Afterward, Chen Kaiyang imparted the method of cultivating the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword to Chu Nan, finally saying: "The peak of this Sword Peak is where the strong of our sect have observed the mountains and comprehended the Dao for generations. In ten days, you and Jiang Yixing, along with Zheng Yao, will depart for the state capital to participate in the Cyan Profound Grand Competition."
"Before that, you should cultivate and comprehend here. I will frequently come to check on your cultivation progress."
Chu Nan nodded slightly and then said, "I understand, Master."
Chen Kaiyang nodded deeply, then drifted away, leaving Chu Nan alone at the peak to practice the Sword Dao Martial Skill.
By this time, the sun had completely set, and the peak fell into darkness.
Chu Nan tapped the storage ring, and the half-finished Spirit Martial crafted by Kui Guang fell to the side, while Kui Guang also emerged from his brow.
Kui Guang surveyed the surroundings and then said, "The spiritual power here is clear; it is indeed a good place to cultivate."
Then Kui Guang spoke again, "But that Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword of Chen Kaiyang still seems full of flaws in my view."
"Next, I will personally instruct you, aiming to help you comprehend true sword intent as soon as possible!"
Chu Nan felt excitement in his heart; in terms of strength, Kui Guang was undoubtedly more powerful. With his guidance, progress was bound to be faster.
"Thank you in advance, Sword Venerable Master!"
Then the person and the residual soul started practicing the sword together at the peak of the Sword Peak.
From swinging actions to methods of circulating spiritual power, even the way to grip the sword, Kui Guang was meticulously detailed.
In the end, Kui Guang even personally engaged, transforming into a black residual shadow, using a wooden sword to battle with Chu Nan, deepening the understanding of the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword through combat.
As day followed night, Chu Nan barely rested, yet he didn't feel tired at all, instead growing more and more exhilarated.
Seven days passed in succession, and as a new dawn rose, Chu Nan couldn't help but gaze into the distance.
From here, he could overlook the entire Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, capturing everything in view, as a red arc slowly ascended in the distance, with a brilliant crimson ripple appearing at the edge of the horizon.
Under this radiant glow, the Willow Branch Sword actually turned red, dazzling like the morning sun.
Chu Nan seemed to have a feeling, and with a thought, he swung the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword again, the sharp sword qi slicing through the void, landing once more on the distant boulder.
With a crack, the boulder was severed in half, the cut smooth as a mirror!
Kui Guang, however, commented indifferently: "The location Chen Kaiyang chose for you inherently helps in comprehending sword skills. Coupled with my guidance, it would be strange if you didn't reach the perfect realm!"
"However, being able to cultivate a top-grade Yellow-rank martial skill to perfection in just seven days is indeed quite rare."
Despite saying this, a small tremor still lingered in Kui Guang's heart, as he thought to himself, "I didn't expect Chu Nan's talent in the Sword Dao to be so strong, that in the small Celestial Crossing Realm such a terrifying genius could emerge."
"With Chu Nan's comprehension, reaching perfection in a top-grade Yellow-rank sword skill in seven days would be extraordinary even in the Heavenly Balance Realm."
Talent is often crucial. Without enough talent, even with a famous teacher, it's useless, but for Chu Nan, his own talent combined with the guidance of a master paved the path of cutting through thorns!
However, Kui Guang would not lavishly praise Chu Nan, partly to prevent Chu Nan from becoming arrogant and complacent, and partly to maintain his own dignity.
Chu Nan felt quite pleased, achieving perfection in just seven days, and the understanding of true sword intent seemed within reach.
It's truly hard to imagine the power that true sword intent might wield!
Just then, light footsteps approached, and Kui Guang realized it was Chen Kaiyang coming, so he immediately retreated into Chu Nan's sea of consciousness.
Chu Nan also immediately closed his eyes to adjust his breathing and recover his strength.
Over the past seven days, Chen Kaiyang had been very concerned about Chu Nan's cultivation progress, so he planned to check in today.
If there was anything Chu Nan needed guidance on, he would be there to point it out.
"I wonder if Chu Nan has gotten the hang of the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword. With his talent, it should be no problem to get started, and achieving minor achievement would be even better."
Though thinking this, Chen Kaiyang did not have high hopes that Chu Nan could reach minor achievement.
He himself took a month to get started and a full half year to reach minor achievement in the past.
It's only been seven days; even with Chu Nan's strong talent in the Sword Dao, it's probably not enough to reach minor achievement, right?
Feeling a mix of anxiety and anticipation, Chen Kaiyang arrived at the peak, and seeing Chu Nan meditating, he furrowed his brows, thinking, "Resting already after just seven days?"
While it's true that a martial artist should balance work and rest, as a disciple in the Spirit Pill Realm, Chu Nan could go ten days without sleep or rest with no problem.
Yet here he was resting after just seven days, which left Chen Kaiyang somewhat dissatisfied, so he lightly coughed and said, "Chu Nan, to what extent have you cultivated the Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword?"
Chen Kaiyang was ready to educate Chu Nan, as a mentor should not only offer praise, but also admonishment for establishing authority.
Upon hearing Chen Kaiyang's question, Chu Nan immediately stood up and respectfully said, "This disciple, barely reached the perfect realm."
Chu Nan had nothing to hide from Chen Kaiyang, so he naturally spoke the truth.
But no sooner had Chu Nan finished speaking than Chen Kaiyang's eyes widened, indignantly saying, "You're exaggerating. I took five full years to reach perfection, and you did it in seven days? Have the years I spent cultivating all gone to waste on a dog's paws?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Nan's face turned to embarrassment, and to preserve Chen Kaiyang's dignity, he said, "I was wrong, Master."
Seeing Chu Nan admit his mistake, Chen Kaiyang's expression softened somewhat, then he reprimanded, "If your cultivation progress isn't what I hoped, I won't blame you, but you shouldn't lie. I despise liars the most."
"Tell me honestly, what stage have you truly reached?"
Upon hearing Chen Kaiyang's disdain for deceit, Chu Nan hesitated briefly, feeling uneasy about deceiving his master, so he said once again, "Disciple, has reached perfection."
"What!" Chen Kaiyang, for the first time, truly got angry with Chu Nan, chiding, "How dare you continue to fib?"
"Come, draw your sword. Let's have a few rounds. If your Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword hasn't reached perfection, I'll punish you severely!"
Chen Kaiyang wielded his longsword with a serious face, suppressing his cultivation to match Chu Nan at nine levels of the Spirit Pill Realm.
"Chu Nan, use your Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword to strike me. If you can defeat me, I'll concede you've reached perfection!"
Chen Kaiyang felt that after resolving the issue with Chu Han, Chu Nan's thoughts were somewhat inflated and thus exaggerating.
So, he intended to help Chu Nan, to straighten his mindset, not to aim too high, and not to make lying a habit.
Chu Nan realized that unless he demonstrated his ability today, Chen Kaiyang wouldn't believe him, so he bowed and said, "Then please forgive this disciple's offense."
His eyes flashed with sword aura as Chu Nan's spiritual power surged. He wasn't worried about injuring Chen Kaiyang, so he decided to go all out.
A strike was slashed out, with radiant sword qi tearing through the air, transforming into a long rainbow, striking Chen Kaiyang at an extremely fast speed.
Cyan Mountain Dawn Sword, perfect realm.
Initially, Chen Kaiyang's mindset was quite calm, not expecting this strike to reach perfection, causing him to become lax.
But once Chu Nan's sword was completely slashed out, his expression changed dramatically, eyes wide open, exclaiming, "Impossible!"
