The monkeys on both sides of the river could not stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the ten thousand mountains.
Xu Tian stood on a reed and floated along the river without a clear direction.
Half a month later, he arrived at the Eastern Sea.
Looking at the vast and boundless sea, Xu Tian suddenly had some enlightenment.
Then, Xu Tian decided to stay in a small fishing village by the East China Sea.
。
In the end, he stayed there for a year.
This was also the fifth year since Xu Tian drew his sword.
At this point, Xu Tian had drawn his sword 30,000 times.
Although he had yet to break through to the Saint Realm, his attainments in the Way of the Sword had improved a lot.
Vaguely, he seemed to have half a foot out of the realm of Sword Heart, touching another nameless realm above Sword Heart.
As for the Nine Tribulations Sword, it had also completed the four components of the sword hilt, the sword guard, the sword tongue, and the sword tassel.
Although it still looked like the Shadowless Sword, its grade had reached the high-grade Heaven Realm!
This small fishing village was called Saimachong. The people here were simple and honest, and generations of people made a living by fishing.
Xu Tian had no intention of disturbing these fishermen or acting like a fool in front of them. Instead, he casually opened up a thatched cottage and lived alone.
rumble ~~
The sun rose from the east, and waves of monstrous waves swept over from the depths of the sea. Then, they gradually became smaller. When they reached the beach, they had already become circles of ripples.
Xu Tian sat cross-legged on a huge rock on the beach and looked ahead with narrowed eyes.
Then, he sighed.
"There's still a trace missing. What exactly is that trace?”
Shaking his head, Xu Tian prepared to return and draw his sword.
At this moment, his ears twitched. He turned his head to the side and greeted with a smile,"Old Gu, why are you here so early today?”
A bare-chested white-haired, muscular old man with a large iron sword on his shoulder walked toward the seaside.
He shook his head.”
This bare-chested white-haired burly old man was called Old Gu. He did not say his exact name, and Xu Tian did not ask either.
This old man was also Sai Machong, who had arrived almost a year ago.
Every day, he stood at the head of the tide and practiced his sword.
Xu Tian could not see through his cultivation.
It was unknown if it was because his cultivation was higher than Xu Tian's or if he had some technique to conceal his aura.
Under the effect of the Breath Holding Skill, Lao Gu was also unable to see through Xu Tian's cultivation.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not inquire about each other's identity and cultivation.
The two of them came here to cultivate and comprehend. Therefore, over time, the two of them became familiar and became a pair of old and young friends.
The two of them even exchanged swords frequently.
Old Gu had more experience in fighting than Xu Tian, and Xu Tian's attainments in Sword Dao were higher than Old Gu's.
Therefore, both of them had wins and losses.
However, as time passed, Xu Tian's experience in playing chess became richer and richer. Gradually, Xu Tian won more and lost less.
Today, Xu Tian had not lost for three months.
"Little friend, shall we practice again today?”
Old Gu asked softly.
Xu Tian laughed loudly and said," Old Gu, you're a very stubborn person. Come, if you want to torture me, I'll satisfy you."”
In this one year, Xu Tian had also completely let go of his temperament. Compared to the calmness he had at the Reflection Cliff, he was a little more carefree.
Old Gu smiled and didn't mind.
If the outside world heard this, they would definitely be shocked!
In the Eastern Barren Territory, who dared to say that the Gutian Sword Saint was looking for trouble?
"Little friend, I'm coming."
Old Gu swung the huge sword on his shoulder and stepped forward, slashing at Xu Tian!
"Come!"
Xu Tian also pulled out an ordinary iron sword and blocked with it.
The two of them did not use any magic power, but purely relied on sword moves to compete!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In an instant, the two of them exchanged more than a hundred moves, and there was no winner!
"Old Gu, what's going on over there?!”
Suddenly, Xu Tian looked behind Old Gu and shouted.
"Hmm?"
Old Gu turned around and looked behind him.
Puff!
Xu Tian's sword was placed on his neck.
"Hahaha, Old Gu, I told you you were looking for trouble.”Xu Tian laughed loudly.
Upon seeing this, Old Gu knew that Xu Tian was deliberately lying to divert his attention. He could only admit defeat helplessly.
"Young man, you don't care about martial ethics."
Xu Tian pursed his lips when he heard that.”
When Xu Tian first started to compete with Old Gu, he had been fooled by Old Gu's trick countless times, and it had worked every time.
This also made Xu Tian develop the habit of not being distracted when facing an enemy, no matter what happened.
Old Gu was speechless. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and say,"Could this be the result of hunting eagles all day and getting pecked in the eye?”
Xu Tian looked at him and patted his shoulder.""Don't be unconvinced. Even if you continue to fight, you will definitely lose within a hundred moves.”
"You're so confident, young friend?" Old Gu raised his eyebrows.”
"It's not confidence, it's the truth."
Xu Tian paused for a moment and said seriously," Old Gu, your sword force is strong and heavy. Moreover, you often use unconventional sword techniques. Your application of various sword techniques has already reached the acme of perfection.”
"But you forgot one thing. The essence of the path of the sword is actually still three words!”
"Fast, accurate, and ruthless!"
"And your sword is too slow."
"Or rather, because of some extra techniques that have been carved into your bones, it has affected the speed of your sword.”
As soon as he said this, Old Gu was stunned. Then, as if he had caught onto something, his eyes suddenly burst out with a strange light!
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
That's right, this was the essence of swordsmanship!
The reason why he returned to his original state and came to the East Ocean to practice his sword technique was to comprehend the true essence of sword techniques.
Vaguely, he understood something.
"Listening to you is better than reading ten years of books.”
Old Gu cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Xu Tian like an apprentice.
"There's no need to be like this. This is just some of my shallow knowledge.”Xu Tian smiled.

An old man had passed away in the building next door. It was too noisy, so the update was a little late today. However, there would definitely be more updates later.
As for the plot, everyone could rest assured. The author had already prepared the outline. Every person and plot was written to pave the way for the future. Everyone did not have to worry about it being off track.
Fungus Author wasn't the kind of author who enjoyed writing for a moment. He wanted to write a long and stable story, so he would bury the lines appropriately.
Finally, he had to kneel down and reward the evaluation votes and monthly votes!^_^
