Chapter 37 - Crappy Sword Techniques

Lu Sulan arranged Jiu Shen to stay inside one of their sect’s most luxurious guest rooms. It was even comparable to their elders’ quarters.

Towards this arrangement, Jiu Shen remained calm. ’The word luxurious is too much for such a shabby room. Even the servants that I had before were living in a much better place than this.’ He thought to himself.

"I hope you like this room, Lord Jiu Shen. This is the best guest room in our Ice Cloud Sword Sect." Lu Sulan said gently.

Jiu Shen looked unperturbed, but he was internally speechless at this ’best guest room’. ’Oh well, it’s only for the night anyway. I still prefer the room in my store though.’

"I will take my leave for now, Lord Jiu Shen. I still have to instruct the sect’s disciples about swordplay." Lu Sulan nodded her head elegantly at him. She did not mind being respectful at him, especially after learning that he was an Alchemy Saint. Although it was still uncertain whether his claim was genuine, his unfathomable power alone was enough for her to respect him.

"Instructing swordplay huh?" Jiu Shen muttered to himself in nostalgia.

In the Primordial God Realm, Jiu Shen was one of the top sword immortals. In fact, only one of the three celestial emperors, Sword God Jian Wang was stronger than him in sword techniques.

There were also countless supreme beings and supreme immortals that wished to take him as their master, but he refused all of them.

But even after his refusal, some still chose to follow him. Sometimes, he would discuss his insights on swordsmanship with them which greatly helped them in their path towards swordsmanship.

Jiu Shen sighed at his own thoughts and turned to look at Lu Sulan who was looking at him in bewilderment.

"Sect Leader Lu, I would like to watch how you train the young elites of your sect. I know that this sounds absurd, but I hope you don’t mind." Jiu Shen said calmly.

Lu Sulan was surprised at his request, but she did not decline. She will only be teaching the disciples about the fundamentals of swordsmanship. It was not the secret technique of their sect, so she did not really mind.

"Not a problem at all, Lord Jiu Shen. Since that’s the case, follow me towards the training grounds." Lu Sulan glanced at Jiu Shen.

Jiu Shen followed behind her with distant thoughts. ’If I had a sect of my own during my past life, that old fogie Lao Gou wouldn’t have been able to trap me so easily inside his God Sealing Tower... Maybe I should establish my own sect in this mortal world and foster my own army of elites...’

Celestial Emperor Lao Gou was the one who sealed Jiu Shen inside the God Sealing Tower.

Celestial Emperor Lao Gou found out that his second wife would secretly go out of her living quarters to join the other supreme beings every time Jiu Shen would discuss his insights in swordsmanship. Later on, he even heard his second wife was slowly falling for Jiu Shen.

And as a celestial emperor, how could he allow his wife to blindly listen to Jiu Shen’s insight in swordsmanship? Wouldn’t others say that his sword techniques were way weaker than Jiu Shen’s? Aside from that, she had also taken a liking to Jiu Shen when she was already his woman. So due to his anger, Celestial Emperor Lao Gou ordered the sect he nurtured, the Celestial Paragon Tower to capture Jiu Shen using the God Sealing Tower.

Jiu Shen fought against more than several dozen thousands of supreme beings and was able to escape despite his severe injuries.

Left with no choice, Celestial Emperor Lao Gou personally took action and fought with Jiu Shen for more than seven days. He then sealed him inside his God Sealing Tower...

Back to the story...

Not long after, they arrived inside the Ice Cloud Sword Sect’s training grounds. Jiu Shen heard multiple sweet grunts and lovely shouts as several young ladies executed their flashy sword techniques.

One young lady slashed her sword causing a burning sword radiance to materialize. Another young lady struck her sword on the ground which then produced earthen sword spikes around her.

Jiu Shen glanced at their display of sword techniques with an expressionless face while he internally shook his head in disdain. ’What kind of crappy sword techniques are these? They’re full of flaws and openings.’

Lu Sulan glanced at Jiu Shen to check his reaction at the wonderful display of her disciples. But when she saw his unchanging expression, she felt a bit annoyed.

"Lord Jiu Shen, what do you think about my disciples’ skills?" Lu Sulan asked tentatively.

Jiu Shen who was unconsciously revising their sword techniques was awoken by her sudden question. "They can be considered as dregs err... I mean they are good and can be further polished. Your disciples only needed to train the basics in detail so that they will be able to execute your sect’s sword techniques with much greater strength. Furthermore, the sword techniques that you guys taught them were somewhat flawed. It lacks substance and focused much on appearance. It can still be revised though..." Jiu Shen realized that he spoke too much, so he chose to remain silent.

As for Lu Sulan, she was surprised by his words. She was indeed going to teach her disciples with the basics of swordsmanship in order to strengthen their foundations. She was able to realize their shortcomings after watching them for several months, but Jiu Shen saw through them in one look? ’Was he able to see their flaws after just one glance? Or was it just a coincidence?’

As for his remarks about their sword techniques being flawed, she ignored it and took it as him spouting bullshit.

How could their sect’s sword techniques be flawed? It was, after all, the byproduct of their former sect mistresses’ efforts. All of them were awe-inspiring figures that brought fear and worship towards the Silver Wing Empire’s citizens. And the sword techniques that they made were powerful and profound.

"Lord Jiu Shen, our sword techniques are made by the previous sect mistresses of our Ice Cloud Sword Sect. A few of them were even 9th-rank Saint realm experts. So how could their techniques be flawed?" Lu Sulan replied in a slightly dissatisfied tone of voice.

Hearing her words, Jiu Shen shook his head calmly and remained silent.
