Remould the Glory of Sword Art

Two years later, Da Sui Sword Palace once again opens its doors, inviting cultivators from all over the world.

In front of the Lotus Peak Dojo, a sea of people gathers, yet there is no clamor. Thousands of cultivators from across the land sit silently, listening to the reverberating sounds of the Great Dao above the altar.

Dressed in black, he stands under the waterfall of Lotus Peak.

Xie Xuanyi holds a public lecture on the Dao.

This lecture lasts for three days, with only one hour each day.

Before dawn at the time of the Mao hour, the Lotus Peak Dojo is already packed with people... Everyone wants to witness the demeanor of the Sword Immortal and listen to the ultimate explanation of the Sword Dao.

The list of the Ten Heroes of the World is unveiled.

Xie Xuanyi stands on the same level as the "Mountain Peak Yang God."

In the past, other holy lands also had special occasions where the Dao was publicly lectured... But most were lectures and teachings by Yin God Realm Venerables.

Figures of the Yang God Realm rarely do this.

It is not out of selfishness.

It's because after condensing the Dao, the Yang God Realm cultivators' understanding of the "Great Dao" is beyond what ordinary mortals can comprehend. Even if they wish to teach, the mundane cannot understand.

Upon reaching this realm.

The Lifebound Cave Heaven can be effortlessly externalized, with just a wave of the hand, mountains can be moved and seas overturned, transcending the realm of "mortals."

In a sense.

The Yang God has already taken the final step before "Ascending."

Various divine skills are effortlessly at their disposal.

The flesh body is invincible, crossing the void with ease.

These techniques, even if taught for a year... outsiders cannot learn.

But this time, Xie Xuanyi's "public lecture" is different.

He struck the bell with Sword Qi three times.

Giving lectures to cultivators of three realms separately.

Foundation Establishment, Qi Control, Grotto Heaven.

These three major realm cultivators are the future "backbone" disciples, the most numerous among all holy lands and clans.

In Great Chu, it's impossible for everyone to become a Sword Immortal.

Among the countless cultivators in the world, only a handful can reach the peak of the Dao.

Most people, remain at the foot of the mountain.

Those sincerely attending this lecture have been stuck in their current realm for a long time, hoping to take the next step and climb halfway up the mountain.

These people cannot be said to lack diligence.

However, talent, origin, fortune...

All kinds of limitations, resulting in their current predicament.

Xie Xuanyi's "lecture" is the greatest "opportunity" in this lifetime for the vast majority of them.

Though the three-day lecture is just an hour each day, after the sound of the Sword Qi Bell ends, no one leaves the Lotus Dojo. Almost all those listening are immersed in the evolved intent of the Dao, with many breaking through long-standing "Foundation Establishment bottlenecks," becoming Qi Control cultivators.

Very few broke through from Qi Control to Grotto Heaven.

As for breaking through from Grotto Heaven to Yin God... there was only one, a mountain wanderer from the West Territory of Great Chu who had participated in the Battle of Poison, stuck in this realm for a full sixty years. Today, sitting before the Lotus Dojo, quietly listening for three days, he finally broke through, immediately shedding tears of joy.

Many holy land cultivators attending the lecture offered goodwill to this newly ascended Venerable who broke through in the moment.

But this mountain wanderer refused them all.

He earnestly requested Xie Xuanyi to allow him to stay at True Hidden Peak, no longer wishing to wander, willing to become an Inner Sect Envoy at Da Sui Sword Palace.

A Yin God Realm Venerable, revered as a distinguished guest wherever they go.

Unsurprisingly, Xie Xuanyi did not refuse.

After the three-day lecture.

None left the dojo... Listening is easy, understanding is hard.

Si Qi led the disciples of True Hidden Peak to form an array before Lotus Peak, allowing enlightenment seekers to immerse in the comprehension of Daoist intent.

Xie Xuanyi did not leave either.

He sat at the center of the Lotus Peak Dojo, quietly waiting.

Though the lecture had concluded.

Yet this session still had a final segment—

According to custom, whether a disciple of the Holy Mountain or a mountain wanderer... before leaving, everyone had the opportunity to ascend to the platform to pose questions.

Xie Xuanyi would personally resolve their confusions.

...

...

The first to ascend was a young member of the Jiang Family from Qing State.

This young member had good fortune, being among the few who ascended to Grotto Heaven during the lecture. After the comprehension ended, he was also chosen by True Hidden Peak... Nervously and timidly, he posed his question, to which Xie Xuanyi gently provided guidance, the process taking no more than half a cup of tea.

Next was the second to ascend, a middle-aged loose cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Xie Xuanyi did not show any neglect due to his identity or age.

After answering his queries and resolving doubts.

The middle-aged loose cultivator bowed deeply.

After an hour... Xie Xuanyi finally awaited those he wished to see.

This time, it was no longer just a single person ascending.

A total of seven people.

The leader was not young, with graying temples.

Behind were six followers, all appearing to have cultivated for at least sixty years.

Among these seven, four were Perfect Grotto Heaven, and the remaining three were Yin God Realm.

The leader had even reached the seventeenth stage of Yin God.

"I have seen you before."

Xie Xuanyi looked at the elderly man with white-templed hair, smiled, and said, "You are from the Li Kingdom."

This session at Da Sui Sword Palace is open to all.

The people of the Li Kingdom... are no exception.

Chen Jingxuan had long stationed Black Scale Guards at the border for monitoring.

Every Li Kingdom cultivator who attended the lecture was registered in the Book Tower.

Those worth noting were compiled by Chen Jingxuan and a copy specifically sent to Lotus Peak.

This matter was handled very thoroughly, very cautiously, very much in Chen Jingxuan's style.

However...

As for the dossiers sent by the Book Tower, Xie Xuanyi hadn't read a single word.

He couldn't be bothered, nor did he consider it worth looking at.

"Master Xie's memory is remarkable."

The elderly man with white-templed hair also sat down and said with a smile, "Fifteen years ago, we met... Back then, Master Xie was traveling through the Li Kingdom, passing by 'Chao Yin Pavilion,' and had a sparring match with one of my disciples there. I didn't expect that, after so many years, we would meet again."
