Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 910 Theory of Will and Preaching (Two-in-One)

Gao Yang held the Eternal Radiance sword, its blade burning with golden battle qi, and thick, mercury-like red dragon blood slowly dripped from it.

Previously, during Audreyville's advancement, the sky above the Dragon Blood Pool was not peaceful. An ancient blue dragon finally arrived, much to the anticipation of many legendary blue dragons.

Upon meeting, the two parties engaged in a direct and primal exchange without the slightest hesitation.

Ultimately, this ancient blue dragon died by Gao Yang's sword, and its corpse and flesh became nourishment, forming the legendary foundation of Audreyville.

As for the battle, for Gao Yang, although the Ancient Dragon was extremely powerful because it had lived long enough, it was still not enough.

Gao Yang is now practically at the very top among the veteran legends. As long as he doesn't encounter an enemy who is extremely effective against him, he is invincible.

Naturally, this ancient blue dragon was also unable to defeat Gao Yang.

Gao Yang stepped onto Aowei's broad dragon back, feeling the solid texture beneath his feet, and nodded in satisfaction.

After advancing to the legendary level, Ovi's performance in all aspects has improved significantly. Not to mention anything else, his physical body alone is powerful enough.

In later adventures, Ovi can simply handle any minor opponents.

Gao Yang stepped on Orvi, tapping his foot lightly twice, and said, "Go down and take those corpses back to the Chlogo Tree."

Upon hearing this, Ovi's two ferocious dragon heads let out a low roar, then flapped their wings, which were so large they could blot out the sky, and charged towards the Dragon Blood Lake below.

Aside from the dragon's corpse, the energy in Dragon Blood Lake was still incredibly potent, making it the perfect tonic for the newly advanced Ovi.

Absorbing the energy from the Dragon Blood Lake will not only help Ovi master his own power in the shortest time, but also raise his upper limit, since he can continuously temper the dragon's bloodline and thus increase his own bloodline concentration.

Although, this process comes to almost nothing when it reaches a certain limit.

However, Ovi's dragon bloodline is still a long way from reaching that level.

In the floating city, ever since Gao Yang returned from his cultivation in the sun, he has never left that mage tower again.

You Miao had no intention of going inside, and quietly continued his cultivation in a corner of the floating city.

Although he now has the Vitality Fruit given to him by Gao Yang to replenish his energy, the sword in his heart has not been erased. This has led to his body still becoming thinner despite being able to replenish his energy through the Vitality Fruit.

In just two days, You Miao had become emaciated.

However, although his body had become so thin that he was skin and bones, his eyes were becoming brighter and brighter, to the point that they had a lingering, unwavering radiance.

If Gao Yang were here, he would definitely be able to tell that You Miao has entered a stage of transformation of will.

Given a little more time, he will be able to complete the transformation of his will, and thus greatly enhance his willpower.

A significant boost in willpower is extremely useful at any time.

"Soon, soon!"

You Miao sat cross-legged on the edge of the floating city, looking down at the thick clouds below, muttering to himself.

In the past few days, apart from basic cultivation, he has devoted all his attention to comprehending the sword that Gao Yang left in his heart.

As he gained this almost reckless understanding, the image of that sword became increasingly blurred in his mind, replaced by a wealth of combat experience that he absorbed and digested.

You Miao turned his almost withered head, picked up the vitality fruit beside him that was nearly half eaten, slowly but firmly took a small bite, and swallowed it.

After swallowing the fruit, feeling the energy slowly spreading through his body, he closed his eyes again and began his daily cultivation.

In his mental world, You Miao looked at the slash that had almost torn his mental world apart, his eyes filled with determination.

The next instant, his body vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the slash mark.

Seeing the slowly descending slash mark, You Miao roared, unleashing all his energy and spirit, and wielded his battle blade to unleash a dazzling blade light.

Click!

Watching the blade's edge be extinguished without the slightest pause, You Miao's eyes showed no disappointment, but rather grew even more resolute.

He had performed this action countless times, because he had no better way to understand and comprehend the sword strike that Gao Yang had unleashed.

Therefore, the only way is to use the most idiotic and simplest method: put yourself under the sword and experience its power and its various changes firsthand.

This method is clumsy, but there is no doubt that it allows You Miao to experience the power of this sword to the fullest extent, but it also contains great risks.

Regardless of the type of attack, Gao Yang's attacks all contained an extremely terrifying will.

If one's will is not strong enough, then the consequence of rashly facing this sword is that one's consciousness and soul will be destroyed on the spot, leaving only the physical body to survive.

Fortunately, this was a sword strike that You Miao manifested in his own mind. Although it still contained Gao Yang's will, it contained very little of it.

Simply put, it's all show and no substance.

Even so, when You Miao first thought of this method and put it into practice, he was almost shattered of his mind. It took him several hours to recover from the sword intent that had almost completely destroyed his body and soul.

After shattering You Miao's blade aura, the sword strike 'Nightfall' continued its momentum, cutting directly through You Miao's consciousness.

You Miao didn't even groan before disappearing directly into the world of his mind.

Five minutes later, as the thoughts converged, You Miao reappeared in the mental world.

Compared to the several hours at the beginning, I can now refocus my mind in just five minutes, which is a huge leap forward.

You Miao stood in the mental world, without pausing for a moment, and slashed out with his sword once again.

A spatial vortex slowly opened within the floating city, and Gao Yang leaped out with Milofina in his arms.

"Meow~ This adventure is a bit boring!" Milofina yawned, jumped off Gao Yang's shoulder, and flew towards the cat's nest at the top of the mage tower.

Gao Yang looked at her languid appearance, smiled silently, then walked out of the mage tower and released Ovi, who had already completed his advancement.

Ovi walked quietly toward the Chloe tree, while Gao Yang turned to look at You Miao, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

He could sense the willpower emanating from You Miao.

Although it wasn't much to him, it was already outstanding enough for You Miao's level.

The moment Gao Yang looked at You Miao, You Miao's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

A sword shadow appeared in his eyes, only to be shattered by a sudden flash of blade light.

In that instant, Gao Yang heard an extremely sharp whistling sound from a blade. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He hadn't expected that You Miao had actually comprehended his own sword intent through that sword strike.

"That's right. At this level, accepting the so-called inheritance should increase the survival rate by 30%."

You Miao opened his eyes, a smile he couldn't hide appearing on his face. However, his face was now just skin and bones, so his smile didn't convey any joy; instead, it made him look like an ancient demon who had spotted his prey.

Of course, Gao Yang could sense his joy.

However, before You Miao could even let out a hearty laugh, she saw Gao Yang standing in front of her.

His smile faded, and he stood up, quickly walking to Gao Yang's side, and said:

"Boss, you're out."

Gao Yang did not inform You Miao of his departure, so in You Miao's memory, Gao Yang was just cultivating in seclusion in the mage tower.

Gao Yang nodded slightly, looked You Miao up and down, and then said, "Very good will. If you continue down this path, you should reap good rewards."

You Miao was invigorated. He might not have taken it to heart if it were anyone else, but he couldn't afford to take the affirmation from a big shot like Gao Yang lightly.

Immediately, his mind raced, and he slowly opened his mouth, tentatively asking, "Boss, may I ask what kind of road this is?"

What kind of road is it?

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "You're used to using a knife, right?"

You Miao nodded vigorously. He had tried other weapons such as swords and guns, but in the end, the knife suited his taste better.

Gao Yang looked at him and continued to explain:
"Just now, as you mastered the sword intent, your will also broke through. The higher the quality of your will, the greater the amplification of this sword intent. You can consider this an extremely powerful attack method."

Use your will to amplify your blade; when you sever the body, you also sever the soul.

This should also align well with the profession you are about to inherit—the Twilight Heartbreaker.

You Miao's eyes lit up, then she asked with some doubt, "Blade intent, will... but how can one extract will and integrate it into an attack?"

Gao Yang gave him a strange look. He thought it was a very ordinary thing, but he didn't expect You Miao to ask such a question.

Then he realized that the reason he had attached his will to attack was because he had mastered a unique specialty from the beginning: the will of immortality.

It was because of his immortal will that he gradually mastered how to imbue his attacks with his will, thereby amplifying them.

However, this question might have been difficult for Gao Yang to answer a long time ago, but it is no longer a problem for him now.

He extended one palm, then bent four fingers, leaving only the index finger standing straight up in front of him.

"Will, seemingly ethereal and elusive, can be intangible or tangible."

As Gao Yang finished speaking, You Miao saw a dazzling golden light bloom at Gao Yang's fingertips.

Under the golden light, Gao Yang's outstretched index finger was coated with a layer of gold. You Miao's eyes widened as she looked at the golden light emanating from his finger.

You Miao looked at Gao Yang's fingers and asked, "Boss, is this the light of will?"

Gao Yang did not respond. With a thought, the radiance emanating from his fingertips suddenly subsided and quickly condensed into a golden sword light.

"This lightsaber is formed from pure will. If your will is strong enough, you can, like me, create such a tangible attack through your will."

In the realm of will, I call this the solidification of will.

As Gao Yang slowly spoke, the golden sword light at his fingertips began to flicker incessantly.

"The formation of will is not simple. Therefore, before that, you need to try to guide your own will, attach your will, emotions and state to each swing of the sword as much as possible. Over time, you will naturally feel your will begin to respond to your body."

This is the first step, which I call willpower training.

You Miao listened attentively to Gao Yang's explanation with a very serious expression.

"Once your will begins to respond to your body, the next step is to actively stimulate your will while swinging the sword, to mobilize your will as much as possible, and to extend your will toward the weapon in your hand, thereby amplifying the weapon's moves."

This state can be described as the will leaving the body.

After listening carefully, You Miao said, "Haha, boss, I know that. Don't we need to achieve perfect harmony between man and knife first?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Of course, whether it's man and knife becoming one or man and sword becoming one, the ultimate effect is to make the weapon become a part of your body."

But in essence, it is about extending one's will onto the weapon.

To achieve unified control over both weapon and body through willpower is naturally what is known as the unity of man and sword.

"I understand, boss. I will definitely do it." You Miao nodded firmly.

Gao Yang looked at him, then said with a hint of nostalgia, "Do you have a habit of meditation?"

"meditation?"

You Miao was taken aback, then said, "Isn't this what mages like Sister Xiaoyu practice, or what martial monks do? Do players like us need to meditate?"

After You Miao finished speaking, he suddenly realized and said, "The reason why those martial monks have such strong willpower is because of meditation."

Gao Yang looked at You Miao, and when he saw that You Miao was looking over, he said, "That's right, meditation can not only increase your willpower, but also allow you to establish a connection with the weapon in your hand."

Of course, this requires that meditation cannot place the mind entirely in the realm of will.

Instead, you need to devote some of your attention to the weapon in your hand.

If possible, it's best to find a weapon that is strong enough and can accompany you for a long time.

Because this is essentially close to the sword cultivators in our Chinese mythology. Sword cultivators only cultivate themselves and the sword in their hands. There is a saying that "the sword is where the person is, and the person dies when the sword dies."

In reality, this is because if the sword used for meditation is destroyed, the sword cultivator will be unable to channel their will through the sword to amplify their attacks.

This leads to a significant decrease in the sword cultivator's combat strength, making them vulnerable to being killed by the enemy. Over time, this gave rise to the widely circulated saying.

After listening carefully, You Miao said earnestly, "Boss, I've got it. Once my training here is over, I'll go and forge a strong enough sword."

Gao Yang waved his hand casually. As long as he listened, that was enough. As for how to do it or whether to do it at all, that was not his concern.
