The rest of the disciples had left the main hall.

Su Changyu was left there alone.

“Changyu, in the next few days, I will go down to the mountain to see if I can borrow some Spirit Stones. Take care of the matters regarding Ye Ping. No matter what, follow the original plan. You must not make any mistakes, understand?”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

“I understand but 200 taels of gold is... a little too much. Master, can you think of a solution?”

Su Changyu was a little worried.

They had finally welcomed a genius to the sect, and yet, they encountered such an issue.

“I should be able to come up with a solution. In any case, you don’t have to worry. Even if I’m tired, it doesn’t matter. Most importantly, you have to keep your Junior Brother around and teach him well.”

Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.

After learning that Ye Ping was a genius, Daoist Tai Hua did not want Su Changyu to lead him astray. Hence, he said that.

“Okay, Master, don’t worry. You can rest assured with me around.”

Su Changyu immediately nodded.

He thought about it all night yesterday and felt that Daoist Tai Hua was right. After getting over it, he no longer felt burdened.

Soon, Su Changyu left the hall.

He walked towards the cliff at the back.

On the cliff, Ye Ping was still comprehending the sword mark.

After learning that he was talented in the Sword Dao, Ye Ping worked even harder. If not for the fact that his body couldn’t withstand it, he would devote all 24 hours of his day comprehending the sword mark.

However, diligence always pays off.

There were a total of 1,460 sword moves in the Four Thunder Sword Techniques.

Ye Ping had already comprehended 720 moves.

Besides, he was getting faster and faster at comprehension and gaining epiphanies. He was confident that he would be able to reach the peak of comprehension of the Four Thunder Sword Techniques.

At this moment, Su Changyu arrived.

“Little Junior Brother.”

Su Changyu appeared, but his expression was still as arrogant as ever. He wasn’t deliberately behaving that way in front of Ye Ping, but rather, he couldn’t bring himself to smile at all. He felt pressurised when facing Ye Ping now.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Seeing that Su Changyu had arrived, Ye Ping frantically stood up to bow at him.

“Junior Brother, you don’t have to be so polite. You and I may not be related by blood, but since we’ve joined the same sect, we are naturally close like brothers. You can save the formalities.”

Su Changyu hurriedly told Ye Ping not to bow to him because he couldn’t take it.

“Senior Brother, you must be joking. Etiquette is the basic essence of being human. I have to adhere to it.”

Ye Ping refused to skip the formalities. As the saying goes, you can never be too polite.

When he was in the world of literature, he would praise and bow to everyone he met, which was how he gained the favor of many.

Su Changyu didn’t dwell on the details and instead subconsciously asked, “Little Junior Brother, how many sword moves did you have an epiphany of today?”

He asked.

At the mention of the sword moves, Ye Ping felt a little embarrassed.

“Since yesterday, I’ve only comprehended to the 720th move.”

Ye Ping answered seriously.

Su Changyu was speechless.

‘Only 720th move?’

‘I’m salty.’

Su Changyu felt terrible and he really didn’t know how to answer.

However, after thinking about it, Su Changyu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and decided to continue with the act. Since he had already acted for so many days, there was nothing to be embarrassed about even if he was exposed.

At the thought of this, Su Changyu shook his head.

“You lack some intensity.”

Su Changyu said.

Indeed, after he said that, Ye Ping looked slightly dejected but he soon asked another question.

“Senior Brother, how many sword moves must I comprehend to make the cut? What is the name of this set of sword techniques that I’m comprehending?”

He couldn’t figure out how many moves would be considered satisfactory.

Besides, Su Changyu was good at explaining and breaking things down.

“Little Junior Brother, listen carefully.”

“The set of sword techniques you’re comprehending is called the Four Thunder Sword Techniques which contain four different types of sword techniques, namely the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship, Summer Thunder Swordsmanship, Autumn Thunder Swordsmanship, and Winter Thunder Swordsmanship.”

“There are a total of 1460 sword moves in this set of sword techniques. If you can comprehend all of them, you would be considered to have reached the Peak realm.”

“The comprehension of sword techniques is divided into four realms, namely the Beginner, Perfection, Greater Mastery, and Peak realms.”

Su Changyu paused.

He continued, “However, when you arrive at the Peak realm, it is only the beginning. At the peak, you have to condense your own sword momentum, and after the epiphany of the sword momentum comes the sword intent.”

“A true Sword Dao powerhouse must be able to condense the sword momentum and sword intent. Only then can you fuse with your essence and be called a Sword Dao practitioner, do you understand?”

Su Changyu explained everything to him in detail.

In a moment, Ye Ping was suddenly enlightened.

“Oh I see.”

After understanding it, Ye Ping asked a question that made Su Changyu very embarrassed.

“Senior Brother, which realm have you reached now?”

Ye Ping asked.

It was an awkward question.

Su Changyu was a little unsure of how he should answer.

‘Will you believe me if I tell you that I’m only at the Beginner realm?’

After thinking about it, Su Changyu took a deep breath, and then stood with his hands behind his back. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

“I’m not talented and I’ve only reached the first level of the legendary Supreme Sword Dao, the realm of infinite sword intent.”

Su Changyu dared not make it too clear so he started making things up.

“Infinite sword intent?”

Ye Ping was suddenly shocked.

He did not understand what infinite sword intent meant.

However, it sounded impressive.

Sword move, followed by sword momentum, and finally, sword intent.

‘It’s hard to condense just one sword intent. Infinite sword intent? How does that work?’

“Yes, infinite sword intent. When you reach the peak, there will be a Supreme realm which is further divided into three levels. The first level is infinite sword intent, which, as the name implies, is to have countless sword intents.”

“If you step into this realm, you will be the best in the ten nations.”

Su Changyu said.

He didn’t make that up because that was indeed the highest level of the Sword Dao.

However, no one in the entire Qingzhou could achieve that. The same goes for Jin Nation. However, there was one person in the ten nations who had half-stepped into the realm of infinite sword intent. He was the Sword Sage Tai Xu who was the first Sword Dao powerhouse of the ten nations. However, he was only halfway there and was still far from reaching the level of infinite sword intent.

As Su Changyu said that, Ye Ping felt even more excited.

‘Infinite sword intent?’

‘That sounds impressive.’

‘Eldest Senior Brother reached that realm a few years ago. Maybe, I can reach that realm in my lifetime too.’

‘Wouldn’t I be the second in the ten nations then? After all, there’s Eldest Senior Brother.’

Thinking about it, Ye Ping became more and more excited.

Frankly speaking, he felt that being second in the ten nations was quite a stretch and he would be satisfied enough with being the first in Qingzhou. Besides, being second wasn’t too bad either. After all, if the sky falls down, the first person would shoulder the burden.

“I understand. Senior Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best to catch up with you. Within my lifetime, I will definitely reach the level of infinite sword intent.”

Ye Ping said excitedly.

Su Changyu felt upset.

He was sour.

However, Su Changyu felt slightly better when he thought about the fact that he was Ye Ping’s first mentor who inspired him.

“Little Junior Brother, continue comprehending the sword mark here. I’ll be accompanying you for the next few days so that you don’t make any mistakes.”

Su Changyu said.

“Thank you for your guidance. Once I succeed, I won’t forget your kindness.”

Ye Ping said gratefully.
