Chapter 419 Jian Wuqing - Mei Yun

Hill near Xia Manor - The next morning

"Why are you two here?" Jian Wuqing, who was watching Ling Chen practice, asked the two women who had just landed beside her.

"Senior, can you teach us about the way of the sword?"

Jian Wuqing raised her eyebrows and turned to them; she then observed them in turn for some time before she answered. "To be honest, your sword energy is much more sturdy and refined than your twin sister's; it's just that your experience is too low. If you want to become a true sword master, then you must constantly improve your combat experience. Because the pinnacle of the way of the sword cannot be reached by just practicing; and you have to keep fighting enemies to hone it."

"I have to continue to fight against the enemy?" Mei Yun muttered to herself; during this time, she indeed rarely fought with enemies, and she spent most of her time only practicing swords.

Mei Yin then asked. "What do you mean by my sword energy being softer and not refined like my sister's, senior?"

Jian Wuqing softly sighed and explained. "The way of the sword is divided into several types as well as one's sword energy, and your sword energy is too soft compared to your twin sister's, so you won't be able to reach your full potential if you practice the same sword technique as her. If your sister's sword energy represents destructive power, then your sword energy represents gentleness. As for me, my sword energy represents both, but I managed to achieve both after I practiced for thousands of years, and I've always been fighting enemies for that long."

"Thousands of years?" The Mei twins gasped at that; they didn't recognize Jian Wuqing's true identity, so they didn't know that she was a cultivator of the supreme realm, and she even got to stand toe-to-toe with Long Tian.

Mei Yun took a deep breath and asked. "Then what about Xia Tian? How strong is he?"

"Xia Tian, huh?" Jian Wuqing then looked up at the sky and recalled all her fights with Long Tian in the past, and the Mei twins could see that her gaze was filled with deep longing. Soon after, she softly sighed and said. "Xia Tian is the strongest swordsman I have ever faced, and I have fought him 1000 times. Even though I have won from him 499 times, I have never enjoyed my victory, not even once, because he was never serious when he fought against me. Unfortunately, the current Xia Tian is not the past him, and his current strength is still far below his former peak."

Mei Yin was confused by the meaning of Jian Wuqing's words, as she did not know that Xia Tian was Long Tian, and that he was the strongest in the past. As for Mei Yun, ever since she met Xia Tian for the first time, she could already feel that he was far deeper than what he showed people.

Jian Wuqing then touched Mei Yin's forehead and passed a sword technique to her, as she said. "The name of that sword technique is Cloud Sword Technique; it is the first sword technique I created thousands of years ago, and it suits you very well."

After receiving the sword technique, Mei Yun immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, and she began to digest the sword technique.

"As for you, Xia Tian already gave you something, right?" Mei Yun simply nodded to her; Jian Wuqing then said it again. "You just need to learn them seriously; if you manage to master everything well, I'm sure you will become the best swordsman in this world."

Mei Yun nodded in understanding, and she then curiously asked. "Senior, can you tell me about Xia Tian's true identity? How do you know him? Moreover, you've lived for thousands of years, and he's still only 18 years old, let alone that you've fought him hundreds of times."

"It seems that you are like those women; they also have their attraction towards him." Mei Yun felt embarrassed to hear that. She was indeed attracted to Xia Tian, but she felt that it wasn't love. "To be honest, he is my role model in the way of the sword, and I have always aspired to be as strong as him."

"Hmm?" Mei Yun was confused by his words, it was obvious that Jian Wuqing was older and more powerful than Xia Tian, yet she had said that he was her role model in the way of the sword. Before long, she realized something. "That means he is-"

"Yes." Jian Wuqing nodded and explained it to her. "Xia Tian is the reincarnation of my old friend, Long Tian, and he also has his past memories. Moreover, he was the strongest Immortal in the past, so you no longer need to be surprised if his sword energy of killing intent is extremely strong."

Mei Yun fell into a daze after hearing that, she already guessed that Xia Tian's identity was very mysterious, but she didn't expect that he was the reincarnation of an old monster, let alone the strongest immortal. "So immortals and higher worlds do exist?"

"Oh? You know about immortals and higher worlds?" Jian Wuqing was quite surprised to hear that.

Mei Yun nodded. "I once read some of the ancient scrolls that I found in the ancient ruins, though I couldn't fully understand them because I didn't know the language barrier. But I did find some things from the scrolls, and some of them were about immortals and higher worlds."

"I see." Jian Wuqing nodded in understanding. "Immortals and higher worlds do exist, and this Seven Star World is one of the worlds in the lower realm. As for me and Long Tian, we came from a supreme realm called the Immortal Realm."

"No wonder you guys are so strong." Mei Yun muttered softly.

"You're wrong about that." Jian Wuqing shook her head at her before she explained. "In fact, the Immortal Realm is not too different from this Seven Star World; there are too many weak cultivators there. However, there are also too many powerfull cultivators, and they are just as strong as me. Anyway, if you want to know about Long Tian and his past, then you can ask him directly because I have no right to talk about that. And one more thing, you can learn the way of the sword from him, because he is the most suitable person to teach you."

"Alright, thank you, senior." Mei Yun cupped her hands and left the place right after.

Jian Wuqing watched her leave with a shake of the head. 'You never change, Old Friend. Wherever you go, those women are always captivated by you directly or indirectly.'

My other novels

1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.

2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.

3. Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
