Elven cultivators

The appointment of a clan chief is naturally not something that can be accomplished with just a few words.

Afterwards, a ceremony will be held to inaugurate the clan chief, and friendly forces will be invited to participate.

It also serves as a public announcement of the birth of a new clan leader.

However, the clan still has many unresolved issues to deal with, and it is estimated that the ceremony will not be held until some time later.

Anton naturally had no objection to this.

The Silvermoon Clan has now replaced Krestoron City as the dominant power in the Eldron Plains, and they need a formal occasion to announce this fact and establish their position.

It also gives other forces an opportunity to express their own attitudes.

After the meeting, Andong left the Eternal Hall.

Roman and Eleanor followed behind him.

"Anton, how does it feel to become the clan leader?" Roman asked with a chuckle.

Anton smiled without saying a word.

Although he wasn't the clan chief before, he was essentially the clan's decision-maker most of the time.

Now it's just a matter of officially confirming their status.

"Roman," Eleanor reminded him, "you should call him Chief from now on."

Roman scratched his cheek and said, "But I still think 'Anton' sounds better."

Eleanor looked helpless.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard?" Roman suddenly remembered something, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Anton. "The people outside have given you a title: 'Fallen Dragon Sword Saint'!"

"The Meteor Dragon Sword Saint..." Anton's expression was somewhat subtle.

"What's wrong? You don't like it?" Roman asked.

"Not exactly." Anton shook his head, offering no further explanation.

If he had to choose, he would prefer the title "Sword Immortal".

Unfortunately, the people of Dawn Continent do not know the meaning of "immortal," so they naturally wouldn't think of it when choosing nicknames.

……

When we returned to the treehouse, dusk had already fallen.

The fireflies of the Eternal Tree lit up one after another outside the window, like hanging silver lanterns swaying gently in the night breeze, casting a soft glow into the room.

Anton sat down in the quiet room and summoned the sword pellet.

The dark golden pill floated above the palm of the hand, slowly rotating.

After absorbing the essence of Isaac's flesh and blood, the sword pellet also absorbed the dragon blood essence that Eleanor had refined with the Devouring Yuan Gourd during the war. The mysterious light on its surface was significantly more intense than when it first broke through.

Kenmaru's ego consciousness has become clearer than before.

That hazy, newborn-like perception is slowly growing in a more mature direction.

When you concentrate on sensing, you can also catch a hint of "desire" in the feedback from the sword pellet.

It is eager for further improvement.

Anton smiled slightly, put the sword pellet back into his dantian, and began to think about his next move.

The Golden Elixir has been formed, but the path of cultivation is still long and cannot be relaxed.

I must continue to cultivate myself diligently in the future.

First is Kendo.

Although one should cultivate the three paths of killing, extreme, and transformation, there should be a distinction between primary and secondary paths.

It takes the sword as its body and uses the two paths of killing and extreme as its application.

The wonder of sword transformation lies in its ability to transform into countless forms, encompassing all things.

It is an extremely open platform that can accommodate different sword philosophies to coexist within its framework.

Instead of starting from scratch and rebuilding two separate paths, Anton incorporated the essence of the Killing Sword's "severance" and the Extreme Sword's "swiftness" as new dimensions into the existing system of light separation and combination.

While the sheer number of sword lights was overwhelming, each one possessed both the sharpness to annihilate life and the speed to arrive in an instant.

It sounds simple, but it's extremely difficult to do.

The art of splitting and combining sword light is extremely demanding on mental and magical power. To simultaneously integrate two different sword philosophies into each of the resulting sword lights is a tremendous test of a sword cultivator's comprehension, spiritual awareness, and control over magical power.

However, if successful, the power of the flying sword technique will inevitably be greatly enhanced.

By then, each sword beam will possess the attack power equivalent to that of a legendary swordsman.

The sixty-four sword lights represent sixty-four legendary sword saints.

The 128 sword lights represent the 128 legendary sword saints.

In the world of legends, who can stand against them?

Anton opened the Great Dao Jade Slip and began to peruse the notes and fragments of sword discussions left by sword cultivators of past generations.

Although the Great Dao Jade Slip does not contain a complete cultivation method for "cultivating the three paths simultaneously," it does contain a large number of notes, fragments of sword debates, and fusion methods left by sword cultivators throughout the ages, which can be of great help to him.

For example, "Kendo Samadhi".

This is a notebook left by an unnamed swordsman, detailing his insights into fusing three different sword styles into one.

The so-called "Samadhi" refers to both three levels of swordsmanship and three levels of mental cultivation.

The three sword styles may seem to go in different directions, but in fact they lead to the same goal.

When cultivation reaches its deepest level, there is transformation within killing, extreme within transformation, and killing within extreme; they are all one.

However, this nameless swordsman had limited talent and was unable to truly integrate the three paths throughout his life, leaving behind only this notebook for future generations to study.

Another example is "The Theory of the Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source".

It is said to have been created by a grandmaster of swordsmanship in his later years.

The opening statement reads: "There are countless ways of the sword, but they all ultimately lead to the same path."

This grandmaster's level of understanding far surpasses that of the author of "Sword Dao Samadhi".

In his view, the three paths of transformation, killing, and extreme are merely three branches that have sprouted from the great tree of swordsmanship.

Deep roots lead to lush branches, and a firm foundation ensures flourishing leaves.

Those who practice swordsmanship should not be fixated on the differences between branches, but should trace back to the source and comprehend the essence of the way of the sword.

Only by integrating the essence of these three can one reach a higher realm beyond "one sword to break all laws"—the sword of the heart.

Anton dug out a large number of notes and notes, intending to study them carefully later.

"I also have supernatural powers; I must continue to cultivate them."

There are three thousand great paths and countless supernatural powers.

A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to cultivate all supernatural abilities to a high level.

Trying to do too much at once will only result in mastering nothing.

Therefore, when cultivators choose supernatural abilities, they often make choices based on their own spiritual root attributes, the characteristics of their cultivation methods, and their combat style, specializing in a few and striving to master them.

However, Anton's situation is rather special.

The Primordial Returning to the Source Technique he cultivated encompassed the Five Elements, and he could cultivate almost all supernatural powers.

Moreover, his lifespan is longer than that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, giving him more time.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to cultivate five supernatural powers with the five elements attributes.

Only when all five elements are present can they complement his Primordial Returning to the Source Technique and unleash its maximum power.

Secondly, it will help him comprehend the Five Elements Law and go further on the path of cultivation.

The three supernatural abilities he comprehended will greatly benefit his future sword cultivation.

To reach the pinnacle of the Way of the Sword and master the ultimate technique of "One Sword Transforms into Myriad Laws," one must first comprehend a sufficient number of laws.

Anton plans to start by mastering the five elements of supernatural powers.

The water-related supernatural power already has the Northern Darkness True Water, which is readily available.

Next, all you need to do is continue your training in the Dark Region.

The environment there is cold and damp, with abundant water-related spiritual energy, making it an ideal place to cultivate the Northern Darkness True Water.

After carefully selecting from the remaining four options in the Great Dao Jade Slip, Anton made his decision.

First is the metal supernatural power.

He chose a protective divine power called Yuan Yi Zhen Gang.

Gold is the hardest and sharpest metal, and cannot be destroyed by any law.

The Yuan Yi Zhen Gang is based on the metal element. Cultivators condense an invisible barrier of extremely strong and sharp energy on their body surface to resist external attacks.

When one masters the art to a high level, even mystical weapons will find it difficult to break through the defenses.

This supernatural ability has a far stronger defensive capability than the Fire Shield.

Secondly, there are the supernatural powers associated with the wood element.

Anton chose a restorative supernatural power called the Void One Life Qi.

This supernatural ability allows one to quickly restore their vitality by consuming magical power.

Furthermore, as long as one still possesses a breath of vital energy, even if one's limbs are torn to pieces, one can use supernatural powers to pull them back. As long as they can be restored within a short time, one can remain unharmed and alive, just as before.

It can be described as a life-saving skill.

As for fire-related supernatural powers, Anton chose the Six Ding Divine Fire.

This supernatural power can draw upon the power of the six kinds of Ding Fire in the world, using divine consciousness as the guide and magical power as the fuel, transforming the formless into the tangible.

Its advantage lies in its powerful strength and its strong ability to suppress evil spirits and ghosts.

Considering that we will be exploring the Dark Regions next, the Six Ding Divine Fire may play a significant role.

Furthermore, this supernatural power can also restrain the undead when a future cataclysmic disaster breaks out, showing great potential.

For his final earth-elemental divine power, Anton chose the Xuanhuang Dragon-Capturing Hand.

Xuanhuang is the true color of heaven and earth, and the manifestation of the virtue of earth.

The sky is dark and the earth is yellow. This supernatural power corresponds to the celestial phenomena above and the earth's veins below, thus possessing both the dual characteristics of "profoundness" and "abundance".

It can be as overwhelming as a mountain, using force to overcome skill, or as encompassing as the earth, trapping all things.

When this supernatural power is cultivated to its deepest level, it can shatter mountains and break peaks with a single grab, and capture dragons and bind phoenixes with a single grasp.

Its power is absolutely incredible!

More importantly, by mastering the Xuanhuang Dragon-Capturing Hand, one can also integrate the power of the five elements in the future to cultivate a higher-level divine power, the "Tai Xuan Yi Qi Five Elements Great Handprint".

The upward mobility channels are clear.

In summary, these five supernatural abilities each have their own strengths, covering multiple aspects such as offense, defense, recovery, and control, making them quite comprehensive.

Once he fully masters these five supernatural abilities, his combat strength and combat agility will experience a qualitative leap.

In addition to the Five Elements Divine Power, Anton also selected a spatial divine power—the Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve.

The Great Luo encompasses everything and accepts all things.

The "Heavenly Sleeve" refers to a sleeve that contains the heavens and the universe.

Those who cultivate this supernatural power can contain all laws with one sleeve, gather all things with one sleeve, trap all enemies with one sleeve, and hide heaven and earth with one sleeve.

It is said that when practiced to its extreme, it can control rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, and peaks.

"Once I master the Great Luo Heavenly Sleeve, I shouldn't have to worry about not having enough storage space for my magic artifacts anymore."

Anton smiled with satisfaction.

After sorting out the supernatural powers he needed to cultivate, Anton then turned his attention to another matter.

He had been thinking about how to give the clan's spellcasters a cultivation method that could allow them to improve quickly, just like the warriors.

He already had some ideas before the war with Cresol Dragon City broke out.

The experience of condensing the golden core further refined his ideas.

The essence of the Golden Elixir is, in the final analysis, the compression, condensation, and solidification of one's true essence, vital energy, and spirit to form an "energy core".

This core is not only a storage device for energy, but also a bridge for cultivators to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth.

According to this theory, could a spellcaster also compress magic power and spirit to form an energy core, thereby comprehending the laws?

Of course, without accumulating an understanding of the laws, it would be difficult for black iron and silver rank spellcasters to do this.

Then you can try to lower the difficulty.

For example, when compressing magic power and spirit, the magic power circuit is the core.

With the magic loop as the central point, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, the function of the magic circuit is to transform the energy of heaven and earth into magic power and compress it into an energy core. In essence, it is to construct an enhanced version of the magic circuit.

Moreover, the energy core has a higher efficiency in converting magic power and can also increase magic power density.

Later-stage practitioners can also more easily comprehend the laws by using the energy core.

The benefits are numerous.

This practice is similar to the "elixir cultivation method" in the cultivation system.

Unlike the power inheritance, it does not require completely abandoning the original cultivation system and starting from scratch to cultivate a completely new technique.

The Alchemy Cultivation Method still retains the shadow of the cultivation system of the Dawn Continent. The caster does not need to give up the existing magical power accumulation and spell knowledge, but rather deepens and sublimates on this basis.

This greatly lowers the barrier to conversion, making it more acceptable to spellcasters.

Anton thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

Once the cultivation method is successfully researched, the spellcasters in the clan will have a way to quickly improve their strength.

The Third Elder, in particular, is only one step away from awakening the power of the laws.

If he can successfully condense the energy core, he estimates that he will be able to take this step very soon.

"I'll take a look at it when I have some free time."

After sorting things out, Anton realized that he had more to do than he had expected.

Refining elixirs, cultivating swordsmanship and supernatural powers, researching elixir cultivation methods, modifying demonic stones, exploring ley line nodes...

Each of these tasks requires a significant investment of time and effort.

In other words, as the clan leader, he didn't need to handle miscellaneous tasks; everything was left to the assistant team headed by Eleanor. Otherwise, he would be so busy he wouldn't have time to rest.
