“Now, I’ve learned the four top lost secret techniques, namely the Innate Spirit Gathering Technique, the Supreme Body Tempering Technique, and the Supreme Talisman Painting Technique, and the Indestructible Vajra Body. These are the inheritances that only sword masters of every generation can learn.”
The Innate Spirit Gathering Technique was a kind of divine skill. It could condense the spirit of nature in the body and greatly strengthen the spell.
For example, when condensing the spirit of water, the power, range, and speed of the water-type spell would be twice that of a normal cultivator. If there were some rare spirit roots for Wu Ye to refine, the amplification would be even greater.
Wu Ye’s innate spirit roots were earth, wood, water, and gold.
Cultivating these four elements would allow him to condense the spirit of nature in the body straight away.
If he wanted to cultivate the fire or lightning elements, he would need the help of some heavenly and earthly treasures of the corresponding elements.
The Supreme Talisman Painting Technique was a kind of Talisman Sealing Technique.
The Supreme Body Tempering Technique was one of the necessary cultivation techniques to cultivate the supreme sword body. However, the Great Void Condensing Sword was adopted as the main technique. Only after cultivating the sword intent could he cultivate the body tempering technique and use the sword intent to temper his body.
However, Wu Ye had already obtained the Indestructible Vajra Body, so there was no need for him to cultivate the supreme sword body.
As long as he continued to cultivate the Supreme Body Tempering Technique to forge and strengthen the Indestructible Vajra Body, it would be enough.
If one were to compare the two, the supreme sword body would be a sharp spear, while the Indestructible Vajra Body, which had been forged and strengthened by the Supreme Body Tempering Technique, would be an even tougher shield.
The Indestructible Vajra Body was invulnerable to all evil. It could be said to have the fiercest fighting body.
“I’ve learned the four secret techniques, so I’ve become the sword master of this generation in a sense. However, I have yet to learn the Great Void Condensing Sword. It’s strange to hear that a sword master doesn’t practice swordsmanship, which is a pity.
“But… There’s nothing I can do about it.”
Wu Ye shook his head helplessly. After signing in for the past year, he had grasped one point, namely that no matter which part of the Sword Control Sect he signed in, he would not be able to obtain any rewards related to the sword.
He felt a strong sense of hostility.
It must be because of his urge to become a sword immortal that he had been given other rewards irrelevant to the sword.
Although he could not directly obtain sword techniques through signing in, he could go to the Training Hall and practice sword techniques as usual.
As for sword techniques, he could not take shortcuts.
Therefore, if he wanted to become a sword immortal, he was still far from it.
Moreover, his current strength was still not powerful enough. Particularly when he signed in at the demon-slaying tower, he could clearly sense the terrifying aura.
Therefore, Wu Ye decided to continue living in seclusion and develop in secret.
Every day, he would bask in the sun, take a stroll, and take care of the spirit plants.
Of course, he had obtained many pills as well as heavenly and earthly treasures apart from some cultivation methods and secret techniques within this one year.
This also allowed his cultivation realm to steadily increase.
…
Ten years slowly passed.
At the herb garden of the Sword Control Sect.
Under a tree that was dozens of meters tall, the sparse sunlight penetrated through the leaves and shone on Wu Ye’s body.
At this moment, he was lying on a wooden rattan chair with a carefree expression. Beside him was an ordinary black iron long sword leaning against the tree.
Over the ten years, he was almost done signing in everywhere other than a few places in the Sword Control Sect.
Through years of signing in, he had gained a lot of experience.
Some places could be signed in repeatedly, whereas some places could only be signed in once.
Wu Ye was already very familiar with the topography of the entire Sword Control Sect and the few mountains within Qianyuan Mountain.
Every time he strolled around, it was as if he was strolling in his own backyard.
“Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I’ve joined the Sword Control Sect for a total of ten years.”
Wu Ye sighed intern.
Besides becoming more mature and handsome, he had also grown taller and sturdier.
In other aspects, he was not much different from ten years ago. He was still as simple as ever.
This was all because his current strength and cultivation had already reached the peak of the Soul Formation Realm. In addition, he had cultivated many top-tier cultivation techniques and secret techniques to the mastery level. Right now, he had the temperament of returning to the basics.
Even the current leader of the Sword Control Sect, Zhang Qishan, was only on the middle level of the Nascent Soul Realm. The only secret technique he had learned was the Great Void Condensing Sword.
Therefore, Wu Ye could be said to be the strongest person living in seclusion among others in the Sword Control Sect.
“The elders might think that ten years was just the duration of seclusion, but to me, everything has become different.”
Wu Ye glanced at the entire herb garden and muttered to himself.
Now, the entire herb garden was twice as big as before.
All kinds of spirit plants could be seen everywhere. Even some of the lost spirit plants had been cultivated by Wu Ye.
With such superb planting techniques, Elder Du and the elders of the Alchemy Hall looked at Wu Ye in a new light.
However, the majority of the Sword Control Sect disciples still treated Wu Ye with disdain.
After all, everyone was working hard to cultivate, and he was just wandering around here all day.
Of course, no one knew that this lazy disciple in their eyes was now the number one expert of the Sword Control Sect.
Also, he was the only one who had inherited the inheritance of many sword masters.
…
It was still night on this day.
During the night, Wu Ye signed in at the various construction sites of the Sword Control Sect as usual.
At Qianyuan Mountain, demon-slaying tower, and the foot of a remote mountain in the southeast corner.
A black-robed man covered in gray fog slowly appeared, emitting an aura of death.
“Blood Soul Demon Master… This Sword Control Sect doesn’t have a sword master holding down the town. With the help of my Ghost Spirit Sect, you’ll soon be able to break the sword master’s seal, and it’ll see the light of day again.”
The black-robed man’s voice was hoarse and deep as he muttered to himself.
In the next moment, the black-robed man’s body was covered in a deathly fog. His body turned into a wisp of gray fog as he rose toward the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain was the demon-slaying tower.
At the same time, Wu Ye, who was signing in on the seventh floor of the scripture pavilion, suddenly frowned and looked up at the night sky.
Then, a golden light flashed in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he revealed an inexplicable smile.
“Interesting…”
Meanwhile, under the demon-slaying tower that was sealed by countless chains and talismans, the black-robed man raised his head to look at the tower in front of him. A trace of caution flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Although the Sword Control Sect no longer had a sword master in charge, the flaming sun chains and evil-slaying talismans outside the demon-slaying tower were arranged by the sword masters of past generations.
Once a demon touched the chains, it would be burned by the flaming sun and turned into ashes.
While some more powerful and talented demons could resist the torture from the flame of the sun chains, the countless evil-slaying talismans would release evil-slaying sword qi that would continuously attack the demons’ souls and spirits, leaving them in a weakened state forever.
These things had a natural suppressive effect on the demons..
