The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"I will not die easily until the world is at peace."

"I still need to contribute to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the well-being of the people. Otherwise, all my years of cultivation would have been in vain."

Liu Feibai smiled and looked at Chu Xiu with a kind expression.

"With Senior Liu's words, Chu Xiu can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu smiled and said...

Although he knew very well that Liu Feibai's cultivation level had reached the peak of the first level of the Profound Immortal Realm, it was impossible for him to die easily.

Moreover, Liu Feibai has also cultivated the incredibly powerful Wuxiang Sword Scripture, making him one of the two greatest experts in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. With such strength, he would definitely rank among the top ten in the entire world.

Chu Xiu dared not say he was in the top three.

Because he didn't know how many hidden sects or masters were hidden within the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, it is not difficult for Liu Feibai to make it into the top ten.

"You have grasped the true meaning of my Formless Sword Scripture and can now cultivate it to the entry level."

"As for how far you can go, that depends on yourself."

"However, my Formless Sword Scripture is actually divided into five realms, and I will tell you about them."

Liu Feibai smiled, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Chu Xiu.

"Please give me your guidance, Senior Liu."

Chu Xiu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Liu Feibai and said...

Although Liu Feibai did not say he would take him as a disciple, he imparted the true meaning of the Formless Sword Scripture and explained its five realms to him.

Furthermore, he will actually cultivate Liu Feibai's Formless Sword Scripture in the future.

It can be said that although the two are not officially master and disciple, they are in fact master and disciple.

This is not as simple as just obtaining Liu Feibai's Wuxiang Sword Manual.

Jiang Wan'er also looked at Liu Feibai with great curiosity.

After all, Liu Feibai was the only one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty who had mastered the Wuxiang Sword Scripture.

"The first realm is the formless form."

"When you reach this level, the sword has no fixed form."

"The sword's aura is not sharp; a light sweep with a bamboo broom is like sweeping away dust; fallen leaves and flying flowers can all be used as swords."

"To sum it up in one sentence, it is like trying to find a sword in a mustard seed, or in Mount Sumeru. To grasp at the image to find the sword is like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant."

Liu Feibai said calmly.

"The sword is in a mustard seed, yet it is also in Mount Sumeru. To seek the sword by clinging to its form is like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant."

Chu Xiu, reflecting on what he had just seen of Liu Feibai sweeping the floor, seemed to be deep in thought.

"The second realm is the state of having no moves."

"There are no fixed rules for moves."

"Abandon the shackles of sword manuals, and let your mind guide the path of your sword."

"To put it simply, this level of understanding is when you see a mountain as not a mountain, and that's when you see the true sword."

Liu Feibai said calmly.

"Only when the mountain no longer appears as a mountain can one see the true sword?"

Chu Xiu frowned and began to think seriously.

If he hadn't also possessed extraordinary skill in swordsmanship, he wouldn't have been able to understand the meaning of this sentence.

In reality, even if he had understood this sentence, it wouldn't mean that his Formless Sword Scripture would directly reach the second level.

Reaching even the first level is no easy feat.

Understanding and reaching that level are two completely different things.

"The third realm is the state of no-self."

"Once you reach this point, you can be one with your sword."

"Shedding the physical body and skin, merging into the laws of heaven and earth, when the sword is drawn, there is no killing intent, no sword energy, no cause and effect."

"He who wields the sword dies, he who forgets the sword lives; only by being without self and without sword can one attain the state of no form."

Liu Feibai's expression turned serious.

"The form of selflessness? The silence of man and sword?"

"He who wields the sword dies, he who forgets the sword lives; only by being without self and without sword can one attain the state of no form."

Chu Xiu's heart stirred, and he glanced at Liu Feibai. Wasn't he currently in a state similar to the state of selflessness?

In other words, although Liu Feibai appears physically weak and extremely old, in reality, his physical body is not as weak as one might imagine, nor is he as old as one might imagine.

This is merely his appearance of selflessness.

"The fourth realm is what I call the Boundless Realm."

"Sword energy weaves between reality and illusion, severing both flesh and soul, splitting the mortal world and tearing the void."

"Upon reaching this level, one can rip through time and space like silk wherever the Formless Sword passes."

Liu Feibai said with a solemn expression.

"Where the Formless Sword passes, time and space are torn like silk?"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. Having reached this level, he was practically no different from a true immortal, wasn't he?

Is this something that the current Xuanxian realm can achieve?

He was a little curious whether Liu Feibai had reached this level.

"The fifth realm, I call the state of no birth and no death!"

"The sword intent will live on forever. The body may decay, but the way of the sword will never perish. Grass, trees, sand and stones all carry on its will."

Liu Feibai said with a solemn expression.

Regarding this realm, Liu Feibai did not provide further explanation as he did with the previous four realms.

Or, to explain it in simple and clear terms.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Liu."

Chu Xiu bowed solemnly to Liu Feibai to express his gratitude for his instruction.

"My lord, there's no need for such formalities."

"I only hope that one day, Lord Marquis, you will be able to reach the fourth level of the Formless Sword Manual, or even the fifth level."

"If Your Excellency can do this, it will be enough to repay the old man's kindness in teaching you."

Liu Feibai waved his sleeve and said nonchalantly.

"If Chu Xiu ever reaches the fifth level of the Formless Sword Scripture, he will definitely come and inform Senior Liu."

Chu Xiu said with a serious expression.

He had already understood Liu Feibai's meaning. Even he himself had not yet reached the fourth level of the Formless Sword Scripture, let alone the fifth level.

The fourth and fifth realms were actually just deductions made by Liu Feibai.

"Very well, I've been waiting for this day."

Liu Feibai said with a smile, and then he picked up the broom and left.

"My lord, has Pavilion Master Liu reached the fifth level of the Formless Sword Manual?"

After watching Liu Feibai leave, Jiang Wan'er, who had been filled with curiosity, couldn't help but ask Chu Xiu a question.

She didn't follow Chu Xiu's lead in calling him Senior Liu, but instead continued to address him as Pavilion Master Liu.

Because she is different from Chu Xiu.

Having received Liu Feibai's true teachings, Chu Xiu can actually be considered Liu Feibai's successor.

Moreover, he is a true successor, even more authentic than Xuanyuan Tai'a.

After all, Xuanyuan Tai'a did not receive Liu Feibai's true teachings and was unable to cultivate the Wuxiang Sword Scripture.

"Senior Liu should be at the third level of the Formless Sword Scripture, but he's close to the fourth level."

“Even if I reach the fourth level, Senior Liu doesn’t need to see the future of the Formless Sword Scripture in me.”

Chu Xiu looked in the direction Liu Feibai had left, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Jiang Wan'er.

"I see."

A look of understanding appeared on Jiang Wan'er's face. No wonder Liu Feibai was so happy about Chu Xiu's words, and even happier to have his own successor.

"Suddenly, a gentle breeze transformed into sword energy, directly severing the will of the twenty youths."

"The peach blossoms have all fallen, the bamboo grove is far away, let us raise a golden goblet to the bright moon."

"Do not laugh at this old man's madness, for I hold a frost-covered sword and listen to the dragon's roar."

"Sweep away all the unresolved matters of my life, wash away all grudges and hatred, and let it all fade away like a dream."

Chu Xiu said softly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan'er paused, then looked at Chu Xiu. She suddenly understood why Chu Xiu was able to comprehend the true meaning of the Wuxiang Sword Scripture from Liu Feibai sweeping the floor.

Perhaps he is the one who understands Liu Feibai the most.

That's why he was able to become the destined person that Liu Feibai had been waiting for!

"Lord Jiang, let's go."

Chu Xiu looked at Jiang Wan'er staring blankly at him and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, I'll take you to get the Wuxiang Sword Manual now."

Jiang Wan'er came to her senses and said with a blush on her pretty face.

After saying that, she left quickly.
