For now, Qin Wushuang planned to conceal the good news of how he had entered the Upper Sky Realm. If he needed to expose it, he must at least wait until the date of his sister’s wedding ceremony.
He needed to first observe the exact attitudes of the people of the Heavenly Royal Territory toward the Royal Qin. If he exposed this secret beforehand, then it wouldn’t be meaningful to probe.
For anyone, as long as they had common sense, they knew what choice to make before the might of an Upper Sky Realm Warrior. That loyalty born from fear could easily change sides anytime.
During the last three days before Qin Xiu’s wedding, Qin Wushuang worked hard on each day. He especially focussed on the Young Shang Sword of the thumb on the left finger and the Middle Rustling Sword of the middle finger on the right hand.
The sword intent of these two different styles was close, that had different meanings but would achieve the same result. Both styles had the same grand and boundless style. When put to use with full force, with ambidexterity, it would not pose any problems.
Naturally, he could not yet use it with complete mastery. Thus, if he were to encounter an enemy, he lacked the confidence to utilize the skill.
In the earlier stages of entering the Upper Sky Realm, it was essential for him to have a stable Upper Sky technique. It would serve as a deciding factor on whether he could fight with an Upper Sky warrior and gain victory.
At least, Qin Wushuang was lucky. This technique he had from his former world had six stages. The only stage that belonged to the Pre-Sky Realm was the sixth stage, the Void Sword.
The higher stages were indeed Upper Sky Realm techniques. Especially this fifth stage, the Seeded Sword, where the more Qin Wushuang practiced it, the more he could feel its power.
With his finger as the technique, it was much more nimble and lighter than his fists, legs, and palms.
The style of the Young Shang and the Middle Rustling Swords did not lack in grandness either. They combined lightness, nimbleness and along with the natural grandeur it carried, this was indeed a technique bestowed by the Heavens.
Qin Wushuang felt very fortunate. Ever since he had arrived in this world, he did not give up in trying to comprehend .
Now, it seemed that his decision in the past had been made with great foresight. If he had not immersed himself in comprehending the knowledge of , it would be impossible for him to acquire today’s understanding at this level.
It was a process like the dripping water penetrating the stone where the water would eventually reach its destination!
" is a combat technique. On the other hand, the Upper Sky Realm needs to continue absorbing natural power to hammer the body into shape and transform it into its own power. Like practicing internal force, this process is similar. Only, now I will be practicing Spiritual Qi! And collecting Spiritual Qi needs a technique…"
Qin Wushuang continued to think fast and started to ponder his long-term training plans.
"Besides, it would feel like having a fly in the ointment with only an Upper Sky Realm technique and no corresponding movements to complement it. For martial arts practices, at any stages, there is a need for balance. One foot would not walk fast and hitting with one punch would not hurt. For anything, we need to attack one problem from two angles so I can fly with two wings." Qin Wushuang was going over quite a few problems. However, right now, the most important points lay in two aspects. One would be the technique to practice Spiritual Qi, and the other was the movement techniques. A good set of movement techniques could sometime surpass many strong combat techniques.
When he thought here, suddenly, a set of mystic movement techniques flashed into Qin Wushuang’s mind.
Regarding its miraculous aspects, from his former world, no other movement techniques could compare to it. The reason that Qin Wushuang had never considered practicing it was that it was not suitable to his Pre-Sky Realm masculine style. It was a set of swiftly and floaty foot techniques remained from the sects of his former world.
Its name was—the .
Now, he had already entered the Upper Sky Realm. It was an entirely different world from Pre-Sky Realm.
In the Pre-Sky Realm, one focused on one set of techniques. It was either masculine or feminine, floaty or tyrannical which did not stick to one pattern.
However, the Upper Sky Realm was entirely different.
The so-called Upper Sky Realm was a stage where the user’s own power merged with the natural power.
Since it would connect with the natural power, he must grasp a thorough understanding of its meanings.
"Heaven and earth embraces everything. Regardless of you being the scorching sun, or being the uninterrupted rain, these were all power of nature. If one insisted on focusing on one aspect, whether walking the masculine or the feminine path, one would not receive the core of the natural power. The essence of the Upper Sky rests with tolerance and consisting all power elements in nature. The more you can collect it, the higher your strength…"
In the past, Qin Wushuang had no idea of all these reasons. However, suddenly, after he had broken through the Upper Sky Realm, these reasons that were sleeping in the head had clearly revealed in his mind.
This was the profound aspect of the Upper Sky Realm. Once one understood one aspect of it, you understand all!
To further his practice in the Upper Sky Realm, he was destined to broaden his training path. He should never stay restrained to his masculine style of the past.
The was a set of movement techniques belonging to the Free Daoism Sect. Some had said it came from a celestial being, and some had said it was a technique invented by an Upper Sky elite warrior. There were different versions of stories.
Qin Wushuang decided to practice this set of movement techniques.
Apparently, since it was named as celestial steps, it had its miraculous aspects. It followed Fuxi, the legendary Emperor’s 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes and revealed to be extremely recondite.
To learn well of this set of foot movements, he must have a thorough understanding of the positions of the 64 hexagrams. Next, he would face the problem of exercising the steps. If he could not even grasp the positions of the 64 hexagrams, it was impossible to produce any results much like if one climbed a tree to grab the fish.
Fortunately, although Qin Wushuang had not practiced these movement techniques in his former world, he did study a lot of Daoism techniques. Also, he did know the positions of the 64 hexagrams relatively well.
Indeed, it had saved him a lot of trouble when practicing this movement techniques.
When practicing this set of movement techniques, the most ingenious method was to put all of one’s focus and forget everyone else. The user would be the only one in the universe. By one’s own intention to walk these steps, regardless of the blooming flowers or the cirrus of cloud, disregard them all.
