Chapter 606: Chapter 605: Swords Skill

The sword technique that no one in Famous Sword Manor had ever learned?

Lin Bai asked with curiosity, "Master Jian, why did no one learn this sword technique? Are you saying that no one from the Famous Sword Manor ever learned the technique that the seniors developed?"

Jian Qianqiu replied, "This sword technique was obtained by an ancestor of our Famous Sword Manor from a dangerous place. He deduced that this technique is extremely powerful, but unfortunately, he could not comprehend or learn it. When he died, he left instructions for future generations in our Manor to definitely decipher its mysteries."

"This senior was the strongest member of our Manor and his power was terrifying, even surpassing the realm of Flying Sky."

"His words should not be false!"

"Hence, over the years, we have been earnestly seeking experts who can learn this sword technique, so that it doesn’t forever remain tucked away."

Jian Qianqiu explained slowly.

After listening, Lin Bai showed considerable interest and said, "Oh? Fascinating! Master Jian, let’s have a look at this sword technique."

"All right!"

Jian Qianqiu took out an aged beast-skin ancient book from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai carefully accepted it, his gaze roaming over the beast-skin ancient book.

In an instant, he was drawn to the text and sword techniques recorded on it.

The sword technique was called "the Thousand-Sword Skill". As Jian Qianqiu had said, it was indeed phenomenally powerful and awed the world.

Jian Ruohan spoke at this moment, "This technique, be it the skill, the meditation, the swordsmanship, or the chant, contains all the elements. But we have not been able to unleash its power according to the cultivation method recorded."

Yejian Qiu also said, "Right. I read this sword technique last year. However, following the recorded cultivation practice was futile. I don’t know where the problem lies."

Dugu Yun added, "I once took this technique back to the Sword Art Academy and let over ten million genius warriors from the academy contemplate and practice it. Regrettably, not a single person was able to decode it after an entire year."

Jian Qianqiu chimed in, "The skill, the chant, and the meditation are all well-recorded. It’s merely the swordsmanship that cannot demonstrate the power."

Lin Bai looked at it closely.

This sword technique contained a total of five moves.

The first one, One Sword Turns into Nine.

The second one, One Sword Transforms into a Hundred.

The third one, one sword becomes a thousand.

The fourth, one sword multiplies into ten thousand.

The fifth, ten thousand swords return to the clan!

Jian Ruohan explained, "According to the technique, casting this sword skill can make one sword turn into nine, nine into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand, a thousand into ten thousand, and finally, ten thousand swords return to the clan."

"It’s a pity that no matter how we practice, we cannot let one sword transform into nine. Instead, we can only cast some sword shadows, which apparently carry little force."

"This is the most peculiar part."

"Even if we cultivate it, we can’t unlock the power of this sword technique."

"That’s why we say that this is the unparalleled sword technique that no one in Famous Sword Manor has learned."

Jian Ruohan stated, seriousness marking her voice.

Being Famous Sword Manor’s sect leader’s only daughter, Jian Ruohan had read this sword technique countless times but could never grasp the underlying mystery.

Dugu Yun and Jian Qianqiu both looked at Lin Bai eagerly, asking, "Lin Bai, can you spot any mysteries in this sword technique?"

After Lin Bai read all the text on the sword technique thoroughly, he suddenly had an epiphany and looked up.

"Hehe."

A peculiar grin spread over Lin Bai’s face.

Seeing Lin Bai’s expression, Jian Ruohan, Jian Qianqiu, Dugu Yun, and Yejian Qiu all looked confused.

Jian Qianqiu urgently asked, "Lin Bai, how is it? Can you see the mystery in it?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Master Jian, from now on, you don’t have to show this sword technique to sword cultivators in Lingdong. On the whole Barbarian Ancient Continent as it stands today, the number of people who can learn this sword technique wouldn’t exceed five!"

At Lin Bai’s words, Jian Qianqiu and Jian Ruohan looked a bit alarmed.

The entire population of warriors on the Barbarian Ancient Continent capable of learning this technique wouldn’t exceed five!

Jian Qianqiu and Jian Ruohan felt a chill in their hearts.

Could this sword skill really fade away into oblivion forever?

Lin Bai continued, "Although no more than five people in the Barbaric Ancient Continent have mastered this sword skill, I am one of them."

Thunk!

Lin Bai really kept surprising everyone with his words!

Upon hearing this, Jian Qianqiu was shocked and asked, "Lin Bai, have you comprehended the sword skill in this set?"

Lin Bai smiled, "I have understood a bit of it."

Phew——

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Dugu Yun, Yejian Qiu, Jian Ruohan, and Jian Qianqiu all took a sharp intake of breath.

For so many years, countless talents had tried to comprehend this sword skill for a month, a year, or even for their whole lives, but had been unable to grasp its mysteries.

However, Lin Bai had just taken one look at this sword skill and claimed to have understood a bit of it.

Lin Bai looked at the Beast Skin Ancient Book again, his eyes gleamed with fanaticism, he spoke in disbelief, "I can’t believe it’s a book on the Flying Sword Skill!"

The Flying Sword Skill, situated between divine power and martial techniques, is a unique secret book created especially for warriors of the Flying Sword.

The power of the Flying Sword Skill can only be fully manifested when using a flying sword.

Lin Bai sat down cross-legged, put the Thousand-Sword Skill on his knee, and started practicing.

An hour later.

Lin Bai opened his eyes again, returned the Beast Skin Ancient Book to Jian Qianqiu, a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing the joyful look on his face, Jian Qianqiu anxiously asked, "How did it go? Lin Bai, have you learned it?"

Lin Bai nodded with a smile.

Immediately, Lin Bai’s figure flickered, and he retreated a hundred meters!

Jian Ruohan, Jian Qainqiu, Yejian Qiu, and Dugu Yun quickly turned their attention to Lin Bai!

"Brother Ye, dare you to take my sword?" Lin Bai chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Yejian Qiu laughed and took two steps forward, "What’s there to be afraid of! Come on, let me see how powerful the sword skill is, the one that no one in the Famous Sword Manor could learn!"

Immediately, Jian Qianqiu, Jian Ruohan, and Dugu Yun cleared out an arena.

Lin Bai stood in front of Yejian Qiu and, with a single wave of his hand, a flying sword appeared.

Yejian Qiu frowned as he looked at the flying sword.

Lin Bai gave a small smile, his mind moved, and the flying sword shot out like lightning towards Yejian Qiu’s face.

"Thousand-Sword Skill! One Sword Turns into Nine!"

As the flying sword, carrying a devastating force, charged toward him, it arrived in front of Yejian Qiu, its shape shifted, turned into nine shining golden flying swords, attacking Yejian Qiu all at once!

Jian Qianqiu exclaimed, "This is the first technique of the Thousand-Sword Skill, the One Sword Turns into Nine!"

Dugu Yun exclaimed, "I can’t believe he actually learned it!"

Under Lin Bai’s one sword, Yejian Qiu faced enormous pressure.

His inner Divine Elixir swiftly rotated, and his spiritual power roared forth.

Yejian Qiu drew his treasure sword with one hand and struck it forcefully.

With a thump!

The nine flying swords collided, fiercely striking Yejian Qiu’s defense.

Yejian Qiu first blocked the three flying swords in front, but the six swords that followed caused Yejian Qiu to retreat step by step. Only after retreating more than a dozen steps did he manages to steady his figure.

Yejian Qiu’s face was filled with shock, "I was forced to retreat more than a dozen steps by just one technique, even though I have the cultivation of the Divine Elixir Realm!"

Hiss——

Jian Qianqiu, Dugu Yun, and Jian Ruohan were shocked upon seeing Lin Bai force Yejian Qiu to retreat more than a dozen steps with just one sword, they looked dumbfoundedly.

Yejian Qiu was nothing like before, he was now a true master of the Human Elixir Realm, but he was forced to retreat a dozen steps with just one sword from Lin Bai.

If this were to get out, no one under heaven would believe that a warrior of Half-step Divine Pill Realm could repulse a high-level master of the Human Elixir Realm!
