As he circulated the Innate Qi Refinement Art, Genuine Qi gushed out of his dantian and entered his meridians.
His body, which was falling, stopped in an instant. A mouthful of zhenqi condensed without dispersing, and his body became lighter and lighter.
Like a flying goose, he infused his zhenqi into his sleeves. The cool mountain wind blew against his face, and with every rise and fall, he appeared more than a hundred feet away.
It was as agile as a spirit ape.
After about five minutes, Lin Xuan landed on the Heart Examining Lake at the back of the mountain. Green waves rippled as he walked on the waves. A figure had long landed in the heart of the lake and waited.
It was Wudang Sect's Sect Master, Wang Zhonglou.
"Greetings, Master."
The young Taoist priest stopped and bowed respectfully.
Wang Zhonglou stood on the surface of the lake. No matter how the water under his feet surged, his body did not move at all.
However, Lin Xuan could not do it. His body had to dissipate the force with the waves.
The Wudang Sect Master's gaze fell on the young Taoist priest. After sizing him up for a moment, he sighed and said,"You always bring me many surprises.”
"Why is Master so sentimental today?”
Lin Xuan teased.
"What do you know?"
Wang Zhonglou said," This is called using the human heart to understand the heart of heaven. The changes of heaven and earth are endless and strange.”
"Bragging."
the young Daoist muttered.
"Ahem, it's just a little exaggerated. It's not bragging.”
Wang Zhonglou coughed twice.
After saying that, he put on a serious expression and said,"Now that you have cultivated the Qi Refinement Art to the sixth level, your cultivation has also entered the Xiantian second stage, and the Sun Qi Sword has been perfected, it is time for you to choose your own path.”
"Choose what?"
He was confused.
"Simply put, it's choosing between the Dao of the Sword and the Dao of the Heavens.”
Wang Zhonglou explained.
"What's the difference?"
Lin Xuan frowned.
"Yes."
Wang Zhonglou said," The Heavenly Dao is illusory and difficult to comprehend. You need to understand the Heavenly Heart with the human heart and stay away from the mortal world. You can't be tainted by too much karma. Otherwise, your Dao heart will be dusty. If it's light, you'll go berserk. If it's serious, heaven and earth will fall and the five lightning will transform your body. However, there are also benefits. It's more blessings and longevity."”
"What about Sword Dao?"
he asked.
"The Dao of the Sword doesn't have so many rules and regulations.”
Wang Zhonglou stroked his beard." Walking in Jianghu, wielding a sword, I don't ask for anything else. I only ask for one thing: to have a clear mind.”
"Are those who cultivate the Heavenly Dao generally living longer than those who cultivate the Sword Dao?”
Lin Xuan asked.
"That's more or less the reason."
Wang Zhonglou smiled and nodded.”
"Who is more powerful in the Dao of the Sword or the Dao of the Heavens?”
He was curious.
"Sixty years ago, the Way of the Sword was the king. Now, the Way of the Heavens reigns supreme.”
The Wudang Sect Leader spoke with assurance.
This was the foundation of a large sect. The inheritance accumulated over many generations was not something that ordinary sects in the pugilistic world could compare to.
While the people outside were still busy killing each other, you were listening to the difference between the Heavenly Dao and the Sword Dao with your elders.
Once again, it proved that no matter where it was, knowledge was power.
"There's also the biggest difference. The Heavenly Dao knows the situation and cannot be changed.
The way of the sword did not seek the heart of the heavens, but the will of the people.”
"Have you thought it through? Disciple, do you want to walk the path of the sword or the path of the heavens?”
"I'll teach you the cultivation technique according to your choice," said Wang Zhonglou.”
"Master, can't you shoulder the Sword Dao and the Heavenly Dao alone?”
Lin Xuan suddenly spoke.
Wang Zhonglou was silent for a moment, and a name could not help but appear in his mind. It was the founder of Wudang, the one who carried the sword and the Heavenly Dao.
"Can't I?"
The young Taoist priest frowned.
"It's not impossible."
Wang Zhonglou shook his head and smiled bitterly.""Since ancient times, there has only been one person who has carried the Dao of the Sword and the Heavenly Dao on his shoulders.”
"Good disciple, why do you have such thoughts?”
The Wudang Sect Master tried to dispel his disciple's unrealistic thoughts.
"Master, didn't you cultivate the Heavenly Dao and not be tainted by karma just now? Otherwise, you would have been transformed by the Five Lightning.”
Lin Xuan smiled and said,"I thought of an excellent idea. As long as the Heavenly Dao and Sword Dao shoulder it, I can solve the problem of the heavenly tribulation."”
"How?"
Wang Zhonglou's head did not turn for a moment.
"Of course I'm using the Dao of the Sword to deal with the heavenly tribulation.”
The young Taoist priest curled his lips.”
Upon hearing this, the corners of Wang Zhonglou's mouth could not help but twitch. He was cursing in his heart. He cultivated the Heavenly Dao to comprehend the Heavenly Heart and cultivated the Sword Dao to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation.
But thinking about it carefully, this method did not seem to be a problem.
Moreover, that person seemed to have done the same thing back then.
"You brat, temporarily put away this unrealistic idea.”
Wang Zhonglou put on a stern face and pretended to be serious.""There are only two choices. Cultivate the Sword Dao or the Heavenly Dao.”
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and said,"Cultivate the sword path first. I want to walk through the three realms of grandmaster."”
"Have you thought it through?"
"There's no turning back for this kind of thing," the Wudang Sect Master said with a serious expression.”
"I've thought it through."
He said seriously," If I enter the Finger Profound directly from the Connate Realm, my strength will be too weak even though my realm is high.
I will first enter the Vajra Realm, then the Finger Xuan Realm, and finally the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. I will cultivate each realm to the Great Realm.
In the end, the three realms merged into one and he broke through to become a Land Deity, walking a path of invincibility.”
"Good, as expected of my disciple.”
Wang Zhonglou knew how difficult this path was. It would be a great fortune if one out of ten million people could succeed.
However, he didn't dampen his disciple's spirits.
Which young man wasn't hot-tempered, and which Heaven's Favorite didn't have a lofty character?
If one had the heart, one might end up accomplishing nothing, or even die without a corpse. However, if one did not have the heart, it was impossible for one to climb the path of the sword. One could only end up doing nothing and becoming a nobody.
"Come to the True Martial Hall half a month later. I'll teach you an even more profound and exquisite sword technique.”
With that, he placed his hands behind his back and flew up the mountain.
If Lin Xuan wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Dao, Wang Zhonglou would teach him the Yellow Court Scripture, the most obscure martial art of this sect.
However, the Heavenly Dao was not suitable for the current Wudang Sect.
If they wanted to restore Wudang's prestige, the best way was to cultivate the way of the sword. Only by experiencing blood and fire could Wudang emerge from its decline and compete with Mount Longhu.
There was another reason why Wang Zhonglou had to be cautious. This was because the choice of the Heavenly Way and Sword Dao was related to another major event.
Could Lin Xuan sit on the position of Wudang Sect's sect master?
Lin Xuan did not know this. He had thought about the choice of Sword Dao carefully.
Sword Dao was the fastest way to increase one's strength. Moreover, because of the Mountain Guard System, it could quickly assist in cultivation.
It could be said that he did not have the idea of shouldering the Sword Dao and the Heavenly Dao alone, but that was only after he cultivated the Sword Dao to a high level.
To be precise, he did not choose pure Sword Dao, but Martial Dao.
Back to the foot of the mountain
The Youngest Uncle who was sleeping in the pavilion opened his eyes and asked curiously,""Have you chosen?"
"How do you know everything?"
Lin Xuan was helpless.
"This is called wisdom."
"I chose the Dao of the Sword or the Dao of Heaven," said Youngest Uncle with a smile.”
"Sword Dao."
"I'm not interested in being like you," he said.”
"What's so good about fighting and killing?”
Youngest Uncle's hands were behind his head as he hummed an off-key tune.
