Tian Mang Peak, a few hundred meters away from the Ling Jian Pavilion, under a tall and sturdy cypress tree.

A fourteen or fifteen year old youth with extraordinary features and bright eyes and white teeth was sitting upright in front of a square board stone. Looking at the black and white dragon that was fighting on the board, the youth furrowed his brows, but the black spot between his thumb and forefinger did not drop.

Although the old man had an old face, his eyes were still filled with light. After seeing that the young man had not fallen for a long time, the old man lifted his hand and stroked his beard. He said with a smile, "Young Sparrow Hawk, do you know why you lost?"

After the youth heard the old man's words, he gently placed the black object in his hand back into the chess box on his right, stood up, and bowed towards the old man. "Song Yao doesn't know? I have forgotten to answer Master's questions ? "

The old man looked at the young man lovingly, and with a wave of his hand, signaled the young man to sit down. He then said: "Since the chess board is the heaven and earth, the layout of the board shows a person's magnanimity. Anything in this world that could be imbued with water was the true state of the Dao! "If you show too much of your edge, it will be easy for you to break ?"

Song Yao thought for a moment, his heart did not agree with the old man's words, but out of respect, Song Yao still nodded.

The old man seemed to have seen through Song Yao as well and did not listen to his words. However, when he thought about how the other party was still so young, and that he was still inferior to when he was his age, he thought that the old man did not continue to lecture. After all, there were many truths in the world, and the one he truly understood was himself.

Holding up the tea on the board, he took a sip. The old man turned his head and looked in the direction of the Nine Immortal Cave, then turned to Song Yao and said: "Today, when your Martial Uncle Yan came out of the Nine Immortal Cave, did you know?"

Song Yao shook his head: "Martial Uncle Yan, did you come out today? This disciple does not know, but I think that perhaps Martial Uncle Yan comprehended some kind of powerful swordsmanship before coming out of the cave. "

The old man laughed, looked at Song Yao and said: "Young Sparrow Hawk, did you regret that you were unable to become my disciple of your Martial Uncle Yan back then?"

Song Yao obviously did not expect that his master would suddenly ask him this. After feeling frightened for a moment, he quickly stood up and bowed to the old man, then solemnly shook his head and replied, "Reporting to Master, disciple definitely does not have this kind of thought. Being able to become a disciple of Master is already a great opportunity that I have wished for!"

"Young Sparrow Hawk, don't worry, I have no other intentions ?" However, I feel that on the path of sword cultivation, I am indeed inferior to your Martial Uncle Yan! "

The old man slowly stood up and looked in the direction of Yan Luo. Then, he sighed: "Actually, in those years, I was extremely unwilling to accept Martial Uncle Yun as a disciple and yet I wasn't. However, so many years have passed, and the knot in my heart has been resolved since long ago. Compared to Master, your Martial Uncle Yan's talent and intelligence are indeed above mine, which means that Martial Uncle's choice back then was correct ? "

Song Yao stood behind the old man. Although the old man had said it like that, as his disciple, Song Yao did not dare to make any judgement, nor did he dare to interrupt the old man's words at all.

"Young Sparrow Hawk, I'm afraid that I will never be able to surpass your Martial Uncle Yan in my life on the path of the sword ?" As the old man spoke to here, he slowly turned his head to look at Song Yao and said: "However, I hope that my disciple can be stronger than your Martial Uncle Yan's disciples.

Song Yao looked at the old man doubtfully, and said, "Master, but the Martial Uncle Yan, hasn't he never had a successor until now?"

"Not having it now doesn't mean it will never happen again." The old man stopped and looked at Song Yao: "Today, your Martial Uncle Yan has walked out of the Nine Immortal Cave. If I'm not wrong, it should be the disciple your Martial Uncle Yan has been waiting for who came up the mountain ? Amongst the disciples of Mang Shan Sect, although Young Sparrow Hawk has the highest talent and comprehension in the way of the sword, that little fellow from Mei Mountain is definitely not a simple person ? "

"Mei Mountain?" Song Yao frowned slightly as he muttered.

The old man laughed: "Mei Mountain is located in the extreme southwest of the Nine Regions, and is currently not in Li Tangtian's territory, so it's normal for you to not have heard of Mei Mountain ? However, there is a huge relationship between our Mang Shan Sect and the Glass Bead Wonderland of the Mei Mountain. Over a hundred years ago, your ancestor Yun Che, the reason why your cultivation of the sword could break through the ninth level and become the number one swordsman in the entire Taoism Realm, even after descending a thousand years, was not without the help of the ancestor of the Mei Mountain! That's why our Mang Shan Sect owes Mei Mountain a great debt. The reason that the descendant of our Mei Mountain has come to our Mang Shan Sect is also because of the Hundred Years' agreement between the master of the Mei Mountain's Glass Bead Cave and your ancestor, Martial Uncle Yun! "

"So that's how it is!" Song Yao looked at the old man and nodded, "Master, if that's the case, does that mean Martial Uncle Yan hasn't accepted any disciples for the past hundred years? Could it be that it's all to wait for that descendant of the Mei Mountain?"

Song Yao knew that in the Mang Shan Sect, even though his master was a contemporary Master, there was an entire realm difference between the way of the sword and Martial Uncle Yan. The eighth level of the Divine Spirit Realm and the seventh level of the Star Seizer Realm.

The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it was to break through into the next realm. Of course, because of this, the gap between the strength levels of the two different realms would be infinitely widened.

Star Seizer Realm's sword cultivators would have a hard time resisting the full power of the Divine Realm's sword attack. For Star Seizer Realm's sword cultivators, if they wanted to defeat a Divine Realm sword cultivator, they could only kill a Divine Realm sword cultivator with the combined power of five Star Seizer Realm's sword cultivators!

Within the Mang Shan Sect, Yun Xiaoxiao was Martial Uncle's ancestor, and was publicly acknowledged as the number one person in the way of the sword. Naturally, she was also the number one person in the way of the sword in the Mang Shan Sect. Over these years, even though Master would occasionally tell some of the legendary stories of Martial Uncle Yun, it was hard to be sure whether or not he was still alive!

This was because Martial Uncle Ancestor Yun had left the Mang Shan Sect to roam the world. It had been over a hundred years since he last showed his face in Taoism Realm ? Martial Uncle Yan was the only successor of Martial Uncle Yun and other than Martial Uncle Yun, he was the only one Song Yao had access to who had the highest cultivation in the way of the sword, the true number one person in the way of the sword in Mang Shan Sect!
