Chapter 51: Chapter 51
"The Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords are the closely guarded secret of your Sword Sect. This person must be Senior Sword Sovereign. Otherwise, how could he possibly know such a supreme sword technique?"
"However, Senior Desolate Sword, you need not worry. Senior Sword Sovereign’s sword technique has already reached a profound realm. In all of Silver Willow, how many people could truly be his match? I trust he is safe and sound."
Desolate Sword did not pay much mind to Adam’s comfort. He knew better than anyone what Second Senior Brother Sword Sovereign’s strength was like.
A century ago, Sword Sovereign was already an existence who had Entered the Dao. Speaking purely of Sword Dao attainments, no one in the entire Sword Sect could compare to him.
For a figure of that caliber, how many in the whole of Silver Willow could possibly stand as his match?
A century ago, when Desolate Sword first joined the Sword Sect, he witnessed Senior Brother Sword Sovereign’s peerless bearing with his own eyes. His sword momentum was like the waters of the Heavenly River, endless and majestic, free and utterly unrestrained.
Others all said Desolate Sword was the most free-spirited sword cultivator under the heavens, but who among them knew that his temperament had been shaped entirely by Senior Brother Sword Sovereign?
Unfortunately, such a free-spirited, uninhibited peerless swordsman was ultimately trapped by love.
In the end, his temperament changed drastically. He fled the Sword Sect, and there had been no news of him ever since.
After reminiscing about Senior Brother Sword Sovereign for a while, Desolate Sword finally remembered what Adam had said earlier.
The Innate Dao Body! He no longer thought Adam was spouting nonsense. Excitement surged through his eyes. "Little Brother Adam, you just said your maidservant is an Innate Dao Body. Quick, quickly take me to see her."
Desolate Sword could not and did not want to delay. He urged Adam on, wanting to see the so-called Innate Dao Body as soon as possible.
Adam did not take Desolate Sword directly to the Vernal Manor. Revealing the Thirteen Heaven-Shattering Swords today had already been a forced move. He truly did not want to expose anything more.
He brought Desolate Sword to a spot outside the city, then returned to the Vernal Manor alone.
Cecilia still had not woken from her deep sleep. Adam roused her, and disregarding her groggy state, brought her before Desolate Sword.
"Senior Desolate Sword, this is Cecilia, the Innate Dao Body I mentioned."
Desolate Sword looked at Cecilia as though gazing upon a peerless, rare treasure.
However, the Innate Dao Body had always been a legendary physique. Even though he had roamed Silver Willow dynasty unhindered for a full century, such a physique existed only in the pages of ancient texts. He had never once seen one with his own eyes.
Seeing the doubt in Desolate Sword’s gaze, Adam spoke up. "Senior Desolate Sword, the Innate Dao Body is naturally close to the Great Dao. Its comprehension is monstrous, and its cultivation speed is extremely fast."
"If you do not believe me, perform your unique sword technique in front of Cecilia. With her Innate Dao Body, she only needs to see it once to learn ninety percent of it."
Right! Ancient texts recorded that the Innate Dao Body was the darling of the Great Dao. Realms that ordinary people found difficult to break through, and cultivation methods that were difficult to practice, the Innate Dao Body could cultivate to extremely profound levels with ease.
"Young lady, I have a sword strike named Heaven and Earth Share the Same Lifespan. Watch carefully."
Following Adam’s suggestion, Desolate Sword executed a supreme sword technique he had never before revealed to the world in front of Cecilia.
"Cecilia, perform this Heaven and Earth Share the Same Lifespan once more in front of Senior Desolate Sword."
Seeing that Desolate Sword had finished, Adam told Cecilia to execute it.
Cecilia was still in a daze, not knowing what had happened, but since Adam told her to do it, she could only comply.
Desolate Sword stared fixedly at the longsword in Cecilia’s hand, terrified of missing a single variation in the stances.
The more he watched, the more horrified he felt.
By the time Cecilia finished, his heart was churning like stormy seas, kicking up monstrous waves.
Heaven and Earth Share the Same Lifespan was a peerless ultimate technique he had spent twenty full years in secluded cultivation to create.
Although he had never revealed it, Desolate Sword never doubted its power.
This sword strike encompassed his entire understanding of the Sword Dao. It was obscure and profound. Even among the Heaven’s Chosen of the Sword Sect, few could hope to learn it.
He never expected that this girl, after merely watching it once, could display ninety percent of the strike’s true charm.
If she studied it a few more times, she would likely surpass her master and forge her own Sword Dao entirely.
It truly is the Innate Dao Body. Such comprehension is world-shaking, simply inconceivable.
Based solely on this, Desolate Sword could definitively assert that Adam was not lying. This girl absolutely possessed the Innate Dao Body.
"Senior Desolate Sword, do you still have doubts in your heart?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
"If Senior still harbors suspicions, I can have Cecilia cultivate for a while in front of you, and Senior can confirm it once more."
"Ancient texts record that the Innate Dao Body is born with all one hundred and eight acupoints fully open, resulting in extremely fast cultivation speed."
"Senior can check whether Cecilia’s one hundred and eight acupoints are naturally fully open."
Hearing Adam’s teasing, Desolate Sword hurriedly waved his hand. "No need, no need. This level of comprehension alone does not merely crown the entirety of Silver Willow dynasty. Even in the massive Vast Azure Region, there might not be a peerless Heaven’s Chosen who can compare with her."
"For my Sword Sect to take in such a Heaven’s Chosen disciple, we will surely prosper in the future. Even if it is not an Innate Dao Body, it is still the great fortune of my Sword Sect."
"Senior Desolate Sword, your words are mistaken. With the full support and cultivation of the Sword Sect, Cecilia will definitely become a figure of great importance in the future."
Just as the two were complimenting each other, a faint, melancholic voice rang out.
"The Sword Sect taking a disciple! Young Master... are you abandoning Cecilia?
