Immediately, she clenched her fist tightly again and said, "Although the four-level Cultivation Profound Land, which has not yet entered the Star Domain, is barren and rife with combat, if it weren't for the silent influence of the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace, orchestrating things behind the scenes, it wouldn't be so perilous!"

These evil demons are truly damned! If there is a chance in the future, Senior Sister will definitely stand up for you!"

The two remained silent on the grassy field.

The gentle wind blew, the grass swayed softly, and their black hair fluttered along with it.

Song Yan suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, for our lineage, which Sword Intent from the Sword Steles is best to cultivate?"

Ning Yunmiao replied, "Everyone has their own path. Different Talisman Characters reflect into Sword Cultivation Techniques, each having different effects, and there is no absolute best."

Song Yan said, "Then I shall comprehend the path of Senior Gu Mohan."

"Ah?"

Ning Yunmiao looked at him in astonishment.

Song Yanqi said, "Senior Sister, is it not feasible? Since I have a connection with Senior Gu, I thought of repaying his kindness by understanding his Sword Intent, thus... it might count as a form of spiritual continuation, a way to express my gratitude."

Upon hearing the word "gratitude," Ning Yunmiao's gaze towards Song Yan softened, faintly showing affection. In her heart, she thought, 'It's not impossible, it's just that Gu Mohan's path is actually not the Sword Dao, and he often acts alone. No one has ever heard of anyone inheriting his mantle. Now that it's sent to nourish in the Sword Tomb, even if it fosters a trace of Sword Intent compatible with Sword Dao, it's still extraordinarily difficult to comprehend his Sword Dao, nearly impossible.'

With this thought, she said, "Junior Brother, with your mindset, Senior Gu Mohan underground would be pleased. However, this Sword Tomb speaks of fate. You wish to comprehend his Sword Intent, yet it may not be suitable... very well, give it a try first. If there is no connection, do not be discouraged and explore more. This Sword Tomb is ancient beyond measure, and many powerful beings are buried here. There is bound to be a Sword Intent that fits you."

Having said that, she slightly raised her palm and drew out a Jade Scroll.

The Jade Scroll floated near Song Yan.

Ning Yunmiao said, "This is the 'World Ruins Sword Manual' Beginner's Guide. This Sword Manual is originally used for cultivation in the Profound Yellow Realm, and combines with various Talisman Characters to form a unique Sword Domain. It should not be taken out, but only the Beginner's Guide can aid you in comprehending. Frequent visits to the Sword Tomb are not advisable. As long as one grasps a trace of Sword Intent, we can proceed to the Pole Sword Platform."

Song Yan asked, "Going to the Pole Sword Platform, is to absorb the Fire of Taiyin and Taiyang?"

Ning Yunmiao replied, "In the middle, there is also the Six Paths Reincarnation Pillar, which requires measuring talent. Talent is essentially according to the comprehended Talisman Character, then distributed according to the talent. These matters... Junior Brother, do not ask for now. Let things take their natural course."

Song Yan felt a stir in his heart.

As they spent time together, he grasped more and more of this Senior Sister's temperament.

If his Senior Sister was only pretending, then he almost had to admit defeat.

But if it wasn't an act, then Senior Sister was truly the kind of presence he had always longed for in his sect.

Senior Sister is a very pure person.

He asks, and Senior Sister answers.

And this answer, combined with some of her previous behaviors, was already enough to make him, someone who had rolled along the edge of death for a long time, be alert and make some conjectures, while thinking: 'Where did things go wrong?'

Keywords in his mind flashed past one by one.

"Do not stray into evil paths," "Do not disappoint me," "As long as one comprehends a trace of Sword Intent, one can proceed to the Pole Sword Platform," "Do not ask for now, let things take their natural course"...

He closed his eyes sitting cross-legged, while quietly comprehending the 'World Ruins Sword Manual' Beginner's Guide, and continued to ponder.

'Six Paths Talent?

Six Paths being, Heavenly Dao, Asura Dao, Human Dao, Hell Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Beast Dao...

If talent is divided by this, then where does my 'Freedom' belong?

Seizing others' bodies and thoughts, it does not seem like a good path at all.

If it is not a good path, then is it the evil path that Senior Sister talked about?'

'Besides, something must have happened when Senior Sister went to the Pole Sword Platform, which led to her reaction being like this.

What event could it have been?

Senior Sister spoke much of Gu Mohan, yet never mentioned the dragon carcass.

Dragon carcass, dragon carcass...

Celestial Venerable is not Di Cunxin's reincarnated soul fragment, then did Di Cunxin have any reincarnated soul fragment?

The 'Dragon Burial Law' given to me by Di Cunxin was certainly evil, but judging by Senior Sister's reaction, this cultivation technique is undeniably powerful as well.

If that place were not a natural disaster, but rather a man-made calamity, Di Cunxin would be hard to absolve.'

'What does Di Cunxin intend to do?'

As he was thinking, Song Yan's mind suddenly recalled the words "Be careful of Di Cunxin" that the "Celestial Venerable" Yun Zhaoxuan mentioned before departing. Suddenly it dawned on him, his mouth split into a smile but... the expression froze slightly and then turned into a gentle patting of his palm. He smiled warmly and said, "Senior Gu Mohan's Sword Intent is truly wonderful, wonderful, wonderful."

"Wonderful?"

Ning Yunmiao looked at him strangely and then said, "Don't aim too high, think thoroughly!"

"Yes..."

A month later.

Song Yan suddenly said, "Senior Sister, I want to go somewhere else."

Ning Yunmiao nodded slightly and said, "Alright."

Song Yan asked again, "If I comprehend more characters, then what?"

Ning Yunmiao laughed, "You greedy little guy, do you think it's that easy? If you have the skills, go and understand then."

...

...

The next year, snow fell heavily.

But the Pole Sword Platform remained unchanged through the seasons.

The two Sword Platforms Taiyin and Taiyang are connected by a Chain Bridge, with the center Six Paths Reincarnation Pillar being the pillar for talent testing.

Di Cunxin had already arrived here with Reacher, and upon seeing Ning Yunmiao leading Song Yan, he gently saluted and said, "Have you been well, Junior Brother?"

Song Yan squinted at his expression and this overly familiar greeting.

But before he could speak, Ning Yunmiao beside him directly said, "Reacher fellow Daoist, is this little fellow now considered to be practicing with you? Doesn't he understand the rules?"
