Chapter 45 Sword Techniques Basics, Comprehending Sword Intent
Toyokawa intended to read through all the books in the library.
However, he wasn't blindly optimistic; he had his own plans and arrangements.
Based on their relative importance, different levels of weight were assigned.
As a member of the Sword Sect, one should first focus on learning swordsmanship. Then comes the Daoist scriptures, magic techniques, and finally the various arts of immortal cultivation.
If one day you spar with someone, or someone comes to you to ask you for advice on swordsmanship.
As a disciple of the Sword Sect, if one's swordsmanship is poor and appears unprofessional, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
No way! I can't afford to lose face like that!
If that were the case, it wouldn't just be a loss of face for oneself, but the entire sect could also be ridiculed.
As a disciple of the Sword Sect, one may not use swordsmanship, but one cannot be ignorant of it!
Not only must you know it, you must be an expert! Ideally, you should be extraordinary and reach the pinnacle!
Upon arriving at the swordplay section, Toyokawa didn't pick and choose, and read through the books one by one.
His spiritual awareness is now better than his eyesight; he can see a wider range and remember things faster.
Then, his spiritual consciousness spread out, covering a three-foot radius around him.
Lay many books out around the cushion at once.
The mind is responsible for scanning, while the hands are responsible for turning the pages.
One page, two pages, three pages.
One book, two books, three books.
When his spiritual senses became tired, he withdrew them and used his eyes to read instead.
One day, two days, three days, without stopping, without getting tired.
Half a month later, he had finished reading all the mortal-level sword techniques.
The so-called mortal-level sword techniques correspond to the sword techniques practiced during the Body Tempering stage.
These sword techniques are mostly similar to those of ordinary martial artists, except that they incorporate some techniques for utilizing spiritual energy.
During body tempering, spiritual energy is stored directly within the physical body and cannot be used outside the body.
In order to improve their strength, many talented people created numerous martial arts techniques.
These techniques can mobilize the spiritual energy within the physical body through special means, either by attaching it to the surface of the body or the surface of a weapon.
Don't underestimate its power just because it only attaches to a small part of something; it's quite formidable.
If a mortal martial artist is struck by spiritual energy, they will either lose an arm or a leg at best, or be shattered to pieces at worst.
After reading the mortal-level sword techniques, Toyokawa's understanding of swordsmanship deepened.
Although it is only useful in the Body Tempering Realm, many of the concepts and techniques are universal.
Toyokawa was greatly inspired by this, which also helped him to understand the Two Elements Sword Technique more profoundly.
Without pausing, he began to peruse the Yellow-Rank Sword Techniques again.
In the world of cultivation, cultivation techniques are generally divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Yellow Rank is the lowest, Heaven Rank is the highest.
Of course, such techniques are sometimes heard of above the Heavenly Rank. However, most of these techniques exist only in legends. Ordinary people would never see one in their entire lives.
Moreover, even setting aside those legendary cultivation techniques, just the Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques alone, each one that appears in the world, can cause chaos and unrest in a region.
Historical records contain numerous accounts of how the appearance of Heavenly Rank martial arts techniques caused bloodshed and chaos in the martial arts world.
Yellow-rank cultivation techniques have already reached a certain grade, and generally require a cultivation level of Spirit Gathering Realm or above to cultivate.
Compared to ordinary-level cultivation techniques, yellow-level cultivation techniques have begun to become somewhat unpredictable and unpredictable.
Nevertheless, Toyokawa effortlessly grasped and fully understood it.
As he read through one Yellow-Rank Sword Technique after another, his understanding of swordsmanship became more and more comprehensive and sophisticated.
Every now and then, he began to see flashes of sword shadows.
He seemed to be able to sense the sword, but it was not quite there; he always felt there was something between them, something he wanted to grasp but couldn't.
Toyokawa knew that he hadn't accumulated enough experience and needed to continue.
So he calmed down and, regardless of the changing circumstances in the outside world, treated himself as an ordinary student.
They yearn for knowledge, for reason, for everything in books.
One day, his four flying swords suddenly flew out of his storage bag on their own and danced around him.
They are exceptionally well-behaved, not disturbing their surroundings in the slightest, and not damaging any items.
They circled around him, swirling and dancing, getting faster and denser, until they finally formed a sword pupa like a silkworm cocoon.
Toyokawa was shrouded in the sword cocoon, but he was completely unaware of it.
He felt as if he had pierced through something, and his thoughts became much clearer in an instant.
He felt like a sword that could destroy everything.
He is sharp; as long as it is within one's comprehension, no matter how hard it is, he can cut it down with a single thought.
He is swift; as long as it is within his senses, no matter how far, he can reach it in a single thought.
One sword can cleave mountains, one sword can split the sea!
One sword can destroy the earth, one sword can turn the world upside down!
He is the sword, the master of protection, bringing peace and tranquility to the heart.
He is the sword, the master of killing, inspiring fear in all who hear of him.
He is the master of swords, the supreme ruler of swords!
Just then, a dazzling sword light shot into the sky from the top of the library.
Its aura soared to the heavens, as if it were poised to dominate the world.
In an instant, all the flying swords of the disciples in the Qingyun Sword Sect involuntarily took flight and soared into the sky.
Then, countless flying swords all turned their tips, pointing towards the soaring sword light, trembling incessantly.
They seemed to be witnessing, witnessing the birth of their king!
They seemed to be cheering, cheering for the arrival of their king!
They seemed to be celebrating, celebrating the arrival of their king!
The tremors of ten thousand swords gave rise to sword intent.
Who has comprehended the sword intent? How can it be so powerful?! As the sect's patriarch, Baili Xingyun was naturally the first to sense it.
In a flash, he arrived at the library.
His divine sense opened instantly, and he immediately discovered that Toyokawa was in a state of enlightenment.
Immediately, he dared not delay and his divine sense enveloped the area once more.
Aside from the area where Toyokawa was located, the entire surrounding area for thousands of miles was shrouded in immense pressure.
The elder of the library was already trembling with excitement. But the sudden pressure of divine sense was like a bucket of cold water, dousing him from head to toe, chilling him to the bone.
He quickly withdrew all his spiritual power and divine sense, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing Fengchuan in the slightest.
Meanwhile, many people were rushing in this direction, including elders and disciples, all of whom were very curious.
Suddenly, a voice rang in their minds.
"Everyone, listen up! Stop where you are and do not approach. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"
No one knew who was giving the orders, but such pressure and blatant disregard for authority undoubtedly came from a high-ranking member of the sect.
So everyone who was on their way stopped and stood there watching.
Before long, Sect Master Bai Linglong arrived from the main hall of Qingyun Peak.
She sensed that someone had comprehended the sword intent, so she immediately put aside her sect affairs and rushed over.
However, she did not possess the same profound level of cultivation as the ancestor, so she arrived a little late.
He approached the ancestor and bowed respectfully.
"Linglong greets the Ancestor!" Bai Linglong said.
"Hmm, Linglong is here! Hahaha, little girl, you've taken on a fine apprentice!"
"He has already grasped the essence of swordsmanship before even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage; his future path to the Great Dao is promising!" Ancestor Xingyun exclaimed.
"Hehe, Ancestor... Hmm? Ancestor, you said the person inside who comprehended sword intent is Toyokawa?"
Bai Linglong did not rashly use her divine sense to sense the surroundings, after all, the pressure of the ancestor's divine sense was everywhere.
Using her divine sense was not only impolite, but she probably wouldn't be able to see anything anyway.
I initially thought it was some elder who had comprehended the sword intent, but it turned out to be Toyokawa.
So I didn't react for a moment and lost my composure a bit.
"Yes, it really is him. He's truly remarkable!" The ancestor confirmed again and exclaimed once more.
Upon receiving confirmation, Bai Linglong was caught off guard.
No? Just a few days ago, or even just a few days ago, he had just caught the attention of the library elder.
Elder Cheng even tried to steal her disciple, but fortunately she preemptively expressed her willingness to take on a disciple, thus silencing Elder Cheng.
And yet you, in less than a month, have already grasped the essence of swordsmanship?
Elder Cheng, who valued you because of your exceptional comprehension and wanted to take you as his disciple, must be filled with deep regret now!
I'm afraid they've already started thinking about fighting me to the death, haven't they?
However, she felt proud that her disciple had grasped the essence of swordsmanship so early.
Standing with Ancestor Xingyun, they waited quietly.
An hour later, the soaring sword light began to slowly recede.
It gradually shrank, eventually becoming a transparent sword shadow about a foot long.
Just when everyone thought it was all over, the flying swords trembled even more violently.
Then, they began to circle in one direction.
As they slowly spiraled, the transparent sword shadows began to grow larger.
Two feet, three feet, seven feet...
The speed at which the flying swords swirled in the sky increased as the transparent sword shadows grew larger.
Slowly, a storm of flying swords formed, like a raging tornado, threatening to sweep across the world.
Meanwhile, the transparent sword shadow at the center of the storm began to expand rapidly.
One zhang, three zhang, ten zhang, thirty zhang, one hundred zhang, one thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang.
Finally, when the transparent sword shadow reached 108,000 feet, it stopped growing.
Even the venerable Qingyun Patriarch, with his Hundred Miles of Clouds, was terrified upon seeing this.
Holy crap, what kind of sword intent has he grasped? How can it be so exaggerated?
Is there anyone in the whole world who hasn't seen this yet? Oh no, oh no, this kid probably can't hide anymore!
Just as Ancestor Xingyun was still worried, the entire vast, transparent sword shadow, with a crash, transformed into specks of spiritual light and disappeared like a shattered vase.
However, no one noticed that when the giant sword shattered, a beam of light flashed and entered Toyokawa's brow.
Toyokawa then woke up.
"Huh? What happened? Did you fail to comprehend it?" Bai Linglong and Ancestor Xingyun both looked puzzled.
At this moment, the soaring flying sword tornado seemed to suddenly lose its power and fell like a torrential rain.
With so many flying swords crashing down at once, many of the menial disciples will likely suffer unjust calamities.
So, Ancestor Xingyun swept his divine sense around and threw all the flying swords into the outer gate square.
It's easy to imagine that another massive sword-recognition competition is about to begin.
Ancestor Xingyun ignored all of this and entered the library with Bai Linglong, arriving next to Fengchuan.
"Disciple, how are you feeling?" Bai Linglong asked.
Disciple? Elder Cheng from the library, who had just followed, stood there stunned upon hearing Bai Linglong's words.
No, Sect Master, didn't you say you would only accept disciples after Fengchuan reached the Foundation Establishment stage?
How could you suddenly change your mind and accept it without anyone noticing!
Ah, no wonder you're called the sect leader! You're so decisive in your actions!
No wonder I can't find any disciples; I'm too indecisive!
But it was too late to regret it now. He could only stand aside with mixed feelings, watching his good disciple slip away, and secretly grieving.
"Reporting to Master, I didn't feel anything! I just felt like I had grasped some of the mysteries of swordsmanship."
Then it was like having a dream, in which I transformed into a colossal, towering sword.
Then I suddenly felt it was too ostentatious, and I was startled awake! "Toyokawa replied.
Holy crap! The three of them were internally screaming with rage!
Suddenly I didn't want to talk to Toyokawa anymore.
