The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Xuan Yuan, who was diagnosed with three spiritual roots at the Dharma Assembly, successfully became a disciple of the Sword Sect and became an ordinary outer sect disciple of the Sword Sect. The three spiritual roots are considered to be medium qualifications in the world of cultivation. They are not as important as geniuses with single or double spiritual roots, but they are definitely not as unpopular as four or five spiritual roots, and can only become casual cultivators. It is still very simple to become a disciple of the sect.

After the Dharma Assembly, Xuan Yuan followed the deacons of the Sword Sect who came to recruit disciples and returned to the Sword Sect mountain gate. It is a world completely different from the mortal world, hidden in the depths of the magnificent mountains and forests. It is a world completely separated from the mortal world and belongs to the world of cultivators. The magnificent scenery and thousands of postures there are unimaginable to Xuan Yuan, who lived in the mortal world before.

Speaking of which, the Sword Sect, the sect that Xuan Yuan worshipped when he first entered the world of cultivation, is really a good sect. Because all the disciples of the Sword Sect are on the path of sword cultivation, and the path of sword cultivation does not rely on external objects, unlike the magic cultivation that relies on magic and magic tools, and only focuses on tempering oneself and tempering one's own natal flying sword. Therefore, compared with other sects, the Sword Sect has fewer disputes and intrigues, and can be called harmonious.

The disciples of the Sword Sect, whether inner disciples or outer disciples, are mostly busy with their own cultivation and immersed in sword cultivation. There is not much contact between disciples. Even if there are occasional conflicts and disputes, as long as they go to the Sword Sect martial arts stage, all conflicts will be gone. It can be said that the atmosphere in the sect is very positive, without those bad atmospheres of smoke and miasma.

Although Xuanyuan was only an outer disciple when he entered the Sword Sect, in the Sword Sect, the inner disciples would not look down on the outer disciples outside. Because at the beginning, the division of inner and outer disciples of the Sword Sect was just a simple division based on qualifications, but in the later period, the only measure of inner and outer disciples was strength.

This rule is implemented after the disciples of the Sword Sect enter the foundation-building period. From the foundation-building period, the strong disciples of the Sword Sect are naturally divided into inner disciples, and the weaker ones will be demoted to outer disciples. No matter what the origin, qualifications, or origin, the Sword Sect does not care in the later period. The only criterion for measuring everything is strength.

Therefore, there is really no soil for conspiracy and intrigue to grow in the Sword Sect, and there are not so many conspiracies and calculations hidden in the dark. The style of the Sword Sect is to be open and straightforward. If you want to gain enough status in the Sword Sect, then make yourself stronger. Apart from this, any other tricks are useless in the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect only considers strength and swords, and those other fancy moves will not be counted at all.

Before the disciples of the Sword Sect enter the foundation-building period, although they are directly determined by qualifications to be inner and outer gates, there is actually no master-disciple inheritance in both the inner and outer gates. All the disciples who first join the Sword Sect will be issued with a unified sword code, and then they will be given certain cultivation resources according to their initial qualifications.

After that, the cultivation of the new disciples of the Sword Sect depends entirely on their own consciousness. Whether they choose to be diligent and diligent to meditate and practice every day, work hard to temper themselves and make themselves grow up as soon as possible, or think that they can sit back and relax after joining the Sword Sect and be lazy and casual, the powerful monks of the Sword Sect will not interfere, and they will let the disciples of the Sword Sect do whatever they want-if they can't even bear the hardships of the initial cultivation and the loneliness, let alone the future.

If the disciples do not enter the foundation-building period, the elders of the Sword Sect will not accept them as disciples, nor will they force the disciples to practice in any way. The Sword Sect's inherited skills-the sword code, have been distributed to each disciple. Whether they are suitable for the path of sword cultivation and whether they can find the obsession in their hearts and condense it into sword intent, it is up to each disciple of the Sword Sect to explore and experiment.

Before that, the Sword Sect would not interfere with the path of any new disciple. Even if a genius with a single spiritual root went astray, they would not correct him. If there was a problem in the cultivation path at the beginning, whether it was a disciple with a single spiritual root, a disciple with three spiritual roots, or a disciple with four spiritual roots, they would face the same treatment. The Sword Sect treated them all equally.

Disciples with single spiritual roots might be treasured in other sects, disciples who were cherished and protected, but in the Sword Sect, geniuses with single spiritual roots did not receive any special treatment except that they could be directly assigned to the inner sect and enjoy the treatment of inner sect disciples when they just entered the sect and their cultivation level had not reached the foundation-building stage.

After the foundation-building stage, even if they were disciples with single spiritual roots, they had to rely on their strength to compete for the status and identity of inner sect disciples and core disciples. After the foundation building stage, one must be able to defeat the cultivators of the same level and condense the sword intent to be pure, only then will he be qualified to stand out from the outer sect and be accepted as a disciple by the powerful elders and deacons of the Sword Sect, and officially join the Sword Sect to inherit the glory of the Sword Sect for ten thousand years.

In the eyes of the Sword Sect’s high-ranking officials, only when they have walked their own path and condensed their own sword intent during the Qi training stage, these new disciples are qualified to practice swordsmanship and are worthy of being valued and taught by them. If they can’t even pass the test of the Qi training stage, then it’s better not to practice swordsmanship, so as not to waste time and waste the resources that the Sword Sect has invested in it.

The road to becoming a strong person is to walk on your own, especially for sword cultivators who focus on themselves and their own flying swords. To become a sword cultivator, you must first have the determination and perseverance that surpasses ordinary people, and secondly, you must be able to endure the loneliness and countless tests that make people crazy. Only with the determination to carry everything and move forward can you continue on this extremely difficult road. If you don’t have a firm determination at the beginning, then don’t force it——

There are all kinds of inheritances in the world of cultivation, which can be called a hundred flowers blooming, but it is generally recognized in the world of cultivation that among the many types of cultivators, the sword cultivators are the most powerful. When cultivators of the same level fight one-on-one, the sword cultivators are respected. This is something that many cultivators in the world of cultivation have to admit. However, sword cultivators are invincible in single combat, but the number of sword cultivators who have truly achieved success is very small. Not only are they far inferior to the largest category of cultivators, the magic cultivators, but the number of talisman cultivators is also less than that of sword cultivators.

Just from this fact, you can know how difficult it is to practice sword cultivation. If a person without talent wants to succeed in the path of sword cultivation, then he may not get any reward even if he puts in a hundred times more effort. Although the path of sword cultivation is powerful, it is also destined to be difficult to cultivate. There is no such thing as a pie in the sky in this world. Wanting something to be simple and easy, and the final effect is also extremely outstanding, is nothing but a fantasy, and perhaps it is faster to dream.

It was under such circumstances and environment that Xuanyuan joined the Sword Sect and cultivated in the Sword Sect as an ordinary outer disciple.

The sword canon issued by the Sword Sect to the new disciples was the second jade slip Xuanyuan obtained in the world of cultivation. It recorded the Qi Refining Chapter of the Sword Sect's inherited skills, and it was also the classics used by the new disciples to practice uniformly. The Qi Refining Chapter of the Sword Canon is very simple. As long as you practice step by step according to the records in the Sword Canon, you can lay the most stable and solid foundation. Therefore, during the Qi Refining period, it doesn’t matter if there is no master’s inheritance.

The Sword Canon is a required book for the entry-level cultivators of the Sword Sect. After obtaining the Sword Canon, Xuan Yuan was like a traveler who had been thirsty for a long time and saw a clear and clean water source. He could not wait to pounce on it and read the skills recorded in the Sword Canon eagerly. Here, I have to praise the Sword Sect. The records in their Sword Canon are not in words, but just like the first jade slip that Xuan Yuan got that introduced the basic situation of the cultivation world, it is directly recorded and described with sound and pictures.

If the Sword Canon was recorded in the unique text of the cultivation world, Xuan Yuan, who was just a wandering orphan and had never read a book, would not be able to understand the records in the Sword Canon at all. To learn the Sword Canon, he had to learn to read first. And given Xuan Yuan's situation of having no relatives in the cultivation world, he didn't know how long it would take before he could really start practicing.

Perhaps Xuan Yuan really had a promising future in sword cultivation. After reading the Sword Canon just now, he quickly got a clue and had some insights into the sword. Although those insights were as ethereal and unreal as the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, Xuan Yuan did have many inexplicable feelings in his heart after seeing the sword canon for the first time.

After starting to practice step by step, Xuan Yuan's practice speed was naturally far slower than the geniuses with dual spiritual roots and single spiritual roots. Therefore, with slightly inferior qualifications, Xuan Yuan, who had just entered the Sword Sect, spent nine hours out of twelve hours a day on practice in order to catch up with the practice speed of those in front of him. He practiced in meditation every day.

If you can't compete with the efficiency and speed of absorbing spiritual energy during meditation, at least you can compete with the time of practice-if it weren't for the fact that the physical strength of the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage was no different from that of ordinary people, and they didn't have much ability, let alone practicing meditation all night, Xuan Yuan might really spend all twelve hours a day on practice.

Xuan Yuan, who showed his nature as a practice maniac from the very beginning, might not be able to do such a thing.

However, it is a pity that even if Xuan Yuan spent nine hours a day on practice, he was gradually left behind by those geniuses.
