Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 511: Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate and Sword and Man Become One

Lu Yang, a genius in both swordsmanship and spellcasting, had undeniable talent.

In terms of spellcasting, he could rival Yun Zhi.

In swordsmanship, he showed signs of surpassing Bu Yu Taoist.

"Originally, I planned to teach you the basics of sword techniques, but it seems there's no need."

Basic sword techniques are the foundation of swordsmanship; even a slight deviation can significantly alter their power.

"The sword techniques I know require high levels of cultivation, so I can't teach you those. The technique 'One Sword Turns into Ten Thousand' requires a massive reserve of spiritual power. Your spiritual power reserve is outstanding at the Golden Elixir stage, and even among Elemental Infant stage cultivators, few have your level of spiritual power. However, you're still a ways off from being able to use 'One Sword Turns into Ten Thousand.'"

"When you reach the Elemental Infant stage, I can teach you 'One Sword Turns into Ten Thousand.'"

'One Sword Turns into Ten Thousand' is actually a technique meant for the Divine Transformation stage. One swing of the sword, and ten thousand swords follow, like an army blotting out the sky. It's a technique all sword cultivators dream of mastering.

Considering Lu Yang's talent in swordsmanship and his vast spiritual power reserve, he might be able to use it at the Elemental Infant stage.

"You don't need me to teach you Sword Flight."

"Learning 'No Sword is Better than a Sword' is too early for you now; it could lead you astray. Besides, you have the Green Peak Sword; 'no sword' can't beat 'a sword.'"

"The basic requirement for 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect' is the Divine Transformation stage; you're far from that."

"As for my ultimate move, 'Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate,' it's even more challenging. Without reaching the Body Fusion stage, don't even think about it."

Bu Yu Taoist listed various sword techniques, none of which were suitable for Lu Yang to learn.

"'Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate'? Did you come up with that yourself, Master?" Lu Yang had never heard of this move.

Bu Yu Taoist sighed and shook his head. "It was out of necessity, not my intention."

He admitted it.

Lu Yang looked at Bu Yu Taoist with admiration. Sword cultivators don't have many techniques, such as 'Man and Sword as One' and 'One Sword Turns into Ten Thousand.' These have been passed down through the ages, and sword cultivators learn them by following tradition.

The same technique can have vastly different effects depending on one's understanding of swordsmanship.

Bu Yu Taoist, who created his own sword technique, was a rare case.

The only other self-created sword technique cultivator Lu Yang knew of was the Supreme of the Sword Tower.

There are many sword techniques in the cultivation world, like the Falling Rain Sword Technique, Hundred Flowers Sword Technique, Dawn Sword Technique, and Carefree Sword Technique. Some sword cultivators aren't good at naming, so there are multiple techniques with the same name. Lu Yang knew of at least four Carefree Sword Techniques.

"Out of necessity?"

When Master created this move, he should have been a Body Fusion stage cultivator. There shouldn't have been many opponents in the cultivation world.

Could it be that Master had too many enemies, and they ambushed him while he was unprepared? Facing a hundred or so of the same level, even someone as strong as Master would find it hard to escape. Under continuous attacks, Master was gravely injured and on the brink of death. At the critical moment, he had an epiphany and created a life-and-death-breaking sword move—'Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.'

With this sword, even the heavens would have a gap!

Bu Yu Taoist stroked his white beard and said, "That was over a thousand years ago. At the time, I made a mistake, and your grandmaster confined me to Tianmen Peak for ten years, forbidding me to leave. You know me, a cultivator of the mortal world; how could I stay indoors?"

"But there was no choice. Your grandmaster's cultivation was higher than mine, and he was skilled in sealing techniques. He sealed the entire peak."

"I realized this wouldn't do. If it continued, I'd really be confined for ten years."

"At that moment, I entered a state of enlightenment, meditating on the spot. My body became a furnace, and all my insights into swordsmanship were refined, evolved, tempered, and honed in that furnace. Finally, I unleashed a sword strike that broke the seal of Tianmen Peak!"

"I named this move 'Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.'"

Lu Yang: "..."

Master, your process of comprehending a sword move is not what I imagined.

"Speaking of sword cultivators, I once encountered one before I became an Immortal. He was indeed the most formidable opponent of the same realm, incredibly strong."

The Immortal Fairy recalled a past event upon seeing Bu Yu Taoist's sword technique.

"Please tell us more, Fairy." Hearing about a fellow sword cultivator, Lu Yang became interested.

It's rare to hear about ancient sword cultivators.

"That sword cultivator was named Liu Ningxuan, a master of both the zither and sword, known as the Zither Sword Venerable. You know the move 'Man and Sword as One,' right? He created it."

Lu Yang's eyes widened slightly. 'Man and Sword as One' is a famous sword move that can elevate one's combat power in the shortest time. It was said to be passed down from ancient times, but no one knew its origin or creator. Unexpectedly, the Fairy provided the answer.

"Liu Ningxuan was quite the fighter. Like all sword cultivators, he believed in his sword. Holding the sword, his entire aura changed, becoming incredibly intimidating. With the sword in hand, he could pierce through space, shatter the void, and even cut through time."

Lu Yang gasped. Piercing through space, shattering the void, cutting through time—these sounded incredibly powerful, far beyond what he could achieve now.

This Liu Ningxuan must have been one of the top sword cultivators of ancient times, perhaps even the best.

"With one sword strike, even someone as strong as me would have to retreat, unwilling to face it head-on."

"But in the end, he was still no match for me and fell at my hands."

"Fairy, you're amazing. How did the Zither Sword Venerable lose?"

"That battle was truly dangerous. We fought fiercely, causing destruction on a cosmic scale. Perhaps sensing a life-and-death crisis from me, he felt immense pressure and had a deeper understanding of swordsmanship."

"He realized that his original moves couldn't defeat me and needed innovation. He then used his newfound understanding to push 'Man and Sword as One' to a new level, never reached by anyone before."

"He became one with his sword, transforming into an immortal sword, his aura skyrocketing, as if creating a new world."

Lu Yang listened with shining eyes, immersed in the cosmic-level battle, eagerly asking, "And then?"

The Immortal Fairy scratched her head awkwardly. "And then? There was no 'then.' After becoming a sword, he found he fused too closely with it and couldn't change back."

Lu Yang: "..."

Fairy, did you never encounter a normal opponent when you became an Immortal?

At this moment, Bu Yu Taoist slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering something, interrupting Lu Yang's thoughts about the Fairy's glorious history.

"I just remembered, there's one move I can teach you."

"Which one?"

"'Man and Sword as One.' This move is a signature technique passed down from ancient times, capable of unleashing incredible power instantly, perfect for turning the tables and making a last-ditch comeback..."

"Not learning."

Lu Yang decisively refused.

Bu Yu Taoist was puzzled, unable to understand why his disciple rejected it so quickly and firmly.

Since 'Man and Sword as One' was out, it seemed there were no other sword techniques Lu Yang could learn at his current level.

"Alright then, I'll teach you how to comprehend swordsmanship."
