Chapter 32: Epiphany of Swordsmanship (3)

  (PS: I highly recommend a great novel "Ancient Martial Emperor"! If it's not good, I wouldn't recommend it!)

  The founding ancestor of the Wan Jian Sect was a mortal youth who was hailed as the "Sword Ancestor". After entering the cultivation world, he cut through the ranks and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. A hundred years later, he finally comprehended the ultimate sword path "Man and Sword as One" and ascended to become an eternal legend in the Qing Yun Continent!

  The Azure Cloud Continent has developed to this day, and the only way to enter the Tao with an object is through the sword path. Therefore, the sword is now the mainstream weapon on the Azure Cloud Continent, and other weapons passed down from the Desolate Era have disappeared in the long river of history.

  The cultivator does not cultivate the sword method, not because the sword method is not powerful, but because to enter the Tao with a sword, one needs extraordinary willpower and opportunity, and also requires a lot of time. In the mortal world, some great masters of the sword path often have to cultivate for decades before they can achieve even a little bit! Wanting to rely on entering the Tao with a sword is almost impossible!

  Even if one enters the Dao, successfully guiding the sword's energy into the body to lay the foundation, due to being too old and having limited lifespan, achievements will also be extremely limited! Therefore, on Qingyun Continent, apart from the "Wanjian Sect" which entered the Dao through the sword, other sects treat swords as a type of weapon, a substitute for taking steps, but no sect encourages their disciples to put down the sect's ultimate skills and spend decades contemplating the way of the sword!

  Although the Wan Jian Sect also entered the Tao with a sword, their entry into the Tao was another path, and there was a clear distinction between them and ordinary people's entry into the Tao. The Wan Jian Sect had a tradition of passing down the Sword Mausoleum, where the sword energy was vast and majestic. When the disciples reached the high stage of the Tong Mai period, they would be organized together to enter the Sword Mausoleum and receive the inheritance!

  As long as you are in a specific array area, follow the secret method to introduce the horizontal sword energy from the outside world into your body, and build the foundation with the sword energy. Those who succeed will directly enter the foundation period, enter the inner door of Wanjian Sect, and receive strong cultivation. Those who fail have almost no chance of survival. Even if they come out alive, they will become a useless person, extremely cruel!

  As long as the disciples who successfully build their foundation have tenacious willpower, and continue to work hard with a bit of luck, their achievements will be boundless! This also guarantees that the Wan Jian Sect has been producing talents for generations. It is also the main reason why the Wan Jian Sect has stood the test of time for thousands of years without falling.

  In theory, disciples who have cultivated to the foundation period should enter the inner door to obtain the sword key's cultivation method, and slowly abandon their sword skills, because they need to spend a lot of time cultivating and contemplating the sword key.

  But the situation with Chang Sheng was different, due to the fact that he had just built his foundation, Yan Long did not pass on the "Yang Yang Jian Quan" to him. This time out for training was only meant to be a process of accumulating practical experience for Chang Sheng, who would have thought that half a month after leaving the mountain, he would continuously comprehend the swordsmanship realm of "no move wins over having moves" and the three great sword realms!

  However, the phrase "having many skills is not a burden" is also very suitable for cultivators. Moreover, after gaining insight into the three major sword realms, it is also very helpful to comprehend the "Sword Manual of Radiant Sun". After all, the sword manual is an extension of sword techniques, but with some added spiritual and divine characteristics that have exceeded the category of sword techniques!
