Generally speaking, the simplest way to improve the Sword Spirit Creation technique was to focus on using the sword to fight the enemy.
In other words, if Zhang Yu wanted to improve his sword skills, he would have to use the sword to deal with any enemy he encountered in the future. He would not use any other means, and he would be able to gain enlightenment in the battle of life and death.
In the past, Zhang Yu had seen many cultivators who used the Sword Spirit Creation technique. Some of them were even able to master several sword techniques. However, almost none of them were able to reach the pinnacle through their own cultivation.
Because the higher the level, the more difficult it was to meet such people.
When cultivators reached a certain level, they would have all kinds of means. Sword skills alone could not solve all problems. After all, it was not the same as before.
In the early stages of Gu Xia and Shen Xia, one might be able to rely on a flying sword to travel freely. However, in the later stages of Shen Xia and Tian Xia, there were more and more Dao techniques, Abhijna, and magic weapons used against enemies. Flying swords were not easily restrained, but there were always ways to counter you. Hence, most people died prematurely.
Not to mention the enemy Yuan Xia. Even if he was willing to walk on this path, he was destined to not go far.
However, there was a shortcut here.
That was to use a wisp of his own Qi to enter different worlds and cover his past knowledge. He would only use the sword skills to seek the Dao. When the Qi returned, he would gain new enlightenment, which would be helpful to improve his sword skills.
However, there was also a flaw in this, because the improvement would be very limited.
He achieved success with the Xuan method, which proved that this was the most feasible way for him to reach the upper realm. If it were other methods, he would definitely not be able to reach the level he was at today. Therefore, it was unlikely that he would reach the peak, and the sword skills he would gain would also be limited.
Fortunately, he did not need his sword skills to reach the peak. He only needed to improve a little more, so that he could use the Xuan of Heaven to push a little higher.
The key was that this was not troublesome. It was just a matter of sending out a few doppelgangers, so he could give it a try.
Other than that, there was another way. He thought this method was feasible, which was to find ways to guide the sword intent.
The Sword Spirit Creation technique was a mysterious supernatural power that was derived from the combination of a cultivator's Qi and the sword. It could be considered a cultivator's explanation of the Dao through sword skills.
In fact, it was to use the sword to seek the Dao and reach the peak. It could be said to be the normal path from bottom to top.
However, he could reverse the situation and tell the sword the higher level of Dao that he understood, and then guide it to a higher level.
In fact, this method could only be used to predict the answer, and no matter how many doubts he had, only someone like Yang Kai, who had almost reached the end of the First-Order Origin Realm and had access to the Upper Realm, could attempt such a thing.
In fact, at his level, he could only give it a try, and he might not be able to succeed. Because how to convey the principles of the higher order to the sword was another problem.
But he could do it.
He could try to come into contact with that lofty place by reciting the Six Righteous Heavenly Words. That was where the true upper level was. Then, he could use the words of the Great Dao to inform the heart of the sword. That way, he could guide the sword intent upwards.
Of course, it was impossible for him to reach the peak of the Absolute Slayer Stage with just this. In the end, this was just a trick. However, he didn't really need to rely on this to achieve the level of swordsmanship. He just needed to improve it a little.
At the same time, he didn't know how long this process would last. Ordinary people might not be able to maintain communication with the power of the Upper Realm, so he still needed to rely on the Clear Sky Qi.
After considering everything, he believed that the theory was feasible, but whether it could be done was another matter. He could give it a try. So, he recalled all his clones and combined their Qi and Will. Then, he sealed the door of the Dao Palace and entered a meditative state.
In the Outer Realm, somewhere on the Outer Realm, Hunkong Laozu was sacrificially refining a furnace of pills. Doing this in the Outer Realm required a lot of skill. He needed to constantly isolate the Outer Realm from the invasion of the Outer Realm. Every time he stayed for a long time, he had to find a way to return to the Inner Realm or the Upper Realm to expel the Outer Realm.
While he was sacrificially refining, he saw a flying boat coming from the distance and landing in front of his station. When the cabin door opened, he saw Ying Chong walking out.
His heart skipped a beat. He cupped his fist and said, "Brother Ying? I haven't seen you for a long time. What brings you here today? "
Although he was born in Shangchen, strictly speaking, his branch was only part of Shangchen. He wasn't considered a true disciple, so after the fall of Shangchen, he had nothing to do with Shangchen. Naturally, they didn't keep in touch.
Moreover, he tried his best to avoid getting involved with Ying Chong. He didn't want to be suspected of colluding with Ying Chong and doing something to revive the branch in Shangchen.
Ying Chong knew his concerns, so he went straight to the point and said, "Ying Chong was asked to come by Xuanting."
Hunkong Laozu was a little surprised when he heard this, but at the same time, he relaxed. He stepped aside and said, "Brother Ying, let's talk inside."
Ying Chong cupped his fist and followed him inside. After they sat down, Hunkong Laozu asked, "I don't know why Xuanting needs Brother Ying to come here personally. If there's anything, can't you just send an edict?"
Ying Chong said, "This matter involves the curse technique, as well as many other matters. It's inconvenient for me to pass it on by decree." As he spoke, he told Ying Chong about Xuan Ting's request for him to study the curse technique and break through his external body. Then he said, "Brother Hun Kong is a master of curses. We need your help with this matter."
Ancestor Turbid Void pondered for a moment before saying, "I've already handed in my curse, so there's nothing to hide. Besides, there are plenty of people in the Profound Court who can break my curse and are stronger than me. Why do they need me?"
Ying Chong said, "Being able to break the curse doesn't mean that you can set it up. A Dao book is just a Dao book. The key is still the person. Brother Hun Kong, you've also participated in the defense this time. You should know that no matter how many times the outer body is destroyed, it won't be damaged. If we don't find a suitable method, we'll always be in a passive position. "
Hunkong Laozu thought for a while and said, "I'm good at using curses. However, with my skills, I can only deal with people of the same generation. My curse is just a small trick to those who want to obtain the best results and complete their Dao."
Ying Chong said, "You can take it one step at a time. You don't have to aim to defeat the enemy right away. Besides, other Fellow Daoists will also participate in this spell research. Fellow Daoist only needs to do what you can do."
Hunkong Laozu felt relieved when he heard that Ying Chong didn't put all the pressure on him. He said, "If that's the case, I'm willing to give it a try."
Inner layer, Yujing, Ministry of Heavenly Works.
Many master craftsmen dispatched from various continents were gathered in one place. They gathered here to create a magic breaking weapon that could be used on the battlefield in Yuanxia.
Although Xuanting had issued an order for this long, the master craftsmen were all tasked with important tasks. They couldn't leave as they wished. Moreover, once they left for Yujing, they didn't know when they would return. Therefore, they had to arrange their tasks properly before they could leave. This was why it had been delayed until now.
Before this, Xuanting had always restricted Tianji's creations from involving higher-level items. Now that they took the initiative to ask the Ministry of Heavenly Works to improve the power of the magic weapons, it was equivalent to removing a layer of shackles. Although they didn't completely release the shackles, many master craftsmen saw hope. Therefore, they were very enthusiastic this time.
But after a few days of discussion, the various craftsmen had different opinions. Everyone had their own ideas and opinions, so they couldn't come to a conclusion. As a result, they couldn't decide on which path to take.
In the end, the master craftsmen's opinions were summarized and sent to Master Craftsman Di Huaiyi.
Most of the master craftsmen and master craftsmen had titles given by the Ministry of Heavenly Works. However, other than arranging for the creation of the magic weapons, the master craftsmen didn't care about the specific matters of the Ministry of Heavenly Works. Only this one was an exception. He was both a master craftsman and an administrative official. Moreover, he was able to arrange both matters properly.
The young official who delivered the letter said, "Master Di, we've gathered all the master craftsmen, but they all have their own opinions. Everyone is insisting on their own views."
Di Huaiyi said, "They're all master craftsmen after all. It's understandable."
The young official said, "However, this only leaves them with arguments. No one can come up with a suitable plan that everyone agrees with. This matter can't be pushed forward."
He paused and said, "If the two master craftsmen can come out and preside over the overall situation, I'm sure everyone's opinions can be unified."
Di Huaiyi shook his head and said, "The two master craftsmen have other important tasks. That's why they left this matter to us. We must do a good job and not add more burden to the two master craftsmen."
The young official was a little embarrassed and said, "But we can't go on like this. If the higher-ups ask about the progress, we can't say that we haven't started …"
Di Huaiyi was very confident. He looked at the resume of each master craftsmen. He knew most of them and had seen them before. After all, it wasn't easy to find a master craftsman. It wasn't rare in Yujing, but it was rare in the various continents. Usually, it was good to have two or three master craftsmen in one place. Some continents didn't even have one master craftsman. They were invited from other places to keep up appearances.
At this time, he reached out and picked up a list and said, "This is Master Craftsman Wu Zewu. I remember that he has been in Dongting Prefecture all these years."
The young official glanced at it and said, "Yes, he used to be from the Ministry of Heavenly Works. Later, he came to Qingyang Upper Continent. He has a lot of experience and excellent skills. In the early days, he was mainly engaged in the construction of flying boats, mysterious weapons, and other war weapons. He is also very good at creating living things. However, when he came to Dongting, he turned to civilian work. What he knows is only decades old."
Creation skills were changing rapidly. Master craftsmen could only guarantee their own quality and creativity. However, there were some cutting-edge things that couldn't be known without contact. Moreover, civilian work and war weapons were two completely different fields.
Di Huaiyi shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Dongting is not simple." He put down the list and pointed at it. "Arrange for me to meet him."
The young official couldn't help but be surprised. There were so many famous master craftsmen, but he didn't want to meet this master craftsman first. He didn't understand. Those master craftsmen might have some complaints. However, Di Huaiyi was the one in charge, so he couldn't say much. Therefore, he bowed and said, "I'll go and get him."
