Destiny is ashes

Chapter 103: Sword Spirit Pie (53 first orders 6000 plus more)

Raising his hand, An Jing was originally a member of a family. He practiced martial arts since he was young, and coupled with the rigorous training at Xuanming Manor, he had many calluses and scars on his hands.

But now, with the meditation and practice in the past few days, he drew the spirit into his body, and not only did the scars and calluses disappear, but his skin all over his body also had a faint layer of white jade color flowing under his skin.

While looking at the glazed platform below him, An Jing also found that there was a flash of intelligence in his eyes.

The spiritual light was slowly fading, but this was also the proof that he had mastered the first taboo of Taibai Haoling's divine taboo.

“The foundation is pretty solid.”

Seeing this, the Fuxie Sword Spirit was very satisfied: "The first magical power is called 'Hard White'. The hardest thing can be ground without becoming thin, and the whitest thing can be dyed with nirvana without becoming black. It can cleanse the meridians, strengthen the body, nourish the spirit, and solidify the soul. It is not contaminated by filth and is not afraid of the five poisons."

"All cultivation methods, killing methods, refining methods, and nurturing methods are essentially for the purpose of developing a certain 'divine power'. Only when you have developed a divine power can you say that you have achieved success in this cultivation method. You are only at the beginning, and your body is undergoing a preliminary transformation."

At this point, the Fuxie Sword Spirit sighed and said, "However, even if you have a method, you cannot practice it randomly. Once you have acquired magical powers, it is difficult to change them in this world. Each magical power will automatically operate without you having to activate it, but it will make your Zhoutian circulation more cumbersome and laborious, and will also take up the spiritual power you can call upon."

"The more magical powers you have, the deeper your Taoism will naturally be, but your future is also completely fixed. If in the future you discover a new magical power that can better match your other magical powers, or even take you one step further on your path, but you don't have the spare spiritual energy to practice it, you can only sigh and sigh."

"I see."

An Jing was thoughtful. He tried to understand based on his past life experience: "Each cultivation method will eventually become a passive skill, 'divine power', which can be used at will without any effort on your part."

"But magical powers will occupy the upper limit of spiritual power. If the upper limit is full, you will not be able to practice new methods and obtain new magical powers. Your abilities will be fixed and cannot be optimized unless you advance to the next level."

"That's right." Fu Xie Sword Spirit agreed, and said with emotion: "Although there are secret methods that can destroy old magical powers and make way for new ones, they also cost one's life. True cultivators from large sects will plan their future path from the beginning of their practice. And cultivators from large sects have great advantages in their practice methods compared to those from smaller sects."

“For example, the most crucial part of Taibai Haoling’s Divine Prohibition is the fusion of many minor magical powers into a major magical power at the end. Half of the power is reduced for no reason. It is equivalent to using the spiritual power of six minor magical powers to exert the power of the twelve magical powers of an ordinary sect.”

"If a talented and powerful person from a small sect practices the twelve Taibai cultivation methods separately, and finally practices the Taibai 1 method, he can be comparable to a cultivator who has mastered the Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Technique. Both are at the peak. But the latter can also practice other cultivation methods and magical powers at the same time, so his comprehensive strength is much stronger than that of a small sect."

——Judging from the tone, the Fuxie Sword Spirit or the sword master back then must have relied on his talent to practice magic in a disorderly manner and paid a huge price to return to the right path.

However... the tone and perspective of the sword spirit seemed a little confusing? Was he a human or a sword? Was he a sword spirit from the beginning, or did the sword immortal rely on the sword after being seriously injured?
Can He still tell the difference?

An Jing was thinking in his heart and continued to listen silently.

"In short." The sword spirit guided An Jing to continue to circulate the Qi in his body and purify the golden evil in his body. "The magical power of 'hard and white' is to lay the foundation for the subsequent magical powers. It will pave the way for you to be full of energy and spirit, and to have a strong body so that you can endure pain and torture. It is a very important part. The fact that you can cultivate the first forbidden level of this magical power within five days is enough to prove that you are very smart and will make the elders of the sect look at you with awe."

"Can intelligence make the elders look askance?" An Jing asked while practicing the Qigong, "Which is more important, aptitude or intelligence?"

"Of course it is the mind." The sword spirit said calmly: "The body's spiritual roots can be the foundation or external objects. As a person with innate wisdom, you have experienced reincarnation and awakened from the confusion in the womb. Don't you have a second body of your own? You should understand this."

"Everything is easy, the only thing that is not easy is the heart of Tao."

"Not to mention, you have awakened your destiny. Those who have awakened their destiny are equivalent to being born with a magical power that does not occupy spiritual energy. They can practice the corresponding cultivation method without any setbacks. Just like your destiny of seven evil spirits, practicing the evil energy cultivation method is really convenient in many ways."

"And the magical power of condensing qi into weapons is even more beneficial to the practice of invisible and intangible military techniques such as the "Six Qi Sword of Riding the Void", "Invisible Sword of Breaking Illusions", "Mixed Origin Nameless Axe", and "Great Five Elements Yin and Yang Yuan Magnetic Universe Starlight Extinction Divine Sword."

"Even if your talent is average, my great sect at that time would do its best to find natural treasures to improve your qualifications."

"I see."

An Jing followed Fu Xie's instructions and began to exhale the extra golden evil spirits. Light white clouds emanated from his mouth and nose. He asked curiously, "Sword Spirit, do you still remember these invincible magical powers that sound powerful?" "Yes!"

Unexpectedly, An Jing, who thought the other party would be stuck and speechless again, heard the sword spirit's confident answer: "Why do you think I guide you in your practice? It is so that when you are strong enough, I can teach you invincible magical powers!"

"However, you have such a good understanding. I originally wanted to train you to activate the Qibing magical power more and master it, but you learned the magic by yourself without a teacher, surpassing my highest goal."

"So I'm still thinking about how to train a destiny-level genius like you so as not to let your talent down."

The sword spirit concluded: "In short, you don't need to rush. Awakening your spirit and refining your energy are all stages of laying the foundation. Just practice with peace of mind!"

“Then I’m looking forward to it!”

An Jing smiled and nodded at the Sword Spirit's promise, but he still had doubts in his heart: "It's just that, Fu Xie... In comparison, martial arts and Qi training seem to be quite different. The requirements and characteristics of both are different."

"Can the two complement each other? Will my simultaneous cultivation of martial arts and immortality help me master these magical powers, or will they conflict with each other?"

"I don't know. In fact, this is also the reason why I didn't teach you all kinds of great magical powers right away."

The Fuxie Sword Spirit said honestly: "This is why I said that I cannot be your teacher yet. I know very little about Huaixu of this era, and most magical powers require the power of heaven and earth, so I cannot learn them rashly."

"I'm afraid we still have to explore the nature of Huaixu's current strange situation. Only after verifying this, I dare to teach you these great magical powers."

"As for now, you have completed the first prohibition, and it will be impossible to complete the second prohibition in the next day. It's time to get some powerful magic weapons."

"You're right, it's time to go out."

He responded, but An Jing did not get up and leave immediately.

Instead, he calmed down and continued the circulation of the Qi in his body. Only after he had calmed down all the strange phenomena caused by his concentration of the first taboo did he stand up.

At this moment, streams of Taibai evil energy were flowing in An Jing's body, and he faintly exuded the aura of a sharp weapon, just like the female cultivator who was in charge of Xiaozhe Mountain before. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person.

In this way, others would naturally know that he was a cultivator, perhaps even a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and this would probably save him a lot of trivial matters.

Now, there are a total of thirteen Taibai evil spirits in An Jing's body.

An ordinary cultivator gathers energy from the metal, stone and earth veins twice a day, and it takes sixty strands of metal and stone evil energy to condense into a Taibai evil energy.

The energy contained in one or two pieces of jade steel exceeds what an ordinary cultivator can collect in a year, but the sword spirit of Fuxie taught An Jing to remove the dross and retain the essence, to concentrate the essence and seek purity. In addition, there was the fundamental innate evil energy that An Jing forged for the first time with the sword spirit of Fuxie, a total of thirteen.

Not too little, but not too much either.

Because An Jing is essentially still a beginner cultivator at the 'awakening of the spirit' stage, and is only able to manipulate spiritual energy in advance by relying on advanced cultivation methods, he has an absolute advantage in strength compared to his peers.

But compared to a true Qi-refining cultivator, the Qi in his body is not abundant, it's just 'Qi like a river' that is neither rising nor falling.

In other words, he wasn't recovering quickly.

All these thirteen evil spirits have been used up. He might have to hold the Jade Steel and spend a whole day meditating before he can recover.
