Chapter 869 Sword Technique
In Chen Guan's eyes, the palm prints seemed to come alive, and the marks gradually disappeared from the jade sword.

As the palm print on the jade sword disappeared, hands that had never existed before, or rather, hands that had transcended time, appeared out of thin air in Chen Guan's sight.

It was the hand that left the palm print on the jade sword, which, having crossed the river of time, appeared before Chen Guan's eyes in a reversed manner.

In the reversed mode, thousands of hands converged towards one point, eventually gathering on a figure, as if that person were a thousand-armed Buddha with arms and hands in various poses. However, the figure was like a chaotic mass, and it was impossible to see what his appearance was.

Chen Guan understood that the person did not actually have a thousand arms and a thousand hands. It was only because these palm prints were all made by him that such a scene appeared when analyzing the trajectory.

Sure enough, as the thousand arms and hands moved, they eventually merged together, transforming into a normal human figure.

The figure was posing, with its hands in a peculiar gesture.

This posture is strange. It lacks the earth-shattering momentum that Chen Guan had imagined, as well as the oppressive aura like that of a god or demon. It doesn't even look like the starting gesture of a palm technique.

Just as Chen Guan was wondering what kind of position this was, something unexpected happened.

The jade sword that was stuck in the mountain wall in the video actually flew out and landed directly in the figure's hand.

Chen Guan then realized why he felt the figure's posture was strange, because it was not a palm technique posture, but rather a posture of holding a sword in one hand and making a sword gesture with the other.

"How could this be?" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that the owner of the jade sword and the owner of the palm print should be enemies, but he never expected that they would be the same person.

"Since he is the owner of the jade sword, why did he leave his handprint on it? What is he doing?" Chen Guan continued watching, and then the figure sheathed his sword and disappeared.

"Now it's certain that the jade sword and the palm print came from the same person. Was he doing this to enhance the jade sword's combat power, or to suppress it?" Chen Guan pondered to himself.

If the purpose was to enhance the jade sword's combat power, then the jade sword being stuck on the mountain peak might be to suppress and seal the mountain peak or something within it.

If it was used to suppress the jade sword, then that jade sword is definitely not simple and may have something very special about it.

Chen Guan leaned towards the latter. If the goal was to enhance the jade sword's combat power, there was no need to damage it so severely, leaving grooves on the jade sword.

Another reason is that, although the analysis is done in reverse, it is still possible to sense that when those palm prints were struck, they did not seem to be used for a very friendly amplification.

Chen Guan used the secret technique to observe repeatedly, and the more he looked, the more he felt that these palm prints were meant to suppress the jade sword itself, and he also gradually saw the clues behind those palm prints.

The reason why even Mingfei's wisdom could not analyze the palm technique corresponding to the palm print is that the power of the palm print itself is very peculiar, and the reason why what was made of them was not actually a palm technique.

These palm prints actually correspond to a sword technique gesture, which is not for killing enemies, but for controlling the jade sword.

Because it was a sword technique specifically designed for the Jade Sword, even someone as intelligent as Mingfei could never have deduced it before witnessing the Jade Sword's power.

Chen Guan attempted to reconstruct that sword technique using the analytical abilities of the secret laws.

However, after practicing for a while, I found that the results were not very significant. The power used by the opponent to execute this sword technique must be quite special. Without the corresponding power, one cannot execute this sword technique.

Because he didn't know what power the sword technique corresponded to, Chen Guan couldn't deduce how to learn it. However, this wasn't a difficult task for him.

Although he couldn't learn the true secrets, Chen Guan still memorized the movements and momentum, and then kept imitating them.

Once Chen Guan felt that the imitation was almost complete, he asked Consort Ming to come and take a look to see if the sword technique was indeed used to suppress the jade sword.

Mingfei activated her secret laws and innate abilities to analyze the sword technique Chen Guan used and the situation he described.

With some clues in hand, Mingfei's wisdom came into play.

"This is indeed a sword technique used for suppression and control, but because the technique itself requires a power we have never seen before to activate it, it is difficult to recreate it without actually seeing the person make a move."

Mingfei paused for a moment, then continued, "However, it's not entirely without gain. Restoring the sword technique is difficult, but if we don't restore it, but instead use it in reverse, we can give it a try and perhaps gain something."

"Why does it work when it's upside down but not right-side up?" Chen Guan didn't understand Mingfei's line of thinking.

"Because my ability can help you replicate a certain power, what you see is reversed, not the normal version. So even if I merge with you and let you borrow my power, I can only replicate the reversed sword technique, not the normal one," Mingfei explained.

"So that's how it is. With the sword technique in reverse, it should be easier to comprehend its effects." Chen Guan thought to himself, and then had Mingfei transform into armor and attach herself to his body.

Then he used both the Bright Consort and his own secret laws to look at the image projected by the Heavenly Eye Demon.

This time, Chen Guan indeed had a different feeling. Looking at the reversed sword technique, the vital energy in his body, through Mingfei's ability, transformed into a special attribute that flowed continuously.

With a thought, Chen Guan assumed the posture of reversing the sword technique, and sure enough, he felt a strange power flowing in his palm.

Following the reverse order, Chen Guan used different hand gestures to copy various palm prints and sword techniques backwards.

As Chen Guan changed his sword techniques, he suddenly felt his internal energy being consumed at an accelerated rate, like a dam bursting, with surging energy bursting out.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even one at the ninth level of cultivation, their vital energy would probably be exhausted in an instant.

Chen Guan naturally didn't have this kind of trouble, but he suddenly heard a sword cry and immediately realized that something was wrong. He immediately stopped copying and using the sword technique.

Chen could not see what was happening outside, but he was certain that it was his reversed sword technique that triggered the jade sword's reaction.

He hadn't expected that reversing the simulated sword technique would actually work, and that the jade sword would react even though he wasn't targeting it.

Chen Guan didn't know the exact situation of Yu Jian, but he estimated that the woman would arrive soon.

Because the secret law had been altered, there was no way to conceal the fluctuations in power, so he dared not let the Heavenly Eye Demon see it. Instead, he put his own eyes close to the telescope to observe the situation outside.

Just as he expected, the woman flew directly down from the sky. This time, she didn't separate mountains or clouds, and landed on the platform of the opposite mountain peak in an instant.
