It’s a pity that now in Tie Dan’s hands, only the secret refining method of the Child Sword lineage remains, and Yu Hengzi’s arms and legs are severed, leaving only a quarter of his body. It’s really unclear how to use the sword light of other meridians.
As for the Yao Guang lineage, it mainly severs evil to protect the Dao. It was heavily damaged back when it defeated a branch of the Xiaoyao Sect, likely intended to specifically counteract the same path of the Mystic Sect and the Human Clan cultivators.
After all, humans don’t have the thick blood like demons, there’s no need for overly high attack power, and excess damage doesn’t count for DKP, which is pointless. So one can entirely split a stream of sword power into multiple streams for battle.
Like controlling one sword, one treasure, you casually throw out hundreds of swords with a wave of your hand, easily controlling a sword array for a formation attack, using many to fight few, one person besieging a group. Who in this world can withstand it?
Along with setting up formations, cunning strategies, and backboard tricks, it has been the standard tactic of Mystic Sect disciples. Various palm techniques, sword techniques, and saber techniques are all sets after sets, everyone evenly matched and well-matched, each having tactical counters and combat strategies. Without an overwhelming panel advantage, wanting to decide victory or defeat with a single move is just wishful thinking.
So many times, Human Clan cultivators have to engage in protracted battles, seeing who reveals a weakness first, who seizes the opportunity first. Therefore, the more complex and dense the sword array, the better it is to deal with fellow cultivators.
It’s no wonder that someone like Chen Huzi, working in the shadows for the Sword Sect, slaughtered so many heads so effortlessly back when he single-handedly swept Dongzhen Palace. From this, it can be seen that the Yao Guang lineage indeed passes down the true killing sword.
But it’s also a shame that Tie Dan did not fully learn even his own lineage’s sword tradition.
Chen Huzi only taught the basics, and Po Jun Sword Lord only passed on the core. But all these years, the battle experiences of the predecessors of the Sword Sect, understanding and countering each sect’s sword arrays could not be passed down without viewing the Ninth Peak.
However, it doesn’t matter. Although the old stuff can be used, it is also gradually becoming obsolete. What’s more, having been battled over countless years, it has likely been studied by others. In the end, it’s still best to go with the flow, adapt to local conditions, and respond flexibly. Accumulating slowly in the future and evolving new sword array changes is also just as well.
As for the Kaiyang lineage’s sword tradition, Tie Dan was unclear, but since it was taken by the Divine Lord, with the Divine Lord’s magnanimity, it’s impossible not to study it and integrate it into his own sword techniques. So, perhaps the moves of the Blood Talisman Divine Sword are of the same origin as the Nine Yin Sword Sect.
Alright, alright, there’s no point in guessing blindly, putting gold on the faces of those sitting on the Honzan is useless — after all, they are just a bunch of wastrels sitting on a mountain of gold, eating and waiting to die.
So after arranging the Yao Guang Sword Formation and settling the liquor bill, Tie Dan drank the Thunder Cup, controlling the sword to fly south.
That’s right, not pursuing to the north now. Although Tie Dan has cultivated a sword infant, he knows he doesn’t yet have the power to completely kill the Blood God’s Son. Even with improvement, he might only kill a few more Demon Gods, which is of no help in this great catastrophe. Moreover, holding the sword tassel, he calculated a bit and couldn’t find where Xiao Liu was at all. He needs to learn arithmetic...
Cough, cough, in short! To execute the Blood God’s Son! To destroy the Divine Sect! To massacre the Inner Mountain! To reclaim the Sword Sect!
Not enough! A mere Nine Luminaries sword infant! Not enough!
So the key still is that one phrase!
First, cast the sword!
At least condense the Sword Intent! Only then can one fight the Lord, Dharma King, and Demon Ancestor!
The term Sword Intent, Tie Dan knows only a little, and it’s mentioned in the Nine Luminaries Sword Scripture, but there is no cultivation method.
Because the Nine Luminaries only has the method of transforming the body into a sword, in other words, it only corresponds to cultivating to the Divinity Transformation realm.
And Sword Intent is the Enlightenment secret passed down after transforming into a sword, found only hidden within the Nine Yin Tian Shu Peak!
After the Mystic Sect cultivators transform into Divinity, the cultivation methods mostly rely on observing and comprehending the Heavenly Book to gain the Dao. But how many Divinities are there under the sky? How many Heavenly Books? It’s simply unattainable.
Currently, apart from the Blood Talisman from the Divine Sect being exchangeable with merit and frequently updated, perhaps only the Xuan Nu’s Heavenly Book, treasured in the Cloud Platform Sword Pavilion of the Mystic Sect, is compared in the Five Arts at each Cloud Platform Competition and granted to Grandmasters for enlightenment.
And to participate in the competition for the Heavenly Book, having a legitimate Mystic Sect disciple’s identity is the most basic and necessary condition!
Tie Dan currently doesn’t even have a Taoist name and is still just an Outer Mountain Mixed Practitioner! Do you really want him to snatch the Heavenly Book? There’s a limit to madness!
In other words, whether to receive sword tradition, seek justice, or seize the Heavenly Book.
Tie Dan must return to ascend Nine Yin and go to the Cloud Platform!
On the other side, the skills of the Blood God Main Body are well known by Tie Dan!
If truly allowed for that surnamed Lu to regain his former power! Furthermore, with assistance from demons! Achieving great success in Divine Skills! It could lead to great calamity!
Moreover, with the soon-to-emerge Demon Ancestor from the north, even more than one Dharma King of the Divine Sect!
The catastrophe is imminent! Time waits for no one!
Within sixty years! Must reach Divinity Transformation!
