I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The Four Tribulations Swords are: Opening Tribulations, Raising Tribulations, Responding to Tribulations, and Breaking Tribulations.

"This is something the thirteenth dean comprehended during the Heavenly Tribulation. The difficulty lies in the fact that the insights must be gained during the tribulation itself."

Think about it, every time a cultivator undergoes a tribulation, it is extremely dangerous. How can they have the spare energy to comprehend the Dao of the Sword?

You've only just experienced your first tribulation; mastering the sword technique to open it is all you need.

Su Lianyun knew that Shen Ming had mastered the Eternal God and the Heavenly Primordial God in just a few days, but the Four Tribulations Sword was different.

It's not just about talent, but also about the environment; every sword strike must undergo a tribulation.

"Come, junior brother, let me see your swordsmanship."

The level of swordsmanship also determines the upper limit of the Four Calamities Sword's power.

This is why martial artists need to build a solid foundation, as it determines every aspect of their future.

"Ok."

Shen Mingming's Heart Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This natal flying sword was forged from a sword pellet and, according to the classification of Dao weapons, belongs to the intermediate level.

It is a top-tier treasure on the Xuanhuang Continent and is also a valuable asset on the battlefields beyond the realm.

Su Lianyun concentrated intently, and as a top-level sword cultivator, he keenly noticed the change in Shen Ming's demeanor when he held the sword.

The sword aura rose out of thin air. Shen Ming used the Limitless Sword Dao without employing any sword techniques, but instead demonstrated the profound meaning of the sword Dao with ordinary sword styles.

Gradually, Su Lianyun frowned, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

He originally intended to offer some guidance, or even reshape his junior brother's swordsmanship if it was subpar.

But now, he finds himself unable to understand it.

Is this what Kendo is like?

He was somewhat dazed. Every sword strike of his junior brother revealed perfection, yet also an unrealistic yearning. It was perfectly natural, recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and extremely mysterious.

"Junior brother, what's this swordsmanship of yours? Who taught you?"

As soon as Shen Ming sheathed his sword, Su Lianyun couldn't wait to speak.

"The Wuji Sword Path is the sword technique that comes with the Wuji Divine Skill. It was taught to me by the elder who passed on the skill," Shen Ming said truthfully.

Su Lianyun then asked who the Transmission Elder was, and learned that he was an elder of the Xuantian Sect. He thought to himself that this was definitely a master!

“Top-tier sword techniques are all unique and not limited by cultivation methods. The elder said that they are compatible with cultivation methods because he didn’t want to pass on the sword techniques to outsiders,” Su Lianyun thought to herself.

"Junior brother, unleash your strongest sword technique and attack me," Su Lianyun said.

"it is good!"

Shen Mingzheng had the same idea, but felt it would be offensive to bring it up on his own initiative.

Having witnessed the differences between each level of the Sovereign Realm, he was no longer worried about hurting his senior brother.

"Sword Eleven: Nirvana!"

This was the first time Shen Ming had used this sword after breaking through to the Dominator Realm. The change brought about by his newfound realm was immense. As he drew the sword, his eyes shone with lightning-like brilliance, displaying unparalleled divine power.

This sword strike is already incredibly close to the level of a supernatural power.

The sword's momentum erupted like a mountain torrent, a tidal wave crashing against the sky, endless and overwhelming, engulfing Su Lianyun's figure.

Moments later, thunder roared, as if a heavenly tribulation had descended, and the vast sword light cleaved through the Limitless Sword Force.

Su Lianyun reappeared. He didn't necessarily need to use sword techniques to break the move, but he would be flustered and lacked the demeanor of the senior brother.

Su Lianyun's expression was strange. In front of the Wuji Sword Dao, he felt like a blank sheet of paper.

“Very good. Your swordsmanship is up to par with the Four Tribulations Sword and the Heavenly Tribulation Sword. Go and practice.” he said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming was filled with excitement.

He rushed into the Great Luo Palace and began cultivating the Four Tribulations Sword.

After calming down, Su Lianyun felt an instinctive joy.

The Eternal Lineage shares the same interests, and while they impart all their knowledge, they are all driven by self-interest.

Now, Su Lianyun feels that even without these things, he would be happy to teach the Four Tribulations Sword.

"Senior Brother, don't you feel an indescribable sense of accomplishment? Junior Brother has taken what we taught him to the extreme."

Situ Qing, who had been observing, stepped forward and understood Su Lianyun's feelings, because she felt the same way.

Su Lianyun nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head: "The Four Tribulations Sword is still very difficult, I'm afraid it's impossible to understand Junior Sister's feelings."

"I thought all sword cultivators were like you, but it turns out Junior Brother isn't normal." Situ Qing rolled her eyes at him.

"That's different. Junior Brother's path is swordsmanship and martial arts..."

Su Lianyun realized as soon as she finished speaking that this was not an admission of her junior sister's words about the virtues of sword cultivators.

"Senior Brother, do you think Junior Brother is now good enough to be recognized by the various halls of the Academy?" Situ Qing asked.

“Of course, but that’s not enough to make them oppose the dean.”

"What else is missing?" Situ Qing asked.

"us."

Su Lianyun smiled enigmatically and said, "If our Eternal Lineage doesn't resist with all its might, how can their outer hall be expected to exert its full strength?"

“Of course we’ll do whatever it takes,” Situ Qing said, puzzled.

"Is it really about disregarding everything?" Su Lianyun asked with a bitter smile.

Situ Qing understood now and trembled.

In the eyes of the outer shrine, no matter what the Eternal lineage does, it is always driven by selfish motives; they want to escape the fate of dying of old age.

There is only one way to change this.

"Senior Brother, let me do it," Situ Qing said.

"Only I can do it," Su Lianyun said softly.

Situ Qing knew why: his senior brother held a very high position in the academy and had countless followers at his peak.

The Heavenly Palace Master, Nangong Tian, ​​is not an isolated case.

“It’s not worth it.”

Situ Qing couldn't accept it, and even thought that at worst they could give up the eternal Dharma body and just stay together until old age, which would be fine.

"Look, if you think like this, how can the outer disciples be willing?"

The more Situ Qing acted this way, the more determined Su Lianyun became.

He looked at the ancient and magnificent Eternal Palace, straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back, and said, "A hundred years from now, the Eternal Dharma Body reflecting the heavens doesn't necessarily have to be me. As long as the Eternal lineage rises, that's enough."

Normally, Situ Qing would say, "Are you pretending again?"

Now, it's as if I can see my senior brother in his youth, dominating all the heroes in the hunting battle.

Situ Qing's eyes reddened, and she leaned forward.

Su Lianyun withdrew her gaze and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Ma Quandao, who had been secretly observing, rushed out and shouted, "You don't treat me like a human being, do you?"

Situ Qing turned away, and Su Lianyun sighed.

At this moment, Shen Ming was seen walking out of the Daluo Palace.

Su Lianyun smiled knowingly. It couldn't have been completed in less than a quarter of an hour; he must have encountered some parts he didn't understand.

"Junior brother, is there something you don't understand?" Su Lianyun's lips curled up, almost unable to contain his smile.

See? You see the power of swordsmanship, which is different from your supernatural abilities.

"Senior Brother, I've mastered the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Technique!" Shen Ming exclaimed.

"..."

Su Lianyun, Situ Qing, and Ma Quandao looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's not the Four Tribulations Sword, it's the Heavenly Tribulation Sword!

Su Lianyun paused, remembering that he hadn't taught the Heavenly Tribulation Sword technique yet.

"how did you do that?"

"Because I possess an innate sacred body and the Supreme Dao Embryo..."

"Stop."

Su Lianyun didn't want to hear it.

Ma Quandao burst into laughter, patted Shen Ming on the shoulder, and shouted, "Junior Brother, you did a great job!"
