Resolve The Sword Technique

At the main peak hall of the Yuntian Sword Sect.

Su Zhan walked into the hall, bowing respectfully towards Qin Jincheng in front and directly asked, "Sect Master, do you have any empty jade slips?"

"Hmm?"

Qin Jincheng was about to inquire about the results of Su Zhan's seclusion, but before he could speak, he heard Su Zhan asking a completely unrelated question. He was momentarily confused and asked, "I still have plenty in my storage ring. Why do you ask?"

The other influential elders in the hall, who were discussing matters, also looked at Su Zhan with confusion on their faces.

Su Zhan didn't answer but said, "Among the twenty-seven ancestral sword techniques, excluding duplicates, there are a total of sixteen. Which ancestral sword techniques are still retained in this sect?"

"Sword techniques... Except for the Tianyun Sword Technique, the Mighty Sword Technique, and the Holy Nine Curves Sword Technique, the others have been lost!"

Qin Jincheng said with a touch of disappointment, "It's quite embarrassing to admit, but even though the Yuntian Sword Sect has been inherited for thousands of years, ancestral sword techniques have been lost due to various reasons. Ah, if not for that, our Yuntian Sword Sect would not be weaker than the royal family of the Xia Nation!"

"Don't worry."

Su Zhan smiled and said, "I will resolve it."

"What?!"

Qin Jincheng suddenly exclaimed, and his voice became louder.

Realizing he had lost his composure, he cleared his throat and restrained his excitement, gazing at Su Zhan, "Su Zhan, are you telling the truth?"

"That's right. Sect Master, give me thirteen empty jade slips."

"Good, if you can truly resolve the techniques, all the disciples and elders of our Yuntian Sword Sect will greatly benefit!"

Qin Jincheng took out thirteen empty jade slips, controlled them with his true qi, and hung them in front of Su Zhan.

The more advanced cultivation and martial arts techniques of the Yuntian Sword Sect would be written inside these empty jade slips. The engravings were simple; one only needed to stimulate the "runes" within them with true qi and input them with spiritual power to record the cultivation techniques and martial arts in one's mind.

And the next generation only needed to stimulate them with true qi to view the cultivation techniques and martial arts, which was very convenient and fast.

Su Zhan didn't waste any words. He directly took one of the jade slips, pressed it against his forehead, closed his eyes slightly, and let his spiritual power enter the jade slip.

"Can Su Zhan truly resolve the techniques?"

"Shh! Don't disturb him!"

As an elder was about to question with doubt, he was silenced by Qin Jincheng.

Everyone immediately closed their mouths and, like the other elders, looked at Su Zhan with a mix of doubt and anticipation.

One minute later, Su Zhan placed the jade slip down and set it aside. Then, he took another empty jade slip and began recording it.

Strangely, he was so fast?

It didn't seem like the true Ancestral Sword Technique. Perhaps, it was some kind of enlightening record?

The elders pondered for themselves, not feeling too disappointed.

They didn't have high expectations that Su Zhan could resolve the ancestral sword techniques. The anticipated outcome was already expected, so they naturally didn't feel disappointed.

Qin Jincheng's excited heart also calmed down.

After careful consideration, regardless of how talented Su Zhan was in sword arts, he was not a descendant of the ancestors. He only understood the sword's intent, so how could he acquire the sword techniques from previous generations?

I've been overthinking!

With this thought, Qin Jincheng's mind became peaceful as he waited for Su Zhan to finish carving and see what was inside the jade slips.

After a dozen minutes, Su Zhan completed his work and placed the thirteen empty jade slips in the middle of the hall.

"Sect Master, please verify them. If they are correct, I will leave."

"Very well."

Qin Jincheng used his true qi to take two jade slips from a distance, and a dense curtain of small characters appeared.

He stared closely at the curtain for a moment, and his previously calm heart suddenly became excited.

"Fufeng Sword Technique! This is a sword technique obtained by the 16th generation sect master from a ruin. The sect possesses a fragment of this sword technique, and this jade slip is indeed its complete version!

And this one, the Dragon Fire Sword Technique, is a special sword technique from the 22nd generation sect master. Although I have never seen the original technique, even if this technique is not exactly the same as the Dragon Fire Sword Technique, its level and complexity are definitely not inferior to the original Dragon Fire Sword Technique!"

Qin Jincheng's hand trembled as he held the jade slip. He took a deep breath and looked at Su Zhan. Due to his excitement, his voice trembled as he asked, "Su, Su Zhan, how did you obtain this sword technique?"

Su Zhan smiled and said, "I obtained the sword intent and insights about the sword possessed by the ancestors of the sect and deduced their sword techniques based on that."

"You deduced their sword techniques just based on the sword intent and their understanding of the sword path?"

Qin Jincheng felt that his understanding had been completely shattered and asked incredulously.

"Yes! Is there a problem with that?" Su Zhan looked at Qin Jincheng with a hint of surprise.

In fact, when the Sword Dao Halo was activated in the Sword Tomb Mountain, he obtained the ancestral sword techniques after comprehending their sword intent. However, at that time, he was busy assimilating the sword intent and the ancestors' understanding of the sword path into his own sword cultivation to enhance his Starfire Starlight Sword Technique.

He only had time to come here today.

After hearing Su Zhan's words, Qin Jincheng opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

To deduce complete sword techniques just based on the sword intent and understanding of the sword path... How could there be a problem with that?

This was something even an ordinary person couldn't say!

How should he respond???

"It's fine, I will go now. If there are any issues with the sword techniques, you can communicate through the identity token."

Seeing Qin Jincheng's stunned state, Su Zhan shook his head, not wanting to waste any more time. He turned around and walked out of the hall towards Baiyun Peak.

After Su Zhan left, the elders in the hall also picked up the jade slips one by one.

Only those who activated their true qi could see the contents of the jade slips, so even though they heard Qin Jincheng's words, they didn't witness it personally and still had doubts.

"According to the Sect Master, it seems that Su Zhan has truly completed the ancestral sword techniques!"

"There are so many ancestral sword techniques, how could he complete all of them in such a short time? Perhaps what the Sect Master took was his own technique, while the others were just some cultivation insights, records, and the like!"

"That makes sense. Completing the sword techniques... it's truly bullshit!"

A burly and muscular elder spoke while activating his jade slip.

As the curtain appeared, he became extremely excited inside and unconsciously let out a curse!

"It's real! It's real! Yuan Star Sword Technique! The sword technique I've longed for! I have been searching for it for years and only obtained a few parts. I never expected to see the complete Yuan Star Sword Technique today! With this technique, my strength will surely skyrocket, hahaha!"

"Mine is the Windstorm Sword Technique! A famous technique from the 12th generation sect master!"

"Hahaha, Radiant Light Sword Technique! Second generation Sect Master's technique! It was only in legends! And I actually obtained it!"

Excited voices echoed in the main hall of the Yuntian Sword Sect.

After the excitement subsided, the elders became slightly calm and showed an extreme look of doubt on their faces as they looked at Qin Jincheng.

"Sect Master, is it really possible to deduce a complete sword technique just based on someone's sword intent and understanding of the sword path? You have been comprehending it in the Sword Tomb for years..."

"Cough, cough!"

Qin Jincheng stared at the elder, and the latter immediately trembled, hastily closing his mouth.

"I can assure all of you that no one can deduce a complete sword technique just based on sword intent and understanding of the sword path!"

"As for Su Zhan..."

Qin Jincheng helplessly added, "Don't compare me to this strange person. This person isn't even human!"

The elders fell silent.

Then, they nodded in agreement.

...

At this moment, Xia Qitian's carriage had already arrived at the inner sect gate.

"Your Highness, Su Zhan still hasn't arrived!" The Butler of the Eastren Palace whispered.

After hearing this, Xia Qitian suddenly stepped out of the carriage and stood on the front deck.

His gaze swept over the intimidated disciples by the presence of his impressive carriage, and indeed, he didn't find the figure of Su Zhan. Xia Qitian's face turned dark.

"Let's go, to Baiyun Peak!

This is the last patience this palace has for Su Zhan!"
