Chapter 137 - 137 Nascent Soul Sword Mantra
After devouring the two soul lights... The left and right protector’s soul lights allowed Zhou Yun’s soul to be greatly solidified, allowing him to rapidly absorb the experience he gained from battle and grow rapidly. The more he fought, the braver he became, and the stronger he became!
Now, he had completely mastered the Saint Fire Body, and he could also fully control the comprehensive intent in his body! In the mid-stage foundation establishment, Zhou Yun had already tempered his body and spiritual energy to the extreme!
Zhou Yun felt the spiritual energy in his body. There was only one thing left for him to do, and that was to continue comprehending the Saint Fire Mantra, which could allow him to directly cultivate to the nascent soul stage. Once he had thoroughly comprehended the cultivation technique of the mid-stage foundation establishment, he could begin to break through to the late-stage foundation establishment!
“I didn’t expect it to be three weeks since I broke through to the mid-stage foundation establishment,” Zhou Yun said. Too many things happened during this period of time, and Zhou Yun felt that time was passing by very quickly.
Although three weeks to break through from the mid-stage foundation establishment to the late-stage foundation establishment was a terrifying speed for others, it was still too slow for Zhou Yun! Originally, he could have directly broken through to the late-stage foundation establishment or even the golden core stage! In order to solidify his foundation, Zhou Yun chose to suppress his realm.
Now, it seemed that his choice was right! Not only had he mastered the secret techniques of the Saint Fire Body and the comprehensive intent, but he had also mastered a powerful cultivation technique like the Saint Fire Mantra.
“Maybe I should start cultivating a new sword mantra. In this battle, although I was able to win, it was all because of my strong foundation. I won with my solid foundation. However, I only used the Fire Sword Intent and the Saint Fire Body. In terms of the sword mantra, I only have the self-comprehended self-sacrificing sword strike, but his move is too risky. The other sword mantras can’t keep up with my current level.
“As for the Saint Fire Body, I’m studying the Saint Fire Mantra now, but I haven’t found a better way to attack.
“Therefore, in order to improve my strength in the short term, I should learn new sword mantras besides continuing to comprehend the Saint Fire Mantra. It’s best if it’s a high-level sword mantra.” Zhou Yun said.
He didn’t care about ordinary sword mantras. After all, ordinary sword mantras weren’t even as powerful as the sword mantras he had comprehended from a moment of enlightenment. Only a sword mantra on the level of the Saint Fire Mantra, created by a nascent soul stage expert, could truly increase his strength to a large extent. Moreover, it could even allow Zhou Yun’s comprehension of the sword mantra to improve even more!
“After obtaining the Saint Fire Mantra, I’ve already easily entered the state of being one with the sword with the Fire Dragon Sword. But I still lack a sword mantra that can keep up.” Zhou Yun rummaged through his bag.
Inside the bag were the manuals given by Venerable Xunling.
“Venerable Xunling gave me the Fire Dragon Sword and a top-notch defensive spiritual weapon. I wonder who he is? I wonder if there are any powerful manuals.” Zhou Yun still had some hope for Venerable Xunling.
After all, apart from the Fire Dragon Sword, the top-notch spiritual weapons he had on him could not only completely block the attacks of ordinary foundation establishment stage cultivators but also store spiritual energy!
Zhou Yun had the Saint Fire Body, which was much more powerful than ordinary cultivators. He might not be interested in the first function. However, the second function of storing spiritual energy was something he couldn’t let go of.
According to Zhou Yun’s conservative estimate, the amount of spiritual energy that could be stored in this top-notch defensive spiritual weapon was equivalent to the entire amount of spiritual energy that a late-stage golden core cultivator would have. It was very suitable for someone like Zhou Yun, who consumed a lot of spiritual energy and had a lot of spiritual energy stored in it!
“And because the spiritual energy in this is stored by the user, it can be used at any time.” This was also the reason why Zhou Yun was able to win in dangerous situations several times and was able to release his spiritual energy without restraint!
“That’s why the two spiritual weapons that Venerable Xunling gave us were top-notch spiritual weapons. They were the most precious spiritual weapons that the five sects could only dream of. The manual he gave me shouldn’t be too bad either.”
Zhou Yun opened the bag expectantly. A dozen manuals were revealed. He glanced over and removed the movement techniques and other manuals related to the body.
Zhou Yun’s entire body of comprehensive intent had already gone through enlightenment and combined dozens of comprehensive intent and manuals into an iron bucket. The overall power that was unleashed was already more powerful than the different individual manuals. There was no longer a need to learn new manuals and give up on the comprehensive intent.
“There are three books left.” Zhou Yun looked at the remaining three manuals. One was about alchemy, the other was about sword mantras, and the last one was about knife techniques. They had nothing to do with the body and were all external things.
“I’ll put my alchemy skills aside for now. I’ll take a look at it when I’m about to break through to the late-stage foundation establishment. As for the knife technique, it’s not impossible if I want to change to cultivating the knife now. Although, I only have the Fire Dragon Sword. I don’t have a matching spiritual weapon to cultivate the knife technique, so I’ll give up.”
In the end, Zhou Yun only kept the sword manual and kept the other manuals in his bag. Although it seemed that these manuals were not of much use for the time being, they might be useful in the future. Anyway, he had the Enlightenment System. If he kept it, he might be able to cultivate it when he was in the mood.
“This sword manual is the 13 Swords of the Divine Gate. What a strange name, it sounds like the name of some sect.” Zhou Yun opened the 13 Swords of the Divine Gate. He quickly read through it and then frowned.
“The sword technique of the 13 Swords of the Divine Gate is very powerful, and its power is so strong that even nascent soul cultivators can continue to use it! However, the requirements for this cultivation are also very high! It actually requires the minimum cultivation stage to be the golden core stage! Then why did you give me this manual?”
Zhou Yun did not expect that the mysterious Venerable Xunling would also take out a terrifying sword mantra that could be cultivated to the nascent soul stage!
Originally, Zhou Yun had never heard of the term ‘nascent soul’ anywhere. Now, he had actually met two people who had a nascent soul stage manual!
“Who are Venerable Xunling and Meng Yuxin?” Zhou Yun thought for a while and decided to keep this question to himself. What he needed to do now was to become stronger!
“It’s a sword mantra that only golden core cultivators can practice. The 13 Swords of the Divine Gate is so harsh!” Zhou Yun’s frown deepened as he flipped through the sword manual. Now, there was a treasure in front of him, but he could only look at it and cry!
“Can’t I practice it in advance? Or is it because my body can’t keep up with the consumption of the sword mantra?” Zhou Yun thought of the nascent soul that could only be cultivated in the golden core stage. His body was supported by the Saint Fire Body. Although it might not be stronger than a golden core cultivator’s body, it was not much weaker!
In terms of spiritual energy, Zhou Yun was currently cultivating the Saint Fire Mantra. In addition to the understanding of his thoughts, his spiritual energy had already reached a terrifying level of seventy times that of ordinary people! It could be said to be a sea of spiritual energy!
Moreover, in terms of comprehending sword intent, ordinary golden core cultivators had just reached the moderate stage of sword intent. He had completely transcended the great stage of sword intent and reached the realm of man and sword as one!
“Why is it that only golden core cultivators can cultivate it?” Zhou Yun flipped to the last page of the sword manual.
