Chapter 297: 182 Let me ask you, is this sword cool or not? (Asking for monthly votes! Those who have monthly votes, please cast one!)

Li Yixi watched as her teacher ostentatiously displayed the Sword Control Technique in front of her.

She showed a sad but polite expression.

"Teacher, that’s too much!"

"Really too much."

"Picking on me because I’m a newbie and don’t know better, right?"

"Showing off your skills..."

Li Yixi: "Forget it, forget it, you’re my teacher. I shouldn’t say the last two words. I must respect and honor the teachings!"

Qin Hao, too, noticed that Li Yixi felt unreconciled.

At this moment, with a step, he trod upon the void and ascended to the eaves of the Heavenly Master Mansion.

Qin Hao, dressed in green robes, stood with one hand behind his back.

He said to Li Yixi, "Disciple, come up here."

Li Yixi watched her teacher and also levitated upward.

Standing side by side with Qin Hao.

Qin Hao glanced at this girl.

The first time they met was more than two years ago on a plane in Korea.

And now, Li Yixi was twelve years old.

This clever girl had deep roots in the Taoist ways.

Due to her high talent and because practicing hardly required any effort on her part,

Qin Hao was quite satisfied with his disciple.

But the only issue was that this girl tended to slack off intermittently.

After diligently practicing for a while, she would reward herself with a few days of rest.

She was absolutely a reward sister.

To ignite her spirit of hard practice,

Qin Hao opened his palm.

The next second,

"Clang!"

From behind Li Yixi, the Taia Sword issued a resonant hum and then unsheathed and flew out,

directly into Qin Hao’s hand.

Qin Hao held the Taia Sword.

He said, "Yixi, as your teacher, I let you practice the Sword Dao and Swordsmanship for so long, but do you really understand what the Sword Dao and Swordsmanship are?"

Currently, Li Yixi, despite constantly practicing Swordsmanship and Sword Dao, and having made some progress with her talent,

was still following the path laid out by Qin Hao.

Li Yixi, now practicing the Flying Sword Skill and Swordsmanship, was training, but it was always in a confused state.

She didn’t really understand what Sword Dao, or Swordsmanship, was.

So now, Qin Hao was giving guidance to his disciple,

to let her understand what she was doing.

Li Yixi shook her head in confusion.

Qin Hao raised the Taia Sword in his hand.

He asked her to look at the Taia Sword.

Qin Hao said, "Sword Dao, Sword Dao, the so-called Sword Dao is to take the sword as the path. What is a sword? An old proverb states: ’The spear reigns supreme among all weapons, the sword rules over them as monarch!’

What is a monarch? In one aspect, a monarch stands above ten thousand people, holding the supreme power of life and death,

representing the utmost authority.

On the other hand, a monarch is sincere and upright! The Heaven and Earth’s Righteous Qi and integrity converge within one who is a righteous noble; this coincides exactly with how our Taoist ways handle matters.

Remember, what you hold in your hand is not just a sword, but a gentleman. Your Sword Dao is both the path of righteousness and the path of the gentleman!

Only if your heart is righteous will your Sword Dao be righteous! And only if your Sword Dao is righteous will your practice of righteous Swordsmanship be twice as effective; otherwise, you won’t achieve much! The Sword Dao I want you to cultivate is this path of righteousness."

Qin Hao continued, "A great man stands between Heaven and Earth, with a righteous heart for all, paving the way for people! With such an opportunity to glimpse the immortal ways, you must cherish it. ’Nature thrives through fortitude, and the gentleman continuously strengthens himself without relenting!’

The Sword Dao values diligence, and even with the best talent, intermittent effort will ultimately fail to amount to greatness. Between Heaven and Earth, how many geniuses rise like comets only to vanish like meteors, their brilliance brief.

Throughout history, only those who continuously learn, who labour diligently to improve themselves, can stand at the pinnacle forever. Otherwise, no matter how great the talent, it’s just a fleeting brilliance."

Qin Hao said this, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Yixi.

He asked, "Disciple, do you want to know what the true righteous Swordsmanship of our Taoist ways is like?"

Seeing Li Yixi’s slightly stunned expression from his words,

Qin Hao smiled faintly.

Then, he held the Taia Sword.

Facing the vast undulating sea of clouds in front of the Heavenly Master Mansion at dawn,

Qin Hao swung his sword.

The Taia Sword gently traced through the air.

A terrifyingly powerful Sword Qi and Sword Intent swiftly condensed and surged forth.

"Whoosh!"

A nearly solidified Sword Qi pierced into the nine layers of clouds.

Under Li Yixi’s gaze,

Qin Hao’s Sword Qi, astonishingly, split into three mid-air.

One Qi to Three Pure!

Three streams of unmitigated Sword Qi sliced through the vast sea of clouds in three different directions.

The Heavenly Master’s single sword

sent Sword Qi soaring thirty thousand miles, a sword so cold it froze nineteen states!

The terrifying Sword Qi had not dissipated even a thousand miles away.

It directly split the sea of clouds in two.

Breaking through to reveal the morning sun!

As the Sword Qi split the sea of clouds,

the first ray of morning light finally pierced through the clouds and shone down,

falling upon Qin Hao.

Qin Hao returned the sword to Li Yixi’s back.

"Disciple, this Swordsmanship of mine is called One Qi to Three Pure. Tell me, isn’t it impressive?"

Qin Hao added, "Are you stunned, dear disciple? Just say it’s impressive and that’s it."

At this moment, Li Yixi was indeed struck dumb.

Is there such a Swordsmanship in this world?

One sword to split the nine layers of clouds, and she even felt that if her teacher’s sword had not been aimed at the sea of clouds but at the firmament,

probably this one sword could have created a crack in the heavens.

Oh no, three cracks!

Li Yixi nodded, "Impressive! Incredibly impressive!"

It wasn’t just about being impressive anymore; it was extraordinarily impressive.

Even if Li Yixi was a girl without the typical boyish fascination with martial heroes and Sword Dao.
