Art of Arkean Eon
Chapter 3

Meng Chuan was from the Godfiend family clan. With the guidance of the Dao Mirror Lake Academy system, the foundation was extremely solid. His best sword arts had reached the Greater Mastery stage, and he was only a step away from reaching Unity.

Biography is mostly a story.

Sometimes, just a few sentences in a single book were useful for my cultivation. Maybe I can't even find anything useful in one biography. Also, some of these stories are very credible and some are less believable. They need to be classified accordingly.

With such a foundation, he was better prepared to distinguish the usefulness of each biography.

In one of the biographies, Meng Chuan saw a proverb from the Northern Sword Emperor addressed to his descendants.

putting your training into place makes someone just a slave to the sword. Only by training your heart and mind will you become the master of the Sword.

Not the heart and mind become the sword.

As he stared at these words, he pondered. The descendant that the Northern Sword Emperor had given the hint was a Seamless realm expert. The latter sword technique had at least reached Unity. He should have put his heart and mind into it during his usual practice, but the Northern Sword Emperor still said that.. Clearly, he did not consider a Seamless realm expert who had inserted his heart and mind into his cultivation.

Meng Chuan continued reading Godfiends biographies.

Sometimes, the proverb left behind by a certain Godfiend or a certain deed made Meng Chuan speculate.

In the eyes of someone looking for inspiration, one could see the reason behind the power of Godfiends.

One skill to eat until full; one skill to kill. All you need is one no-frills skill. This is an excerpt from one of the biographies. It came from a conversation between the powerful Godfiend-Fiend Saber Wei Feng - and his disciple three thousand years ago. There were a total of fifteen versions of Wei Feng's Demon Sword stories sold in Eastcalm Prefecture.

Among them, there was a saying similar to "one skill to eat to satiety; one skill to kill. All you need is one no-frills skill." Meng Chuan also noted it.

In addition to his biography, he also appreciated the family teachings of the famous Godfiend family clan.

Godfiends. In general, it was things that Godfiends believed were very much left behind by important Family teachings.

The more he recorded, the more surprised he was.

Aim for the heavens; not doing so would only result in a mediocre state. It is true to learn from the most powerful Godfiend in history! However, biography is just the tip of the iceberg. Without a strong foundation, it was very easy for one to get lost. Meng Chuan was aware of this because he was paying attention to the family cultivation teachings that many people emphasized his foundation.

All the family members would enter the Dao Academy and receive a complete education in cultivation.

This was because the Dao Academy was founded by the oldest sect in the world - the Archaean Mountain. They were in every major city in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all Dao Academies were founded by the Archean Mountain. Only with the education system cultivating in the Dao Academy could one have a solid foundation.

Of course, it was just teaching the basics. His sword arts were only one step away from reaching Unity realm. Dao Academy had taught him everything he needed in his seven years of cultivation. All he needed was to figure it out for himself now.

My foundation is enough. All I need now is the final step to make a breakthrough. Much of what I have recorded today has inspired me. However, there is no need to rush. I will read these books for a while before putting them together.

I need at least three Godfiends to share the same cultivation principles before I consider them to be trustworthy.

......................

Day after day, Meng Chuan gathered and consolidated knowledge in ever-increasing numbers. He also entered the "Eternal Law" of the Dao Mirror Lake Academy — that was the cultivation rule that the Arkean Mountain had created.

The combination of the two allowed Meng Chuan to better understand.

Done it.

In the evening, Meng Chuan looked at his notebook and smiled.more important than my past five years of cultivation. Meng Chuan looked at the notebook happily. He was now clearer in these five days of having an understanding of cultivation.

First it emphasizes the importance of one's foundation. It was similar to the foundation of a house.Living a complete cultivation system was a cultivation order Entering the Dao Academy and choosing the best one.

Second command frequency. No matter how much one imagined in the heart, it could not compare to cultivating ten thousand times! An expression like drawing a sword that a person emphasized ten thousand times and repeated it was the Optimistic Daily Shadow Thrust that the twelve Godfiends had mentioned.

The third commandment is one skill to eat your orders;, he only needs one skill to kill the enemy. If he learned one skill and became extreme, it would be more useful to study ten other relatively powerful assassins! It was similar to the second move.

fourth Difficulty of cultivation. Even if one were to have difficulty and grit one's teeth to cultivate, they would only be beginners! Only those who truly enjoy cultivation and carefully study the profound commands that involve and immerse themselves in every move, can become a grandmaster.

The fifth commandment: "Forward in a day, changed in a few months, Success will eventually come..."

He also understood the true meaning behind the words Northern Sword Emperor "not putting your heart and mind into sword practice making someone just a sword slave. Only by training your heart and mind will you become the master of the sword." Typical cultivators train hard, but these are not those who put their hearts in it. To truly enjoy swordplay, obsess over it, to leave everything outside, and truly indulge in training like a crazy demon, one would become a grandmaster. Otherwise, one would just be a beginner.

Commandment six...

......................

There are nine orders in total.

All commands have at least three Godfiends mentioning them. Moreover, with what Meng Chuan knew, he considered them to be very reasonable.

I have been practicing my sword every day for a few hours until I was exhausted. But no matter how tired I am, I will just grit my teeth and hold it. In the past, I thought I was trying, but obviously, that doesn't mean putting my mind and heart into it. I should enjoy and immerse myself in sword arts while I seriously contemplate every move. Meng Chuan felt that this was the biggest problem he had. First of all, cultivation is exhausting.

Usually, he would draw for two hours in the afternoon. It was his only guilty pleasure. It was a hobby he had since childhood. Through painting, his cultivation would be forgotten, and his heart that was tired from piling up would also become very calm. This allowed him to endure one after another year.

In the past, I looked diligent and hardworking, but in the end, I was just a beginner. Unable to hold back any longer, Meng Chuan put down his notebook and walked out of the study room into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, he began training his top-tier sword arts, the Fallen Leaf Sword.

Ever since he was young, he had chosen the fast sword because he liked it sincerely from the bottom of his heart. It was solely due to exhausting and repetitive exercises that dispelled his cravings. But when he changed his state of mind today, he once again focused on his sword arts using both body and mind.

Unlike before he had only used the first stance of the Fallen Leaf Sword, the Drawing Sword Technique. He threw everything else into the back of his mind as he completely focused on his sword arts, as if the only thing in this world was the sword in his hand! Then he attacked with his sword! He could feel the silence of the sword as it was taken. He could sense that sword arts were still the same sword arts, but his mentality had changed. What he saw also changed.

Love is awakened.

The sword was secretly taken.

The trajectory of the sword is a beautiful sweep in a painting. He tried his best to make the trajectory more graceful with each slash, causing the wind generated from each slash to become a beautiful technique, and Meng Chuan's sword technique to increase to a faster one. This sword is really powerful at such a level.

He repeated the same movements again and again, trying to attack faster and more silently as he took his sword, working hard to cut through the wind at an ever-increasing speed.

He repeated it fifty times before he was satisfied.

This should be a way to cultivate!

Meng Chuan was very excited, and then he started to use the second style - the Spinning Moon Steps.

......................

Two days after Meng Chuan compiled the cultivation records, in the underground hall of the Yun family.

Whoosh~

In the middle of the hall, purple flames appeared.

A black-haired elder sat in a lotus position inside the fire, completely unharmed.

"Dad, respectfully walked into the main hall but did not dare to approach. Even from afar, he could feel the heat - which caused the air to distort - invade Yun Fu'an, you are calling me?" headed for him.

"Fu'an." The black-haired elder opened his eyes, his gaze calm. "I just received the news. The old woman from the Meng family was severely injured while defending against the demons in the Calm Sea Path. He probably won't live long. He should return to Eastcalm in the next few days..."

Yun Fu'an. "Dad, you mean Fairy Meng?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The black-haired elder slightly nodded.

"Could it be a mistake?" Yun Fu'an could not believe it. "It is not said that Fairy Meng is the best at reconnaissance. Nothing could be hidden from him within five kilometers. He didn't even need to rush to the frontlines, so how did he suddenly get seriously injured?"

"There is no mistake about that," said the black-haired elder coldly. "The Calm Sea King hired some highly skilled doctors for him, but the old woman's injuries were too severe. No one can save him. This was no longer a secret on the Calm Sea Path! If he did not continue the fight and lived a despicable life, he would live at most another eight years. If he fought with all his might, his lifespan would be shorter."

"Eight years at most?" Yun Fu'an inevitably said, "Without Fairy Meng, isn't the Meng family over?"

Family clans flourished because of the Godfiend.

"The five Godfiend clans of Eastcalm Prefecture will soon be four." The black-haired elder nodded.

Similarly, without Godfiends, the family clan would become ordinary.

"The Meng family will also lose the right to occupy so many important positions and interests in Eastcalm," the black-haired elder coldly said. "Right, you must travel to the Meng family to make them hand over the marriage agreement between Qingping and the person named Meng Chuan, and tear it up on the spot! The current Meng family ... does not deserve to enter into a marriage alliance with us."

"Yes," Yun Fu'an replied respectfully.

"However, before the old woman dies, there is no need to fear losing courtesy with them." After speaking, the black-haired elder closed his eyes.

Yun Fu'an quietly left.

......................

"What's? Cancel the marriage agreement?" Yun Qingping looked at her father in shock. Isn't he against it? Why did he suddenly change his mind?

"I'm just telling you." Yun Fu'an smiled. "Today, I'll pay for Meng's family trip to cancel your engagement."

Yun Qingping inevitably asked, "Will the Meng family hand over the marriage contract obediently?"

"They will do it," Yun Fu'an said confidently. His father had received word from a good friend that Meng's family already knew about the impending death of their ancestor. These big family clans knew themselves well. Opposing stubbornly will only invite insults on themselves.

Yun Qingping immediately said, "Dad, I just want to cancel the engagement. I don't want to quarrel with them and ruin the harmony between our families. Why don't we invite Uncle Meng over for a discussion..."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Yun Fu'an smiled. "Alright, leave this matter to me. Stay home and wait for the good news."
