Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

The door is open!

But the moment the door opened, everyone's expression changed.

A sword light, as if it possessed intelligence, swiftly shot out from the sword training room.

The person with the closest wine gourd instinctively stepped back and quickly placed a defensive artifact in front of them.

block!
There was a loud noise.

The spiritual light on the defensive artifact quickly dimmed.

Then, with a soft "pop," it was shattered.

But at the same time, everyone also saw that the power contained in that sword light seemed to have been exhausted, revealing its true form.

It was a fiery red flying sword.

This flying sword, having absorbed the residual sword energy left by the ancient cultivators practicing swordsmanship in the training room, has always been in a state of being ready to be activated.

It was only because it was in a state of slight balance in the sword practice room that it was not activated.

Only when the gate was opened and the balance inside was broken did the flying sword follow its instinctive will, unleashing its sword energy and rushing directly towards the nearest person.

The wine gourd was relatively unlucky; it was at the very front of everyone and closest to them, which is why it was targeted by the flying sword and charged straight at it.

Fortunately, the remaining sword energy within this flying sword was limited.

That's why his defensive artifact wasn't pierced directly.

However, the terrifying sword energy still left a huge gap on the treasure, greatly diminishing its spiritual power.

Even if it can be repaired, it will be difficult to restore it to its full glory.

"I almost died here."

The wine gourd breathed heavily, his face showing the relief of surviving a disaster.

He was genuinely startled.

Being able to activate the defensive capabilities of the magic weapon is already considered an instinct born from his extensive combat experience.

Looking at this flying sword, as thin as a feather, which was directly stuck in his treasure, still makes him feel a chill.

"This flying sword is at least of a good grade."

It's at least a high-grade magic weapon!

At this moment, the one favored by the gods suddenly spoke, his face full of surprise.

A superior treasure.

It is the most powerful weapon after magic treasures.

Even many magical treasures are far inferior to high-grade magical artifacts in terms of absolute power.

Because when a magic weapon is forged, it is perfectly suited to the cultivator and has the potential to grow. If it has just been forged and the cultivator's strength is not very strong, even if the cultivator has a very strong ability to control the magic weapon, it will be difficult to compare with a high-grade magic weapon in terms of absolute power.

If a high-grade magic weapon is fully activated, it can be no weaker than a full-force attack from a True Immortal expert.

Of course, above the superior-grade treasures, there are also the supreme-grade treasures.

But such existences are rare and hard to come by.

This flying sword is so powerful even without anyone controlling it. If someone were to drive it, wouldn't it be even more amazing?
Therefore, the gazes of those favored by the gods couldn't help but become somewhat fervent at this moment.

"This flying sword has indeed reached the level of a high-grade magic weapon."

Violet couldn't help but speak up at this moment, a hint of excitement appearing on his face. However, after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, this flying sword is a fire-attribute flying sword, which is not compatible with my Dao Yuan."

Although they were very tempted, such high-quality magical artifacts are still quite rare.

Even if it doesn't align with Dao Yuan, this flying sword can still unleash tremendous power in her hands.

Even if it cannot unleash its full power, it can still reach 70% of its potential.

With 70% of the power of a top-grade magic weapon, plus her strength at the Dao Night Travel Realm, even cultivators at the Dao Day Travel Realm would have to temporarily avoid her sharp edge and dare not confront her head-on.

"This flying sword is compatible with my Dao essence. Why don't you give it to me?"

Upon hearing this, the favored one standing nearby had a brightening eye and quickly spoke up.

"This flying sword was aimed at me from the very beginning; it's only right that we're destined to be together."

Upon hearing this, the wine gourd beside him couldn't help but speak up.

He didn't want to give up the flying sword either.

After all, these flying swords are of very high grade. Once refined, they can directly increase one's strength, so they naturally don't want to give them up easily.

"Where is the fellow Daoist who communicates with spirits?"

It seems you don't have a single suitable magical artifact to protect you.

At this moment, Violet looked at Chen Yushu.

She had been paying attention to Chen Yushu and knew that he had made several moves along the way, but each time he ended the battle with magic, and he almost never took out any magical artifacts or treasures.

Although his spells are extremely powerful and almost all of them can be cast instantly.

However, magical artifacts and treasures are also the pursuit of countless cultivators, serving as one of the guarantees for their livelihood, and their activation speed is extremely fast.

"Since you two fellow Daoists need it, I naturally won't take what others want."

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said with a smile.

He doesn't have much need for magical artifacts or treasures.

The spell can be cast instantly, surpassing the attacks of any magical artifacts or treasures.

Although for other cultivators, magical artifacts and treasures attack at extremely high speeds and can be summoned with a mere thought.

But this also takes time, a process from summoning to activation. It can take at least one breath, or two or even three breaths if it's slow.

His spells, however, can be cast instantly.

In an instant, the attack can reach us.

His attack speed was actually much faster, so he didn't really need any magical artifacts or treasures.

Nothing is as convenient as one's own magic, and it is also more powerful.

The power of this spell is comparable to the full force of a high-grade magic weapon, or even a top-grade magic weapon.

"Then who gets this flying sword?"

Upon hearing this, the wine gourd breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.

There's really no need to rush.

If there's a top-grade flying sword in this sword training room, then there's no doubt that there are even more suitable ones in the other secret rooms.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for us to choose later?

Seeing this, Violet couldn't help but speak up.

"Okay then."

There's no rush!

Upon hearing this, the wine gourd nodded and stopped arguing.

So the group of people carefully stepped into the sword practice room.

As expected, upon receiving the greetings, there was more than one flying sword.

Besides the one that flew out automatically, there were seven other flying swords lined up and landed on a weapon rack.

However, the grade of these flying swords is relatively lower.

The weakest is only at the level of a high-grade magic weapon, while the strongest is at the level of a mid-grade treasure. Due to the passage of time, the spiritual energy is dim, and the spirituality is also slightly insufficient because there is no replenishment of spiritual energy. It will take at least several months of nurturing to fully recover.

However, it must be said that these magical artifacts and treasures are all of high quality and of considerable value.

The fact that we've obtained these magical artifacts and treasures in the sword training room is already quite good.

Then, the group went to the library.

This was the place they were most looking forward to.

Because the legendary Heart Sword Technique is very likely hidden in this library.

Soon, the door opened. Two rows of bookshelves stood in a straight line.

On the bookshelf were many jade slips.

The categories are divided into various types, including cultivation techniques, spells, miscellaneous topics, alchemy, weapon crafting, swordsmanship, and more.

As Chen Yushu and the others entered, their eyes lit up.

Then, almost simultaneously, they went to the area related to swordsmanship and began to examine it one by one.

There were also quite a few jade slips on it.

Some directly label the sword technique name below, such as the Soaring Swan Sword Technique, the Aurora Sword Technique, Soaring to the Sky with One Sword, Breaking All Laws with One Sword...

However, there are also many jade slips containing cultivation experiences.

There are many jade slips left behind by predecessors containing their insights, experiences, and ideas on sword techniques.

Chen Yushu simply picked one up, casually used the method of breaking the seal to break the seal, and saw the contents inside.

"Insights on cultivation that can break through all laws with a single sword."

One sword can transform into ten thousand swords, and ten thousand swords can also return to one, forming the final sword. When this sword is unleashed, nothing in heaven and earth is invincible…

Chen Yushu scanned the contents with his divine sense and 'saw' and grasped them all.

In an instant, countless insights came to his mind.

It seems that countless ideas have been developed regarding swordsmanship and sword techniques.

Even though he had not learned the so-called "one sword to break ten thousand techniques" at this time, he suddenly understood the true meaning of this sword technique, and how wonderful it was.

This led him to think of the sword techniques he had learned and mastered.

"This theory can actually be applied to my amazing swordsmanship as well."

The Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique is also a top-tier sword control method.

It is further divided into many sword moves such as the Three Heavenly Swords, the Nine Heavenly Swords, the Twenty-Seven Heavenly Swords, and the Eighty-One Heavenly Swords, which are similar in concept to the sword techniques that break through all laws with one sword.

"I can completely adapt and utilize it, allowing me to execute those sword techniques more quickly."

Upon reading this cultivation guide on how to break through all laws with a single sword, Chen Yushu immediately gained countless insights into his own astonishing swordsmanship.

In a short period of time, it was as if he had practiced the Heaven-Shaking Sword Technique a thousand times, gaining countless understandings and insights into it.

Amazing Swordsmanship +350
For a while.

He then snapped out of his reverie.

Unbeknownst to him, his astonishing swordsmanship had been upgraded from the minor stage to the major stage.

"As expected of the ancient sword sect, the Heart Sword Sect's swordsmanship insights."

It's astonishing that just one short article has improved my experience in cultivating the Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique so much.

Perhaps this is the true foundation of cultivation for a major sect or school?

Various cultivation insights are of immense educational value for the improvement of cultivators.

Chen Yushu glanced at the attribute panel, felt the gains he had made, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This is just the training experience of one sword technique. Below are dozens or even hundreds of jade slips, all containing similar sword technique insights.

Even if other insights don't improve his skills as much as this one, the accumulation of small gains, combined with the ability to apply them to other situations, will definitely allow his swordsmanship to improve rapidly.

This is enough to save countless hours of arduous spiritual practice.

Not to mention.

Besides swordsmanship, there are also spells, alchemy, weapon crafting, and many other categories.

Both are from powerful sects and are jade slips passed down from ancient cultivators.

Once he fully absorbs and learns it, his overall improvement will be immense.

"Put it away first."

Once we get back, we'll make copies one by one, one for everyone, so no one is left out.

At this moment, Violet also briefly examined the various sword techniques but did not find the legendary Heart Sword Technique. She was somewhat disappointed, but still quickly spoke up.

After all, this cave is not absolutely safe.

Checking them one by one would take an enormous amount of time.

It's better to put them away first, and then sort and divide them after we get back.

Neither Chen Yushu nor the chosen one, nor the wine gourd, had any objections to this.

Even if they were all at a very high level of meditative concentration, it would still take them a very long time to read through all these jade slips containing books.

Not to mention, there are restrictions on swords.

Unlocking a restriction on a sword might take a short time, but unlocking so many would be a huge undertaking.

As for what happens after taking it back and giving it to those forces that gamble on the jade slips?
No one would have such a thought.

Because these are jade slips left behind by the ancient sect, the Heart Sword Sect, each one is extremely valuable.

How could they possibly sell it off so easily just to get some spirit stones?
Not to mention, none of them lacked spirit stones.

Chen Yushu, in particular, had such a huge gain from just one jade slip. He was very much looking forward to seeing if he would have even greater surprises from the other jade slips.
He has high hopes.

And so it is with those favored by the gods.

Perhaps because his meditative state was slightly lower than Chen Yushu's, his harvest might not be as great, but he could easily distinguish whether the items were good or not.

Of course, it's impossible to discard something that can be passed down through generations, or even used to build a powerful family business and enhance one's foundation.

So the group of people got to work, each collecting the jade slips and putting them into their storage bags.

Among them, the one favored by the gods chose the jade slips related to weapon crafting, while the one with the wine gourd chose the jade slips related to talisman making and alchemy.

Chen Yushu, on the other hand, chose magic.

As for Violet, she put all the jade slips containing sword techniques and other related knowledge into her storage bag.

No one said much about it.

After all, their collection of jade slips was only temporary; they were just putting them into their own storage bags for the time being.

Once they return, they will distribute the copies to their fellow enthusiasts.

For example, Chen Yushu obtained these inheritance jade slips, a total of 357. When the time came, he would copy each of these 357 jade slips and divide them into four equal parts. He would keep one part for himself and give the other three parts to Violet, the Chosen One, and the Wine Gourd.

So does everyone else.

After receiving the jade slip, one must take on the task of copying it and distributing it to other cultivators.

All of this had been discussed and agreed upon beforehand.

There is no question of who benefits more or who gains more.

"Next."

That was the ancient cultivator's own secret cultivation chamber.

And this is also the most dangerous place.

No one knows.

After the ancient cultivator perished, did its remnant soul still remain here?

If it still exists, then we must prepare to fight it.

Also.

We did not find any trace of the Heart Sword Technique in the library.

If this inheritance truly exists within this cave, it is most likely to remain in the ancient cultivator's secret cultivation chamber.

It will be hidden in its storage pouch.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the last and largest meditation chamber.

Violet spoke with a serious expression.

The others nodded in agreement. (End of Chapter)
