Chapter 136: Absolute Shadow Heart Method
The so-called formation master refers to those who can set up formations with objects without relying on others, and can set up large formations with just one person, fighting against many enemies.
The formation left by Zhu Wuying is obviously a formation laid out with the power of objects. He has been dead for over a hundred years, let alone no one else, even he himself is not there, but the formation laid out with objects still exists.
The cave is nearly thirty meters in diameter and is very empty. Xuan Tian carefully observed the surroundings, but did not find any dangerous places.
Perhaps, the defense set up by Zhu Wuying here is the 'Sword Intent Sky Array' and the 'Six Swords Absolute Kill Array'. In the 'Sword Intent Sky Array', there are four levels of sword intent enveloping everything, with real and fake sword lights interwoven, making it difficult to distinguish between them. It's already very dangerous, and being able to pass through the 'Sword Intent Sky Array' means passing Zhu Wuying's test. In that case, there won't be any other defenses in this cave.
Of course, Xuantian was just guessing and did not relax his vigilance, always being cautious.
"'Sword Intent Sky Array' allows entry but not exit, the road is already sealed off. If you want to leave this place, there's only one way: through the 'Six Swords Absolute Slaughter Array'."
However, 'Six Swords Absolute Slaughter Formation' is an extremely formidable formation. It's not easy to break through it. With Xuan Tian's current strength, he clearly can't do it yet.
Zhu Wuying said that even if one cultivates the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique' to the small success realm, there is only a 50% chance of passing through the 'Six Swords Absolute Killing Array'.
Xuantian's cultivation of the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique' seemed to have reached its limits, achieving a very high level of mastery, but he had not yet fully cultivated it. The final move, 'Destruction of God', Xuantian still had not grasped, and was far from reaching the Small Completion Realm.
"Jueying Jianfa" is a top-grade sword technique of the Xuan stage, and if Xuantian cultivates it to the small completion realm, it is not weaker than the middle-grade sword technique of the Xuan stage at the great completion realm.
Now that the "Absolute Shadow Heart Method" is available, the moves of the "Absolute Shadow Sword Method" are also available. To break through the "Six Swords Absolute Sword Array", you must first cultivate the "Absolute Shadow Sword Method" to the small accomplishment boundary.
Xuantian walked up to the wall with the "Jueying Heart Method" and only now did he seriously start to observe it.
"Jueying Heart Method", is just a matching heart method of "Jueying Sword Method", is a necessary condition for cultivating "Jueying Sword Method", is a way of circulating the innate true energy in the body. When circulating, it can perfectly display the sword moves of "Jueying Sword Method", perfectly exert the power of "Jueying Sword Method", which is different from other cultivation methods.
"Jueying Xinfa" and "Jueying Jianfa" are naturally of the same rank, both being Upper Mystic Grade.
The path of martial arts, one step at a time, the warrior is still in the initial stage of Xiantian realm and has not yet cultivated the middle-grade technique of Xuanjie. To skip levels and cultivate the high-grade technique of Xuanjie is extremely difficult.
The cultivation of gongfa and wuqi is obviously more difficult for gongfa to reach a certain level, after which it becomes hard to improve, whereas the mastery of techniques has no end. Therefore, high-level wuqi is relatively easier than gongfa.
"'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' is not a cultivation technique. It's just the way to circulate true energy within the body, compared to the top-grade Xuanjie techniques, it doesn't have such a high difficulty in cultivation, and it can't even compare to the middle-grade Xuanjie techniques."
Xuantian, although only in the early stages of his pre-heavenly cultivation, had no difficulty practicing the "Absolute Shadow Heart Method". His understanding of the sword was extraordinary and transcendent. The "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique", a high-grade Xuan-level sword skill, couldn't even hold him back.
Xuān Tiān stood in front of the wall with 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' engraved on it for over an hour. He memorized the entire 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' and carefully pondered its contents.
Not only did he remember the content of 'Jueying Heart Method', but also grasped its essence, Xuan Tian's comprehension was extraordinary, and he quickly gained something.
Then, Xuan Tian sat down on the ground and started circulating his true energy according to the "Jue Ying Xin Fa", beginning to cultivate the "Jue Ying Xin Fa".
The innate true energy circulation method in 'Jue Ying Xin Fa' is very strange and different from the normal true energy circulation. If other swordsmen suddenly obtained 'Jue Ying Xin Fa', without ten days or half a month of contemplation, they would probably not dare to start practicing it. Even if they started cultivating it, without one or two months, the true energy circulation could not be done according to the instructions in 'Jue Ying Xin Fa'.
Due to the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method's' true energy circulation, it completely overturned the normal true energy circulation route. It is precisely because of this that it can reach an extremely fast and shadowless speed.
However, Xuan Tian was an exception. He had already made some progress in the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique". The first time he comprehended the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique" was when he faced countless attacks from giant bees, and his life was hanging by a thread. At that moment, the small white sword at his brow burst forth, surging into his mind with a powerful force, allowing Xuan Tian to have divine assistance, and naturally, he successfully executed the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique".
When casting the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique', the internal energy circulation in Xuantian's body broke through the conventional pattern. At that time, Xuantian remembered the strange internal energy circulation method in his heart. It was precisely because of this strange circulation method that Xuantian's 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique' sword moves reached a speed as fast as 'No Shadow'.
Later, Xuántiān stepped into the Pre-Heavenly Realm, and his internal energy strengthened the Pre-Heavenly True Energy. However, when he executed the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique", the way of operation did not change.
Xuantian was already familiar with this strange internal energy circulation method, which is precisely the reason why 'Absolute Shadow Sword Art' can be so fast as to leave no shadow.
However, the way of operation recorded in 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' is even more bizarre than what Xuan Tian himself has comprehended, but relatively speaking, it can bring out the speed and power of 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique' more perfectly.
With his previous experience, Xuan Tian's cultivation of 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' was quite smooth.
Xuantian in the space ring, carrying food and water, when hungry, eat something, when thirsty, drink some water, the rest of the time, all practicing 'Jueying Heart Method', just less than three days, Xuantian has learned 'Jueying Swordsmanship'.
Mastering the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' does not mean that the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Method' has been refined. Cultivating the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' is a quiet refinement, allowing the mind to maintain its most perfect state and preventing errors in cultivation.
However, when displaying the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique', the body is moving rapidly. At this time, whether the innate true energy can still operate according to the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' is a hundred times more difficult than quiet meditation.
The heart method is the heart method after all, and cultivating it cannot increase a warrior's strength. The heart method must be combined with sword skills to become one, allowing the sword skills to be more perfect, in order to increase strength.
So, next Xuan Tian still needs to spend time cultivating the 'Absolute Shadow Sword Technique', and when cultivating sword moves, he also needs to operate the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method'. The coordination between the heart method and the sword technique requires time to grind.
Only through long-term cooperation and practice, the heart method and sword method can perfectly merge, without errors. When applying the sword method, the true energy will instinctively operate in the most suitable way of heart method, exerting the most perfect blow.
This is the same principle as ordinary sword practice, but ordinary sword practice is a combination of sword skills and physical coordination, whereas Xuan Tian's current cultivation is a combination of sword skills and mental discipline.
The length of time is not the only reason for a swordsman to be familiar with sword techniques.
Practicing the same sword technique, some swordsmen practice for a year, while others only practice for three months. However, the swordsmen who practice for three months may have a higher level of familiarity with the sword than those who practice for a year. This is the difference between genius and mediocrity.
Every swordsman has a different understanding of the sword.
Xuantian, obviously one of the best, originally had an extraordinary understanding of swords, and after merging with the white jade sword in his brow, his understanding of swords became even more extraordinary, transcending the ordinary, and entering a state of divine transformation, a rare genius in the world of swordsmanship.
Xuantian Refining Sword, one day is equivalent to ten days of a general sword genius, and it may be equivalent to a hundred days of an ordinary swordsman.
It's not an exaggeration to describe Xuan Tian's swordsmanship training as "making a thousand miles in one day".
Xuān Tiān had already made some progress in the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique", and now that he had learned the "Absolute Shadow Heart Method", his further cultivation of the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique" was advancing at an incredible pace.
In just two days, Xuantian had already mastered the first six sword moves and perfectly merged them with the "Jueying Heart Method", allowing him to unleash the fastest and strongest strike of the "Jueying Sword Technique" at any time.
Apart from the Seventh Form 'Destroying God', Xuan Tian's cultivation of the first six forms had almost reached the level of minor completion.
For the seventh move, "Extinguishing God Style", Xuan Tian has already gained a great deal of insight. The "Extinguishing God Style" seems to have an extremely important relationship with the swordsman's sword intent. It is a combination of the previous six moves' sword techniques and sword intent, emitting a blow that is both real and fake, true and false, making it impossible for the opponent to distinguish between reality and illusion, and in a daze, they will already have lost their life.
Just like the five swordsmen in 'Sword Intent Heaven Array', their cultivation far surpassed Xuan Tian, but under the virtual and real sword light attacks that were difficult to distinguish between true and false, they all lost their lives, dying a tragic death.
On the sixth day, Xuantian continued to refine his sword.
Heart-destroying style, throat-piercing style, eyebrow-stabbing style, waist-cutting style, headless style, body-splitting style. The six sword moves of the "Absolute Shadow Sword Technique" were executed at extreme speed under Xuantian's sword.
Every time he draws his sword, the innate true energy within Xuan Tian's body instinctively follows the 'Absolute Shadow Heart Method' and circulates, unleashing a perfect strike.
"Zhòng Yuè Jiàn" in Xuán Tiān's hands was just like Xuán Tiān's arm, feeling as if it were a part of his body.
Xuantian's understanding of the sword has reached a higher level, the sword and his body seem to be as one.
Every time he executes a sword move, Xuan Tian will produce a feeling of comfort that has reached its peak.
The 'Zhong Yue Sword' in Xu Tian's hand hummed without vibration, and the sword energy naturally surged towards all directions.
Xuantian's mastery of 'Absolute Shadow Swordsmanship' has reached an unprecedented depth.
When you master one skill, you can learn all others.
Xuān Tiān's body refinement also reached a new level as he practiced sword cultivation, as if all the pores on his skin were open and breathing, his meridians excitedly trembling...
