No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.

Ye Ping was already stunned.

He originally thought that his eldest senior brother would give him a random secret manual, but he didn’t expect it to be a supreme technique.

“Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique”

He could tell from its name that it was a supreme technique.

Otherwise, how could it be called ‘Ancient Godfiend’?

This!

This!

This!

Ye Ping’s breathing began to quicken.

‘This is really a hidden sect that is secretly impressive.’

‘If this isn’t a secretly impressive sect, what else is?’ 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Ye Ping’s breathing quickened.

Su Changyu misunderstood.

He subconsciously thought that Ye Ping had discovered something and immediately bit the bullet to explain.

“Little Junior Brother, this is something I found in ancient ruins and I don’t know its origin either. However, we cultivators can’t just cultivate the Sword Dao. We can’t lack spiritual cultivation and physical cultivation.”

“You’ve missed the best period for spiritual cultivation, and your spiritual root is inferior. It might be a good thing to focus on physical cultivation first.”

Su Changyu was purely spouting nonsense because there was no such thing in the world of immortal cultivation.

Most physical cultivators were in physical cultivation because their spiritual roots were too poor for them to consider anything else.

During the Qi Refinement cultivation realm, physical cultivation might be somewhat outstanding. After all, they were still in a low martial state, and physical cultivation was definitely useful.

However, when one reached the Foundation Establishment, the purpose of physical cultivation would be reduced.

Golden Core powerhouses would be able to kill enemies that were hundreds of kilometers away with a flying sword.

However, powerhouses of physical cultivation would not be able to kill enemies that were hundreds of kilometers away with a single punch unless the secret manual was real.

However, was that possible?

Su Changyu had read the secret manual before, and the content was simply nonsensical and full of groundless boasting. If not for the fact that he practiced immortal cultivation, Su Changyu would have been fooled.

In fact, the secret manual mostly contained theories, except for a portion of the content that was about proper refinement techniques.

That was the reason that Su Changyu gave the secret manual to Ye Ping.

He just wanted to give Ye Ping something to do so that the latter wouldn’t have to spend all day trying to get an epiphany out of the sword mark. In the long run, Ye Ping would definitely get bored of it.

Besides, during this period of time, Su Changyu also had to study the sword manual. Hence, there was nothing wrong with giving Ye Ping that secret manual to stall for time.

Would Ye Ping learn it or not?

Su Changyu was not jumping to conclusions.

Comprehending the Four Thunder Sword Techniques from the sword mark was still reasonable.

If Ye Ping could comprehend anything out of the nonsensical secret manual, he vowed to swallow all the flying swords in Qingzhou.

“I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping understood what Su Changyu said pretty well.

Cultivators with poor aptitude generally had to go through physical refinement to improve their physical condition.

Thus, they would be able to dual cultivation of spirit and body.

Generally, sword techniques would be used against enemies, but if one used their physique to suppress the opponent at the critical juncture, they would be able to catch the enemies off guard and leave them with no means of prevention.

They could even say, “I’m sorry but I’m best at physical cultivation.”

At the thought of this, Ye Ping couldn’t help but get even more excited.

“It’s best that you understand, Junior Brother. Alright, inform me if there’s any problem. Just take the secret manual with a pinch of salt. If you really can’t understand anything, don’t force yourself, understand?”

“Even if you want to practice, you should first condense the complete sword momentum of the Four Thunder Sword Techniques.” 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Su Changyu left after giving him instructions.

“Take care, Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping sent Su Changyu off.

Soon, after Su Changyu left, Ye Ping contained his excitement and put the “Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique” in his arms.

He then continued to comprehend the sword mark.

Ye Ping’s comprehension speed became faster and faster, perhaps because of his excitement.

His mind was now filled with thoughts of the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique.

The Four Thunder Sword Techniques sounded mediocre.

However, the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique was different.

It sounded wild, cool, and domineering.

What were the Four Thunder Sword Techniques compared to it?

Attacking with thunder? Weren’t his hands enough?

However, Ye Ping was well aware.

He reckoned that the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique was definitely going to be difficult to learn, so he had to put in all his effort into learning it. Otherwise, he would be at a huge loss if he failed to master the physical cultivation technique and the sword techniques.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Late at night, Su Changyu looked at the sword manual in his hand and fell into a state of silence.

The sword manual was the one that Daoist Tai Hua had spent a bomb on.

It contained the Dao and the first person to read the sword manual would be enlightened and quickly master the sword techniques.

However, Su Changyu had been reading it for two days.

Yet, he hadn’t comprehended the true meaning of the sword moves.

That caused Su Changyu to fall into silence.

At the same time, he also felt a little nervous.

Daoist Tai Hua wanted him to learn it in three to four days and then impart it to Ye Ping.

However, he couldn’t learn it well and thus was incredibly upset.

Most importantly, Su Changyu felt that it didn’t make sense.

Although his aptitude was average, the problem was that the sword manual was marked with the Dharmic Dao and would provide some enhancement.

‘Why can’t I master it?’

‘Isn’t it stated that anyone with hands would be able to learn it?’

‘I’ve used my feet too, but why can’t I learn it?’

‘Am I really not suited for practicing swordsmanship?’

Su Changyu felt terrible.

If not for the comparison with Ye Ping, he wouldn’t have felt that his talent was inferior.

However, after comparing himself with Ye Ping, Su Changyu began to feel even more upset.

However, Su Changyu’s agony was not because of talent.

He had never felt that he was very talented.

The main reason for his misery was the sword manual.

If Daoist Tai Hua knew that he had not comprehended this sword manual, he would probably kill him.

It cost 500 Spirit Stones.

After the discount, it cost 450 Spirit Stones, which was the revenue that the Qingyun Dao Sect would take hundreds of years to earn.

Yet, he still failed to comprehend it.

Frankly speaking, even Su Changyu couldn’t tolerate it himself, let alone Daoist Tai Hua.

“What do I do!? What do I do!? I feel horrible.”

Pangs of panic engulfed Su Changyu, and he continuously asked himself what he should do.

After a long time, Su Changyu finally thought of a solution.

“Right. I may have failed to learn the sword move, but there’s an explanation in the sword manual. I don’t have to impart it to Little Junior Brother at all. I just have to extract the core and teach it to him.”

“If Little Junior Brother manages to learn it, he’s considered to be talented. If he can’t, I can’t be blamed either. Who said that talents have to be all-rounded?”

Su Changyu suddenly came up with a solution.

Although he did not know much about the Chuanhe Swordsmanship, he could make up lies. If Ye Ping didn’t understand anything, he could just explain it in his own terms and ideas.

At the thought of this, Su Changyu finally smiled.

He immediately opened the sword manual, read it once seriously, and then pushed open the door to go look for Ye Ping.

15 minutes later.

In the Qingyun Dao Sect.

It was extremely peaceful.

Su Changyu paced towards the cliff alone quietly.

However, at this moment, a thunderbolt sounded.

It shook the trees.

Su Changyu was stunned.

He looked in the direction of the back cliff and fell silent as his smile gradually stiffened.

He could sense it.

The sound of thunder just now was the result of the sound of the completion of sword momentum.

It had been less than half a day.

Ye Ping immediately comprehended the Autumn Thunder Swordsmanship and the Winter Thunder Swordsmanship.

That caused Su Changyu to be at a loss for words.

Especially now that it was nighttime, Su Changyu somehow slipped into an inexplicable mood.

He became exceptionally melancholic and was in low spirits.

He did not go to the cliff.

Instead, he quietly walked to a deserted place on his own.

Su Changyu had no idea what was wrong with him lately.

Whenever night fell, he would become glum and sorrowful.

Besides, his condition seemed to be getting worse.

The scattered moonlight penetrated through the clouds.

He shunned from the crowd and scurried away.

‘I’m sorry to be born as a human’

Somehow, that phrase popped up in Su Changyu’s mind.
