Wan Jianyi was still holding the broken bamboo branch in his hand at this moment, "Before you learn my Sword Dao, I want to ask you."
"Su Han!"
"What do you think a sword is, and what is Sword Dao?"
Su Han was slightly taken aback when he heard Wan Jianyi's question, "Didn't I just ask Master a similar question during the day?"
Su Han shook his head, "Goodness, someone is asking me such a question tonight?"
"As a transmigrator, if we talk about the basics of Sword Dao, I might not be as good as you..."
"After all, you have hundreds of years of accumulation."
"But this kind of question, you still think you can fool me?!"
Thinking of this.
Su Han looked at Wan Jianyi, his gaze sharp, his expression solemn, and slowly spoke.
"A sword is a tool for killing!"
"Not bad."
Wan Jianyi nodded slightly when he heard Su Han's words.
"But I believe that even among swords, there are three grades."
"Three grades?" Wan Jianyi was a little surprised; this was the first time he had heard of such a theory.
"Are you talking about the grade of the sword? Like Nine Heavens Divine Weapon?"
Su Han shook his head slightly, "No."
"The Sword of the Commoner: used for violence and fighting, without distinguishing right from wrong, killing only for momentary pleasure."
"The Sword of the Knight-errant: with bravery as its tip, loyalty as its edge, virtue as its spine, and wisdom as its hilt, this is the Sword of the Knight-errant."
"As for this last sword, it is the Sword of the Immortal."
Wan Jianyi's eyes were full of curiosity at this moment, seemingly completely forgetting that he was the one who was supposed to be teaching Sword Dao.
"What is the Sword of the Immortal?"
Su Han smiled slightly, looking at the thirst for knowledge in Wan Jianyi's eyes.
"With heaven and earth as its tip, mountains and seas as its edge, forged by the five elements, opened by yin and yang, held by spring and summer, wielded by autumn and winter, lonely in the world, unparalleled under heaven, this is the Sword of the Immortal."
"As for Sword Dao?"
"The Dao covers and supports all things, how vast it is!"
"I believe that Sword Dao, like this vast Dao, encompasses all things."
"A sword can be rigid or soft. When rigid, it is like Mount Tai pressing down, with a magnificent aura, displaying indomitable courage; when soft, it is like flowing water, continuous and unending, containing unwavering perseverance..."
"Within Sword Dao, there is the balance of yin and yang, the harmony of movement and stillness, the rotation of the five elements, the flourishing and withering of spring and autumn..."
"Since this is the case, why can't everything under heaven be Sword Dao?"
After listening to Su Han's words, Wan Jianyi was as if struck by a body-fixing spell.
He sat there motionless.
His eyes were fixed on Su Han, filled with unbelievable shock.
The half-broken bamboo branch he had been holding in his hand also quietly slipped and fell to the ground, making a slight sound, without him noticing.
However, Wan Jianyi did not notice at all.
His heart was like surging waves at this moment, rising and falling.
In his hundreds of years of life, he had also been a passionate youth, traversing the world.
He had always believed that his understanding of swords and Sword Dao was extremely profound.
He had also thought that he had reached the pinnacle of Sword Dao and that no one could surpass him.
Even the current Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect, Dao Xuan Zhenren, was a step behind him in Sword Dao.
However, Su Han's words were like a heavy blow, making him instantly realize how small and narrow his previous understanding of Sword Dao had been.
"The Sword of the Commoner, the Sword of the Knight-errant, the Sword of the Immortal..."
"These three grades, I have never heard of them."
Wan Jianyi repeatedly chewed on Su Han's words in his heart.
"The Sword of the Commoner, used for violence and fighting, without distinguishing right from wrong;"
"The Sword of the Knight-errant, with bravery as its tip, loyalty as its edge, virtue as its spine, and wisdom as its hilt;"
"The Sword of the Immortal, with heaven and earth as its tip, mountains and seas as its edge, forged by the five elements, opened by yin and yang, held by spring and summer, wielded by autumn and winter, lonely in the world, unparalleled under heaven..."
"Such insight!"
Wan Jianyi's gaze was tightly locked on Su Han, as if he wanted to see through him.
He began to re-examine this young man, a mere youth, yet possessing such astonishing insights.
Furthermore, Su Han's explanation of Sword Dao shocked him deeply.
In his eyes, Sword Dao used to be just sword moves, with the ultimate goal being nothing more than Divine Sword Lightning Leading True Skill, Seven Stars Sword Style, Slashing Demons and Gods True Art...
"Sword Dao, like this vast Dao, can encompass all things."
"Why can't everything under heaven be Sword Dao?"
"Was I also trapped by Slashing Demons and Gods True Art before?!"
Su Han's words were like a heavy hammer, striking Wan Jianyi's heart again and again.
Before this, these were things he had never thought about.
All he could think about was how to improve his cultivation, how to make Slashing Demons and Gods True Art even more powerful, perfect...
For a moment, Wan Jianyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again: "This child is definitely not an ordinary person."
"His understanding of swords and Sword Dao is like opening a door to a whole new world."
"My hundreds of years of accumulation seem so pale and powerless in front of him."
"It seems that his insight into Sword Dao has indeed surpassed mine..."
"No wonder he could create such an astonishing sword technique!"
And at this moment.
Su Han looked at Wan Jianyi's shocked and lost expression, and smiled inwardly.
"I have the wisdom of the ancients from five thousand years, Lao Wan!"
"Indeed, this once arrogant Sword Dao master is now stunned by my words."
Su Han couldn't help but sigh.
"As a transmigrator, with my knowledge accumulated from my previous life and unique way of thinking, I truly have a unique advantage in certain aspects of this world!"
After a long time.
Wan Jianyi, after a long period of shock, finally recovered.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he secretly annoyed himself: "No? We agreed that I would teach you, but you..."
He looked at Su Han, his eyes filled with both admiration and a hint of helplessness.
In his hundreds of years, he had never been so flustered.
But today, this young man, Su Han, had indeed completely subverted his understanding of swords and Sword Dao, and he had to admit it.
"Cough~"
Wan Jianyi coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
He picked up the half-broken bamboo branch from the ground again, and his expression gradually returned to his usual composure.
"Su Han, your insight has truly opened my eyes."
"However, the path of Sword Dao is long. Although you have such profound insights, you still need to constantly train."
Wan Jianyi's words carried a hint of elder's authority, but more so, they held expectations for Su Han.
Su Han nodded slightly, understanding Wan Jianyi's meaning.
"Lao Wan, you are absolutely right. I will naturally continue to explore the path of Sword Dao and strive for improvement."
"So, isn't that why I came to find you?"
Wan Jianyi felt a little more confident upon hearing Su Han's words and nodded proudly.
"Indeed."
"Even if he surpasses me theoretically in the path of Sword Dao,"
"He is definitely no match for me in actual combat and basics."
Thinking of this.
Wan Jianyi decided to start from where he was stronger and severely dampen Su Han's 'arrogant' spirit. Otherwise, how could he be his teacher?
"Su Han, I will first teach you a basic sword technique."
"You must watch carefully how I channel and withdraw my magic power..."
"I estimate that this will be enough for you to learn for several months!"
