My disciples are all qualified by the emperor

A hard worker.

Without talent, you can never go very far.

A gifted person.

But if you don’t work hard, you won’t be able to reach the top.

However, when a person is both talented and hardworking.

When dealing with one thing, there is a time of hard-earned determination.

Then, this person’s way will be long and wide.

The matter of cultivating the Tao.

It's not a fairy tale.

Without one of the two, it is impossible to go on this thorny road.

From these dense, intricate, deep and shallow sword marks.

Ye Qiubai could tell.

This senior swordsman has made efforts in the way of swordsmanship that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

That's why he was able to step into the realm of Sword God.

Ye Qiubai's sword kept following the image of the man practicing his sword against the stone pillar in his mind.

As the frequency of swinging the sword becomes faster and faster.

My understanding of the way of the sword is getting deeper and deeper.

Accompanied by the passage of time, the man slowly transformed from a young man into a middle-aged figure.

Sword in hand.

It’s also getting thicker!

Stay until the fourth day.

The sun rises slowly over the horizon of the endless sea.

When the sun shines warmly on everyone's bodies.

Ye Qiubai's realm actually broke through at this moment!

Reached half-step to the realm of immortality!

The sword in his hand, the meaning of the fairy sword, unconsciously surrounded Ye Qiubai.

With a sword slash, it cuts horizontally and pierces.

The sword intent will also splash out towards the surroundings!

It is also this time.

In front of Ye Qiubai, the sword marks on the stone pillar seemed to have a hint of spiritual energy.

Among them, there were wisps of sword intent, and with the swing of the long sword in Ye Qiubai's hand, a figure condensed into a figure beside him!

The movement and strength of his sword swing were surprisingly consistent with Ye Qiubai's!

Lai Qingyun and Zeng Jiyuan were attracted by this scene.

They understand too.

Ye Qiubai has already realized the mystery in the stone pillar.

After looking at each other helplessly.

Lai Qingyun smiled bitterly and sighed: "Today's young people are really more evil than the others."

Zeng Jiyuan's already cold and ruthless expression also twitched at this moment, and a smile that looked extremely ugly appeared.

"But I have to accept it. Thinking about it from another angle, maybe it is not unacceptable for such a sword cultivator to appear in the mid-latitude realm."

"Maybe he can lead the way of swordsmanship in the entire mid-latitude realm."

Lai Qingyun smiled and nodded: "It's not bad."

Seeing this scene, Zishan couldn't help but smile and said: "This person will definitely make great achievements in the way of swordsmanship."

Shi Sheng said proudly: "That's natural. With Senior Brother's talent and hard work in swordsmanship, I have never seen anyone stronger than him."

Zishan smiled and looked at Shisheng and said, "You admire him quite a bit."

Shi Sheng replied with an extremely serious expression: "Those who work hard are always worthy of admiration and learning."

Hearing this, Zishan couldn't help but look at Shi Sheng one more time, then smiled and said, "You are right."

In this world where talent is king.

Being able to value efforts so seriously.

Similarly, there are fewer and fewer people who can be as pure and innocent as Shi Sheng.

after all.

When others work hard.

Those with bad character will laugh at each other. If they work so hard, is it because they have bad talent?

Generally in front of others, the idea of ​​​​people who work hard is to make up for their lack of talent.

People with good moral character will only give insincere compliments and then ignore them in their hearts.

Shi Sheng took this matter so seriously.

This also shows that he is different from others.

This is also normal.

After all, Shi Sheng was born into an ordinary mortal family.

He practices Taoism.

Just to prevent his parents from being hungry, cold, and bullied by others.

Just to extend their lifespan when their realm is sufficient.

Even immortality.

This has always been Shi Sheng's ideal.

It hasn't changed since the beginning.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for him who wants to embark on the path of seeking Taoism as a voice among such a mortal family.

Trying hard to make up for the lack of talent and family heritage.

Even if he becomes a disciple of Lu Changsheng.

Nor dare to slack off at all.

and so.

Only then did he feel more sympathetic to the behavior of hard work.

And with the surge of sword intent.

The sword intent on the stone pillar seemed to be subtly changing Ye Qiubai's sword intent.

Although there is no breakthrough in the realm of swordsmanship.

But others can clearly feel it.

Ye Qiubai's sword intention became more profound.

Likewise, it is also a bit sharper.

At this time.

Ye Qiubai stopped practicing his sword and opened his eyes.

He bowed slightly towards the stone pillar.

The expression is serious.

Just at this moment.

Beside him, the figure condensed with sword intent in the stone pillar sword marks also disappeared, turning into wisps of sword intent and blending into the illusory sword.

At this time.

In the center of the four stone pillars, the illusory sword seemed to be somewhat solidified.

A voice also came from the sword body.

"Ye Qiubai, passed the first test."

The voice just fell.

Zeng Jiyuan and Lai Qingyun quickly came to Ye Qiubai's side.

He asked: "What is so mysterious about this stone pillar?"

Seeing the urgent look in their eyes.

Ye Qiubai couldn't help but smile and said: "The two seniors are too eager for quick success."

Zeng Jiyuan asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

"These sword marks are the marks left by the sword god's continuous sword practice from the moment he stepped into the sword."

"I'm not asking you to understand the sword's meaning in the sword marks." Ye Qiubai replied with a smile: "Senior Sword God left behind on the stone pillar his own journey into the way of the sword."

After Zeng Jiyuan and Lai Qingyun heard these words.

They were all stunned.

Immediately, they all clasped their fists towards Ye Qiubai with serious expressions.

"Teachable."

Two sword immortals stepped into the realm of fairy swords.

He has never been able to find a way to break through to a higher realm of swordsmanship.

Gradually, the original intention of kendo was forgotten.

Instead, he thought about seeking some kind of heavenly and earthly treasure, or the inheritance of a powerful sword cultivator.

Use this to seek opportunities for breakthroughs.

This may be true.

However, it is wrong for the essence of kendo.

Although the path of swordsmanship can be helped by external factors.

But in the final analysis, you still need to go on your own.

When the idea of ​​​​seeking external breakthroughs is deeply ingrained.

Zeng Jiyuan and Lai Qingyun, swordsmen who were already highly talented in swordsmanship, were trapped in the prison of their own thoughts for a long time.

This is also the reason why they have been unable to discover the mystery hidden on the stone pillars for a long time.

And what Ye Qiubai said.

It also made them understand this truth.

The dusty heart of the sword was opened.

Lai Qingyun and Zeng Jiyuan both looked at Ye Qiubai gratefully and said, "Both of us owe you a favor."

"If anything happens in the future, we will definitely retaliate."

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai immediately said in surprise: "Is this true?"

Zeng Jiyuan and Lai Qingyun were both stunned.

This look... why does it feel a bit cheap...

Mu Fusheng also covered his face, "I feel like some of Senior Brother's personalities are becoming more and more like Master..."
