The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 69 - 67: Dao Scripture [Part 4 Update, Please Vote!]

Chapter 69: Chapter 67: Dao Scripture [Part 4 Update, Please Vote!]

As their gazes met, the Big Ice Cube, obstinate by nature, was the first to turn his head away, avoiding eye contact.

Chu Huaixu was unfazed and awaited the orders from the White-robed Steward.

At this moment, the Time Measuring Incense burning in front of the steward was still Han Shuangjiang’s.

The incense hadn’t been burning long.

The steward was somewhat surprised: "It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Registered Disciple break through four barriers so easily."

The middle-aged man had worked in the Library Pavilion for many years. Those Registered Disciples who left a deep impression on him often made a name for themselves in the Inner Sect in the future.

Currently, most people, including the White-robed Steward, tacitly believed that the opportunity at the bottom of the Cold Pool likely belonged to this girl!

Yet, the handsome man in the black robe seemed far too relaxed.

Indeed, Chu Huaixu exuded an inexplicable sense of ease, both inside and out.

He turned to look at the White-robed Steward and saw him light another stick of Time Measuring Incense. Chu Huaixu then raised his right hand, gently tapping forward with two fingers.

He was humorously tapping lightly on the first barrier!

And he tapped it seven or eight times in quick succession, as if the feel of it was quite pleasant.

Amidst everyone’s bewildered gazes, the smile on his face vanished completely.

"I have a rough idea of the difficulty." Chu Huaixu felt the resistance at his fingertips.

His brow bones shaded his eyes, his bone structure was excellent, and at that moment, his eyes narrowed slightly and his eyebrows naturally arched a bit.

Keeping his two fingers pointed forward, Chu Huaixu moved!

In a sudden motion forward, his black robe flapped violently.

"Swoosh—!" This sound rang out four times in a few short breaths.

His long, black hair danced wildly behind him as he darted forward, breaking through four barriers in one breath with just a single point.

...

...

The first floor of the Library Pavilion fell into a brief silence.

The Registered Disciple in the Profound Level area was left gaping.

The barrier he struggled with seemed as fragile as paper to this man in the black robe.

Only Han Shuangjiang was slightly surprised, then felt it was quite natural.

She now understood why Chu Huaixu said she should go first; otherwise, she’d feel pressured.

"This dead fox actually made such a big show on purpose!" The Big Ice Cube maintained a cold expression, but his mind was full of complaints.

Chu Huaixu slowly lowered his raised finger, relaxed, and looked at Han Shuangjiang.

Since I said to let you wait there for me, I definitely won’t keep you waiting long.

The White-robed Steward looked deeply at his back, unable to help but exclaim, "Body Refining Cultivator?"

As a Third Realm cultivator, he could clearly see that this lad had an exceptionally strong physique.

Without Body Refining, it would be impossible to possess such terrifying power.

The four barriers set by the Daoist Sect were like nothing before him.

"Body Refining?" A buzz of discussion arose.

The fellow brothers and sisters looked at Chu Huaixu with eyes as if observing an oddity.

As everyone knows, Body Refining Cultivators stand at the bottom of the hierarchy in the Cultivation Realm.

Most who choose Body Refining have extremely poor innate talent and generally possess a Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo.

After all, few would choose hardship and self-abuse when they could have a good life.

Of course, the atmosphere in the Daoist Sect has always been good, prioritizing fate technique over talent.

People dislike Body Refining Cultivators mainly because of their temperament.

It’s unavoidable; other cultivators have many sophisticated long-range attack techniques, making Body Refining stream seem quite crude and vulgar.

Over time, most Body Refining Cultivators develop two bad habits.

The first is having a foul mouth, aggressively taunting to force others into close combat, maximizing their strength.

The second is loving sneak attacks, as if we Body Refining folks trained our brains into muscles as well? The Body Refining stream is meant for close-range ambushes!

And once a sneak attack succeeds, it’s extremely lethal.

In conclusion, Body Refining Cultivators are known for being foul-mouthed and having low quality.

——This is why the Cultivation Realm has always disliked them.

Chu Huaixu faced the stares from his fellow brothers and sisters, not receiving the imagined praise; how could he not know what they were thinking?

So he immediately cupped his hands and emphasized: "Inner and Outer Cultivation! Inner and Outer Cultivation!"

Heh! Even I look down on Body Refining Cultivators!

Upon hearing that this dignified junior brother was practicing Inner and Outer Cultivation, everyone displayed a relieved expression.

"I didn’t expect him to have such determination!"

The delayed applause finally erupted. Daoist Sect disciples have never been stingy with praise for their peers, as well as disdain for outsiders.

Even the Registered Disciple in the Profound Level area, initially feeling a bit ashamed, eventually spoke a congratulation.

In the end, it was the White-robed Steward who maintained order, saying in a deep voice: "Alright, alright, disperse now, let them calm down and choose their Cultivation Techniques properly!"

"Steward Luo is driving us away again," joked some Outer Sect Disciples, clearly well-acquainted.

Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang exchanged glances before they each started selecting their desired Cultivation Techniques.

With the Daoist Sect’s profound heritage and only First Realm techniques available, there’s still a full shelf of Celestial Level Techniques.

Neatly arranged Jade Scrolls were displayed, but trial viewing was not allowed.

Each Jade Scroll was accompanied by a small booklet containing an introduction to the technique and the recorded preface of the technique.

Han Shuangjiang was very patient, reading one book after another.

Chu Huaixu stood there flipping through books aimlessly, but in reality, he was constantly using [Information Detection].

""Yin Yang Returning Essence Skill", Compatibility 13%."

""Profound Thunder Creation Formulas", Compatibility 27%."

""Nine Heavens Wind and Cloud Treasure Record", Compatibility 23%."

Chu Huaixu knew that currently, he was of Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo, so his compatibility with Celestial Level Techniques would not be too high, and he was mentally prepared for this.

Low compatibility means spending more experience points when leveling up in the future.

But cultivating a High Tier Technique with a Lower Grade Spiritual Embryo is already a matter of doing more with less.

However, Chu Huaixu didn’t care; he had ways to earn experience points, and he had ways to improve his Spiritual Embryo Attribute in the future.

He just wanted to stand taller among the short ones.

"Pick one with relatively higher compatibility, then one that suits my intention," he thought.

Some of these cultivation techniques, Chu Huaixu had heard of, and some he had never heard of.

Every so often, he would glance at the situation on Han Shuangjiang’s side.

The cold-faced girl also occasionally sneaked a peek at what Chu Huaixu was reading.

After a while, Chu Huaixu, whose five senses had significantly enhanced, noticed she was sneaking a peek at him again, so he smiled and said, "Personally, I recommend this "Six Celestial True Scripture" to you."

Chu Huaixu remembered clearly, Han Shuangjiang had been revealed by players to be practicing this cultivation technique.

"Why?" the Big Ice Cube asked curiously, picking up a small booklet next to the Jade Scroll to browse through.

"I’m not telling you," Chu Huaixu replied.

Han Shuangjiang glanced at him, couldn’t be bothered with him, and continued reading the booklet’s introduction.

After reading it, she was indeed tempted.

However, given Chu Huaixu’s cheeky attitude, the cold-faced girl intentionally put the booklet of "Six Celestial True Scripture" back and went to look into other cultivation techniques.

Seeing the Big Ice Cube’s behavior, he chuckled to himself, continued flipping through the booklets, and kept using [Information Detection].

"Whoa! There’s actually one with a 96% compatibility!" Chu Huaixu was shocked.

But quickly, his hand flipping the page stiffened, and he didn’t really want to read this booklet anymore.

"Damn, are you trying to make me fall into the same pit twice?"

"With such high compatibility, it’s definitely a Body Refining Technique!" He instantly realized.

Through the tempering of "Refining Sword Formulas", he was almost becoming a Body Refining Sacred Body.

Sure enough, this technique called "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method" looked soft and delicate by name, and it included the word ’Heart Method’, but in reality, it was a Body Refining Divine Skill.

"The Daoist Sect lives up to its name; even it has Celestial Level Techniques of the Body Refining Stream. Such lower-class cultivation streams, looking across the entire Profound Yellow Realm, couldn’t even gather a few Celestial Level Techniques." Chu Huaixu marveled.

He curiously looked at the booklet and felt increasingly stiff the more he read.

"Turns out it wasn’t intentionally named ’Heart Method’, it was my breakup of the sentence that was wrong, it should be Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart·Method, is the heart harder than the bone?"

"One sword strikes, hah, I have a heart of iron! Can’t break it, can’t pierce it!" He suspected that the senior who created this technique thought himself quite humorous.

Chu Huaixu directly put the booklet back.

—Body refining, even a dog wouldn’t practice it.

He continued to look further and vowed never to look at this "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method" again, not even for a glance.

"I have [Sword Heart Clarity], once I have my Lifebound Spirit Sword, I’ll be a free and unrestrained Sword Cultivator."

"Who wants to be a big muscleman!"

In the entire first floor of the Library Pavilion, there weren’t too many or too few Celestial Level Techniques, and Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang quickly went through all of them.

"I’ve chosen, what about you?" the Big Ice Cube asked.

She naturally chose "Six Celestial True Scripture".

"Wait for me a bit, I’m still mulling over it," Chu Huaixu frowned secretly.

He now had three decent choices in front of him.

The first was to choose "Six Celestial True Scripture" as well.

Although the compatibility was a mere 26%, he could cultivate the same technique as Han Shuangjiang.

This mindset was like how he imparted "Refining Sword Formulas" to Xu Ziqing. Chu Huaixu was a cheater, but the other party was genuinely cultivating, using them as a reference.

The Big Ice Cube is a Profound Yin Body, her cultivation progress would be rapid.

Others cultivate their techniques as if feeling their way through a river.

If he cultivates "Six Celestial True Scripture", he would cross the river by feeling Han Shuangjiang.

The other two choices were called "True Understanding of Slaughter" and "Dao Scripture".

The former had a rather flashy name, while the latter seemed much more simple and honest.

These two Celestial Level Techniques had the highest compatibility with Chu Huaixu except for "Ice Skin Jade Bone Heart Method".

Both broke 30%, one at 31%, and the other at 33%.

Judging from names and the booklet’s introduction, most people would choose the former.

Because "True Understanding of Slaughter" had a full page of description of features.

But "Dao Scripture" was different, its booklet’s first page only had two sentences written.

The first sentence was an evaluation and a description of this technique’s features, totaling just four words — Central Justice and Peace.

The emphasis was on the second sentence.

"This cultivation technique was originally a Nameless Technique, but because it is from the Dao Ancestor, it is called "Dao Scripture"."
