As for the Sparrow Palace, Lou Xiaoyi had a plan, but his plan depended on his position in the Carefree Travel.
The Carefree Mask was the most likely position he could obtain for himself, even if it meant taking some risks. Firstly, it depended on his strength, and secondly, it depended on the white-browed old man.
The Sparrow Palace was a way for cultivators to use their mental strength. It was not a mental attack, but focused on the construction of one's mental world. It was a type of inner secret.
Every Orthodoxy with a long history had its own unique method in this aspect. This was because the effect of mental energy in the later stage of a cultivator was unparalleled. Its importance was even above that of mana. Cultivation and mana were only a platform. It determined the lower limit, but mental energy determined the upper limit of a cultivator!
The Xuanyuan Sword School also had its own unique application of mental strength. Its core was the Sword Vein, which closely revolved around the application of the sword pill. This was also the tradition of the Sword Vein. They pursued practicality too much, completely focusing on how to make the flying sword sharper. This could indeed achieve amazing results in battle, but it was slightly monotonous.
Of course, the Dharma Vein also had its own things to nurture, such as the Natal Spiritual Weapon. If a Swordsman could nurture the sword pill in his Niwan Palace, there was no reason that the Dharma Vein, which was more proficient in mental strength, could not do so.
The Sparrow Palace was the place where the Carefree Travel cultivators nurtured their Natal Spiritual Weapons. Of course, it was not limited to spiritual weapons …
Among the nine great inheritances of the Zhou Xian Upper Realm, each had its own unique advantages. Wanyan Creation's advantage was in the communication and coordination with nature. Qing Wei Immortal School's strength was in the uniqueness of the Forbidden Spell. Huangting Daoism was good at internal secret operations. Taixuan Middle Yellow Refinement used the body as medicine. Yuanshi Cave focused on mysteries. Human Sect focused on simple and unadorned pores.
The Carefree Travel was good at mental strength!
The Sparrow Palace was the pinnacle of mental strength, but there was a prerequisite. First, one had to cultivate a unique mental strength through the three basic techniques of the Carefree Travel. Then, there was the space of the Sparrow Palace!
Just like the small world of the Sword Tomb in Xuanyuan, without it, there would be no sword pill. Similarly, in the Carefree Travel, without the space of the Sparrow Palace, the cultivator would not be able to form the Sparrow Palace in the sea of consciousness!
He valued this point because he was not a pure Inner Swordsman! What he had was a sword disc, not a sword pellet! This was not a small difference. From a certain perspective, the difference was huge, and it was fundamental.
Therefore, Xuanyuan's Inner Sword's spiritual cultivation technique might not be suitable for him! With his personality, even if he was an authentic Internal Sword, he would not give up on accepting other systems. In his bones, there was a revolutionary ideology!
He had always felt that no one understood the sword better than him, including the sword itself!
The space of the Sparrow Palace was a special spiritual construct. It was opened once every ten years to recover the spiritual energy that had been extracted by the cultivators. The number of people allowed to enter the space of the Sparrow Palace was not unlimited. The maximum number of people allowed to enter the space of the Sparrow Palace was thirty-six. For the Carefree Wanderers who had thousands of Jin Dan, the competition was very fierce.
With Lou Xiaoyi's qualifications, if he did not make a great contribution in Shajia and did not pull the banner of a tiger, he might not have this kind of opportunity in the entire Jin Dan period. After all, just by comparing the numbers, more than half of the Carefree Wanderers would not be able to enter the Sparrow Palace in their entire lives!
This was also a way for the sects to control their disciples' pursuit of progress. If something was too cheap or too abundant, it would not attract the cultivators' pursuit. It would also lose the atmosphere of competition, which was detrimental to the cultivators' growth.
The thirty-six cultivators were sitting around a stone pagoda. The pagoda was called Trance. Every ten years, a great cultivator of the sect would place the space of the Sparrow God at the top of the pagoda, and the cultivators' divine souls would enter.
Yes, it was not the physical body that entered. The physical body would remain outside the space, but the spiritual consciousness would enter. Among the countless similar trial spaces, it could be considered a rather unique type.
When the space of the Sparrow Palace was opened, Lou Xiaoyi felt that there was a faint spiritual passage at the top of the stone pagoda. This required the cultivator's spiritual energy to reach a certain level to be able to clearly sense it and smoothly pass their spiritual consciousness into the space. Just this alone was enough to stop a lot of cultivators who were unable to improve their spiritual energy.
He started cultivating his spiritual energy when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Until now, it had been almost four hundred years. This was also very rare among the Jin Dan cultivators. Although the spiritual energy training method was not too formal and was not compatible with the fundamental techniques of the Carefree Wanderers, the level of his spiritual energy was still there. This could not be faked.
Smoothly passing his spiritual consciousness into the space of the Sparrow God was like throwing a few years old child onto the beach. Playing with sand was his instinct!
The child was illusory, and his spiritual energy was his hands and feet. The strength of his spiritual energy depended on the level of his spiritual energy. If his spiritual energy was strong, he would be able to move more sand in one go. If his spiritual energy was weak, he would be able to move less sand. Let's see who could build their own spiritual palace in a certain amount of time.
Regarding the use of spiritual energy, regardless of the orthodoxy, in the end, all roads lead to the same destination. Lou Xiaoyi did not have the delicate control of spiritual energy like the three fundamental techniques of the Carefree Wanderers. However, he had Xuanyuan's internal sword and had many experiences of building the Bo Lang Slope. Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with it, but he was slower than the others.
His advantage was that he was familiar with it, and his goal was clear. He had never thought that he would create such a novel thing here. The blueprint was the Bo Lang Slope, and the goal was to have a place to train the sword spirit. This was the simple way of thinking of a Swordsman.
He did not change the spiritual cultivation method of the internal sword because he wanted to abandon it. He also did not absorb the spiritual cultivation method of the Carefree Wanderers because he wanted to become a spiritual cultivator!
He only wanted to use the strengths of the two schools to find the most suitable method for his own sword plate. This was something that could not be helped, because the internal system of his swordsmanship was also something that he had created himself. There was no other method that could match it!
The child on the beach was holding sand, gathering sand, and piling up sand with great difficulty … This sand was not the mystical Pure Sand when he first built the Bo Lang Slope, nor was it the sword box of the Wei Sword Mountain later on. These were all tangible objects. The space of the Carefree Wanderers' Sparrow Palace was magical in that it could transform the invisible spiritual energy into tangible objects. It was convenient for the cultivator to directly understand and build it. After the construction was completed, the cultivator would move it back to the sea of consciousness in his body.
Without the interference of external objects, this was purely one's own mental strength. As the cultivator's mental strength, cultivation level, realm, and understanding of the Dao improved, the entire Sparrow Palace would be able to connect seamlessly and improve as well! It did not need to be like the Bo Lang Slope in the sword box. When the realm increased and the sword spirit grew, he had to find another external object and reconstruct it. Not only was it tiring, but it also fell behind because of the addition of external objects.
A three-dimensional prototype of the Bo Lang Slope gradually became clear in the child's hands. During the process, due to the lack of experience, there were often signs of collapse, instability, and even being washed away by the waves. He knew that this was normal, and he needed to accumulate experience!
