    The moment I left the Heavenly Demon Hall, it was as if I had broken free from the shadows that had bound me for so long, and in my heart there was both the relief of liberation and the apprehension of the unknown challenges ahead. The Northern Heavenly Sword Sect, a place that I had longed for countless times in my heart, was now finally close at hand, and the goal in my heart was even clearer – to ask the One Flower Sword Venerable for advice, and to unravel the mystery of the Nine Flame Demon Technique.</p>

    The scenery along the way was rapidly regressing, but my thoughts were raging like a tidal wave. The Nine Flames Demonic Technique, the technique that was regarded as the supreme mastery of the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect, was powerful enough to shake mountains and rivers, but it was also accompanied by endless dangers. I know that the path of cultivation will not be smooth, but the persistence and conviction in my heart makes me willing to endure all trials and tribulations.</p>

    It was already dusk when they arrived at the Northern Heavenly Sword Sect. The setting sun’s afterglow sprinkled above the exquisite courtyard, adding a bit more mystery and solemnity to this place that was already full of spiritual energy. I took a deep breath and adjusted myself as I slowly walked towards the familiar wooden house that had now transformed into an elegant courtyard.</p>

    "One Flower Sword Venerable, an old friend is visiting." I stood at the entrance to the courtyard and called out softly, with both anticipation and nervousness in my heart.</p>

    A few moments later, a woman wearing a green shirt and holding a long sword walked out from the house, and it was none other than the One Flower Sword Honored One who hadn’t been seen for many years. Her appearance was still the same as before, only that there were a few more points of calmness and composure between her brows. When she saw me, a warm smile appeared on her face, as if we had never been separated.</p>

    "The Young Sect Master’s great presence has truly made this small courtyard shine." One Flower Sword Venerable’s voice was gentle and melodious, yet it did not lose the valiant posture of a swordsman.</p>

    "Swordfather is polite, between you and me, there is no need to be polite." I responded with a smile, that long-lost feeling of cordiality in my heart coming to life.</p>

    As we strolled through the courtyard, we chatted about our experiences and changes over the years. I told her about all the encounters and challenges I’ve had since I left the Heavenly Demon Hall, as well as my persistent pursuit of the Nine Flames Demonic Technique. She, on the other hand, listened quietly, occasionally nodding or smiling, giving me encouragement and support.</p>

    When the topic finally turned to the bottleneck of cultivating the Nine Flame Demon Technique, One Flower Sword Venerable’s expression became serious. "The Nine Flames Demonic Technique is, indeed, an extremely profound technique, but its path of cultivation is also extremely treacherous. Since you have chosen this path, you must be mentally prepared to face all possible challenges and difficulties." She said in a serious tone.</p>

    I nodded, indicating that I was ready. "Don’t worry, Sword Elder, since I chose to cultivate the Nine Flames Demonic Technique, I will definitely persevere to the end. It’s just that I’ve now encountered a bottleneck and am unable to fully grasp the wonders of the ‘Human Extermination Style’, so I’d like to ask Sword Exalt for guidance." I sincerely requested.</p>

    The One Flower Sword Venerable pondered for a moment before saying, "The reason why the ‘Human Destruction Style’ is difficult to master is because it is not just a form of displaying a sword stance, it is also an embodiment of the state of mind. You need to incorporate your own inner strength, will, emotions, and even soul into it in order to utilize its true power."</p>

    Her words were like a bolt of lightning cutting through the fog in my mind making me instantly understand the misconceptions in my previous cultivation. "It turns out that I’ve been focusing too much on the cultivation of sword strokes and neglecting the sharpening and control of my mind." I muttered.</p>

    "Yes." One Flower Sword Venerable continued "The path of cultivation is not only the exercise of the body but also the cultivation of the mind. Only when you are able to harness your heart will you be able to truly grasp the essence of the Nine Flames Demonic Technique."</p>

    I was deeply inspired and decided to re-cultivate the Nine Fires Demonic Technique according to the instructions of the One Flower Sword Venerable. I returned to the practice room and began the long and arduous process of cultivation. I was no longer in a hurry to accomplish anything, but rather, I quieted my mind and slowly felt the changes and integration of each state of mind.</p>
