Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 334: Truly the Cyan Mountain Sect’s Founding Patriarch
Explaining that he is the founder of the Cyan Mountain Sect would take some effort.
Lu Ping, however, was too lazy to elaborate further. Belief was not important to him; he simply informed Zhang Nianchuan that he had obtained Sword Dao Talent and not to be alarmed.
Without mentioning his own identity again, Lu Ping told Zhang Nianchuan about acquiring the Sword Dao Talent.
With a skeptical attitude, Zhang Nianchuan listened to Lu Ping’s explanation, his expression shifting from doubt to astonishment and finally to joy.
The drastic change in expression was because what Lu Ping said closely resembled his own situation.
Zhang Nianchuan had never mentioned to outsiders that he had acquired Sword Dao Talent.
Now, this mysterious person claiming to be the founder of the Cyan Mountain Sect was evidently well aware of it.
This had to make Zhang Nianchuan somewhat believe that the other party must have an extraordinary background, while also arousing a curiosity in his heart.
"May I ask... senior?"
Hesitating for a moment, Zhang Nianchuan couldn’t help but ask, "Is it related to senior that I have this Sword Dao Talent?"
The implied question was whether Lu Ping was responsible for his Sword Dao Talent.
"Yes, it is I."
Lu Ping gave a straightforward answer, communicating, "I will explain this matter shortly."
Upon saying this, Lu Ping inquired about Zhang Nianchuan’s current state of cultivation.
"Have you practiced any sword techniques so far?"
"Sword techniques..."
Zhang Nianchuan thought for a moment and replied truthfully, "Indeed, there are some."
Zhang Nianchuan honestly informed which sword techniques he had practiced.
The primary one was the foundational sword technique inherited from the Cyan Mountain Sect, the Cyan Cloud Sword Technique.
The Cyan Cloud Sword Technique is a Foundation Establishment Technique.
Any disciple of the Cyan Mountain Sect would practice it upon joining the Sect.
The other sword techniques were obtained by Zhang Nianchuan himself, exchanged from the Sect’s Library Pavilion using Merit Points, with the technique tiers all at Foundation Establishment Level.
"I understand."
Lu Ping finally responded, then communicated a message to Lu Yuanshan.
"Yuanshan, summon Zhang Nianchuan shortly and teach him the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique. I see his Sword Dao Talent is excellent; do not let it go to waste."
"Yes."
...
On another side, Lu Ping left without further communication with Zhang Nianchuan.
Soon, Lu Yuanshan’s summons reached Zhang Nianchuan.
After arriving at the Sect Hall and meeting Lu Yuanshan, Lu Yuanshan did not keep him in suspense and directly handed Zhang Nianchuan the Jade Scroll of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique.
"Sect Leader, this item is..."
Holding the Jade Scroll, Zhang Nianchuan looked confused, having not yet inquired why the Sect Leader had summoned him, whether there was another Sect mission to execute.
Currently, the Sect Leader gifted him a Jade Scroll of a cultivation technique, and this...
"This Jade Scroll of a cultivation technique contains a high-level sword technique named Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, which is now being taught to you."
"Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique..."
Zhang Nianchuan murmured, hearing of such a sword technique for the first time.
"You have actually witnessed the power of this sword technique," Lu Yuanshan explained simply, "Many years ago, during the battle at Hidden Nether Mountain against the Black Water Profound Snake, Lu Zhiwei used a formidable sword technique, which came from this Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique."
"Including myself, we are all currently cultivating this sword technique."
Upon hearing this explanation from Lu Yuanshan, Zhang Nianchuan understood the extraordinary nature of this sword technique.
During the battle at Hidden Nether Mountain against the Black Water Profound Snake, he had been present, joining fellow disciples to enclose the Black Water Profound Snake with the Cyan Light Bamboo Sea Sword Technique, allowing Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, and Lu Changfeng to join forces to slay it.
The battle’s final success was due to Lu Zhiwei’s decisive intervention, wielding an azure Ancient Divine Sword, which swiftly decapitated the Black Water Profound Snake in a few strokes.
The power of those strikes was something that Zhang Nianchuan remembered vividly.
Now, having obtained this Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, Zhang Nianchuan naturally felt immensely pleased and delighted.
But upon contemplation, he wondered how he deserved such favor from the Sect Leader?
"I understand your confusion,"
seeing the perplexity on Zhang Nianchuan’s face, Lu Yuanshan chuckled mysteriously.
"This is the ancestor’s directive."
Hearing this, Zhang Nianchuan was suddenly taken aback, involuntarily asking, "The ancestor the Sect Leader mentioned, is it the Cyan Mountain Sect’s founding ancestor, Elder Lu?"
"Of course,"
Lu Yuanshan nodded, "Aside from Elder Lu, which other ancestor does the Cyan Mountain Sect have?"
"Indeed, there is none."
"Yes, your acquisition of the Sword Dao Talent was indeed granted by Elder Lu, this talent was bestowed upon you by him," Lu Yuanshan disclosed. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The matter of granting Zhang Nianchuan the Sword Dao Talent had been mentioned by Lu Ping before; its purpose was to let Lu Yuanshan know that Zhang Nianchuan had acquired a Sword Dao Talent, thereby making it feasible for him to receive the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, rather than a sudden whim, and to encourage him to transmit this sword technique.
"The ancestor’s directive?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nianchuan was stunned; the mysterious person who previously communicated with him was truly the Cyan Mountain Sect’s founding ancestor, Elder Lu.
Did his earlier skepticism offend Elder Lu?
That was the forefather, after all.
What should he do now?
Unaware of Zhang Nianchuan’s current thoughts, Lu Yuanshan continued speaking, giving a reminder.
"For now, only you, I, and the ancestor know of this matter, and it must not be disclosed to a fourth person, do you understand?"
"At present, there are no rumors outside about the ancestor reemerging; this cannot be spread outside. We are aware ourselves, and there is no need to ask more."
"You should focus on rigorous training now. Nian Chuan, I observe you have good potential as a Foundation Establishment seedling."
"Among the Foundation Establishment cultivators emerging in the future of Cyan Mountain Sect, you will definitely be one."
Lu Yuanshan gave a few instructions.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, and the Sect for your favor,"
Zhang Nianchuan expressed his heartfelt gratitude, bowing to Lu Yuanshan.
"Alright, you may leave. The Sect will need your active cooperation in the upcoming period to undertake some minor tasks. Presently, imparting this cultivation technique Jade Scroll to you is also intended to enhance your strength early."
"Cyan Mountain Sect has come this far through hardship and challenges, extremely difficult. I don’t need to elaborate on the sorrows and hardships; you are aware, so I won’t repeat it."
Lu Yuanshan sighed slightly, then issued a guest-dismissal order without further words.
The transmission of cultivation techniques was done following Lu Ping’s intentions, and he was somewhat amazed at Zhang Nianchuan’s acquisition of Sword Dao Talent.
Over the years, without his father showing any signs, the revealed methods became increasingly miraculous, so even as the Cyan Mountain Sect’s Sect Leader, he could not comprehend them, leaving him in constant amazement over their miraculousness.
Presumably, even true Immortal techniques might be no different.
Cyan Mountain Sect, indeed, has a promising future ahead.
"Then, disciple takes his leave,"
Zhang Nianchuan saluted and bowed, now wholeheartedly focused on the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique in his hand.
After returning, he would train earnestly.
Just thinking about it was exciting.
