Chapter 133: Three Months of Intense Cultivation, Mastering
in two."What""This is…"Those close confidantes who were just casually scoffing, are now all astounded.A true martial arts tenth-level cultivator, whose cultivation base surged to the peak of the Sea...After leaving the Heavenly Realm of Hongtian, Su Xin returned to his residence on the Sixth Holy Mountain.
In the courtyard, Su Xin stood there, his mind still replaying the scene of the old man in the painting, waving his bamboo pole. At the same time, he also tried to continue practicing his swordsmanship.
However, when he wielded his sword, it felt completely different from before.
"No, that's not right. Su Xin frowned deeply."
He could feel his swordsmanship had completely changed. Although he still swung the sword according to his previous feelings, during the execution of the technique, it was naturally influenced and changed. This influence stemmed purely from his overly active swordsmanship thinking.
He had accumulated so much knowledge in swordsmanship, it was like a vast ocean. Before entering the Heavenly Realm of Abundance, it was just a collection of skills. But after his enlightenment there, it all exploded outwards, thoroughly unleashed.
With this burst of inspiration, his mind was flooded with all sorts of sword techniques. The volume of knowledge about these techniques was overwhelming and he couldn't process it all. As a result, no matter what technique he tried to execute, he would unconsciously be guided by these sword technique informations, leading to deviations in his execution.
Simply put, there was too much information, causing my mind to become confused for a moment.
He tried hard to keep himself calm and continued his practice for three more days, but this turmoil still couldn't be resolved.
"I can only go to find my master," Su Xin thought secretly.
Before I became a disciple, the Sixth Mountain Master said that before reaching transcendence, I had three chances to ask him questions.
Su Xin just used it for the first time.
Before Master Su Xin arrived at the cave dwelling, he respectfully bowed.
"What's the matter" The sixth mountain master's voice came from deep within the cave.
The disciple, on his journey of cultivation, encountered some confusions. Su Xin immediately recounted the problems he faced.
And the sixth mountain master seemed to have anticipated Su Xin's confusion, and immediately gave guidance.
"Go to the northernmost part of the peak, there's a meditation platform. Go there first and sit in silence for a while, allowing your mind to become completely calm. Then, carefully reflect on what you learned in the library. Integrate all the sword techniques, including the theoretical knowledge, into one whole. After that, contemplate the sword you saw within the Heavenly Realm."
“Remember, the sword technique you witnessed in the Heavenly Realm is merely a reference. When you ponder it, don't be bound by convention. Let go of your preconceived notions about swordsmanship and follow your own heart. Do what your heart feels is right to improve upon it, refine it as your intuition guides.”
"This is the most important point Su Xinzhen wants to emphasize."
Soon, Su Xin arrived at the meditation platform mentioned by the Sixth Mountain Master and sat down cross-legged.
As soon as he sat down, Su Xin immediately felt a unique force sweeping over him, making his body and mind feel much more relaxed. Apparently, this practice platform was quite mysterious.
Su Xin took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and began to diligently push away distracting thoughts, trying to make his inner self tranquil.
This sitting lasted for a whole seven days, and his heart had completely calmed down, with almost no more ripples.
As his inner turmoil subsided, he noticed a strange power welling up within him. This power lay hidden deep within, and though he could sense it faintly, he couldn't quite grasp it. He also realized that this subtle force was subtly guiding him along unseen paths.
"What is this power" Su Xin wondered.
He has only been cultivating for over twenty years, and he is still just a small cultivator at the Po Xu realm. He doesn't know what Jian Xin is at all, so naturally, he is unaware of the nascent Jian Xin form condensed within his body.
Su Xin didn't delve into it too much. Instead, following the Sixth Mountain Master's words, he began to organize his previous gains from the library.
Countless sword techniques and a wealth of theoretical knowledge, although he had two months before entering the Hongtian Realm to carefully experience them, there was not much effect.
And now, with a completely tranquil mind, the experience becomes much better.
It took Su Xin two months and three days to finally integrate all the sword techniques he had accumulated before, including those theoretical knowledge of swordsmanship.
When performing sword techniques again, my mind will no longer be chaotic.
After that, Su Xin began to carefully ponder the sword...
Sitting on that meditation platform, Su Xin was still practicing his swordsmanship over and over again.
As Master said, with this sword, I must completely let go of my thoughts and follow my heart. Whatever my heart feels the sword should be like, how to wield it and improve it, that's how I will do it. Su Xin's heart was firm, he swung his sword, and immediately felt himself being pulled in by its energy.
This sword technique, it's clearly still possible to execute it in a different way.
"No, the way you're drawing your sword is wrong.
Su Xin no longer focuses solely on the action of an old man wielding a bamboo pole in his paintings.
But to follow the thoughts in his own heart, only to make this sword faster and stronger, he kept refining it.
At this point, the sword techniques and theories he had thoroughly understood, including those he had mastered, proved to be incredibly useful.
Su Xin kept trying, and the sword techniques he wielded became increasingly profound. His swordsmanship itself grew stronger and more powerful.
"Su Xin, your brother, where are we"
Likewise, Jiuyuan, who was also on the mountain peak, had been paying attention to Su Xin's cultivation process all along. He couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
He saw Su Xin wield his sword again and again, and he vaguely guessed something.
>Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.
Finally, it was one night under the twinkling stars.
Su Xin, who repeatedly swung his sword in attempts, finally reached a critical point with the sword he wielded at one moment.
Wow!
Mingming, wielding his finger as a sword, in an instant still unleashed a brilliant flash of sword light.
The sword light was breathtaking, sweeping across the night sky like a glittering river of swords, lingering for a long time!
"Finally done!"
Su Xin opened his eyes and looked at the dazzling sword river in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Su Xin, it was Jiu Yan.
He gazed at the Milky Way, which hung in the night sky for a long time, his eyes filled with awe.
"Complete mastery!!"
"Sure enough, the disciples of Master Su are indeed creating peerless skills!"
Jiuyuan watched silently, her heart equally restless.
There exist countless martial arts, techniques, and secret arts in this world. The number is immeasurable, and there are also some unbelievably terrifyingly powerful secret techniques.
But the ultimate mastery transcends all secret manuals, esoteric techniques, and martial arts.
The ultimate mastery lies in creating and wielding it oneself, for only then can its full potential be unleashed.
This is a move that can truly bring out the best of one's abilities in every aspect.
If someone else had taken over, even if they had studied the highest level of martial arts, the power they could wield would certainly be greatly diminished.
Within the land of Donghuang, anyone who reaches the pinnacle of the Five Steps Nirvana Realm, including numerous Transcendent powerhouses, would go to create their own unique techniques.
Just like those five-step Pinnacle Nirvana Realm powerhouses who went to the Hongtian realm before and cultivated, they were all striving for their own unique techniques. And what the Red Cloud Saint Lord said about the potential of King Youxin stepping out that step likely refers to creating his own unique technique.
A cultivator who has reached the pinnacle of the Five Steps Nirvana Realm, once they create their own unique technique, their combat power will surge, reaching a brand new level.
Could that be the five-step Pinnacle Nirvana Realm
...and Su Xinxian...
"Having broken through to the Void Realm, he created his own unique school of martial arts. My junior brother is truly amazing!" Nine Rock exclaimed, then walked forward.
"Su Xin, his junior brother, smiled and said, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Su Xinyi also smiled, his heart was obviously very happy."
"By the way, you haven't named this ultimate skill yet, have you" Jiuyuan said.
"Mmm, Su Xin nodded, her gaze fixed on the sword river that still hadn't completely dissipated ahead of them."
Under the night sky, a dazzling river formed, lingering for a long time. This sword, I shall name it 'Star River,' Su Xin said.
From then on, Su Xin's first style of esoteric art, "Star River," was born!
……
After creating the ultimate technique 'Galaxy,' Su Xin returned to his residence.
When performing swordsmanship again, Su Xin only felt incredibly smooth. Afterward, he continued to improve his Flying Blood Sword Technique.
Ten days passed again soon.
In the courtyard, Su Xin's sword stopped.
"Flying Blood Sword Technique, I have already improved it to the limit of my ability. Every move and every style is at least several times stronger than before."
Not only that, but my abilities have now reached their peak.
Su Xin took a deep breath.
Within the confines of Jiusheng Mountain, four years of arduous cultivation passed. The first three and a half years were spent within the Sutra Pavilion, while the remaining six months were dedicated to honing his swordsmanship in the Hongtian Realm, as well as creating a unique technique.
In these four years, his progress has been tremendous.
His cultivation has reached the peak of the Profound Void, the ultimate state.
In terms of sword intent comprehension, his cultivation within the library brought his understanding of swordsmanship to an unprecedented height. His comprehension of the essence of sword intent also saw a significant boost. Coupled with his insights gained in the Hongtian realm, he has now fully grasped the first sixty-four essences of sword intent.
Sword intent comprehension has truly reached the third level!
He even created the ultimate technique, 'Star River'.
Indeed, his ability has reached the ultimate limit of what he can achieve at this stage. Unless he breaks through to Nirvana, there is no further progress possible.
It's time to go on an adventure!
"Besides, I also have to find a way to break through the Nirvana Realm," Su Xin murmured.
To cross from the Void Realm to the Nirvana Realm, the threshold is extremely high and the difficulty is very great.
Although Su Xin had a Dao Fruit in his hand, he could directly break through with nearly 50% chance by swallowing it, but the feeling was still too low. Su Xin was unwilling to gamble, so naturally, he wanted to make sure that every aspect of himself reached the requirements for a breakthrough before swallowing the Dao Fruit.
And breaking through the many requirements of the Nirvana realm, Su Xin has already possessed many aspects, regardless of cultivation level, sword intent comprehension, etc.
The only thing missing is a sense of spiritual consciousness!
Mental awareness is extremely important for a martial artist, especially for those in the Nirvana realm. Su Xin's cultivation years are still too short, and in terms of mental awareness, he is indeed not as good as many Void Breaking Realm powerhouses who have cultivated for decades or even hundreds of years.
For example, the former Silver Moon Marquis who was killed by him. His spiritual consciousness was far stronger than his.
Within the Jiusheng Mountain, there are several special places that can help me hone my spiritual awareness. Among them, the most famous and most popular among the powerful practitioners of Jiusheng Mountain is the Abyssal Secret Realm!
It is said that many powerful cultivators in the Nirvana Realm with relatively weak spiritual awareness within Mount Jiusheng choose to cultivate in the Abyssal Realm. After emerging, their spiritual awareness greatly increases, as if they have undergone a rebirth.
"However, to enter the Abyssal Secret Realm, one needs military merit!" Su Xin pondered.
Jiusheng Mountain controls many opportunities, such as Hongtian Realm and the Falling Secret Realm.
Any place of opportunity requires a price, namely military achievements, to be able to enter.
Before Su Xin entered the Heavenly Realm, it was because his master had personally arranged it, and the required military achievements were also paid by the sixth mountain master.
But now, if he wants to enter the Abyssal Realm again, he'll have to earn those military merits himself.
Within Mount Jiusheng, the easiest way to gain military merit is through the battlefield where the two top powers of Mount Jiusheng and Tian Shen Palace, countless Nirvana Realm experts gather, frantically fighting and killing each other!!
On the battlefield, killing enemies earns you military merit!
……indao."After some brief pleasantries."Several esteemed guests, I believe you've already guessed the reason for your visit. Let me be direct," Su Xin stated. "The secret chamber contains numerous restr...
