yun xin sword.
With the sword in hand, Lin Chuan seemed to feel the deep affection of his beloved from his dream.
"What a good sword."
He swung it casually; the sword felt perfectly balanced, easy to wield, as if custom-made for him.
"Let's go practice in the courtyard."
Lin Chuan glanced at his 'daughter' Lin Ru Meng, who was still sound asleep on the bed, thinking that this girl must have been waking up and falling asleep throughout, yet she was well-behaved and hadn't woken him up.
Arriving in the courtyard, Lin Chuan circulated the Burning Silence Sword Art, and it complemented the yun xin sword perfectly, without any hindrance.
Spiritual Qi continuously poured into his body.
Rumble!
Lin Chuan only felt the Spiritual Qi within his body expand to its limit, constantly surging into his Meridians.
This was a sign of entering the Meridian Opening Realm.
Nourishing Qi within the body, opening Spiritual Veins.
Lin Chuan truly hadn't expected to enter the second Realm of Cultivation so quickly.
Does Dream Reincarnation really come with an idle farming function?
In any case, this was a good thing for him. With this thought, Lin Chuan sat cross-legged, calming his mind to open his Spiritual Veins.
According to the records in the book, successfully opening a Spiritual Vein within the body that can be used for Cultivation is considered a successful breakthrough. Normal Cultivators reach their Peak by opening twelve Spiritual Veins for Cultivation.
Some Geniuses, however, can break the norm and open thirteen Spiritual Veins.
Historically, there have even been peerless Prodigies who opened fourteen, fifteen, or even sixteen Spiritual Veins.
The number of Spiritual Veins opened within the body and their width are fundamental to Cultivation; the more solid the foundation, the higher the potential.
This is an eternal truth.
...
At the same time, in Dao Heaven State, a place extremely far from Qingyun Prefecture, an astonishing transformation was taking place.
Dao Heaven State is one of the great States of the Nine Phase Realm, where experts are as numerous as clouds.
The Daoist thirty-six Grotto-Heavens and seventy-two Blessed Lands are all located in this State.
A peerless expert also lives in seclusion here.
The earth shook, and a single sword separated the world.
Above Dao Heaven State, a sword pointed towards the sky, cleaving through the clouds and deeply embedding its mark into the Void Realm, parting the firmament down the middle.
"The Old Ancestor has emerged from seclusion!"
Amidst the continuous mountain ranges, a loud shout echoed.
Cultivators from all over the mountains and plains flew on their swords, heading towards the highest Peak in Dao Heaven State.
The Old Ancestor in their mouths was a generation's Immortal Sword Cultivator.
Initially, people only thought he was a Blind Swordsman, but later, the Blind Swordsman casually slew a Supreme Realm Demon Lord with a single sword strike.
The people of Dao Heaven State hailed him as a Sword Immortal and worshipped him.
The Blind Swordsman did not establish a School; he merely resided on this mountain. Countless sincere swordsmen came to seek the Dao, hoping to receive a move or two from the Sword Immortal.
Even a casual pointer would suffice.
For Sword Cultivators obsessed with the sword, a casual pointer from the Blind Swordsman was enough to be considered a lifelong Treasure Trove.
The Blind Swordsman never responded to anyone.
He occasionally practiced swordplay on the mountain Peak, and he did not avoid the world; everyone could observe him.
Many Sword Cultivators gained enlightenment from this and thereafter considered themselves Disciples of the Blind Swordsman. These individuals collectively established a School at the foot of the mountain.
Its name: Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
The Blind Swordsman thus became the founding Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
The Old Ancestor's emergence from seclusion was a tremendous Opportunity for the Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
On the mountain Peak, sat a Swordsman dressed in worn cloth, his eyes bound with black silk, and the sword in his hand was heavily rusted.
"I didn't expect a grand dream to inexplicably incur Karma."
"Lin Chuan?"
The Blind Swordsman murmured the name, "Who exactly is he? To enter my Mortal World dream." The Blind Swordsman pinched his fingers to divine, but he couldn't ascertain the whereabouts of his beloved friend from the dream.
That wasn't really a dream.
The him in the dream was the real him, the him in the rolling Mortal World.
The beloved friend in the dream should also be real.
"There's one more person who might be able to help me."
With his state of mind unaligned, the Blind Swordsman had no desire to Cultivate further. He resolved to find his beloved friend and resolve the Karma, otherwise, he would find it difficult to break through his Realm in this life.
The person the Blind Swordsman sought was the wife of his beloved friend from the dream.
That Yun Chuan Empress, Yun Zhiyi.
It was much simpler to divine Yun Zhiyi's location. After several deductions, the Blind Swordsman confirmed Yun Zhiyi's whereabouts.
"She's actually in a Small World of the Daoist seventy-two Blessed Lands?"
How vast is Dao Heaven State? Many Cultivators spend their entire lives without leaving a corner of Dao Heaven State.
In the space near Dao Heaven State, numerous Small Worlds have emerged, containing countless Opportunities.
Among them, one hundred and eight Small Worlds are the most famous, having been enlightened by the Daoist Patriarchs, earning the names thirty-six Grotto-Heavens and seventy-two Blessed Lands.
The next instant, the Blind Swordsman's figure vanished from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already at a special spatial entrance.
"Who goes there! Retreat at once!"
"This is the Daoist Green Jade Blessed Land; outsiders are not permitted entry."
Seeing the suddenly appearing Blind Swordsman, a group of Cultivators in Daoist robes reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, shouting sternly.
The Blind Swordsman glanced at these people.
Pfft!
The Daoist Cultivators guarding the Green Jade Blessed Land all spat blood.
"The existence of Daoist Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands should inherently benefit the world. The Dao Ancestor enlightened the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands not for you to abuse your power for personal gain."
"For your selfish desires, you oppressed countless beings in the Blessed Land; you deserve to die."
Every word uttered by the Blind Swordsman carried boundless Sword Intent, making the faces of the Cultivators guarding the Blessed Land turn pale, as if suffering the punishment of ten thousand swords piercing their hearts.
These Cultivators died without understanding why an outsider Cultivator would know the secrets of the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.
The Dao Ancestor's original intention in enlightening the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands was to provide more paths of Cultivation for the beings of the world, so that those with affinity could obtain the Luck and blessings within the Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands.
The Dao Ancestor wished to form good Karma with all under heaven.
However, even under the shining sun, there were still pests rampant.
The beings within the Green Jade Blessed Land should have developed freely.
The so-called Immortal's arrangement, disrupting Luck, was merely these Cultivators' scheme to extract the Luck within the Blessed Land, violating the Dao Ancestor's teachings and privately obstructing the path of the beings within the Blessed Land.
Awakening from his grand dream, and from an outsider's perspective, the Blind Swordsman quickly saw everything clearly.
To him, these matters were insignificant.
But to the beings within the Small World of the Green Jade Blessed Land, it was a transformative change.
Everyone would have a chance to rise, no longer confined by 'Immortals'.
...
Within the Small World of the Green Jade Blessed Land.
The Yun Chuan Dynasty had been established for three hundred years.
Yet, Empress Yun Zhiyi still looked the same as she did at the founding of the nation.
"A Chuan, I'm finally coming to be with you."
Sitting on the Dragon throne, Yun Zhiyi murmured to herself. Limited by the rules of heaven and earth, her life was also coming to an end.
For three hundred years, she had missed her husband, Lin Chuan, day and night.
In recent years, a growingly strong premonition had taken hold in her heart; a voice told her that A Chuan might still be alive.
"If A Chuan is truly still alive, perhaps he has Reincarnated."
Yun Zhiyi had tried to Ascend to this Realm.
However, the rules of heaven and earth strongly suppressed her, not allowing her to advance further. After that battle three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Gate was closed, and Immortals never appeared again.
"A Chuan, if you are truly still alive in another world, please guide my Soul from the depths of the unseen."
"Yun Zhiyi still wants... to always be your wife, for all lives, forever together."
Yun Zhiyi's eyes blurred with tears, her vitality gradually dissipating.
Just then, the heavenly and earthly rules that had been restricting her loosened.
Yun Zhiyi saw a person, A Chuan's beloved friend from three hundred years ago.
"Blind Swordsman? You... you're still alive?"
...
Blind Swordsman, Peerless Sword Immortal
