Chapter 77: I Should Not Have A Sweetheart!

Chu Xuan looked pleased and said, “Disciple, I am very pleased that you possess such firm resolve.”

“The three stages of the way of the sword are also three stages of the heartof the Sword Dao. Sever your emotional ties, forget your sweetheart; when looking at beautiful women, do not let your mind; and finally, having no woman in your heart.”

“This is the secret way of the sword. Those who are not strong-willed or lack a firm Dao heart will not be able to complete the three stages of the way of the sword.”

“There are countless ordinary sword cultivators. Very few have broken through the first stage. Naturally, these ordinary sword cultivators will not be able to tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword.”

Su Xian’er suddenly thought of something and said, “That’s not right, Sir. I recall that a certain Heartless Sword Technique exists in the world. Those who cultivate the Heartless Sword Technique possess no feelings in their hearts. Naturally, there will be no women in their hearts.”

Chu Xuan glanced at her. This girl was deliberately causing trouble, right?

Ding Yue looked at Chu Xuan. It made sense. Since there was a Heartless Sword Technique in the world, could those who cultivated it be considered as having tread upon the path of the Supreme Sword?

Chu Xuan sneered and said, “The Heartless Sword Technique is something that only cowards cultivate. It’s a deformed sword technique, a technique that the Great Dao doesn’t acknowledge.”

“The three stages of the Supreme Sword are directed toward the Great Dao. How can the Heartless Sword Technique be compared to it?”

“What does it mean to be heartless? To forget feelings, to be neither happy, sad or angry? If you lack emotions, are you still human?”

Chu Xuan looked at Su Xian’er and asked, “Let me ask you, will those who cultivate the Heartless Sword Technique be angry when they are surrounded and killed by others? Will they be moved by treasures when they see them? Will they draw their swords out in anger when they are humiliated?”

Su Xian’er was stunned for a moment and replied, “Yes.”

“They feel happiness, anger, and are moved by treasures. How can they be called heartless then? What’s heartless is just their feelings. They are a bunch of cowards who don’t dare to face the suffering in their hearts who created the Heartless Sword Techniqueto deceive themselves and others!”

Chu Xuan said with extreme disdain.

Su Xian’er was stunned. His words seemed to make sense.

“Disciple, don’t learn from those cowards and disgrace me,” Chu Xuan said earnestly.

“Yes, Master, I understand.”

Ding Yue nodded and paused for a moment, and then said, “Master, actually, the three stages of the way of the sword contain the truth of the Great Dao, especially the stage where there is no woman in your heart. Does it actually mean that one’s heart is still like water, and that nothing can cause your heart, or the sword that it contains, to be swayed?”

“Has this disciple comprehended it correctly?”

The corners of Chu Xuan’s mouth twitched.

“You really are talented. You have comprehended it correctly.”

“I am pleased that I have such a perceptive disciple.”

Chu Xuan nodded and exhorted, “You must remember that having a woman will affect the speed at which you draw your sword!”

“Yes, Master!” Ding Yue’s face was solemn.

“Master will teach you the way of the sword now.”

Chu Xuan raised his finger and pointed. The first part of the Heaven-reaching Sword Technique was transmitted into Ding Yue’s mind.

Ding Yue still had to break through the three stages of the way of the sword, so he divided the Heaven-reaching Sword Technique into three parts to be taught.

Moreover, by the time Ding Yue finished cultivating the first part, Chu Xuan would probably be in the Heaven realm.

Ding Yue was immersed in the comprehension of the way of the sword. The Heaven’s Will Sword Pulse was activated and the aura around his body pulsated fiercely.

It was like a sharp sword unsheathed.

Ten minutes later, Ding Yue opened his eyes.

He kowtowed three times respectfully and said, “Thank you, Master, for imparting this technique!”

“Go and cultivate,” Chu Xuan waved his hand and said.

“Yes, Master!”

Ding Yue stood up, his expression was firm and his gaze sharp.

Returning to the universe space, he sat cross-legged in front of the divine sword.

The aura on his body became more and more ethereal and resonated with the divine sword. The divine sword trembled slightly and let out a slight hum.

Ding Yue’s aura then became more restrained, like an ordinary sword that was stabbed into the ground.

“Forget my sweetheart! Forget my sweetheart!”

Ding Yue kept telling himself that he had to forget his sweetheart and break through the first stage of the way of the sword.

The way of the sword that his master had imparted to him was incomparably powerful; far beyond what Nine Swords Mountain was capable of.

He would not let down his master’s high hopes!

Ding Yue kept recalling the past, when he and his childhood sweetheart had been together. From their time as happy children, to finally being despised, neglected, alienated, ridiculed and humiliated by the latter.

“You’re just a piece of trash. You’re not worthy of me!”

“Ding Yue, although we grew up together, I was young and ignorant back then. Now that I’ve grown up, I’m not blind. It’s impossible for us to be together. Cease your wishful thinking!”

“You were just passing by? Who are you trying to kid? You’re here to harass me, right? Or perhaps to disgust me?”

“Ding Yue, for the sake of our past friendship, can you please get lost?”

He had also let go and stopped looking for that person back then. However, he would always stumble across that person occasionally. Every time he did, he would be humiliated and spurned.

Ding Yue kept recalling his past experiences and hypnotizing himself. That person was not worth his time or affection.

Master was right. The person he loved would only bring him harm!

“Forget the person I love. I, Ding Yue, can do it. Since she is already heartless, why should I keep thinking about her?”

Ding Yue sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He strengthened his resolve over and over again to forget that person.

The best way to hate someone was to constantly recall the bad side of her and the harm that she had caused him.

Ding Yue did exactly that. He believed that as long as he stopped thinking about her and loathed her, he could forget her.

She would never become his sweetheart.

As he recalled the bits and pieces of his childhood sweetheart, Ding Yue sadly realized that he had always been the one who had given, and had never received anything in return.

She wanted all of the medicinal pills and the spirit crystals… thinking back carefully, she had never given him anything, not even a single worthless item.

“Master is right. I shouldn’t have a sweetheart!”

Su Xian’er looked at him curiously. She felt that something was wrong with Ding Yue.

Chu Xuan did not care how Ding Yue forgot his sweetheart. His goal had been achieved. His disciple would not become a simp.

He activated the Myriad Heavenly mirror and connected it to Ren Changhe.

“Greetings, Master!” Ren Changhe bowed respectfully.

“There’s no need to be so polite!”

Chu Xuan’s voice was vast and mighty, as if it came from the Great Dao itself.

Ren Changhe raised his head, and his soul was instantly shaken. He became even more respectful toward his master in his heart.

In his eyes, although his master did not reveal his imposing figure, bathed in divine light, there was an aura of the Great Dao that lingered around him.

The robe on his body seemed to be woven from the Great Dao itself.

“Hiss, just how strong is Master?!”

Ren Changhe was shocked.

How powerful was he to be able to weave the Great Dao into a robe?

“Are there still any parts that you are confused about?” Chu Xuan asked.

“Yes!”

Ren Changhe looked ashamed.

Until now, he still had not fully comprehended the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal.

“Tell me.”

Chu Xuan was speechless. More than once, he had wondered if Ren Changhe really was a top-notch Heaven’s blessed.

However, he was very famous. The name of the Celestial Master had shaken the nine zones and fifty regions. There was no way that he was an ordinary cultivator.

Why had he been unable to fully comprehend the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal this entire time?

Was the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal so mysterious to the point that even Heaven realm cultivators found it difficult to comprehend it?

Ren Changhe asked his question. After Chu Xuan explained it to him, he asked, “Does this realm have a thousand-year Heaven realm cultivator?”

“Yes.”

Ren Changhe did not know why Chu Xuan asked this question. Was it to motivate him?

Or did he want to find someone who was more talented than him to represent his martial inheritance in this world?
