The symbol of Hinayana Swordsmanship was to create wind with a swing of the sword, which was often referred to as Sword Wind.
Under Hinayana Swordsmanship, a swing of the sword would create a gust of wind that could blow away a millstone-sized rock.
However, although the Sword Wind of Hinayana Swordsmanship was powerful, its lethality was very low. At most, it could blow people far away, but it could not hurt them.
Even with Chu Xingyun's wind and fire elemental powers, his full-force sword wind could only cut off a palm-sized piece of the stalagmite.
Once the Sword Wind was condensed into Sword Qi, it would enter the Qi Sword Realm. Under the Sword Qi, it would only take one swing to cut the thousands of stalagmites in front of it.
However, it wasn't easy to condense sword Qi because it involved spiritual power.
Everyone had mental strength, but there were differences in strength. The stronger one's mental strength, the stronger one's strength.
As everyone knew, the only requirement to advance from the Nirvana Realm to the Martial Monarch Realm was willpower. Willpower was formed by the condensation of strong mental energy.
Only an extremely strong Spiritual Power could condense an indomitable willpower.
However, although mental strength was born, there was a limit. It was impossible for a person to have mental strength that surpassed the limit of their body. Once this limit was exceeded, the person would go into shock or even die.
Only a strong body in the Nirvana Realm could bear the Willpower of a Martial Emperor. Therefore … even if one knew that Willpower was the threshold to Martial Emperor, there was no way to cultivate it in advance.
Take Chu Xingyun as an example. His mental strength had already reached the limit of the Yin-Yang Realm. Since then, it had been stagnant, unable to advance, and did not dare to advance.
As the saying goes, more haste less speed. Being too impatient would only spoil things and not accomplish anything.
Of course, just having a strong mental strength was not enough. The key was to use it.
Although Chu Xingyun knew how to use mental strength to compress and condense wind into Qi in his memories, knowing did not mean that he could do it. It was a completely different realm.
In the cultivation of the Way of the Sword, the moves were easy. No matter how difficult the moves were, they could be learned. As long as one practiced, they would be very skilled.
On the path of the Sword Dao, the most difficult thing was to reach a certain level. This wasn't something that could be achieved through hard work.
Sword Dao was too abstract. No matter how smart one was, it was almost impossible to completely understand it.
Let me ask you, if you can't even understand it, then how can you cultivate? How to use it?
Take the Five Great Elites as an example. Don't be fooled by their youthful appearances, as if they were seventeen or eighteen years old. That was because they had already achieved Nirvana when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, and their appearances were no longer old.
The actual ages of the Five Great Elites were already over a hundred years old.
There were many reasons why he was stuck in the Nirvana Realm.
Firstly, it was because they had relied on all kinds of pills and elixirs to improve their cultivation. Their foundations were not solid.
Secondly, they had suffered too little, and their spiritual power had not been trained. It was too difficult for them to gather the will of the Martial Emperor.
Just as Chu Xingyun had predicted, even though the Five Great Prodigies had improved extremely quickly in the early stages, after reaching the Nirvana Realm, the debt they owed would have to be repaid several times, or even more than ten times.
Take Gu Man for example. His strength did not rely on pills, but completely relied on himself to cultivate bit by bit. Therefore, from the Nirvana Realm to the Martial Emperor, there was no bottleneck at all.
Especially with Chu Xingyun's help, after obtaining an extremely strong spiritual power, he could not suppress his cultivation. When water overflowed, he rushed to the Martial Emperor Realm.
Chu Xingyun now had the spiritual power of the Initial Nirvana Realm. He also knew how to cultivate the spiritual power, as well as the methods and techniques to use it. What he needed to do next was to cultivate diligently.
In the stone forest, Chu Xingyun chose the tallest and thickest stalagmite. He waved his sword and cut it in half, and put it into the Reincarnation Space. Only then did he return to the Golden Phoenix Restaurant in Nanming City.
After asking the maid in the Emperor Suite, Chu Xingyun learned that there was still more than a month before the Hundred Great Trials. He finally relaxed and entered the Reincarnation Space, and began to cultivate diligently.
In the Reincarnation Space, a huge stalagmite stood there.
Surrounding the stalagmite, Chu Xingyun shuttled back and forth, and the Void Slashing Sword in his hand continuously scattered the Thirteen Gale Swords. Every time he waved his sword, a sword wind whistled out.
From every direction, from every angle, sword wind whistled out, hitting the stalagmite and causing it to emit a white mist.
Condensing Wind into Qi was to use spiritual power to compress the power of wind and fire, causing the energy to be super condensed, forming an unstoppable energy hurricane.
Chu Xingyun already knew the method and the trick. After all … in the thousand years of his previous life, Chu Xingyun did not know how many sword qis he had scattered.
However, although Chu Xingyun knew, he could not do it now.
Chu Xingyun's sword heart had already been sealed in the black hole. Unless he retrieved it, everything would have to start from scratch. It was impossible to achieve it in one go.
There was still more than a month left. In the Reincarnation Space, it was an entire year's time. Within a year, no matter what, Chu Xingyun had to reach the Qi Sword Realm!
In the following days, when Chu Xingyun was thirsty or hungry, he would drink the Divine Grade Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid. As for sleepiness and fatigue, it was basically ignored. He would only fall asleep when he could not hold on any longer, and use this to train his spiritual power.
If he did not have the Divine Grade Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid or the Essence of Ice, it would not be long before his soul was exhausted, and he could die at any time.
However, Chu Xingyun had the Essence of Ice wine, and now he had the Divine Grade Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid. Therefore, no matter how exhausted his spiritual power was, he would not die. He would only fall into the deepest sleep.
In a year's time, Chu Xingyun only slept ten times. Every time he slept for an entire day, he would naturally wake up when his spiritual power was fully recovered.
Other than the ten days of sleep, Chu Xingyun spent the entire year crazily swinging his sword.
In the first month, the sword wind was compressed from the thickness of a person's body to the thickness of a thigh.
In the second month, the sword wind was compressed from the thickness of a thigh to the thickness of an arm.
In the third month, the sword wind was compressed from the thickness of an arm to the thickness of a wrist.
The path of cultivation was like this. In the beginning, one's progress was always very fast, and the extent of improvement was also shocking.
The further one went, the slower the progress, and the smaller the extent of improvement.
After half a year's time, Chu Xingyun could already compress the sword wind to the thickness of a pinky finger.
The small thickness of the sword wind was already at the critical point. If one took a step forward, it would become sword qi. If one took a step back, it would still be sword wind.
However, if one wanted to compress it any further, it would be incomparably difficult.
In Chu Xingyun's perception, this pinky finger-sized sword wind was like steel that had been tempered a hundred times. No matter how it was compressed, it was difficult to compress it any further.
Chu Xingyun was quite satisfied with the results of half a year's worth of cultivation in the Qiankun Realm.
In half a year, after Chu Xingyun drank a large amount of Divine Grade Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Liquid, his strength went up another level, reaching the Fourth Sky of Nirvana Realm.
Furthermore, in half a year's time, his spiritual power had also increased greatly, completely keeping up with the increase in cultivation level. It had also reached the standard of the Fourth Sky of Nirvana Realm.
If he continued to maintain this state, when Chu Xingyun reached the Ninth Sky of Nirvana Realm, he would directly enter the Martial Emperor Realm. There would not be any threshold.
Although he wanted to continue cultivating, Chu Xingyun knew that he had to leave temporarily.
