Chapter 78: - Never Perfect

Battling against Mu Bai with his sword technique, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that there were so many loopholes in his sword technique.

It must be known that this was a basic sword technique, since he was a child, Xiao Chen had always attached great importance to the foundation, and this basic sword technique was cultivated every day, even now, Xiao Chen would spare at least half an hour every day to cultivate the basic sword technique.

But it was the basic sword technique that he had practiced since he was a child and even Cang Xuan had praised, but now it had actually become full of holes in his own eyes.

At first, he thought that it was his own illusion, but as he continued to do so, this feeling became clearer and clearer, and in the end, Xiao Chen was certain that this was not an illusion at all, but rather, it was true that the Basic Sword Technique that he had practiced for more than a decade was really full of loopholes……………….

Never felt like this before, originally all had felt that their basic sword technique was already very perfect, but now it seemed that it was not.

After wondering why there was such a feeling, Xiao Chen suddenly recalled the Heaven’s Path Sword Embryo and parted a strand of his mind to look at his eyebrows inwardly, finding that the Heaven’s Path Sword Embryo was actually emitting a faint white-golden light at this time

“This is ……………………….”

He has never felt like this before. He already felt that his basic swordsmanship was perfect, but now it seems that it is not.

Xiao Chen did not know much about the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo because it was originally a thing of legend, and the entire Tianchen Continent, other than Xiao Chen, I am afraid that no one had ever seen the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo with their own eyes, so most of the various descriptions of the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo were speculations of the world.

Precisely because of his ignorance of the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo, Xiao Chen did not know that after awakening the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo, his comprehension had already taken a qualitative leap, and the basic sword techniques that he once found flawless would naturally become full of holes when he looked at it again at this time.

The perfect sword technique, you know, there is no such thing as perfection in this world, when you think a thing has reached flawlessness, it can only be said that the limit of your talent has reached, with your talent, you can only comprehend it up to here, no higher you can no longer comprehend it, that’s why you feel perfect.

It’s like a frog at the bottom of a well, being at the bottom of a well, it can’t see how vast the heavens and the earth really are, so it can only think that the sky in its own eyes is all there is.

Sword Path comprehension had completed a qualitative leap with the help of the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo, and such talent would continue to be transformed as the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo grew.

“Brother Mu Bai, can you wait for a moment…………………” the mind was already a bit confused, Xiao Chen looked towards Mu Bai and said.

In the middle of the battle, Xiao Chen suddenly called for a halt, to which Mu Bai was confused, but after seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, he still chose to stop.

Not knowing what Xiao Chen was going to do, after the temporary truce, Xiao Chen stood alone, his eyes somewhat empty, seeing Xiao Chen’s appearance, Mu Bai looked at him thoughtfully.

The consciousness stared at the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo that was emitting a faint white light, gradually, it seemed as if only himself and the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo existed in Xiao Chen’s eyes, at the same time, a very vague, yet incomparably clear voice slowly sounded in his mind.

“What is a sword? What is the Path? What is Sword Path again? The world is foolish, and after practicing for hundreds of years they think they have comprehended the true essence of the Path of the Sword, yet they have not even stepped into the threshold of the Path of the Sword.”

“The way of the sword is so vast, endless without end, only by truly opening one’s horizons and not sitting in a well can one understand that there is no such thing as perfection in the world, practicing the basic swordsmanship for decades, centuries, thousands of years, and so one thinks that the basic swordsmanship has been perfected? Foolish ………………..”

The voice resounded in his mind, and upon hearing the words, it was as if Xiao Chen had some enlightenment, and at the same time, inadvertently, Xiao Chen actually began to practice the basic sword technique.

Xiao Chen, who was originally standing dumbly in place, suddenly began to practice his sword technique, and the puzzlement in Mu Bai’s eyes became even greater at the sight of it.

However, as time passed, the doubt in Mu Bai’s eyes gradually turned into shock as he watched Xiao Chen practice the Basic Sword Technique over and over again.

“This ………… This Basic Sword Technique is still possible?”

At first, he did not see any clues, but since he was able to become one of the six reverends of the Northern Yue Domain, Mu Bai’s talent was naturally not weak, and he soon saw that Xiao Chen’s Basic Sword Technique was progressing.

In Xiao Chen’s hands, the Basic Sword Technique had been fully sublimated, and even Mu Bai’s eyes could not help but be fascinated and shocked, the Basic Sword Technique could still be like this?

“I see, I see, I understand that a sword should not be thrust out as fast as possible ………………..”

Under Xiao Chen’s rehearsal, Mu Bai also developed some insights, but compared to Xiao Chen, his progress was clearly much less.

After the basic sword techniques were improved, Xiao Chen then practiced a few other sword techniques, such as the Sword Shadow Kill, the Inflammatory Fire Sword Technique, and the Golden Kill Sword Technique.

In Xiao Chen’s hands, these sword techniques were all greatly improved, and only after a full hour had passed did Xiao Chen gradually return to his senses, his eyes flickering with intense excitement, and only Xiao Chen himself knew how much he had gained from this hour of Fang.

“Sword techniques have never been perfect, there is no strongest only stronger, so that’s how it is ……………….” muttering softly, as his voice fell, Xiao Chen turned his head to look at Mu Bai and said with an apologetic expression.

“Brother Mu Bai, I’ve kept you waiting, let’s continue…………………. ”

That one hour of enlightenment just now, Xiao Chen gained too much, not only the superficial improvement of the sword technique, but also the improvement of the state of mind and the insight of the sword Path.

He signaled that Mu Bai could continue, but when he heard Xiao Chen’s words, Mu Bai took the initiative to take the sword into its sheath, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly. Can you tell me what you realized just now?”

There was no intention of continuing to fight, Mu Bai knew that after the epiphany just now, he was no longer a match for Xiao Chen, nowadays, Xiao Chen’s attainments in his sword skills had surpassed his own, in an hour’s time, it was as if Xiao Chen’s sword skills had been washed of lead, it had been qualitatively sublimated, and was completely different from before.

It could be seen that Mu Bai’s heart was indeed good, able to face up to his own shortcomings, and at the same time seize any opportunity to improve himself, with only the Path of the Sword as his sole focus, such a person could only go a long way in the Path of the Sword.

Hearing Mu Bai’s words, Xiao Chen smiled, and said to Mu Bai: “There is no perfection in the world, the way of the Path of the sword, there is no strongest only stronger, do not sit and watch the sky…………………..”

A simple sentence, but perfectly expressing his own comprehension, hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Mu Bai was dumbfounded in place, repeating the sentence in his mouth, after half a dozen times, Mu Bai fiercely returned to his senses, a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, while he bowed to Xiao Chen.

“Thank you Brother Xiao Chen for teaching me, Mu Bai is extremely grateful.”
