Chapter 115: Chapter 99 For the Sword Maniac, For the Sword Madness (Two in One Continuous Chapter)

Reducing the ten years of Heavenly Marrow, it’s indeed true that all three affect each other.

Gu Wen estimated that if the Buddha, Tao, and Demon Sword could reduce the Heavenly Marrow by five years for every level practiced, the difficulty would be reduced by ten percent; practicing all three swords simultaneously could accumulate to thirty percent.

Heavenly Marrow reduction correlates with one’s actual circumstances; practicing the Buddha, Tao, and Demon Sword in order should have a similar effect. Three sword techniques that can be cultivated up to the Mahayana Realm, even beyond, top techniques in the world, integrating as one, and could also be practiced simultaneously to decrease the required time.

It should be noted that combat methods are like mortals wielding weapons, everyone wields dual weapons, and each has a one-time power boost. The weapon in hand does not become stronger because you hold another in the other hand, and the higher the level of the magic skill, the more so it is the case.

But when everyone is limited in their combat cells, suddenly having three cultivation techniques that can be put together transforms six divine pieces of armor into eight.

No wonder Xiao Yunyi was so obsessed, as any sword cultivator should be unable to resist its allure.

True Sword Dao, the prime sword in the world, the most extreme and unconventional method of attack.

So what was the cost?

An extremely long time expense. Randomly mastering one of the Buddha, Tao, and Demon Swords was enough to reach the heavens, and countless people couldn’t even make it halfway in their lifetime. Yet the requirement for the True Sword Dao was to thoroughly comprehend and master all three top sword techniques, which was tantamount to achieving the Mahayana Realm three times.

But Heavenly Marrow fears neither comprehension nor lacks time.

In front of the Fate Diagram, time seemed like a clock that could be adjusted, with enough Heavenly Marrow, Gu Wen could refine the True Sword Dao in an exceedingly short time.

Furthermore, practicing all three could save a lot of Heavenly Marrow; perhaps when reaching the dharma form stage, one hundred sixty years of Heavenly Marrow could be used to boost the Buddha and Demon Swords separately, and then go back and practice the discounted Yu Sword Dharma Form.

A time-consuming and energy-draining cultivation technique like the True Sword Dao was naturally a perfect match for Heavenly Marrow.

Whether for short-term gains or long-term plans, the True Sword Dao was undoubtedly the most suitable.

Afterwards, Gu Wen spent five days assimilating the medicinal strength and another five days stabilizing his cultivation, taking a total of twenty days to emerge from meditation.

He opened his eyes, a flash of Yuqing Sword God passed through his eyes, and his Daoist foundation’s aura grew a bit more.

[Yuqing Sword Technique Sixth Level Sword God, Sword Intent becomes Divine, the heart unmoved while the sword moves]

The Heart Sword became even more robust, with its power reaching eighty percent of the Flame Dharma, and the actual effect was the transformation of Sword Intent into Divine. The second level of Yuqing Sword Technique was Sword Control, which specifically allowed the Heart Sword to grasp objects and, combined with the later concentration of Yu Swords, was equivalent to a flying sword.

But because it was too mentally exhausting in practice, it was better to focus on using the Flame Spear and Dharma Form. The role of the Sword God was like that of the Spirit Form, allowing the sword to move by itself, achieving automatic attack effects.

Thoughts, Intent, Spirit Form, Dharma Form and so on, everything was to enhance the power of the Daoist Skill, making it more handy to use.

Gu Wen opened his eyes, and it was still the early morning in Luodu, where clashes of magic were heard everywhere.

Although so far no massive mortal casualties had arisen from cultivators’ clashes, he certainly didn’t want to be a mortal in such an environment. Above, immortals fought, in the middle were harsh taxes and tributes, and below roamed hooligans and wild animals.

With a thought, a filament of Yu Sword flew up, tumbling in mid-air.

"At least it’s more like immortal cultivation than using a spear."

Gu Wen really wanted to experience the thrill of beheading with a flying sword, but those weaker than Hee Huan could not be killed with one spear strike.

Fights between entities of the same level were mostly about pressure, outcomes could be decided in an instant, but not life and death.

Others could choose to run, could employ various countermeasures, the advantage of close combat was having room to pursue, but conversely, there was no room to escape.

At a thought, the Yu Sword flew into the adjacent room, Yu Hua was startled by the Yu Sword, then stretched out her hand to gently pinch it.

Gu Wen only felt as though his ear was being teased, a slight pain transmitted, no matter how he tried the Yu Sword couldn’t be retracted.

He had no choice but to go to the adjacent room, where Yu Hua was holding the little Yu Sword and smiling at him, saying, "Have you already refined the Yuqing Sword God?"

Gu Wen humbly replied, "Just a lucky breakthrough."

Yu Hua, already accustomed, did not delve deeper, and said, "For those having Divine Thoughts, it is an extension of the cultivator’s Divine Soul, usually inhabiting a specific object rather than extending directly out. Otherwise, it would end up like this....."

As she spoke, she gently rolled the Yu Sword with her fingertips, Gu Wen only felt a tingling sensation on his skin.

"In this case, you should sever this strand of Divine Thought to prevent the other party from using some Secret Technique to harm your Divine Soul."

"I’ve learnt a valuable lesson."

Gu Wen took back the Yu Sword, and Yu Hua, as if sharing daily tips, said, "I see you seem to really enjoy Sword Control, you were even grinning from ear to ear just now."

"As a cultivator respects the sword as the ruler, I naturally cannot avoid convention."

Gu Wen scratched his head, since it was already about immortal cultivation, then naturally it should be ’In the deep night, the crane pierces the autumn sky, a sword cold through the thousand-mile west wind.’

However, in reality, most cultivators preferred using Dharma Forms, respecting the levels of Dharma Forms, making battles appear like giants clashing. Conversely, flying swords seemed more like a minor path: high consumption, prone to injury, useless at the same level.

He asked, "I wonder if there is a method in the world for a flying sword to take heads from thousands of miles away?"

Yu Hua pondered for a moment, then answered, "Within the Daoist paths, there’s a sect called the Sword Control Sect, who primarily uses Sword Control, constructing a Sword Box that holds countless spiritual swords. Although they practice swordsmanship, the emphasis is on the two characters of ’controlling qi.’"

"Later on, we could take a trip there and let them help you construct a Sword Box. I remember the Sword Master also used Sword Control against his enemies; perhaps after combining the three swords, the Sword Intent may be more suitable for Sword Control."
