Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 48: Lu Lao is shocked

Professionals like him can tell at a glance that Xu You's current state is quite impressive.

It's as if he has directly surpassed the threshold that many beginners struggle with and has entered a stage where he is effortlessly skilled and flowing. He has already achieved unity of person and sword.

It's strange!

He didn't expect to see this in Xu You at this moment.

The more he looks, the more the shock expands in his heart.

Every movement of the wooden sword, every cut, possesses a sense of artistic beauty.

It's like the feeling of a master of swordsmanship reminiscing about the carefree play with a wooden sword in their youth.

It is highly appreciable as an art form.

Suddenly, the wooden sword turns, and a clear sword aura is slashed straight ahead, landing on the ground in front.

The sword aura stirs up a bit of dust and leaves a sword mark on the ground.

This sword mark is deeper than the one next to Lu Changkong, clearly indicating a greater depth.

Lu Changkong fell silent, looking at the sword mark with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Didn't the Peak Master say that Xu You follows the pure path of utmost strength and utmost yang, with exceptional talent? But his swordsmanship is not good?

You call this not good?

He only studied the Haoyun Sword Technique for a few days!

Lu Changkong couldn't accept it; this question was beyond his scope.

Xu You put down the wooden sword and looked at Lu Changkong, asking with the etiquette of a disciple, "Senior Lu, can this be considered a sword technique?"

When he took the wooden sword just now, it seemed as if the wooden sword had become a part of his arm.

Without using any cultivation, he could clearly feel every subtle movement of the sword tip. It was a mysterious and profound feeling.

It was like the delicate sensation of observing microorganisms swimming under a microscope.

Based on this flow, he instinctively began to adjust the trajectory of the sword tip. The wooden sword in his hand seemed to have merged with the world at some point.

Xu You's words startled Lu Changkong, and he asked, "Have you never had any contact with swordsmanship before?"

"Never," Xu You shook his head.

Lu Changkong took a sharp breath; for a first-time sword holder to achieve this level...

It's like teaching someone that one plus one equals two, and they immediately comprehend using calculus to find the area under a curve.

Could he be an extraordinary genius? Did the Peak Master misjudge him?

Lu Changkong felt that his worldview was being seriously challenged.

He had only asked Xu You if he had seen the Haoyun Sword Technique; he didn't expect him to start learning it on his own.

According to his understanding, the order should be like this: Xu You should first observe and have a basic understanding and insight into the foundation of sword Dao.

Then, Lu Changkong would test the depth and accuracy of his understanding, whether there were any mistakes.

After that, Xu You would gradually practice, starting from the most basic sword aura and gradually advancing.

As for the Divine Abilities recorded in the Haoyun Sword Technique, they should be learned last.

In this process, he would slowly extinguish Xu You's thoughts of pursuing swordsmanship without harming his Dao heart and self-esteem. This would be considered fulfilling the Peak Master's instructions.

This was Lu Changkong's plan, and he believed it could be accomplished within his control.

But now, Xu You starts with such a mature sword technique. How can he proceed?

He almost couldn't help but ask Xu You how he did it.

After a long time, Lu Changkong slowly calmed down and thought about the instructions from the peak master. Today, he must get this done!

"This sword technique is actually nothing special. Sword cultivators should have sword qi, using flying swords as carriers. Do you know why?" Xu You replied, "Actually, I don't really like using swords. It's troublesome. I can just release sword qi directly without using a sword."

"To detach the spiritual sword as a carrier and release sword qi with qi is something that can only be learned after advancing. Remember not to force yourself to take a leap, as it will only make your sword path unstable. I've told you before, young people shouldn't be too greedy. Wait, what did you just say?"

Just as Lu Changkong finished speaking, he couldn't close his mouth because he saw such a scene.

Xu You used his hand as a sword, gently waved it twice, and then two sharp sword qi shot straight into the distant sky.

Wherever it passed, it left behind a chilling aura of sword qi.

Xu You didn't use too much cultivation, so although the power was not strong, professionals could see the profound understanding of sword dao behind the release of these two sword qi.

To casually release these two sword qi in such a carefree manner, it may not be considered mastery of sword dao, but it can only be achieved by an old sword cultivator who has immersed themselves in sword dao for many years.

Lu Changkong fell into silence once again.

This was practical training, an operation that no sword master could find fault with.

"Lu Lao, what did you just say?" Xu You was not very satisfied with his two sword qi. He was still a bit unfamiliar with them and needed more practice.

His attention was focused on the sword qi just now, so he didn't hear clearly what the other party had just said.

"It's nothing..." Lu Changkong took a deep breath, shook his head lightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where did you find the time to practice sword qi?"

"I'm ashamed." Xu You felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I started practicing a few days ago, so I'm not very proficient. My sword qi is a bit rough. I apologize for letting Lu Lao see it."

In fact, Xu You himself had fallen into a misconception. He subconsciously always compared himself to Mo Yuhuang's level.

He had seen Mo Yuhuang release his sword. Therefore, faced with his own sword qi, which was far inferior to Mo Yuhuang's, he naturally had no reason to be proud.

Lu Changkong stared at Xu You with empty eyes, and the other party's embarrassed appearance didn't seem fake at all.

It seemed that he was really embarrassed and thought that his sword qi was rough.

Damn it, shouldn't I be the one feeling embarrassed?

After practicing sword for 150 years, shouldn't I be the one feeling embarrassed?

A cultivator who knows nothing about sword dao becomes a master of sword dao in just a few days? The sword qi he casually released is enough for a talented sword cultivator to practice for many years.

Is there such a thing in the world?

At this point, Lu Changkong was starting to feel a bit numb. Even with his strong willpower and clear state of mind, he was now being disturbed and confused.

In Kunlun Immortal Sect, he had naturally seen countless geniuses, but they still followed the rules.

Xu You right now was just too unreasonable.

Lu Changkong didn't believe that Xu You could surprise him again. In order to fulfill the instructions of the peak master, he mechanically nodded his head slightly and continued to suppress Xu You.

"Knowing that it's rough is good, so this path is not easy to take."

"Understood, Lu Lao. I will definitely strengthen my cultivation." Xu You sincerely responded with a fist salute.

Seeing Xu You's misunderstanding, Lu Changkong continued, "Although you have a little understanding of sword dao, it's actually nothing. Let's not talk about distant things. Let's talk about the Divine Ability Mirror Flower Water Moon in the Haoyun Sword Art."

Lu Changkong's voice once again came to a halt because his eyes saw such a scene.

Xu You almost instantly released hundreds of sword qi. The aura of each sword qi was almost the same, making it impossible to distinguish them for a moment.

The sword qi hung in the air, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
