Chapter 62: Ancestral Sword Techniques

Chapter 62: Ancestral Sword Techniques

Main Hall of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

Su Zhan entered the hall and respectfully saluted Qin Jincheng, who was standing ahead. He went straight to the point and said, "Sect Master, do you have any blank jade scrolls now?"

"Hmm?" Qin Jincheng was about to ask about Su Zhan's progress during his seclusion, but before he could speak, he heard Su Zhan asking a completely unrelated question. He paused for a moment, puzzled, and said, "I still have quite a few in my storage ring. Why do you ask about this?"

The other elders in the hall, who were discussing matters of importance, also looked at Su Zhan with confusion.

Instead of answering, Su Zhan continued, "Among the sword techniques of the twenty-seven ancestors, excluding those that are the same, there are a total of sixteen styles. Which of these techniques are still preserved within the Sword Sect?"

"As for those techniques apart from the Heavenly Cloud Sword Technique, the Haodang Sword Technique, and the Nine Curved Sword Scripture, the others have all been lost," Qin Jincheng replied, feeling a bit disappointed. "It's embarrassing to say that despite the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's thousand-year heritage, the sword techniques of our ancestors have been lost due to various reasons. If not for that, our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect wouldn't be any weaker than the royal family in the Xia Kingdom."

"It's alright," Su Zhan smiled. "I'll make up for it."

"What?!" Qin Jincheng was suddenly shocked, his voice raising.

Realizing his outburst, he cleared his throat and suppressed the excitement in his heart as he looked at Su Zhan. "Su Zhan, what you're saying, is it true?"

"It's true. Sect Master, give me thirteen blank jade scrolls," Su Zhan replied.

"Good. If you can truly complete the techniques, all the disciples and elders of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect will greatly benefit!" Qin Jincheng said. He took out thirteen blank jade scrolls and controlled them with his true qi, suspending them in front of Su Zhan.

The more advanced techniques and martial arts of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect were all contained within these blank jade scrolls. The engravings on them were simple, requiring only the activation of true qi to stimulate the "engraved" inscriptions within. By entering their mental energy into the jade scrolls, practitioners could record the techniques and martial arts in their minds. Later generations only needed to activate their true qi to view the techniques and martial arts, making it convenient and efficient.

Without wasting any time, Su Zhan picked up one scroll and placed it against his forehead, his eyes slightly closed as he entered his mental energy into the jade scroll.

"Can Su Zhan truly complete the techniques?"

"Shh! Don't disturb him!"

Just as an elder questioned in doubt, Qin Jincheng reprimanded him.

Instantly, everyone fell silent. Like the other elders, they watched Su Zhan with a mixture of doubt and anticipation.

One minute later, Su Zhan removed the jade scroll from his forehead and set it aside. He then picked up another blank jade scroll and began to record.

So fast?

It seems that they might not be the genuine ancestral sword techniques. Perhaps they are some kind of insights or notes? The elders speculated in their hearts, but they didn't feel too disappointed.

They didn't have high hopes that Su Zhan could truly complete the ancestral sword techniques. The anticipated result was within their expectations, so they naturally didn't feel let down.

Qin Jincheng's excited heart also calmed down. Upon careful consideration, even if Su Zhan had extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, he wasn't a direct descendant of those ancestors. He had only gained insights into the sword intent, so how could he obtain the ancestral sword techniques? I was thinking too much!

With this realization, Qin Jincheng's mind settled, and he patiently waited for Su Zhan to finish the recordings, eager to see what the jade scrolls contained.

After more than ten minutes, Su Zhan completed the recording of all thirteen blank jade scrolls and placed them in the center of the hall.

"Sect Master, please verify them. If they are correct, I will take my leave," Su Zhan said.

"Very well," Qin Jincheng replied. Using his true qi, he took two scrolls and activated them, causing a screen of densely packed small characters to appear.

His gaze fixed on the screen, and the calmness that had settled in his heart was instantly replaced with excitement.

"Swift Wind Sword Technique! This is a technique obtained by the 16th generation sect master from a relic. There is a partial copy of this technique within the sect, and this scroll records the complete version of the technique!"

"And this one, the Flame Dragon Sword Technique, is a specialized technique practiced by the 22nd generation sect master. Although I have never seen the original version of this technique, the recording on this jade scroll, even if not identical, is of the same level and intricacy as the true Flame Dragon Sword Technique!"

Qin Jincheng's hand trembled as he held the jade scrolls. He took a deep breath and looked at Su Zhan, his voice trembling due to his excitement. "Su, Su Zhan, how did you obtain these techniques?"

Su Zhan smiled and replied, "I obtained the ancestral sword intent and insights into swordsmanship. Using them as a foundation, I deduced the original methods of practicing these techniques."

"You deduced the techniques based on the ancestral sword intent and your insights into swordsmanship?" Qin Jincheng felt that his understanding had been completely shattered and asked in disbelief.

"Yes! Is there a problem with that?" Su Zhan looked at Qin Jincheng with some surprise.

In fact, when the sword dao halo was activated in the Sword Tomb, he had already obtained the techniques within the ancestral sword intents of those Sword Sect ancestors. However, at that time, he was busy assimilating the absorbed sword intent and insights into his own sword cultivation, improving the Firestar Sword Technique. It was only today that he had the time to come here.

Upon hearing Su Zhan's words, Qin Jincheng opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. To deduce a complete technique based on the sword intent and insights into swordsmanship And he asked me if there was a problem

That's not something a normal person can say! How should I respond???

"Forget it, I'm leaving. If there are any issues with the techniques, you can contact me through the identity token." Seeing Qin Jincheng's stunned expression, Su Zhan shook his head and didn't want to waste any more time. He turned and walked out of the hall, heading towards the White Cloud Peak.

After Su Zhan left, the elders in the hall also picked up the jade scrolls.

Only those who activated them with their true qi could see the contents of the scrolls. So, although they heard Qin Jincheng's words, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and were still somewhat skeptical.

"According to the sect master's words, it seems that Su Zhan has truly completed the ancestral sword techniques!"

"There are so many ancestral sword techniques. How could he have completed all of them in such a short time? Perhaps the ones the sect master took were the actual techniques, and the rest are just some insights and notes on practicing the techniques!"

"That could be true. Completing the techniques is an incredible featholy shit!"

As one elder spoke, he activated the jade scroll. After a quick glance at the screen, his excitement soared, and he blurted out a curse.

"It's true! This is real! The Grand Star Sword Technique! It's the technique I've longed for! I've been searching for it for years, only obtaining fragments. But today, I've actually witnessed the complete Grand Star Sword Technique! With this technique, my strength will surely soar! Hahaha!"

"I have the Gale Wind Sword Technique! It was the renowned technique of the 12th generation Sect Master!"

"Hahaha, the Radiant Light Sword Technique! It's the technique of the 2nd generation Sect Master! It only existed in legends! And yet, I've obtained it!"

Excited voices echoed in the hall of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect.

After the excitement subsided, the elders calmed down slightly, but their faces were filled with extreme confusion as they looked at Qin Jincheng.

"Sect Master, is it really possible to deduce techniques through understanding sword intent and insights into swordsmanship? You've been comprehending in the Sword Tomb for so many years"

"Cough, cough!" Qin Jincheng glared at the elder, who immediately shivered and hurriedly fell silent.

"I can assure you that no one can deduce complete techniques just through sword intent and insights into swordsmanship!"

"As for Su Zhan" Qin Jincheng added with some helplessness, "Don't compare me to this freak. This guy is simply not human!"

The elders fell silent.

Then, one by one, they nodded in agreement.

At this time, Xia Qitian's carriage had arrived at the entrance to the inner sect.

"Your Highness, Su Zhan is still not here!" The steward of the Eastern Palace whispered.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qitian suddenly walked out of the carriage and stood on the front deck. His gaze swept over the disciples who were intimidated by the presence of his carriage, but he didn't spot Su Zhan's figure. Xia Qitian's face darkened.

"Let's go to the White Cloud Peak! This is the last bit of patience this palace has left for that Su Zhan!"
