“Silent!” A stone statue of a patriarch standing at the top of the altar spoke up, and all the rest of the stone statues stopped talking immediately.

As it was known, the higher the stone statue was, the higher his position in the hierarchy was.

The stone statue at the top must have been the first patriarch of the Taotian Sword.

The first patriarch of the Taotian Sword was a skinny person with a high nose. A print of thunder was in between his eyebrows. And firelike light was given off by his pupils.

As a stone statue, it did give irresistible force to him.

The first patriarch stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Zhang Ruochen, do you know the origin of Nine-Life Sword Technique?”

“I don’t know,” said Zhang Ruochen.

The first patriarch added immediately, “There are four Saint Places for Way of Sword in the whole Kunlun’s Field: Sword Pavilion of Taichi Sect, Mount Martial God of Martial Market Bank, Fragrance City at the side of Snow-Willow River, and Wang Family in Pluto Sword Tomb, which are called Sword Pavilion, Sword Mountain, Sword City and Sword Family.”

“Sword monks could only learn sword techniques at the level of Saint Spell in the four Saint Places for Way of Sword. And Wordless Sword Manual, which contains all sword techniques, is in Sword Pavilion, making it the head of four Saint Places for Way of Sword.”

“Wang Family was brilliant 10,000 years ago, which not only generated ten Sword Saints, but even a Supreme Saint of Sword Saint.”

“But in recent years, Wang Family could no longer generate top talents in Way of Sword, and fell into a temporary shortage of talents, which made it fall to the last of the four Saint Places for Way of Sword.”

“Wang Family has six sword techniques at the level of Saint Spell, and each of its six sword keepers would practice one of them and then pass it on generation after generation.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “How could the keeper of the Zangtian Sword practice Nine-Life Sword Technique and Nine-Death Sword Technique at the same time?”

The first patriarch continued, “The so-called Nine-Life Sword Technique and Nine-Death Sword Technique were actually the same sword technique, Nine-Life Nine-Death Nine-Circle Sword Technique.”

“But it was extremely hard to exercise, and only a few Saint Swords could exercise it to its utmost. Therefore, the patriarch of the Zangtian Sword split it into three simpler sword techniques, called Nine-Life Sword Technique, Nine-Death Sword Technique and Nine-Circle Sword Technique.”

“It was not hard, nor easy for you to crack the first move of Nine-Life Sword Technique. One move of True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique in the line of our Taotian Sword could restrain it.”

Zhang Ruochen was delighted, and asked, “How long would it take to exercise True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique?”

“True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique is nothing easier than Nine-Life Nine-Death Nine-Circle Sword Technique. Even with your talent, you couldn’t achieve it in less than 20 years,” said the first patriarch.

Zhang Ruochen gave a weak smile, “I’ve gave my word to crack the first move of Nine-Life Sword Technique in three days. Tomorrow I will have to fight with her. And I will not be able to crack it.”

“Maybe you can.”

The first patriarch said again, “I’ve seen you fight with her. You used a sword technique with the power of time input into it. If you could combine the sword technique of True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique with the power of time, you might have a chance to crack it.”

Zhang Ruochen was encouraged by the words of the first patriarch.

The reason why True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique was hard to exercise was not that its sword moves were hard to learn, but that the Rule of Sword Way in its sword technique was hard to comprehend.

If Zhang Ruochen could learn the sword moves and combine the Time Mark with it, he would surely crack the Nine-Life Sword Technique of Ling Feiyu.

Next, the 16th patriarch taught the moves of True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen had memorized 70% to 80% of the moves only by watching the 16th patriarch
