Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 914 - 473: Returning to the Mountain

Ling Xuzi still had other guests to attend to, and it wasn’t suitable to talk in a crowded place. So Tie Dan didn’t linger at Cloud Platform and embarked on his journey back to Nine Yin Mountain with two hundred and seven containers, protected by a group of sworn brothers.

Along the way, he was studying the "Blood Talisman Divine Sword Annotation".

Having dealt with Ling Xuzi, this old fellow, for so long, Tie Dan had come to understand him.

You really can’t call him a liar full of deceit. Quite the opposite, this leader never bothers with falsehoods.

These old monsters living from the generations of Xuan Nu have truly lived too long, seen too much, understood too deeply, and calculated too clearly. Why would they need to lie?

His experience and wisdom allow him to effortlessly speak the language of humans to humans and ghosts to ghosts. Using selective facts and partial truths, he misleads everyone’s judgment to achieve his own goals.

Yet, even when you’re deceived and your teeth itch with fury, you can’t confront him. Because if you get led into a trap, it’s purely due to your own insufficient calculation and lack of knowledge. For if you don’t play by his rules and unveil the layers of his enigmas, some truths may never be known.

So if Ling Xuzi says the path to breaking through lies within the "Blood Talisman Divine Sword Annotation", then it’s in this book.

If you can’t see it, it’s your problem. Only by seeing it can you unlock the hidden conversation that follows.

Alright, Tie Dan could only admit his skills were lacking. It seemed he was once again stuck, as he turned the book inside out without uncovering anything remarkable.

Of course, there was nothing inherently wrong with the cultivation techniques in the book.

The renown of the Blood Talisman Divine Sword needs no elaboration; it’s one of the Divine Sect’s three supreme divine skills, invincible in the world.

Indeed, invincible in the world, with no exaggeration.

Because the foreword clearly stated that this move was created by the Divine Lord on the Nine Yin Peak to completely shatter the Beichen Nine Swords.

The victory was dignified, the triumph honorable, stepping on the face of the Sword Sect to ascend as the world’s number one—who could object?

Ling Xuzi even annotated that the previous Mystic Sect Leader, former Sword Sect Leader Tian Gang, once had a pinnacle battle with the Divine Sect Hierarch, eventually being overwhelmingly defeated and half-crippled by the Blood Talisman Divine Sword, further proving the reputation of this skill was well-deserved. Even Tie Dan was left speechless...

Indeed speechless, because the Divine Lord’s sword technique was indeed formidable, only taking the styles of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, the method echoing the heavens and earth, seemingly simple yet profound; essentially enlightened, leaving no room for doubt.

Yes, this divine skill was crafted by the Divine Lord based on the battle with the Sword Sect, breaking down various deadly secret sword techniques, analyzing them in practice, integrating the essence and skills of sword energy, sword moves, and sword arrays, and finally gaining insight from observing the nine volumes of Xuan Nu’s Heavenly Book in the Sword Pavilion—enlightening to use blood to transform into sword, to pave the Dao with sword, achieving a supreme learning with natural Daoist Skill.

Rather than calling this a swordsmanship book, it’s more accurate to say it’s a Daoist Book, or even a scripture annotation, it’s the Divine Lord’s interpretation of the Beichen Swordsmanship and his insights into the Mystic Sect’s Dao.

However, despite the immense power of the "Blood Talisman Divine Sword", with its high dignity, it still cannot be compared to the "Blood God’s Son" great magic. It’s not widely spread within the Divine Sect, as this divine skill wasn’t completely written.

Strictly speaking, the Divine Lord didn’t write "Blood Talisman Divine Sword", only "Breaking Nine Luminaries Divine Sword Method", this skill was further based on the Nine Luminaries Divine Sword used by the Ninth Peak Sword Masters. But as the Divine Lord suddenly ascended, therefore, it wasn’t completed, being sorted into a book by successive Holy Daughters with the remnants left by the Divine Lord, inherently incomplete; occasionally the Holy Daughter woke up and remembered a bit more, updating versions...

Therefore, this skill hangs in midair, not only lacking any preliminary cultivation and Qi Refining, Core Formation, and sword casting method. It begins directly at the peak standards of Divinity Transformation, the top-tier confrontation. The Earth, Water, Fire, Wind Four Sword Styles, at least require cultivation to the Dharma Manifestation Heaven and Earth, Sword Rainbow Divinity Transformation Realm of Middle and Old Xuan Sect, Ten Extremes Venerable, Sect Leader Hierarch to use.

Those Divinity Transformation Monsters merely experiencing the natural way of swords in form, learn a semblance and they can already exert tremendous power. The Sword Scripture has many left blank spaces to be adapted based on the practitioners’ own specialties and skills.

So indeed, Ling Xuzi wasn’t wrong, this piece "Blood Talisman Divine Sword Annotation", was his own integration of Qingcheng Eight Immortals Sword, which can also be considered his original sword technique.

Fair to say, this cultivation technique does offer improvement for Tie Dan, after all, with his few thousand years of genuine cultivation, mastering the Method of Heaven and Earth divine skills, becoming exceedingly adept at the path of transformation into Sword Rainbow, practicing these four forms of Blood Talisman Divine Sword enhances his Daoist insight profoundly.

But merely this, may not be the path of resolving crises for survival? Could Ling Xuzi’s ultimate move be hidden within the Qingcheng Eight Immortals Sword? But these eight moves seem simply of Returning Dust Daoist Skill, still counted within the Tai Chi Technique...

Tie Dan contemplated these for seven consecutive days, tentatively mastering the four forms of Blood Talisman Divine Sword and eight moves of Qingcheng Immortal Sword, but still didn’t see any deeper schemes.

Meanwhile, the light boat traversed smoothly, reaching Nine Yin Mountain unharmed.

Curiously, someone was already waiting at the mountain gate.

Not Jian Jia.

"Sword Monarch Xuantian."

Looking at the man with white eyebrows and whiskers, tiger-like cheeks and swallow-like chin, bowing his head in greeting, Tie Dan was filled with suspicion.

He definitely remembered True Monarch Tianyin among the Eighteen Flying Stars, initially this guy was deputized to manage Yao Guang Peak, bringing his family to work at Hidden Sword Manor, keeping Tie Dan outside the door for two hours, how could he forget.
