Chapter 2003
t
Han Jianqiu was perplexed .
The difficulty of the maneuvers increased progressively as one advanced from one maneuver to the next . While he was cultivating the technique himself, he didn't feel awkwardness in the flow of his zhenqi or any discomfort either . More importantly, his cultivation and comprehension of swordsmanship swiftly surged when he cultivated in such a manner too .
Given so, how could the sequence be wrong?
"If you were to swap the first maneuver with the seventh maneuver, the rate which you are able to refine your zhenqi at will be much swifter . If you swap the eighth maneuver with the eleventh maneuver, you will be able to enhance the prowess of your Sword Intent . If you swap the sixth maneuver with the third maneuver, you will be able to sharpen your concentration to unprecedented levels . . . " Zhang Xuan said as he casually pointed his finger around .
Perplexed, Han Jianqiu quickly cultivated in accordance with the sequencing that Zhang Xuan mentioned .
Boom!
His zhenqi surged forth like a torrential river, swiftly pouring his energy into areas where he was unable to cultivate previously . At the same time, he could feel his conceptualization of swordsmanship deepening significantly with each move, causing his Sword Intent to be far sharper than before . He felt like he could sever the surrounding space with a simple slash of his sword .
"You're right . . . " Han Jianqiu was stunned .
It had been eighty years since he started cultivating this technique, but not once had it crossed his mind that the sequencing could have been wrong . What was even more unimaginable to him was that the technique could actually be so much more powerful just by swapping a few of the sequences . . .
His mastery of swordsmanship, which had stagnated for quite some time now, had finally begun to advance once more .
The advancement was still very minor at the moment, but with time, it would snowball and gather greater momentum . One day, he might even comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent, just like the young man before him!
As he slowly recovered from his shock and excitement, he couldn't stop himself from gazing upon Zhang Xuan with an incredulous look .
He had spent fifteen years to master the twelve maneuvers, but the other party achieved the same within just fifteen breaths . . . And if that wasn't enough, the other party even managed to discern the flaws in the cultivation technique and listed out some practical steps for further improvement . . .
Whatever the thing standing before him was, there was no doubt that he wasn't human!
He was still thinking that luck played a huge part in the young man comprehending the Gods' Sword Intent, but given the current evidence laid out before him, the difference between them lay not in their luck but their talents . The young man simply possessed an inconceivably immense talent for swordsmanship!
In fact . . . there was no saying that the young man might even be able to rival the master of the Ethereal Hall!
Several thousand years ago, the master of the Ethereal Hall appeared out of nowhere . Within several short months, he had already swept across the entire Forsaken Continent and become an undefeatable existence . After which, he even barged into the Hall of Gods all alone and snatched the ■神(God)_ character from it, thus establishing the Ethereal Hall-
Over the past several thousand years, there had been no one who was able to match the accomplishments of the master of the Ethereal Hall . . . However, it seemed like that was just about to change!
At this rate, by the time the Azure Bridge opens once more and the geniuses of the Six Sects gather, our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion would surely be able to acquire the best positions . . . Han Jianqiu thought as excitement flickered in his eyes .
In the past, even though their Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion had acquired half a ’彳申(God)1 character in the past, they were still unable to unite the Six Sects together due to their limited prowess . However, with Zhang Xuan on their side, they would surely be able to convince the remaining Six Sects to follow their lead!
He excitedly turned to look at Zhang Xuan, only to see the latter standing quietly on the spot, as if he had just received an epiphany .
Knowing that such epiphanies didn't come easily, Han Jianqiu quietly left the private chamber .
Just as Han Jianqiu had guessed, Zhang Xuan had indeed received an epiphany .
It was regrettable that the Ascendant Cloud Sword God Formula wasn't of much use to him in pushing for a breakthrough to High Immortal realm, but it did allow him to better control his Gods' Sword Intent .
He had used the golden page he had received from accepting Dan Xiaotian was his direct disciple to seal the Gods' Sword Intent that had rushed toward him back them . He had already managed to comprehend the entirety of the Gods' Sword Intent thus far, but due to the limitations of his cultivation and soul, he was still unable to bring out the full prowess of it .
However, when he practiced the twelve maneuvers he had just learned, he found that the Gods' Sword Intent was fusing together with his body .
In other words, the Gods' Sword Intent had truly become a part of him, and he could execute it as and when he liked . It was no longer limited by the strength of his body anymore .
That would explain why Han Jianqiu has mentioned that this cultivation technique is the key to comprehending the Gods' Sword Intent-
Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan thought .
If he could execute the full prowess of the Gods' Sword Intent when he faced the black-robed figures back then, he would have been able to defeat the Three Heavenly True Immortals even if he hadn't achieved a breakthrough to True Immortal!
That was just how powerful the complete Gods' Sword Intent was!
Gugugugugu!
As the Gods' Sword Intent flowed through his body smoothly, Zhang Xuan could feel his presence becoming sharper and sharper . It felt like his Sword Intent could pierce through the heavens at his will .
Hu!
As Sword Intent flowed relentlessly through Zhang Xuan's body, he felt his zhenqi morphing into a sword, and slowly, his body began to rise into the air .
"This is . . . flight!" Zhang Xuan's eyes gleamed in agitation .
Due to the increased spatial pressure in the Azure as compared to the Master Teacher Continent, only those who had reached High Immortals were capable of flight .
Zhang Xuan's cultivation was still only at Heavenly True Immortal at the moment, but through the Gods' Sword Intent in his body, he was able to morph his zhenqi into a sword and rise into the air . In terms of speed, he should be able to move even faster than Elder Chou Huo!
With my current means, I should be able to put up a fight against Heavenly High Immortals now! Even if I were to be faced with the black-robed Heavenly High Immortal expert from the Hall of Gods once more, I wouldn't as helpless as I was anymore . . .
Feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief .
While he lamented the fact that he hadn't been able to find any High Immortal realm cultivation technique manuals to compile his Heaven's Path Divine Art, nevertheless, these twelve maneuvers granted him a much deeper understanding of the Gods' Sword Intent .
With this, his fighting prowess was pushed to a much greater height!
Given his current fighting prowess, he figured that even Elder Bai Ye wouldn't be a match for him anymore .
Pulling his thoughts away from his cultivation, Zhang Xuan turned to his dantian and asked, "Dongxu Gourd, where are the swords you have swallowed? Did you leave one for me?"
He had this fellow devour his opponents' swords during the battle against the assassins from the Hall of Gods back then, and that had relieved him from much pressure back then . . . Well, it would have been much better if it hadn't devoured Elder Chou Huo's sword too .
