direct understanding of your Sword Dao. How about that?”

“Xian’er listens to Senior Brother’s instructions.” She walked to the place where she usually practiced her sword techniques in the courtyard. First, she casually drew a flower with her sword. Then, her sword moved agilely and elegantly as she practiced her sword techniques. The sword intent was continuous and gentle, but it had the lightness of the wind. Especially when the long-sleeved skirt on her body fluttered, it had a romantic beauty under the hazy moonlight.

Apart from admiring it, Shen Ping became interested. He raised his hand and pinched a bamboo leaf to his mouth. It blew like the sound of a flute. The tune was elegant and touching. In a daze, the entire courtyard seemed to have changed into another scenery. He saw a general in armor bringing a foreign princess across thousands of mountains and rivers to the city wall of the border. Just as they were about to part, the foreign princess danced alone in the mountains, and the wind blew her skirt…

The melodious sound of the flute unknowingly contained the true essence of the Water Splitting Sword Technique that he had comprehended, which was the various insights of the Great Dao of Water. The mountains and rivers in the scenery were all displays of sword intent.

Seeming to be infected, Fairy Lijiang’s sword technique was more like a sword dance. It was as graceful as the wind, as gentle as water, and as romantic as a mountain.

The song ended. The image dissipated. Fairy Lijiang broke free from that mystical state and could not help but ask, “What song did Senior Brother Shen play just now? It was very nice.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “It’s called a myth. It’s about a general and a foreign princess, a love that transcends status and time.”

Fairy Lijiang was stunned for a moment. “Senior Brother Shen, can love between men and women really transcend status, race, and time?”

Seeing that she was serious, Shen Ping could not be perfunctory. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, “If it’s just physical pleasure, it’s not transcending. If they admire each other but restrain themselves and are willing to sacrifice their lives for another person, the love of such a person in the world can indeed transcend everything. But there are very few people in the world who can do this.”

Fairy Lijiang was silent. Then, she said, “Senior Brother Shen, can demons really not get along peacefully with us humans?”

Shen Ping: “…”

He could not react to Yao Xian’s jumpiness. Shen Ping did not say anything. Fairy Lijiang sighed, “Senior Brother, I want to learn this song. Can you teach me?”

“Of course.”

Hence, apart from teaching Fairy Lijiang sword techniques, Shen Ping also taught her the tune.

Several days later, Palace Master Yan asked about practicing the sword. Shen Ping said truthfully, “Junior Sister Yao’s talent in the Sword Dao is not bad, but the Water Splitting Sword contains many sword intents and has unparalleled transformations. If she wants to master it, I’m afraid she has to continue over the years.”

Palace Master Yan nodded. She was mentally prepared.

“By the way, Palace Master, I heard that there are prodigies from the Demon Nation in the academy. Why haven’t I seen them in the academy these days?”

His true soul power could not sense the demonic energy of Seeping River Academy. Palace Master Yan hesitated for a moment and sighed. “The geniuses of the Demon Nation have long left the academy. Speaking of which, it’s all because of the Marquis of Zhenbei.”

“Because of me?” Shen Ping blinked.

Palace Master Yan explained, “You killed 100,000 demon soldiers at the border and greatly increased the prestige of the Yuhua Shen Dynasty. The commoners also felt honored, including the students of my academy. Therefore, their usual words naturally had contempt for those geniuses of the demon country. Then, there was a conflict.

“In the end, a life was lost. The prodigies of the Demon Nation are far superior to us humans in terms of bloodline. Although their comprehension of swordsmanship and other techniques is average, their strength is indeed strong at the same level. The prodigies of the Demon Nation know that it’s not easy to cultivate in our academy, so they restrained themselves everywhere. In the end, they lost their lives. In order to prevent the other prodigies from taking revenge, a prodigy who was on good terms with Xian’er used his life to threaten the other prodigies to leave the academy temporarily.”

Speaking of this, she shook her head gently. “In the past dynasties, humans and the Demon Nation have been fighting endlessly. The original intention of our academy was to let humans and demons get along equally and settle this dispute. Unfortunately, it has not succeeded until now.”

Shen Ping finally understood why Fairy Lijiang would ask such a question the night she first learned sword techniques. “Palace Master, demons eat humans and humans eat demons. This is a fundamental problem that can’t be reconciled. Even if the academy promotes equal opportunities for the talented, it’s difficult to truly make humans and demons peaceful if we really break this concept. This is because not every demon can do it. As long as one can’t do it, this conflict will be triggered.”

Palace Master Yan smiled bitterly. “Yes, the past Palace Masters have actually seen through this, but although they have seen through it, there are still some things that they have to do. It’s always good to minimize the killing.”

Shen Ping did not expect Seeping River Academy to have such a great aspiration. It could only be said that idealists were everywhere.

At night, as he smelled the fragrance of Fairy Lijiang, he smiled and teased, “Junior Sister Yao, did you take a bath again?”

Fairy Lijiang’s face was slightly red. “You wanted me to immerse myself in nature. I will inevitably be stained with some smell during the day. If I don’t bathe, I’m afraid I’ll affect your teachings.”frёewebnoѵēl.com
