Chapter 409 Teaching the Grand Elders
[Martial Arts Enlightenment Card (Active) - 24 Hours Remaining!]
Bai Zihan used the Martial Arts Enlightenment Card.
His mind instantly became sharper, clearer.
Immediately, he could see the essence of techniques like never before.
Even the Fate Severing Slash, which he only had basic mastery over, now revealed all the flaws he had previously made.
"Grand Elders, I will also show you. Watch carefully!"
Bai Zihan declared.
"Fate Severing Slash!"
He performed the technique-this time with even greater precision and power than before, while consuming far less Qi.
This was obviously a better Fate Severing Slash than any he had performed previously.
The Grand Elders watched closely, and with their cultivation and experience, it wasn't difficult for them to notice the difference.
"It's even more powerful than before."
"Is it because of his increased cultivation?"
"I don't think so. It's more refined-sharper!"
Not only that, they now truly understood just how difficult the technique was.
Once again, they were deeply impressed by Bai Zihan-someone who could comprehend such a complex technique at such a young age.
Silence fell over the empty plains.
The sword light dissipated.
What remained was a faint, lingering pressure-as if the world itself had been lightly scarred.
The Grand Elders' gazes were locked onto the space where Bai Zihan had completed the Fate Severing Slash, their eyes wide with unmistakable astonishment.
"So this is how it's supposed to look..."
Bai Chu murmured under his breath.
Grand Elders' faces were full of astonishment.
No!
Calling it astonishment was not enough.
They had practiced until their meridians ached and their minds screamed in protest.
And yet-
What Bai Zihan displayed felt fundamentally different.
Not stronger.
Not faster.
But on an entirely different level.
Bai Zihan turned back to them.
His expression was calm, almost indifferent-yet his eyes were clearer than ever.
"Now," he said, "shall I begin by telling you what you're all doing wrong?"
***
The Grand Elders began to practise the Fater Severing Technique.
Bai Zihan moved.
His figure flickered and appeared beside Bai Chu.
"Here," Bai Zihan said, tapping the ground lightly with his sword tip.
"Your intent forms too early."
"...I see," Bai Chu replied quietly.
Bai Zihan was already gone.
He appeared behind Bai Ren next.
"You rely too much on Qi, Bai Zihan said calmly. "You're forcing the technique."
Bai Ren snorted.
"Old habits."
"Then break them," Bai Zihan replied.
He demonstrated a single motion-no flourish, no excess.
The slash looked plain.
Yet the space in front of him distorted faintly.
Bai Zihan moved again.
To Bai Ruhong.
To Bai Yui.
Each correction was brief and precise.
Every Grand Elder immediately understood what they were doing wrong after being told by Bai Zihan.
Back and forth, Bai Zihan went.
Observing.
Correcting.
Practicing alongside them.
As time passed, the sword lights across the empty plains changed.
They grew cleaner.
Sharper.
More efficient.
The Grand Elders' Fate Severing Slashes no longer felt chaotic or forced.
Still-
There was something missing.
They could feel it.
The crucial essence.
The final step where understanding turned into true Fate severance.
This part couldn't be taught.
Bai Zihan tried to explain but it was them who needed to understand the true essence.
Fortunately-They were Immortals.
And with Bai Zihan there-grasping that final essence was only a matter of time.
Bai Zihan wasn't only teaching and practicing Fate Severing Slash.
The Martial Arts Enlightenment Card would be wasted if he focused on only one technique.
He also practiced Eternal Flowing Water Sword and Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword.
At times, the Grand Elders would pause their own training and watch in amazement as Bai Zihan executed the Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword.
They could tell-his mastery over the Bai Clan's core technique had already surpassed theirs, rivaling even Bai Chu.
"Not only does Zihan'er have terrifying cultivation speed his comprehension is even greater."
"There truly seems to be no roadblock for Bai Zihan to reach the peak."
Three fundamental factors determined the strength of a cultivator:
Physical body. Cultivation. Comprehension.
Lack even one, and it became a weakness.
Some had strong comprehension but slow cultivation-like Lin Xuan.
Others had cultivation and comprehension, but weaker bodies-like Bai
Xueqing.
Though Bai Xueqing's physical body wasn't truly weak, her physical body just lagged slightly behind her other strengths.
But Bai Zihan? There was no need to speak of his cultivation or physical body-the same body that survived Gou You's punch.
Now, even his comprehension had proven superior to the Grand Elders themselves.
They couldn't imagine Bai Zihan ever being held back.
He would rise.
And rise above everything.

[Martial Arts Enlightenment Card (Active) - 4 Seconds Remaining!]
"Huuu..."
Bai Zihan took a deep breathe.
The Martial Arts Enlightenment Card ended.
A full day had passed since Bai Zihan began teaching and practicing Fate Severing Slash.
Even without the card, he was too exhausted to continue.
Fate Severing Slash burned through Qi at a terrifying rate.
Still, with his increased mastery and cultivation, he could now easily perform three slashes-perhaps even four.
After an entire day of demonstration and practice, exhaustion was inevitable.
"System!"
*************************
[Host Info]
Host: Bai Zihan
Age: 18
Cultivation Realm: Spirit Severing (Top)
Constitution: Supreme Dao Bone
Martial Arts:
Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword (Major Mastery)
Eternal Flowing Water Sword (Greater Mastery)
Fate Severing Slash (Greater Mastery)
Heaven's Mandate Reversal (Beginner Mastery)
*************************
Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword increased by one level, nearing Perfection.
Eternal Flowing Water Sword advanced to Greater Mastery, also increased by one level.
Fate Severing Slash increased by two levels, advancing from Beginner to Greater Mastery.
This was the result of Bai Zihan teaching the technique to the Grand Elders and dedicating most of his time to it.
Otherwise, his other techniques might have advanced even further.
But Fate Severing Slash was his strongest offensive move-there was no regret.
He had also successfully mastered Heaven's Mandate Reversal.
With the Martial Arts Enlightenment Card active, comprehending it was effortless.
Now, he fully understood its limits.
With his current cultivation, he could remain at Top Void Refinement Realm for nearly twenty minutes.
However, pushing into the Great Ascension Realm was limited to three minutes at most-even with full Qi.
The backlash afterward would severely damage his body.
Until absolutely necessary, he would not use it again.
He briefly considered teaching the technique to the Grand Elders-
But dismissed the idea.
Their bodies simply weren't strong enough to endure the backlash.
And with Fate Severing Slash alone, they could already defeat enemies above their realm.
There was no need to risk their lives on such a dangerous technique.
The Grand Elders slowly withdrew their swords.
Bai Zihan exhaled quietly.
His task here was finished.
He turned toward the Grand Elders and cupped his fist respectfully.
"That's all for today," Bai Zihan said. "You'll need time to digest everything. Forcing it further won't help."
The Grand Elders looked at him with complex expressions.
Gratitude.
Awe.
And something close to disbelief.
Bai Chu laughed softly, shaking his head.
"Teaching Immortals sword techniques at Spirit Severing Realm..." he said. "If anyone else saw this, they'd think the world had gone mad."
Bai Ren looked at Bai Zihan deeply.
"You've done more than enough," he said solemnly. "Rest well. Leave the rest to us."
Bai Yui nodded gently.
"When the next battle comes," she added, "we won't disappoint you."
Bai Zihan smiled faintly.
"I'll be counting on that."
Without lingering any longer, he turned and stepped away.
With a single light movement, his figure blurred and vanished from the empty
plains, heading back toward the encampment.
The encampment remained orderly and calm.
No alarms.
No signs of demonic activity.
Just as he approached his tent, a familiar figure immediately straightened.
The Bai Clan disciple from before stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"Young Master!"
Bai Zihan paused and glanced at him.
"You again?"
He asked mildly.
"Hehe... Please allow me to guard your tent."
Bai Zihan studied him quietly.
After a brief moment, Bai Zihan nodded.
"Fine!"
He said calmly.
The disciple's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Bai Zihan stepped past him, then stopped.
"If there's any movement from the Demonic Beasts," he added, "inform me
immediately."
"Understood!" The disciple replied firmly. "I won't let a single disturbance go
unnoticed!"
Bai Zihan acknowledged him with a slight nod.
He lifted the tent curtain and stepped inside.
The outside noise faded instantly.
Once again, he was alone.
Bai Zihan sat down cross-legged, his expression settling into calm focus.
His Qi slowly began to circulate.
He also needs to digest everything he learned and cultivate.
Two days passed quietly.
Bai Zihan remained inside his tent, stabilizing his cultivation and digesting
everything he had learned.
Qi circulated steadily within his body, his foundation becoming increasingly
firm.
Outside, the Bai Clan disciple continued to stand guard without rest.
Then-
"Young Master!"
Bai Zihan opened his eyes.
"Yes?"
The disciple's voice was tense.
"Demonic Beasts and Demonic Cultivators have invaded again!"
Bai Zihan rose to his feet.
"I see," he said calmly.
"Then let's go and greet them!
