The Green-Robed Sword Saint took a deep breath, his expression becoming much more solemn. He slowly stood up, solemnly cupped his hands in the direction of Chu Yang, and said loudly:
"The King of Chu's swordsmanship is truly admirable! I, in my blue robe, am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"
"I have some questions about swordsmanship. I wonder if I could spare Your Majesty a little of your time to come and discuss them with you so that you can clear up my doubts?"
If the Green-Robed Sword Saint had previously shown his recognition and respect for Chu Yang, now he was utterly impressed!
This left countless powerful figures in the Sword Domain dumbfounded, some even feeling as if they were dreaming.
What did they hear?
The Green-Robed Sword Saint actually admitted that he was inferior to Chu Yang in swordsmanship?
This was almost as shocking to everyone as the sudden surrender of the extraterrestrial evil race!
At the edge of the sword domain, Chu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, not in a hurry to answer the Green-Robed Sword Saint's words, but still looking up at the sky.
He has now returned a corner of the world, but the sky remains gray, a sign of the world's will expressing its dissatisfaction.
White light swirled around him, and the [Heavenly Palace] appeared in his hand, emitting a series of ringing sounds. Chu Yang remained expressionless, seemingly confronting the will of the world.
After a long while, as if after some deliberation, the world's will finally chose to compromise, and the terrifying pressure slowly dissipated, allowing everyone in the Sword Domain to breathe a sigh of relief.
Chu Yang smiled slightly, and the [Heavenly Palace] in his hand turned into white light and dissipated before responding to the depths of the sword domain:
"Senior, please don't flatter me. I was only able to beat you by half a move because of a trick."
"But since you have invited me, senior, I certainly wouldn't dare to refuse!"
Compared to the "straightforwardness" of the Green-Robed Sword Saint, Chu Yang at this moment is the one who fully demonstrates his understanding of human relationships.
Since they've given me face and helped me build momentum, I can't just take advantage and then complain... (End of Chapter)
Chapter 434 The Compromise of the World's Will! Purgatory Space and Heavenly Sword Continent!
Deep within the Sword Domain lies Azure Cloud Peak.
This is the most central place in the entire Sword Domain, because the Green-Robed Sword Saint has lived here for a long time.
Most of the time, he would sit cross-legged on the mountaintop, contemplating the essence of swordsmanship.
However, at this moment, the Green-Robed Sword Saint was sitting in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain. This was his residence. In front of the courtyard was a waterfall, the sound of the water was like thunder, but it was also faintly mixed with the sound of swords.
There was only a thatched hut, a stone table and benches in the courtyard. The flowers and plants in the flowerbed were trimmed very neatly, which also gave people a sense of inner sword intent.
Sitting opposite the Green-Robed Sword Saint, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
No wonder the Green-Robed Sword Saint's swordsmanship is so advanced; this guy completely regards the "sword" as everything in his life.
The purer a person is, the more likely they are to reach a certain level of excellence.
Chu Yang withdrew his gaze from the surroundings, looked at the figure in green robes before him, and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your help, Senior Sword Saint!"
The Green-Robed Sword Saint shook his head and smiled, "I heard from the Immortal Elder that the King of Chu is a genius, even more so than the Immortal Emperor, and is the hope of our Great Thousand Demon Slayer."
"I still had some doubts, so the previous sparring and the decision not to stay behind were also partly a test."
"But now it seems that the Immortal Elder was indeed insightful. Not only does the King of Chu possess extraordinary talent, but his efforts are also truly admirable."
The Green-Robed Sword Saint's idea was simple: in his view, as long as one had enough talent, it was not difficult to achieve something in the way of the sword.
However, if one wants to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship, innate talent alone is far from enough; one must also put in unimaginable sweat and effort.
He himself was once hailed as an unprecedented sword genius, but even so, in order to simplify the complex and comprehend the sword intent, he spent ten years repeating only simple sword-swinging movements every day.
He had long since lost count of how many times he had repeated the same action.
Therefore, in his view, Chu Yang's achievements in swordsmanship are absolutely inseparable from the efforts he has made.
Chu Yang simply smiled and remained silent in response.
The theories and ideas of the Green-Robed Sword Saint cannot be used to measure this "outlier".
With a soul palace, the talents and comprehensions of each of their different worlds are superimposed, making them completely unpredictable by common sense.
Take insights and suggestions as an example. The Green-Robed Sword Saint needs to swing his sword countless times, but Chu Yang might only need a few hundred, or even a few dozen.
"The reason I invited the King of Chu here is that there are some things I don't understand during our previous discussion on swordsmanship, and I hope the King of Chu can enlighten me!"
The Green-Robed Sword Saint was extremely polite to Chu Yang at this moment, even adopting the posture of a student.
His idea was simple: there is no order of precedence in learning, and those who are accomplished are teachers!
He regarded the sword as everything in his life, so in his opinion, since Chu Yang's swordsmanship was superior to his own, it was not shameful for him to humbly learn from him.
Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the attitude of the Green-Robed Sword Saint.
However, he still explained, "Presumably, you sensed the power of the world's will, but it wasn't actually my sword strike that attracted the world's will..."
Chu Yang paused, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does Senior know about the Sky Ranking?"
The Green-Robed Sword Saint's expression turned solemn, and he nodded, saying, "Of course I know. The Sky Ranking is a manifestation of the will of the Great Thousand Worlds. Only those who have reached a realm above the Saint Rank can attract the Sky Ranking and attempt to leave their name on it."
"Throughout history, only the Immortal Emperor has left his name on the Heavenly Ranking. Although he has not been able to fully enter that new realm, he has transcended the Saint rank."
As he spoke, the Green-Robed Sword Saint's face revealed a look of longing and admiration, but his eyes were unwavering, clearly confident that he would reach that level sooner or later.
A swordsman must certainly experience the process of returning to simplicity and concealing one's sharpness, but this does not mean that one should lose confidence and sharpness.
Without confidence and sharpness, the sword in one's hand will also become dusty.
Chu Yang nodded, then continued, "In a sense, I tore off a piece from the Sky Ranking and turned it into the sword in my hand."
"That's why I said that I used a trick in the previous exchange."
The swordsman in green robes was suddenly stunned, momentarily lost in thought.
He never imagined that such a technique could exist in the realm of swordsmanship.
As someone hailed as the greatest swordsman of all time before Chu Yang's appearance, the Green-Robed Sword Saint naturally possessed exceptional comprehension, and he instantly understood the meaning behind Chu Yang's words.
The so-called tearing off a corner of the Heavenly Ranking is nothing more than borrowing a corner of the world, isn't it?
Forging a sword in a corner of the world?
The Green-Robed Sword Saint stared intently at Chu Yang, mentally assessing the young man...
madman!
If someone isn't insane, who could come up with such a method?
And isn't he afraid of divine retribution from the world's will?
After a long while, the Green-Robed Sword Saint slowly calmed his emotions, shook his head and said, "Forging a sword with the power of the world, isn't that also an understanding of the way of the sword?"
"The King of Chu did not resort to trickery; the man in blue robes lost fair and square!"
"It seems there is hope for our Great Thousand Realms to vanquish demons..."
For the next three days, the two sat at the stone table, drinking tea and discussing swordsmanship.
However, most of the time, it was the Green-Robed Sword Saint who asked the questions, and Chu Yang who answered them based on his own understanding.
In this process, Chu Yang also benefited greatly, because he discovered that the Green-Robed Sword Saint's understanding of the sword was quite different from that of the Xianxia and Wuxia worlds, and had many unique aspects.
Learning from others' experiences can help Chu Yang further improve his swordsmanship and also give him more ideas about the Ultimate Sword Technique.
On the other hand, the Green-Robed Sword Saint seemed to have undergone a profound awakening during these three days.
Since Chu Yang had gained some insights from the Green-Robed Sword Saint who spared no effort to curry favor with him and was willing to humbly seek his guidance, he naturally wouldn't hold back.
Thus, under the baptism of swordsmanship in the world of immortals and martial arts, the Green-Robed Sword Saint overturned many of his previous understandings of swordsmanship and became clearer about his future direction.
In short, the Green-Robed Sword Saint was groping his way across the river in the past. Although his swordsmanship was highly skilled, he had gone astray to some extent.
Now, with Chu Yang's help, the Green-Robed Sword Saint has steered his path back on track.
At the same time, he also gained a lot of understanding of swordsmanship from Chu Yang. Once he has fully digested all of this understanding, his swordsmanship skills will surely reach a new level.
Chu Yang had a vague feeling that perhaps in the near future, this Green-Robed Sword Saint would get ahead of Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, and even the chosen one Mu Chen, and leave his name on the Sky Ranking first.
As Chu Yang was leaving Qingyun Peak, he suddenly felt something, looked up at the sky, and a half-smile appeared on his face.
Ever since that day when I borrowed a corner of the world to forge a sword, I have always been able to feel the gaze of the world's will.
But just now, that gaze suddenly vanished.
He knew that this meant the world's will had completely compromised and tacitly approved Chu Yang's use of the world's power.
The reason for this is probably that Chu Yang imparted his understanding of swordsmanship to the Green-Robed Sword Saint without reservation.
On the surface, this was just Chu Yang repaying a favor to the Green-Robed Sword Saint, and it might even lead to the emergence of a powerhouse surpassing the Saint rank in the future Great Thousand Worlds.
However, if we look further ahead, Chu Yang's understanding of swordsmanship will be passed down through the Green-Robed Sword Saint.
Unlike "anomalies" like Chu Yang and Sun Wukong, if someone in the Great Thousand World reaches the Sovereign Realm, or even surpasses the Sovereign Realm...
Having power comparable to, or even stronger than, the World's Will is entirely beneficial to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Because they carry the fortune of the Great Thousand Worlds, they coexist with the Great Thousand Worlds.
Therefore, Chu Yang's complete sharing of his knowledge was of immense benefit to the Great Thousand World, which led the world's will to completely compromise and reach a tacit understanding with him.
From then on, Chu Yang no longer needed to worry about using the power of the world to forge a sword, nor would he incur the rejection of the world's will.
