Chapter 64: Lecture

t ocean, a rock can stand tall because it is connected to the seabed."Earth is the foundation of mountains, trees, rocks, and all things in the world!"Su Xin still wielded his swordsmanship, yet he na...What to do

Inside the Heavenly Flame Palace, the ten strongest geniuses participating in this hunt gathered together, each with a solemn expression.

Although the Qingyang Palace Master introduced many places inside the Tianyan Palace, he didn't elaborate on them at all. He didn't say anything about the Trial Tower or the Starry Hall. We have no idea what they are used for.

I think the Palace Master of Qingyang was intentional about this.

These geniuses mostly have discontent in their hearts, but they dare not speak up.

Before Su Xin could even open his mouth to inquire, he was immediately rebuked by the Qingyang Palace Master on the spot, wasn't he

"Brother, what should we do" Duan Yunfeng looked over at Su Xin.

"What can I do I can only explore it slowly myself," Su Xin smiled faintly, "Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion first."

Yes, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion first.

All the crowd nodded in agreement.

Of all the places mentioned before by Qingyang Palace Master, the most easily understood is the Treasure Pavilion.

Moreover, people are also full of curiosity about the Treasure Pavilion, a legendary place where over 70% of Tianyan Imperial Dynasty's resources and treasures are said to be gathered.

Quickly, ten people arrived inside the massive attic.

Upon arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, there wasn't a single treasure to be seen. All that was present was a thick list of treasures.

This list has a variety of treasures, with some simple introductions. There are many types, including pills, weapons, secret manuals, and auxiliary items...

Su Xin looked at the secret manuals in this category, and saw thousands of different sword techniques listed there.

All of these sword techniques were still extremely high level, each one was very impressive. Sword techniques that Su Xin had practiced before in the Su family were already considered top-notch within the Su family treasure vault, yet they weren't even qualified to be placed in the Heavenly Flame Palace's Treasure Pavilion.

Thousands of sword techniques, spanning various fields and styles, left Su Xin momentarily overwhelmed.

Although these sword techniques are extremely powerful, their exchange prices are also incredibly high.

Su Xin casually scanned a few sword techniques, and they all required thousands of fire points to exchange for the complete manuals.

Even those that are slightly worse need five or six hundred fire points.

"That's so expensive!"

"It's too expensive. We, who ranked sixth to tenth in the hunting competition, only got a thousand fire points as starting resources. But inside the Treasure Pavilion, a single skill from any sect requires hundreds or even thousands of fire points to exchange for."

“Elixirs and auxiliary items are still relatively affordable treasures. With the spark we have, we can't even exchange for a few treasures."

These geniuses, looking at the treasure list, where each item required hundreds or even thousands of fire points to exchange for, wore expressions of bitterness.

"Brother, I truly envy you now. Having come first in the hunt and starting with ten thousand fire points, you're much richer than us," Duan Yunfeng said with a bitter expression.

Su Xin smiled.

Indeed, compared to Duan Yunfeng and the others who only received a thousand fire points, he is considered quite wealthy now.

Even so, he had no intention of immediately redeeming the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion with fire points.

Even though he had already seen several treasures that were more useful to him.

“Compared to other prodigies, I have the most fire points on hand. However, since I've just arrived at Tianyan Palace and am still in the exploration stage, I don't understand anything. It’s best not to use fire points recklessly for now. I should wait until I thoroughly explore all the fortuitous places of Tianyan Palace before gradually planning how to use my fire points. Su Xin thought secretly.”

He didn't stay long at the Precious Pavilion, but soon left with Duan Yunfeng for the 'Dharma Hall'.

The Tianyan Palace Dojo is an incredibly vast martial arts training ground.

When Su Xin and his companions arrived at the training ground, many disciples of the Heavenly Flame Palace were already gathered there in small groups. When they saw Su Xin and his group appear, the eyes of these disciples of the Heavenly Flame Palace lit up.

"Well, hello there! Looks like we have a new recruit."

"They should be the ten new recruits selected from this year's Imperial City Hunt. They should each have a considerable amount of fire points as their initial resources."

"Who was the first to hunt this time He should have ten thousand fire points in his hand, right"

These days, the 'elders' of Yan Palace have all gathered here.

The Heavenly Flame Palace not only selects ten geniuses from the imperial hunting ground held every five years, but it also keeps an eye on some truly talented prodigies in the Heavenly Flame Empire, offering them special recruitment quotas in advance. Furthermore, these disciples can cultivate within the Heavenly Flame Palace for thirty years.

Therefore, the number of disciples in Tiangyan Palace has always been considerable. Taking Su Xin and his ten companions as an example, there are nearly a hundred disciples within Tiangyan Palace today.

"Hey hey, this senior brother…"

Duan Yunfeng had the thickest skin, grinning and chatting with several elderly people, starting to ask them questions.

All of them were disciples of Tianyan Palace. Those elders didn't have much airs about them and answered many questions for Su Xin and the others.

For example, this dish…

From these old folks, I learned that the eight Dao Lords within the Daoist temple were indeed the most powerful Nirvana Realm experts. This is undeniable. In fact, in terms of strength, these eight Dao Lords are even far stronger than the three Palace Masters.

This astonished Su Xin and them.

As the Palace Master of Tianyan Palace, it stands to reason that I should be the strongest. However, in reality, the eight Dao Masters are the true powerhouses of Tianyan Palace. These eight Dao Masters are not obligated to follow the orders of the three Palace Masters. They function as instructors within Tianyan Palace, but the palace holds no restrictions over them.

The Eight Dao Masters wanted to do whatever they pleased, and the Heavenly Flame Palace couldn't control them.

Even on ordinary days, these eight Dao Lords do not reside in Tianyan Palace. They only appear once a month when it is time for their lectures.

"The Eight Dao Lords each excel in their own areas. For example, some Dao Lords are skilled with swords, while others are proficient with guns!"

"And among these eight Dao Masters, there is one named Jiuchen Dao Master who excels in swordsmanship. In two days' time, this Jiuchen Dao Master will be coming to the Daoist temple to give a lecture." Su Xin's eyes sparkled with excitement.

The Eight Path Lord is skilled with eight different weapons, all of which are relatively common.

As for the content of the lectures, it naturally concerns matters of technique.

Su Xin was full of anticipation for this lecture given by the Daoist Master Jiucheng.

……

After gleaning some understanding of the temple and several special places within the Heavenly Flame Palace from those elders, Su Xin prepared to return to his residence.

Just about to head out...

"Su Xin, right" A man with a sinister face and purple clothes walked up to Su Xin.

This man in purple was one of the top ten talented prodigies from the previous dynasty's hunt. He had cultivated in the Tianyan Palace for a full five years, and his cultivation had already reached the middle stage of breaking the void.

"Having heard that you, Su Xin and your brother, are the top hunters this time, and that you and Xia Mang are considered to be the most dazzling two geniuses in the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty for the past fifty years, I wonder if you would be willing to spar with me" The man in purple smiled, looking quite sincere.

"Sparring Just pure sparring" Su Xin looked at the purple-clothed man before him.

"Since this is a sparring match, it naturally needs some flair to make it interesting. Not too much, though. How about two thousand fire points" The man in purple chuckled, looking at Su Xin.

Upon hearing the violet-clothed man's words, Su Xin turned and left without hesitation.

If it were purely about honing skills, he wouldn't refuse.

The icing on the cake is that it's a battle of wits!

He's a newcomer who just joined the Heavenly Flame Palace and hasn't even had time to rely on the resources of the Heavenly Flame Palace to improve his strength. He ran off to challenge those older generation geniuses who have been cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Palace for five full years

What a joke!

Su Xin is not a fool.

Seeing Su Xin turn and leave, this man in purple hurriedly called out, “Brother Su Xin, please don't rush off. How about we lower the price a bit A thousand fire points Or five hundred Why not just tell me what you think is fair”

The man in purple was still shouting, but Su Xin was too lazy to pay any attention to him anymore.

……

Soon, two days passed.

Over the past two days, the ten "newcomers", including Su Xin, have been keeping a low profile and slowly getting to know the ropes.

Even at the dojo, there are often "old men" who come to challenge or even provoke others. They mostly ignore them.

Nobody is stupid, it's impossible to easily go head-to-head with them before figuring out the strength of those elders. After all, they only have so many embers in their hands.

It could be Xia Mang, perhaps confident in his own abilities, or perhaps the arrogance of being a peerless genius, that he agreed to a duel with an 'old man'.

However, the bet was small, only two hundred Fire Points. It wasn't much for Xia Mang.

In this battle, Su Xin and the other newcomers came to watch. Although they only competed in skills and techniques, the "elder" suppressed his cultivation level. However, the result was undoubtedly Xia Mang's defeat.

They were defeated badly.

Although he was this year's hunting champion, second only to Su Xin, compared to these "elders" who had been cultivating in the Tianyan Palace for several years, he was still far behind.

After this battle's lesson, these newcomers became even more hesitant to agree to gambling matches with the elders.

……

The vast dojo has numerous lecture platforms.

Around one of the lecture platforms, more than ten disciples of the Heavenly Flame Palace gathered there. Su Xin was standing at the back.

"There were quite a lot of people," Su Xin thought to himself.

Today is the day when the Lord of Nine Stars gives a lecture, and as the Lord of Jian Dao, this Lord of Jiucheng's lecture is naturally about Jian Dao.

Over a hundred disciples from Tianyan Palace came to attend the class. Of those present, over ten were skilled in swordsmanship.

Under the expectant gaze of more than ten disciples, a middle-aged man in a loose robe and long hair flowing over his shoulders slowly walked up to the platform.

Met the Lord of the Way

These days, disciples of the Yan Palace immediately bowed and paid their respects, Su Xin included.

The Nine Star Dao Master first sat down on the meditation cushion on the platform, then waved his hand to the crowd and said, "Please sit down."

All the disciples also sat down one after another.

"Swordsmanship enlightenment begins with understanding the essence of sword intent…"

"The essence of sword intent is incredibly complex. If you try to comprehend it bit by bit, it would take too much time..."

The Ninth Heaven Dao Master didn't waste any words and began lecturing directly.

These disciples all listened carefully, and Su Xin also paid full attention, listening intently, not wanting to miss a single word.

But as he listened, Su Xin's expression grew strange.

"The essence of sword intent" Su Xin frowned.

This Daoist Master of Jiuxing has been talking about the essence of sword intent from the beginning. He explained it in great detail, including how to better comprehend it, the connections between different types of sword intent, and how to use sword intent to unleash greater strength...

All those elders of the Tianyan Palace around him were listening with rapt attention.

I can understand your words, but they are vague and unclear like clouds and mist.

"Sword Intent Essence"

What is the essence of sword intent

He doesn't understand at all.

He didn't even know what this so-called sword intent essence was!

……fall.“As expected of the Silver Moon Marquis, renowned as the number one in the Void-Breaking Realm. Even his spiritual consciousness is so powerful. I broke through to the later stage of Void-Breakin...
