"Sword in the heart …" The dignified Huang Zheng's voice sounded in his mind. In that instant, Chu Mu understood.
The next realm after becoming one with the sword: Sword in the heart.
Although the realm of becoming one with the sword sounded profound, in the eyes of a true sword expert, it was merely the beginning, stopping at the surface level. It could also be said that it was the peak of the surface level.
Sword in the heart, on the other hand, was a higher realm of sword skills, a sublimation from the outside to the inside.
The complete name of the realm of Sword in the heart was Sword in the heart, no sword in the hand. In other words, as long as there was a sword in the heart, even if there was no sword in the hand, one could still release the terrifying power of the sword.
Since ancient times, how many sword experts had been stuck at the realm of Sword in the world, unable to break through in their lifetime?
One external, one internal, the difference between the two realms was obvious.
Chu Mu was surrounded by countless rays of sword qi, sharp and sharp, cutting through the space around him as if it was about to be torn apart.
In the next moment, these sharp rays of sword qi pierced into Chu Mu's body, entering through every pore on his body.
Inside his spiritual world, the two tyrannical top highgod rank sword intents also released a shocking sharpness, powerful fluctuations of will pierced through Huang Xiaolong's body.
The top highgod rank Imperishable Sword Intent merged with the top highgod rank ordinary sword intent. In that instant, there seemed to be signs of surpassing the peak highgod rank sword intent.
With a new sword intent as the commander, it controlled all the power. The countless sharp sword auras that entered Chu Mu's body seemed to have been summoned and unified. They all surged towards his heart and gathered there.
A sword shadow condensed in Huang Xiaolong's heart. As the sharp rays of sword qi entered his heart, the sword shadow seemed to be hammered and tempered a thousand times, becoming more and more solid.
In the end, the supreme sword intent pierced through time and space, descending on the materialized sword shadow, merging with it. A bright light flashed, and the sharp rays of sword qi converged. The materialized sword shadow seemed to have turned into a real sword, emitting a metallic luster.
The silver sword in Huang Xiaolong's heart was cold and sharp, shining in all directions.
From inside to outside, Chu Mu's body exuded a shocking sharpness, as if he was a divine sword unsheathed, exuding its sharpness without restraint.
There was a sword in his heart!
Chu Mu came to his senses. Suddenly, his understanding of swordsmanship leaped to a whole new level. Everything that he didn't understand in the past was now clear to him. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to see the blue sky after clearing the clouds.
Looking around, he realized that the environment gave him a different feeling. It was as if it had been cleansed and became clearer. Looking at Bai Ling, she was still mysterious and unfathomable, but there seemed to be a layer missing, making her more real.
"You really didn't disappoint me." Bai Ling smiled.
"Senior, please advise me." Chu Mu said respectfully to Bai Ling, full of fighting spirit. Now that he had made a breakthrough in his swordsmanship, his attainments in swordsmanship had increased by leaps and bounds.
Chu Mu felt that with his current level, even if he hadn't completely consolidated it, he was much stronger than before. He could definitely fight Bai Ling. Even if he wasn't a match for her, he wouldn't lose so easily.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Then be careful, I'm going to attack."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Mu saw Bai Ling wave her hand. A snow-white Sword Light streaked across the sky.
The Sword Light wasn't sharp at all. Instead, it had a kind of smoothness to it, as if it was a whole. There was no beginning or end, and there were no flaws. The speed of the Sword Light didn't seem to be fast at all.
However, Chu Mu didn't know why, but he couldn't react. He could only watch as the Sword Light leisurely streaked across the sky, crossing a distance of a few meters and piercing towards his forehead.
A heavy feeling of powerlessness spread throughout his body. This made Chu Mu deeply understand what it meant to have the will but not the strength.
Now, his vision and his six senses could all capture this Sword Light. However, his body seemed to have stiffened and separated from his consciousness. He couldn't control it and couldn't react in time.
One sword, instant kill!
After leaving the Sword Sect Spiritual Mark, Chu Mu couldn't be more depressed in the secret cultivation room.
His sword technique had broken through to a whole new level, but he still lost. Losing was within his expectations, but just like before, he was instantly killed by a sword. This kind of result was too unexpected. Chu Mu couldn't accept it for a while.
Discouraged, this was the portrayal of Chu Mu's current state.
The difference was just too great.
Fortunately, his will had always been firm and his sword intent was extraordinary. However, it still took him some time to eliminate these negative emotions. Otherwise, if this continued for a long time, it would only affect his mind.
"There's a huge difference between having a sword in the heart and becoming one with the sword. It's like the difference between the Nirvana Realm and the Eternal Realm. However, it's extremely difficult to raise the level of sword technique. In a short period of time, I can't raise the level of having a sword in the heart. Defeating Bai Ling is an extravagant hope," Chu Mu thought to himself.
Bai Ling was the examiner of the fifth test, and perhaps the last test. According to his previous experience, defeating Bai Ling was the only way to pass the test and unlock the secret of the Sword Sect Spiritual Mark.
In addition to being dispirited, Chu Mu was also a little excited. The difficulty of the test meant that the secret of the Sword Sect Spiritual Mark was extremely shocking.
At that time, after defeating Bai Ling and unlocking the secret of the Sword Sect Spiritual Mark, there might be a huge harvest. Thinking of this, Chu Mu was even more motivated.
The current plan was to first consolidate the state of having a sword in the heart. Now that he had just broken through, his thoughts and consciousness had been greatly improved. There was a slight feeling of being separated from his body. He had to refine it and achieve synchronization. Only then would the awkward situation of being unable to react in time like before occur.
The slightest delay was fatal in a battle between powerhouses.
The major breakthrough in the level of sword technique was extremely important to Chu Mu. It allowed his perception, understanding and mastery of the sword to rise to a whole new level. This kind of improvement was extremely shocking.
With the sword in his hand, there was an indescribable feeling. It was as if the sword grew from his heart. It was even more exquisite than the extension of his arm.
Chu Mu released his hand, but the sword did not fall. Instead, it floated in front of him.
He did not use Sword Origin, nor did he use his Spiritual Sense. He only relied on the feeling in his heart. The sword floated in the air just like that.
With a thought, the sword slowly revolved around Chu Mu. It was somewhat stiff and rough. However, before this, Chu Mu could not do this.
Although this method did not have much power, it displayed Chu Mu's absolute control of the sword.
Holding the sword in his hand again, Xiao Chen began to practice his sword technique. It was still a basic sword technique, but when he practiced it now, the feeling was completely different. It was a deeper level, straight to the essence. Every strike seemed ordinary, but it contained shocking power. Just a simple stab seemed to be able to pierce through the void.
Chu Mu immersed himself in it, forgetting everything as he continuously practiced the sword.
The process of practicing the sword was also the process of familiarizing himself with the new level. It allowed his body and consciousness to synchronize and coordinate again.
This time, the practice lasted for three days and three nights. Only then did Chu Mu stop. His thoughts were flowing like a spring. His understanding of the sword technique seemed to have improved again. The sharpness on his body was even stronger.
Now, Chu Mu's level of sword technique could be said to be at the entry level of having a sword in his heart. He had not completely consolidated it yet.
This level had already surpassed the vast majority of Saint experts. Even some high level Sword Saints might not be able to match Chu Mu in terms of sword technique.
At this point, Chu Mu had a deeper understanding. He originally thought that he had comprehended the heart of the sword, but now he understood that the heart of the sword was only on the surface level. It was just an illusory saying. Now, with a sword in his heart, it was the heart of the sword, the true heart of the sword.
After practicing the sword for three days and three nights, Chu Mu did not leave the secret cultivation room. Instead, he meditated on other sword techniques. For example, the various sword techniques that he had practiced before, such as Fierce Wind Fast Sword, Autumn Water Long Sky, and so on, had not been used for a long time. Now that he had meditated on them, they had completely surpassed their original level and reached an amazing level.
Chu Mu meditated on the Ancient Archaic Sword Technique again. He was pleasantly surprised to find that he had easily grasped the essence of the Ancient Archaic Sword Technique. It did not take long for him to completely understand the Ancient Archaic Sword Technique and see the pros and cons of it.
In just three days, Chu Mu had modified the drawbacks of the Ancient Archaic Sword Technique and improved it. Unknowingly, the new Ancient Archaic Sword Technique had become stronger and reached the high level of the heaven level.
Such a change made Chu Mu extremely excited.
The realm of having a sword in the heart was indeed very terrifying.
"Perhaps, I can create my own sword technique …" An idea suddenly jumped out of his mind like a seed, taking root and growing out of control.
Chu Mu immediately thought about the feasibility of creating his own sword technique. It was necessary to create his own sword technique. However, his current accumulation was far from enough.
Indeed, with Chu Mu's current attainments and realm, it was not difficult to create one or even several sword techniques. However, the sword techniques that he created would not be the perfect sword technique in his mind.
He needed more comprehension, more experience, and more knowledge to be able to create the perfect sword technique in his mind. Only then would he be able to create the most suitable sword technique for himself.
To achieve that step, it would take a lot of time and energy. However, Chu Mu was willing to pay for it because he felt that if he could succeed, then his strength would skyrocket to a point that would surprise even himself.
No one would dislike more powerful strength without any sequelae. That was the lifelong pursuit of all cultivators.
Although he could not create the perfect sword technique in his mind now, it did not prevent Chu Mu from creating a few sword techniques to play with. He could also treat it as practice and prepare to create the perfect sword technique in the future.
Immediately, Chu Mu consciously created the sword techniques according to the various sword techniques that he had cultivated and seen, as well as the sword techniques stored in the Real Sword Sect. Under the control of sword intent and the support of the realm of the sword in the heart, he consciously created them.
He took the essence and removed the dross, coordinated and integrated it, and tried it himself. Gradually, he perfected it.
From beginning to end, Chu Mu had spent a total of half a month to create four sword techniques. Moreover, he had perfected them to the greatest extent possible, reaching the limits of what he could currently achieve.
Of course, since Chu Mu was able to upgrade the Ancient Archaic Sword Technique from the middle level of the heaven level to the high level of the heaven level, the four sword techniques that he created were flawless in the eyes of most sword saints. They could be called perfect.
