If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 74 Perhaps You Are a Genius, The Sword Madman Wants to Pass on His Techniques
Is there a problem?

Gu An couldn't help but roll his eyes and said helplessly, "Next time, let me finish speaking before you make a decision. You just gave me hope and then nipped it in the bud."

Shen Zhen shook his head and said, "The problem does not come from the Sword Sect, but from the Dao Tian Sect. The Hate Heaven Divine Sword is not only a forbidden sword technique of the Sword Sect, but also a forbidden technique in the entire Great Yu Dynasty. Whenever the Hate Heaven Divine Sword is born, it will inevitably cause bloodshed. A hundred years ago, someone mastered the Hate Heaven Divine Sword and killed hundreds of thousands of people. In the end, he was seriously injured by an elder of my sect and then escaped from the Great Yu Dynasty."

"The Sword of Hatred is a sword technique that can break the will of heaven. The stronger the hatred, the stronger the sword intent. If a person with mediocre talent cultivates this sword technique, as long as the hatred in their heart is great enough, they can break the limitations of their spiritual root. However, as the realm increases and the hatred deepens, it is easy to go astray and become a demon who only knows how to kill. Therefore, the Sword Sect does not allow anyone to cultivate it."

Upon hearing this, Gu An couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, why did the Sword Sect create this sword technique?"

“That was created by a genius from the Sword Sect. Since that person came from the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect naturally has a responsibility to deal with this matter. They have destroyed all the sword manuals, but the Hateful Heaven Divine Sword keeps reappearing. Perhaps that person scattered the sword manual to various parts of the cultivation world before he died,” Shen Zhen replied.

Gu An frowned.

Will practicing this sword technique to the point of losing your mind?

If that were the case, Gu An wouldn't be able to let Su Han continue practicing. He couldn't possibly cause a bloodbath in the cultivation world just to favor his disciple.
Shen Zhen said earnestly, "All the sects in the Great Yu Dynasty are against the Hate Heaven Divine Sword. If you insist on protecting it, you will only cause endless trouble. There is another way, which is to make him abolish the Hate Heaven Divine Sword in front of the Sword Sect. To abolish the sword technique, it is not enough to just forget it. You have to abolish the meridians and spiritual roots, and make him a mortal."

Gu An nodded and said, "I understand."

He said no more, bowed to Shen Zhen, and then left.

Shen Zhen watched his retreating figure, shook her head slightly, and didn't try to persuade him further. She believed that what she had said was clear enough.

Noon the next day.

Gu An arrived at the outer city. Last night, he had invested a hundred years of his lifespan ten thousand miles away, which greatly increased his cultivation level.

The trouble Su Han caused made him increase his daily lifespan investment, striving to reach the ninth level of the Integration Realm as soon as possible.

On his way to Ye Lan's residence, Gu An was also thinking about Su Han.

Su Han is his disciple, so he will definitely help him, but he can't help him without reason. Moreover, judging from Shen Zhen's words, cultivating the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword is not a good thing for Su Han. He will go mad sooner or later. It is a painful path.

After much deliberation, Gu An decided to let Su Han make his own choice, promising to help him only once.

Meanwhile, he was thinking about another problem.

If ten thousand years of lifespan were invested in the Heaven-Hateing Divine Sword, could a method be developed to improve it and prevent the sword technique from going astray?

However, that's for the future. Even if he creates it now, the Sword Sect won't believe it. He can't very well demonstrate it himself, can he?

He wouldn't completely expose himself for Su Han's sake.

Although they were master and disciple, he did not owe Su Han anything.

Half an hour later, Gu An and Ye Lan walked out of the gate of the Law Enforcement Hall.

“Since he has made up his mind, Senior Brother, you should leave him alone. No one in this world should be responsible for another person’s life to the end. I will arrange for someone to send him away from Tai Xuan Sect quietly,” Ye Lan said.

Gu An nodded. He had negotiated with Su Han for a long time, but Su Han refused to give up the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword. Even though he promised not to let Su Han cripple his cultivation, Su Han still refused to give up.

Su Han said that the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword was passed down to him by his father, and it was the only connection between them. He also wanted to use the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword to avenge his father.

Having said all that, Gu An had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Gu An nodded to Ye Lan.

After exchanging a few words, Gu An left.

Gu An walked down the street, watching people come and go, feeling quite emotional.

Lu Jiujia went astray for his own path and is now a cripple. He can only stay in Xuan Valley and cultivate Dao Yan Gong with Wu Xin, hoping that he may rise again in the future.

Su Han was willing to make enemies of the cultivation world for revenge, without any regrets.

Gu An is very strong, but he still cannot decide the path of everyone around him, let alone change their thoughts.

The hustle and bustle of life is all due to grudges and affections.

As Gu An pondered, he seemed to have a sudden realization and entered a wondrous state.

Unbeknownst to him, he had walked onto the Heaven-Mending Platform.

He accidentally bumped into someone and was immediately awakened.

"Feel sorry."

Gu An quickly spoke, his heart filled with surprise.

This was the first time he had ever been in such a state of complete absorption; he had never encountered such a state when inheriting cultivation techniques and spells before.

Looking back, he couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that he himself had undergone some changes.

"Were you just meditating on the Dao?" the person who was bumped into by Gu An asked abruptly.

Gu An couldn't help but look at him. He was a man dressed in blue, with a weathered face, carrying a sword box on his back, from which three sword hilts protruded.

Gu An subconsciously used his lifespan to probe.

Han Ming (Fifth Level of Void Transcending Realm): 587/1902/2780

This person has also cultivated the technique of concealing one's aura!

The cultivation world is truly full of sixth-ranked cultivators.

Gu An asked in surprise, "What is enlightenment? I was just thinking about something."

He had a bad feeling; he knew he couldn't think while walking anymore, or he'd easily get into trouble.

Han Ming stared at him and said, "Enlightenment does indeed involve thinking about something. In the process of thinking, one resonates with the heavens and earth, thus entering a wondrous state. You don't need to apologize; I deliberately blocked your way. If you had gone any further, you would have bumped into those powerful cultivators." "Is enlightenment that powerful? But I haven't felt any change in my cultivation level," Gu An asked, half-truthfully, feigning ignorance. In reality, he truly didn't understand what enlightenment was.

Han Ming turned around and looked at the two characters "Righteous Path" in the distance, and said: "Enlightenment is very rare. It cannot be taught or predicted. It depends entirely on one's own comprehension and fortune. Some people break through realms by enlightenment, and some people create world-shaking skills by enlightenment. I have also been enlightened and comprehended my own sword technique. Although I do not know what you are comprehending, you will feel its benefits in the future."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. May I ask your name?" Gu An asked, raising his hand in a gesture of respect.

Han Ming replied, "My name is Han Ming, and I come from the Great Yu Dynasty. I have come here to seek guidance from the Sword Master Fudao."

Upon hearing this, Gu An couldn't help but ask, "How can I ask for your guidance, senior?"

Han Ming focused his energy and suddenly roared, "I am Han Ming, a sword cultivator from the Great Yu Dynasty. I have come here to learn from the Sword Venerable Fudao. We will have a sword duel outside the city in a month. If the Sword Venerable Fudao wins, I will inscribe my sword techniques on the city wall for the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect to practice. If the Sword Venerable Fudao loses or dares not come, then I will add two more words next to the words 'righteous path'!"

The voice was earth-shattering, resounding throughout the city and traveling extremely far. Even the disciples of the Third Medicine Valley heard it and looked up.

Countless gazes were cast from the Heaven-Mending Platform, all focused on Han Ming.

Gu An instinctively stepped back, not wanting anyone to think he was related to Han Ming.

However, Han Ming turned and walked towards Gu An.

Don't come over here!

Gu An was quite helpless.

"Young friend, would you mind inviting me to your residence so we can discuss enlightenment and improve our understanding? To be honest, I also wish to seek enlightenment again. Whether I succeed or not, I will pass on my swordsmanship to you," Han Ming asked with a kind smile.

In the distance, Zuo Lin, who was sitting cross-legged next to Zuo Yijian, saw Gu An and his eyes lit up.

With his cultivation level, he could naturally hear Han Ming's words.

really!

This kid is no ordinary person; my intuition was right!

Zuo Lin wanted to get up, but was pulled back by Zuo Yijian next to him.

"Don't go looking for trouble. That Han Ming is no ordinary person. He once killed a Nascent Soul cultivator with his sword, making him famous throughout the world and known as the Sword Madman." Zuo Yijian said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on Han Ming with a sharp look.

Zuo Lin was stunned upon hearing this.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu An could not bear it any longer and could only nod before quickly leaving, with Han Ming following closely behind.

The cultivators on the Heaven-Mending Platform began to discuss the name Han Ming. Many people had heard of Han Ming, and his deeds began to spread rapidly.

The elder from the Void Transcending Realm sitting on the stage merely glanced at Han Ming and did not stop him.

After thinking for a moment, Gu An decided to take Han Ming to the Third Medicine Valley.

Let's see what happens when Han Ming meets Elder Tian.

They walked in silence, Han Ming following behind Gu An, lost in thought.

After the two arrived at the Third Medicine Valley, Han Ming couldn't help but ask, "Does this entire area of ​​a hundred miles belong to you?"

“That’s right, so what?” Gu An asked in return.

Han Ming was silent for a moment, then said with emotion, "I originally wanted to take you as my disciple, but seeing that you have such a vast herb garden shows that the Tai Xuan Sect values ​​you highly, so I can't help but feel a little disappointed."

You just challenged me, and now you want to take me as your apprentice?

Gu An thought to himself, but smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I don't like fighting and killing, nor do I care about cultivation level, so I won't take you as my master."

The two landed, attracting the attention of many disciples.

Old Tian, ​​who was dozing under a tree in the distance, opened his eyes. When he saw Han Ming, his expression changed slightly. Clearly, he knew Han Ming.

Han Ming didn't recognize him.

The two went upstairs and sat down. Han Ming began to recount his process of enlightenment, and Gu An listened attentively.

Han Ming attained enlightenment at the age of two hundred. At that time, he was unable to break through to the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm and felt that he would stop here in this life. So, he sat in silence under the waterfall, feeling depressed. He sat there for seven days and seven nights before he finally attained enlightenment. One night later, his sword heart was enlightened and his sword intent underwent a transformation.

Listening to his words, Gu An made a connection to the concept of lifespan limits.

It is unknown whether enlightenment can change the limit of lifespan.

So far, Gu An has not seen anyone break the limit of lifespan, but his current lifespan is prone to change.

Cultivators at different realms will have their current lifespan increase as their realm improves, but there is no standard lifespan limit for each major realm, since lifespan is related to their condition, cultivation techniques, rare and precious materials, and so on.

Li Xuandao, for example, is clearly at the Nascent Soul stage, but some people at the Core Formation stage have lifespans similar to his.

For example, Ji Xiaoyu had a lifespan of over eight hundred years when she reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, comparable to Li Xuandao at the eighth level of the Divine Transformation Realm.

If a person suffers a serious injury, their lifespan will also be altered, as seen in the cases of Tian Lao and Lu Jiujia.

Humans are not data; they don't have unchanging values. All we can do is observe them more.

After Han Ming finished speaking, he asked Gu An to recount his experience of enlightenment. This time, Gu An did not hide anything and truthfully told him about his worries, only omitting the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword.

After he finished speaking, Han Ming pondered and said, "Worried about the safety of your disciple, and realizing that you cannot control the fate of others, you have come to this enlightenment. Perhaps you are a genius."

“I will be dueling with Sword Master Fudao in a month, and I might die. How about I pass on my sword skills to you this month?”
