Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 50: Using the Sword to Maintain the Sword
After spending so much time with Qu Feiyan, Shen Qingshan could still tell when Qu Feiyan was joking and when she was serious.

In addition, everyone in the Shen family knew that Qu Feiyan’s grandfather Qu Yang was good at music.

Qu Feiyan has been with Qu Yang since she was a child, and has been influenced by him. Her attainments in music are not comparable to Shen Qingshan's.

Shen Qingshan couldn't help but look at Shen Pingan in the courtyard in astonishment, and exclaimed in amazement: "The sword shadow condensed with sword intent and true energy can actually play piano music. What kind of martial arts has my cousin researched?"

Qu Feiyan didn't answer, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't know either. She could only stick close to the wall and continue watching.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching the highest level of mastery through the "Broken Body Formless Sword Sound."]

It was also after this system prompt message popped up that Shen Ping'an's consciousness also exited from the vast white mist clouds.

When all the sword intent and true energy in his body were absorbed into his body, the nine sword shadows surrounding Shen Ping'an also melted away as quickly as spring snow.

His eyes slowly opened, and a smile appeared on Shen Ping'an's lips.

It was only after seeing Shen Ping'an finish his training that Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan, who were hiding outside the yard, returned to the yard with peace of mind.

His gaze swept over the stones on the ground that had been cut into pieces. Qu Feiyan sighed inwardly, then asked, "Young Master, what martial arts were you practicing just now? Why did the sound you made resemble the tune of Guangling San?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Shen Pingan said, "This is the 'Body-Breaking Formless Sword Sound', a type of sound-based martial arts that has just been researched."

"'Body-Breaking Formless Sword Sound'? Why does it sound so similar to the names of the 'Innate Formless Divine Art' and 'Innate Formless Finger Sword' that you taught us, young master? Are they also complementary martial arts?"

Shen Pingan responded: "I guess so! This "Body-Breaking Formless Sword Sound" is the same as the two martial arts you are practicing now. It is colorless and formless, and changes constantly."

Shen Qingshan asked curiously, "Can we practice cultivation?"

Shen Pingan nodded and said, "I created this martial art based on the mental method of the 'Innate Formless Finger Sword'."

"You need to use the sword intention as the harp, the true qi as the strings, and the sword energy as the fingers to urge it. When the mind moves, the music moves."

"But those who have mastered the sword intent can also simply use the true qi and the sword-shaped true qi cultivated from the 'Innate Formless Finger Sword' to activate it."

"It's just that the power will be greatly reduced, but even so, it can still perform at the level of a lower-grade Earth Rank."

"But the advantage is that the training is not that difficult. As long as you can condense the special sword energy by the first level of the 'Innate Formless Finger Sword', and then learn the rhythm, you can easily get started."

Shen Qingshan said excitedly: "The level of the lower earth rank is good enough!"

Taking in Shen Qingshan's expression, Shen Ping'an chuckled in his heart.

In fact, Shen Ping'an also learned about the progress of the Shen family's cultivation from Shen Qingshan.

To be honest, given the qualifications of other members of the Shen family, it is indeed too difficult to practice heavenly-level martial arts.

Several days have passed, and up to now, there is not even one person in the Shen family who has mastered the first level of "Innate Formless Finger Sword".

You know, if you work hard for a long time without any results, it will inevitably make people develop a negative mentality.

The time is still short, and the other tribesmen are still immersed in the freshness brought by the new martial arts and do not have too much burden.

With all this popularity and Shen Ping'an's guidance, it wasn't a problem for the Shen family to successfully cultivate the first level of "Innate Formless Finger Sword". However, the subsequent cultivation of "Innate Formless Finger Sword" was more difficult.

As time goes by, after a few months, as the enthusiasm of the clan members fades away and as everyone's progress stagnates, the mentality of those members of the Shen family will definitely have problems.

But with this "Body-Breaking Formless Sword Sound", things are different.

As long as the members of the Shen family can master the first level of the "Innate Formless Sword Finger", condense a special sword energy in their bodies, and learn some piano music theory, they can quickly practice the "Body-Breaking Formless Sword Sound".

Even if one's cultivation has not reached the innate realm, one can still use the zither as a weapon to achieve the effect of sword sound leaving the body.

Although it is less convenient and its power is greatly reduced, it is much more suitable for the current members of the Shen family than sticking to the heavenly martial arts such as the "Innate Formless Finger Sword".

From this point, we can also see the importance of talent.

It's just like when you push a person to the limit, he can do anything except math problems.

Without enough talent, even if you have heaven-level martial arts in front of you, it will be extremely difficult to achieve success in your cultivation.

After checking the progress of the two people's cultivation today and answering the problems encountered by Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan in their cultivation, Shen Ping'an stopped.

After washing up with Qu Feiyan's help, Shen Ping'an returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. The Glazed Cold Jade Bead in his system backpack instantly appeared in his hand.

In an instant, warm energy flowed into Shen Ping'an's body along with the glazed cold jade beads, warming Shen Ping'an's meridians while quickly calming his thoughts.

With his mind focused on his body, under Shen Ping'an's control, the quick sword intent in his dantian slowly flowed.

If someone could observe the situation inside Shen Ping'an's body, they would definitely find that in Shen Ping'an's middle dantian, an origin seed was condensed with the sword intent of the quick sword.

With Shen Ping'an's control, a steady stream of Heaven-Cutting Sword Intent is being continuously injected into this seed of origin.

If Shen Ping'an could point out to Zhang Sanniang the method of cultivating sword intent, why wouldn't he use it himself?
In fact, after Shen Ping'an's swordsmanship entered the third realm of swordsmanship, the realm of unity between man and sword, it would not be difficult for him to improve his swordsmanship to the fourth or even fifth level within a few days.

The reason why Shen Ping'an's quick sword sword intent is still at the second level is because Shen Ping'an is using another method to cultivate sword intent at this moment.

Use the sword to maintain the sword.

Simply put, it is to compress and condense the sword intent of the fast sword into a sword intent seed, and then use the sword intent of the sky-cutting sword as nutrients to nourish the sword intent seed.

When this sword intent seed successfully breaks out of its cocoon, the fast sword intent that was originally only at the second level will be able to immediately enter the ninth level.

However, in order to cultivate sword intent using this method of using the sword to nourish the sword, the practitioner must first have a sword intent that has reached perfection.

After all, the sword intent is mainly offensive and too sharp.

If one has not reached the state of perfection, with sharpness and restraint, the collision of the two sword intents will be like a needle against a thorn, incompatible with each other, so how can one talk about nurturing it?
According to Shen Ping'an's estimation, it would take at most half a year for the sword seed in his body to break out of its cocoon.

After a stick of incense.

As the sword intent seed in the middle dantian had reached its limit in terms of how much sword intent it could withstand, Shen Pingan stopped injecting the Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent into it and instead mobilized his true energy to circulate in his body according to the practice route of "Innate Invisible Sword Energy that Breaks the Body".
