247: Chapter 99: Life and Cultivation rge into One Sword_1 247: Chapter 99: Life and Cultivation rge into One Sword_1 The art of the flying sword where life and swordsmanship intersect with a single blade.
The sword exists as does the man, but when the sword breaks, the man dies.
It is an ancient cultivation path rarely seen nowadays, inherently possessing astonishing killing power.
However, due to its rugged journey and the difficulty in obtaining the great Dao, it has gradually declined in the supernatural world.
The decline of the art of the flying sword does not an it isn’t powerful.
In fact, in the cultivation world where the Hundred Schools of Thought vie for supremacy, new thods and innovations in cultivation are born every day.
History itself is a process of survival of the fittest.
The pure art of the flying sword is too extre, yet it has never been truly abandoned by the cultivation world.
For example, the Daoist Sect’s Sword Dao Technique is developed based on the art of the flying sword.
While retaining most of the killing power of the flying sword art, it integrates the versatility of Dao Techniques, reducing the “instrunt’s” influence over “life”.
Nevertheless, even now, with many more universally recognized cultivation options available, there are still adherents to the pure art of the flying sword.
Just like the ancient path followed by Soldier Ho cultivating Energizing Blood and Stamina Pulse.
Most modern Soldier Ho cultivators have adapted to the common cultivation paths of the contemporary cultivation world, differing only in their cultivation philosophy and so details.
Such cultivators are safer and stand a better chance of growing stronger.
This change is also an important reason why Soldier Ho has beco one of the prominent streams in the current era.
But there are still those who cling to the old ways of Soldier Ho, taking the perilous path of Energizing Blood and Stamina Pulse, like Du Yehu.
These traditionalists may be considered stubborn or conservative, but also as torchbearers of an ancient era, sustaining the light of a possibly vanished age with their feeble strength.
They themselves do not care,
For there are myriad paths in cultivation, and they have simply chosen the one they wish to follow, nothing more.
“I’ve struck gold,”
thought Jiang Wang.
A cultivator of the pure art of the flying sword, regardless of the future, currently possesses a killing power far surpassing that of Zhang Hai.
If such a talent truly commits allegiance, then it’s truly a treasure worth more than its weight.
…
Among all the won Jiang Wang had ever t, Ye Qingyu and Zhu Bijing were the two most well-protected.
Neither had experienced much of the storms of life, and their awareness of the world’s cruelty was vague.
The difference is that Ye Qingyu’s father is far stronger than Zhu Bijing’s elder sister.
Thus, he could treat Yun Country and its surroundings as a backyard garden, allowing his daughter to wander as she pleases, rely gifting her a few life-saving treasures.
Those blind to his strength couldn’t hurt her, and those who could see wouldn’t dare to offend him.
As a result, Ye Qingyu’s vision is higher, her perspective broader, and her actions more generous, only lacking experience between life and death.
But this is not a problem for the Lingxiao Pavilion Master.
Tailoring a corresponding experience for her is not a difficult task.
From previous communication with Ye Qingyu, it seems that the Pavilion Master is already addressing this issue.
But Zhu Suyao, despite her best efforts, could only protect a small territory, only managing to shield her sister from much of the world.
This has left Zhu Bijing sowhat naïve, as pure as a blank slate.
Fortunate for Zhu Bijing, the support of the Diao Hai Building allowed her to grow to where she is today.
However, a sect is not a charity hospice, and internal competition is fierce.
Zhu Bijing, being a Transcendent cultivator, needs more than just the basic support of life provided by a charity hospice.
For Jiang Wang, after Zhu Suyao was hindered by the Heaven and Earth Gate, the reason for her drastic change in temperant could partly be attributed to Hu Shaong’s heartlessness, but perhaps also to the increasing feeling of powerlessness in protecting her sister, leading to despair about the future.
All of this culminated in her journey to the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.
After Zhu Suyao’s death, with Zhu Bijing’s simplicity, life within the Diao Hai Building must not have been easy.
It’s hard to say whether this type of protection is right or wrong, at least for Jiang Wang.
If possible, he too would choose to shield Jiang Anan from the world’s darkness all her life.
But he could not do it.
Zhu Bijing is packing a bundle and about to leave; when she initially sneaked out of the sect, she was all alone and brought nothing with her.
But having lived with Xiao Xiao for a while, she gradually accumulated so trinkets.
Such things like small embroidered pouches and hairbands, Xiao Xiao even sewed her a green jacket because she heard that Zhu Bijing lived by the sea and thought that living so close to so much water, one must feel very cold.
“Actually, it’s quite hot by the sea,” Jiang Wang said.
He was sowhat exasperated.
It was understandable that Dugu Xiao, having never traveled far, didn’t know what the coast was like.
But what about Zhu Bijing?
Although cultivators do not fear cold or heat, wouldn’t wearing a green jacket alone in a crowd of people in light clothing be too conspicuous?
“Ah,” Xiao Xiao was a little surprised and embarrassed.
She took Jiang Wang’s word without doubt.
“What does it matter if it’s hot or cold?” Zhu Bijing said carelessly, “As long as it looks good, that’s enough!”
She absolutely adored the little green jacket.
It was beautiful in style and finely made.
Nobody could deny Xiao Xiao’s talent for tailoring.
“This is for you!” Zhu Bijing took out the fortune and misfortune ball and handed it to Jiang Wang, “This is the only valuable thing I have on .”
Jiang Wang did not accept it, “Why give it to ?”
“You avenged .
I owe you a big favor.
Of course, one fortune and misfortune ball isn’t enough, but I’ll think of a way to make it up to you in the future.” She winked, “I, Zhu Bijing, always keep my word.”
At that mont, Xiao Xiao peeked at her and weakly said, “Sister Zhu…
you promised to teach martial arts.”
Zhu Bijing: “…”
Faced with Xiao Xiao’s innocent and eager gaze, she truly couldn’t utter a “no.”
“How about…
I stay another month?” she asked.
Jiang Wang glanced at Xiao Xiao with satisfaction.
This maid was indeed very sensible and easy to take care of.
She imdiately understood that he wanted Zhu Bijing to stay, and at once found an opportunity to help persuade her.
Zhu Bijing felt sympathy and pity for Xiao Xiao, treating her like a younger sister.
But Xiao Xiao was not as naïve and simple as Zhu Bijing thought.
Ever since the first ti she was sold by her parents, Xiao Xiao could no longer be a child.
Not to ntion all that she had gone through since then.
Since following Jiang Wang, she had been constantly trying to prove her value, but it was only now that she found the right way.
Of course, the reason he wanted Zhu Bijing to stay was not because he had any thoughts about her; he simply lacked manpower, and having an additional source of strength was beneficial.
Zhu Bijing was skilled in illusion techniques, which could be useful in many situations.
Jiang Wang said to Zhu Bijing, “The fortune and misfortune ball is sothing your sister left for you, I cannot take it.
In my view, killing Hu Shaong was fulfilling my promise to you, and we owe each other nothing.
You need not feel indebted to .”
“If you must do sothing to feel at ease…
it’s simple, I’m currently very short-staffed, so you can stay and help with work for half a year.
I will pay you double the wage that I offered Zhang Hai and Xiang Qian, and after half a year, we’ll be even.”
Upon ntion of her sister, Zhu Bijing indeed felt unable to let go of the fortune and misfortune ball.
Her path had always been well arranged by her sister.
Returning to Diao Hai Building now, she actually felt quite lost.
“Zhu Bijing, you need to grow up,” she told herself in her heart.
She looked up at Jiang Wang and with the obstinacy unique to a young girl, she promised, “Okay.”
…
Jiang Wang was never soone with his head in the clouds.
He believed in reaping as one sows.
The Hu Clan Mine Site and even Qingyang Town were his first fields to tend.
After removing pests, he then hired farrs.
He tried to sow seeds here, wanting to see what the harvest would be like in the coming autumn.
