Although the Scarlet-Eyed Spirit Sword had given birth to a sword embryo, it had yet to completely transform into a sword spirit.
Qin Lang also wanted to provide the Scarlet-Eyed Spirit Sword with a Heavenly Essence Pill, but the sword embryo actually rejected Qin Lang's good intentions. The reason was that the sword embryo had already formed and it needed to rely on its own essence, Qi, and spirit to grow. It could not blindly rely on external forces, otherwise its Sword Dao would not be pure, and the sword spirit that was born would not be pure either.
Since this was the Scarlet-Eyed Spirit Sword's own choice, Qin Lang naturally would not do anything unnecessary.
Now that the Scarlet-Eyed Spirit Sword's sword embryo had formed, its understanding of the Sword Dao had naturally reached a higher level. Now, Qin Lang was also prepared to listen to some things about the Sword Dao from it.
"You were injured by a flying sword before?"
Once the sword embryo was formed, it was indeed a lot more powerful. It even sensed that Qin Lang had been injured by a flying sword, but it did not seem to have sensed it before.
"Yes, I was injured by a Golden Core cultivator, but my injury has already healed. How did you sense it?" Qin Lang could not help but be curious.
"Although your injury has already healed, the sword intent of the opponent's flying sword is still there."
"Sword intent?" Qin Lang was even more surprised, "Why can't I feel it? If others feel the remnant sword intent on my body, doesn't that mean that I might be tracked? "
"That's not possible. Unless it is a sword spirit, it is very difficult to sense this remnant sword intent. " The sword embryo Qin Lang said, "The attacks of a cultivator, whether it is a fist or a flying sword attack, will burst forth with sword intent. This is because cultivators pay particular attention to the cultivation of both the person and the weapon. In other words, the cultivator and the magical weapon are almost a single entity, which is completely different from martial arts practitioners."
"Please elaborate." Qin Lang used a tone of inquiry to ask.
"Martial arts practitioners can also use swords, but to martial arts practitioners, the sword is only a tool, a weapon, right?"
"Yes."
"To cultivators, the flying sword is not only a weapon, but also a part of the body. This is because many of the flying swords and magical weapons of cultivators are refined with their own blood essence and soul. Therefore, martial artists could only use swords, while cultivators could control swords. A cultivator's flying sword was like an extension of their body, an extension of the strongest part of their body. However, the weakness of cultivators has also been revealed. "
"Cultivators' bodies aren't strong enough, right?" Qin Lang had long since noticed the weakness of cultivators.
"Yes." The sword embryo had achieved it. "Cultivators pursue the advancement of their realms excessively and rarely pay attention to the training of their bodies. This is because the higher their realms, the more power they can naturally obtain. Then, they can inject this power into their flying swords and release it. With an incomparably tyrannical flying sword, there's naturally no need to spend too much time tempering your body, don't you think? "
"Indeed." Qin Lang nodded and said, "A flying sword in hand is indeed much stronger than a physical body. However, this is also the reason why I want to consult you. As the saying goes, 'everyone has their shortcomings and their strengths'. Although the flying swords used by Cultivators are powerful, they also have their disadvantages, right? "
"Hmm … disadvantages, there are indeed disadvantages." The sword embryo seemed to have sunk into deep thought. After a while, it said, "Although the flying sword is powerful, because a cultivator's flying sword is closely related to the cultivator himself, once the flying sword is damaged, the cultivator himself will also be affected. Especially if the natal magic treasure is damaged, the damage will be even greater. In addition, the biggest difference between using a sword and controlling a sword is that a martial artist uses his strength to wield the sword, while a cultivator uses his mind to control the sword. Therefore, almost every cultivator is an expert in the Sword Dao because they can maintain the state of being one with the sword at any time. "
"Controlling the sword with one's mind …" Qin Lang seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, Qin Lang suddenly said, "Even if one controls the sword with one's mind, there must be a connection between the two. Once this connection is severed, what will happen?"
Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses. Right now, Qin Lang had already grasped the crux of the matter. Although a flying sword could behead a person from a thousand steps away, there was definitely a connection between the cultivator and the flying sword. It was as if there was an invisible "thread" connecting the two. Once this thread was cut, the flying sword would be like a remote control airplane that had lost control; it would be impossible to control!
However, could the connection between the cultivator and the flying sword be severed?
Regarding this question, Qin Lang needed the sword embryo to answer it.
However, at this time, the Young Monk Dan Ling also appeared. It seemed to be very interested in this question.
"You guessed correctly. This is the true weakness of a cultivator. Although the flying sword is very powerful, if the connection between the cultivator and the flying sword is severed, it is equivalent to losing an arm, and the cultivator's strength will be greatly reduced. Moreover, if the flying sword is damaged, the cultivator himself will also be affected. However, it is very difficult to sever the connection between the cultivator and the flying sword! "If the sword embryo used the word 'difficult' to describe the difficulty, it was naturally very difficult.
After pondering for a while, Qin Lang also understood the difficulty involved. The flying sword was too fast, and it was very likely that the cultivator would die before the connection between the flying sword and the cultivator could be severed. Secondly, the trajectory of the flying sword was very difficult to figure out. Even if there was an invisible 'thread' between the flying sword and the cultivator, it would be very difficult to find the specific location of this' thread '. Thirdly, the cultivator was not stupid and would not allow the connection between him and the flying sword to be severed so easily.
"Actually, it is not very meaningful to sever the connection between the cultivator and the flying sword." At this time, the sword embryo poured cold water on Qin Lang. "Although your idea is very good, it can only be used on those flying swords that do not have a sword spirit. Once a flying sword has a sword spirit, even if the connection between it and its master is severed, the sword spirit can still control the flying sword to attack and defend. Therefore, in the face of a flying sword magic treasure at the spirit level, your idea will not work. "
"Then how can I restrain the cultivator's flying sword?" Qin Lang was not discouraged.
"Fight the sword with the sword." The sword embryo said, "If your swordsmanship is higher than the cultivator's, you will naturally be able to restrain the opponent's flying sword."
"I am not good at swordsmanship." Qin Lang said, "Besides, as you said just now, the cultivator and the flying sword can maintain the state of 'One with the Sword' at any time. This is a very brilliant swordsmanship, and it has an innate advantage. My advantage is in martial arts, but in terms of swordsmanship, I am still lacking."
"That's right. The cultivator can maintain the state of 'One with the Sword' at any time. Therefore, cultivators are born to see experts. However, in terms of swordsmanship, 'One with the Sword' is only the first level of swordsmanship. It can only be regarded as the door of swordsmanship. Therefore, if you study swordsmanship, you will definitely have a chance to surpass the cultivator. "
