"I have never been fond of unnecessary formalities; there aren’t too many rules under my tutelage. Just respect your teacher and the Dao. As for those tedious things like apprenticeship banquets and ceremonies, they can be skipped."
Having accepted Gu Yuan as a disciple, He Ling True Master’s mindset naturally changed, and thinking about Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship, he pondered and said:
"I observe that the swordsmanship you’ve learned should be one of the basic sword techniques of the Ancient Sword Immortal Dao Lineage’s Xuantian Sword Sect, ’Life-taking Sword Formulas’. It’s quite powerful, though a bit extre, yet suitable for you to build a foundation."
"However, you are now approaching the phase of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, and you need a sword formula for the next phase."
As he said this, He Ling True Master retrieved two items from his storage pouch and handed them to Gu Yuan.
The two items were a gray-white stone slab, seemingly a normal mountain rock with no apparent special characteristics,
and a book of unknown material, with its cover inscribed with ’Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas’, the script bold, iron strokes with silver hooks, brimming with an indescribable sharpness.
The mont he received the items, two lines of small characters flashed before Gu Yuan’s eyes.
[Dao Rhy Points 1679!]
[Dao Rhy Points 581!]
...
"Huh! So many Dao Rhy Points?"
Seeing so many Dao Rhy Points credited, Gu Yuan instantly realized sothing was off.
He looked at the items in his hand, the stone slab seed ordinary, with only a deep sword mark on it.
Gu Yuan extended his finger to gently touch it and imdiately retracted his hand as if electrocuted.
Upon observing his finger, there was a faint cut on the fingertip, emitting a slight trace of blood.
Within that sword mark, a remnant of sword intent was clearly present.
Although this sword intent was weak, it contained a terrifying aura of unmatched sharpness able to slay immortals and demons.
Gu Yuan rely sensed it slightly with his Life-taking Sword Intent, and felt a chill throughout, as if a cold killing intent almost penetrated his entire being.
However, strangely, this fierce sword intent felt familiar to Gu Yuan, as if it shared the sa origin with his Life-taking Sword Intent.
At this mont, He Ling True Master tily began to explain: "This stone slab was found in the storage pouch of that old man surnad Wu. The sword mark left by a high expert of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and the sword intent contained within it, shares the lineage with the ’Life-taking Sword Formulas’ you have practiced. Frequent contemplation would greatly benefit you."
Only then did Gu Yuan understand.
His ’Life-taking Sword Formulas’ indeed originated from that elder surnad Wu, and since this stone slab was found in the Wu elder’s storage pouch, their lineage connection made sense.
Regarding ’Life-taking Sword Formulas’ being a basic sword technique of the Ancient Sword Immortal Dao Lineage’s Xuantian Sword Sect, Gu Yuan genuinely didn’t know, and he morized this fact.
"As for this ’Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas’, it is one of dicine King Mountain’s secret sword techniques as well as the sword formulas I have cultivated. This swordsmanship is moderate and magnanimous, wholly different in approach compared to the vicious and harsh ’Life-taking Sword Formulas’. It can be used as the primary cultivation technique or as a supplentary one."
Speaking this, He Ling True Master seriously said:
"While ’Life-taking Sword Formulas’ are exquisite, they adopt a thod of taking a path narrowly focused. If you wish to go further on this path, it is best to cultivate several sword techniques and ultimately find the direction most suited to you without deviating."
"Master is right, I will rember this deeply."
Gu Yuan slowly nodded, fully agreeing with the sentint.
’Life-taking Sword Formulas’ are ruthless and decisive, once deployed, the killing intent is dense.
Although powerful, it’s sowhat biased and deviated. Over ti, it’s easy to stray from the true path of the sword.
He Ling True Master clearly foresaw this, hence imparted the ’Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas’ to gradually correct Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship at its core.
Gu Yuan briefly leafed through and found this ’Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas’ indeed marvelous and profound, truly a peak Earth Tier Daoist Scripture, sa rank as his ’Primordial True Water Scripture’.
Besides swordsmanship techniques for the Celestial Human Realm and Golden Core Realm, it even has corresponding cultivation thods for the Yin Spirit Realm.
He couldn’t help but sigh, how previously with average aptitude he constantly worried about entering Daoist true techniques.
Now, with enhanced aptitude, true Daoist techniques continuously fell into his lap.
And all are superior grade Daoist scriptures.
Yet as He Ling True Master said, the ’Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas’ do not conflict with ’Primordial True Water Scripture’, both can be cultivated together.
Gu Yuan barely hesitated, deciding to adopt ’Primordial True Water Scripture’ as his primary cultivation technique,
while concurrently cultivating the ’Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas’.
One focuses on Core Formation and Qi Cultivation, the other finely refines the Lifebound Flying Sword.
After all, the forr has a very high upper limit, with even more exquisite following Daoist scriptures awaiting him.
Moreover, Gu Yuan couldn’t possibly be committed to only being a sword cultivator from now on, otherwise he would be wasting his Spirit Pet System.
"We sword cultivators don’t just need sword formulas and Daoist scriptures, flying swords are equally important. With your current cultivation, using ordinary sword weapons is clearly insufficient. You now have cultivation techniques, but lack a flying sword to protect yourself."
He Ling True Master drew a sheathless silver flying sword from the storage pouch and handed it to Gu Yuan: "This Silver Flood Dragon Sword was once my weapon, of decent quality, now giving it to you."
"Thank you, Master!"
Gu Yuan did not refuse, solemnly stretched both hands to receive.
Only feeling a weight in his hand.
This sword superficially seed similar in size to his Qiushui Sword, yet trendously heavy, even with Gu Yuan’s strength, it took effort to hold.
Until inspiration struck, and began to activate Life-taking Sword Intent.
As a fierce and chilling sword intent spread forth,
! Zzeng——
This sword seed to respond, its blade quivering, producing a sonorous sound like a dragon’s roar, exuding an oppressive fierce aura.
Simultaneously, Gu Yuan suddenly felt this Silver Flood Dragon Sword beco much lighter in hand and seed to maneuver easily.
Only then did Gu Yuan begin examining back and forth.
This Silver Flood Dragon Sword was three feet five inches long, all silver and shining, integrated sword body and hilt.
The blade was thin and sharp, emitting a cold chill, faint scaly patterns could be discerned on the sword’s surface.
Just glancing at it left Gu Yuan with a sense of daunting sharpness, with his skin slightly pricked!
"This sword is primarily made of Iron Mother and Essence of Five tals, with seven ounces of Taiyi Silver Spirit added, ultimately refined using the Silver Flood Dragon Essence Blood. Its nature is ferocious and strange, classified as an evil sword, abandoned by due to incompatibility."
Seeing Gu Yuan quickly ta the sword, He Ling True Master seed pleased, remarked offhandedly:
"But it suits you well. If you refine it, even a few Celestial Human Realm cultivators may find themselves helpless against you."
Gu Yuan circulated True Qi, infused a thread of Primordial True Qi.
