Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 30 – The ultimate of Sword Technique is Sword Qi

ng Fan chuckled.

"This Sword Qi is not the ordinary kind!"

Then he drew the Hong Qi Sword and began to execute the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

ng Fan had previously sparred with Liu Yanping using this technique, and to give her pointers, he had specially studied it.

Thus, he was extrely familiar with the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

"Senior Sister Liu, your main Sword Technique is the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword, am I right?" ng Fan asked.

"That's correct!" Liu Yanping replied.

"In that case, watch closely."

Having said that, ng Fan continued to practice the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

Each move was executed with natural grace, making Liu Yanping, who had practiced the technique for many years, feel quite inferior.

Watching ng Fan practice the sword, Liu Yanping unconsciously gained so insights and felt that her own Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique could be further improved.

Monts later, the entire Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique had been practiced up to the last move.

At that mont, ng Fan suddenly shouted, "Senior Sister Liu, take my sword strike!"

Liu Yanping was startled as she watched ng Fan.

She saw that ng Fan had completed the final move of the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

After finishing the last move, ng Fan did not stop his long sword but swung it towards Liu Yanping once more.

An ordinary sword strike, without any fancy moves, just a simple swing, casually executed.

"Whoosh..."

A stream of Sword Qi burst forth from the blade of the Hong Qi Sword, slashing towards Liu Yanping.

Liu Yanping's face changed, and she quickly summoned her True Qi, slashing out with her sword in response.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed as the Sword Qi unleashed by ng Fan was shattered by Liu Yanping's strike.

However, a great force hit her, causing Liu Yanping to involuntarily take a step back.

She looked at ng Fan in shock and disbelief, "Junior Disciple ng, you're only at the second level of Qi Refining, how could you possibly unleash Sword Qi?"

As everyone knows, only when one reaches the third level of Qi Refining and channels True Qi with full force can one unleash Sword Qi!

"Think back carefully, did I use any True Qi just now?" ng Fan said to Liu Yanping.

Just now?

Liu Yanping frowned and recalled carefully.

During ng Fan's practice of the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique, he had not used any True Qi, just casually practicing the sword.

And after performing the Sword Technique, ng Fan followed up with a sword strike that flowed like clouds and water, seamless and without using any internal True Qi.

Realizing this, Liu Yanping was dumbfounded and utterly shocked.

"You... how could you possibly unleash Sword Qi without using True Qi?"

At this mont, Liu Yanping was truly astounded.

If ng Fan had unleashed Sword Qi with a cultivation level of the second Qi Refining level, it would be surprising but not incomprehensible.

Perhaps ng Fan's cultivation technique was special, and his True Qi was more profound than that of ordinary people.

But to casually unleash Sword Qi without using True Qi was beyond reason, leaving Liu Yanping unable to understand, as if witnessing a miracle.

"How did you do it?" Liu Yanping asked with a furrowed brow, starting to doubt her own understanding of cultivation.

ng Fan sheathed the Hong Qi Sword and said with a smile, "This is the very breath you lack for breaking through to the True Martial Realm!"

"What do you an?" Liu Yanping didn't understand.

"To break through to the True Martial Realm, you need not only sufficient strength of True Qi but also a transformation of your spirit.

Once you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, your True Qi is strong enough to break through to the True Martial Realm.

Spirit, Qi, and Mind – what you lack is the Mind!

How to achieve a breakthrough in spirit, I do not know, but I have realized a thod during my comprehension of the Sword God Stele.

That is to practice a Sword Technique to the utmost perfection. When a Sword Technique is mastered to the utmost, and you wield your sword, there will be 'Mind'.

The Sword Qi I just unleashed was not born from True Qi.

It was born from practicing the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique to its ultimate limit!"

Hearing ng Fan's words, Liu Yanping looked bewildered and incredulous.

"You an to say, by practicing a Sword Technique to the ultimate limit, wielding the sword as if endowed with a divine presence, one can generate Sword Qi through the Sword Technique?"

"Exactly!" ng Fan nodded.

"Does that an an ordinary person, by mastering a Sword Technique to the ultimate limit, even without True Qi, can generate Sword Qi with that technique?"

"That's the principle!"

Liu Yanping was astounded.

She had just personally experienced the power of ng Fan's Sword Qi, which could be compared to the strike of a practitioner at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.

In that case, does it an that an ordinary person without True Qi, once they master a Sword Technique to the ultimate limit, can compete with a practitioner at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining?

But then again, if one could master a Sword Technique to the ultimate limit, how could they possibly be an ordinary person without True Qi?

This was a paradox!

After a while, Liu Yanping ca back to her senses.

She asked thoughtfully, "Are you saying that if I can practice the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique to the level you have, I can step into the True Martial Realm?"

ng Fan nodded and said, "Exactly, and breaking through to the True Martial Realm in this way will make you stronger than the average practitioner in that realm, and most importantly, with deeper potential!"

"Why do you say that?" Liu Yanping was sowhat puzzled.

"Because this kind of Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Qi is actually the seed of the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Intent. Once you cultivate this Sword Qi, it won't be difficult to later condense the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Intent!"

ng Fan continued to explain, "If you can further condense the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Intent at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, then you can smoothly step into the Heavenly Origin Realm."

The Heavenly Origin Realm?

She hadn't even stepped into the True Martial Realm, and here was ng Fan already painting her a picture of the Heavenly Origin Realm, which made Liu Yanping smile wryly.

However...

Sword Intent?

So the foundation for condensing a Sword Intent was to practice a Sword Technique to the ultimate limit.

"Who would have thought that a single comprehension of the Sword God Stele could broaden your horizons so much!" Liu Yanping said with a touch of envy.

She had also comprehended the Sword God Stele, but the result was... indescribable.

Truly, comparisons are odious!

ng Fan smiled. To be honest, he hadn't expected that a single comprehension of the Sword God Stele would give him such a profound understanding of cultivation.

This ti, he had really hit the jackpot!

Suddenly, Liu Yanping thought of sothing and looked at ng Fan in amazent, "Now that you have mastered the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique to the ultimate limit and can generate Sword Qi with it, does that an that once you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, you can seamlessly advance to the True Martial Realm?"

"In theory, yes," ng Fan replied with a nod.

Liu Yanping was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentnt, feeling that the heavens were unfair. How could they allow one person to be so exceptional?

How were others supposed to live?

Couldn't this kind of excellence be shared with others?

Liu Yanping sighed, saying with imnse envy, "Soone like you is outrageous. I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly cultivated Sword Intent one day!"

ng Fan just smiled, saying nothing.

For him, cultivating Sword Intent was indeed not a difficult task.

Take the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique, for example; if ng Fan were willing to spend ti studying it, perhaps in a month or two, he could cultivate the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Intent.

But ng Fan didn't value the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique. Even if he cultivated its Sword Intent, it wouldn't be a particularly strong one.

Soone like ng Fan, if he decided to cultivate Sword Intent, would certainly pick a formidable one!

"Just telling you this isn't worth a hundred Spirit Stones. I'm a fair man; in the next few days, I will personally coach you in the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique."

ng Fan's service was incredibly thorough and fitting.

He couldn't help it; he still valued Liu Yanping, the generous rich woman.

He wanted to comprehend the Sword God Stele a few more tis, so he had to fleece Liu Yanping for all she was worth.

"Within seven days, I will ensure your breakthrough to the True Martial Realm," ng Fan declared confidently.

Over the next seven days, ng Fan spent each day coaching Liu Yanping in the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique.

Most of the ti was spent in the Training Hall, and when Senior Disciple Luo went out to fetch wine, Liu Yanping would co to the Sword Pavilion.

Not a day was wasted!

After seven days, Liu Yanping had finally mastered the Erald Sea Tide Rises Sword Technique to the ultimate limit.

Like ng Fan, even without using True Qi, she could generate True Qi with this Sword Technique.

Most importantly, she successfully broke through to the True Martial Realm.

This made her ecstatic, and she rewarded ng Fan with ten Spirit Stones on the spot.

It wasn't much, but ng Fan was content and didn't complain.

Ti flowed like water, and another half month passed.

During this ti, ng Fan still visited the Training Hall daily to observe swordplay. After his last comprehension of the Sword God Stele, he gained deeper insights while watching.

His cultivation level had also reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Most importantly, his concept of Myriad Swords Returning to was beginning to take shape.

Unfortunately, the accumulation was insufficient. If only he could study ten thousand Sword Techniques, that would be ideal.

The Sword Techniques practiced by the disciples in the Training Hall were the sa hundred or so types, and ng Fan could no longer find any new ones.

Now, he rarely went to the Training Hall.

"If only I could sweep through the Scripture Pavilion, that would be great," ng Fan sotis thought wistfully.

Alas, he was just a Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion, not a disciple guarding the Scripture Pavilion.

One morning, as usual, ng Fan began to clean the long swords.

Recently, the swords he cleaned occasionally had a Malevolent Aura.

But the "mories" within these Sword Wraiths no longer attracted ng Fan's attention.

They were mostly ordinary Sword Techniques, similar in level to those practiced by the disciples in the Training Hall.

Just as ng Fan was cleaning the twenty-ninth sword of the day, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Wait a minute!"

It was the voice of Hong Qi.

"What's wrong?" ng Fan whispered.

"This sword may seem unremarkable, but in fact, it is a Spiritual Sword," Hong Qi reminded ng Fan.
