Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fierce Star Sword Domain.

At this moment, the Fierce Star Sword Domain was packed with people.

Although there was a crowd in the Fierce Star Sword Domain, Sword Master Song Zheng was only a peak Apotheosis Stage cultivator.

Hence, not only was the Fierce Star Sword Domain ranked low among all the Big Dipper Sword Domains, but even the people who led the Fierce Star Sword Domain were a little inconspicuous among all the Sword Domains.

After all, everyone knew that the Fierce Star Sword Domain was the most hopeless domain among all the others.

Such a widely recognized fact would undoubtedly affect the development of the entire Fierce Star Sword Domain.

However, for today, the Fierce Star Sword Domain was destined to not be deserted.

After all, out of the 36 Big Dipper Sword Domains’ Sword Masters, as many as 20 of them came.

The remaining Sword Masters were either not in the Spirit Sword Sect due to some matters, or they were still in secluded cultivation and could not come over.

The sword masters, who had come to the Fierce Star Sword Domain, were all here to see the Sword Master Challenge.

After all, this was a battle between an early-stage Apotheosis Stage cultivator and a peak-stage Apotheosis Stage cultivator.

The huge difference in strength had given the Sword Masters the mentality of watching a good show.

They had received news that this battle would definitely not disappoint them.

This cultivator called Lu Yuan seemed to have the strength to fight an entire level higher than his cultivation stage.

They were very curious as to how far Lu Yuan could go.

Would he really be able to defeat Song Zheng, who was at the peak of the Apotheosis Stage, with the strength of an early-stage Apotheosis Stage cultivator?

At the same time, Song Zheng had also arrived at the Sword Exchange Mountain in the Fierce Star Sword Domain.

The so-called Sword Exchange Mountain was actually a special martial arts arena.

Its purpose was to take on the challenge of a Sword Master like today.

The surroundings of the Sword Exchange Mountain were already filled with people.

The 20 Sword Masters of the other Sword Domains were the closest to the Sword Exchange Mountain.

Some of the Spirit Sword Sect elders with Apotheosis Stage cultivation were in the second echelon.

The remaining cultivators were in the third echelon.

Most people in the third echelon were the direct disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Xu Wan’er was in such a position.

Song Zheng felt the flow of people around him. He did not feel nervous because of the people. Instead, he seemed very calm.

Contrary to what others thought, Song Zheng actually did not care about his position as the Sword Master.

It was largely a coincidence that he became the Sword Master of the Fierce Star Sword Domain, originating from a childhood jest.

Song Zheng looked at the empty Sword Exchange Mountain with a blank look in his eyes.

At this moment, he no longer had the Sword Exchange Mountain in his eyes. Instead, he had returned to the small mountain village where he had held his sword for the first time.

“Master, why did you say that the way of the sword is the most powerful Dao in the world? Your sword clearly can’t even kill a chicken.”

“Cough cough…What do you mean by my sword can’t even kill a chicken? That’s not because there’s a problem with my way of the sword, but because there’s a problem with the sword.”

“Have you ever seen anyone kill a chicken with a wooden sword?”

“Little Zheng, I am not a swindler, who uses a wooden sword to swindle people all day long. In fact, my sword is very fierce!”

The six-year-old Song Zheng looked at the old Dao master who was holding a wooden sword and bragging seriously. He had a look of disbelief on his face.

“I’ve never seen your sword stained by blood before.” Song Zheng thought.

It wasn’t even stained by chicken blood.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he could eat his fill by following the old Daoist, Song Zheng wouldn’t have thought of learning sword arts from him.

What was the use of learning a way of the sword that couldn’t even kill a chicken?

This was the first time Song Zheng met his master when he was six years old.

An old master who only knew how to swindle without any practical benefits.

Even though he was not interested in his master’s so-called sword path…

Song Zheng did not expose this thought of his. He continued to seriously learn the way of the sword from the old master.

In the words of the old master, Song Zheng was born with a simple mind and a body that was suitable for wielding the sword. He was naturally a good material for learning the sword.

However, such a person needed a good teacher to guide him.

Otherwise, if he took the wrong path in the future, he might become a heartless person who only knew how to kill with a sword.

Therefore, in the first year of taking Song Zheng in, the old master did not teach him any sword techniques. Instead, he taught him the principles of being a human.

It was a principle known as the ‘Sword of Non-killing’.

When he was seven years old…

“My dear disciple, you must remember what 1 told you today. There are many sword techniques in the world, but no matter which one it is, the core purpose of each sword technique should not be to kill, but to cut off the confusion in one’s heart.”

“That’s why the sword I’m going to teach you isn’t to kill, but to save.”

“I hope that in the future, your sword will not only be able to cut off the confusion in others’ hearts but also cut off the confusion in your own heart. Only in this way can you walk further.”

Song Zheng, who was happily eating roast chicken, did not understand his master’s profound words. He only nodded obediently.

He did not know what the Sword of Non-Killing was. He only knew that after he learned his master’s sword, he would have countless roasted chickens to eat.

When he was ten years old…

Song Zheng, who had been learning the Sword of Non-Killing for a year, had already grasped a certain amount of sword force.

It was also during this year that Song Zheng reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

An eight-year-old Foundation Establishment Swordsman was definitely talented in the Upper Realm.

It had only been four years since he started cultivating.

However, in just four years, he had grown from nothing to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

It had to be said that the old master did have some ideas when it came to teaching cultivation.

It was also at this point that Song Zheng met the second most important person in his life..
