Chapter 269

~8 min read 1,477 words

"Twing! Twing!"

A loud zither sound instantly rang out in the Sword Tomb, breaking the silence!

Everyone in the hall heard the commotion, turned their heads to look at Xu Que one after another, and were instantly stunned...

Senior Brother Fujiwara... why is he back again? And he's playing the zither at the entrance?

"Human Path!"

At this moment, Xu Que suddenly shouted sternly, roaring out three words.

The zither sound accompanied his voice like demonic music filling the ears, causing everyone present to tremble, their minds slightly shaken.

And the Sword Spirit, lunging toward Xu Que, actually showed a hint of trembling in the air, as if it too were affected by the zither sound.

Seeing that it was working, Xu Que slid his fingers across the strings even faster, while half-speaking and half-singing the lyrics...

"Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao, Dao..."

A simple word "Dao," yet every sound recited a powerful Dao Rhyme, resounding through the Sword Tomb.

What is the Dao?

Under the influence of the zither sound, this thought involuntarily popped into everyone's minds!

The black mist transformed by the Sword Spirit even stopped mid-air, turning into a human shape, its cold eyes filled with a hint of confusion as it stared at Xu Que.

Xu Que gathered his Qi in his dantian and continued to sing:

"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao.

Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, Human Dao, Sword Dao.

Black Dao, White Dao, Yellow Dao, Red Dao, Left Dao, Right Dao,

With Dao, without Dao, everyone talks about Dao, it is not the eternal Dao..."

A series of heroic and rapid lyrics were half-recited and half-sung, like a Daoist chanting Dao sounds, making everyone's minds shake even more.

So there are so many Daos; the Dao is everything!

Just when everyone thought they had realized something, Xu Que paused and sang again!

"Pah, pah, pah, pah, nonsense.

The Sage has the Dao, the thief also has the Dao,

Hahahaha..."

His loud shout, accompanied by laughter, instantly caused everyone's minds to shake violently, their brains feeling like they were struck by five thunders, and they couldn't help but get goosebumps all over!

Everyone was moved; they had never heard such a song before.

A song could actually be half-recited and half-sung like this, and every word in the lyrics contained Dao Rhyme, leading people to deep thought!

The song Xu Que sang was created by the very famous master Huang Zhan on Earth, titled "Dao," which was a well-known interlude in the movie *A Chinese Ghost Story* back then.

Everyone in the hall was conquered by his identity as a Four-Star Musician!

The Sword Spirit itself was also a soul, so the influence of the music on it was huge. Coupled with such profound lyrics being recited, it also fell into a state of enlightenment, forgetting to chase and kill Xu Que for a moment.

"Hey, I seek my own Dao... I seek my own Dao..."

Xu Que's last sound fell, and the zither sound stopped abruptly.

The whole hall was silent.

All the prodigies seemed to have felt something, the lingering sound echoing, immersed in that deep Dao Rhyme realization.

The Sword Spirit woke up very quickly, but it didn't continue to go crazy, staring coldly at Xu Que, remaining motionless for a long time.

Xu Que looked at the Sword Spirit, secretly happy in his heart, but kept a serious face, and began to talk nonsense in all seriousness: "What is the Dao? In fact, the Dao is everything. As long as I have a sword in my heart, everything can be a sword! If I have no sword in my heart, then having no sword is better than having a sword..."

He moved all the lines from the novels and TV shows he had watched before that sounded profound but were actually nonsensical, and blurted them all out.

The more the Sword Spirit listened, the stronger the confusion in its eyes became.

Seeing this, Xu Que spoke even more enthusiastically.

Finally, he waved his great sword and wrote two lines on the stone wall.

"Sword, Dao, neither can change everything, but the Sword Dao can change everything!"

The Sword Spirit's eyes flickered, thinking hard.

The prodigies present were also stunned when they saw this.

Someone couldn't help but point to the comma that separated the words and asked: "Senior Brother Fujiwara, what does this mean? Could it be that a symbol in the middle changed everything?"

"That's not right! But young man, I appreciate you; you actually even recognize a comma..." Xu Que replied indifferently.

"Why is it not right? The difference between the first sentence and the second sentence is actually just a comma. Doesn't this mean a comma changed everything?"

When these words came out, everyone looked at Xu Que with confusion, hoping he would provide an answer.

Even the Sword Spirit looked at Xu Que, seemingly very eager to get an answer.

Xu Que smiled inscrutably, shook his head and said: "What you see is only the surface. If you look carefully, you will find that the difference is not just a comma!"

"Then what exactly is it?" the prodigies asked.

Xu Que smiled without saying a word and stopped answering.

Everyone was suddenly anxious; this was simply leaving people hanging.

The Sword Spirit's eyes also turned cold, and it suddenly swirled up, making a sword stroke on the stone wall!

Whoosh!

The sword light flashed, and a line of words was left on the stone wall — "What exactly is it?"

Xu Que smiled: "If I tell you, are you willing to follow me? Of course, I will also return that remnant soul to you. From now on, you will learn the Dao from me, how about that?"

The Sword Spirit suddenly fell silent.

Everyone present was confused, and their eyelids twitched.

What is the background of this black mist? It's actually so powerful!

And has Senior Brother Fujiwara gone crazy again? He actually dared to make such a request to the black mist person. People are more than qualified to be your master, yet you actually want them to follow you to learn the Dao.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, the Sword Spirit moved again, waving its arm on the stone wall, leaving a line of words — "Win against this Sword Spirit with sword technique!"

"Win against you with sword technique? Are you kidding? My cultivation level is much lower than yours. If I could win against you, would I need to say so much to you?" Xu Que frowned instantly.

And the group of prodigies present were all dumbfounded.

Sword Spirit?

This black mist person is actually a Sword Spirit?

That's not right, what was that white light seen before?

Could it be that there are two Sword Spirits?

Everyone was a bit confused, their faces stunned.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the sword light flashed again, and the Sword Spirit left another line of words on the stone wall — "Only discuss sword technique, do not use Dharma spells!"

When Xu Que saw this, he was instantly happy.

This is a sword competition, just like when we were in the Fire Yuan Kingdom's Imperial Palace, sealing cultivation and only comparing martial arts?

Haha, in this situation, who have I, Dugu Qiubai, ever feared?

"Good, come, I will discuss swords with you! If I win, you have to come with me." Xu Que laughed loudly.

The Sword Spirit nodded slightly, expressionless.

Following that, with a *whoosh*, a wisp of black mist on its body suddenly turned into a sharp sword, pointing straight at the ground, looking very dashing!

Xu Que's mouth twitched, and he also took out a Six-Star treasure sword from his system package!

Facing such a strong enemy, one must choose a good sword.

"Eh?"

However, as soon as Xu Que's sword came out, the prodigies present were dumbfounded.

Isn't this the sword that Lin Guan from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion took before?

Wasn't it already offered to Sword Spirit Adult?

How is it in your hands?

"Could it be that Senior Brother Fujiwara has already met Sword Spirit Adult?"

"It must be so, Sword Spirit Adult gifted this sword to him."

Everyone guessed one after another.

And the real Sword Spirit heard this, and its eyes became confused again, seemingly not understanding the meaning of these people's words.

But it didn't pay much attention, and the sharp sword in its hand slowly lifted, pointing at Xu Que.

This means, we can fight!
