CapĂtulo 1890: Chapter 1858: The Fruit of the Yin Yang Sword Son
Jiang Ding lingered in the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm for over a thousand years.
During those thousand years, he didnât do much else but seek advice from the Sun Sword Master each day and discuss sword dao with the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Child.
The remaining time was naturally spent on cultivation, comprehending and learning new sword dao techniques, and assimilating new magic cultivation methods. He eagerly enriched his immortal path foundation.
Among these comprehendible cultivation methods was the Supreme Classic of the Great Yin Yang Sword Realm, the âTaiyin and Taiyang Sword Scripture.â
Previously, the Sun Sword Master didnât pass on this heritage, not out of stinginess,
but because he feared that the fully mature Taiyin and Taiyang path would instantly overwhelm and assimilate the newborn Great Sun Sword Dao, causing it to lose its identity, thus becoming an incoherent path.
Without the destruction and self-burning forward of the Great Sun Sword Dao, nor the yin-yang symbiosis and immortality of the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Dao, it was completely a neither-nor.
Now, the Sun Sword Master judged that the Great Sun Sword Dao had acquired enough strength and wouldnât be assimilated by the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Dao, thus he opened up this heritage aspect.
Jiang Ding reciprocated by copying a new version of the âGreat Sun Sword Sutraâ and placing it in the Sutra Pavilion.
Every generationâs Great Sun Sword Master revises the âGreat Sun Sword Sutra,â and this generation is no exception.
Moreover, the revisions are more frequent; every ten thousand years, the âGreat Sun Sword Sutraâ undergoes significant changes. The Sutra before and after ten thousand years is completely different.
The young Great Sun Sword Dao, like a growing youth, constantly undergoes significant changes every moment.
The Yin Yang Sword Dao and the Taiyin and Taiyang Sword Dao must have experienced such a process in their times.
Such peaceful times passed for over a millennium.
Jiang Ding bid farewell to the Sun Sword Master, who offered further guidance, and then took his leave, accompanied by the Sun Sword Child and Taiyin Sword Child.
They walked and talked.
âDiverting attention a few dozen or even a few thousand times while maintaining efficient learning isnât that difficult.â
âYouâll get used to it.â
Jiang Ding casually remarked, âFor we sword cultivators, life isnât filled with much enjoyment besides a single sword. The greatest joy lies in continuously understanding cultivation methods, sword techniques, and learning various things, accumulating our immortal foundation bit by bit with a sense of fulfillment.â
âFurthermore, itâs best to try innovation and create sword techniques that suit ourselves.â
âInnovation?â
The Sun Sword Child was taken aback.
The heritage of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm is so long-standing that successive ancestors had honed all sword techniques and cultivation methods to perfection, leaving little room for the younger generationâs innovation compared to these crystallizations of wisdom.
He had tried before but quickly became discouraged to the point of closing up.
âYes.â
âOnly through innovation can one go further. Following rules by rote isnât enough.â
Jiang Ding casually drew out a longsword and slashed out a yin-yang symbiotic sword qi into the void.
This yin-yang dual sword qi intertwined, transformed, and its aura rose steadily, finally shifting from yin-yang to pure yang, and pure yang to the destructive Great Sun. The power of the sword qi rose from one to six, without more involvement of divine sense and mana.
The Sun Sword Child couldnât help but be drawn in.
This sword technique was the basic sword technique of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, named Yin-Yang Qi Slash, a technique beginning Qi practitioners to learn, very ordinary.
Yet in the hands of the Pure Yang Sword Child, it exhibited power far beyond the technique itself.
This wasnât due to the amount or quality of mana and divine sense. The Sun Sword Child saw clearly that Pure Yang Sword Child used only the typical mana and divine sense of a Qi practitioner, yet this sword could practically slay a Peak of Foundation Building cultivator.
It was purely swordsmanship skill!
âThis is innovation.â
âEvery cultivatorâs divine soul and mana have extremely subtle differences; naturally, they are not identical to those of the ancestors, and must incorporate innovative changes to the sword techniques.â
âDonât underestimate even a tiny bit of subtle adjustment.â
âYou should know, the closer a life form gets to perfection and the way, any slight hint of proximity to perfection will bring earth-shattering changes to the material world.â
Jiang Ding explained in detail to the two.
âCloser to perfection, closer to the wayâŠâ
The Sun Sword Child murmured.
He felt vaguely aware, yet confused, unable to comprehend.
He knew that the Pure Yang Sword Child was teaching him the principles of breaking through limits, but to be honest, it was too difficult, without a clue.
âI donât quite understand.â
The Sun Sword Child said somewhat embarrassingly.
âNo problem,â
âItâs simply due to insufficient accumulation; learning more will suffice.â Jiang Ding smiled, âAt the Harmonization stage, if the external situation isnât urgent, you should try breaking through your limits, even just once; it will make a difference in the future. Donât rush; we are very young and have plenty of time.â
âIf you have any questions, you can send me a letter.â
âIâll be in the Realm of Colorful Divine Light for a while.â
âUnderstood!â
The Sun Sword Child replied excitedly.
The Taiyin Sword Child noticed, âfor a while.â
She couldnât help but feel sympathy for the many Taoist disciples and Saint Heirs of the Perishing Immortal Realm.
This powerful and cunningly deceptive dog thing is about to show up, and he seems to have extensive experience in hunting Taoist disciples, able to handle everything alone without anyoneâs help.
As the three walked and talked, they reluctantly parted and reached the teleportation formation.
âIn future correspondenceâŠâ
Jiang Ding stepped onto the teleportation formation.
Just as he was about to leave, he caught something from a direction.
âPure Yang Sword Child!â
âPure Yang Sword Child! Wait for me! Wait for me!â
In that direction, a young girl, dressed in a luxurious Yin Yang Robe, with pink cheeks and jade-like features, was running rapidly towards them, her face flushed red, and her small body radiating vibrant life.
The girl shouted as she ran.
The three Sword Children indeed stopped and waited for her.
âPure Yang Sword Child,â
âThis is for you!â
The Yin Yang Robe-clad girl arrived in front of Jiang Ding, breathless, and stuffed a fruit filled with mingling yin-yang qi into Jiang Dingâs hand.
The yin-yang fruit was inscribed with runes of yin-yang rules, exuding a chaotic aura.
This was a ninth-rank spiritual fruit, the Yin Yang Nourishing God Fruit, a fortuitous encounter of the first Yin Yang Ancestor. Initially an eighth-rank spiritual plant, it was cultivated generation after generation to become a ninth-rank spiritual plant today.
âYin Yang Sword Child, why give this to me?â
Jiang Ding bent down smilingly and asked.
This was the Sword Child of the Yin Yang Lineage, the Yin Yang Sword Child. She was about the same age as the Sun Sword Child, and her small size was due to the inherent characteristics of the Yin Yang Sword Dao, gathering yin and yang into one, yin-yang symbiosis, thus her growth was somewhat slow, eventually halting.
When the Sun Sword Child first saw Jiang Dingzi at the semblance of sixteen, he was not surprised because of this reason.
An old tradition of the sect.
In those years, the Yin Yang Ancestor appeared as a child, so a sixteen-year-old youth was nothing unusual.
In the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, the Yin Yang Sword Vein is exceptional, where their strongest genius could be called a Sword Child, transcending other branches.
âBecause youâre the Pure Yang Sword Child.â
âWhy else?â
The Yin Yang Sword Child rolled her eyes, slightly unhappy with Jiang Ding indirectly treating her as a child, huffing, âMaster told us to take care of the Pure Yang Lineage, as if looking after a younger brother.â
âRight?â
âPure Yang Sword Child little brother.â
She placed her hands on her hips, floating slightly until she was a bit taller than the green-clothed youth, satisfied, she patted the youthâs head.
Historically, the Pure Yang Sword Master personally trained and nurtured the Yin Yang Ancestor.
Much like how the Yin Yang Sword Master nurtured the Taiyin Sun Sword Master, and now the Taiyin Sun Sword Master nurtures the Pure Yang Sword Child, itâs a tradition of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.
History has shown that whenever such a situation emerged, the respective lineage would experience significant breakthroughs.
For instance, the Yin Yang Lineage far surpassed the era when the Yin Yang Sword Master existed, and the Pure Yang Lineage far surpassed the era when the Pure Yang Sword Master existed, akin to rising with the tide, a path-dependent trait.
âAlright,â
âThank you for the fruit.â
Jiang Ding chuckled, allowing her to pat his head, then took out a jade slip: âHere is a result of a lunar female practitioner switching to the Yin Yang Sword Dao, which I have corrected somewhat and now give it to you, Yin Yang Sword Child, hoping it helps your sword dao.â
âDo you also know the Yin Yang Sword Dao?â
The Yin Yang Sword Child was somewhat confused as she put away the jade slip.
âA Taiyin female practitioner switching to the Yin Yang Sword Dao?â
The Taiyin Sword Child was moved.
Mystically, she felt a strong fondness for this unknown Taiyin female cultivator.
This Taiyin female practitioner should also be a Taiyin Sword Child, abandoned by her Sun Sword Child, how pitiful; she must help her well in the future.
The Taiyin Sword Childâs heart surged with chaotic emotions.
The few Sword Children discussed mystical principles for a while, and after agreeing to keep in contact via letters in the future, the Pure Yang Sword Child waved goodbye to everyone and vanished in the teleportation formation.
