Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 999: Secret of the Academy (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations

Fairy Lijiang’s Parting Water Sword Intent was comprehended from the landscape painting, but it was still at a superficial level. It could not even be considered a superficial part of the Water Splitting Sword Technique. Even so, the power of the Parting Water Sword Intent was very strong. It could not be the best in the world, but it was still a top-notch sword intent.

In terms of insight, she could not compare to Shen Ping. However, there must be a teacher among three people. Shen Ping also wanted to see if this outstanding student of Seeping River Academy had a unique understanding of the five paintings.

Fairy Lijiang said gently, “I can’t say that it’s an insight, but it’s a little superficial. The scenery of these five diagrams should be an interpretation of the sword intent and the sword Dao. My comprehension is average, and I still can’t understand the deeper sword intent. However, I have some attainments in painting techniques. If you don’t consider the sword intent and the sword dao, these five diagrams seem to be a little special from the lines and the degree of water grinding.”

Shen Ping was stunned.

Fairy Lijiang continued, “In my opinion, the senior who left these five diagrams might want to interpret the sword technique from another angle.”

When she said that, the five diagrams in front of Shen Ping flashed in his mind. He had never paid attention to the lines, water mills, or the scenery of the paintings before. With his realm, he could see the true essence of the sword dao revealed by the mountains and rivers at a glance. But when he heard the other angle Fairy Lijiang mentioned, it was like lightning flashing in his mind. He felt enlightened.

His drawing skills are not bad either. After this layer of paper was pierced through, the lines of the paintings and the water mills gradually formed unique words under the connection of the Sword Dao. These words were the common language of the Endless World.

“True Book of Dao Origin mystic technique.”

“Taiyi Sword Dao.”

“Half-step Sword Formula.”

There was only the name and no content. Clearly, the rest of the content was in the other paintings.

“I see. This is actually the Sword Dao mystic technique and the supreme half-step sword formula left behind by that mighty figure from the Realm Sea Peak. Only by combining it with the comprehension mystic technique of the True Book of Dao Origin can one understand the first mystic technique, and the Taiyi Sword Dao is used to assist in comprehension and cultivation.

“The last ‘Half-step Sword Formula’ was the supreme Sword Dao that Realm Sea Peak’s Almighty had seen in an unknown realm. It was even stronger than the top Sword Dao he walked. It was only half a word, and the clue of this half word was left in another giant hall world.”

After understanding, Shen Ping could not hide the excitement on his face. The True Book of Dao Origin was a top-notch Great Dao mystic technique. Although there were combat-type mystic techniques inside, they were all used to assist in use. There were no combat-type mystic techniques that could truly unleash the Great Dao.

Up until now, other than the puppet’s own combat-type secret techniques, he did not have a set of Great Dao secret techniques that could truly erupt. And the secret technique of the puppet could only be used by the puppet. He could not use it.

Therefore, if he stepped into the Venerable Sovereign Realm in the future, when he fought other Initial Dao Realm and Dao Origin Realm experts, he could only rely on the power of the Great Dao itself and could not fully use it.

After gathering the four bracelets, one could open the Realm Sea Peak Treasure Vault. Not only were there various resources in the treasure vault, but there were also many Great Dao secret techniques. However, those Great Dao secret techniques could not compare to the Sword Dao secret techniques of this world.

This was because Realm Sea Peak’s main Dao was the Sword Dao.

The Sword Dao itself was good at killing. It was also a top-notch Heaven and Earth Great Dao, and there was also the supreme Sword Dao. Realm Sea Peak’s Almighty relied on this to break through to the Dao Lord realm and rule the endless world.

Shen Ping did not expect Fairy Lijiang to see through his casual question and see through the true secrets of the five paintings.

Noticing Shen Ping’s expression, Fairy Lijiang could not help but ask, “Did Marquis Zhenbei comprehend something?”

Shen Ping came back to his senses and looked at Fairy Lijiang. At this moment, he was in a good mood. “Thank you for your guidance just now. The true secret of those five paintings is indeed not the sword intent and sword dao revealed by the landscape painting, but a sword dao secret technique! And even if I tell you what this secret technique is, you won’t understand.”

Fairy Lijiang blinked. Shen Ping simply used the Water Splitting Sword Technique. The endless sword intent was like a surging river, sometimes violent, sometimes gentle. It was even more like the surging of a large river and the peace of a lake. It could be said that this sword technique had truly displayed the true meaning of the Water Sword Dao.

Fairy Lijiang had never seen such a superb sword intent. She stood rooted to the ground and watched in a daze. Shen Ping ended the demonstration of the Water Splitting Sword Technique, but she did not break free.

From dusk to sunset, when the sunset dyed half the sky, Fairy Lijiang broke free from the various sword intents displayed by the Water Splitting Sword Technique. Her eyes were filled with uncontrollable surprise and excitement. She hurriedly bowed and said, “Thank you, Marquis Zhenbei, for teaching me the sword technique. I have benefited greatly. I wanted to spar with you before, but now it seems that I was far too arrogant. With your attainments in the sword technique, you are far better than me!”

Shen Ping smiled. “Fairy, you don’t have to thank me. This sword technique is the Water Splitting Sword, a type of Sword Dao. Similarly, it’s also a sword technique revealed by landscape painting. Every painting is a sword technique. However, compared to you giving me pointers and allowing me to comprehend a true Sword Dao secret technique, this sword technique is not worth mentioning. When you’re done comprehending the Water Splitting Sword Technique, come and find me.”

Fairy Lijiang immediately understood. She knew that she had wronged Marquis Zhenbei. The other party did not tell her the secret of his comprehension, probably because he was really worried that she could not understand it. After all, the realm of this Water Splitting Sword Technique alone was far beyond what she had learned.
