Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 108 Sword Manual (Seeking monthly votes)

By nourishing the sword with qi, as Lu Yang's swordsmanship improved, his sword qi also became more refined, allowing the broken sword to receive more refined nourishment.

At this moment, much of the rust on the broken sword had been removed, and in some places, it even had a sheen. Previously, Lu Yang thought that if this broken sword were to cut a person, it would probably only remove a couple of pieces of rust.

Things are different now; if you cut someone, at least it will hurt.

Sword energy permeated the broken sword. Lu Yang was now extremely diligent in nurturing the sword, nurturing it while walking, sitting, and even sleeping, never letting it out of his hand.

After all, obtaining the Sword Nourishing Technique the first time and the Sword Breathing Technique the second time both allowed Lu Yang's sword cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

The sword also nourishes the person. Lu Yang's sword energy became more and more powerful. The Thunderclap Sword Technique was now in Lu Yang's hands as if it were his own arm, and he was very skilled at it.

Now, not only is Lu Yang adept at using the "Thunderclap from Flat Ground" technique, but he can also use the other two techniques.

Especially when combined with sword breathing, its power can be increased to another level.

However, Lu Yang is now considering whether to invest some of his luck in the Sword Nurturing Technique, as his current proficiency in it is only at the beginner level.

That's right, it's been three years, and I've only just gotten the basics down.

The efficiency of nurturing a sword is limited. Lu Yang always felt that there was still a lot of something left in this broken sword that hadn't been completely expelled.

Accumulating so much fortune is for two reasons: one is for the Golden Sun Opening River Technique, and the other is for the Sword Nourishing Technique.

Without hesitation, Lu Yang immediately used his luck to enhance his abilities.

At that moment, the broken sword in Lu Yang's hand suddenly trembled.

In a moment of enlightenment, Lu Yang immediately started his attack at zero frames, synchronizing his breath with that of the sword.

Suddenly, Lu Yang felt as if he had fallen into an unknown realm.

At the summit of Kunlun, the sea of ​​clouds boils like water, the morning sun shines on the mountain, and the towering peaks pierce the azure sky.

Beneath the azure sky, on the Qingxu Platform, a young man in white sat cross-legged, his long black hair flowing over his shoulders. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, it seemed as if a galaxy was secretly turning and the faint sound of swords could be heard.

Two swords stood to his left and right, one blue and one purple, yet the boy showed no sharpness whatsoever. With each breath he took, the energy of heaven and earth rose and fell with his breath. The three thousand Kunlun disciples below the stage held their breath and focused their attention on the Qingxu Platform, their bodies surrounded by sword energy, trying their best to reach the same state as the boy. Unfortunately, they were far from achieving it.

In such a scene, even the flowing clouds seemed not to dare to disturb it.

The founding patriarch of the Kunlun Sword Sect, who guarded the sword for ten thousand years, had the Daoist name "Qingxuan".

Lu Yang was suddenly startled when the boy's information appeared in his mind.

After a sudden enlightenment, he found himself at the Kunlun Sword Sect! Right when the first patriarch, Qingxuan, was comprehending the Dao!

And him! No, it was her!

Lu Yang was shocked to realize that he was not there in his true form, but had only entered the female sword immortal's perspective.

Before Lu Yang could think any further, he saw the young man had already moved.

With a slight lift of his fingertips, a wisp of shimmering white sword energy emanated from his palm, moving unhurriedly like a spring breeze caressing willows, yet causing the entire Qingxu Platform to radiate a warm, luminous sword glow.

The sword's radiance shone upon the three thousand disciples, causing those who were still clueless about the way of the sword to suddenly seem to gain some understanding.

"You have entered my Kunlun Sect not to cultivate killing and fighting, nor to compete for supremacy, but to cultivate the Kunlun Sword Way."

The voice of the Qingxuan Ancestor was clear and gentle, yet it penetrated the minds of everyone. "People generally believe that a sword is sharp, used to break through all laws with force and to slay demons with its edge."

But I, Kunlun, stand with my sword between heaven and earth, guarding the Great Dao, protecting all living beings, cultivating the heart, not the blade.

The wisp of sword energy slowly swirled in mid-air, transforming into the waxing and waning of the sun and moon, the shapes of mountains and rivers, and the emotions of all living things, ultimately condensing into the eternal ice and snow of Kunlun, touching the hearts of everyone.

"The most important thing about the Kunlun sword is to guard the heart. If the heart is not settled, the sword will be chaotic; if the heart is not upright, the sword will be evil. When you hold the sword, first ask your own heart: Why do you draw the sword? For personal desires? For empty fame? Or to protect the Way, to guard the mountain, or because you cannot bear to see the living suffer? Only when the heart is upright can the sword be upright."

As the voice faded, the sword energy that had been falling on the three thousand disciples suddenly hummed softly, swirling around them. At that moment, the three thousand disciples felt their hearts were clear. Before learning swordsmanship, they all had their own thoughts, just as the Qingxuan Ancestor had said, whether for fame or for profit.

Some disciples may be burdened with deep-seated hatred and come here to learn swordsmanship, not for any other reason than to wield the sword and kill their enemies.

But under the influence of such sword energy, all their thoughts vanished instantly.

It's not that these thoughts disappeared, but rather that they felt such thoughts were an insult to the sword, and dared not be negligent, so they completely abandoned them.

After a few breaths, the sword energy finally dispersed into countless starlight points, landing between the disciple's brows, as if awakening him with divine intervention.

At this moment, Lu Yang had no other thoughts and was completely attracted by the sword path contained in the sword energy.

While his swordsmanship improved rapidly, he gained many more insights. His swordsmanship was introduced to him by Lu Changfeng, and the Thunderclap Sword Technique was almost everything to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's purpose in learning swordsmanship was very simple: to acquire the means of killing and to learn it in order to protect the Dao.

For so long, Lu Yang has adhered to this principle: the Azure Cang Sword only kills enemies and does not harm living beings; it only protects the Dao and does not care about anything else.

Perhaps it is because of this idea that Lu Yang's swordsmanship has always remained superficial. Or perhaps it is not just that Lu Yang's swordsmanship is superficial, but that most sword cultivators in this world can only reach this level after wielding a sword all their lives.

Fortunately, he had the help of the Life-Breaking Pearl; otherwise, with his current level of skill, it would have been impossible for Lu Yang to have made such progress in swordsmanship.

However, Qingxuan's sermon led Lu Yang into the Heavenly Gate.

It is not a sword, but the Way.

"Next, I emphasize the meaning. There are a thousand styles of swords, but the Way is one. My Kunlun sword manual has thousands of styles, from the Thirteen Styles of Flowing Clouds to the Return of Ten Thousand Swords, from the Ice and Snow Sword Technique to the Tai Xu Sword Body, but these are all appearances. The true Way of the Sword is to use the sword to carry the Way, to use the mind to control the sword so that the sword moves with the mind, to unite the mind with the heavens, and to achieve oneness between man and sword. Only then can one be a Kunlun sword cultivator."

Qingxuan raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, as if he saw the vicissitudes of eternity: "Cultivators outside seek the speed, the ferocity, and the killing power of the sword. We Kunlun seek the stability, the righteousness, and the tranquility of the sword. When it is still, it is still; when it moves, it is in harmony with the breath of heaven and earth. When it is silent, it is still; when it sings, it is the clear sound of the Great Dao."

"Remember this:"

A sword can slay demons, but not the innocent;

A sword can defeat an enemy, but it cannot destroy one's own heart;

Swords may be used to fight for sharpness, but not for violence.

My Kunlun Sword stands in this world to quell chaos and protect the peace of the Three Realms, not for violence or to bring calamity upon the common people for personal gain.

With a clasp of his palms, the myriad sword energies vanished, and the world returned to tranquility.

"Today I convey to you a sword decree, which you shall remember for generations to come:"

Kunlun has a sword, but it is not used against the common people, only against evil spirits;

Kunlun has its principles: do not chase after fleeting pleasures, but only uphold your original aspirations.

"To prove the Way with the sword, to protect the mountain with the heart—this is the eternal sword Way of Kunlun."

As soon as the words were spoken, the sword on Qingxu Platform rang out, shaking the heavens. The sea of ​​clouds surged and formed the shape of a sword, and all the peaks responded in unison.

The disciples below the stage all kowtowed, their sword hearts clear and their foundations solidified.

So this is the Kunlun Sword Way. Lu Yang suddenly felt that the way of the sword should be like this. Sword cultivators in the world wield swords to kill enemies, but what they seek is not the Way, but just the sword. If they regard the sword as a means, how can they comprehend the spirit of the sword!

Kunlun Swordsmanship!

As Lu Yang slowly withdrew from his moment of enlightenment, he was deeply moved by the grandeur of the Qingxuan Sword Dao and couldn't help but take one last look. But this one look left Lu Yang utterly astonished.

Because Qingxuan was also looking at him, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Perhaps Qingxuan wasn't looking at him, but at her.

Lu Yang had no time to imagine too much. At this moment, Lu Yang had already exited the state of enlightenment and stood by the spirit field. The aura on Lu Yang's body fluctuated, and a wisp of sword energy swirled around Lu Yang's body before finally entering between Lu Yang's eyebrows.

The Kunlun Sword Manual!

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a sword scripture appeared faintly, greatly surprising Lu Yang. He had actually received this supreme inheritance from Kunlun's Daoist teachings.

Lu Yang used his spiritual sense to peruse the Kunlun Sword Manual. This manual contained the true meaning of Kunlun and revealed the first two levels of the Kunlun Sword Dao, which corresponded precisely to the methods of sword type and sword embryo.

Sword type is actually Qi cultivation, and sword embryo is foundation building.

Qi cultivators cultivate spiritual seeds, sword cultivators cultivate sword seeds; qi cultivators build the foundation of the Dao, sword cultivators forge the sword embryo; the path of cultivation leads to the same destination, though different.

However, the path of sword cultivation is extremely rare in the entire Tiannan region, and the Kunlun Sword Manual that Lu Yang has obtained is probably unique in the entire Tiannan region, and even the Xuanqing Sword Sect may not be able to compare.

However, it also costs a lot.

After mastering the basic spiritual plant techniques and the Mingwang Fist, Lu Yang originally had about 250 years of good fortune left. Now, however, most of it has been gone, leaving him with only 50 years.

However, it's all worth it.

Let alone two hundred years of good fortune, if others knew they could obtain such a technique, they would probably be willing to give up two hundred years of their lifespan.

Lu Yang put aside his many thoughts and focused his gaze on the Golden Sun Opening River Technique he was practicing.

Well, Lu Yang's enlightenment was not just talk. Now, he has almost reached the minor mastery level of the Kunlun Sword Scripture's sword type.

Therefore, these two hundred years of enlightenment have truly been worthwhile.

Comparing goods is the best policy. Lu Yang thought he had mastered the Golden Sun River Opening Technique, and that his skill level in the Western Four Counties was quite good. He was quite satisfied.

However, compared to the Kunlun Sword Manual, the Golden Sun Opening River Technique is truly just a roadside dump.

Without much hesitation, Lu Yang, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, had no reason to hesitate, as he could still switch to the Supreme Sword Scripture.

Woof woof woof————

Finally, Shi Ri washed up and rushed over. Lu Yang stopped him from lunging at him, saying, "Protect me."

Ah!

Another Dharma protector!

I felt like I needed to pee again. I was protecting the Dharma at that time, and I ended up peeing on it. I just finished my cultivation, so why am I cultivating again?

However, Lu Yang didn't give Shi Ri a chance to think too much and had already started to cultivate his technique.

Another benefit of Kunlun's enlightenment is that it allows Lu Yang to deepen his understanding of the Sword Nourishing Technique and Sword Breathing.

The Sword Nourishing Technique has been partially mastered, as has the Sword Breathing Technique.

At that moment, the broken sword rested on Lu Yang's lap, and in an instant, it breathed the same air as the sword.

The Kunlun Sword Scripture lingered in Lu Yang's mind, and his spiritual energy surged. He immediately began to switch cultivation methods. With the foundation of his Kunlun Dao enlightenment, switching cultivation methods was not difficult for Lu Yang at the moment.

Especially with the help of Broken Sword, it is even easier.

The spiritual energy within him began to transform along the trajectory of the Kunlun Sword Scripture, gradually turning into wisps of sword energy.
