Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 347 Innate Sword Seed
"You all don't need to look at me like that. I have never told anyone that I was born with extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth, and that I am a born swordsman who is born with a sword in my arms."

I haven't mentioned it before because there's no need. Just know that I possess this flawless sword heart, a gift from heaven. Please don't try to emulate my path!

Su Qing knew that Tiger Egg was no ordinary puppet.

At most, a puppet can only learn some lock-picking and stealing skills like Xiong Er, but it cannot comprehend and cultivate a third-level swordsmanship from a talisman.

But no one expected that Tiger Egg was so extraordinary, a natural-born swordsman and a sword-training prodigy!
Tiger Egg and he were of one mind and spirit. What Tiger Egg was his was his, and what was his was still his. Tiger Egg was a born swordsman, and so was he.

At this moment, the nine tails and nine swords behind him kept leaping and darting about, and the words he spoke as he looked around at the cultivators below the stage were not all nonsense.

As for Ye Suo on the other side, although he did not believe Ye Suo's strange story of being born with a sword, he could achieve the same effect as the Sword Heart Clarity without any obstruction of thought, even though he had never conceived a natal sword. This could only be because he was a sword cultivator from the Sword Force Sect!

The way of the sword is difficult to practice.

He and his fellow disciples from the Sword Hall were all geniuses who were rare, perhaps only once in a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years.

However, compared to the sword cultivators of the Sword Force School who are born with sword talent, the gap between their natural talents and those of ordinary people who practice sword control techniques is even greater than the gap between them and ordinary people who practice sword control techniques, which can only be called techniques and not worth mentioning!
However, talent cannot determine everything.

Hard work can lead to a comeback.

My sword cultivation spans hundreds of thousands of years. I have endured the hardships of the far west and tasted the winds of the void. How can you, a mere unscrupulous puppeteer, compare to me!

When Ye Suo gets serious and starts moving again, it's a completely different story from before.

With the Gale Sword in his left hand, he deeply understands the Way of Gale, and strides forward with the wind, slashing wildly. The gale is like a blade, fast and swift.

If a third-tier body cultivator has the ability to seize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, as long as they get close to a magic cultivator, they can, like a robber, drain all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the magic cultivator, so that the magic cultivator has no chance to establish a connection with heaven and earth and use their magic to retaliate.

Sword cultivators' fighting methods are even more unscrupulous, as they integrate sword intent into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Your entire body is my sword; whether you absorb it or not, you will die.

Fearing that Su Qing might not die, Ye Suo used the Gale Sword to create ten thousand swords with a single strike, the sword light splitting apart with the speed of sword energy and thunder.

The large cedar wood sword in his right hand was not idle either. Although it was not his natal sword, he could not use the sword light splitting, sword energy thunder sound and other techniques as easily as he would his arm.

The reason he cherished this sword so much and was unwilling to give it up to anyone was that the Great Chun Wood was a divine tree of the Thunder Dao, imbued with thunder, and possessed the power to generate life from thunder, endlessly.

Due to its inherent characteristics, even if it is not its natal sword, it can still generate sword light, sword energy, and thunderous sound.

A verdant sword light burst forth from the large cedar wood sword, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, filling the entire stage with spring light.

A colorless and formless swift sword light.

The gleam of the camellia sword, tinged with green light.

The focus of the sword light was Su Qing, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Fellow Daoist Su must really be foolish. In sword cultivators' battles, speed is key. Why did you just stand still and let Ye Su make the first move!"

"If one sword strike is slow, then all sword strikes will be slow. Ye Suo's Gale Sword is inherently a fast sword. With the Great Chun Wood Sword to fill in the gaps, once the sword moves are executed, they will be flawless. I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Su will have a hard time!"

"Fellow Daoist Su cannot be allowed to fall into trouble! Everyone, get ready. If Fellow Daoist Su shows any signs of weakness, we will need to draw our swords to his rescue. For the sake of the far west, Fellow Daoist Su cannot die too soon!"

The sword cultivators of the Sword Hall were all defeated by Ye Suo's sword. After so many defeats, even a blockhead could learn from their experience.

The so-called three realms of sword intent are: a clear sword mind, differentiated sword light, and thunderous sword energy.

Ye Suo achieved some success, as did Ji Yong'en and the other sword cultivators from the Sword Palace.

The difference between the two sides lies solely in their mastery of sword energy and thunderous sound.

Only when the sword light reaches its maximum speed and pierces through the air can it generate a thunderous roar.

Although the third-tier sword cultivators in the Sword Arrival Hall all emphasize the speed of sword light, they also have their own focuses in other aspects, which is the sword intent of each sword cultivator.

For example, Ji Yong's love for Ji Xi is profound, protected by sword intent. The sword light is horizontal rather than vertical. Vertical is for offense, horizontal is for defense. The sword light is as heavy as a mountain, and the horizontal sword can block attacks from earth-level Taoist techniques.

Ye Suo, however, thought differently. He believed that the current situation in the far west was because the world had never been afraid of the far west.

But his sword strike was so powerful that it terrified the cultivators of the Western Sea, so no one dared to invade the far west.

If offense is used instead of defense, then no one will dare to attack, and there will be no need to defend.

With sword intent slicing through the air, the sword moves freely without horizontal movement, focusing solely on offense and defense. Without any restraint, its speed is far superior to that of Ji Yong'en and others.

This is why, even though they are from the same school, they cannot break Ye Suo's sword techniques, while Ye Suo can break theirs.

They are all like that.

How could Su Qing possibly compete with Ye Suo in speed!
On the dueling platform, sword light converged like a galaxy, and Su Qing felt a little tremble.

If it weren't for Tiger Egg wanting to take a closer look at Ye Suo's moves.

Given his personality, he would have likely summoned a puppet and used Taoist magic long before Ye Suo drew his sword, so he wouldn't have given Ye Suo an easy opportunity to draw his sword.

Even now, he has long since stored up enough spiritual power to unleash divine helmets, soul armor, and golden stone fortresses at any time, and his substitute doll is already in place.

Although he had the idea of ​​having Ye Suo serve as Hu Dan's sparring partner to further improve Hu Dan's sword skills, his own life was of greater importance, and he could not afford to have any chance of failure.

He was thinking about saving his life, but Tiger Egg was thinking about the way of the sword.

Tiger Egg was unaware that he possessed the Flawless Sword Heart.

It only knows that practicing swordsmanship will make it stronger and help it secure its position as the number one battle puppet under its master.

The ancient sword intent within the Heavenly Sword Crossing the West Diagram helped solidify its foundation in swordsmanship.

After that, although its master purchased several Xuan-level sword techniques, it gained very little from them, far less than the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mountain Sword that it had explored and created on its own.

The way of swordsmanship that I figured out on my own is the one that suits me best.

However, the strength of one person can never match the swordsmanship that Ye Suo inherited from ancient sword cultivators, passed down through generations and accumulated by numerous sword geniuses.

Between these two sword strikes by Ye Suo.

Tiger Egg saw how it integrated its sword intent into the great power of heaven and earth, and how it used the power of heaven and earth to amplify the power of its sword light.

What is the Sword Intent School? It does not cultivate one's own sword intent, but rather takes the will of heaven and earth as one's own will. Like a Dharma cultivator, heaven and earth are the ruler, and oneself is the subject. Submitting to heaven, one is granted the power of heaven!

The splitting of sword light is merely a way to make the spiritual energy of heaven and earth mimic the movement of the sword light. It may seem that the sky is full of sword light, but in reality, it is still only the power of one sword!
The sword energy and thunderous sound were merely the spiritual energy of heaven and earth making way for it, allowing it to escape into the air without hindrance and move with the speed of lightning!

Unaware of the past, one can only respect and fear it. One can only feel that the Sword Intent Sect's ability to flourish in the far west of the Eastern Wilderness, and the emergence of powerful sword cultivators at the fourth or fifth level, must be due to its infinite mysteries.

Upon seeing this, Tiger Egg immediately realized that this was not his path! Just as his master relied entirely on the transformation of primordial energy in the path of Dharma cultivation, but diligently practiced and studied in the path of physical cultivation.

Those who practice the Dharma, who regard Heaven and Earth as their sovereign, will not gain the favor of their masters.

As a master's war puppet, Tiger Egg was unwilling to be a subject of heaven and earth!

The Sword Style School has its own unique style; why should it rely on the hand of heaven and earth?
The cultivation of Dharma and the cultivation of the body, the intent and the power of the sword, are different paths leading to different ends, similar yet entirely different!

Tiger Egg understood, but disdained to comprehend the swordsmanship of the Sword Intent School, and only strengthened his resolve to take the path he would take now and in the future.

Su Qing was delighted that it had gained enlightenment and sent it back to digest it slowly. Right now, the priority was to break through the two swords of Ye Suo.

He was determined to get this large cedar wood sword. Even if he lost this battle, he still had many options, such as capturing Ling Ying to force Ye Suo to submit, or directly sending out ten or eight puppets to infiltrate a group of sword cultivators and capture Ye Suo.

But in the end, it's not as clean and decisive as winning a fair and square sword fight in front of everyone!

The moment he had a thought, the nine tails behind him swung wildly.

The nine swords stood in a row, moving very slowly, yet seemingly freezing time and space, like divine mountains and sacred peaks moving across the sky, arriving with a majestic momentum.

No matter how fast or numerous the Gale Sword may be, the Chunmu Sword is inexhaustible.

Under this unstoppable force, Su Qing was trapped within a 30-foot radius around him, unable to advance even a fraction further.

However, after Hu Dan gained enlightenment, he further elevated the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Mountain Sword, which was already at the limit of the Earth level, to an even higher level.

The Earth-level combat skill is the prototype of the Heaven-level combat skill!

I possess the power to create my own world, and wherever my sword light reaches, I am the heavens!
At this moment, not only Ye Suo on the dueling platform trembled with fear, but also felt that the Gale Sword and the Chunmu Sword, which were originally connected with his mind, were now as if they had broken free from his control and wanted to submit to the Nine-Tailed Nine Swords. The swords dared not point at them!
Ye Suo was in despair. The cultivators who were just watching the drama unfold below the stage never expected to witness such a juicy spectacle on this dueling platform.

It gave birth to heaven and earth, and created a new world.

This is the ability of a Nascent Soul cultivator; even Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to achieve.

And even Heaven-level combat techniques possess this ability!

But no one has ever heard of a Golden Core cultivator being able to master a Heaven-level combat skill!
In particular, everyone is familiar with the few Heaven-level combat techniques in the Tianyuan Realm. But the Nine Swords on the platform, which are solid and unique and out of place with the surrounding world, are something they have never heard of before!

Original creation!

A self-created Heavenly-level combat skill!

"Although it has not yet reached the ability to cleave a world with a sword, there is no doubt that it can break through the shackles of this world. It already has the prototype of a Heaven-level combat skill. Given time, our Western Sea cultivation world may truly be able to give birth to another Heaven-level combat skill!"

"Since Penglai in the Western Sea began to promote the path of cultivation, the Heavenly-level Dao techniques have occasionally been created by powerful beings, but Heavenly-level combat skills have never been born in the past million years. I never expected that Fellow Daoist Su would have such ability!"

"A puppeteer who doesn't focus on mastering puppetry but instead cultivates swordsmanship, and might even create a Heaven-level combat technique—I really can't understand this world anymore!"

"We strongly demand that Su's Puppet Shop withdraw from the Sword Master Puppet. What, are you trying to fool us with Array Master Puppet or Puppet Master Puppet? Su Qing's swordsmanship is so high, we refuse to believe that he can't create a Sword Master Puppet!"

Heavenly-level combat skills are of great significance.

Even at the height of the Tianyuan Dynasty, only the royal family and a few border guards were able to cultivate. When the dynasty collapsed, they used the Heaven-level combat skills as their inheritance. Several royal families, such as the Pingxi Royal Family, were able to continue to this day and have the qualifications to compete for the Central Plains and establish a new emperor!

Such a momentous event, comparable to the birth of a Nascent Soul cultivator, appeared before them.

How could they not be shocked and speechless, unsure of how to react?

Only Hu Gua, a professional gossipmonger and an expert on the front lines of intelligence, was the first to react.

He casually tossed the melon in his hand onto the ground, took out a disc-shaped magical artifact, and eagerly wanted to divide the melon in his heart into hundreds and thousands of pieces of information and scatter them to various martial kingdoms in the Central Plains, the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Frontier, the Northern Border, and the Western Sea.

"We've struck it rich this time!" Hu Gua tapped his hands on the array plate, creating illusions as he compiled intelligence headlines.

[Breaking News! A Mysterious Swordsman from the Western Sea Unleashes a Blade of Light That Chills the Heavenly Origin Realm!]

[Born with a natural sword talent, creating his own Heavenly-level sword techniques, the extraordinary and unpredictable life of puppeteer Su Qing!]

[Nine tails and nine swords, their power as vast as mountains and seas; I challenge you, whose sword surpasses the heavens!]

[No more pretense! The puppet was just a disguise he used to infiltrate the cultivation world; the sword is his true passion!]

Hu Gua, who makes a living by selling information, has a formation plate called "Myriad Shadows Remaining Light". The messages distributed within it can be displayed anywhere the Myriad Shadows Remaining Light formation is set up.

At this moment, with his full power, from the west of Wanghai, the three thousand islands of the Western Sea, the guests of Penglai in the heavens, from the east of Wanghai, the great and small evils of the Evil Kingdom, the demon cultivators of the Demon Kingdom, the Azure Lion and Fire Phoenix of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the kings and soldiers of the various martial kingdoms of the Central Plains, and even the sword cultivators and demons of the Eastern Wilderness, all heard the news that a prototype of a Heaven-level combat skill related to swordsmanship had been born in the Western Sea!
Each message costs ten spirit stones. Around a single piece of information, embellishments are added, resulting in dozens of additional messages, which are then sold countless times.

What a huge profit!

"We've lost a fortune!"

Below the dueling platform, Hei Qingtian slapped his thigh, filled with deep regret.

They thought the four stone carvings of the mythical beast Xie Zhi would protect the altar from destruction, which is why they invited Su Qing and Ye Suo to the Hall of Law Enforcement to fight.

Who knew that Su Qing would actually have a huge bowel movement!
The moment the nine tails and nine swords swept across, the four Xie Zhi statues on the dueling platform crumbled into dust.

The uncontrollable spiritual pressure and sword aura rose up in a cacophony, causing the heavens and earth to change color. Inside the Enforcement Hall, buildings collapsed, walls crumbled, and all the vegetation withered.

Many cultivators who came to watch the spectacle and got close enough, but whose strength was lacking, were so intimidated by the sword that they bled from their mouths and noses and suffered damage to their souls.

These people got into trouble on his Enforcement Hall's territory. How could he, who appeared righteous on the surface, ignore it?

It's unknown how many spirit stones he'll have to spend to make up for the direct and indirect losses.

But what I feel most heartbroken about is the loss of the four Xie Zhi statues!

"I wonder if Su Qing will compensate us. After he deals with Ye Suo, you can ask him!"

Bai Wuchang frowned and smiled bitterly, while Hei Qingtian glared angrily:

"We couldn't afford to offend this guy before he even showed his swordsmanship skills. Now look at Ye Suo's miserable state, do you dare to ask him for compensation?"

Hei Qingtian, who swallowed his pride and suffered in silence, felt sorry for the Xie Zhi statue.

Ling Ying, however, had no time to feel sorry for Ye Suo, the sycophant. Her eyes were narrowed as if she were a fox, and she was staring intently at Su Qing. She felt that if she could win him over and get his help, she might have the resources to conquer Langya Immortal Island!
"I didn't know he had such abilities before, and my attempts to befriend him were too subtle..."

Ling Ying bit her red lips, making a decision in her heart that would be a hundred times more painful than being suppressed by the sword's power if Ye Suo knew about it!
