Chapter 911: Chapter 484: Eighth Life: Severing the Self to Enlighten the Dao, Pure Lotus Heart Scripture!
"This sword has disappeared?"
Inside the Sect Hall.
Seeing the Six-foot Cyan Blade vanish inexplicably from Lu Yuan’s hand, Han Qingxuan’s expression subtly changed, somewhat incredulously.
This sword is unnamed, its origins mysterious, and it was something he obtained from an ancient Secret Realm.
He knew the sword was extraordinary, but he didn’t expect it to be so peculiar, disappearing into thin air without any clue, even to him!
"This sword is merely a vessel; the supreme Sword Intent contained within it is where the true Sword Dao inheritance lies."
Lu Yuan spoke plainly, not hiding anything.
"Sword Dao inheritance?"
Han Qingxuan was shocked upon hearing this, not expecting the sword to have such a significant source.
It is well known that anything regarded as an inheritance is extraordinary, and seeing Lu Yuan like this, it’s clear he has gained tremendous benefits from it.
"I wonder what kind of Sword Dao inheritance is within?"
Han Qingxuan curiously asked.
"Self-Cutting Sword Dao."
Lu Yuan openly shared the inheritance he had received.
Because this method is extremely unique, one can only cultivate it with a heart of sincerity and dedication towards the Dao.
"In Buddhist Scripture, it is said, ’The mind is like a bright mirror, frequently polish it.’"
"A cultivator’s mind is like a mirror, needing frequent polishing to maintain its bright and pure essence."
"The Self-Cutting Sword Dao uses the heart as a sword, cutting away various distracting thoughts and delusions in the mind."
"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and illusions; only by obliterating all delusions can one manifest a clear mind, see the nature of things, and perceive heaven, earth, and all beings."
Lu Yuan calmly explained.
"To see the Dao through self-cutting?"
"We are all ordinary people, how could we possibly reach a state of having no desires?"
"Though this Sword Dao is profound and mysterious, few can truly cultivate it."
Upon hearing this, Han Qingxuan’s expression changed unpredictably, and he immediately shook his head.
Only now did he finally understand.
Why no one could ever gain this sword’s recognition.
Because as long as one is human, desires, obsessions, and various delusional thoughts will exist.
But this Self-Cutting Sword Dao requires one to obliterate all greed and obsessions, which is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Probably only those born as Sword Fools could possibly master it.
Thinking of this.
Han Qingxuan looked at Lu Yuan again in amazement.
Since Lu Yuan could receive the Sword Dao inheritance within, it indicated he had already gained the sword’s approval and was qualified to cultivate the Self-Cutting Sword Dao.
This implies.
Lu Yuan’s dedication to the Dao is even firmer than that of the Cyan Cloud Sect Master?
"No wonder he rose so quickly at such a young age, with such a determined heart for the Dao, how could he not achieve great things?"
Han Qingxuan sighed deeply, valuing Lu Yuan even more.
Then he thought for a moment and took out a Jade Talisman from the Qiankun Bag, handing it to Lu Yuan.
"This is a Small Qiankun Shifting Talisman, and it also contains a thread of my Spirit Will, capable of withstanding a strike from a Nirvana Realm expert."
"If you encounter a life-and-death crisis, no matter where you are, just activate this talisman, and you’ll be instantly transported three thousand miles away."
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
Lu Yuan took the Small Qiankun Shifting Talisman, solemnly storing it away.
This item is so valuable, it’s like a second life for a cultivator, its worth inestimable by money.
Seeing this, Luo Xin couldn’t help but cry out, almost consumed by jealousy.
"Crazy! Master must be crazy!"
"He even gave a Small Qiankun Shifting Talisman, which is a privilege reserved only for Direct Disciples!"
Considering the wealth and privileges Lu Yuan enjoyed.
He’s not a Direct Disciple, yet he surpasses one.
Even if he achieved considerable merit for the Sect, would Han Qingxuan value him so highly?
Luo Xin even suspected if Lu Yuan was an illegitimate child left by the Master in the outside world; otherwise, why would the Master treat him so generously?
"Comparing people really is infuriating."
"It seems Master holds this junior brother in exceptionally high regard, even the eldest senior brother didn’t have such treatment back then, right?"
Luo Xin said with complete resignation.
On the other side.
After giving all the rewards, Han Qingxuan solemnly reminded.
"With the Inner Sect Competition approaching, according to the agreement between me and the Law Enforcement Hall, you need to achieve first place to qualify as a True Disciple."
"Though it might be quite challenging for you, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Becoming the Sect’s True Inheritor will grant you vast benefits for your future cultivation, so you must not be careless."
"Inner Sect Competition?"
Hearing these words, Lu Yuan was momentarily stunned, then understood. No wonder Han Qingxuan gave him so many treasures and resources.
It turns out he wants to push him into achieving a good rank in this Inner Sect Competition.
But the problem is.
He was just an Outer Disciple before, and having just been promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, participating in this competition feels too rushed.
"Cultivation is a struggle against destiny."
"If we cultivators do not compete, why seek immortality? Why pursue the Dao?"
"And you, kid, stop acting modest after gaining advantage, even though the Inner Sect Competition is fierce, with your power, it’s not impossible to come out on top."
Seeing Lu Yuan looking troubled, Han Qingxuan immediately said seriously.
"I shall follow the Sect Leader’s instructions,"
Lu Yuan, seeing the situation, reluctantly saluted.
With that, he did not linger.
Bidding farewell to Han Qingxuan and Luo Xin,
he returned to his residence, carefully closed the doors and windows, and began to review his gains from this trip.
On this trip to Mianshui City, he collected a significant amount of loot from Lin Hu and the Black Tiger Stronghold’s bandits.
