Chapter 1851 — The Peerless Sword-Dao Young Master
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
But choosing me as your first opponent is a mistake—because you, too, cultivate the sword Dao.
"
Shen Mu's palm rested on the Chaos Sword, a smile on his face.
Behind him, atop the World Tree, a Dao fruit blazed with brilliant light—his sword-Dao fruit.
Though he had not yet attained the Dao through Chaos, his sword Dao had attained the Dao one step earlier.
The sword-Dao fruit resonated with his Chaos Sword, making the Dao sword forged of Chaos Stone grow mightier and mightier. "The reason I chose Fourth Senior Brother is that Fourth Senior Brother is a fraction weaker than Third Senior Brother.
It is not that your strength is weak—it is that your Dao heart is a fraction weaker. " Shen Mu smiled.
"Against Third Senior Brother, I have no means whatsoever to prevail.
But against Fourth Senior Brother, I can win! "
"That is because you have never seen my true strength. " Young Master Zixiao drew his sword, and the Dao sword tore through the air.
The moment he moved, he unleashed the sword of attained Dao.
A gleam of sword light reflected in Shen Mu's pupils; the might of the sword Dao made his pupils contract sharply, leaving nothing else in his field of vision. Sword Style Twenty-Three! He, Kaihuang, and Jiang Baigui had perfected the sword Dao and deduced it to Sword Style Twenty.
Sword Style Twenty was the sword of domains. After that, the progress of the sword Dao had slowed; few under heaven could comprehend Sword Style Twenty.
In the time that followed, Kaihuang Shen Ye deduced Sword Style Twenty-One and thereby became a hall-master-level existence, cultivating his Dao hall.
He conjectured that Sword Style Twenty-Two existed, and even Sword Style Twenty-Three. He even held a startling conjecture: Sword Style Twenty-Three was the sword of attaining the Dao.
Anyone who could master it would directly attain the Dao through the sword with that single move!
Shen Mu, Jiang Baigui, Kaihuang Shen Ye, and Lizheng Su Muzhe—the most powerful sword cultivators of Jingping—had gathered to complete Sword Style Twenty-Two, but to this day they had finished only a little over half.
As for Sword Style Twenty-Three, they had not even touched its shadow!
Little did Shen Mu imagine that here he would witness the very Sword Style Twenty-Three that Kaihuang Shen Ye and the others yearned for in their dreams!
No wonder Young Master Zixiao had found it so difficult to attain the Dao, and had needed the Zixiao Dao-Attaining Melody, created by his wife, to succeed.
In his own era, he must surely have been a fanatically devoted sword cultivator, utterly obsessed with the sword—deducing the sword Dao to Sword Style Twenty-Two, then setting out to create Sword Style Twenty-Three and attain the Dao in one stroke!
What Shen Mu, Kaihuang, and the others had failed to achieve in three and a half billion years, he had achieved! Every one of the seven young masters of the Miluo Palace was unique in the world! He had accomplished what even the master of the Miluo Palace had never accomplished—he deserved more than ever to be called the Sword Young Master!
