Emperor Yutianwu

Chu Yan fell into deep silence after hearing the old man's words.

Forge an invincible sword of your own and surpass the Heaven-Refining Divine Sword?

Of course he knew this.

And it has been this goal over the years.

It's just... it's easy to say, but too difficult to do.

How strong is the Heavenly Sword?

That is the divine sword used by the Lord of Heaven Refining to create the universe.

Who is the Lord of Heaven Refining?

The founder of the first universe, Chu Yan still knows that he was once one of the Nine Emperors from outside the era.

This kind of person is too strong.

Chu Yan has always been aiming for it, but surpassing it is as difficult as reaching the sky.

At least until now, he hasn't even figured out how to advance to idealism.

The words of the Lord of Heaven Refining must be based on idealism.

The old man seemed to see Chu Yan's worries, and said calmly: "Boy, have you thought wrong? I asked you to forge a sword of your own, a sword that surpasses the God of Refining Sword, and I am not asking you to make a sword of your own. You now surpass the Lord of Heaven Refining!"

"The Lord of Heaven Refining is strong, but he didn't reach what he is today in one day! He has been able to get to where he is today, and it took him thousands of years, and even lifetimes of hard work!"

Chu Yan smiled bitterly: "Senior, I understand what you mean, but if I can't surpass the Lord of Heaven Refining, how can my sword surpass the Heaven Refining Divine Sword?"

"I'm not as good as the Master of Heaven Refining, so how can my sword be?"

The old man looked at Chu Yan and said calmly: "Why not?"

Chu Yan was confused.

The old man said: "You are currently unable to reach the height of the Lord of Heaven Refining because you need more time. In terms of potential, you are now much stronger than the Lord of Heaven Refining."

"But the sword is different!"

Chu Yan was slightly startled.

The old man continued: "Besides, I didn't say that your sword would immediately surpass the Divine Sword of Refining Heaven, but you should at least work hard for it, right?"

Chu Yan thought for a while and said: "I have been working hard to make swords!"

In this regard, he believed that he had done nothing wrong.

From the first time he left the universe and entered the void, he started the path of sword-making!

From the very beginning, a blood sword was simply tough enough, but had no other characteristics.

Later, Chu Yan forged the sword soul for him little by little, found the sword body, and merged the avenue...

This is how we have today’s Sword of Faith!

The old man said quietly: "You have indeed been strengthening your sword! But boy, you have ignored one thing."

"What?"

"You want to surpass the Lord of Heaven Refining, so you are working hard for it, right?"

Chu Yan nodded.

"I also firmly believe that you will be able to do it in the future." The old man paused and said, "But have you ever thought that your sword... actually wants to surpass the Heavenly Refining Divine Sword."

"What's the meaning?"

The old man said again: "The sword has a spirit. If you don't want it to be strong enough, in addition to your own efforts, you must also give the sword a chance to grow on its own."

"Self-growth?"

Chu Yan couldn't help but be stunned: "The sword can still grow on its own?"

Over the years, he has been working hard to strengthen the Sword of Faith.

But he was the one doing it, finding all kinds of rare materials to build it, and giving it more power.

But now the old man said...

Sword, can it grow on its own?

Is this possible?

The old man said lightly: "Of course you can! You have been too lonely in your life! Of course, I know there are many people behind you. The loneliness I am talking about here means that you want to carry everything alone! You want to be alone Facing all dangers, just like when you left that small world, you kept it safe and shouldered everything by yourself!"

"However, one person is destined to fail in this world!"

"If you want to succeed, there must be help from many people over there!"

"The same goes for swords!"

The old man said quietly: "Your sword, I actually want to grow, and it is even possible that I will come to feed you back."

Chu Yan was stunned.

The sword comes to repay oneself?

Can it be done?

But that's not the point.

Chu Yan frowned and looked at the old man with a strange look.

Suddenly, he said seriously: "Who is the senior?"

When the old man initially recognized the Heavenly Refining Divine Sword and mentioned the Heavenly Refining Master, Chu Yan was a little shocked, but he didn't think much about it.

After all, the Lord of Heaven Refining is too famous, and everyone outside the era knows about it.

In addition, the Lord of Heaven Refining was once one of the nine God Emperors.

But it’s different now!

Just now this old man... spoke of the mortal world?

Although it is not a secret that I walked out of the world by myself.

But there are really not many people outside the era who know about it.

What's more, this old man is just a secret in Tianlong Valley.

The old man said calmly: "Who I am is not important. What is important is whether you want to learn how to let the sword grow on its own?"

Chu Yan stared at the old man and fell into silence.

Finally, he sighed and said, "I'll learn!"

In the end, Chu Yan did not question the old man.

Because he understood one thing, if the old man didn't want to tell him, then it would be useless for him to ask anyway.

He has encountered this kind of thing too many times over the years.

Chu Yan guessed that this old man was probably related to Qin Ruomeng.

Especially when he recalled what Qing Yi said just now. Qing Yi obviously knew something. In addition, there are countless secrets in Tianlong Valley. Is it really just a coincidence that Qing Yi brought himself to this secret?

Chu Yan shook his head.

He doesn't believe it!

How can there be any coincidence in this world?

What you think is a coincidence is just a hidden hand that is much higher than your realm!

This is the case for ordinary people in the mortal world, who are silently controlled by the power of the emperor.

This is the opportunity in the cultivation world.

Chu Yan himself is the same.

Chu Yan understood very early that unless one day he jumped out of the chessboard and became a chess player, his fate would only be arranged by others.

Since there is no result, just don't care!

The way to let the sword grow independently.

I must learn it myself.

The old man was surprised to see Chu Yan agreed so readily and smiled: "I thought you would refuse."

Chu Yan shrugged: "Why refuse?"

"Because you guessed that there is something wrong with my identity."

Chu Yan nodded: "Yes, but someone once told me something."

"What?"

"Since you are a chess piece, then be a chess piece obediently, quietly accumulate strength, and when you are strong enough, turn the table!"

Chu Yan said, chuckled: "Since I am just a chess piece now, I will accept my fate. Anyway, you won't hurt me, so I will become stronger through you. When I am strong enough one day, I can turn over the chess table one day and see the faces of you people behind the scenes."

The old man was slightly startled, and suddenly laughed: "Interesting, interesting!"

Chu Yan said lightly: "Okay, old man, teach me how to let the sword grow autonomously."

Old man?

The old man was slightly startled: "You, are you calling me?"

Compared to before, Chu Yan obviously had less respect, and said lightly: "Yes, is there a problem?"

The old man blew his beard and said: "You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I won't teach you?"

Chu Yan rolled his eyes and said: "How is it possible! Since you appear here, it is likely that my parents kept you here."

"Or, you are the two of them, staying here to give me benefits."

"Or, you simply offended the two of them and were sealed here by them, waiting to give me benefits to atone for your sins."

"So how could you not give it to me?"

Chu Yan said indifferently.

The old man was stunned, and his smile became more intense: "You are smart."

Chu Yan said faintly: "In the final analysis, you are just a chess piece. As a chess piece, I still want to be a high-level one."

The old man was silent for a while, and nodded slightly: "Awesome, and courageous! Forget it, I'd better teach you quickly, kid, so as not to see you here all the time."

Chu Yan looked up at the old man and became serious.

He was a little impatient and disgusted with the old man because he was calculated.

But he would never be careless about cultivation.

The old man said seriously: "Boy, I will teach you the method of raising a sword now!"

"The method of raising a sword?"

"Yes."

The old man nodded: "For a true swordsman, the sword is the same as the person, and the two need to grow together!"

"The sword is like raising a child! You are now blindly looking for resources for it and constantly forging it with good treasures. This is like you raising a child and feeding him the best delicacies every day."

"Isn't this good?" Chu Yan said in surprise.

Although he doesn't have a child, if he does, he will definitely love him to the extreme.

Give him the best.

Chu Yan actually always likes children. The reason why he didn't have one is because he has too many responsibilities.

Now, he hasn't figured out many things yet, and there are too many external crises. He doesn't want his child to suffer.

Apart from anything else, with his current identity, there are already countless enemies in the open, not to mention the unknown in the dark and in the future.

There are too many people who want him dead.

It's fine if he doesn't have a child, but if he does...

He's afraid that countless people will think of him and use his child to threaten him.

So he has been thinking that when the sea turns into mulberry fields one day and he doesn't have to fight for his life anymore, he will have a child of his own.

At that time, he will definitely give him the best.

The old man nodded: "You are right, all parents will do so! But boy... you have overlooked something more important."

"What?"

"If you have a child, and you only give him delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day, won't you educate him?"

Chu Yan was slightly startled: "Educate?"

"Yes." The old man said faintly: "The same is true for swords. You use the best materials for your sword now, and integrate all the good resources into the sword! In this way, your sword is powerful, but it has no connotation!"

"A truly good sword should not be just like this, connotation is also very important."

"It's like raising a child. In addition to giving him good food every day, you also have to teach him the principles of being a human being and learn the knowledge of the world."

Chu Yan was silent for a moment.

He understood what the old man meant.

Thinking about it carefully... it seems to be true.

I have put a lot of effort into the Sword of Faith in the past few years.

All kinds of good resources and treasures have been forged into the sword, but as for the connotation... it seems that there is really nothing.
