Chapter 47 Sword Tower
Just as Yao Yun'er said, although Lian Yun did not fully consider himself a part of the Xianjian Sect, he had gained a lot since coming here. He knew that Qiu ChujI would eventually come to understand this point, but he still expressed his thoughts.
However, it was merely his opinion; he did not care for Qiu ChujI's praise and had no intention of delving deeper into the discussion.
Qiu ChujI seemed to understand Lian Yun's mindset. After a moment of silence, he said, "In principle, your contributions to the Sect are immeasurable, and the rewards the Sect should provide you cannot be calculated. Therefore, I have decided to allow you to read the three major legacies of the Sect. Additionally, if you have any needs, the Sect will do its utmost to fulfill them. You may also propose three matters that do not violate the Sect's principles, and the Sect will act on your behalf."
This reward was an addition based on a suggestion from a previous elder, allowing Lian Yun to read the three major legacy texts. For an individual, especially a sword cultivator, this was an invaluable treasure.
Although Lian Yun felt that the reward was excessive and beyond what he could handle, seeing Qiu ChujI's determined gaze made him reluctantly nod in agreement.
He then turned to Yao Yun'er and asked, "Yooner, have you ever read the three major texts?"
"No," Yao Yun'er replied with envy in her eyes.
Lian Yun smiled and said, "Since you've called me Brother Yun several times, I should give my little sister a gift. How about you choose one book that you like first, and then I'll read the other two?"
Although Yao Yun'er had already guessed Lian Yun's intentions, she was still surprised by his words and widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment. She then looked at Elder Mei and Qiu ChujI for help.
Elder Mei smiled gently and said, "This is a matter for your generation; how can we interfere? If you want to read it, go ahead! However, I think if Yooner wants to cultivate, it would be best to practice the Four Seasons Sword Technique."
Qiu ChujI immediately shot him an amused look as if to say he was being disrespectful for an elder. Clearly stating that he shouldn't interfere while simultaneously suggesting that Yao Yun'er practice the Four Seasons Sword Technique was indeed interference.
However, both understood that since Lian Yun had made this decision, it meant that even if he were to cultivate, it would only be for reference. For instance, he might want to understand the demeanor and essence of the Supreme Sword Technique rather than focusing on which sword technique he practiced.
Thus, Lian Yun did not mind; naturally, it would be best for Yao Yun'er to cultivate a sword technique suitable for her.
Yao Yun'er herself felt somewhat dazed. Although she was considered one of the Top Ten Kings and a core disciple of the Sect, access to the three major legacy sword techniques was not something just anyone could obtain.
Basically, only those in positions such as the Sect Master or Grand Elder could practice those three Great Sword Techniques.
While Yao Yun'er longed to cultivate one of those sword techniques, receiving such an opportunity so easily made her feel uneasy.
After a moment of contemplation, Yao Yun'er stubbornly declared, "I don't want it! Some things aren't meaningful if they aren't earned through effort. Besides, it's just a sword technique; Brother Xiao will surely create even better sword techniques for me in the future."
Hmm, I didn't expect that Yao Yun'er, who seems so cheerful, would actually be this stubborn.
Both Elder Mei and Qiu ChujI were somewhat surprised by Yao Yun'er's attitude, while Xiao Jun, who had been in quiet meditation, couldn't help but open his eyes and smile lightly.
Lian Yun, on the other hand, did not push her and instead grew fonder of this sister who called him Brother Yun.
It should be noted that while Lian Yun could also be this persistent, he rarely did so. His time was truly limited, so whenever someone offered him exactly what he needed, he would accept it and then return the favor tenfold.
"Brother Yun, you’re not angry, are you?" After her stubbornness, Yao Yun'er asked cautiously.
"No, if you don’t like it, then I’ll just give you something you prefer next time!" Lian Yun replied with a slight smile.
"Hehe!"
Qiu ChujI and Elder Mei had matters to attend to and didn’t want to disturb the young ones, so they took their leave. Afterward, Yao Yun'er also prepared to leave to practice at the Sword Tower.
Lian Yun had long been interested in the Sword Tower where Yao Yun'er spent hours almost every day. Since he had some free time now, he decided to accompany her. They arrived at the base of an ancient tower with eighteen levels.
The Sword Tower was likely one of the most popular training grounds of the Xianjian Sect. When Lian Yun arrived, he saw three or four hundred elite disciples outside the tower.
However, Yao Yun'er exclaimed, "Huh! Why are there so few people today? Oh, I understand."
Her self-talk made Lian Yun chuckle a bit; he understood what she meant. It was probably because many people had gone to practice the Ten Thousand Swords Classic.
"Brother Yun, our Sword Tower is quite interesting. After the Sect built the tower, it purchased some special permissions and devices from Yin Yang City. Then Elder Gu infused Sword Intent and related sword techniques into these devices, which then materialized into a Sword Master for us disciples to battle against."
"As long as one doesn’t break through with sheer force, generally speaking, if you can defeat a Sword Master, you can learn a type of sword technique or Sword Intent. Many guest elders and offerings joined our Sect because of this Sword Tower."
"Sword Intent?" Lian Yun blinked in surprise.
To be honest, the Ancient Surname Elder likely possessed countless Sword Intents. However, when Lian Yun had previously observed him wielding his sword, he felt more of a Spirituality than anything else. It seemed that the Sword Intent could be overshadowed by Spirituality or that the Sword Intent had transformed into another realm of existence altogether. Thus, at that time, Lian Yun hardly grasped anything about Sword Intent.
But now this Sword Tower...
For others, acquiring Sword Intent might be difficult; however, for Lian Yun, as long as he could encounter it, his Yin-Yang Stage could mimic it. With just some time spent on it, he would be able to comprehend it fully.
The Sword Tower seemed tailor-made for Lian Yun, truly 'indescribable.'
The first nine floors of the Sword Tower were for multiple practitioners, while the tenth to fifteenth floors were reserved for elite and core disciples. The last three floors were where elders at the Manager level practiced.
Now, with Lian Yun's previous status as an Honorary Patron, he could access the last three floors for cultivation. However, the cultivation floors didn't matter much, so Lian Yun chose to practice on the Fifteenth Floor alongside Yao Yun'er.
After Yao Yun'er briefly introduced some basic knowledge, Lian Yun stepped into a room and summoned ten Sword Intents from within himself, selecting ten Sword Masters whose Sword Intents countered his own.
This was a feature of the Sword Tower: one could choose Sword Masters with the same Sword Intent to enhance their own or select those with opposing Sword Intents to refine their weaknesses.
For Lian Yun, choosing Sword Masters that countered his Sword Intent was a win-win situation.
At this moment, Lian Yun was not in a hurry; he didn't immediately switch upon encountering a Sword Master but engaged in real combat for a while.
Even so, within less than half an hour of entering the Sword Tower, elite disciples outside were already erupting in waves of astonishment.
