The Advice-Listening Sword Cultivator

[Fellow Daoists, how can I reach the ultimate realm of the sword?]

Chen Qingshan lived in a cultivation world with advanced technology. He was a low-level but somewhat talented sword cultivator.

He had no power or influence, no sect, and no teacher to guide him. He could only explore the path of the sword on his own, stuck at the same level of cultivation for two and a half years.

One day, on a whim, Chen Qingshan decided to go online and ask for cultivation advice. Little did he know that the sharp-tongued netizens of this generation would nearly infuriate him to death.

“Seriously, sir? You’re only at the ninth level of Qi Refining and you want to comprehend the ultimate realm of the sword? Have you even built your Foundation Establishment platform before you start dreaming?”

“I don’t even know what to say. These days, people will dream up anything.”

“The ultimate realm of the sword is when a thousand swords become one. To achieve it, you first need to reach the realm of the Sword Immortal, capable of controlling a thousand swords. So, mighty cultivator, can you even control a single flying sword properly?”

Faced with a flood of sarcastic comments, Chen Qingshan could only smile wryly. Different worlds, same netizens. He was so disheartened that he wanted to leave, but then, amid the countless taunts, he spotted one thoughtful reply:

“Fellow Daoist, you could start by trying to swing your sword a thousand times a day. A strong connection with your sword is crucial to becoming a Sword Immortal. I recommend buying a sentient flying sword and keeping it with you while you eat and sleep, so you can build a bond with it. A low cultivation level isn’t a problem. As long as your connection with the sword is strong, the day you break through, a thousand swords will surely ring out in unison!”

Chen Qingshan followed the advice from this netizen and began practicing. To his surprise, he actually made some progress...
