    Ruben said. “This initial version of the Legendary Sword Technique is stored in all three major sword


    sects. However, very few people are learning it nowadays, and we wouldn’t rmend our sect


    disciples to try it. Since you are the inheritor of the Heavenly Sword King, I believe it’s only fitting for


    you to take a look at the original version, which is the Legendary Sword Technique manuscript you hold


    in your hands. Furthermore, I have here a meticulously revised edition of the Soul Sword Technique,


    which I would also like to present to you.”


    Ruben’s action was driven by his concern that Emrys might not be able to master the initial version.


    Therefore, he also gifted him the simplified version of the Soul Sword Technique. In this way, even if


    Emrys couldn’t learn the former, he could still practice the


    Ruben’s actions could be considered extremely sincere.


    Emrys looked at him in surprise, asking, “Why are you treating me so kindly?”


    Ruben wore a somewhat nostalgic expression, and said, “Back in the day, Lwas nothing more than a


    destitute man. If it hadn’t been for the intervention of the Heavenly Sword King, I would long have died


    by the hands of my enemies. From the moment the


    my life. Heavenly Sword King saved me, I secretly vowed to follow him for the rest of Unfortunately, my


    abilities were not up to par, and unlike those swordsmanship prodigies, I couldn’t apany the


    Heavenly Sword King on his journey through Mount Jacaster.”


    The initial Sword King Sect was incredibly powerful, a ce that nearly all sword cultivators from Mount


    Kushburn aspired to be, hoping to receive guidance from the Heavenly Sword King.


    However, during the peak of the Sword King Sect, the Heavenly Sword King made a monumental


    decision. He ventured into Mount Jacaster and entered an even more brutalnd of cultivation.


    At the same time, the Heavenly Sword King also took with him a group of swordsmanship prodigies.


    Even though Ruben was currently head of the Soul Sword Sect, he was still a nobody back in the


    heyday of the Sword King Sect when geniuses were aplenty. Naturally, he didn’t have the qualifications


    to follow the Sky Emperor into Mount Jacaster.


    “I don’t me the Heavenly Sword King, I only me myself for not being stronger. I understand that


    with my skills at that time, even if I had entered Mount Jacaster, I would


    1/3


    have been expendable.” Ruben sighed.


    Emrys agreed. “The Heavenly Sword King was indeed impressive. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t


    have cared about having a few more expendable men by their side.”


    “Therefore, I am deeply grateful to the Heavenly Sword King. Ever since Mount Jacaster closed, I


    devoted myself to staying within the Sword King Sect, practicing relentlessly. Eventually, I began to see


    some progress. Perhaps to those prodigies who followed the Sword King, this achievement might seem


    insignificant. But among those who remained, this is more than enough to secure me a ce of my


    own.”


    “I knew stepping into the realm of Mount Jacaster was hopeless, so I vowed to protect the Sword King


    Sect and to guard the legacy of the Heavenly Sword King during my lifetime. Regrettably, the Sword


    King Sectter disintegrated. I was powerless to stop it, and could only take charge of a single sect.”


    Ruben sighed.


    Emrys finally understood why Ruben had treated him in such a way. He was unable to repay the


    Heavenly Sword King’s kindness, so he had no choice but to bestow this sentiment upon Emrys, the


    heir.


    He was indeed a person who believed in repaying kindness.


    Emrys’s impression of Ruben had drastically changed.


    “I had always been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Sword King’s heir, but s…


    Suddenly, Ruben’s words came to a halt. He looked at Emrys and let out a bitterugh, as if he found it


    difficult to continue what he was about to say.


    He didn’t want to hurt Emrys with his words.


    Emrys, however, seemedpletely unfazed as he said, “It’s a pity that as the heir to the Sword King,


    I’m merely in the Energy Cultivation Stage. In Mount Kushburn, I’m regarded as nothing more than a


    useless entity. You must have been very disappointed, aren’t you?”


    “Let’s not put it that way. Since the Sword King chose you, there must be something unique about you.”


    Ruben spoke with aplex expression.


    He had repeated these words many times over, unsure whether he was trying tofort Emrys, or


    merely consoling himself.


    2/3


    Emrys lowered his gaze and stared at the two sword techniques in his hands, falling deep into


    contemtion.


    A momentter, Emrys spoke up. “Mr. Ruben, take this Soul Sword Technique back, I have no use for


    it. Also, could you help me find a quiet ce to practice my swordsmanship? I need to retreat for a few


    days.”
