Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 244 - 169 Immortal Sword Comes from the East_3

Chapter 244: Chapter 169 Immortal Sword Comes from the East_3

Gu Wen sincerely praised the wonders of Cultivation and the power of transcendence.

The only true statement he made was that thankfully they were Cultivators who did not consume grain and did not suffer the torment of mortal flesh.

No one knew what an Immortal’s elegance would be like.

The group rested within the Grotto Heaven.

Gu Wen swallowed the shell of Earth Core Crystal, sat cross-legged in meditation, and a faint golden light emerged from his abdomen.

[Consuming Earth Core Crystal, requires thirty years of Heavenly Marrow for the Golden Light Spell, needs Golden Core to connect seven meridians]

He obtained a hundred years of Heavenly Marrow and a hundred years of Emperor Jelly.

He didn’t know if it was because of Chi Ling’s descent that it brought more benefits.

[Heavenly Marrow one hundred and thirty years]

[Emperor Jelly one hundred and thirty years]

Balancing the two, Gu Wen first integrated the Heavenly Marrow into the Golden Light Spell of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, which was learned in an instant.

[Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, needs Golden Core to connect seven meridians]

[Golden Light Spell requires Nine Revolutions Golden Pill]

[Heavenly Marrow a hundred years]

Gu Wen opened his eyes, and others were more or less accustomed to his pace in cultivation, but only Chan Xi and Xuan Yue showed surprise.

This was already the third Immortal Skill he had mastered; probably unique in the world.

A ripple appeared in Xuan Yue’s dry eyes, and he asked, "Young friend, are you going to reach Immortality through Golden Core Skill?"

"Just casually practicing."

Gu Wen humbly responded, while Xuan Yue was baffled by his words.

Practicing Immortal Skills casually?

He fell silent for a while, then took out a jade slip and said, "I have a Swordsmanship here that was once integrated by the Sword Master into the True Sword Dao. Although it’s not comparable to the True Sword Dao, for later practitioners, a higher level Cultivation Technique isn’t always better."

"Senior, if I can reach the Dao one day, I will repay your generosity."

Gu Wen took the jade slip with one hand and flicked out a pancake with the other, instantly learning the Cultivation Technique inside with his Divine Thought.

He then entered meditation again to study the Cultivation Technique.

[Xuan Yue Sword Step]

Named after his Daoist name, succinct and clear, also showing confidence in his own Swordsmanship.

After mastering the True Sword Dao, Gu Wen no longer needed to rely on the Fate Diagram to understand Swordsmanship; he could tell the uses of a Swordsmanship technique at a glance.

[Xuan Yue Sword Step, use the sword as the bone, steps as the base, one step integrates the precision of the sword, a thousand feet forms the Array.]

[Xuan Yue Sword Step First Level, requires thirty years of Heavenly Marrow, can form Sword Step]

A peak method in both movement technique and Swordsmanship, incorporating Arrays as well.

What a fortune Daoist father.

Gu Wen’s eyes sparkled slightly, instantly realizing the versatility of this Cultivation Technique.

He was not lacking in Swordsmanship, as in the world probably no other sword technique could surpass the True Sword Dao, otherwise, the Immortal wouldn’t be Sword Master. But he was lacking in movement technique and Arrays, and Yu Hua could not provide better techniques.

Because the Golden Light Spell, in a way, also served as a movement technique, any Immortal Skill could achieve profound versatility and was not inferior to many Divine Skills.

The difference between Immortal Skills and other Spells and Divine Skills is that they are versatile, one method could serve many purposes.

Instead of dividing his mind to practice other movement techniques, it would be better to use the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill method.

Xuan Yue Sword Step not only compensated for the deficiencies in his movement technique but also filled in what was lacking in his Array knowledge; Arrays may not always be used, but you can’t be without them, and definitely shouldn’t be completely ignorant of them.

Thirty years of Heavenly Marrow refined the Xuan Yue Sword Step, instantly perfected without the need to stabilize something like Sword Intent.

[Xuan Yue Sword Step, Level One, Sword Step]

[Gaining insight into Sword Step, the True Sword Dao slightly advanced]

[Flame Sword Skill, integrating Sword Step requires ten years of Heavenly Marrow]

Heavenly Marrow calculating Cultivation Techniques took just a breath, but once it emerged in reality, it caused a change in Gu Wen’s profound understanding, every aspect of his Sword Dao changing.

Xuan Yue Demi-Immortal noticed a change in Gu Wen’s aura, his gaze even more astonished, then unconsciously extended his Divine Thought to probe, a faint glance was cast his way.

Yu Hua was looking at him, silent, but an infinite murderous intent secretly arose.

Xuan Yue retracted his Divine Thought and gaze, and everything calmed again, until midnight.

The night passed without words, leaving only Jun Yan’s fingernails scratching on the floor and Chi Yu Zi hiding inside the house, slicing flesh as the sound of dripping blood echoed.

Chan Xi’s cool face took on an unusual expression, suddenly realizing that there seemed to be no ordinary people here.

Considering her own situation, it seemed to be not too bad.

-----------------

In the early morning, Gu Wen was still in meditation.

’Next, to the sword sheath.’

Gu Wen’s Divine Thought explored the sheath of the Immortal Sword, now he needed to exhaust all means to improve his strength.

The most significant improvement for himself was the Immortal Sword, as long as the enemy was killed, he would not need to consider issues of consumption, defense, or movement technique.

[Immortal Sword Sheath, can trace the Immortal Sword]

Once again introducing a hundred years of Emperor Jelly, the sheath stirred slightly, the dark black fine iron slightly luminous, an indescribable Dao rhyme was born and carried Gu Wen toward a farther place.

Ten miles, a hundred miles, five hundred miles, a thousand miles.

Above the cloud peaks, a sword came from the east, its cold gleam shining across thousands of miles.

Gu Wen’s Divine Thought sunk into vastness, as if returning to the initial touch of the Immortal Sword. In his sight, an old man with the appearance of a young boy with silver hair sat cross-legged, brows like sword edges, eyes like sword light, the light in his eyes seemed to contain countless sword lights.

A natural authority, like a mighty sword pressing across the world.

The Sword Master after achieving the Dao.

The memory of encountering the Immortal Sword at Heavenly Spring Mountain emerged, and Gu Wen immediately bowed his head, knowing his current cultivation was not enough to directly look upon an Immortal. He also couldn’t fathom the temper of the other, but judging from the facial features, he looked like a very stubborn old man.

It was said that the Sword Master had a difficult personality, and the practice policy of cultivating swords to death at Broken Sword Mountain was set by him.

It also fit his purpose of refining himself into an Immortal Sword.

A deep and slightly hoarse voice came through, as if it had been a long time since he had interacted with anyone, speaking with pauses yet also oppressive.

"What is your name?"

"Junior Gu Wen, has seen the Immortal."

"Gu Wen."

The dry hand touched the top, and the elder revealed a smile of satisfaction as he repeated.

Leaving only a trace of profound sound.

"Good."

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Wen suddenly came back to his senses, opened his eyes and saw that the people around him had disappeared, his Divine Thought explored and found that everyone in the Grotto Heaven was standing outside.

He was still not recovered from the shock of seeing the Immortal Sword, and then the astonishment of the scene outside took over.

Miles upon miles in Nanshui, a sword spanned, its shadow a thousand miles long.

At this moment, there was no need for Gu Wen to report that he had seen the Immortal Sword because everyone had seen it.

An Immortal in the truest sense had descended upon Nanshui.
