Then tell me.....what do you think a sword is? And what is the Dao of the sword?"
Zhu Chen answered without hesitation,
"A sword is a weapon meant for killing. The Dao of the sword is naturally the Dao of killing."
Chen Xin was momentarily stunned.
But he did not refute it.
Because… it made sense.
Why were swords forged in the first place?
Wasn't it precisely to kill?
"Follow me," Chen Xin finally said.
Realizing that Zhu Chen was not here to cause trouble, he turned decisively and flew back toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Zhu Chen followed without hesitation.
The two entered a side hall.
The doors closed tightly behind them.
Because of the commotion Zhu Chen had caused earlier, Ning Rongrong and many disciples rushed over to investigate.
However, before they could approach the side hall, they were stopped by Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo.
Both Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong understood very well—
anyone whom Chen Xin personally went out to receive must possess extraordinary cultivation.
If they rashly disturbed such a person, it could bring unnecessary trouble to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Since Chen Xin was handling it himself, they would wait outside and keep watch.
Zhu Chen did not stay long at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Two hours later, he bid farewell to Chen Xin, then transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Just as Qian Renxue had said, Chen Xin's swordsmanship was indeed extremely profound. Unfortunately, he had been born in the wrong era.
If Chen Xin had been born in a higher-level plane and cultivated the Dao through the sword, his achievements would likely have reached an even more astonishing height.
Through Chen Xin, Zhu Chen finally gained a clear understanding of sword heart, and truly comprehended what sword intent, sword Dao, and sword momentum meant.
Simply put—
Sword intent is the sword heart. It is the most fundamental concept of the sword Dao.
As long as a swordsman "understands the principles of the sword and establishes the sword heart," they can glimpse sword intent.
Once sword intent is infused into a strike, the sword's power can increase severalfold!
As for the sword Dao, it already touches a higher realm—
Rules.
The rules of the sword!
Chen Xin had already reached this level.
It was just that he had not yet stepped onto its true peak.
In theory, sword cultivators at this stage no longer need to rely on the sword in their hands to make attacks.
Because in their eyes, everything can be a sword.
A falling raindrop.
A passing breeze.
All of it can become a peerless, invincible sword.
Chen Xin's strongest move—
"My body is the sword; man and sword are one"—
was precisely the embodiment of this path!
As for sword momentum, as the name suggests, it is the manifestation of momentum itself, without fixed form or classification.
A sword has strength and weakness—everything depends on the swordsman's momentum at the moment of attack.
If your sword momentum is like a rainbow piercing the heavens, then a single strike can shatter stars and annihilate all phenomena!
Zhu Chen felt that this concept of sword momentum was very similar to the Invincible Dao he cultivated.
As long as one advances without hesitation—
one is invincible.
…
After Zhu Chen left, Chen Xin soon stepped out of the room.
Ning Rongrong, who had been waiting outside, immediately ran over excitedly.
"Grandpa Sword! Who was that person just now? He actually made you go out to greet him personally—his ego is way too big!"
Her tone was full of shock and confusion.
She clearly remembered that her Grandpa Sword had always been extremely proud, never bowing to anyone no matter how strong they were.
Yet today, that person had only called out once, and her grandfather had immediately gone out to meet him.
"Uncle Jian, do you know that young man?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi also walked over.
Gu Rong stood behind them without speaking, but his expression was unusually grave.
Ning Fengzhi and the others were not strong enough to clearly sense the oppressive aura that young man had emitted.
But Gu Rong had felt it deeply.
That young man's aura far surpassed both his and Chen Xin's—
it even exceeded that of a level-99 peerless Douluo.
