I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master-Chapter 166 - One-Word Sword Principle!

Successful sword cultivators should pay attention to the details.

That should be what Senior meant.

Lou Hongzhi deeply agreed.

Indeed, if one did not pay attention to many details when laying the foundation, mistakes would accumulate more and more. In the end, a thousand-mile-long dike would collapse in an ant’s nest.

By then, it would be too late.

Lou Hongzhi recalled that Senior had asked him to cut firewood.

When the two things were combined, Lou Hongzhi suddenly understood.

Senior was teaching him the way to practice the sword.

Chopping wood to practice techniques and mentality, calligraphy to practice Sword Intent and strength.

The light in Lou Hongzhi’s eyes became brighter and brighter.

He was like a person who was eager for knowledge, greedily and devoutly accepting Liu Changgong’s guidance.

And the admiration and respect in his heart for Liu Changgong also became as vast as the sky.

Liu Changgong’s mouth was dry and his tongue was parched.

But when he saw Lou Hongzhi’s eyes shining and nodding non-stop, he didn’t know whether Lou Hongzhi really understood or just pretended to understand.

After all, when he was in school, it wasn’t like there weren’t any classmates who looked very diligent, but in fact, they were completely blank.

After thinking about it, Liu Changgong decided to let Lou Hongzhi practice the basic skills first.

If Lou Hongzhi couldn’t even pass the basic skills, Lou Hongzhi wouldn’t have the face to blame himself for not teaching him well.

Liu Changgong wrote a ‘one’ seriously on the paper.

He said to Lou Hongzhi:

“Your foundation is not very good, you start by copying this ‘one’ word of mine.”

“Yes, Teacher.”

After listening to the various problems that Liu Changgong pointed out to him, Lou Hongzhi was now completely convinced and prostrated himself.

His admiration for Liu Changgong had risen to an extreme level.

Looking at the ‘one’ word in front of him, he felt that it was simple and unadorned, but it contained the Supreme Dao.

It looked like an ordinary horizontal slash, but it did not have any stroke peaks and turns. However, it was more capable and refined.

The ‘one’ word was like a swordsman using a sword. The simplest horizontal slash did not seem to have any technique, but if one wanted to strike accurately and quickly, it required hard work.

That small ‘one’ word, however, contained boundless Great Dao.

That small word, in Lou Hongzhi’s eyes, was like a peerless holy sword that could split the Heavens and split the Earth.

It contained Great Dao, stronger than any Sword Dao he had ever seen.

What Sword Dao of Sword Immortal Cheng He? Compared to this one from Senior, it was definitely not worth mentioning.

Lou Hongzhi’s eyes shone with a different light.

He thought to himself:

‘My aptitude is slow. If I want to fully comprehend Senior’s Sword Principle, it’s best to start from comprehending this ‘one’ word that contains the Sword Principle.’

Biting off more than one can chew.

Not to mention completely comprehending the Sword Principle in that ‘one’ word, even if he only understood half of it, Lou Hongzhi felt that his future achievements in Sword Dao were limitless.

Even if he was really too stupid and could only comprehend 10% of that ‘one’ word’s Sword Principle, it was enough for his Sword Principle to rise to a higher level.

The rise of a tall building from the ground was just the beginning.

The most important thing now was to consolidate the foundation and not consider those strange techniques.

Once this idea emerged from Lou Hongzhi’s heart, it was like a wild horse that had run out of its reins, crazily galloping in his mind.

Under his feet, a bright road appeared.

Although there were some places that were even more muddy and bumpy, there was definitely not a road that was wasted.

Lou Hongzhi let out a long breath of turbid air, and his eyes became incomparably determined.

At this moment, he had already decided to completely abandon the Sword Dao that he had previously learned. Abandon it and focus on cultivating the Sword Dao that Senior Liu had taught him.

If ‘one’ did not break, ‘one’ would not stand. The time for a last stand had arrived.

Lou Hongzhi did not dream of reaching Senior Liu’s height. Even if he could only follow by Senior Liu’s side and comprehend the state of mind and attitude of that peerless expert in the world, it would still be of great benefit for him to hone his Dao heart.

Lou Hongzhi picked up the brush and began to copy with incomparable concentration.

Every stroke was more strenuous and more laborious than his sword, but his efforts were not in vain.

As he copied each stroke, a trace of marvelous Sword Intent appeared in his body.

Liu Changgong walked to the corner of the small courtyard. There was a mountain spring flowing down from the mountain, which was led to the small courtyard by the simple canal Liu Changgong dug.

Liu Changgong scooped up a ladle of water from the canal. As he drank, he watched Lou Hongzhi practice calligraphy.

Although Liu Changgong appreciated Lou Hongzhi’s enthusiasm, he understood that calligraphy required talent and comprehension.

“Sigh, taking in such a silly disciple, let him be. Perhaps after practicing for a while more, he will be disheartened and take the initiative to leave.”

Liu Changgong could only let nature take its course.

He was only a mortal, and could not give Lou Hongzhi any constructive suggestions from the perspective of a cultivator.

…

In the familiar Danxia Holy Land.

In the distant clouds, a luxurious flying ship was flying.

Not long after, the flying ship began to slow down, preparing to land.

Yu Hongye stood at the bow of the flying ship. She looked at the Million Mile Immortal Mountain below the clouds, and her eyes revealed traces of reminiscence.

“The last time I attended the Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals with Young Master Liu, I was only Young Master’s fake maid. Now, I have become Young Master Liu’s official wife. Although outsiders don’t know, time really flies.”

In the blink of an eye, the flying boat arrived at the Danxia Holy Land.

Yu Hongye looked at the immortal mountains shrouded in an even more colorful and dazzling light, which was even more magnificent than the last time she came.

Yu Hongye was the Young Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, so she was naturally very familiar with this light.

She widened her eyes and said in surprise, “This is immortal light!”

After Yu Hongye returned from the Danxia Holy Land, she had always stayed by Liu Changgong’s side. Therefore, she was also very familiar with the light of those immortal artifacts.

Looking at the immortal light of the Million Mile Immortal Mountains, she felt that the immortal light seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

She thought hard and recalled everything that happened after she returned from the Convention of Ten Thousand Immortals.

This should be the formation light of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths formation.

However, wasn’t Xia’er the formation spirit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths formation?

Xia’er had already become Young Master Liu’s woman, so it was impossible for her to work for this formation anymore.

How could a formation without a formation spirit emit this kind of immortal light?

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths formation was originally only at the level of the false immortal formation.

Wasn’t it now at the level of the immortal array?

Could it be that the evolution from the false immortal array to the immortal array was that easy?

After thinking for a while, Yu Hongye had a flash of inspiration.

She recalled that when she was chatting with Xia’er, she had heard Xia’er say that she had squeezed the spirit body in Young Master Liu’s painting into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths array, and she had replaced it.

In that case, the current array spirit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths array was created by Young Master Liu!

Thinking of this, Yu Hongye worshipped Liu Changgong even more.

As expected of Senior Liu, Young Master Liu.

He was truly a peerless expert.

He could create an array spirit for that great array with just a casual drawing.

Moreover, he could upgrade the false immortal array to an immortal array.

After Yu Hongye figured this out, she smiled quite proudly.
