Borrowing a sword

Chapter 279 The Second Sword Heart

"why?"

Chu Huaixu didn't know what had happened to his ancestor that made him unable to even use his swordsmanship.

Even someone like Xiao Xu, who is a purely crude physical cultivator, can use magic.

The difference lies in the fact that the spiritual power of a normal cultivator resides within the spiritual embryo, while the spiritual power of a body cultivator is relatively small, with the spirit residing in the physical body and relying on strengthening the physical body.

Generally speaking, the power of spells used by body cultivators is weaker than that used by normal cultivators.

However, physical strength can compensate for this to some extent.

Chu Huaixu suddenly felt that it was alright that he couldn't use a sword or possess his own natal sword?
"I'm not as powerful as the Dao Ancestor, who can defeat everyone with just a 'normal attack'. I still need to use skills."

A gentle breeze blew by, and the surrounding scenery vanished.

The surroundings were plunged into bottomless darkness once again.

Chu Huaixu had gotten used to it and began to wait silently.

When his vision gradually returned, he found himself back in the small courtyard he had visited before.

This is the place where the female patriarch of Chunqiu Mountain and the Taoist patriarch bid farewell.

The first thing that came into view was the fat black cat being held in the arms of the woman in purple.

"You really want to give it to me?" She reached out and stroked the fat cat, a smile in her eyes.

"It's not a gift to you, but a temporary loan," the young Taoist priest revised her wording.

The woman in purple ignored him and said to the fat black cat, "Why don't you come live with me from now on?"

The fat cat wagged its long tail and looked at the Taoist priest with a slightly smug look.

Watching this scene unfold, Chu Huaixu realized, "So this cat has been staying at Spring and Autumn Mountain since this time?"

And so it lived on the mountain for a thousand years?

After playing with the fat cat for a while, the woman in purple took out a jade slip from her storage ring.

"Here you are, the fragment of the Heavenly-level sword technique you requested."

The young Taoist priest reached out and took it.

The woman in purple looked at him and said, "This is just a fragment; trying to complete it yourself is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

"Are you sure you want to trade an eighth-grade spirit pill for something like this from my Spring and Autumn Mountain?"

"It's certain." The young Taoist priest took out a box of elixirs and immediately handed it to the woman.

Eighth-grade elixirs are extremely precious, and very few people in the world can refine them.

Many so-called alchemy masters may only be able to refine a few grade eight spirit pills in their entire lives, and in most cases, they end in failure.

As for the ninth-grade elixir, that's something only found in legends.

The woman in purple looked at him and couldn't help but mutter, "I really don't understand you. You can't even practice swordsmanship, so why are you always so obsessed with swordsmanship?"

"You carry a scabbard with you all day long, but you never even get a sword. You keep calling yourself a sword cultivator. You don't look like a sword cultivator at all."

It was obvious that this Taoist priest had a very good temper and didn't get angry at all.

He simply smiled and said, "Whether I have a sword or not, it doesn't matter."

After exchanging a few more words, the woman in purple said, "Let's go!"

She took to the air and flew towards the direction of Spring and Autumn Mountain.

This time, she wasn't as hesitant and reluctant as before.

Perhaps she had already realized that the Taoist priest didn't have much romantic feeling for her; it was just wishful thinking on her part.

After the woman left, the young Taoist lay down on the recliner and began to study the contents of the jade slip.

Chu Huaixu watched from the side, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

"Could it be that I'll be able to learn a Heaven-level sword technique?"

With Xiao Xu's talent, he was able to complete the incomplete version of the "Six Out of Deficiencies" sword technique. With the status of a Dao Ancestor, perhaps he could also complete a Heaven-level sword technique?

The young Taoist priest silently deduced for a long time, then suddenly gave a bitter laugh.

"This is hardly an incomplete sword technique."

"This was simply a sword technique that had gone mad, and then the creator destroyed it."

"If this sword technique is practiced, there will be huge problems!" "It actually attempts to merge one's own consciousness with the sword spirit in order to achieve the effect of man and sword becoming one."

"A person is a person, and a sword is a sword."

Even if it is one's own natal object, after being fused together multiple times, they will still affect each other.

He sighed, seemingly realizing that he had made a huge mistake in this deal.

Chu Huaixu watched as the Dao Ancestor slowly closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he said quietly, "However, it did provide some ideas."

"Given my own circumstances, perhaps I could try to use my own divine sense to guide the sword spirit."

"We need to try more."

Upon reading this, Chu Huaixu suddenly had a premonition.

coming!

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor's path of borrowing swords began from this point?
He repeatedly borrowed swords from others, which was actually an attempt to use his own divine sense to guide the sword spirits of others.

Immediately afterwards, the scene before my eyes began to become extremely fragmented.

Chu Huaixu witnessed the Dao Ancestor borrowing swords from others time and time again.

"Fellow Daoist, may I borrow your sword?"

This young Taoist priest said the same thing every time.

Initially, he borrowed relatively ordinary spirit swords, and the cultivation levels of the people he lent the swords to were mostly not high.

After a similar scene appeared nine times, everything around them froze again.

The Dao Ancestor held a spirit sword in his hand, which was in its sheath and he held it upright.

Having stayed in this secret realm of inheritance for a long time, Chu Huaixu had come to understand its meaning.

"Should I also learn this technique of borrowing a sword?"

"This is way too easy!"

This is our comfort zone.

Chu Huaixu whistled at the mid-grade spirit sword.

"call out--!"

The longsword was drawn and fell into his hand.

He glanced at the progress bar of his sword heart gathering and found that it had actually increased slightly.
"Why?" Chu Huaixu was slightly taken aback.

This wasn't the first time he'd borrowed a sword.

During the Dongzhou Grand Competition, he borrowed Han Shuangjiang's "Partridge Sky" poem.

That day, Partridge Sky was incredibly excited; it was unsheathed even before its owner gave the order.

However, after he borrowed the sword, his sword intent progress bar did not increase.

A sudden inspiration struck him.

"So, my sword intent is actually unrelated to borrowing a sword, but my sword heart might be related to it?"

Because it is related to the sword heart, the progress bar for condensing the sword heart will also increase as a result.

And so, the scene before my eyes began to become increasingly fragmented.

Each time, it was the Dao Ancestor who borrowed a sword from someone, and then Chu Huaixu would try to borrow one as well.

However, the borrowed spirit swords began to have increasingly higher grades.

The cultivation level of the person whose sword was borrowed also rose accordingly.

Mid-grade spirit sword – High-grade spirit sword – Superior-grade spirit sword!
Fifth Realm - Sixth Realm - Seventh Realm - Eighth Realm!

One after another, sword cultivators were borrowed by the Dao Ancestor.

Then Chu Huaixu followed suit and learned from him, which meant that he also learned from him.

Finally, Chu Huaixu saw a familiar face at the end.
