Chapter 283: The Primordial Sword Sutra
moment, Lu Jin suddenly burst into laughter and then patted Qi Tian's shoulder and said:"You kid, you really did great! If I were that old geezer, I'd have to do the same thing to them!"Onlooker Lu Ci...Upon hearing about the grand ambitions of imperial power, he immediately respectfully said, "Please instruct me, Master."
"Those who cultivate the sword dao have existed since ancient times, especially after the creation of the Jian Xiu lineage, Jian Xiu gradually became synonymous with powerful attacks."
However, those who practice the sword way are also different. Some people cultivate flying sword techniques, focusing their entire lives on a single flying sword. Taking the heads of enemies thousands of miles away is also effortless for them.
There are also sword cultivators who only cultivate their sword intent. Wielding a divine sword, they strike out with one sword, cleaving mountains and splitting seas, domineering and terrifying.
There are also sword cultivators, who cultivate a mouthful of sword energy, also known as sword origin, or even achieve human-sword unity, where they become a divine sword forged into one.
When taking action, one's energy surges throughout the body, akin to sword qi, domineering and unparalleled.
"And there are others, such as the Sword of Slaughter, the Blade of Ruthlessness, and the Sword of Compassion..."
Hearing this, Wang Quan's domineering aura subsided. After a long time, he let out a wry smile and said:
"Master, there are too many, truly too many. This disciple is at a loss as to how to choose."
Hearing this, Qi Tian suddenly burst into laughter and said:
"Haha, haha, you see, since that's the case, this old master will give you a choice. I wonder if you're willing"
At the words, Wang Quan, with his hands clasped together in respect, said, "Disciple is willing!"
Qitian said: "No matter what kind of cultivators there are in this world, whether they cultivate swordsmanship, alchemy, or any other path, in the end, they are all refining essence, qi, and spirit."
However, the way this essence and spirit are cultivated is different, and the resulting effects are also different.
The cultivation of sword qi is actually the practice of qì (energy). Cultivating the body is about refining the "jīng" aspect of qì, spirit, and god. And the cultivation of yin gods, yang gods, and primordial spirits is, in essence, the refinement of one of the Three Treasures: the "shén" treasure.
Long ago, I read a book that described a very interesting world.
In that world, there exist creatures known as the Ten Fiends. They were terrifying beings from ancient times.
Among these ten wicked beasts, there is one whose body is merely a plant. This single plant, having only appeared once, left behind a terrifying reputation and was ultimately ranked among the top ten wicked beasts.
Later generations called it the Nine-Leaved Sword Grass. This grass gave birth to a school of swordsmanship called the Grass Character Sword Manual.
I don't know the cultivation method of this technique, but its power is said to be able to cleave down stars with sword light and shatter the great cosmos with sword qi.
Of course, I've never seen it either. But what I do know is that practicing the Cao Zi Jian Jue is like forging a sword, tempering oneself into an unbreakable divine blade.
And that nine-leaf swordgrass was just like that, forging itself into a divine sword. With its leaves fluttering, sword qi slashed down upon stars, tearing apart the vast cosmos.
In the records of that world, besides this Cǎo Sword Manual, there are two other manuals. One of them is called: Pingluan Jian Jue! It is also known as Pingluan Jue.
It is rumored that this sword technique is actually a method of cultivating one's soul, forging one's own soul into a soul sword, specifically to slay the enemy's soul.
There is also a school of swordsmanship called the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique, but I'm not sure about that one.
But you see, although I haven't seen these three sword techniques before, I've managed to grasp the general idea of them. Especially at the end, someone fused these three sword techniques into one even more terrifying technique.
So, I have some speculations.
If it is said that the Grass Sword Technique cultivates the body, forging it into a divine sword, then one's whole body becomes a sword bone.
Then, the chaotic and disordered qi is refined into a god, cultivated as a primordial spirit. The primordial spirit is forged into a primordial sword of the spirit.
But the final Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique, I'm not sure about. However, for the three to merge, they must correspond with each other.
And one represents the essence of the body, and one is the spirit, so what's missing is Qi.
That Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique, is most likely a sword technique for Qi cultivators. It transforms one's own magical power into sword qi and sword essence, etc.
This should be the reason for the three things merging together.
So, as your teacher, I have studied this cultivation method and created a method for you.
Although there is only one door, this one door encompasses everything. Just how far you can push it depends entirely on your own capabilities.
After finishing his words, Qitian waved his hand, and a jade slip fell into Wang Quan's hands.
The Book of the Primordial Sword >
Qitian smiled and nodded, "Right, it's the Hun Yuan Sword Sutra. This martial art integrates the principles of essence, energy, and spirit, as unity is like the primordial source, hence the name Hun Yuan."
As for the Sword Sutra, it is what sword cultivators cultivate, so it is called the Sword Sutra.
This method, in fact, is just the same as I said before.
After forging the Hun Yuan sword body, your bones, flesh, and even hair can be transformed into an extremely hard divine sword.
This way, you'll be able to withstand what comes next.
First, there is the Hun Yuan Sword Qi. It can also be called Jian Yuan. It involves transforming your spiritual energy and magical power into Jian Yuan. This is your Hun Yuan Sword Qi.
From then on, you wouldn't even need to carry a sword anymore. With a wave of your hand, sword qi would soar through the air, tearing apart the earth and shattering space as if it were nothing.
However, to achieve this, one needs a body of hardened essence, for an ordinary flesh and blood form cannot withstand this chaotic sword energy.
Just like the Heaven and Earth Sword in your family, that sword's power was indeed formidable.
But, in the process of realization, you need to utilize your own being, communicate with the power of heaven and earth, and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the sword energy of Heaven and Earth Sword.
Only in this way can the power of this sword be fully unleashed.
But that's sword qi, your ordinary mortal bodies, how could they possibly withstand the onslaught of sword qi.
That's why it continuously depletes the body's vital energy, or life force.
Your father's sickly appearance is also due to this reason, of course, there are other reasons as well, that is, because of your Wangquan Sword Intent.
Of course, this is the same as the third point I mentioned. After achieving sword energy, the third stage of cultivation is the soul, which is to forge the soul into a primordial spirit sword.
But this process requires you to continuously use your sword intent to cultivate. In fact, sword intent is the application of your mental power.
Your father, having used the Royal Sword Intent, already had a frail body. And the Royal Sword Intent itself is incomplete and imperfect, requiring one's own spiritual power to support it.
During this process, one must also endure the power emanating from the sword intent.
Then it's as if you, a soul, are clutching a sword whose hilt is covered in hooks.
Every use, the soul will be injured, and the repair of the soul is to supplement from other parts of the soul.
In this process, a large amount of soul power was consumed.
This way, the soul power is constantly consumed, and the flesh is continuously wounded by sword energy. In the end, one becomes a person with a short lifespan.
This is the drawback of your royal swords.
However, the Mixing Yuan Sword Scripture I passed down to you is different. It first cultivates the sword body, then refines sword qi, and finally refines the divine sword of the primordial spirit.
In this process, the sword body can ensure that your body will not be injured by the cultivation of the second-stage sword energy.
And in this process, during the cultivation, it will constantly help your body and soul adapt to sword qi, even sword intent.
When you cultivate to the third stage, the Sword of the Nascent Soul, it will not cause any problems with your soul.
Finally, when the three become one, you will be the most powerful divine sword.
Even, without needing to touch weapons, even just a breath could be terrifying sword energy. With a wave of his hand, sword light tore through the sky.
"However, this cultivation technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. You will need to endure a great deal of pain. So, are you still willing to cultivate it"
