Chapter 884: Chapter 883 Qingkong System 2
Yue Duo glared at him, "I’m telling you all this to let you know the direction of Burst Sword isn’t about Sword Frequency, but Sword Transformation. You need to differentiate between primary and secondary; Sword Frequency is very useful in the Nascent Soul and below realms, but when you reach a higher level, Sword Transformation is fundamental.
But you don’t need to panic, first get familiar with the rhythm of the second Sword Transformation, and when your spiritual power improves, consider the third Sword Transformation, gradually increasing; so one of the important things in your daily training now is how to boost your spiritual power."
"For the sake of mental perseverance, I will try my best!" Hou Niao was determined.
Yue Duo swung her sword again, "Watch again."
The Flying Sword shot out suddenly, creating a strong thunder explosion sound during its flight, Yue Duo’s calm voice,
"In terms of the essence of the Flying Sword, what is the most important indicator? The most basic? It’s speed. Without speed, the Flying Sword is nothing! So in Qingkong Sword Vein, a basic requirement for a qualified Sword Cultivator, besides being able to perform Sword Light Division, there is another hard standard, Sword Energy And Thunder Sound!
Thunder Sound is not the goal, it signifies that the Flying Sword’s speed has surpassed the speed of sound, when we shout ’scoundrel, prepare to die’ at the enemy, the sword being faster than the words is our goal, we call it Sword Post Cannon, a combat method highly regarded by one of our Sword Immortal ancestors. He believed that action is more important than words, striking first for consensus, or perhaps not needing to negotiate at all?"
Hou Niao was delighted, "Sword Post Cannon? I like this."
"Faster sword speed means the opponent has less reaction time, which means greater power of the sword; below the Nascent Soul realm, this is almost our only way to improve, once at Nascent Soul, merging into the Dao Realm is another matter.
What did you see from that sword just now?"
Hou Niao was a bit unsure, "Senior Sister’s Flying Sword, it seemed like it didn’t accelerate to surpass the speed of sound after being shot out? Instead, it was already surpassing the speed of sound the moment it left the skull top?"
Yue Duo nodded, "In a real combat scenario, the distance between enemy and me doesn’t give you enough room to accelerate, and in such a short time you also need Sword Light Division, precise control of the Flying Sword, all requiring so much effort, which actually delays the battle, our method achieves this through the Twelve-story Building Pulse, but this way doesn’t suit you, so how to achieve Sword Energy And Thunder Sound, you can only find your own way."
Hou Niao felt a bit helpless, although he had acquired the complete Daoist teachings of the Qingkong Sword Vein, the differences in nurturing and launching swords were vast, like north and south mutually exclusive; it meant a lot still needed his personal exploration, he accepted more of the conceptual things, specific operations were another matter.
The Flying Sword of Qingkong Sword Vein is a Sword Ball, gifted by the sect, comprehended oneself, placed in the Sea Of Consciousness; but Quanzhen Sect does not have this benefit, the Flying Sword is self-polished and stored in the Purple Mansion, such a difference isn’t that people from Jinxiu took a wrong path, but because of the unique environment of the Jinxiu Continent.
Yue Duo watched him furrowing his brows in deep thought and sighed in her heart; she now finally understood the reason for Jinxiu Cultivation Realm’s weakness, it wasn’t a problem of Daoist teachings, nor intelligence, but the problem of acclimatization post-transplantation.
She could only help him avoid going astray on major directions during sword practice, she didn’t have a Sword Ball, and her realm had reached the Golden Core, all had formed, unable to change anymore.
Her main teaching aspect was after the Flying Sword unsheathes, how to enhance Sword Transformation? How to control and manipulate a group of swords? How to accomplish complex sword formations during Vertical Escape? How to achieve fusion in a sword group?
These aspects all have effective methods within the Xiao Mountain Sword Lineage to help the Sword Cultivators improve, far more reliable and quicker than personal exploration. Also, these are passed down verbally at Xiao Mountain, never recorded in writing, even if the secret manual is taken by others, relying solely on individual cultivation, success is impossible, composed of countless predecessors’ painstaking efforts over tens of thousands of years, you think a few decades or a hundred years you’re going to smooth it out?
Hou Niao entered the fast lane of swordsmanship, an experience he never had in his over a hundred years of cultivation, because he had a teacher now, albeit nominally, but more dedicated and strict than a real teacher.
Their belief in Yue Duo was that geniuses emerge under the rod, unhesitant in expressing her surging violent tendencies, if he didn’t perform well, without saying a word she would raise her hand to hit, or lift her foot to kick, even use the Flying Sword...
On the snowy peak, the sound of a person’s ghostly wails often rang out, but this didn’t change the fact of his torment, the louder he screamed, the harsher the punishment.
"My dear sister, are we not living anymore? There’s still a few hundred years of happy days, why so eager like rushing to reincarnation?"
"In your current state, isn’t encountering an opponent just like going to reincarnation? Rather than losing face outside, might as well resolve within our pot!"
"Senior Sister, is Qingkong Sword Vein also this way of Sword Refining? Why do I feel like I’m in a circus training monkeys? Where is the camaraderie? I don’t see it!"
"No, you do see it, just like I am, you need to adapt to this form of expression, once you get familiar, you’ll find you’ll be inseparable!"
"Yue, you’re taking private grievances public! Retaliating and abusing! If I ever have a chance to reach Xiao Mountain, I’ll definitely accuse you of abusing fellow disciples, bullying!"
"Go ahead, go ahead! Many others have accused me, one more or less doesn’t matter!"
"I’m not learning anymore, I want to go home..."
"This is your home, come, let your sister take good care of you..."
On the snowy peak, year-round Sword Qi surged, other cultivators from Shiyi Land were unwilling to pass by here, because they might get entangled by two lunatics, they didn’t kill, but they’d tire you out to exhaustion.
Trial Arena, dueling appointments, daily sword duels, this was their entire life.
No matter how excessive Yue Duo’s demands, or even if it was just to purely want to fix up this guy, amidst these awkwardness, ghostly wails, he managed to complete everything set for him, leaving her very curious about his limit?
Continuous increase, threats, intimidation, repeated over and over.
Time slowly passed in their teaching and learning, every cultivator on Hell Star realized something, desperately accumulating their strength, hoping not to be left behind in future upheavals, becoming someone else’s stepping stone.
No one counted anymore how many Upper Realm guests came to Hell Star, and couldn’t count it either, each was powerful, their Daoist traditions mysterious, far beyond the scope of the Anchor Chain Eight Main Stars.
By now, even the disputes had diminished, everyone knows the real battles shouldn’t be here, but in the magnificent world!
Building strength, laying a foundation for the future, is the wisest approach.
Mysteriously, Jinxiu became an external place, leaving the only Jinxiu native bewildered.
