Chapter 1327 Classification of True Interpretations (Part 2)

He had been exposed to the True Interpretation comprehended by his ancestor since childhood and knew it well—like flowing water, continuous and unbroken. The one the other party comprehended carried an overwhelming momentum, unstoppable... Clearly completely incompatible, yet in the blink of an eye, the other party's body gave rise to the same sword intent as his ancestor?

Moreover, it was rising rapidly, feeling as if it was breaking through to a True Interpretation?

Buzz buzz buzz!

Just as he was wondering, the disciples around him who wore swords felt their long swords tremble incessantly, then all hummed together, flew out of their sheaths, fell to the ground, and prostrated themselves.

Breaking through to a True Interpretation...

His body swayed, and Jian Qinsheng's throat went dry.

Under normal circumstances, comprehending a True Interpretation would receive the blessing of heaven and earth. In an instant, any sword not of a higher rank than oneself would submit on the spot, powerless to resist.

This person before him had already comprehended a True Interpretation earlier, and now he was breaking through again. Could it be... he had comprehended two different True Interpretations?

One True Interpretation could trap countless people, making it difficult for them to make progress in their entire lives. This guy was only twenty years old, yet he had comprehended two in succession...

Most crucially, just after he said it was impossible to comprehend another, the other party broke through... Wasn't this slapping him in the face too quickly?

His lips trembled, his face pale. Jian Qinsheng felt that the entire world he had known was collapsing.

Starting sword practice at three, comprehending lower sword heart at seventeen, upper sword heart at forty-six, and True Interpretation at sixty-three... His life, which seemed like a cheat, appeared as pale as paper before the other party, and he couldn't even muster the desire to compare.

A True Interpretation like the teacher's?

Shui Qianrou's delicate body also trembled.

The other party seemed not even to know what the teacher's True Interpretation was before coming, and now, just by talking, he broke through...

She had been training under the teacher for several years and had only learned the basics. The other party could break through just by chatting...

She was so struck that she couldn't speak.

Whoosh!

Unaware of everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan's aura retracted, and he opened his eyes.

Without hesitation this time, he strode toward the character "Sword" before him. Moments later, he reached it, and as his finger touched it, the entire character seemed to pulse, as if it would break through the air at any moment.

Alright, senior... Have I gained recognition like this?

Turning to look at Jian Qinsheng not far away, Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

This... Yes!

His mouth twitching, Jian Qinsheng quickly nodded.

Even the ancestor's "Sword" character acknowledged him, eager to follow him... How could he not pass?

That's good then...

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing Jian Qinsheng say that one could also comprehend a second sword path True Interpretation, he absorbed the various contents under the "Sword" character into his mind.

It must be said that those who could leave characters here had almost all reached the level of True Interpretation. Although few in number, their words were incisive. After collecting them, he easily condensed the Heavenly Dao technique.

With the experience of breaking through to a True Interpretation the first time, the second time was easier, hence so fast.

The Sword Book Pavilion is right here. I'll open it now...

Arriving at the corner, Jian Qinsheng gently pushed, and the wall before him slowly slid to both sides, revealing a doorway.

Thank you. I have some doubts that require verification from many books. I'll come out after reading...

His eyes lighting up, Zhang Xuan explained and stepped inside.

It must be said that this Sword Book Pavilion indeed contained many sword technique manuals, likely gathered over countless years to form such a collection.

Taking a deep breath, he looked around.

Every book his eyes landed on was copied into the library, row upon row, neatly arranged.

He moved forward while collecting.

Hmm? Flowing Water Sword Art?

After a while, he suddenly stopped.

On a bookshelf at the very back, there was actually a manual for the Flowing Water Sword Art.

After thinking, he understood. This was the Saint Son Hall, a place of inheritance for the Jian family. Those who entered had passed recognition and assessment. It was perfectly normal for the most important manuals to be placed here.

Absorbing it into his mind, he tapped lightly.

Flowing Water Sword Art: sword intent like flowing water, continuous and unbroken; sword energy fine and dense; defense invincible. Created by the third hall master of the Saint Son Hall, Jian Liushui. It is a type of sword path True Interpretation. Weaknesses: ...

Quite a few flaws too...

He shook his head.

It must be said that this Flowing Water Sword Art was indeed very powerful, somewhat similar to the Heavenly Dao Sword Art, but of a higher level and greater power.

His current Heavenly Dao Sword Art was only pieced together to the middle grade of the Saint Domain. At the same level, its power was strong, but compared to upper-grade martial techniques, it still fell short.

Although the Flowing Water Sword Art had many flaws, its level surpassed the middle grade of the Saint Domain, even the upper grade. If he could learn it, his combat power would definitely skyrocket!

It was like a city-defense crossbow versus a crossbow arrow. Both had the same principle, the latter even more ingenious, but in terms of power, the former was far superior, incomparable.

He continued reading.

This sword art demands extremely high eyesight!

Flowing Water Sword Art: sword energy like flowing water.

This required extremely delicate sword intent. The first point was eyesight far beyond ordinary. Without the Eye of Insight, it was nearly impossible to cultivate to great completion.

No wonder Shui Qianrou said that apart from Hall Master Liushui, no descendant had succeeded in this sword art. It was probably not due to lack of effort or talent, but... poor eyesight!

Being able to become the hall master of the Saint Son Hall, like himself, possessing the Eye of Insight, Hall Master Jian Liushui could create such a formidable sword technique. Unfortunately, most subsequent hall masters were not adept with the sword, so this sword art was buried, its inheritance severed.

Although Jian Qinsheng, as a descendant, had learned it, without the support of the Eye of Insight, his so-called Flowing Water Sword Art was crude and vulgar, no wonder it couldn't be promoted.

Let's see if I can piece together the Heavenly Dao technique and then learn it!

He had the Eye of Insight, which was just right, so he could give it a try.

With that thought, Zhang Xuan hesitated no more and continued reading. After more than ten minutes, all the over a hundred thousand sword technique manuals in the room had entered his mind.

First, try to see if I can piece together the cultivation method for the Three Swords of Lingxu... Correct!

Taking out the technique for the Three Swords of Lingxu and placing it together with the many books, Zhang Xuan focused his mind.

The main purpose of coming here was this; try it first.

Whoosh!

A book appeared before him.

He quickly opened it, then frowned.

Only one sword move supplemented?

The Three Swords of Lingxu contained three sword moves: One Sword Breaks the Sea, One Sword Vast Ocean, and One Sword Soars to the Sky!

These three moves were each more powerful than the last. Although he was only at the early stage of the Out-of-Body Realm, if he could execute One Sword Soars to the Sky, he could fight even a peak Domain Realm expert, or even an early Saint Domain seventh level powerhouse!

That was why Sword Elder had been able to dominate the Ten Thousand Nations Alliance back then, unstoppable.

This Sword Book Pavilion had over a hundred thousand sword technique manuals. He had thought that by collecting them all, he could fully supplement the three swords and slowly cultivate them. But unexpectedly, only the first move was supplemented.

Still, it was terrifying enough.

The Three Swords of Lingxu was a sword formation. Just this first move, Breaks the Sea, had a full three hundred and sixty flaws. Without so many books, it would have taken who knows how long to supplement it completely.

Although One Sword Vast Ocean and One Sword Soars to the Sky were not complete, their flaws were greatly reduced... fewer than ten in total. It would be easier to supplement them later!

He smiled lightly.

The remaining two swords, though not yet cultivable, had significantly fewer flaws. It would be much simpler to piece together the Heavenly Dao level later.

True Interpretations indeed have classifications. What Hall Master Jian Liushui comprehended was the defense of the sword, like flowing water, continuous, cyclical, never breaking. What Sword Elder comprehended was offense, decisive killing, a single thrust like a formation diagram, unstoppable...

Countless knowledge flowed, and he understood many things.

Jian Qinsheng was right: True Interpretations were divided into many types. The Flowing Water Sword Art was defense in sword techniques, while the Three Swords of Lingxu was offense, completely different.

Logically, besides defense and offense, there should be True Interpretations of agility and speed...

These contents were introduced in a book left by Jian Liushui. Because there were so many books here, he wouldn't have found it if he hadn't collected them into the library.

Perhaps Jian Qinsheng hadn't found it either, so he only knew that True Interpretations were classified... but not what the classifications were.

Try the Flowing Water Sword Art!

After trying the Lingxu Sword, Zhang Xuan focused his mind, and all the defensive sword technique manuals gathered together.

Whoosh!

Similarly, a new book appeared. He tapped it, and knowledge flowed into his sea of consciousness.

Can be cultivated...

His eyes lit up.

In this Sword Book Pavilion, there weren't many offensive sword path techniques, but defensive ones were vast as the ocean, making it very easy to condense the Heavenly Dao technique for the Flowing Water Sword Art.

It seemed that many of Jian Qinsheng's ancestors cultivated defensive sword techniques, so they put more effort into this area.

Practice this first!

With the technique, Zhang Xuan was too lazy to wander around. He found a spot in the pavilion and sat down to begin learning.

Flowing Water Sword Art, as the name implies, is to cultivate the sword technique to be as delicate as flowing water, continuous and unending.

Once mastered, defense would be nearly invincible, even more terrifying than a domain!

The Heavenly Dao technique flowed in his mind. Zhang Xuan's concentration grew more intense. The true qi in his body, accompanied by his will, formed small swords that shuttled back and forth around him.

He had long been able to transform true qi into swords. The hardest part of the Flowing Water Sword Art was converting this true qi into sword intent defense, impenetrable.

With the Heavenly Dao technique and the Eye of Insight, after an hour, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and stood up.

After intense cultivation, the Heavenly Dao level Flowing Water Sword Art had reached great completion.

There were books everywhere here, so he couldn't test it. But through cultivation, he knew its power. Once executed, even a peak Domain Realm expert couldn't break through its defense. Even an early Saint Domain seventh level expert would find it hard to harm him!

His eyes shone.

His biggest weakness was defense. Being knocked back bleeding by his brother-in-law's punch showed the flaw.

Now, with this sword art, if Luo Xuanqing came again, even if he still couldn't win, at least he wouldn't be injured by a single punch.

Moreover, as his strength increased, his defense would grow stronger, greatly enhancing his survival means.
