Chapter 224: Chapter 166: Law

Lu Changfeng sat there, calming his mind as his thoughts sank into the interface.

A voice reached Lu Changfeng’s ears.

"Changfeng, long time no see."

Lu Changfeng looked up, and a familiar face entered his view. It was none other than Zhao Xingtian.

It had been years, and Zhao Xingtian looked much more world-weary.

His cultivation had also reached the Silver Bone Realm.

His cultivation speed couldn’t compare to Lu Changfeng, who possessed a Heroic Root Bone.

Among ordinary people, however, this speed was already extremely fast.

"Where’d you run off to?" Lu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Where else could I go? To the Northwest, of course. The Xuanyuan Sword Sect is now a Sect of the Desert North Prefecture," Zhao Xingtian said, sitting down in the chair beside Lu Changfeng.

Apparently, after the Saint Demon Sect took over Yunyang Prefecture, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect made the swift decision to head for the remote Desert North Prefecture.

Six or seven years ago, the Celestial Mountain Dragon Family had already brought the Desert North Prefecture under its control and established the "Celestial Dragon Country."

At first, everyone in the world thought the Long Family was insane.

But over the years, the Celestial Dragon Country had unexpectedly flourished, growing better and better.

Many Martial Arts Powers, with the Long Family’s permission, had stationed themselves in the Celestial Dragon Country.

Furthermore, the Celestial Dragon Country was located on a high plateau with a harsh environment, so the surrounding Demon Dao Influences had no designs on it.

After joining the Celestial Dragon Country, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect gained a respectable political status there and had now finally caught its breath.

Zhao Xingtian was still the Young Sect Leader, but the old Sect Master no longer managed the Sect’s affairs, which were now almost entirely in Zhao Xingtian’s hands.

He had come to this Sword Discussion Conference at his own request.

After a slight hesitation, Lu Changfeng spoke up. "Your son is right here in Sword City. Have you seen him?"

Hearing this, Zhao Xingtian lowered his head slightly.

"After the discussions are over, I’ll go see him."

Lu Changfeng nodded slightly. "The boy inherited your Talent for the Sword Dao."

Zhao Xingtian was somewhat surprised.

Just then, Jiang Changge clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Alright, all eighty-two of you are here."

"Everyone present today is a pillar of Song Country’s Sword Dao."

"I know why all of you have come here, honoring me with your presence."

"Therefore, I will begin by speaking about the Sword Dao Law that I have comprehended!"

Right from the start, Jiang Changge delivered a massive shock to all the Sword Dao Masters who had come to attend the Sword Discussion Conference.

All the Sword Dao Masters were thinking the same thing. ’Will this young Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect really share the Sword Dao Law he comprehended for free?’

Jiang Changge paused for a moment, then began to speak slowly.

"The Sword Dao Law I have comprehended is called the Supreme Sword Dao."

"Comprehending Sword Dao Law is related to one’s personal Soul Will."

"After my master, Li Zongdao—once the foremost figure in Song Country’s Sword Dao—passed away, I felt an urgent desire to achieve something great in the Sword Dao, to become the supreme Sword God of Song Country."

"Coupled with the constant pressure from Daliang..."

"...my Supreme Sword Dao was finally born."

"In my opinion, if you wish to comprehend Sword Dao Law, you must understand your Soul Will and truly grasp what it is you desire. Only then will you have a sliver of a chance."

As soon as Jiang Changge finished speaking, Lu Changfeng couldn’t help but applaud him internally.

Jiang Changge had perfectly analyzed the core point of Martial Arts Law, exactly matching the analysis from the interface.

Martial Arts Law is different from Martial Arts True Intent. It uses Martial Arts as a foundation and Soul Will as a bridge to leverage the Laws of this world.

That is why the power of Martial Arts Law can be so terrifying.

What is Martial Arts Talent? It is a person’s innate ability to perceive the Laws.

Martial Arts Talent is the foundation for comprehending Martial Arts Law, but it is not necessarily the only way.

When Jiang Changge finished speaking, all the Sword Dao Masters present fell silent.

Pensive expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.

Martial Arts Law, a legendary ability that existed in the Ancient Era.

In the present day, there were very few records of it, even in ancient texts.

What little was recorded was mostly ambiguous, leaving readers in a fog, completely unable to understand the principles behind it.

Jiang Changge’s explanation, by contrast, could be called exceptionally direct.

He directly pinpointed the key to comprehending Law within a Martial Artist’s Soul Will.

What is the soul? No one has ever truly seen one, but everyone has a general impression of it: it is a person’s inner self.

Soul Will, then, is a person’s inner will, their true inner thoughts.

’Can one comprehend their own Sword Dao Law just by understanding their true thoughts? It surely isn’t that simple.’

’But the direction must be correct.’

Ren Xiong, the Sect Master of the Meteor Sword Sect, immediately rose and gave Jiang Changge a deep bow. "Sect Master Jiang, thank you for sharing. You are truly worthy of being the number one in the Song Territory today. I am willing to address you, Sect Master, as Sword God."

One by one, the Sword Dao Masters rose, bowed with clasped hands to Jiang Changge in thanks, and addressed him as "Sword God."

Lu Changfeng had no choice but to rise as well; sitting alone would be too conspicuous.

And so, Jiang Changge’s title of Sword God began to spread from that day forth.

It stood in correspondence with Pei Yuanshi’s title of Sword Saint.

After returning their salutes one by one, Jiang Changge continued to explain the details of his enlightenment.

The details he shared were extremely clear; he was truly holding nothing back.

"There are two reasons why I am contributing all these Martial Arts details to share with everyone."

"First, I hope that in the future, the Song Territory will have more than just me as an expert who has comprehended Martial Arts Law, allowing us to completely escape the threat of Daliang."

"Second, I hope that at today’s Sword Discussion Conference, everyone will be able to share their own Sword Dao knowledge wholeheartedly."

When Jiang Changge finished, he beckoned to Bai Yimeng, who was off to the side.

"This is my martial nephew, Bai Yimeng. His Root Bone and Talent are outstanding. Let him begin the first round of sword discussions and sparring. Does anyone have any objections?"

All the Sword Dao Masters naturally shook their heads, indicating they had no objections.

Bai Yimeng rose and walked straight toward Lu Changfeng. Only after arriving in front of him did he turn his gaze to Zhao Xingtian.

"Young Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, Zhao Tianxing, I wish to witness the Swordsmanship of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, as well as the Sword Species you carry."

Zhao Xingtian stood up. "Of course."

Lu Changfeng looked at the Root Bone and Talent of the two.

Zhao Xingtian had an Upper A Class Root Bone and the High-Grade Talent [Sword Vein].

Bai Yimeng possessed a Heroic Root Bone, the High-Grade Talent [Sword Immortal], and also carried the [Ancient Baize] bloodline.

’In a pure contest of Sword Dao Cultivation, it’s hard to say who would win or lose. But if Bai Yimeng activates his Demon Fiend Bloodline, it will be difficult for Zhao Xingtian.’

’However, Zhao Xingtian also has that mysterious Sword Species. I have never seen Zhao Xingtian use the much-famed Sword Species, but if he really used it, its effect should be extraordinary.’

As for their Realms,

although Zhao Xingtian’s Root Bone was inferior to Bai Yimeng’s, he was nearly forty years old, and his cultivation had reached the Bone Refining Realm Silver Bone stage.

Bai Yimeng, despite only being in his twenties, had an outstanding Root Bone and had also reached the Silver Bone Realm, just like Zhao Xingtian.

Lu Changfeng came to a conclusion. ’This will be a good fight!’

Bai Yimeng and Zhao Xingtian walked amicably to the martial arts arena below the pavilion.
