This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 591 03-25 - 66 Shui Yue Pavilion Master
Chapter 591: Chapter 66 Shui Yue Pavilion Master
In fact, not all Taoist Sects possess the profound mysteries of the Primordial Intent.
Or rather, among the seven great Taoist Sects, only the Heavenly Secret Pavilion truly grasped such profundities.
They were the sole ones.
Take for instance the Sword Stele Secret Realm of the Sword Sect, although it contained hundreds of Intents, the highest grade of these Intents would not surpass the Superior Intent, and none could reach the level of Primordial Intent.
But could one say that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion definitively surpassed the Sword Sect in terms of the foundation of Intent?
The answer depended on who you asked.
...
From a practical standpoint, the Sword Stele Secret Realm was even far superior to the Causality Tower.
The reason is simple, the Causality True Intent contained within the Causality Tower, though powerful, how many could truly comprehend the Primordial Intent?
This meant that the Causality Tower was destined to be a niche secret realm, with very limited applicability.
Whereas in the Sword Stele Secret Realm, as long as disciples of the Sword Sect entered, even if they could not comprehend the Intent, they would at least gain some inspiration.
In other words, it had a high cost-performance ratio.
This was the difference, but let us not dwell on it for now.
“We are approaching Lotus Peak,” Lin Yao introduced, “I have already notified my master about your visit, and she is currently waiting for you; we should not keep her waiting any longer.”
Lu Qingshan looked ahead, and not far away, Lotus Peak rose majestically and beautifully, layered one upon another, distinct and clear, just like a blooming lotus.
On the road, Lin Yao had already introduced him to Lotus Peak.
This peak was the Daoist practice site of the Shui Yue Pavilion Master; among the one hundred and eight peaks of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it was also undoubtedly one of the core peaks, not easily accessible to ordinary cultivators.
Indeed, there was a waterfall on Lotus Peak, cascading down from the summit, like a silver ribbon, swallowing and spewing mist.
The architecture on Lotus Peak was built according to the water, with pavilions and towers each having a unique style, exhibiting an elegant and unique charm and full of poetic appeal.
Upon officially stepping into the territory of Lotus Peak, amidst the babbling sound of flowing water, there were many sounds mixed in, crystal clear and pleasing to the ear like silver bells.
Lu Qingshan slightly furrowed his brow.
“Young Master Lu, this is your first visit to Lotus Peak, how do you feel? Is there anything you dislike?” Lin Yao, who had been attentive to Lu Qingshan from the start, noticed his change in expression and tactfully probed.
“Such a wonderful place, how could there be anything to dislike? But I wonder why it seems like I only hear the singing of orioles and swallows?” Lu Qingshan asked curiously, while inconspicuously stuffing the probing Big King Mouse back into the Spirit Beast Bag.
This little demon mouse often caused trouble; it was fine on its own, but in a domain with many female cultivators, it was necessary to keep it restrained.
Otherwise, the scenario of the mouse sneaking into a lady’s chamber would be both laughable and tragic.
Lin Yao understood and explained with a smile, “Our Heavenly Secret Pavilion divides our Spirit Arts into four lineages, with the Ziwei lineage, who wield the Heavenly Secret Spirit Art, at the forefront.”
However, the Heavenly Secret Spirit Art is difficult to cultivate, usually passed down within a single lineage, thus lacking grandeur. Hence, the Ziwei stands apart from the three lineages, and those who study the Heavenly Secret Spirit Art can also practice the other three major Spirit Arts.
Additionally, there is the Tianliang lineage that controls the Xuantian Spiritual Technique, the Taiyin lineage that controls the Northern Moon Spirit Art, and the Giant Gate lineage that controls the Seven Slaughters Spirit Art.
My master is the current lineage holder of the Taiyin lineage, well-versed in the Northern Moon Spirit Art.
The Northern Moon Spirit Art draws upon the Power of Yue Hua, and cannot be cultivated by those not predominantly of the Yin element; thus, it naturally became a Subtle Technique passed down only to women.
Thus, on Lotus Peak, as Young Master Lu has noticed, all are female disciples.”
Lin Yao left unsaid that for this reason, Lotus Peak rarely saw the presence of men on ordinary days.
Having her bring Lu Qingshan to Lotus Peak was considered a rare honor bestowed by her master.
“I see,” Lu Qingshan nodded and then heard the laughter of women not far away, like the sweet songs of orioles, and laughed, “This atmosphere is indeed very lively, something you don’t see in the Sword Sect.”
This was indeed the truth.
Among the six cultivations, Body Cultivation need not be mentioned, equivalent to the “Engineering” in the Cultivation World, a true monastery.
But snails don’t laugh at clamshells, and sword cultivators aren’t much better off, equally suffering from a severe imbalance in the ratio of male to female practitioners, just like in the Sword Sect where the number of women certainly does not exceed one hundred.
Lin Yao whispered softly, “If Young Master Lu likes it here, you could come more often in the future; all the female cultivators at Lotus Peak are very charming.”
Lu Qingshan glanced at Lin Yao without responding.
Not far away, a few young women who were frolicking began to approach them gradually. Upon seeing Lin Yao, they hurriedly exclaimed and bowed to her, “Sister Lin Yao.”
Lin Yao nodded calmly in acknowledgment.
After the Lotus Peak nuns had walked a few steps away, Lu Qingshan, with a tinge of amusement, laughed and said, “Miss Lin of old, unknowingly, has now become the dignified and solemn Sister Lin.”
Lin Yao snorted.
“The man beside Sister Lin Yao, which peak’s brother is he from? He looks quite handsome…”
“You cheeky girl, thinking about men already.”
“I am not, I’m just telling the truth. Don’t you think he looks handsome, sister?”
“I wouldn’t dare say otherwise, this gentleman indeed looks extraordinary, but he must not be from our Heavenly Secret Pavilion.”
“How do you know, sister? Do you know him?”
“Don’t know him, hehe, precisely because I don’t recognize him, I say he isn’t a disciple of our Heavenly Secret Pavilion… I’ve seen all the handsome brothers from various peaks, but this gentleman, so graceful and unique, is someone I’m seeing for the first time, so naturally, he isn’t from our sect!”
“Look at you, shameless, sister, you’re the one thinking about men. Quick, tell me, which brother in the sect has caught your eye…”
Although the nuns lowered their voices, they did not deliberately silence them, so these words were clearly heard by Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao.
Lin Yao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. She spat softly at the departing young female disciples and with twinkling eyes looked back at Lu Qingshan, unable to resist teasing, “Young Master Lu really does attract the admiration of women.”
“Including you?” Lu Qingshan replied softly.
His remark left Lin Yao speechless.
In the midst of such idle talk, the two had unknowingly reached the peak’s blessed land.
The area was enveloped in mist and water vapor, rendering everything hazy and indistinct and barely visible.
“Master.” Lin Yao called softly.
In an instant, heaven and earth transformed, and by the time they regained their senses, Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao were already in a pavilion with open sides all around.
To the left, there was a deep valley thousands of feet deep, with the mountain wind howling.
In the center of the pavilion stood a middle-aged nun, her eyes twinkling mysteriously, draped in a moon-white Taoist robe that remained undisturbed by the wind.
Atop her head, she wore a crown shaped like a lotus, adorned with a ruyi scepter on the painted top.
This was the Lotus Crown, worn only by high-ranking spiritual cultivators of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
“Lu Qingshan pays respects to the Shui Yue Pavilion Master.” Lu Qingshan naturally recognized this deputy pavilion master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, having seen her before at the Seven Domains discourse event.
“Master.” Lin Yao bowed respectfully.
The Shui Yue Pavilion Master looked at Lu Qingshan and Lin Yao standing side by side, a subtle hint of satisfaction flickering in her eyes before she spoke lightly, “Are you the disciple of Peak Master Xia?”
Lu Qingshan replied respectfully, “Indeed, I joined the sect just when the master opened the peak, hence I was able to enter the door.”
“You bear a resemblance to Peak Master Xia when he was young; it seems you entered the right door,” the Shui Yue Pavilion Master nodded and commented approvingly.

“Master indeed teaches very well.” Lu Qingshan was neither arrogant nor self-deprecating.
After a moment of silence, the Shui Yue Pavilion Master suddenly looked up and asked, “Yao’er said that it was you who twice rescued her from peril and single-handedly recommended her to Qi Yuan, thus sending her to our Heavenly Secret Pavilion?”
“A fortunate coincidence,” Lu Qingshan replied.
