This force wasn’t enough to completely change the trajectory of the sword, but it did cause a slight deviation and delay.

A sense of dread filled his heart, and he found himself in a dilemma, having to both attack and retrieve his flying sword, but he was confident that his sword would never be taken from him, a belief inherent to a sword cultivator.

As he released his grip, preparing to shatter the Sword Gang and injure his enemy, he suddenly felt a surge of power erupt from the flying sword returning to his Purple Mansion.

His body went numb,

and in the next moment, he felt a light tap on his head.

By the time he regained control of his body, the good person was already a hundred yards away.

Wei Gu was stunned, his defeat coming so unexpectedly that he failed to use even a third of his capabilities.

But a defeat was a defeat!

As a sword cultivator who relied on explosive power, he was utterly dominated in this regard, leaving him without any excuses.

Yet, he wasn’t one to be a sore loser.

The excitement of encountering a formidable opponent still outweighed his disappointment,

“Your skills are astonishing, and I have lost,” he said.

“But what I want to know is, how did you manage to seize my flying sword?”

This question was quite rude, as no one was obligated to answer it—it was a secret of cultivation.

But he just couldn’t help himself; without understanding this, he would never dare to use his flying sword against someone again!

But the good person truly was kind, sharing without reservation, “I possess a Primordial Magnetic Dao Body, and your flying sword is of the metal attribute.

Moreover, personally, I think that the flying sword’s hovering moment in confrontation seemed unnecessary?

More complexity, but less speed.”

Having this realization, Wei Gu understood what he could improve on, ensuring that next time he wouldn’t be easily exploited.

But it wasn’t over yet, “When the flying sword entered my body, was it accompanied by the…

thunder you attached?”

The good person bowed with cupped hands, “A minor trick.

Without it, one couldn’t survive under the swords of sword cultivators…

Seizing the sword, be it a flying sword or a longsword, is all an illusion.”

Wei Gu now understood completely, but even with the knowledge that it was an illusion, it had thrown him into utter chaos.

And even though he now knew it to be a mere trick, if given another chance, he still wouldn’t allow it.

This good person was truly a master; these techniques might be easy to talk about, but executing them was extremely difficult.

That single interception required courage, judgment, experience, and so much more—missing any single element wouldn’t have allowed for such a feat.

He had a great impression of this person in his heart.

Cultivators of the Heavenly Heart Pavilion indeed had a magnanimous disposition, and he wasn’t one to be narrow-minded and unable to concede when necessary.

“Thank you for enlightening me.

Your secret will go no further than from your lips to my ears.

I take my leave.”

…Wei Gu had been defeated in a single move, shocking hundreds of True Inheritors outside.

He might not have been the strongest among the nineteen, but he was certainly not weak.

Yet he had been defeated so easily and decisively?

Only Gu Daozi gloated triumphantly, “What did I say?

Off you go quickly, and back even quicker!

So much for the so-called chief of the Demon Sect; turns out to be quite lacking.”

But the others didn’t share his petty attitude.

Huai Liangyou’s expression grew serious, “It’s Ancient Martial Body Cultivation!”

His several companions nodded in agreement, affirming his assessment.

Body Cultivation, being second only to Daoist practices in popularity on the Jinxiu Continent, had its many branches within various sects.

This was true for the Daoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and certainly not least, the Demon Sect.

The body is a treasure of humanity that cannot be overvalued.

There are many types of Body Cultivation, including Dharma Body Cultivation, Bloodline Body Cultivation, Form Body Cultivation, Divine Power Body Cultivation, and Beast Body Cultivation, among others.

One significant branch is that of Ancient Martial Body Cultivation.

For instance, the Qin Sect in the northwest is known for Ancient Martial Cultivation, distinct from the rest.

In the Cultivation World, there’s a concept of mutual suppression: magic cultivation tends to overpower body cultivation, body cultivation over sword cultivation, and sword cultivation over magic cultivation.

This view can be biased, as real combat also depends on individual ability.

The concept of suppression is only one facet.

In this regard, Ancient Martial Body Cultivators are indeed the bane of sword cultivators, especially in close combat.

Few can match those who’ve spent their lives mastering martial arts, combining reflexes, speed, adaptability, and Divine Skills into a deadly human weapon.

Although they’ve now taken the situation seriously, they haven’t lost confidence.

With Wei Gu’s lesson in mind—avoid close contact.

Magic cultivators have countless examples of defeating body cultivators with numerous strategies at their fingertips.

For these particular cultivators, each one has an entire arsenal of methods to bind, wear down, harass, and exhaust their opponents.

Their concern wasn’t about strength-orientated body cultivators but rather the unreasonable burst power of sword cultivators.

Cheng Kun sighed in relief, “It seems the Heavenly Heart Pavilion hasn’t given up on their objectives and still wishes to stop us.

This person is very strong with top-notch adaptability, but that’s exactly what we’re not afraid of.

At a distance, what can they do to us?”

Lou Yue sighed, “At least one fact is clear now—he’s not a Constellation True Inhabitor.

Among the ten Constellation True Inheritors here, none follow this path.

Alas, the world is vast, filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

With his skills, he could rank within the top hundred among the nearly thousand True Inheritors on the continent.

Where did he spring from?”

…After being defeated, Wei Gu remained impassive.

There was no shame in it—whether a sword cultivator wins or loses in an instant, what difference does it make compared to fighting all day long?

It’s not like one is going to die from exhaustion.

While the rest could only guess, he alone knew the good person’s true strength.

It wasn’t just his resilient Daoist Body but also his concealed thunderous methods.

He thought gleefully that those magic dullards who assumed they’d take advantage of the situation had some bitter lessons coming their way.

He’d just watch the fun and laugh at the jokes without saying a word!

…Daoist Qiu Shi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He had many speculations about this helper, but he never imagined the man would be an Ancient Martial Body Cultivator.

Not that it’s a bad thing—after all, the Heavenly Heart Pavilion too has cultivators who have practiced Body Cultivation, quite a few indeed.

He never thought that such a thin and unimpressive person could be so fierce in battle.

From seizing the sword to defeating the sword cultivator in one move, the display of prowess was admirable.

It’s truly unimaginable where the old master’s friend found such a talent.

With such strength here, one cannot say for sure they could stop the nineteen, but winning a few clean battles was definitely possible, and at the very least, the Heavenly Heart Pavilion wouldn’t lose face.

Among the Heavenly Heart Pavilion disciples behind him, two young Daoists, initially set to fight, were discontent with Qiu Shi’s decisions.

They’d been muttering complaints, but upon witnessing the real battle unfold, they couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.

“Uncle-Master Qiu, so Hao Brother is an Ancient Body practitioner.

You’ve kept us in the dark all this time, never hearing a hint about your involvement in this area,” one of them said.

Daoist Qiu Shi’s face twitched, “I don’t practice Ancient Martial Arts.

All this is your Hao Brother’s fortune from outside, which he has cultivated for decades to achieve greatness.

That’s why I tell you: don’t always linger in the Sea of Flowers; get out and gain more experience.

Always boasting of being unbeatable within the pavilion, how do you feel when facing a true powerhouse?

Forget Hao Brother; do you think you could handle that sword cultivator?”
