Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 37: Sword Qi Transformation
Is this a sword-like creature?
Lu Qingshan was thinking about it.
"Again?" Xia Daoyun asked with a smile as she looked at Lu Qingshan who was still figuring out the ins and outs of the matter.
Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth and nodded.
"This time, you also have to meet it with sword energy." Xia Daoyun said softly.
As soon as the words fell.
laugh!
Sword energy emanated from the Jinghong Sword and transformed into a Jinghong, flying straight towards Lu Qingshan's face.
As soon as Lu Qingshan's mind moved, thousands of sword energy threads appeared around his body, one after another, like a wave, heading towards the snow-white beauty.
Upon seeing this, Xia Daoyun narrowed her eyes, and a beautiful arc appeared at the corner of her eyes, "Qianjian, your Ten Thousand Swords Art has made some progress now."
Thousands of sword energy threads poured out from Lu Qingshan.
Xia Daoyun was praising himself, but in his hand, he was wielding a stunning sword energy with spiritual power no more than the Nascent Soul level, which was spinning up and down, easily meeting his own small success in the Ten Thousand Swords Art, and said in a hoarse voice: "Even at the Thousand Swords level, this is still not good enough for Master."
Xia Daoyun nodded slightly, a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, without any self-deprecation, "I am your master."
Her heart moved slightly, and she was shocked again.
However, he left some strength before attacking, as if testing Lu Qingshan's bottom line.
The stunning bird transformed from the sword energy has equal emphasis on sword moves and sword energy, with infinite variations in complexity and simplicity.
It seemed that it was rushing straight towards Lu Qingshan's face, but in fact it changed randomly during the charge, like a roc spreading its wings, covering the sky and earth, or like a returning swallow, changing direction at will. It could be said that it was magnificent, and its control of energy was exquisite to the point of being accurate to the smallest detail, even three times more exquisite than the most exquisite sword style.
Faced with such changes, Lu Qingshan had no time to catch his breath. The spiritual power in his body surged like the tide, and waves were rising. He could only give birth to strands of sword energy and deal with it desperately.
The stunning sword energy was so agile and light that Lu Qingshan had never seen before.
It was clearly just a small space, but facing the rain-like sword energy, Jinghong was somehow able to handle it with ease.
Lu Qingshan knew that if he continued like this, he would eventually run out of energy and retreat.
Losing early or late is still a loss, so it is better to give it a try and try to use chaos to break the deadlock.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan took action immediately. In a flash, he no longer applied sword energy layer by layer, but instead poured all the sword energy out.
The moment the sword energy threads came out, Lu Qingshan suddenly had an idea and tried to connect the thousands of sword energy threads end to end and entwine them with each other. It actually formed a thick sword energy that looked like a python, and bit towards the snow-white beauty.
"You can imitate others, but you have some charm," Xia Daoyun's eyes lit up, "You are worthy of being my first disciple."
Yes, Lu Qingshan’s move was inspired by Xia Daoyun’s stunning sword energy.
Seeing the python pouncing towards him, Jinghong did not even dodge, but went straight towards it, like an ant trying to shake a tree.
But as it was flying forward, the extremely light and stunning sword energy underwent an earth-shattering change like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.
The snow-white sword energy suddenly expanded and stretched. In the blink of an eye, the swaying wild geese turned into a winding dragon.
The dragon's posture is agile and vigorous. The key point is that after this change, the power of this sword energy has increased several times.
As light as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon.
Xia Daoyuan's stunning sword energy actually has a second form, the swimming dragon.
It seems surprising, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
The blue dragon formed by a strand of sword energy and the "copycat" python formed by thousands of strands of Lu Qingshan's sword energy are almost the same in size.
But body size doesn't mean anything.
The dragon formed by sword energy opened its mouth wide towards the python.
The dragon swallows the snake.
With just one bite, Youlong completely swallowed the python formed by thousands of sword energy threads, and swam towards Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan watched the dragon rushing towards him and felt the power of the sword. It was as if he had a telepathic connection with the sword. Somehow, he touched the sword energy and felt a mysterious meaning that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Xia Daoyun smiled.
The dragon hovered a few centimeters away from Lu Qingshan's nose.
It is said that the Fairy Luoshen can use sword energy to perform sword moves. It is called sword energy, but in fact there are moves in the energy. This time, Lu Qingshan finally had the opportunity to experience it personally.
Looking at Lu Qingshan with a divine light flashing in his eyes, Xia Daoyun's mind changed, and the wandering dragon sword energy dissipated in an instant, leaving no trace.
It seems to be there but not there, and seems not to be there but there. It scatters at will, drifting like snow blown by the wind.
This control ability is already very subtle.
Lu Qingshan was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words.
This skill is almost like the Tao.
"The sword cultivation school is divided into two branches: inner sword and outer sword. The inner sword is based on controlling the sword, while the outer sword is based on sword energy." Looking at Lu Qingshan's surprised expression, Xia Daoyun was extremely calm and said slowly.
"The method of inner sword, in its essence, is the flying sword, and various additional things such as sword formations have been derived from it, but in the final analysis, it is still the flying sword that is practiced. And the flying sword relies more on hard work, comprehension of artistic conception and a little talent. There is not much to teach, so I will not add unnecessary details." The snow-white and clear Jinghong sword also sank into Xia Daoyun's body at this time and disappeared.
"As for the outer sword, sword skills are not difficult. You can learn them after a few more glances. Naturally, I don't have much to teach you. As for the secret sword that I know, the level is too high, so I can't teach you for the time being. After careful consideration, it seems that the most suitable technique to teach you is the sword energy generating technique."
"Although the great principles all converge, sword cultivators often carry sword energy on their flying swords to increase their power. But in the final analysis, this sword energy still belongs to the means of the external sword lineage. Naturally, the power of the sword energy can be better demonstrated when it is performed with sword skills."
"The Ten Thousand Swords Technique you learned is based on sword energy, and then performed with the sword control method. It is a unique combination of internal and external swords, which can be used for both offense and defense. It can be regarded as a superior sword art. However, it is more than mediocre, and its power is a little lacking. You must know that when the sword energy reaches its peak, it is enough to travel three thousand miles." Xia Daoyun glanced at Lu Qingshan, and suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you know the realm of flying swords?"
Lu Qingshan was startled, and then answered honestly: "I know. The first level of flying sword is supersonic speed, the second level is sword explosion thunder sound, the third level is sword lightning fire, and it is said that there is a final level of sword rainbow light above it, but I have not seen it yet."
"Indeed, besides, isn't it said that the realm of sword-generating rainbow light does exist?" Xia Daoyun nodded with satisfaction, and did not elaborate on the flying sword. He turned back to the topic and continued: "The inner sword's sword control is divided into one, two, three, and four levels. The outer sword's sword energy is naturally not far behind. The sword energy is also divided into these many levels. The first level is the sword energy leaving the body, the second level is the sword energy gossamer, which is the realm you are in now, and the third level is the sword energy taking shape."
"Jinghong is the form transformed by sword energy." Xia Daoyun smiled slightly.
"The so-called sword energy transformation first requires the sword cultivator to have perfect control and perception of the sword energy. At this point, the sword will generate aura, and its power will be terrifying. Then it will begin to take shape. The sword energy transformation can also be called the sword energy giving life. The most important point is to give the sword cultivator his own will in the sword energy."
"What kind of spirit the sword energy will eventually transform into is not decided by others. It depends entirely on the mind of the sword cultivator himself, and it varies from person to person! Ten thousand people transform into sword energy, and the sword energy they produce will have ten thousand different forms, some strong and some weak. According to the strength of the transformation, the sword energy creatures are artificially divided into nine grades." After thinking for a while, Xia Daoyun gave an example: "The old sect master gave birth to Kunpeng with one breath, which can swallow rivers and seas, and can eat the sun, moon, and stars. His Kunpeng sword energy is that ninth-grade creature."
Lu Qingshan was somewhat curious about what rank Xia Daoyun's stunning sword energy was, but seeing that Xia Daoyun herself did not mention it, he suppressed his curiosity and did not ask.
"The transformation of sword energy into a human form cannot be cultivated by any method, but there are secrets to follow. The profound meaning you have just comprehended is the secret of the transformation of sword energy into a human form. After comprehending this secret, you can observe the fierce, strange, and spiritual beasts in the world, and find the form that best suits your nature, and transform it into your sword energy." Xia Daoyun said firmly, "This is a long process, but a tall building starts from the ground. The earlier you start looking for a contract, the earlier the sword energy will be transformed. Others say that it is best to transform sword energy into a human form after the fifth realm, because its secret is too obscure and difficult to comprehend before condensing the Tao Seed. However, when I was in the fourth realm, I easily comprehended the secret of transformation. After careful recollection, it is indeed not difficult. I think this statement is not very accurate. I have given you a little guidance today, and you really have comprehended it. My observation is indeed correct!" Xia Daoyun was in a very light mood.
"Master, you are wise." Lu Qingshan praised quickly.
Xia Daoyun nodded her head slightly without saying a word, her face showing a calm and composed expression, but unconsciously, a faint smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Obviously, the praise from his first disciple made Xia Daoyun, a first-time teacher, feel a little proud.
Sitting upright on the main seat, Xia Daoyun held his chin with his right hand and thought for a while. Finally, a flash of inspiration came to him, and a storage ring hovered in front of Lu Qingshan.
"I know you are from the small town of Qingzhou in the Southern Region. Even if you have the 100 Spirit Crystals reward for being the champion, your own assets should not be considered abundant."
"Although we sword cultivators follow our hearts, we are not loners. When we go out, we always need to socialize. Moreover, if we encounter some precious spiritual objects, we have to spend money. Even if we meet a girl we like and want to please her..."
At this point, Xia Daoyun glanced at Lu Qingshan, blinked, thought about it very seriously, and said, "With your looks, you shouldn't have too many troubles in this regard... But having more money can always save you some time."
"The things in the ring are some expenses I prepared for you. If they are almost used up, just ask me for them again." Xia Daoyun said the most generous words in the calmest tone.
Lu Qingshan's mind moved slightly, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Other masters are afraid of spoiling their disciples and turning them into arrogant and useless disciples who always ask for clothes and food, so it is naturally impossible for them to give their disciples a large sum of money for no reason, let alone say things like "come to me if it's not enough".
But his own master is fearless and unique. Does he really trust him that much?
Maybe that's the case.
However, looking at Xia Daoyun's tone and gesture when speaking, Lu Qingshan always felt that Xia Daoyun's behavior was more like that she had not considered the possibility that "giving disciples too much would make them develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing"?
Thinking this way, Lu Qingshan took the storage ring without any hesitation.
If it was given by someone else, he would have to think about it.
After all, accepting it is a love.
Love must be repaid.
But since it's Xia Daoyuan, it doesn't matter.
This is my master.
The relationship between a teacher and his students is one of the most important friendships in the world, and adding more to it is nothing.
Anyway, I don’t worry about having too much debt.
…
After the matter was settled, Lu Qingshan bowed and took his leave.
Today, Xia Daoyun taught him two methods, and he benefited a lot from them.
One is "a bolt from the blue".
The second is the secret of sword energy transforming into a shape.
Neither of these two methods is a real sword skill, but they help him more than any other sword skill.
