Free Web NovelChapter 1892: Chapter 1659: Humility
"Sword Dao, the Sword Dao that exists within sword skills... Sword Dao, my Sword Dao is madness—one word, ’mad’!" The Sword Mad World Emperor seemed to gain some insight, muttering under his breath, then suddenly burst into loud laughter. "Little brother, with one sentence you’ve woken a man from his dream!"
"I may love the sword, but the Sword Dao I cultivate is ’madness’. Xialing Saint’s Sword Dao is completely incompatible with mine, yet I kept trying to comprehend her Sword Dao. I’ve taken the wrong path, taken the wrong path indeed." The Sword Mad World Emperor shook his head again and again.
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Lord Realm Emperor, one should use Sword Dao to create and comprehend sword skills; everyone has a different path to walk. But if you draw on the strengths of many, then realize and lock onto your own Dao, there’s no harm in that for yourself." "Good, well said. Although Xia Ling Saint and I do not walk the same road, we both excel in the sword. Over these years, watching and comprehending her Sword Dao, I’ve also gained some insight, but I got stuck in a dead end. My Sword Dao is ’madness’; I should walk my own Sword Dao." The Sword Mad World Emperor
sighed with emotion.
Saints are the faith of all powerhouses in the Star Sky Alliance. The Star Sky Alliance has gathered countless powerhouses from the Taiyin Universe, yet in several million years, only four Saints have been born, including the Alliance Hierarch of the Star Sky Alliance.
Thus, many people want to follow in the footsteps of the strong, raise their own strength, and hope to become new Saints like them.
After Lin Moxin rose, he understood one truth: the path of those before is a success that cannot be copied. To truly become a Saint, one must learn from the experience of others, and strive to carve out a path that belongs to oneself. Since even the Sword Mad World Emperor affirmed this so clearly, the others were all the more curious as they looked at Lin Mo, wondering where this freak had popped out from, to actually comprehend the swordsmanship left behind by Xialing Saint during her Boundary General period, and then, after discussing it with the Sword Mad World Emperor, the Realm
Emperor Lord actually acknowledged his line of thought. In the Star Sky Alliance, the Sword Mad World Emperor’s obsession with Sword Dao is known to all. Among Realm Emperor Level powerhouses, the Sword Mad World Emperor is a figure who can rank near the top. He is especially skilled in Sword Dao; the sword is the number one killing Martial Arts. Even some Realm Emperors whose strength ranks above the Sword Mad
World Emperor are unwilling to lightly provoke this Madman.
"I really didn’t expect Mr. Lin to have such extraordinary Talent in Sword Dao." Ling Tong’s eyes widened as she spoke with a smile.
"In the Stone Forest, those who can comprehend Xia Ling Venerable’s swordsmanship are fewer than ten fingers can count. And someone like him, who can comprehend it in one go, is even rarer. I wonder how far this guy can walk in the future?" Dong Xu also sighed with emotion.
Yu Haichao said nothing; his face was just very red and burning hot, as if someone had slapped him hard.
Around them, quite a few people who hadn’t been familiar with Lin Mo to begin with were also discussing in low voices. Very quickly, someone mentioned that Lin Mo had once beaten up the tiger-head man in the Law Tower and offended Duke Yaoyang, and only then did the people nearby suddenly realize. Two years ago, when Lin Mo had just arrived at the Star Sky Alliance and gone to the Law Tower, he directly beat up the tiger-head man guarding the Law Tower. At the time, quite a few people in the Boundary General Area saw it with their own eyes, and the disturbance spread for a while. However, Duke Yaoyang never retaliated, and Lin Mo had
returned to Earth for two years, so this matter had already been forgotten.
"So it was him. Daring to offend Duke Yaoyang the moment he arrived—he really does have some backing."
"He’s probably the sharpest one among this batch of geniuses."
"I heard that in this batch of new Boundary Generals, there’s also a guy called Lord Tao, also a ruthless one. Seems like last year, because of Cultivation, he offended two people at the Intermediate Region General Area Realm, and directly beat those two till they were bedridden for several months."
Lin Mo ignored the whispers around him. Instead, he picked up a tree branch, glanced at it and said, "I want to test whether my sword skill can break hers!"
The Sword Mad World Emperor was stunned when he heard those words.
Lin Mo paid no attention to the gazes of those around him. True Yuan surged from within his body, condensing into a hazy, graceful female figure before him, a Longsword of True Yuan in her hand.
Lin Mo squeezed his palm, likewise condensing his True Yuan into a treasure sword.
Whoosh!
The hazy woman condensed from True Yuan thrust out with the Longsword in her hand. The sword skill flowed like an unbroken stream of water, full of lingering affection, yet hidden within was layer upon layer of killing intent. Its meaning was boundless; when the sword light grew ethereal it was like fluttering butterflies, and when it turned fierce it was like heaven-sent Cold Light.
It was Xia Ling Venerable’s sword skill!
Facing the incoming sword light that circled him like Flowing Light, with no room to dodge, Lin Mo flicked the Longsword in his hand. A peerlessly beautiful sword light, like the Bright Moon itself, forcibly tore open the tide-like sword light and hacked out a path of survival.
Their two sword lights shone as their figures flashed back and forth.
The people around were dumbfounded. This kind of sword skill clash didn’t have any great spectacle—no casual splitting of mountains and cracking of rocks, no cleaving of the sky and chopping of the sea. The main focus was the pure contest of sword skills. That mysterious exchange of sword skills left many people staring in a daze.
The Sword Mad World Emperor was stupefied, watching the two figures dart about, all kinds of fierce sword skills making his heart pound.
The sword skills created by Xialing Saint during her Boundary General period contained joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—at times like a raging storm, at times clingy and lingering, at times changing unpredictably, making it hard to find the trajectory of the Sword Marks.
Headache!
A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea—sometimes blue sky and white clouds, not a cloud in sight, and then suddenly a storm, impossible to grasp.
When such moods are used in Sword Dao and sword skills, it becomes all the more unfathomable.
Lin Mo was forced to retreat rapidly, gradually falling into disadvantage, showing signs that he might be defeated at any moment.
"Melancholy Mist Rain Sword!" Lin Mo uttered a low shout. The Longsword of True Yuan in his hand grew hazy, the sword light flickering, not fierce, yet like rainwater, continuous and endless, with Zhou Tian sword light encircling, permeating every gap.
The sword skill was ever-changing, and carried a thick sense of sorrow and grief, which even many Cultivators standing around could feel—their hearts welled up with sudden sadness.
Women are comparatively more emotional. Ling Tong, Su Xue, and the others felt it even more than the men; their eyes turned red, as if touched by the melancholy and heartache contained in Lin Mo’s sword skill.
"Good kid, he actually used his own Sword Dao to create a sword skill." The Sword Mad World Emperor clicked his tongue in astonishment.
"Break!"
As soon as Lin Mo’s sword skill was unleashed, the other figure was instantly suppressed.
Then, like a thousand troops and ten thousand horses, it broke through the other figure’s sword skill. With one sword, it pierced through the chest of the figure condensed from True Yuan, and the figure scattered and vanished.
He broke Xialing Saint’s sword skill?
Even though it was a sword skill Xialing Saint had comprehended during her Boundary General period, Lin Mo was only Star Domain Level!
One shocked gaze after another converged on Lin Mo, all somewhat incredulous. Even the Sword Mad World Emperor’s hands were trembling slightly, his eyes bulging like copper bells as he looked at Lin Mo like a Monster. Just now, Lin Mo had only comprehended Xialing Saint’s sword skill; at this moment, he had actually used his own sword skill to break Xialing Saint’s sword skill
.
In the Star Sky Alliance, no one has ever been able to break through the sword skill Xialing Saint left from her Boundary General period while at the Boundary General Level.
It’s likely that it won’t be long before Lin Mo’s name completely spreads throughout the Boundary General Area.
"Good lad, you actually managed to break Xialing Saint’s sword skill." The Sword Mad World Emperor laughed heartily. "Even if it’s the sword skill Xialing Saint left during her Boundary General period, no one in the entire Star Sky Alliance has been able to do that." The treasure sword condensed from True Yuan in Lin Mo’s hand turned into Light Points and dissipated. Smiling, he said, "I only comprehended less than one-third of the sword skill’s essence. I could Copy it out to fight me. If Xia Ling Venerable truly displayed it herself, this kind of method of breaking the whole with a single point wouldn’t work."
The wonderful story continues tomorrow.
