Chapter 484: Chapter 339: Yin Yang Five Elements and Seven Stars Sword Arm_1

“Teacher Zuo, how should I practice the Sword Slaying Array?”

Chen Mobai treats it as if nothing had happened, still humbly seeking guidance.

“Ahem, since you have mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting, you can also practice one or two techniques from the Sword Destruction Collection. It appears that you have chosen the Five Elements Sword Sha. This is simple, it’s one of the two Sword Sha Large Formations we have experimented with and completed.”

Due to the limited resources of the Immortal Sect, Zuo Gong and the Sword Cultivators from the Sword Dao Association had only managed to complete the practice of two—Two Rites Sword Devil and Five Elements Sword Sha.

“Watch carefully as I demonstrate.”

As he spoke, Zuo Gong opened the palm of his right hand towards Chen Mobai. A silver Sword Seal in the shape of a droplet appeared, then under his control, using his Divine Sense, it transformed into a bright Sword Sha that flowed like mercury.

As soon as this Sword Sha appeared, Chen Mobai felt the air around him become stagnant in an instant, making it difficult for him to breathe and move.

Luckily, Zuo Gong was only giving a demonstration.

After the Mercury Sword Killing, Zuo Gong rolled up his right sleeve to reveal a withered yellow leaf Sword Seal glowing at his wrist.

This is the Wood Attribute Withered Glory Sword Killing, which can render any living creature it comes into contact with into desolation.

After the Withered Glory, a Flame Sword Seal appeared on Zuo Gong’s forearm.

Then on his elbow, a Mountain Sword Seal.

Finally, the Geng Metal Sword Demon, which Zuo Gong himself cultivates, was transformed into a sword-shaped seal on his upper arm.

Chen Mobai’s Void Spirit Eye was working to its full capacity as he looked at Zuo Gong’s right arm. He saw a stream of spiritual power, stronger and purer than all of his own combined Longevity Spiritual Power, flowing from the latter’s Dantian Qi Sea. It ran like a thread along his meridian, linking the Five Elements Sword Sha in sequence, forming a perfect cycle of the Five Elements.”

“Since I cultivate the Geng Metal Sword Demon myself, if I want to unleash the power of the Five Elements Swords Slaughter Formation, I must start with Geng Metal, then proceed to evolve it following the sequence of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.”

“However, after one complete cycle of the five elements, you can adapt based on the spells and magic artifacts used by the opponent.”

“But having a fixed starting point could be a disadvantage in front of a powerful enemy. They could disrupt your Sword Slaughter Formation before it is fully deployed, eliminating all subsequent variations.”

“Sword Light Shapeshifting is beneficial in this aspect, as the starting point isn’t fixed, leaving no room for opponents to exploit.”

When Zuo Gong got to this point, he sounded somewhat sentimental. The new generation surpasses the old. This was the first time he felt the weight of the word “genius”.

Every student admitted to Dance Tool Dao Academy was exceptional among the myriad creatures of the Immortal Sect. They were the cream of the crop, hence Zuo Gong was not particularly impressed with the term ‘genius’.

Among all the students, only a select few could impress him.

Zhongli Tianyu indeed did a good job by establishing the foundation before entering the Academy, but it was merely due to inheriting the magic artifacts from his ancestors. If others were as fortunate, they might not lag behind.

Zhai Jianbai enlightened the Sword Dao and established the foundation upon hearing about it, becoming the first in the Sword Control Department in hundreds of years. But this only affirmed Zuo Gong’s belief that Zhai would be a worthy successor.

As for the Chen Mobai before him, Zuo Gong had originally thought it was just good luck.

Although he got to the realm of Sword Rainbow Fission during his Foundation Establishment, his understanding of the sword was not as good as Zhai Jianbai’s. Plus, being a disciple of Che Yucheng, after Zuo Gong taught Chen what he needed, he sent him off to graduate.

He hadn’t expected any further interaction with Chen, let alone such a pleasant surprise at their next meeting.

Among the geniuses who could outshine the others, Zuo Gong had seen many. But the one who astounded him the most was the Chen Mobai before his eyes.

If this man were to become his disciple, he would certainly surpass Zuo Gong and enhance the prestige of the Sword Control Department of the Dance Tool Dao Academy. He might even surpass the Pure Yang and Mountain and Sea Schools, becoming the top sword lineage in the Immortal Sect.

“Little Chen, have you ever considered taking on another teacher?”

On hearing Zuo Gong’s suddenly amiable tone, Chen Mobai was instantly alert.

“Teacher Zuo, I have only scratched the surface of the Puppet Dao and truly do not have the energy to learn other things.”

“Your talent is wasted on Puppet Dao; you should focus on Sword Dao. Join my Sword Control Department. Once I retire, I can ensure you take my place as the director. I can even permit you to study the Immortal Sect’s Sword Technique. I could also help you apply to the Daoist Academy for access to the Mo Bao Sword Scar, left behind by Old Ancestor Bai Guang.”

The terms laid out by Zuo Gong tempted Chen Mobai greatly. Both the Immortal Sect’s Sword Technique and the Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor’s Sword Scar could not be bought with money. These precious artifacts of the Earth Origin Star were supreme inheritances of the Sword Dao. Countless Sword Cultivators had coveted these two items from the Dance Tool Dao Academy. Now, as long as Chen Mobai agreed, he could essentially guarantee access to them.

But after careful consideration, Chen Mobai still shook his head in refusal.

“Teacher Zuo, I think your words earlier were correct. One should not be overly ambitious. I have only just mastered Sword Light Shapeshifting and my realm is still low. These two treasures, used on me, would not fully display their effects. Let’s forget about it.”

“What I said earlier was nonsense. Your talent in Sword Dao is the strongest I have ever seen. The Sword Control Department is most ideal for you. However, viewing the Immortal Sect’s Sword Technique and Mo Bao’s Sword Scar now indeed seems wasteful as they can only be used a limited number of times. Moreover, the Sword Intent they contain is too profound. It would be more suitable for you after Core Formation.”
