No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?-Chapter 209 - Ye Ping Gains Enlightenment, Supreme Sword Immortal!

Chapter 209: Ye Ping Gains Enlightenment, Supreme Sword Immortal!

Xia Qian was silent.

He completely understood why his father’s character had changed drastically after he returned.

It turned out…

It turned out that he had found the Tenth Prince.

He was not the only one who knew about the legend of the Tenth Prince. In fact, many people in the dynasty knew about it.

Back then, when the Tenth Prince was born, there was auspiciousness that descended from the sky and golden dragons and golden phoenixes circled around the entire Great Xia Dynasty Palace for 18 hours.

There were even people who saw immortals giving blessings.

The people worshiped, and the other four dynasties were also moved.

At that time, some people concluded that the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty was blessed by the heavens to help the Great Xia Dynasty complete the intended unification, which was unprecedented.

That was also the reason why the Tenth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty had been receiving lots of attention after he was born.

The reason that Xia Qian remembered it so clearly was because he was seven years old that year and was reciting an essay he had written in class.

He thought he would be praised and rewarded by his father, but to his surprise, after the birth of the Tenth Prince, his father simply walked out of the hall without even looking at him.

Everyone in the hall left.

That was also the reason that an unknown seed appeared in his heart.

He had longed for the limelight since he was a child and wanted to be the center of attention of countless people. However, there was not a single person who wanted to listen to the essay that he had prepared confidently for half a year.

That made him furious.

Xia Qian even resented the Tenth Prince, especially because of the many things that happened later.

However, one day, the Tenth Prince suddenly disappeared and that made Xia Qian feel very relieved.

He was even filled with unparalleled joy.

The only pity was that the Tenth Prince did not die and had merely gone missing.

Although there were rumors that the Tenth Prince might have died, Xia Qian was not very convinced. After all, nothing could be confirmed unless the corpse was found.

However, as time passed little by little, Xia Qian became the Crown Prince and gradually forgot about the Tenth Prince.

However, he did not genuinely forget about him.

The Tenth Prince was like a thorn in his heart that could not be removed.

The scene that happened that year gave Xia Qian a huge impact.

He could never forget the scene of everyone celebrating the birth of the Tenth Prince in the Great Xia Dynasty Palace back then.

The feeling of being in the limelight and receiving everyone’s attention was his greatest desire.

However, it was all taken away by someone else. Hence, he was naturally disgruntled and full of jealousy and resentment.

However, he did not expect that the Tenth Prince had actually returned.

The Tenth Prince actually appeared in his world again.

He was completely terrified.

In the imperial palace, he wasn’t afraid of the other princes at all.

He knew that the princes would not be able to do anything even if he gained lots of merit.

‘Can they shake my position?’

‘No, obviously not.’

However, the Tenth Prince was different because he might really shake their position.

‘No wonder.’

‘No wonder.’

‘No wonder Father said: do you really think I wouldn’t dare to change the Crown Prince?’

‘Father had obviously met the Tenth Prince so he wants to replace me with him.’

Various thoughts shuttled through Xia Qian’s mind.

Seeing the way Xia Qian was behaving, Taishang Xuanji immediately grabbed Xia Qian’s arm.

“Crown Prince, bear this in mind!”

“You are the Crown Prince, the future emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.”

“No one will be able to change your father’s mind. No matter who it may be, what you have to do now is to pretend you know nothing.”

“You can do and eat whatever you want in the palace but don’t get up to anything foolish. Don’t be negligent either.”

“Your father still wants you to be the emperor, you hear?” Taishang Xuanji said.

He was well aware of everything and knew what the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was thinking too. Hence, he had been continuously comforting Xia Qian, lest he suffered a huge blow because of the matter.

In fact, it wouldn’t matter even if he suffered a blow. Most importantly, he shouldn’t get up to any nonsense.

Otherwise, no one would be able to save him.

Sensing Taishang Xuanji’s arm, Xia Qian gradually regained his composure.

He took a deep breath.

He took another deep breath.

His body trembled slightly, and in the end, he even took out a red pill, which was the Mind-Calming Jade Pill.

He swallowed the pill, and after a short while, he fell silent.

His eyes were clear and clean.

“I understand now, Uncle.”

“Regardless of whether he’s alive or not, I’m still the Crown Prince, and since I’m the Crown Prince, no one can shake me.”

“What I have to do now is to be quiet and do nothing, which is better than doing anything.”

“Is that so?”

Xia Qian’s voice was calm and he no longer sounded as flustered as he used to be. After seeing this scene, Taishang Xuanji was slightly silent for some reason.

Xia Qian was right, but Taishang Xuanji felt that something was amiss.

It was not a good thing that the Crown Prince had suddenly become so calm and collected.

He had a secret. Actually, to be more precise, the Crown Prince had a secret which was known to only two people besides the Crown Prince himself.

One was Taishang Xuanji, and the other was Taishang Xuanji’s mother.

The secret was that whenever the Crown Prince was extremely agitated, he would become really intelligent in a single moment.

He would also become extremely calm and smart like an emotionless person.

The Crown Prince was suffering a relapse.

Legend had it that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty who established the dynasty had similar symptoms.

In the opinion of the bystanders, it might be a good thing but for Taishang Xuanji, it was not a good thing.

At this point, he could no longer see through Xia Qian.

“Uncle, it’s going to be hard on you. I’ll stay in the palace and not meddle with the affairs.”

Xia Qian said with a calm gaze.

As soon as he said that, Taishang Xuanji fell silent too.

He did not know if what he said today was right or wrong.

However, no matter what, he hoped that the Crown Prince would not mess around because the best way to deal with the current situation was to stay put and not do anything.

“In this case, I’ll take my leave.”

Taishang Xuanji didn’t say anything else.

He turned around and left.

However, when he reached the door, Xia Qian spoke again.

“Uncle, you will be supporting me, right?”

His voice made Taishang Xuanji freeze in shock.

He was at a complete loss for words.

‘Do I support him?’

Of course he supported his nephew but after Xia Qian asked such a question, many things seemed to have a different connotation.

However, he thought about it and finally gave an answer.

“I support the Crown Prince.”

After saying that, he left.

There were two meanings to those words.

If Xia Qian was still the Crown Prince, he would naturally support him, but it’s hard to say now that Xia Qian was no longer the Crown Prince.

After hearing his reply, Xia Qian was neither angry nor displeased.

Instead, he said with a smile, “Take care, Uncle.”

After saying that, he was the only one left in the main hall.

He stayed silent for a long time.

At the same time, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Xiao Muxue was bewildered.

She had been watching Ye Ping picking up his sword and then releasing it again for the entire day.

She still didn’t know what Ye Ping was trying to do.

However, she was too embarrassed to disturb Ye Ping and could only wait there quietly.

However, Xiao Muxue had already thought about it. If Ye Ping were to continue going on like this, she would interrupt him.

Time passed little by little.

On the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.

Half a month passed.

In the past half a month, Ye Ping had been constantly holding his sword and putting it down.

His eyes were full of confusion.

In the beginning, he really could not comprehend anything, but as time passed little by little, he gradually discovered the subtleties and arcaneness within.

Unfortunately, he wanted to grasp it but he felt like he couldn’t.

Ye Ping was very troubled.

Fifteen days.

For a full fifteen days, he had been repeating those actions without stopping to eat or rest. He lost track of time too.

It was not something that an ordinary person could do at all.

He was vexed!

He was vexed!

He was obsessed!

He was obsessed!

Ye Ping felt like his brain was about to explode, but he just couldn’t imagine what logic was behind it.

At this moment, Ye Ping closed his eyes.

This was the first time he had closed his eyes in fifteen days.

It was his first time resting.

At this moment, Ye Ping suddenly became enlightened.

However, when he closed his eyes…

All of a sudden, several gusts of wind blew over.

The clear breeze blew over and made the strands of hair on Ye Ping’s forehead fly up.

At this moment, Ye Ping was enlightened.

He was suddenly enlightened.

Su Changyu wanted him to comprehend the Dao and not just pick up the sword and put it down.

Yes, he wanted him to comprehend the Dao.

He wanted him to comprehend all of that.

He first had to understand Su Changyu’s purpose of making him hold the sword and then put it down again.

He couldn’t understand it at first and simply repeated the action.

However, in fact, the sword that Su Changyu wanted him to hold was not the one before him.

Instead, it was the one in his heart.

In particular, the words that he had said before.

Su Changyu wanted him to first release the sword before picking it up.

Under normal circumstances, one would be asked to pick up the sword before putting it down.

However, Su Changyu asked him to put it down before picking it up.

That was the subtlety of it.

Release the sword! Release the sword!

‘Put down the sword in my heart.’

‘What is the sword in my heart?’

‘My obsession must be the sword in my heart.’

Thinking of this, Ye Ping took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He forgot all the sword techniques in his mind.

Four Thunder Sword Technique? Forget it!

Heavenly River Swordsmanship? Forget it!

Endless Sword Diagram? Forget it!

Ye Ping forgot all his sword techniques.

The entire process was extremely painful, but Ye Ping still managed to forget them all.

It took two hours.

Ye Ping no longer had any sword techniques in his memory.

However, he didn’t choose to practice his sword techniques immediately and instead got up to walk to the sword mark left behind by Su Changyu again.

Looking at the sword mark on the ground which was already blurry, Ye Ping closed his eyes again.

He no longer knew any sword techniques or swordsmanship.

He tried to learn again.

Forgetting the sword meant forgetting the obsession in one’s heart.

Holding the sword meant picking up the supreme sword in one’s heart.

This time, Ye Ping was not trying to comprehend anything, but rather, he wanted to find the Heart of the Sword he had at first.

There was now another difficult problem in front of him.

There were 30,000 types of sword techniques.

‘What is the supreme sword?’

Ye Ping once again slipped into deep thought.

‘What is the supreme sword?’

There was the supreme sword intent in the Jin Nation Academy.

Unfortunately, he did not comprehend anything.

Meanwhile, another gust of clear wind blew over.

At this moment, Ye Ping was enlightened.

“Senior Brother, I understand.”

Below the rear cliff, Ye Ping smiled.

He had completely understood.

Previously, he informed Su Changyu that he had not comprehended the supreme sword intent of the Jin Nation Academy.

Su Changyu said that he still didn’t understand, and at first Ye Ping could not quite figure out what Su Changyu meant.

However, Ye Ping now completely understood.

What Su Changyu meant was not that he felt that Ye Ping had not comprehended the supreme sword intent, but that he had not comprehended the meaning of his words.

The supreme sword intent was in the Jin Nation Academy but not either.

Yes, the supreme sword intent was in the Jin Nation Academy but not either.

Due to the fact that the supreme sword intent was omnipresent, it was contained in everything.

It was up to him to comprehend it.

Hence, the real sword intent was in heaven and earth, between the moon and the sun, and in the mountains and rivers.

Ye Ping was overjoyed as he felt that he had gained a complete epiphany.

However, as Ye Ping was overjoyed, a wind that appeared out of nowhere blew in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Several fallen leaves were blown up, and the leaves of an ancient tree rustled.

It was a mountain breeze that grew stronger and stronger, from the Qingyun Dao Sect all the way to the Qingyun Mountains.

Ye Ping was continuously pondering about it and had gained a complete comprehension and enlightenment.

‘There is supreme sword intent in the heaven and earth.’

‘There is supreme sword intent in the sun and moon.’

‘There is supreme sword intent in the mountains and rivers.’

‘But where is the true supreme sword intent?’

‘The answer is, in my heart.’

Buzz!

Buzz!

At this moment, faint rays of golden light began to spread around Ye Ping while a flying sword appeared behind him.

The flying sword was simple and plain but it emitted an inexplicable terror.

It was Ye Ping’s Sword of the Heart.

It was also Ye Ping’s supreme sword intent and supreme Sword Dao.

Buzz!

Inside the Qingyun Dao Sect, Su Changyu, who was reading the ‘Express Four Thunder Swordsmanship’, suddenly discovered that his sword, Frosty White, was trembling violently.

However, Su Changyu had no idea and was simply pressing the sword down with a frown.

“Do you want to run?”

All the swords in the Qingyun Dao Sect were buzzing.

Countless swords in the entire Qingyun Mountain Range were also trembling, even those in the Baiyun Ancient City also began buzzing.

Towards the end, all the swords in Qingzhou buzzed too.

Countless flying swords in the entire Jin Nation started buzzing.

In the Jin Nation Academy.

Countless elders and scholars, too, were astonished. They did not know what was going on but it seemed impressive.

The swords in their hands were also buzzing.

“Elder, what exactly is going on?”

“Yeah, Elder, what’s going on? Why are our swords all contending for no reason?”

All the students were curious and unaware of what was going on.

Even some elders had no idea what happened.

However, Li Jiang knew what happened.

He stood on top of the cliff and stroked his beard calmly.

“A supreme Sword Immortal is going to appear in Jin Nation.”

He chuckled and his words made all the students of the Jin Nation shocked.

‘Peerless Sword Immortal?’

‘What does that mean?’

In less than five minutes, all the swords in the entire Ten Nations were buzzing and contending.

The people were stunned as they did not know what happened.

However, powerhouses soon came out of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion to reveal the truth.

Someone had comprehended the supreme sword intent and broke through the first and most important realm. He could prove the Dao of the supreme Sword Immortal in the future.

As soon as the news was released, the Ten Nations were in an uproar.

What did the supreme Dao of Sword Immortals mean?

It meant that it was invincible.

In ancient times, there were immortal positions.

In the supreme Sword Immortal Dao, anyone who comprehended it would become a supreme Sword Immortal.

How could the people of the world not be shocked?

What did a supreme Sword Immortal mean?

It could contend with the five dynasties of the world and the individual strength was akin to the strength of a nation.

Of course, he must be the best Sword Immortal, not a half-step one.

Those who had high attainments in the Sword Dao knew that the path of the Sword Immortal was divided into three realms.

After breaking through the third level, one would be the ultimate Sword Immortal.

However, not to mention the breakthrough of the third, even a breakthrough through the first was the dream of countless Sword Dao cultivators.

Legend had it that the world’s best Sword Immortal, Gu Jianxian, was only at the second realm.

However, he would never be able to break through to the third realm in this lifetime.

Now, someone actually stepped into the first realm of the supreme Sword Immortal Dao.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of many parties.

In the Great Xia Dynasty Palace.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was in the main hall and there was a man clad in golden armor kneeling in front of him.

“Your Majesty, there is a young man at the Heavenly Secret Platform who has stepped into the first realm of the supreme Sword Immortal Dao.”

“It is near the Baiyun Ancient City of Jin Nation.”

“Your Majesty, should we send someone to investigate?”

The man said.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who was seated high in the main hall, couldn’t help but have a slight change in expression.

Baiyun Ancient City?

This!

This!

‘Isn’t that where Changyu lives?’

‘Changyu Is the person who proved the Dao?’

‘Even if it’s not Changyu, it should be Changyu’s juniors, right?’

‘Okay.’

‘Okay.’

‘Okay.’

‘My son really has what it takes to be an emperor.’

‘Hahahaha’

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was very calm on the surface, but deep down, he was smiling gleefully.

He was very agitated.

He was extremely excited.

“Your Majesty?”

The man in golden armor lowered his head and continued to ask with his eyes full of curiosity.

He didn’t know if he should deal with it or not.

However, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty shook his head.

“You don’t have to check. Seal off all information and get the people at the Heavenly Secret Platform to disrupt the Heavenly Secret. Don’t let the enemies find out.”

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty said.

“Yes!”

The latter did not hesitate and agreed directly before leaving.

After he left, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was as happy as a lark as he paced back and forth in the hall while continuously muttering to himself.

“My son has the aptitude of an emperor.”

“My son has the aptitude of an emperor.”

In the Qingyun Dao Sect.

The wind swept through the entire Qingyun Mountain Range, and there were dark clouds that covered the sky while lightning flashed.

Those who didn’t know might think that a powerhouse was going through a Tribulation Transcendence.

Xiao Muxue’s eyes were full of shock.

She immediately knew what Ye Ping was doing.

He had succeeded in comprehending the Dao.

He was about to comprehend the supreme sword intent and step out of the first level of the supreme Sword Dao.

It was an unprecedented event.

However, it was quite outrageous because it happened to Ye Ping.

It was absurd.

‘This is unbelievable.’

‘How old is Ye Ping?’

‘About 24, huh?’

‘How many years has Ye Ping been in immortal cultivation?’

‘About a little over half a year, right?’

‘This… is a little too exaggerated, isn’t it?’

Under normal circumstances, even a supreme genius of the Sword Dao would take 3,000 years to take the first step. Even then, it felt quick to her.

Besides, he was a 24-year-old man.

It wasn’t just him.

Not far away, Gu Jianxian appeared there too.

He was looking at Ye Ping in shock.

His eyes contained a hint of envy.
