Fang Xiang
Its gettting anoying when he keep on saying swordsmanship is outdated when in fact he has a sword and a sword embryo. For god's sake, be more logical how will you hunt bare handed? And I am pretty sure the author did say majority of the cultivator uses sword.
giieiim:Im confused about this one too. It says that swordscultivation is no more because it relies on spiritual force which was already extinct and the cause of all this avalon thingy. So why can he still cultivate an embryo?? Or i just cant follow the story?
I believe he means that the path of the sword has no future, since the spiritual energy has disappeared, it is not possible to advance much on this path. But as he is a 'weak' person, the beginning of the sword path helped him to survive in the desert, but he doesn't want to continue learning that because the 5 elements are stronger in the future. I think that's it.
