Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 89 Practice of Returning to the Origin of Ten Thousand Swords
Everyone present could do that, but Dai Fengyin demanded:
"Sword energy is the most basic thing to injure the enemy. In the Sword Energy Realm, I hope that everyone can perfectly control the direction of sword energy. Regarding the assessment criteria for sword energy, I only have four words: sword energy that can traverse freely."

Immediately, everyone was as if they had lost their parents.

Even Shen Tu Lei couldn't help but start to feel anxious in advance. He could unleash sword energy, but he might not be able to reach the level of sword energy that Master Dai had described.

After explaining the four levels of swordsmanship, Dai Fengyin imparted a unique swordsmanship technique to everyone before the get out of class ended.

The crowd's spirits were lifted.

Because what Dai Fengyin taught them was a very cool sword technique called "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One"!

Amidst the joy, one disciple remained clear-headed and raised his hand to ask, "Master, will the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin' assessment be included?"

The smiles of the others froze as they realized this and all looked at Dai Fengyin.

She smiled slightly: "If there's no exam, what's the point of me teaching you?"

"what……"

"I was too happy too soon."

"Now I feel that this sword technique isn't so cool anymore."

People whispered among themselves, talking amongst themselves, and there was no joy in their eyes whatsoever.

Dai Fengyin coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent. She then slowly said, "I will relax the requirements for the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin assessment a little."

"If you can generate forty flying swords by the end of the course, you will pass."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that forty flying swords didn't seem too difficult, so they accepted the offer.

Ning Fusang only came into contact with swordsmanship after joining the Southern Star Sword Sect. While in the outer sect, she only learned some sword techniques and the ability to generate sword energy.

During the day, Dai Fengyin's lectures, whether about the division of sword realms or other topics, were very beneficial to her.

This was the first time she had ever encountered the supernatural power of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One".

After returning to Tianxin Peak, Ning Fusang tried to practice. Following what Dai Fengyin had taught her, she circulated her spiritual power, made sword incantations with her hands, and the Shattered Light Sword vibrated slightly before splitting into ten identical swords.

These flying swords appeared for only three breaths before vanishing into nothingness.

Ning Fusang pondered the reason and concluded that it wasn't that her sword technique was wrong, but rather that she hadn't converted enough spiritual energy.

The Return of Ten Thousand Swords is a type of swordsmanship technique, and all techniques are executed using spiritual power. The deeper one's spiritual power cultivation, the higher the completeness of the technique, and the greater the damage.

With her current cultivation level at the third level, even if she used all her spiritual power to unleash the Myriad Swords Return to Origin technique, she would not be able to create ten thousand flying swords.

Ning Fusang was only testing the waters, and the spiritual power she mobilized was less than 10%, so it was not enough to support the differentiated flying sword for long.

Ning Fusang calmed his mind and used his sword technique again. This time, he only condensed one flying sword, which flashed with cold light and shot towards the distant stone mountain.

boom--! !

The artificial rockery, half a person's height, was shattered into pieces, emitting wisps of white smoke.

The Ten Thousand Swords Return to One is ultimately an offensive technique. No matter how many flying swords it splits into, if they are fleeting like dew or lightning, they are not the path that Ning Fusang pursues.

She would rather return to the origin, leaving only one sword, powerful enough to wound the enemy.

Ning Fusang practiced the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin technique all night, but the damage caused each time was more or less the same, so she was not very satisfied.

This indicates that her mastery of this sword technique is not yet proficient. When she has mastered a technique, she should be able to ensure that the damage caused by each attack is exactly as she has calculated, without any discrepancies.

However, sword practice takes years to yield results; you can't rush it.

Ning Fusang exhaled a breath of stale air and looked towards the horizon. At this hour, the dawn had not yet broken, and the mountain scenery was serene and tranquil, as quiet as a traditional Chinese ink painting.

After washing up, she headed towards the training grounds of Kaiyang Peak, where today's lesson would be held. The courses at the Nanxing Sword Sect mainly focused on swordsmanship, and today's lesson was a practical swordsmanship class. The instructor was Elder Yu from the Discipline Hall.

Everyone had long heard of Yu Wanwu's reputation. On one hand, they were thinking, "How come I can attend Master Yu's swordsmanship class?" On the other hand, they were also thinking, "Since Master Yu is teaching us swordsmanship, can I still pass the test?"
After all, Yu Wanwu's strictness was a well-known fact within the Southern Star Sword Sect. Few disciples walked within the sect hoping to encounter this Master Yu.

Around 3:45 AM, Ning Fusang arrived at the Jiazi Martial Arts Arena. She raised her eyes slightly, somewhat surprised to find that more than half of the people had arrived before her.

There are still a full 55 minutes before class starts.

As soon as Ning Fusang arrived at the training ground, several strange, complex, and inquisitive gazes fell upon him.

She was a little confused.

It wasn't until Jiang Renyi, whom she had met a few times at Qingbo Cave Lake, walked towards her, greeted her, and asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister Ning, Master Yu once taught you. Was he really as strict as everyone says?"

Jiang Renyi hadn't been in the sect for long, and he only learned about Ning Fusang's punishment of being sent to the Sword Washing Pool for killing a classmate after he returned. The teacher who had taught her back then was none other than Elder Yu Wanwu.

Jiang Renyi could never have imagined that the slender, graceful young woman before him would act with such a resolute and unyielding nature.

However, he didn't have any thoughts about Ning Fusang killing people. The world of cultivation is cruel. It's just that they are in a safe environment because they are in the sect. Once they go outside, it's a dog-eat-dog world. You can't survive without killing people.

Jiang Renyi had killed people during his sect missions before, and not just one.

What surprised him was not that Ning Fusang had committed murder, but that she had blatantly disobeyed Master Yu's orders and killed her fellow disciple right under Master Yu's nose, the head of the Discipline Hall.

If it were Jiang Renyi himself, he would definitely have stopped.

The act of killing one's fellow disciples should not be made public, and what good would it do to kill someone?

It's not worth getting caught up in a moment of anger.

This is what most people think.

Ning Fusang smiled gently, realizing what those gazes meant.

Back then, she was punished by Master Yu to go to the Sword Washing Pool. Now, after all the twists and turns, Master Yu is teaching her swordsmanship again. So everyone is curious about the old grudges between her and Master Yu.

Actually, the relationship between Ning Fusang and Yu Wanwu isn't as complicated as people think.

The sect's internal rumors that Master Yu deeply disliked and despised her as a student were obviously false. During the three years Ning Fusang worked as a handyman, Yu Wanwu had taken care of her, and in the second year, he mentioned that she should return to the outer sect.

However, Ning Fusang refused.

Before she came to the Southern Star Sword Sect, she was already at the ninth level of cultivation. She obtained the Fish Hidden Sword, sealed all her cultivation, and became an ordinary outer disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect.

Even though she sealed her cultivation, the recovery speed of her realm was still too fast, and she could only keep falling in realm on her own. However, the Southern Star Sword Sect was full of powerful experts, and there were many eyes and ears in the outer sect, so it was not safe. Doing menial work was actually a decision Ning Fusang made after careful consideration.

Over three years, she completely separated her cultivation and sealed it within the Sword Heart Diagram, then began cultivating from scratch.

When she cultivates to the ninth level again and merges her cultivation with that in the Sword Heart Diagram, she will be able to break through to the Knowledge Realm.

Ning Fusang never resented Yu Wanwu. In her view, this Master Yu was actually a very serious, responsible, and fair person.

If Chen Ming hadn't died back then, but had only been seriously injured, the two of them would have been the ones punished.

Since Chen Ming was dead, Master Yu could no longer punish him, so in everyone's eyes, only Ning Fusang was punished for murder.

In reality, Ning Fusang knew very well that she was not punished for killing Chen Ming, but for fighting with Chen Ming in private without informing the Master.

Back then, Sect Leader Shen had no intention of punishing her. He took this opportunity to propose abolishing the old rule of life-or-death duels established by the ancestors of Yaohua.

This matter is not as simple as the sword-wielding killing that everyone sees it to be; everyone involved has their own considerations.

Even Chen Ming, who lost the sword fight and was killed by Ning Fusang, had his own considerations when he proposed to fight her to the death back then. However, Chen Ming never thought that he would lose.
