Lu Qingshan could not conceal the excitent and anticipation in his heart as he proceeded to open the Taoist Scroll, and a page filled with neat, large characters ca into view.
"In this world, so people are born extraordinary.
Coming from a common rchant family, he began learning the sword at the age of four and by six, he had already distinguished himself.
Seeing his exceptional talent, his family summoned a famous teacher to instruct him, but within a hundred miles, not a single known Sword Master could last more than a month, all of whom taught him for less than half a month, finding nothing more to teach.
Thus, everyone heralded him as a true progeny of the Sword Dao.
Finally, at the age of ten, with no more teachers to turn to, he took nature as his master and developed his own Swordsmanship by observing the movents of a hundred beasts.
Three years later, making his first foray into the world, he wielded a three-foot wooden sword and challenged martial artists, winning a hundred battles without defeat and rising as the paragon among Martial World swordsn.
At eighteen, he challenged a generational martial arts grandmaster and with a single slash vanquished him, thereafter becoming invincible in the Martial World, without an equal.
In the vast Martial World, it's lonely at the top, seeking a worthy opponent in vain. He felt a sense of solitude but then heard of the existence of Cultivators and Sword Cultivators in the world.
Hence, he traveled thousands of miles to find the preeminent Sword Sect of the Southern Territory, the Taiyi Sword Sect, in an attempt to join their ranks.
But his Spirit Root failed to show, and being past the age limit for Foundation Establishnt, he ultimately was unable to gain entry.
'To hear the Dao in the morning is to die content in the evening.' Faced with the prestigious Sword Techniques of the ultimate Sword Cultivators but denied entry, he could not let go and challenged the Sword Sect Cultivators with the mundane Sword Skills of the Martial World.
It was supposed to be a laughable act, yet who could have predicted that one man with one sword, swift as lightning, would defeat three Qi Refinent cultivators and one Foundation Establishnt cultivator in succession.
This feat caused a sensation for a ti, and the newly advanced elder of the Taiyi Sword Sect, True Venerable Du Xiang, was amazed at his Sword Techniques born of nature and decided to give him a chance.
True Venerable Du Xiang brought him before the Sect's Sword Monunt, stating that if he could comprehend even half a Sword Technique within half a year, an exception would be made to accept him into the Sword Sect and convey the art of the Sword Cultivator to him.
He stood motionless before the Sword Monunt and after two days and nights, suddenly unleashed a sword strike. The Sword Technique held almost no power, yet the Sword Intent was fully displayed. Truly Venerable Du Xiang was astonished and revered him as Innate Sword Bone, taking him into the Taiyi Sword Sect.
After this Sword Technique was perfected by him when his Cultivation had matured, it was developed into a Secret Sword technique whose real na was unknown to everyone. Due to its shocking power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, it was temporarily nad the Heaven Suppressing Sword.
And this person is now one of the three great Sword Immortals of the Human Race, victorious in every battle, and revered as Li Qiubai."
On the first page of the Taoist Scroll was a detailed introduction to the background and origins of this Secret Sword.
Lu Qingshan continued to read.
On the second page were several lines of extrely sloppy but wildly spirited large characters.
"What nonsense is this Heaven Suppressing Sword, earning such a ridiculous na, it was just a casual slash I made, simple and rough.
It's only because it was the first sword strike I had ever made since embarking on the path of Cultivation, hence I did not forget it, and later perfected it, naming it Sword One.
Everyone calls a Sword Dao genius, which is completely baffling to , a bunch of nonsense—
Isn't Sword Dao supposed to be simple?
------------Li Qiubai."
…
So this was what the Sword Immortal himself had written? The so-called na 'Heaven Suppressing' was nothing but a hollow epithet given by others?
For a mont, Lu Qingshan was lost for words.
At the sa ti, the detailed explanation of the Secret Sword within the Taoist Scroll caught his eye, and a row of glowing small characters appeared before him.
