Chapter 6 The Great Dao Sword Heart
Chapter 6 The Great Dao Sword Heart
The next day, Yunfeng and Chen Luoluo arrived early at the little girl's villa and knocked on the door.
"Thump, thump, thump—!"
"Junior brother, wake up! We're here to teach you swordsmanship. Open the door!"
The little boy, fast asleep, was awakened by the sudden noise. His body glowed red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he exuded a fierce aura. He walked into the courtyard and began to curse, "Are you two crazy? It's only four o'clock! Why are you here so early? You're not sleeping, but I am! Don't you know I get up at seven? Don't you know I'm very grumpy in the morning? Are you really not afraid I'll chop you up? Go back to sleep now, and come back after seven. If you do it again, I won't consider our camaraderie." Without waiting for Chen Luoluo and Yun Feng's reaction, he went back to bed.
For Youyang, there are two things that cannot be disturbed. The first is sleep. If anyone wakes him up while he's sleeping, he will turn on them, no matter who it is, even if it's his closest person. The second is eating. If anyone disturbs him while he's enjoying his meal, he will throw his sword at that person without hesitation. These two points are his bottom line.
……
After seven o'clock, Chen Luoluo and Yun Feng arrived at the door of the baby's house right on time. The two waited quietly for the baby to wake up. As for why the two of them dared not disturb the baby again?
The reason was actually quite simple. When the little boy was cursing in the yard, the red spiritual energy on his body, mixed with resentment, formed a very powerful aura. Chen Luoluo sensed it and found that the cultivation level of this spiritual energy fluctuation was no less than that of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, which really frightened them, so they hurriedly retreated.
With the little boy's current cultivation level, he was naturally able to detect the two people arriving at the door. However, since he was still angry about being woken up, he decided to make them wait a little longer before letting them in.
The little boy picked up the spirit sword from yesterday and began to touch its smooth blade. Yesterday, he had read through a large number of classical books and finally found the phoenix-like mythical beast on the sword, named Golden Crow.
The book states that, according to legend, the Demon Emperor Di Jun, who first established the Demon Court in the Demon Realm, was a three-legged golden crow. Since the sword was originally a peach wood sword, he named it "Golden Flower".
The little boy pulled out the "Golden Flower" and ran excitedly to Yunfeng, coughing twice: "Ahem! My dearest senior brother, the time has come for you to fulfill your promise. It's time to teach me the Heaven-Slaying Technique."
Yun Feng calmly said, "You're thinking of jumping before you've even learned to walk? You haven't even learned the most basic sword moves yet, and you're already thinking about learning these advanced sword techniques. We need to start with the simplest things and build a solid foundation before I teach you the Heaven-Slaying Technique."
The little boy said arrogantly, "What's so great about learning these ordinary sword moves? I can learn them in a glance. The Heaven-Slaying Technique is much cooler."
Chen Luoluo chuckled from the side, "Junior brother, I've noticed that your bragging skills are getting better and better. It took my senior brother and me almost three years to learn all the basic sword moves. Only by mastering the basics can you build a solid foundation and climb higher and higher on the path of sword cultivation."
Yun Feng nodded in agreement, saying, "Luo Luo is right. As a sword cultivator, one must avoid being impatient and impetuous. Only by enduring hardship can one rise above others."
The little boy curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Senior Brother, can you stop talking like an old man? I think you're saying 'the more you suffer, the more miserable you become,' right? Enough said, show me a couple of difficult sword moves, and I'll replicate them for you in no time."
Yunfeng knew this kid was very unconvinced, so he picked up "Tianyan" and began to perform a rather difficult sword routine, his sword swings nimble and graceful. Combining strength and gentleness, his movements flowed like clouds and water; this sword routine, while highly difficult, also possessed an indescribable sense of beauty.
Chen Luoluo watched Yun Feng practice his swordplay, a smug look on her face as she looked at the little boy. Only she and Yun Feng knew that this sword technique was quite difficult even in the advanced version. Let alone this little boy who hadn't even mastered the basics.
The little boy watched intently, trying his best to remember every movement, afraid of missing a single one. He was so focused that he didn't fully come back to his senses even after Yun Feng finished his sword dance.
"Junior brother, junior brother..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Youyang withdrew his dazed look and responded to Yunfeng.
Seeing the little boy's stunned expression, Chen Luoluo couldn't help but tease him, "You weren't just standing there spacing out while Senior Brother was practicing his swordplay, were you?"
The little boy retorted, "I wasn't daydreaming. I was memorizing all of Senior Brother's sword movements just now, and I've memorized almost all of them."
"Oh?" Yunfeng was somewhat surprised. Although this prodigy could no longer be defined by common sense, he really couldn't believe that someone could memorize all the sword moves after only seeing them once. He questioned, "I don't believe it unless you demonstrate it for me."
"Okay, I'll give it a try," the little boy nodded.
The little boy held the "Golden Flower," closed his eyes, and began to recall the sword moves Yunfeng had performed. He quickly entered a meditative state, and a bright red light suddenly shone around him. He poured his spiritual power into the spirit sword, and in a trance, it seemed as if a phoenix's cry was uttered.
Upon opening his eyes, a golden light shone in them, and he began to perform the sword techniques that Yun Feng had just used.
Each time she drew her sword, her posture was exactly the same as the former's, and her control of the sword was just right, with a softness that revealed a great deal of strength. Compared to the former, her sword dance seemed even more graceful.
Gradually, he reached a state of complete absorption, and a strong golden pillar of light rose behind him. His skill level was so high that it didn't seem like he was dancing with a sword for the first time. His sword dance contained an overwhelming power.
Unsurprisingly, the two astonished individuals stared in disbelief, Chen Luoluo stammering, "This...this is...sword intent?!"
Yun Feng was too excited to speak. He had never been so excited in his life. What was sword intent? As sword cultivators for over a decade, they knew it all too well. Without at least 30 years of cultivation, it was absolutely impossible to comprehend sword intent—something every sword cultivator dreamed of. Moreover, the little boy's sword intent was so overwhelming. What did that mean?
"Born with a sword heart!" The two exclaimed almost simultaneously. As the little boy's sword-wielding movements became more and more skillful, the huge pillar of light behind him became more and more solid, forming a golden giant sword.
"This is the Great Dao Sword Heart!" A man who was flying on his sword exclaimed in surprise. The voice was not Yun Feng's, nor could it be that of a child. Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Xia Lang, the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor. The two men immediately bowed to Xia Lang and said, "Master."
Xia Lang waved his sleeve, indicating that the two did not need to be so polite. He looked at the little boy and said, "Such a strong sword intent can be felt by any sword cultivator. I rushed here when the sword intent first appeared, but I did not expect to find it in my own sect. This little guy is really bringing us more and more surprises. After a hundred years, my Ten Thousand Swords Manor is finally going to produce another top genius."
Innate sword heart also has different talent levels, divided into: Great Dao Sword Heart, Heavenly Dao Sword Heart, Immortal Body Sword Heart, Innate Sword Heart, and Mortal Body Sword Heart, from highest to lowest. The little child's innate sword heart is the highest talent among sword hearts, the Great Dao Sword Heart.
Yunfeng told Xia Lang everything that had happened with the little baby, from Chen Luoluo breaking through a major realm to the little baby's innate talent for sword heart, he reported everything truthfully.
"What? Born with the bloodline of the Exquisite Talent?" Xia Lang was increasingly shocked as he listened. The little boy's talent was so outrageous that it was astonishing. He had never heard of such a genius before.
Yun Feng nodded and replied, "Luo Luo and I have already investigated. This little guy has all the characteristics of the Linglong Precious Blood described in the book. It's confirmed."
Xia Lang burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Heaven blesses my Ten Thousand Swords Manor with the emergence of a divine child, and heaven blesses my human race to regain its ancient glory."
At this moment, Xia Lang had already determined that the little child was a descendant of the exquisite blood god child from the ancient times.
He felt that the appearance of the little baby was a preordained event, meant to save humanity from its dire straits and lead it back to its ancient glory.
With the final swing of the little boy's sword, his sword intent had reached its peak. A peach orchard in front of the mountain was cleaved down by his sword energy.
Xia Lang clapped and cheered, and Chen Luoluo also praised him from the side, but Yun Feng looked a little unhappy.
His feelings at this moment were a mixture of joy and sorrow. He was joyful because his junior brother's swordsmanship talent was extraordinary, and he had also witnessed the Great Dao Sword Heart, which would greatly help his future sword cultivation.
The sadness stemmed from a deep sense of defeat. He had spent over ten years diligently cultivating his swordsmanship, only to be easily surpassed by this one-year-old child he had only known for less than an hour. He was truly unwilling to accept it.
He wondered, what use is hard work when faced with absolute talent? He couldn't help but sigh, "Ten years of sword practice is not as good as someone else's one day of sword dancing. It's truly pathetic."
Xia Lang comforted him, "Yunfeng, don't feel sad. He's just an ordinary sword cultivator. Even I, who have been practicing swordsmanship for over twenty years, may not have a stronger sword intent than him. In other words, I'm not qualified to be his teacher. He's an unparalleled talent, incomparable to ordinary people like us. This is normal, so you don't need to be sad."
Yunfeng nodded, agreeing with the logic, and stopped feeling upset.
The little boy put away the "golden flower" and walked towards them. Upon seeing Xia Lang, he quickly greeted him, "Uncle Xia, what brings you here?"
Xia Lang smiled kindly and said, "If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have cut down all the big trees in front of this mountain?"
The little boy looked at the peach trees in front of the mountain that had fallen down, leaving them riddled with holes, and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Xia Lang praised the little boy, saying, "I never expected that a sword master destined to stand at the top of the world would be in our sect. You little rascal, you've given me such a wonderful surprise today."
The little boy said playfully, "Don't worry! When I become successful in the future, I will never forget Wanjian Manor. But for now, I still need to learn more sword techniques. I'm still too weak. Even though I feel that I have a very thorough understanding of sword intent, I still need to learn some sword skills to increase my strength, such as our sect's unique 'Heaven-Slaying Technique'."
Xia Lang laughed loudly, "Very well, I grant your request. From today onwards, you may freely enter and leave the Sword Scripture Pavilion within the sect and borrow books. You will not need to obtain approval from anyone. Are you satisfied with this?" With that, Xia Lang tossed the little boy a dark gold token, which was clearly a permit to freely enter and leave the Sword Scripture Pavilion.
The little child was overjoyed after receiving the token: "Thank you, Uncle Xia!"
It should be noted that only those who have made certain contributions to the sect can have the opportunity to enter the Sword Scripture Pavilion. With the little boy's talent, no one in the entire sect is qualified to teach him. Xia Lang's approach is undoubtedly the greatest help to the little boy's cultivation.
Xia Lang said, "You possess the Great Dao Sword Heart. No one in our sect has a stronger understanding of the sword path than you, not even me. So, you can cultivate on your own for the remaining three months."
"yes!"
