Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 645 - 597: The Sword to Command Others

...

In the following days, Wu Hen's afternoon classes were moved to the bamboo grove.

To ensure that Fairy Gong Qin's concern was alleviated, Wu Hen no longer slacked off and earnestly began learning the Sword Immortal Technique.

Fairy Gong Qin was focused on teaching and naturally didn't dwell on heart demon issues. Moreover, in their interactions, she discovered that Wu Hen's rage was even more exaggerated than her own heart demon's influence. Compared to his grand feat of wanting to expel the entire human clan upon returning to his homeland, Fairy Gong Qin felt she was still a living Bodhisattva.

Swordsmanship is complex, requiring immediate and intricate Dharma Seals while also merging intention with the Artifact Spirit to reach the so-called realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

"So, having no sword in mind means reaching the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man?" Wu Hen, uncharacteristically like a diligent student, earnestly inquired.

"What I mean by 'no sword in mind' is that the Sword Immortal's sword isn't just a weapon; even these lush bamboos around us can become extremely sharp weapons, like this…" Fairy Gong Qin said, forming a sword gesture with her hand.

With a gentle flick of the sword gesture, the tall bamboos in the grove uprooted themselves, transforming into over ten meters long flexible bamboo swords. With Fairy Gong Qin's intent, the purple bamboos were wrapped in a sharp aura akin to metal, turning the bamboos into giant swords more terrifying than ordinary divine weapons!

"Stop ruining these bamboos, or the grove will be bare soon." Wu Hen hurriedly said.

He wasn't trying to stop Fairy Gong Qin from demonstrating how to wield objects into swords, but rather Fairy Gong Qin's power was evidently in an uncontrollable state. She claimed to have formed a sword array with the bamboo grove, yet as her intent was released, every elongated plant from the green spaces in Infinite City floated into the air…

A "Sword Forest" formed from the greenery above Infinite City, leaving more than just this little bamboo grove bare.

The residents of Infinite City looked up, perplexed by the spectacle, but being seasoned members of the Human Clan, they were not easily panicked by such trivial matters.

Fairy Gong Qin dispersed her intent.

She was generous enough to restore the city's green spaces to their original state rather than letting them fall like a rain of swords, though the plants that had been shooting up and down might not survive the ordeal.

"I understand what you mean now, having no sword in mind means not overly relying on weapons forged and crafted by oneself. Your well-intentions are clear—I understand. My Little Jianjian is lazy and often goes into hibernation without warning. Though strong, I cannot rely on it to solve all problems. At such times, if I can use your Sword Immortal's 'no sword in mind' technique, I can defeat powerful enemies without summoning the Sword Spirit." Wu Hen nodded, appearing studious.

"Try to envision countless threads, manifesting a sword's image in your mind, resonating with heaven and earth, and then everything can become your sharp sword, even the gentle rivers," suggested Fairy Gong Qin.

Wu Hen closed his eyes, mimicking, and began to perform the Sword Immortal Finger Seal.

His intent was powerful, and the concept of envisioning countless threads was indeed similar to Spirit Master techniques, merely replacing the various spiritual factors and active elements with flora, mountains, and minerals.

The formula was the same, merely tweaking the numbers.

For Wu Hen, this was simple.

He visualized the Divine Shadow of the Sword in his mind, essentially morphing various shaped objects to resemble swords.

Then, Wu Hen resonated with heaven and earth, spreading his intent across a vast range. A small range would only transform the pebbles beneath his feet into sword artifacts, a mere trick, unworthy of a grand Sword Immortal.

Expanding the range enough, until the clouds and rain, mountains and forests, all transformed into his heart's sharp sword — that embodied the true grandeur of a Sword Immortal.

After completing Heaven and Earth Resonance, Wu Hen focused on his dantian, attempting to release a powerful chant.

An intangible wave spread through the world, yet no grass or leaf rustled, no water surface rippled; the abundant greenery of Infinite City lay still, and not a brick quivered.

Yet, the people walking the streets of Infinite City suddenly "rose from the ground," as if drawn upward by a massive magnet in the sky!

The next moment, Large individuals burst from the windows of various styled architectures in Infinite City, controlled by some force, plunged into the clouds without explanation, their arms pressed to their sides as if piercing into the sky.

"Oh no, these Immortals are finally revealing their true colors, about to offer us as sacrifices to Heaven!"

"Wretched Immortals, using us mortals for Heavenly Repair, I always said this Human Clan meeting was a trap!"

"I don't want to be used to fill sky pits!"

A dense crowd filled the sky, at times forming arrays, at times swirling into human whirlpools…

The city below empty, the sky filled with living people.

These living people mysteriously transformed into sword weapons as part of the Sword Control Technique, forming a spectacular Living Sword Pit. With the expanded Heaven and Earth Resonance, more people turned into sword artifacts, creating an excessively grand Immortal Sword Technique in the air.

Curiously enough, some of the more rotund individuals remained safe on the ground. The slimmer they were, the easier they were pulled skyward, resonating with some powerful intent.

In the bamboo grove, Wu Hen opened his eyes.

It's said that performing formulas with eyes closed helps focus.

But upon opening them, and seeing the "crowds of people in the sky," Wu Hen was stunned!

"Did you not exclude living beings from your Heaven and Earth Resonance?" Fairy Gong Qin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Previously, Fairy Gong Qin feared she might one day commit an act that would anger both gods and men. However, witnessing Wu Hen's Sword Technique, she realized that compared to her slight negative feelings, Wu Hen was the true Great Demon.

"You didn't mention an exclusion procedure!" Wu Hen countered.

"How exactly did you envision it?"

"How to explain… basically any elongated object was imagined as a sword!" Wu Hen quickly clarified.

"So, the entire city's living beings, particularly the thin ones, were turned into sword weapons by you." Fairy Gong Qin felt a mix of helplessness and self-blame, adding, "It's my fault too for overlooking your extremely powerful divine sense. During the envisioning stage, you need a selection process, or post Heaven and Earth Resonance, all highly energetic entities will automatically resonate with you."

"Oh, that's not too bad, meaning these living people turned into my sword weapons must have excellent physical attributes, bodies as hard as divine iron, far sharper than the flora on mountains and valleys! That too counts as Man and Sword Unite!" Wu Hen remarked.
