Chapter 296: 154 Mo Blade Sect

Mo Blade Sect, in the Zhou Yi Dynasty, was a massive gate and always bustling with activity. Just after dawn broke, a chorus of synchronized shouts could be heard emanating from the spacious courtyard’s drill ground, where a square formation of over three hundred disciples, bare-chested and wielding Mo sabers, vigorously executed their chops.

Each slash was imbued with profound mystery, the faint Heavenly Mandate Vitality swirling in the air.

Chen Yuan was a disciple of Mo Hong and although he was from the third generation of the Mo Blade Sect, his talent was exceptional. His cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of Galaxy 1-dan, even surpassing Mo Qing from earlier days.

He was leading all the disciples in their morning practice.

“I will perform this move, ‘Heavenly White Crane,’ only once. How much you can learn depends on your talent and comprehension…”

With effort, he clasped a Mo saber in his right hand. Chen Yuan gave it a slight shake, and the long saber hummed lightly as a formidable strength twirled around the blade.

Whoosh!

The Mo saber traced an arc through the air and struck a nearby rock, sparking and leaving a deep mark.

“The ‘Heavenly White Crane’ is among the most powerful battle techniques of the Mo Blade Martial Skill. By using the full Strength of the body for a courageous chop, successful practice will leave a saber imprint on this Risegreen Rock! Practice well and strive to achieve this soon…”

Stowing his saber, Chen Yuan exhaled and spoke with a smile.

“Yes!”

The crowd looked at the saber mark on the Risegreen Rock, each filled with excitement.

This type of Risegreen Rock was extremely hard, no less resilient than steel. To leave such a mark with a casual chop—if it were to strike a person, wouldn’t it kill them instantly? It’s no wonder the Mo saber is so terrifyingly powerful!

Instantly, a sense of belonging and pride for the Mo Blade Sect welled up in them.

Just as everyone was eager to start practicing, a faint voice rang out, “Not bad, but there are many flaws in the technique…”

Chen Yuan startled, about to scold when he saw a tall figure entering through the gate. His expression changed, and he hurriedly went to greet him, “Grandteacher!”

It wasn’t just anyone; it was the founder of the Mo sabers, Elder Bai Ye!

At that moment, Elder Bai Ye, dressed in a slate-gray robe, approached with an indifferent face. Although he held no weapon, the Sword Intent emanating from him trembled one’s soul.

“Grandteacher, why are you here?”

Chen Yuan was curious as he approached.

Hadn’t the grandteacher and his teacher gone to a meeting at Heaven Mandate Hall? Why would he have the time to visit the Mo Blade Sect now?

“The Heaven Mandate Domain is about to open, and our Mo Blade Sect will definitely want a share. I came to see for myself, to offer some personal guidance and strive to have you all increase your cultivation swiftly so you don’t fall behind…”

As Elder Bai Ye stood before them, his voice was cool.

“Yes…”

Upon hearing this, not only Chen Yuan, but everyone’s eyes lit up with excitement.

Although the Mo Blade Sect was created by him, he had not given many lessons here previously. With his direct guidance, everyone would surely progress quickly.

“The ‘Heavenly White Crane’ that Chen Yuan just performed had no issues with the technique, but the conception had many mistakes. The technique should not be used old. Especially with the Mo saber, its Strength must flow continuously to unleash greater power… Now, I will perform it for you once, so watch closely!”

Elder Bai Ye reached out mid-air, and the Mo saber in Chen Yuan’s hand immediately flew through the air, landing in his palm. In the next moment, the founder of the Mo Blade Sect turned gracefully and slashed through the air.

His movement was very similar to Chen Yuan’s but executed more elegantly and effortlessly.

Bam!

The Mo saber landed on the Risegreen Rock, not sparking nor leaving a mark, but when he lifted the saber, the Risegreen Rock exploded into powder with a loud “bam.”

“This…”

Everyone fell silent, their eyes wide with excitement.

This was the power aided by the momentum of the saber, instantly infused into the Risegreen Rock, causing the rock to give way…

“Alright, I’m going to teach you the method of operating divine energy now…”

Having demonstrated the battle techniques, Elder Bai Ye did not hold back at all, explaining the operation of divine energy in detail.

Chen Yuan listened intently, then a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes, “Grandteacher, why does it feel like what the teacher explained is missing something compared to your explanation?”

“Elder Mo is my disciple, and he hasn’t learned everything. What I explained is the most correct. Practice diligently and don’t be lazy!” Elder Bai Ye said indifferently.

“Yes!”

Chen Yuan quickly nodded.

“Hmm, start operating the zhenqi as I have described…” Elder Bai Ye was not stingy, his voice carrying a hint of ethereal quality. In a flash, streams of Heavenly Mandate Vitality mixed with Origin qi rushed from the emptiness, entering everyone’s bodies.

Chen Yuan and everyone present suddenly felt that even without practicing on their own, the zhenqi in their bodies could move throughout their bodies automatically following the elder’s words, slowly enhancing their cultivation and deepening their understanding of the saber art.

“As expected of the founder…”

“This is indeed the correct method of practicing the Mo Blade, what we did before was all wrong…”

“I feel like with this method of practice, I could break through in just two days!”

Feeling the speed of power accumulation inside their bodies getting faster, everyone clenched their fists in excitement.

The saber art and cultivation method taught by this grandteacher were far more powerful than what they had learned before, most importantly, there seemed to be a magical ability in his voice that allowed for fast understanding and rapid breakthroughs.

Soon, Master Mo’s voice ceased, and Chen Yuan could not hold back any longer; he stepped forward, “Grandteacher, I’d like to give it a try…”

After speaking, he took the Mo Dao and swung it, creating a gust.

The glint of the saber, along with the power, pulsated ceaselessly; a stream of pure Heavenly Mandate Vitality moved throughout his body, and the next moment, the saber’s edge landed on another piece of Risegreen Rock.

Crack!

The rock cracked, spreading over three inches.

Just now, only a saber mark had been made, but now, a crack over three inches had been created… The grandteacher had given guidance for just a quarter of an hour, yet he had boosted the power so drastically…

That’s incredible!

He sheathed the Mo Dao, exhaled, and looked excitedly at the elderly man before him, his admiration evident.

“Not bad, you have already grasped quite a bit. As long as you strictly follow the practice I have taught, your mastery of the Mo Dao will surely leap forward, even further…”

Elder Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction.

“Thank you, Grandteacher, for imparting the Ultimate Skill…”

Chen Yuan kneeled on the ground.

“No need to be polite, everyone just continue to practice well. From now on, follow the practice I transmitted today; no matter what anyone else says, do not change it…” Elder Bai Ye waved his hand.

“Yes!” Everyone nodded uniformly.

Chen Yuan’s progress was clear for all to see, the teachings from the grandteacher himself were definitely the most correct and they were resolute in not changing it!

“I will now impart to you a set of even more advanced inner breathing methods, also modify what you have practiced before…”

With a satisfied nod, Elder Bai Ye’s cold voice continued to resonate.
