Chapter 247: The Immortal Hero's Dream of Flying Swords A Thousand Miles Away

Mei Guyu's swordsmanship can be said to have satisfied many people's fantasies of "martial arts" in their youth. If it is further blessed with magic skills, it seems to have opened the door to "immortal heroes". If it is possible, how could He Kao not want to learn it?
He answered truthfully, but he felt conflicted as soon as he said it.

Such exquisite swordsmanship must be practiced from the basics. He started to imagine: every morning before going to work, in the public park near the apartment, among the old men and women who were exercising, Mei Guyu would teach him the essentials of swordsmanship step by step.

This scene had a strong sense of déjà vu, because he had seen it before. It was some time last year when Meng Ya was instructing Huang Xiaopang in the practice of the Body Viewing Technique to build his foundation...

But He Kao had just decided not long ago to stay away from the trouble of Mei Guyu as much as possible. How come when it was time to get off work, he inexplicably agreed to learn sword from the other party? Does this count as knowing and doing differently, and being fickle?

Mei Guyu finally revealed a faint smile, like a bud blooming slightly. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll teach you."

He Kao was about to ask her how to teach, but he opened his mouth but no words came out, because Mei Guyu sent another divine thought and heart seal, which was the inheritance of sword-wielding skills.

The art of wielding the sword is a training system that is independent of all other arts. It is a typical "art", or so-called applied art. Simply practicing it will not improve the realm of cultivation.

In contrast, each level of sword control is related to a corresponding foundation of cultivation. Only those with certain levels of cultivation can perform specific sword techniques to perfection.

Theoretically, any practitioner of any technique can try to learn sword-wielding. As for whether they can learn it and to what extent, that depends on the individual.

Why does the Danding Sect possess such a unique inheritance? The answer is that it was left by the founder.

A thousand years ago, the key figure who ended the rebellion between Yinniang and the Woodcutter, reorganized the sect, and established the Zongfa Hall was Lei Dunzi, the founder of the Danding Sect. Lei Dunzi's master was the renowned Tan Jun, also known as the Immortal Tan, who, according to sect records, had ascended to immortality.

Lei Dunzi also left behind his own sword-wielding skills as a legacy for his disciples to rely on when they traveled the world.

For low-level sorcerers, sword control is equivalent to ordinary swordsmanship, and even ordinary people can practice it. However, to achieve subtle perception, it is best to have a first-level cultivation level, and to be able to follow the movements and judgments, it is best to have a second-level cultivation level.

For example, in martial arts novels, when you want to stab a flying mosquito with a sword, you have to be able to see it and hit it.

When one's cultivation reaches the third level or above, the sword-wielding technique will have many changes, and can even be combined with various other applied techniques, such as flying swords without hands, using swords with eyes closed, and other techniques, as well as the mental method of cultivating sword intent.

After reaching the fourth stage, the term "Sword Controlling" truly lived up to its name, with sword energy crisscrossing the air when unleashed. The so-called "flying sword a thousand miles to take a head" was clearly an exaggeration, but at this stage, one already possessed a degree of legendary wonder.

As for the changes in the realm of sword control after reaching the fifth level, He Kao was still unaware of it. Because his cultivation was only at the fourth level, he was unable to decipher the relevant content in the Divine Mind Seal.

Even ordinary people can practice the art of wielding a sword, but there are very few disciples who specialize in practicing it. The reason is simply that the "cost-effectiveness" is too low and it is not worth spending so much effort.

Many people studied sword control simply to gain some understanding and use it as a reference. Among the practitioners, those who persisted in practicing sword control like Mei Guyu were rare.

The higher the level of sword-controlling skills, the harder it is to practice. Mei Guyu just told He Kao specifically that with his exquisite control of spiritual consciousness, he can practice it. The implication is that not everyone meets the requirements.

There are various practical techniques within the art school, and there's no need to focus solely on swordplay. For example, the wind blade technique practiced by high-level sorcerers is a very sharp fighting method.

Wind Blade Technique is actually very difficult to practice. You don't need to practice Sword Control Technique to master it, but with Sword Control Technique as a foundation, it only requires slight changes after reaching the fourth level.

He Kao had never practiced wind blade technique. He had only recently broken through to a high level and had spent a lot of his energy elsewhere. Moreover, even if he had mastered the wind blade technique, its power would not be as strong as that of a machine gun.

The magic weapon "Moth Wings" that Gu Chun gave him had an additional wonderful use, which was that it could trigger wind blades, but He Kao rarely used it because he didn't need to fly to shoot birds or fight drones.

As the saying goes, practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, but this set of swordsmanship is an exception. If the basic skills are not up to par, forcing yourself to practice will only hurt your body. Fortunately, He Kao already has the basic skills.

To learn this technique, one must apply to Dandingmen for approval, but He Kao does not have this problem.

Another advantage of the sword-controlling technique for He Kao is that it is a relatively independent system in itself, and when performing the sword-controlling technique, his identity as Yin Mo will not be exposed.

He Kao had never thought that Mei Guyu's so-called teaching was just a divine mind seal. He felt somewhat relieved, but at the same time, he was also inexplicably disappointed.

By the time he recovered, Mei Guyu had already disappeared, probably having returned to the apartment. He had come to pick up the car and had gone straight to the parking lot downstairs.

After closing the car door, he did not start the car immediately. He closed his eyes as if possessed by a ghost, and the next moment his consciousness left his body and floated away.

He Kao felt that the magical power contained in the Invisible Moth Technique was different from the wandering of ghost spirits described in some novels. It would not be affected in broad daylight, even in the sunlight.

He locked onto a target and found the other person as if his consciousness teleported instantly. It was one of the three thugs just now.

Originally, He Kao didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He thought memorizing their characteristics was just a casual move, but he changed his mind and started playing the tracking game.

The three thugs did not separate. They had already crawled up from the ground, crossed a side street, walked through two intersections, and came to an older residential area.

Some of the neighborhoods in the city center were built at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. They looked very upscale back then, but now they look old. However, life is still very convenient, and many people choose to rent here. Fortunately, this place is not more than 1.5 kilometers away from Zhima Apartment. He Kao followed in the sky. After all, no one could see him, just like a ghost.

The three of them entered a house on the seventh floor. One of them rubbed his stomach and said, "Brother Liang, we got 30,000 yuan each already?"

Brother Liang: "Hasn't the money been received?"

"Is it that simple? It feels like making money is faster than robbery. You won't ask for it back, will you?"

Brother Liang: "Want to take it back? There's no name on the money, so who can prove it was him who gave it? He said it clearly when he gave it to me, so he can't admit it... He doesn't admit it himself, so what else do you want?"

"Brother Liang, who is that person?"

Brother Liang rubbed his head and said, "Strange, I can't remember it! Anyway, I just got paid to work, and it's done."

"Who is that girl? Why is she so powerful?"

Brother Liang: "I don't know either. He must be a martial artist, otherwise how could he be so valuable? Someone hired us, probably just to explore the way and avoid the minefields."

"What are you doing now?"

"The money is in hand, the work is done, change clothes and go out for some fun tonight."

As they talked, He Kao was floating on the ceiling, watching them. He was more effective than any surveillance camera or police dog. These three thugs were indeed being ordered around by someone, and they had even received such a large sum of money.

This money came too easily, didn't it? But in He Kao's opinion, they might not have the chance to spend it. The three thugs packed up and prepared to leave. As soon as the door opened, they found several people standing outside.

Before they could even ask, those men came in. Before the three thugs could scream, they were covered with their mouths and subdued, and dragged into different rooms.

This clearly meant they were to interrogate him separately. The visitors were probably sent by the Shu Sect, but they hadn't noticed He Kao. He Kao was about to continue watching, but suddenly realized something was wrong and his consciousness instantly returned to his body.

Just now, someone got into He Kao's car, sat carelessly in the back seat, and no one knew how the door was opened.

He Kao was so frightened that he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He glanced at the rearview mirror and patted his chest, saying, "Why are you so elusive? It's so scary!"

The visitor was none other than the trendy veteran artist Li Xiuyuan. He crossed his legs and said, "You looked like you'd lost your soul just now. Did you go on a trip?"

He Kao: "I went to check on those three thugs and learned that someone gave them 30,000 yuan each to deliberately cause trouble for Elder Mei on the street... They were just restrained. Was this arranged by you, Elder?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Some people dare to do this, thinking that the clan law hall can't find out about them. But since they have jumped out, the clan law hall will definitely investigate. We must have this attitude. As for whether we can catch them, it depends on our magical powers."

He Kao: "Whether we can find out or not, the Zongfa Hall has seen the result today."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen it!"

What were these two people talking about? Regardless of who ordered those three people, it proved one thing: the news had leaked out, and some high-ranking members of the sect had not complied with the clan law hall's gag order.

He Kao: "The gagging order from the Zongfa Hall is a joke. This is only my first day at work!"

Li Xiuyuan: "Although she just came to work today, the clan law hall issued the gag order two months ago. If someone leaked the information, that's enough time for the news to spread."

He Kao: "You were doing street art with a beautiful woman today. Did you spot any suspicious people?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "There are many people who have been observing me, but you are the most suspicious."

He Kao: "It's hard for you to not be conspicuous in your appearance. Most of them are just ordinary passersby."

Li Xiuyuan: "Yes, that's the feeling I want to give people. Since ordinary passersby will take a second look, some people will think it's okay to do so."

He Kao: "Actually, if you want to know the results of those three thugs' attempts, there's no need to hide nearby and spy. There are surveillance cameras everywhere on the streets now, and it's hard to tell which unit installed them. We can use modern technology to observe."

Li Xiuyuan pondered, "You've been quite thoughtful! We've confirmed someone leaked the information, but perhaps it wasn't intentional. There are always people in this world who do things differently than they originally intended. This is simply because their cultivation isn't up to par, like you."

He Kao asked in surprise: "What's wrong with me?"
