Chapter 512

The Silent Daoist sighed that Lu Yang was truly worthy of being his good disciple; he could invent something like the Heavenly Court Sect without being taught.

When he was still in the Jin Dan stage, he only cheated other Jin Dan stage cultivators; when Lu Yang was in the Jin Dan stage, he was already cheating Tribulation Transcendence stage ancestors and the three major demonic sects, and cheating low-tier cultivators and the common people; his ability to deceive superiors and subordinates was amazing.

Originally, he wanted to pass on his deception skills to Lu Yang behind Yun Zhi's back, but now it seemed there was no need.

As a master, the thing he was most proud of could not be passed on; he didn't know if it was lucky or unfortunate.

"Since I am a Heavenly King Protector, I must make contributions to our sect; I can promote our sect outside." The Silent Daoist was very responsible and good at playing to his strengths.

"No," the Fourth Elder rejected the Silent Daoist's proposal.

"You are famous in the Cultivation Realm, notorious, like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat you; mortals and low-to-mid-tier cultivators don't know your situation, but which high-tier cultivator doesn't know you?"

"You promote our sect outside, the main targets are mortals and low-to-mid-tier cultivators, but the Heavenly Court Sect is mainly to deceive enemies hiding in the dark; the enemies are all high-tier cultivators, and having you come forward to promote it will instead lower the credibility."

The Silent Daoist: "..."

Excluding those evaluations with strong subjective and objective views, he admitted that the Fourth was right.

The Eighth Elder added: "In my opinion, the Heavenly Court Sect should not operate publicly for the time being; frequent public appearances have the suspicion of acting; not showing up and letting the enemies rely on a tiny bit of information to guess and imagine the strength of the Heavenly Court Sect is the best policy."

The less information there is, the greater the space for the enemies to imagine, and the strength of the Heavenly Court Sect is here; even if it doesn't act, it will be misunderstood as plotting something in the dark, and it is the enemies who are anxious.

As the Silent Daoist's enlightenment mentor, the Eighth Elder had his own unique theory on deceiving people.

Lu Yang listened to the Elders' discussion while suppressing the Decayed Fairy's increasingly expanding ambition in his mental space.

"Hey, hey, your master is back, hurry up and let him pass the Sect Master position to me!" The Decayed Fairy patted the edge of the bed excitedly, urging Lu Yang to quickly reveal his wolfish ambition and usurp the throne.

"Fairy, this matter is difficult."

"What's difficult about it? I don't think your master is very willing to be Sect Master either."

"The problem is not with my master, but with the Senior Sister; the Senior Sister has held the sect's power for eleven years and has long been obsessed with power, unwilling to let go easily; previously, she let you be the acting Sect Master twice temporarily, just because she wanted to rest for a period of time; even if my master doesn't be the Sect Master, the next Sect Master is most likely the Senior Sister."

"Then what should we do?"

"As long as the Fairy defeats the Senior Sister, we can be the Sect Master if we want to!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but stop her; he was worried that if he really dared to propose being the Sect Master, his master would really pass the Sect Master position to him.

The Decayed Fairy nodded, feeling that what Lu Yang said made a lot of sense: "Don't be too anxious about the Sect Master matter; this Immortal is not afraid of the Yun girl, but feels that the Yun girl is doing a good job as Sect Master now; wait until this Immortal recovers to her peak state, then I will compete for the Sect Master position!"

"The Fairy is far-sighted, has a long-term vision, and endures humiliation; in the future, you will surely be able to display your talents in the Congwendao Sect."

"This Immortal thinks so too."

The temporary meeting of the Heavenly Court Sect ended quickly; actually, there was nothing to say, it was mainly to tell the Silent Daoist, who was already a member of the Heavenly Court Sect but didn't know it himself.

After the meeting, the Silent Daoist called Lu Yang to stop.

"Xiao Yang, you stay."

"Master, is there anything?"

The Silent Daoist put his horsetail whisk on his arm and stroked his white beard slowly, saying: "Nothing major, just feeling that since you became my disciple, I have never really taught you; now is just a good opportunity to teach you how to comprehend the Sword Dao."

Lu Yang was overjoyed; there were many in the sect who knew sword techniques, but not many who were proficient; Lu Yang's sword moves were basic moves, and his comprehension of the Sword Dao basically relied on talent.

Two years after becoming a disciple, both master and disciple had Sword Spirit Roots, and only now did he start teaching.

"Take out your sword, let me see."

Lu Yang took out the Green Edge sword and the Underworld Moon sword.

"You keep your sword in your identity jade token?"

"Is there a problem?" Lu Yang was puzzled; he saw other sword cultivators doing the same.

Could it be that as a sword cultivator, one should always keep close contact with one's weapon, carefully maintain it, and only then will it be more handy when used in battle?

"The problem is huge; when I was your age, I often encountered sneak attacks; in order to deal with sneak attacks, I always carried my sword with me; if I kept it in the identity jade token like you, wouldn't my reaction be a beat slower when I encountered danger?"

"Was the public security of Great Xia so bad when you were young?" Lu Yang was shocked; since he debuted, he had never encountered a sneak attack; he couldn't imagine that the management of Great Xia two thousand years ago was so chaotic.

"Although others say that the public security of Great Xia two thousand years ago was as good as it is now, according to my personal experience, Great Xia was very chaotic at that time!"

"Then did you report to the officials after you encountered a sneak attack?"

"The matter was too complicated, I generally didn't report to the officials."

Lu Yang understood; the officialdom was dark.

"How was it specifically complicated?"

"Mainly because I was the one who sneak-attacked them first; if the matter went to the government office, neither of us would benefit."

Lu Yang: "..."

The Silent Daoist took the sword, and the double swords were unsheathed, revealing a section; the snow-bright light just happened to shine into his eyes.

The Silent Daoist praised these two swords endlessly: "Good sword, one was given to you by Xiao Yun, who also applied a seal to it, and the other was carefully refined by the Fifth."

His horsetail whisk was also refined by the Fifth Elder; it looked like a horsetail whisk, but it actually contained countless sword Qi, which could catch people off guard.

The Silent Daoist returned the double swords to Lu Yang reluctantly; Xiao Yun was biased; he had asked for the Green Edge sword many times, but Xiao Yun wouldn't give it to him.

"Perform a sword move, let me see how well you have mastered it."

"Yes."

The sword hilt was aligned with his chest, and the sword Qi circled on the blade, like a dragon coiling around a pillar, with an imposing momentum.

Lu Yang shouted, flicked his wrist, and the sword was like a startled swan; the sword moves were sharp and unstoppable.

Break style, Point style, Lift style...

The basic sword moves seemed to come alive in Lu Yang's hands, connecting points into lines, the movements smooth and flawless.

The Silent Daoist: "..."

Is this a level that can be reached by self-study?

He felt that even if he had personally pointed it out, the result would be no more than this.

Lu Yang put away his sword, the Green Edge sword vertical behind his back, and bowed slightly to the Silent Daoist.

"Master, do you think there is anything in my sword moves that needs improvement?"

Lu Yang was quite uneasy in his heart; his sword moves all relied on self-study; although he felt good about himself, perhaps in his master's eyes, they were full of loopholes.

The Silent Daoist pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Next time you perform sword moves, remember to leave a few loopholes for me to point out."

The second update is at eleven o'clock.
