The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 158: The various ways of cultivation, but only one leads to tofu

[NOT EDITED]

Of course, Tai-Yang can only feel sorry for Jong Kun for a few minutes until the moment he picked up the Cross Sword Manual.

It must be said that studies of cultivation have been improving more and more, sword techniques are increasingly formidable and adaptable to most swords.

Unlike what a few fools proclaim about Ancient Times, cultivators today are getting smarter and their studies are getting more advanced. After all, advanced studies were required to be given the scarcity of resources for martial cultivation and the gradual decrease in of the Qi of heaven and earth in the environment.

Of course, if combined with cultivation studies, there were a higher number of resources, a cultivator reaching the level of Emperor Realms would not be a dream or a miracle.

The Transverse Sword technique is one of the results of numerous studies and reviews over the years. This is one of the techniques that works with any sword category and can serve as a basis for studying other weapons.

So, when Zemin Yan looked at the technique and the images that were shown, his eyes shone brightly, and he quickly memorized everything. After all, he practiced a cultivation technique left on his mother's ring, the Scholar's Cultivation Technique.

In the world of cultivation, there are three ways to reach the top, the first is the cultivation that uses MANA, to season the meridians and form the Dantin, which is a container of different shapes and that lies between the stomach and the liver. After the formation of Dantin, the martial cultivator transforms MANA into Qi and when he moves to Aurore Core cultivation, Qi undergoes a transformation and is purified to Celestial Qi. (See the auxiliary volume).

MANA ]]] Meridians ]]]] Dantin ]]] Qi + Aurore Core Realms = Celestial Qi. 

The first form is used by Great Sects in general, as sects dictate what is the best cultivation technique, so most cultivators use the first way to cultivate.

The second way to cultivate is to cultivate the body, using Yin and Yang energy to forge a stronger body. Starting with the skin, then muscles, blood, nervous system (to overcome pain), organs, and bones. After having the whole body tempered, cultivation begins to transform the yin or yang energy into Qi and then go through the same process from Qi to Celestial Qi. (See the auxiliary volume).

Yin energy ]]]] tempering the body ]]] Dantin formation ]]]] Yin energy conversion ]]]] Qi + Rising Soul Realms = Celestial Qi. (The same thing happens with Yang energy).

The second form takes a lot more work and demands a lot from the body, but there are two major sects that use this form of cultivation. The Great Lotus Sect and the Great Yang Sect.

The third form of cultivation is used by the Great Sect Arcane Mage, which is the spiritual technique that first forges the power of the soul and then concentrates on the body. This was very convenient for Wizards and Priests, but it was quite complicated for Knights and Fighters. Fortunately, alchemy helped to raise the physical power of these classes while they trained their spiritual powers.

However, this made them physically weaker than those who practiced the first and second way. This is why they say that the Celestial Sword Sect has the best warriors, but they are weak in attacks with the elements, whereas the Arcane Sect is strong in attacks with the elements, but their warriors were a joke in the cultivation world.

The Song Family is a family of cultivators of the first form and yet, they had strong souls and had control over the sacred energy and the various elements, all of which made this family one of the most powerful and outstanding, but they were a special existence already that it is considered very difficult for a cultivator to be able to reconcile the two forms of cultivation without the support of alchemy for both the body and the soul. The members of the Song Family didn't build their bases with alchemy, which made them monstrous to other martial cultivators.

The fourth form of cultivation that is considered perfect is the Scholar Cultivation Technique, as it encompasses the growth of the three previous forms, soul, Qi, and body.

Cultivators of the Scholar Technique can absorb any knowledge and make it their property in no time. One of the benefits of this technique is the illusory training in which the martial cultivator can test the techniques in his mind and visualize them perfectly as if he were training in the real world.

The legends say that if you reach the peak of the Scholar's path it is possible to create a dimension and access it with thought. Of course, no one knew if the legend could be true, as the few records of the Martial Cultivators Emperors Realms reporting on their separate dimensions.

There are many legends of great martial cultivators before the Dark Ages who could enter their separate dimensions for cultivating and planting precious herbs, a dimension rich in Celestial Qi that was renewable.

Of course, Zemin Yan could only use the blessing of illusory training, he was a long way from reaching the peak of the Scholar's Path. However, this blessing gave a huge advantage against other cultivators, even the Immortal Realms would be envious of this technique.

So, Zemin Yan quickly sat up and closed his eyes holding the wooden sword in his lap.

Zhong Liang stood by little Yan along with Sying, Wu (little black tiger), and the rainbow Koi. However, Zhong Liang was soon approached by Jong Kun.

"Mister guard, I ask you to wait outside the barracks. Your presence can cause future damage in the challenge. If they get a good placement, the disciples can claim that you were helping them in hiding" Jong Kun said very seriously and politely.

Jong Kun might have been the first and great sect on the human continent, but the guard was at least Rising Soul Realms. The guard deserved respect, after all, Jong Kun was only at the level of the Realms Foundation, despite being a great sect. Even so, he was humble and kind, either because of his calmer nature or because of the respect that the strong inspire in the weak.

Zhong Liang doesn't say anything, and he doesn't move. Jong Kun started to sweat cold, as he couldn't force the guard to leave with his little power. Unless he is going to speak to some senior disciple, but that would draw a lot of attention to his group.

His group already seemed too bright because of the various incidents; he didn't want any more unnecessary attention. He was really a senior worried about his juniors, he well knew how problematic it was to draw too much attention when there was no support within the sect.

"On here. Use this" Zhong Liang said, throwing three small balls the size of a baby's fist. He had taken it out of his space ring at some point, but Jong Kun was so concerned with how to get Guard Zhong out that he didn't see the other man's action.

"This is a recording sphere!" Jong Kun said with surprise when he took the three spheres that were a milky white color of jade.

"Position it somewhere. If anyone is going to complain ... " Zhong Liang, who kept his words as if they were gold all year, so he didn't finish the sentence and let Jong Kun think in the end.

However, Jong Kun didn't understand why using items so precious just to be able to stay in the dormitory as a nanny for novice disciples.

Of course, Zhong Liang's thinking was simple: "Now that I have found little Yan, I will not take my eyes off him." It's a good thing Jong Kun didn't know that otherwise, he would have to report this suspicious conduct to those responsible for the test.

Now going back to Tai-Yang who faced the manual with the first phase of the Transverse Sword technique as if that were a big challenge. In comparison, everyone else looked at the small book with determination and soon many began to swing the sword to imitate and learn.

Even Xiong Jia seemed to be understanding something by looking at the images in the Transverse Sword manual, which was a shame for a great wizard like Tai-Yang, who is in the martial cultivation of True Deity Realms.

Shou Zuo looked at the simple technique for a few minutes, then he was holding the wooden sword and imitating the images in the manual. For him, who had an old soul, this type of technique was no big deal. Since his identity is that of a wealthy person it makes no difference if he shows any skill.

Shou Zuo and Yi Yuga were training physically after a brief look at the manual, of course, Shou Zuo showed above-average skill while wielding the sword. Yi Yuga still couldn't show any sharp or fluid skills, but he learned fast.

Chu Yue was still reading the manual, as her identity is a country girl who has little knowledge or a base for sword training, she couldn't hurry. Which is a little sad, she will have to make herself weak and pitiful for a few years. The only truth is that she is destitute since she left without taking anything from the tomb with her.

Wen Jie, who hadn't yet become accustomed to the language of this new world after his awakening, looked at the manual with some annoyance, but his look at others seemed confused, he was a good actor. He recently woke up his acupuncture points, and he still needed to open the various points, but the twelve basic points were already open, which would be enough to reach Aurore Core Realms. He scoffed at his heart since his "he" was originally above many in martial cultivation, but now he was "happy" to achieve Aurore Core Realms.

He sat down and crossed his legs with the broad wooden sword in his lap, he started a series of breaths. Each breath seemed to make his body reverberate, his muscles seemed to shake a little, but it would only be noticeable if someone looked at Wen Jie closely.

BOOOM! BOOOM!

It was like thunder in Wen Jie's ears, his muscles ached and his bones felt like they were being shaved, the pain could only be imagined. He sweated a little, but nothing that caught my eye. The cultivation of his soul was very high, he was using the power of his soul to temper from the inside out, the effectiveness is initially not excellent, but he did not have the resources to increase his cultivation level at that time.

Wen Jie has to increase the width of his meridians, the original owner of this body had Natural Energy, but like any special energy or body if it were not cultivated early the body would be atrophied for cultivation. There was no way the original Wen Jie would know of his innate talent, so the meridians, who never received any MANA, they couldn't be strong or wide, were it not for the incident two years ago when the original Wen Jie lost his life, he would just be an ordinary man with a lot of strength.

If it weren't for Hong Yu's stupid test, Wen Jie would have continued to hide Natural Energy, just as he did in the Celestial Sword Sect Test. Unfortunately, when his new friends and Shou Zuo were placed in the light, he couldn't hide either. He didn't want the distance to get too big between him and these people.

Afterward, there were many things and twists and turns, in addition to Shou Zuo's revelation, now he had to train a lot to be able to eat tofu ... Cough! Cough! In this case, for Wen Jie to be worthy of Shou Zuo.

Someone would spit blood if they knew Wen Jie's thoughts, while everyone trained to be strong and to reach the top, he trained to eat her husband's tofu.

Oh, the priorities were different!

Some people train to be on top above everyone else, others train making loved ones happy, while some more shameless people want to be strong to eat a little more tofu ... There are all kinds of people in this world!
