"Su Mou, Lu Xiaofeng has one thing he doesn't understand."

"The Sword Emperor was punished earlier for peeking at the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual; why did Sword Venerable still let him keep this manual?"

"Was Sword Venerable not afraid that the Sword Emperor would steal it?"

Just at this time, Lu Xiaofeng in the third-floor private room asked loudly.

These words also reminded the Jianghu heroes in the hall.

That's right!

It would be one thing if the Sword Emperor had no prior record.

But the Sword Emperor was clearly punished for peeking at the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual, yet Sword Venerable still took the initiative to give him the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual.

This operation was absolutely problematic.

It was like letting someone who had been hungry for three days and three nights keep a table of delicacies; wasn't that absurd?

Thinking this way, everyone looked toward Su Chen one after another, wanting to seek an answer.

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan, heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, and smiled slightly:

"This question is indeed worth talking about."

"I already said earlier that the Sword Emperor was punished for violating the Sword Sect's rules by peeking at the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual."

"And the reason Sword Venerable handed the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual to the Sword Emperor for safekeeping is precisely because the Sword Emperor had peeked at the manual."

"Sword Venerable was very certain that the Sword Emperor, who had peeked at the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual, would absolutely never open this manual again."

"The reason lies in the uniqueness of the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual."

"This Sword Sect's strongest town-sect cultivation method, 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin', is essentially a god-level sword technique; when cultivated to the Realm of Perfection, its power is no less than 'Heavenly Extreme Maha Immeasurable'."

"But its cultivation method is different from ordinary sword technique supreme arts."

"The opening of this manual only has sixteen characters: 'Ten thousand qi generate themselves, sword rushes into the waste acupoint; return to origin martial arts, sect far merit long'."

"These sixteen characters are the general outline of the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual, and the following dozen pages are all blank."

"Further back, there are sword formulas and breathing methods, but they are all extremely shallow sword moves."

"As long as someone has a little foundation in sword technique, they can successfully cultivate them 920."

"But the problem is, these sword moves are too mediocre."

"Even when cultivated to the Realm of Perfection, they have no power to speak of, at most equivalent to a third-rate sword technique."

As Su Chen's voice fell, a chorus of suspicion erupted in the hall.

This 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' sword technique was famous in the Great Han Jianghu.

After all, it was the town-sect cultivation method of the Great Han's number one sword dao sect, the Sword Sect.

But no one expected that the power of this so-called Sword Sect town-sect supreme art was only equivalent to a third-rate sword technique.

Could this so-called Sword Sect town-sect supreme art be a scam? Was it not a supreme divine art at all?

No!

Someone remembered Su Chen's initial commentary.

Su Chen personally commented that this 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' could be called a god-level sword technique, with power comparable to 'Heavenly Extreme Maha Immeasurable'.

That 'Heavenly Extreme Maha Immeasurable' was a top-quality Martial Saint supreme art simplified by the Palace Master of the Search God Palace according to the Martial Emperor's supreme art.

'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' is comparable to it; how could it be a third-rate sword technique?

Everyone really couldn't understand it, and could only gaze at the Bai Yu Platform one after another, waiting for Su Chen's subsequent commentary.

……

The seventh private room in the North District.

Wuming also revealed an interested expression.

As a Sword Sect disciple, he naturally admired the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual very much.

Back when he was in the Sword Sect, he had once asked Jian Hui for this manual, but was ruthlessly rejected by Jian Hui.

Even from the root, the reason the Sword Sect would eventually perish was because Jian Hui and Pojun had too deep an obsession with 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin'.

If this 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' was really just a third-rate sword technique.

Wouldn't Jian Hui and Pojun's actions become a joke?

"Master, do you think the true 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' mental method has already been lost?"

"Just now Su Mou said that there are a dozen blank pages on the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual."

"Perhaps that is the most important cultivation method of 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin'."

"Having lost that part of the method, this 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual is naturally plain."

Jian Chen expressed his own opinion.

Wuming nodded; there was indeed this possibility.

Any sect's town-sect manual, because the inheritance conditions are harsh, is easy to lose over time.

The Sword Sect has a long history, and 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' becoming a remnant is also extremely possible.

But Wuming's intuition told him that things were not that simple.

Thinking of this, he could only look at the Bai Yu Platform, waiting for Su Chen to reveal the answer.

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen sipped some clear tea, and without deliberately playing coy, he said directly:

"I said earlier."

"The cultivation method of this 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' manual is different from ordinary sword technique supreme arts."

"The reason it is plain after successful cultivation is because the correct cultivation method was not mastered."

"The true subtlety of this art lies in those dozen blank pages!"

"This is a metaphor, meaning that to cultivate 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin', one must first self-abolish one's cultivation, making oneself like a blank sheet of paper."

"This metaphor can also be derived from the sixteen-character general outline; taking the third character of each of the four sentences can form the true meaning of 'self-abolish martial arts'."

"Taking the first step of this 'self-abolish martial arts', one can truly begin to learn 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin', initially comprehending the two pieces of 'ten thousand qi generate themselves' and 'sword rushes into the waste acupoint'."

"The so-called 'ten thousand qi generate themselves' is a progressive breathing trick; those who cultivate this sword technique, although they self-abolish their internal energy, can transform their sword intent into a wisp of refined sword qi."

"This is the reason why Su calls this 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' a god-level sword technique."

"As everyone knows, only swordsmen with deep sword technique can transform internal energy into sword qi and exert sharp power."

"And those who cultivate 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' directly transform qi into swords, storing sword qi in the dantian."

"When other swordsmen perform sword techniques, they need to transform internal energy into sword qi first, then use it."

"And those who cultivate 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' have sword qi when they raise their hands, sword qi when they breathe, and sword qi when they sweep their eyebrows."

"The difference between the two can be seen at a glance."

"And if 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' is cultivated to the Realm of Perfection, it has the ability to command ten thousand swords in the world."

"Once a sword is drawn, fierce sword energy is born from the body, and all ten thousand swords in the world are like servants seeing their master, like believers worshiping a god."

"Even those swordsmen will unconsciously hand over all their sword technique comprehensions to the user of 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin'. ajcf 'That is to say, 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' can continuously integrate the subtleties of the world's sword techniques to strengthen oneself, until the most beautiful sword moves are evolved'."
