So, there was such a principle. This was an eye-opener for Xiao Chen. However, did this prove that the sword was the most orthodox of all weapons?
Liu Ruyue continued, "There are many states in the sword that cannot be applied to the saber. Of course, there are many unique states in Saber Techniques. However, these are too far away for us. There is no need to consider them for now."
There were other states in the saber. This was the first time Xiao Chen heard of this. However, what Liu Ruyue said was right. He did not even have a clue about Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It. Thinking about his own state was indeed too far away.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I understand the principle behind this. Elder Sister Ruyue, let's begin. How do I enter the first state?"
Liu Ruyue smiled somewhat helplessly. She looked very charming as she said, "Actually, I do not know how to enter it either. Back then, when I was practicing with the saber, I entered that state. Such experience will not be of much help to you.
"That is why when you suggested teaching you Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, I had no way of teaching you. These days, I have been thinking about how to teach you, how to let you learn Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It."
Xiao Chen felt depressed in his heart. After spending so much effort, could it be that in the end, she would just say that she comprehended it on her own? That would be as good as not having it at all.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyue's next words dispelled his suspicions. This allowed him to not feel too depressed.
"Since ancient times, states have always been comprehended by oneself. There has never been a precedent of someone trying to achieve it with the help of others. I have thought of some methods, but I am not very confident. You have to be mentally prepared. "
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "It does not matter. Having little confidence is better than having no confidence at all. It is better to do it. If it is not possible, I will not force it."
Liu Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "In that case, I can rest assured. The girl in the Lunar Shadow Saber should be very important to you. Otherwise, you would not be willing to delay your cultivation to wake her up."
Ao Jiao's appearance appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. He remembered the promise he made to the Thunder King. Xiao Chen said very seriously, "It is very important, very important. Elder Sister Ruyue, you woke her up previously. Can this method still be used?"
The last time they fought against Song Que, Liu Ruyue had successfully awakened Ao Jiao. If she really had a way to completely make Ao Jiao fantasize, then Xiao Chen would not have to worry about it.
Liu Ruyue smiled and said, "That won't do. After all, that is not my saber. Furthermore, I only managed to achieve this effect after I forcefully used Spirit Communication. If you want to truly awaken it, you will have to rely on yourself."
In the training field of Qingyun Peak.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He did not use any Essence and just sat there quietly. His mind was blank and he did not think about anything.
Around him, five hundred long sabers were inserted into the ground in a circle around him. Faintly, a faint light was flickering on each of the long sabers. From time to time, they would spit out a cold glint.
When one blinked, an illusion of ten thousand horses galloping and a thousand soldiers roaring appeared in their minds. It was very majestic, as though it was happening right before their eyes. These five hundred sabers all had their own origins.
The Lunar Shadow Saber, still in its scabbard, lay quietly beside Xiao Chen. Among the five hundred sabers, it looked very ordinary, not eye-catching at all.
Liu Ruyue stood quietly at the side and looked at Xiao Chen, who was sitting cross-legged. She revealed a gentle smile and muttered to herself, I hope it will be of some use.
"Sis, can you comprehend Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It by stabbing five hundred broken sabers into the ground and letting your imagination run wild? I think it is very mysterious! "Liu Suifeng said as he ran behind Liu Ruyue at some point in time.
Liu Ruyue's expression was as calm as water; there were no fluctuations in her expression. She said indifferently, "Broken sabers? Go and find five hundred of these broken sabers for me to take a look. Every saber here was obtained from the Ancient Saber Formation.
"Although they are not of high rank, they have existed for more than ten thousand years and possess a trace of Dao. You actually call them broken sabers? I can't be bothered to say anything more."
The full name of the Saber Formation in Saber City was the Ancient Absolute Saber Formation. It had existed since the Ancient Era and had operated for more than ten thousand years. Even now, there were no signs of its might weakening.
No one knew the origins of the Saber Formation. In the past hundreds and thousands of years, no one had entered the center of the Saber Formation to see what was supporting the operation of the Ancient Absolute Saber Formation.
What made the Saber Formation famous was that as long as one could escape unscathed from the Saber Formation, they would be able to obtain a treasured saber. The longer one lasted in the Saber Formation, the more valuable the treasured saber would be.
However, the Saber Formation was very dangerous. It was already very difficult for a Martial Saint to last for an hour. Even someone as strong as a Martial Monarch would not last more than half a day.
If one wanted to obtain a treasured saber with a trace of Dao that had existed for more than ten thousand years, the chances were very small. It was clear how difficult it was for Liu Ruyue to obtain five hundred of such treasured sabers in one go.
Liu Suifeng revealed an astonished expression, "Sis, five hundred of such sabers … you probably moved half of the stock in the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion. How did you do it?"
Liu Ruyue said softly, "Lu Chen owes me a favor. Coincidentally, his old man is in charge of these tools. So I borrowed them. After all, I have to return them after using them. So he agreed."
Liu Suifeng's expression was exaggerated. He pretended to be hurt as he said, "Sis, I am starting to suspect if you are my biological sister. Why don't I receive such treatment? This is too hurtful."
Liu Ruyue looked at Liu Suifeng resentfully. She said, "Before you were thirteen years old, did I not put in enough effort on you? I laid such a good foundation for you. Now, you have wasted it all. You still have the cheek to say that? "
Liu Suifeng laughed out loud, "Sis, I discovered that you are not calm, like you are hiding something. Have you fallen in love? Actually, I can help you matchmake."
"Look at Brother Ye. His future is boundless. He will not have any problems with the core disciple exam this time. Furthermore, he is already a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master at the age of sixteen. His cultivation talent is not much weaker than yours. He is completely worthy of you."
"The most important thing is that Brother Ye does not seem to have anyone he likes. You can take advantage of this and … ah!"
"Bang!"
Before Liu Suifeng could finish jabbering on, he heard a gust of wind. A slender leg appeared in front of him and kicked him heavily in the chest.
There was a loud 'boom' and his body flew back rapidly like a sandbag. He cried out in pain in the air. He flew far away and crashed into the wall of the dueling grounds before falling to the ground.
Liu Suifeng got up and felt his entire body aching. He could not help but groan in pain, "This is really not an ordinary kind of pain. Ha ha! However, it seems like the result is good. There is hope, ha ha!"
When the somewhat drunk Bai saw Liu Suifeng suddenly land beside him, his face turned red. He cried out excitedly and sent out a palm strike.
"Hu!"
A huge shockwave was created. The shockwave turned into a violent gale, sweeping Liu Suifeng's body into the air.
When the gale returned, Liu Suifeng's body landed heavily on the ground once again. This time, he fell even harder than before; his bones nearly broke.
When Liu Suifeng saw the drunk Bai crying out with a slightly red face, he was startled, "Damn! This little thing is getting drunk again. Quickly run!"
In the days when Xiao Chen was not around, every time Bai got drunk, he would occasionally get drunk. Furthermore, he especially liked to use Liu Suifeng as a target. This had already left a deep impression on him.
Because they were afraid of Xiao Chen blaming them, they did not tell Xiao Chen about this. Liu Suifeng circulated his Essence and dashed out of the dueling grounds.
Bai turned into a white phantom. His speed was much faster than Liu Suifeng's. He cried out and chased after him.
Liu Ruyue saw all this but did not care. This was not the first time Liu Suifeng had been chased by Bai.
Although Bai was mischievous, he would not really injure Liu Suifeng. In Liu Ruyue's opinion, this was a good way to train Liu Suifeng's reaction speed and ability to resist attacks.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen sat on the ground, focusing his mind on the Spiritual Pedestal. His mind was clear, and he did not think of anything as he sat there quietly.
At the start, when Liu Ruyue told him her first method, he felt it was strange, just like Liu Suifeng.
However, since he chose to believe in Liu Ruyue, he had to keep believing in her. He had to open his heart and trust her unreservedly.
After an unknown amount of time, the world in front of Xiao Chen suddenly changed. He discovered he was in a pitch-black space. There was nothing around him. His surroundings were completely silent; there was no sound at all.
"Huang dang dang!"
The five hundred sabers on the ground suddenly started shaking non-stop. The shaking became more and more intense. The entire dueling grounds trembled slightly.
Liu Ruyue revealed an extremely joyful expression. She looked at Xiao Chen on the ground and said, "The ancient saber intents have merged into one. Now, it is up to you whether you can catch them or not. Do not disappoint me."
The pitch-black space was like the galaxy outside; it was filled with boundless darkness. Suddenly, ten thousand spots of light appeared. It was like ten thousand lanterns slowly lighting up. In the dazzling space, it was extremely beautiful.
Xiao Chen was startled as he said, "What is this? Where exactly is this place? Wasn't I in Qingyun Peak's dueling grounds? How did I end up here? "
"Shua!
Shua! "Just as Xiao Chen was feeling suspicious, the ten thousand spots of light filled the sky and flew over. When they got close, Xiao Chen discovered that these spots of light were actually sabers glowing with light.
"Hu chi!
Hu chi! "Countless sabers glowed with light as they flew around in front of Xiao Chen. They had long flaming tails behind them. In this pitch-black space, they displayed a different kind of splendor.
Faster! Faster! Faster!
An urgent voice kept ringing in Xiao Chen's heart, urging him to hurry up. It was urging him to find a saber that belonged to him in this space.
"Hu!" A saber quickly flew towards Xiao Chen like a meteor. Xiao Chen was startled. If he was struck by this saber, he would die on the spot. He quickly dodged to the side. "Shua!
Shua! " A few more sabers continuously flew at Xiao Chen; they were as fast as meteors. Xiao Chen felt very anxious. He executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art and moved around continuously in this pitch-black space.
