Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 905 - 468: Sword as My Will_2
"It’s likely an external demon, the corpse stench is heavy, devoured quite a few people, not sure what kind of water monster it is."
One challenge after another, it’s truly troublesome.
Tie Dan gestured towards Fen Yun,
"You go, entice it to the surface, and I’ll finish it off."
Fen Yun didn’t dare to refuse, nodded and agreed, then transformed into a fireball, plunging with a "hiss" into the water. Water and fire clashed, steam erupted everywhere, and bubbles burst violently, cooking the fish and shrimp throughout the river.
Just this brave enough to claim proficiency in water skills...
Meanwhile, Baqui took the opportunity to rest, burying his head in the grass by the riverbank, while Tie Dan sat atop a pile of containers, closing his eyes for meditation. Now wasn’t the time for sword casting refinement, but being idle, he recited the Ruyi Sword Scripture, repeatedly refining a breath of True Qi to its purest form.
He had only been sitting with closed eyes for a short while, but Fen Yun hadn’t lured the monster out yet, and behind him, the Demon Sect couldn’t wait any longer to attack.
They had probably been chasing Tie Dan all along, knowing that if they continued the pursuit, his cultivation and Qi power would recover, making him harder to defeat. Thus, with a great river blocking in front, and with an opportunity while one Divinity Transformation was distracted, three sword lights flew directly towards him.
Tie Dan, having been resurrected for less than seven days, had unstable blood body and Dao body, and insufficient Qi power, naturally couldn’t let them approach for a life-or-death fight. Therefore, he decided to kill them from afar.
"Whoosh——!"
The Green Robed Sword Immortal opened his eyes and mouth, and a Qi line as thin as a cow hair needle shot out, directly targeting the flying sword light in the sky. At the moment the escape figure just landed, suddenly the sharp needle pierced towards the person’s head.
"Pop"
It burst, like a grape.
"Senior Brother!" "Sword Control Technique!"
The other two were shocked! They couldn’t fathom that as soon as they landed, one of them would fall!
Tie Dan, observing their shock and grief, didn’t seem faked, suspecting that their treasure hunting team perhaps joined later. Those others chasing the back didn’t inform them of the Sword Control skill Tie Dan had previously showcased, specifically lured them to test their luck and die.
Heh, typical of the Demon Sect...
"Die!" "Kill!"
Perhaps these three had deep connections, forming a team, or they lacked the skill to execute two tunneling skills in a row and escape, or maybe they felt committed since they already came. Left and right, they launched a desperate assault on Tie Dan.
"Whoosh——"
"Pop pop"
Thus, Tie Dan’s tongue tip flicked, Qi thread swerved abruptly, suddenly veering with a sword strike each, explosively killing both in the air, their scattered remains splattered to the ground.
Baqui sighed, eating the bloody remains mixed with grass.
Hmm, the Ruyi Sword Scripture is quite powerful indeed.
Even without a flying sword, killing was effortless. This breath of True Qi could be shot within a ten-mile radius, and within visual range, he could precisely strike wherever he aimed, cutting stone and breaking jade, slicing iron like mud.
Alright, formerly Tie Dan didn’t quite understand why the Mystic Sect would create such a Sword Control Technique in the Ruyi Sword Scripture.
After all, the refined True Qi in the Sword Control skill differs from my sword, offering no help in body cultivation or cultivation breakthrough, purely meant for shooting out to strike enemies. It equates to extraneously consuming vast amounts of True Qi, achieving nothing useful. For pure combat, the Nine Luminaries Divine Sword sufficed, no need to waste a century of True Breath in painstaking cultivation of a secret sword.
Yet through this personal ordeal, experiencing the fierce battles with the Mystic Sect, Tie Dan gained insights, vaguely grasping the key aspect.
Mystic Sect people hiding their trump cards, exchanging ultimate moves was one aspect, but primarily, it was probably because they had too much Qi.
Yes, there’s too much Qi.
As everyone knows, the evolution of Taiji Realm cultivation techniques, fundamentally based on ’Qi’.
The cultivation techniques of the Three Great Sects essentially refine ’Qi’ into skin, flesh, sinews, bones, organs, essence blood, and divine soul. The Blood Jade Divine Skill, Turbo Technique, Nine Luminaries Divine Sword, My Sword practiced by Tie Dan, essentially converged myriad Qi into unity, using it to cast oneself, refining the essence, energy, and spirit to completion.
Globally, Qi Refiners absorb, refine, assimilate, extract, and annex the Qi of the Taiji World, the natural energy of heaven and earth, turning it into something uniquely theirs.
Thus, during the phase of uncompleted Divine Skill and Dao Body growth, ’Qi’ naturally was of paramount importance and never sufficient.
And with each level breakthrough, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, akin to a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly, the amount of ’Qi’ the Dao Body could accommodate, absorb, and obtain exponentially increased.
But biologically, growth isn’t limitless. Qi Refiners hit a wall at Divinity Transformation, running out of a path, well-known bottleneck.
If merely breathing broke through, just refining Qi led to ascension; everyone would stay in Spiritual Spring Qi acupoints, obviating the division between the Three Great Sects and Jiuxuan Sect.
So with Tie Dan’s continual breakthroughs following destructively lethal trials, achieving great success in Divine Skill, and Dao body rapidly growing in an astonishing manner towards fruition, he realized the conflict between ’Qi’ and ’body’ and the bottleneck in his own breathing, empathizing with Old Xuan Sect’s troubles.
Too much Qi to refine in time.
Yes, now between Tie Dan’s breathing, Qi acupoints could absorb vast amounts of Primordial Qi. Simply consuming a mouthful of Heavenly Materials Treasures led to significant explosions in cultivation over centuries, accumulating in his body in hundreds or thousands of years of Qi. Even with Tie Dan’s exceptional talent and high efficiency, limited by Dao Body, it was impossible to instantly absorb all those thousands of years of Spiritual Qi refined.
Of course, Tie Dan, with the Vengeful Dragon Seed, advantage of combat situations, had his Qi capacity far beyond a usual cultivator, and using the Blood Jade Divine Skill for instant resurrection and Dao body reconstruction consumed a large amount of True Qi. Thus, he need not worry about being exploded from too much Qi like the Old Xuan Sect.
But repairing the Dao body isn’t a day’s work; it requires meticulous refinement and synthesis. Recklessly absorbing and blood-transforming with mixed and chaotic refining of stray Spiritual Qi for Dao body reconstruction results only in idle hands crafting weak flesh falling apart with a single blow.
To forge the Nine Luminaries and refine Beichen, repeating Spiritual Qi circulation and refinement, and especially casting My Sword, more needs auxiliary consumption of materials derived from Void Heavenly Demon, an endeavor not achievable within a day.
Consequently, too much Qi clogging the meridian and Qi sea lowered the efficiency of Qi refining. However, it was hard to relinquish this rare Spiritual Qi through dispersing all cultivation, releasing entirely outward through Qi acupoints.
Thus, better to use for killing.
Yes, that’s when the Ruyi Sword Scripture comes into play.
The Sect Leaders of the Sword Sect have always been outstanding in combat power, often serving as Mystic Sect’s guardians, because even at the bottleneck of Divinity Transformation Enlightenment, they never had to worry about being forced to remain in the mountains in seclusion due to ’too much Qi’. Because they could utilize the surplus Qi directly for refining Sword Control skills, reaching further heights, and continuing to elevate their combat power.
For the most advanced Sword Control Technique taught, it’s truly a method for the late game.
Named Sword Control, but actually Qi Manipulation, it bypasses meridians and avoids storing in Qi sea, concentrating the vast True Qi and centuries of cultivation within the organs, refining, condensing to extreme, coalescing into a single breath of True Breath, ultimately reaching pinnacle heights, refining to immeasurable Ruyi True Breath. Amidst breathing, wherever the mind intends, Sword Intent reaches, moving with accords of the heart, True Breath arrives instantaneously, seemingly wielding the sword with will, using divine means to break bodies, epitomizing profound Divine Skill.
If one’s realm and cultivation hadn’t yet reached Sect Leader or Mountain Master level, without facing a ’too much Qi’ issue, nor the millennium cultivation experience, it’s naturally less relevant to cultivating such a top-notch Inner Power Secret Manual. But when you cross the threshold and witness the realm beyond, you’d realize the formidable aspect of this unique Sect Leader’s Secret Transmission, a once-in-a-lifetime unparalleled skill.
"Boom!"
"Sect Leader, save me!"
A giant Jiao, showing claws and teeth, chased the fireball, emerging from the water!
"Whoosh——!"
Tie Dan opened his mouth, and a streak of True Breath swept across, splitting the hundred-zhang long Jiao face-on, cracking its head, shattering scales and snapping spine, breaking into three parts, killed instantly.
Delicious fragrance.
