Chapter 1149: Chapter 727: Do You Know Your Crime? (Part 3)

However, Gao Xuan is still more interested in the Cyan Leaf Sword Spirit.

Gao Xuan has great talent in cultivation, but he considers his true talent to be in the Sword Dao.

He is quite proud of his self-created Water Heaven Sword.

Until now, Gao Xuan’s strongest combat methods remain the Hongyi Sword and the Water Heaven Sword.

In Ziwei Star Palace, Gao Xuan was in quite a predicament being attacked by Aoba. If not for his Divine Soul being far superior to the opponent’s, he would have fallen.

To be fair, the Cyan Leaf Sword Technique indeed surpasses his by far.

In Gao Xuan’s view, the Cyan Leaf Sword Technique is already close to the Dao. It’s just that Aoba’s cultivation level is too low.

Gao Xuan used the Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw to absorb the Cyan Leaf Sword Spirit and extract Aoba’s memories and Divine Soul Power characteristics.

Aoba’s memories were uneventful; she was adopted by the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch from a young age. The Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch used all sorts of efforts to provoke her Sword Spirit within her Divine Soul.

Afterward, Aoba just kept practicing the sword. She seldom acted, so much so that the outside world didn’t know there was such an unparalleled Sword Dao expert in the Demon Sect.

Within Aoba’s Sword Spirit was stored a strand of pure Innate Sword Intent.

Although Aoba’s Sword Spirit shattered, this strand of Sword Intent did not shatter. The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw can absorb various Divine Soul Powers but cannot absorb this strand of pure Sword Intent.

Gao Xuan looked at all of Aoba’s memories regarding the Sword Technique and found she was born knowing the Cyan Leaf Sword Technique; all cultivation was merely to excavate the power of her Sword Spirit.

For Aoba, using the Cyan Leaf Sword Technique was instinctual.

The Cyan Leaf Sword is divided into three moves: thrust, slash, and transform.

Thrust and slash are the simplest, whereas the transformation rune technique is the most complex.

Transformation is a general term for conversion and changes in sword technique. The one sword transform into ten thousand swords that Aoba last performed was the character transformation technique.

This is the simplest application of the character transformation technique. The character transformation technique can also be used for cultivation, refining myriad laws and entities.

Gao Xuan cultivated according to the magic technique and found the Cyan Leaf Sword to be increasingly profound.

In comparison, his Water Heaven Sword, though good, has too many changes, like magic, losing the purity of the sword.

The most crucial aspect of the Sword Dao is utmost refinement and purity.

The Cyan Leaf Sword, such unparalleled Sword Technique, ultimately condensed into three moves. It has already been condensed to a certain extreme.

Yet, with a single sword in hand, Aoba naturally had endless Divine Power. No matter how many changes Gao Xuan’s Sword Technique had, it still couldn’t hold its head high.

Gao Xuan felt deeply enlightened by this. His future Sword Dao should also be refined and condensed, eliminating complex changes.

Of course, it doesn’t mean his Water Heaven Sword lacks value.

On the contrary, without the current Water Heaven Sword, he wouldn’t have come this far. From simplicity to complexity, then from complexity to simplicity, every step in between is crucial.

It’s like a child’s innocence from nature, while an elder maintaining a simple state is wisdom.

The two seem the same, but the realms differ vastly.

The Eternal Celestial Dragon Claw cannot refine a strand of Cyan Leaf Sword Intent, nor does Gao Xuan want to risk using his Divine Soul to absorb this strand of Sword Intent.

While doing so could make his Sword Technique progress rapidly, it would cause his Divine Soul to lose its purity.

No matter how good this foreign power is, it is ultimately external power. A slight disharmony could disrupt his Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body.

A strand of Cyan Leaf Sword Intent is so exquisite, and it cannot be wasted.

After much consideration, Gao Xuan decided to invest this strand of Cyan Leaf Sword Intent into the Hongyi Sword.

Deep within the Hongyi Sword lies an endless Profound Nether Curse Sea, where the most refined Profound Nether Curses incessantly wear away this strand of Cyan Leaf Sword Intent.

Dripping water penetrates stone!

A strand of Cyan Leaf Sword Intent cannot be driven by Divine Intent, and under the erosion of the Profound Nether Curse Sea, soon disintegrates into dots of emerald light.

These light beams fall into the Profound Nether Curse Sea, instantly turning the deep sea of Profound Nether Curse into a sea of emerald green.

The green becomes increasingly concentrated, spreading continuously along the Profound Nether Curse Sea.

Gao Xuan was also amazed; what an incredible strand of Sword Intent—lucky he didn’t use his Divine Soul to absorb it. Otherwise, his Divine Soul would have been invaded by the Sword Intent, transforming himself... into green...

After enhanced by the Celestial Spirit Law, the Profound Nether Curse Sea surged three hundred billion times. It can be imagined how vast and majestic the Profound Nether Curse Sea is.

The Cyan Leaf Sword Intent tinged a small half of the Profound Nether Curse Sea, then had no more power to expand.

No matter how strong the Sword Intent, upon layers of expansion and dilution, its power is bound to become weaker.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Xuan saw the changes deep within the Cyan Leaf Sword Intent.

From his battle with Aoba, Gao Xuan initially grasped three-tenths of the Cyan Leaf Sword’s essence. Now, through the Profound Nether Curse Sea, he forcefully opened the Cyan Leaf Sword Intent.

The expanded Cyan Leaf Sword Intent by billions of times revealed all subtle changes.

Gao Xuan truly learned the thrust, slash, and transform three forms of the Cyan Leaf Sword.

But as for how to integrate the Cyan Leaf Sword with the Water Heaven Sword, Gao Xuan couldn’t come up with a good way for the moment.

Water Heaven Sword speaks to fluidity like water, vastness like the sky.

Netherworld Sword, Ice Soul Sword, Abyss Sword, these seemingly have no relation with water and heaven, yet their Sword Intent is closely linked.

On the other hand, Cyan Leaf Sword is entirely different; its Sword Intent is pure, without borrowing any external imagery; all the power lies in how to wield the Sword Artifact.

This focus on purity does not quite align with the path of the Water Heaven Sword.

Gao Xuan couldn’t think of a clue despite pondering for long; such an unparalleled Sword Technique itself surpasses his level, so it’s not something he can alter at will.

Similarly, the Shenxiao Thunder Emperor Painting is not something he can easily master.

Gao Xuan feels that if he can comprehend this point and integrate the Cyan Leaf Sword into the Water Heaven Sword, he should be able to prove the Dao with the sword and achieve the realm of Earth Immortal.

Right now, his powers are infinitely close to the Earth Immortal level, just short of a breakthrough. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Once he condenses the Earth Immortal Law, he can naturally obtain the empowerment of the laws of heaven and earth, becoming the ancestor of a domain.
