Chapter 561 Nigel’s Gratitude
Not sure?
Faith asked, “Didn’t you notice the vital breath of a cultivator on him?”
The vital energy of a cultivator was unique, similar to fingerprints in the secular world. If Harry revealed his vital
breath, it would be easy to tell if he was John or not.
Since Violet said she wasn’t sure, it meant that she didn’t sense Harry’s vital breath when she entered Sword
Emperor Hall.
Faith thought so.
But Violet shook her head slightly and said, “I sensed his vital breath, which was in refining energy stage, different
from that of John.”
“Since his vital breath is different from John’s, Harry is not John. Why did you say you were not sure?”
Faith frowned and asked in confusion.
Violet didn’t know how to answer this question.
It was her intuition.
Although Harry’s figure, voice, and vital breath were different from John’s, Violet had a strange feeling that Harry
was John.
Harry behaved and talked like John.
When John met Violet for the first time, he was high-flown just like what he had done in Sword Emperor Hall.
That was why Violet said she was not sure.
Normally speaking, Harry couldn’t be John since he had a different vital breath.
Faith snorted softly and said, “You are just like your father, who thinks Harry is John because he can’t believe it’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcoincidental. In fact, they’re not the same person.”
“John is ruined and can only reach Foundation Establishment Stage at the most for the rest of his life. He can never
reach Gold Core Stage again. In Cloud School, he is a worthless loser.”
Faith couldn’t help criticizing John.
“If he stops dreaming and goes back to the mortal world, he will make great achievements there with his identity of
being a cultivator. If he continues to waste his time in the Alps Mountain, he will get nowhere for the rest of his life.”
Faith was disappointed in John.
In Spiritual Sword Sect, Nigel handed Johan a hand-written copy of Emperor Swordsmanship Manual.
He said, “This manual is not a secret in the three major sword sects. Before Sword Emperor Sect disintegrated, the
disciples practiced this manual. However, it’s complicated and composed of three different swordsmanships,
Spiritual Swordsmanship, Ancient Swordsmanship, and Ghost Swordsmanship.”
“Ancient Swordsmanship is also Aggressive Swordsmanship. As the name suggests, it is aggressive and ferocious.
Ghost Swordsmanship is subtle and secretive. Spiritual Swordsmanship is neither aggressive nor subtle. Instead, it’s
elegant and free”
“In fact, you can’t say they are different. After all, the three styles were all invented by Heavenly Sword Emperor.”
“However, not everyone is as good as Heavenly Sword Emperor. Few people could learn the whole manual left by
Heavenly Sword Emperor. The manual is too complicated, and one should focus on some skills instead of trying to
learn the whole system.”
“Therefore, we broke the manual down into three different smaller manuals according to their styles. This is how
Spiritual Swordsmanship Manual, Ancient Swordsmanship Manual, and Ghost Swordsmanship Manual were
created.”
Nigel’s explained it in detail, and John understood it well.
In short, Ancient Swordsmanship was aggressive and straightforward, Ghost Swordsmanship was evasive but
murderous, and Spiritual Swordsmanship was something between the other two.
John could roughly guess how Sword Emperor Sect disintegrated.
After Emperor Sword Swordsmanship Manual was broken down into three parts, the disciples of the sect were
divided into three different groups, which had different ideas and over time evolved into the current Spiritual Sword
Sect, Ancient Sword Sect, and Ghost Sword Sect.
Nigel said, “This copy is the initial version of Sword Emperor Swordsmanship, which was available in the three sects.
However, few people learn it now, and we don’t suggest our disciples learn it recklessly.”
“Since you’re the inheritor of Heavenly Sword Emperor, I think you should have a look at the initial version, which is
the handwritten copy in your hand.”
“In addition, I’ll give you a condensed copy of Spiritual Swordsmanship Manual.”
Nigel did this because he was worried that John would not be able to learn the original version of Emperor
Swordsmanship Manual, so he gave the latter the condensed version of Spiritual Swordsmanship Manual. In this
way, even if John could not learn the former, he could still practice the latter.
Nigel was very sincere.
John looked at Nigel in surprise and asked, “Mr. Odom, why do you treat me so well?”
Nigel wore a nostalgic look and said, “I used to be a wretched man. If Heavenly Sword Emperor hadn’t saved me, I
would have been killed by my enemies.”
“When Heavenly Sword Emperor saved me, I swore secretly that I would follow him for the rest of my life.
However, I don’t have a remarkable aptitude and couldn’t go to Circle Mountain with Heavenly Sword Emperor like
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthose swordsmanship geniuses.”
Sword Emperor Sect used to be powerful, and all the sword cultivators in the Alps Mountain at that time were eager
to join the sect and get advice from Heavenly Sword Emperor.
However, at the peak of Sword Emperor Sect, Heavenly Sword Emperor made a big decision to go to Circle
Mountain, which was a crueler place of cultivation.
At the same time, he took away a group of swordsmanship geniuses.
Although Nigel was now the leader of the Spiritual Sword Sect, he was outshone by the geniuses in Sword Emperor
Sect at its peak. As a result, he was not qualified to follow Heavenly Sword Emperor into Circle Mountain.
“I don’t blame Heavenly Sword Emperor. I was not good enough at that time and would be cannon fodder in Circle
Mountain.” Nigel sighed.
John agreed, “So Heavenly Sword Emperor was a good person from this point of view. If it were someone else, he
wouldn’t have minded having more cannon fodder around him.”
“That’s why I am very grateful to Heavenly Sword Emperor. After Circle Mountain was sealed, I stayed in Sword
Emperor Sect and practiced hard. Over time, I made some achievements.”
“In the eyes of those geniuses who followed Heavenly Sword Emperor, my achievements may be insignificant, but I
established myself among those who stayed behind.”
“I knew that I could never go to Circle Mountain, so I decided to protect Sword Emperor Sect and Heavenly Sword
Emperor’s inheritance for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, Sword Emperor Sect disintegrated, and there was
nothing I could do but become the leader of Spiritual Sword Sect.”
Nigel said with a mixture of feelings.
John finally knew why Nigel treated him so well. Nigel couldn’t repay Heavenly Sword Emperor’s kindness, so he
shifted his gratitude to John, who was the inheritor of Heavenly Sword Emperor.
Nigel was a grateful person.
John had a different opinion of Nigel now.
