Chapter 19 - Sword Forging Ancestor
"Yun'er, your martial arts have nearly reached the Grandmaster level in just three years, which is likely related to the strength and speed you have managed to maintain. Exceptional speed and power provide you with certain prerequisites, allowing you to perform many actions and techniques that ordinary people cannot, thus enabling your martial arts to progress remarkably."
"However, it is precisely because of your rapid advancement in skills that you have neglected the fundamentals! While ordinary individuals may not be your match, if you encounter a true master, even if their speed and strength do not compare to yours, defeating you will not be difficult. Therefore, for the next few years, it would be best for you not to focus on the height of your skills but rather on solidifying your foundational martial arts."
Despite critiquing Lian Yun's shortcomings, Lin Xi's expression was still filled with admiration. After all, even with strength and speed, without diligent practice, it would be impossible to possess skills akin to a Grandmaster at the age of sixteen.
Lian Yun bowed respectfully, acknowledging the lesson!
However, Lin Dong stepped forward, gently ruffling Lian Yun's hair, shaking his head slightly with a sympathetic expression. "What my second brother said is not entirely correct! Over the past three years, Yun'er has exhausted himself to maintain his Second-Rank Monarch physical capabilities; how could he find time to solidify his foundation?"
"Moreover, being part of the Lian Family means that if he cannot control his own abilities, it is easy for him to expose his physical abnormalities! So it's not that Yun'er does not value the basics; it's simply that he has no time!"
"Uncle understands me!" Lian Yun bowed again, his tone and demeanor tinged with sadness.
What should have been the safest place—the family home—had become the most dangerous area. Every action had to be taken with extreme caution, a sorrow that not everyone could bear.
Furthermore, Lian Yun's knowledge and martial arts were both nurtured within the Lin Family; how could he not understand the importance of fundamentals? Yet in the past three years, he truly had no time to hone his basics. He was still uncertain about whether he could maintain his strength at all, leading him to feel an overwhelming sense of urgency every moment.
If it weren't for wanting to give Lianjiang another chance, he could have long since gone to the Lin Family for a more convenient and comfortable environment for growth.
However, Lianjiang's repeated disappointments left Lian Yun feeling despondent, as if all his efforts over the past three years had been in vain—a sense of helplessness and powerlessness washed over him.
Yet Lin Xi's assessment was not wrong; he evaluated based on Lian Yun's current situation, while Lin Dong assessed from Lian Yun's living environment.
"A good man should step forward; how can he be haunted by the past!"
A voice, reminiscent of a mother's reprimand, rang out, causing Lin's Three Uncles to turn around in surprise, their expressions filled with joy.
"Mother! How did you come out?" Lin Dong hurried forward to support Grandma.
However, the scene was somewhat strange, as Grandma appeared to be in her thirties, looking even younger than Lin Dong.
"Hmph! Can't I come out for a stroll?" Despite her poor attitude, there was a hint of satisfaction and joy on her face.
"Of course you can! Mother, you should come out more often!" Lin Xi and Lin Nan quickly stepped forward, excitedly complimenting her.
Ever since Lin Jin passed away twenty years ago, Grandma had been living in seclusion, rarely leaving the courtyard. Even when she did go out, it was only to handle extremely important matters, and once those were done, she would return immediately without lingering outside.
Thus, the three sons of the Lin Clan could only do their best to make that courtyard a comfortable place for Mother to live.
Now that they saw Mother stepping out of the courtyard for leisure, the three uncles were naturally overjoyed. Their gazes towards Lian Yun carried an unspoken gratitude.
It was known that this was something almost no one could accomplish. Now that Lian Yun had just returned and Mother had come out, the reasons behind it were quite evident.
Lian Yun and Lin Nan hurried over as well, each calling her "Grandma" or "Nana," their faces filled with eagerness to please.
The atmosphere of three generations under one roof brought an undeniable smile to Grandma's face. However, she slightly frowned and asked, "Where are Yuer and the others?"
Yuer referred to Lin Dong's eldest son, Lin Family's Eldest Grandson Lin Feiyu, who was Lian Yun's older cousin!
Clearly, Grandma came over with the intention of checking on her eldest grandson.
Lin Dong hurriedly instructed, "I asked Yu to find a sword for Yun'er! Considering the time, whether or not he can bring it back, Yuer should return by evening! Mother, you might as well stay outside a little longer!"
Even though they were in their own home, Lin Dong still used the term "stay outside," indicating his concern that Grandma would retreat back to her courtyard and become reclusive again, only coming out when absolutely necessary.
This made Grandma feel somewhat emotional as she softly said, "Perhaps I really should go out more often! You three have worked hard all these years!"
"It's not hard at all; I’m not tired one bit!" The three Monarchs of the Lin Clan spoke with a hint of choked emotion, revealing that they were indeed not untroubled but rather deeply worried for their mother.
"Yun'er will come to see me later!"
With that, Grandma turned to leave.
"Grandma, where are you planning to go?"
"I'm going to the city with your mother and a few others. Yun'er didn't bring any clothes when he came home; we need to get him some daily necessities!"
Although it was for Lian Yun that she brought along her daughter-in-law, the three uncles of Lin's family were suddenly overjoyed. They quickly waved their hands and sent the fastest Ghost Slave nearby to spread the news!
The scene that followed could be imagined: Lian Yun's three aunts were also thrilled, happily supporting Grandma as she strolled through the city!
After all, Grandma had hardly left the courtyard in nearly twenty years, let alone left the Lin Family.
Once they saw Grandma off, Lian Yun's expression suddenly became somewhat serious!
It was not merely the favor of the matriarch, but rather the need for the Lin Family's Eldest Grandson to step forward. Even then, acquiring that treasured sword was no easy feat; it was an existence of immense value.
The only thing Lian Yun could think of was a spiritual sword!
In today's world, when it came to places where spiritual swords could be found, there was only one location in Huaxia Land: Divine Sword Mountain, located four hundred miles north of the capital!
This was the domain of a figure of extraordinary status, revered by both humans and demons alike—the Demon Emperor!
That Demon Emperor was none other than the Historical Figure, Sword Forging Ancestor Ouzhizi!
Ouzhizi was one of the earliest Historical Figures to appear, but he was different from any other historical personage. Upon his emergence, he chose to forge long swords at a Sword Mountain outside the capital.
He was a very special Demon Emperor with immense power, allowing him to forge swords at an astonishing speed—hundreds of renowned swords in a single day were no challenge for him.
In less than two or three years, he had amassed a towering Divine Sword Mountain!
When the ore supply ran low, Ouzhizi sent his subordinates to negotiate with both the human race and the Demon Clan, trading treasured swords for ore. He also agreed to allow humans to seek swords from the souls of the Demon Clan at Divine Sword Mountain.
