The Way of the Sword (BL)

Chapter 159: Samsara Breathing

[NOT EDITED]

Xiong Jia joined those who were training the techniques in practice, she was often worse than Yi Yuga or even Chu Yue who had just read the manual. Jong Kun sighed when he saw the clumsy girl holding the chipped wooden sword. On the one hand, he regretted that the sword had remained in that state, however he also appreciated Xiong Jia who seemed not to care about it and continued seriously taking care of the sword.

Wooden swords were often disparaged by the disciples, but they didn't imagine that these wooden swords would be the basis for building a real sword or the well-known spiritual weapons.

The weapons could be divided into Common, Mortal, Yin-Yang, Consciousness, Semi-Spiritual and Spiritual. Common Weapons are used by ordinary people and without MANA or Qi, which only causes damage until the cultivator reaches the level of the Realms Foundation. Mortal Weapons can carry the MANA or Qi of the cultivators, although this could decrease the useful life of the weapons, but in battle this type of weapon is essential, remembering that they are the most used weapons by the errant cultivators initially, since they are easy to do.

Yin-Yang are weapons that cultivators can use the elements together; they can be tempered to become Weapons of the Elements. Like cultivating a sword with the element of fire, the sword could acquire immunity to fire and could even become a Burning Sword. Since the weapon is powered by elemental materials to rise in rank and strength, the next step would be for this weapon to gain awareness. Weapons with conscience are weapons that are cores of Spiritual Weapons, which can already form personality and can feel the emotions of their users.

In a nutshell, wooden swords were that Weapon with Conscience and the future core of the sword of all the disciples. For this reason, in the first two years in the sect, new disciples must take the wooden sword and train with it.

A Spiritual Weapon was similar to the Samsara Sword, which had a strong personality, cultivation and emotions. This type of sword is so rare to find and was difficult to make, which could lead to bloody wars for these types of weapons.

These wooden swords weren't made of ordinary wood, but the disciples would only know this when they reached the Aurore Core Realms or if they had a master to be protected and guided.

Jong Kun only knew this secret information because of his work as an alchemist, before he fell into the trap of Hong Yu, there were many demands for him to create pills and potions to bathe wooden swords.

He had many doubts in his heart, his fellow disciples also had doubts, so the person in charge of educating these young people shared that little secret. Of course, the information he obtained was quite vague. Because of this information, Jong Kun kept his wooden sword until that moment, despite his unfortunate fate.

Anyway, Jong Kun couldn't share this type of information, it would be everyone's destiny whether or not they would stay with the wooden swords. He went to help Xiong Jia with the posture and took time to help her position her legs and target the first strike of the Transverse Sword.

After an hour of time given to become familiar with the technique, Zemin Yan and Wen Jie got up and joined the others in practicing. Wen Jie began to practice safely and slowly, he who had raised his body to at least one level of cultivation despite being suppressed, he now had some capital to be able to train this sword stroke without being too embarrassed.

Zemin Yan who had emulated the attack in his mental field, he had confidence while practicing. His movements were initially rigid, but after trying twice he finally managed to keep the stroke steady and accurate, which impressed Jong Kun and Tai-Yang.

If Shou Zuo's movements were fast and accurate, Zemin Yan's movements seemed to carry a unique understanding of the technique making the movement crisper and cooler. The movement seemed slow, but before the eyes could follow the movement it ended with a single bar and a cold air remained.

Shou Zuo's heart accelerated just seeing this movement, he looked at the ten-year-old who was not paying attention to anyone, the boy seemed to have sweat all over his body and his hand was even shaking a little, it was as clear as day that this training was demanding too much of the body of Zemin Yan, who was still a child and whose body was not strengthened. What made Shou Zuo's heart soft, he really wanted to caress the child's soft hair and gives encouragement, but it was going to get in the way of more than helping, so he pretended not to see Zemin Yan's wear and continued to train.

Fortunately, it wasn't really what Shou Zuo was thinking, Zemin Yan was really sweating because of the breathing technique he was using.

"The basic level technique, Samsara's Breath. Adding this to the Scholar's Technique, the cultivation speed will be 10 times faster. Considering that the seal inside your body suppresses your bloodline and disperses impurities in your meridians, you train like this will be quite painful and there will be no encouraging result rapidly. However, this way you can strengthen your internal organs and widen your meridians" Hu Zi said in Zemin Yan's mind, as he watched the child sweat heavily, his small hands trembling slightly in pain.

The Zemin Yan meridians were normal, they were nothing like those of a star cultivator or a cultivation genius, or like those with special lineages and bodies, as well as the appearance of Zemin Yan all too common. Unfortunately, the power that was sealed in Zemin Yan's body was far from common, so he had to strengthen his body before he could further erode the seal of his powers.

Zhong Liang felt his heart ache a little seeing the sweaty Zemin Yan, but he didn't go to the child, he didn't want to break the little boy's concentration. He should give Zemin Yan a recovery medicine. To cover up his specific interest in Zemin Yan, he would have to give everyone a restoration pill, but that would be good for winning little Yan's little friends' hearts and not arousing suspicion.

"Cat-Copy" Tai-Yang murmured, his violet eyes shone strangely and MANA was subtle covering his whole body, only other magicians could see the light of MANA on Tai-Yang's body, so no one noticed the peculiar light orange that surrounded his slim body. In the end, Tai-Yang used the methods of a Great Wizard to be able to carry out the training without having to understand the manual.

It is not that he was stupid or that he was incompetent, but he already had his cultivation system that was very different from the system of the Celestial Sword Sect. He could only copy the understanding of others and then try with his body.

Of course, this only worked if the target had a good understanding of the technique and was weaker than he. A stronger target than he would have realized was being copied, so this technique was only good for learning new skills, but useless in battles.

Soon everyone in the room was practicing, Jong Kun just had some work to help Xiong Jia, Wen Jie and Chu Yue, they who had rigid postures or had the wrong energy when holding the sword, especially Xiong Jia, who had a weak body and didn't accustom to this type of systematic training.

Huang Deshi, Bai Lin and Hu Dewei just looked at the Transverse Sword manual a little, so they were almost perfectly imitating what the manual said, what they were looking for was the state of mind described in the manual, of how the transversal sword had to have a clear aura and be fast.

This is the difference between children who came from the countryside and young people raised in the big city, mainly rich young people and powerful families.

For them, this manual was a walk in the park. With little time, they could use at least 70% of the power of the first movement of the technique, which would be enough to achieve a good placement.

It wasn't that they were arrogant or that they despised the technique, but they were really brilliant. In addition, they differ from Shou Zuo, Tai-Yang, Chu Yue, Quian Dalai and Zemin Yan, as they didn't need to hide their true powers.

It must be said that Quian Dalai had some problems with the sword, even though he had some basis in cultivation and had trained with swords before, since the Transversal Sword was a quick technique, which was the opposite of the heavy sword that Quian Dalai wielded. Fortunately, Hu Dewei, who also had a heavy wooden sword, helped Quian Dalai to train.

Well, then the two started to face each other with their heavy swords and Jong Kun had a headache to separate these two. Fortunately, the Zhong guard had restoration pills and distributed them to everyone, so no one remained injured, and he helped to separate the two novice disciples with the imposing and icy aura.

Zemin Yan ended up sitting panting, while the restoration pill took effect on his body. Although he looked tired, he could feel that it was not long before he left for the Realms Foundation. However, he suppressed it because he wanted to achieve the perfection of Qi Realms. Of course, he also didn't want to draw even more attention to him.

He still had this silly dream of being a pig, but he was a little brighter and more powerful!

"Time is up. Please, all the new disciples take the stage, the evaluation will start in five minutes" Qi Meiying's beautiful and cold voice was heard by everyone.

Qi Meiying was on the platform, her light violet outfit floated with the breeze giving an air of immortal fairy to the pretty woman with the cold expression. Behind her were five wooden puppets, four with Aurore Core level cultivation.

"Brother Yun, has Brother finished adjusting the dolls yet?" Qi Meiying asked looking at Yun San and Hong Yu. Elder Han Yie's two disciples were adjusting the doll levels.
