I didn't know if Ah Mo was telling the truth or not. However, I didn't care if Daoist Huang Zhu had told me that or not. At this moment, I found a way out of this awkward situation. I smiled and didn't think about it anymore. I told Ah Mo, "We shouldn't delay this matter. I can't stay here for a long time."
Hearing my words, Ah Mo's expression became solemn. She nodded and brought me to the courtyard to sit down. She took out the letter and prepared to explain it to me.
But before he could speak, I waved my hand and called Mi Tai over.
After all, this letter was a secret technique of Ah Mo's sect, so it wasn't convenient for Mi Tai to hear it. Thus, I pondered for a while. When Mi Tai came before me, I took out the Armor Stripping Sword from Xiang Liu's pouch and handed it over to him. With a solemn expression, I said, "This sword is called Armor Stripping. Although it doesn't look impressive, its power is extraordinary.
Since you've already learned the way of the sword, you'll need a suitable weapon to keep you by your side. I'll give this sword to you. I hope you'll cultivate well and don't bear this sword. "
Then, I emphasized the existence of Senior Armor Stripping Sword. I told Mi Tai that Senior Armor Stripping Sword was the sword spirit of the Armor Stripping Sword and that he had to revere him. If he came across something he didn't understand, he should humbly ask for guidance from Senior.
Previously, when I heard Mi Tai say that he had received Ah Mo's teachings in swordsmanship, I was considering whether I should pass the Armor Stripping Sword to him.
After all, although Mi Tai had learned swordsmanship, he did not have a sharp weapon with him, so he could not use his full strength when fighting with others.
Although the Armor Dismantling Sword is extraordinary, it is still an ordinary sword. Its power is far inferior to the Xuan-Yuan Sword in my body. Moreover, based on my current strength, the Armor Dismantling Sword is of little use to me. Instead of keeping it by my side, I might as well give it to Mi Tai to make up for not teaching him all these years.
When Mi Tai heard this, he felt extremely flattered. He quickly knelt on the ground and respectfully accepted the sword. He said solemnly, "Disciple will obey Master's orders and will not disappoint Master's expectations."
I nodded slightly and told him to find a secluded place to cultivate in peace.
After receiving the order, Mi Tai left the place.
After he left, I pondered for a moment before summoning the spirit snake.
After the Spirit Snake came out, its face was calm. It looked around and gave Ah Mo a slight nod. Then, it asked, "What's the matter?"
Previously, every time he was summoned, this fellow would either look as if he had not woken up from his slumber, or he would have a cheeky smile on his face. However, his current demeanor was completely different from before.
It seemed that after the incident with Huihui, the snake spirit's temperament had also changed greatly.
I sighed and told him that not only was the Wangwu Heavenly Abode rich in spiritual energy, but it also had four True Dragon Veins, which were extremely good for him to recover from his injuries and increase his strength.
I will be staying here for a month so that he can make the best use of the time to cultivate.
After listening to me, the spirit snake nodded and didn't say anything. Then, it turned around and flew away.
After he left, I felt quite emotional.
The word 'growth' was related to nothing more than one's experience. The things that had happened recently might not be a bad thing for the snake spirit.
After the snake spirit left, Ah Mo and I started to study the sword cultivation method in the handbook.
Before we started, Ah Mo asked me if I had already nurtured the sword.
I naturally understood what he meant. Before Taoist Huang Zhu died, he told me that the key to this sword cultivation method was to 'nurture the sword with the person, and nurture the person with the sword'. He also said that if I nurtured the sword according to his sword technique, it wouldn't take long for my strength to increase greatly.
After that, I indeed learned the Sword Swallowing Technique and nurtured the Xuanyuan Sword in my spare time. However, apart from being able to use the Xuanyuan Sword's power to intimidate the opponent during a fight, my cultivation base didn't increase at all.
Previously, when I heard Mi Tai's story, I was puzzled.
Now that Ah Mo mentioned the matter of nurturing the sword, I naturally told him the details and also told him all the doubts in my heart.
After listening to me, Ah Mo frowned, as if he didn't know the reason for the time being.
I wasn't anxious and just waited quietly.
After about fifteen minutes, Ah Mo seemed to have thought of something and looked at me thoughtfully. He said, "I remember that Master once told me that the method of nurturing the sword differs from person to person. To be more precise, it should be related to the cultivator's bloodline talent.
Elder, perhaps you should look for the reason from the bloodline talent. "
As expected of a natural sword embryo. I hadn't considered such a theory before. From what he said, he seemed to be quite insightful.
I started to ponder. Logically speaking, when I was pressing my acupuncture points, I had the top four meridians. Moreover, when I was at Glorious Consciousness, I had all five elements. My cultivation talent was extremely good, so this change obviously wasn't due to my talent. In that case, the Xuanyuan Sword was most likely affected by the power of the bloodline.
Apart from that, I also heard that most sword cultivators cultivate a single cultivation method, and that they are one with the sword to achieve the highest realm.
Moreover, I cultivate the path of witchcraft and have learned many techniques from the Death Scripture. My aura is extremely chaotic, with all sorts of techniques on me. Perhaps this affected the effect of nurturing the sword.
With that thought in mind, I communicated with Ah Mo to ask if my guess was correct.
Ah Mo pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "I don't think so.
Everyone can cultivate the sword cultivation method. I've never heard of anyone being unable to cultivate the sword. The only difference is the speed of cultivation.
Elder has already taken the first step in cultivating the Sword Swallowing Incantation.
As for the following sword arts, even if elder's bloodline is affected, I believe that as long as you understand the essence of the sword arts, it shouldn't be difficult for you to grasp fifty to sixty percent of it within a month. "
After hearing what he said, my mind regained some clarity.
It made sense. If the chaotic aura affected the cultivation of the sword, I wouldn't be able to cultivate any sword cultivation method in my current situation, nor would I be able to cultivate the Sword Swallowing Incantation so easily.
Thinking about that, I didn't dwell on this matter anymore. I nodded and gestured for Ah Mo to begin.
I came here today to seek the sword cultivation method. No matter what, I should cultivate it first. Even if I didn't manage to cultivate it, it would just be a last-minute failure.
Ah Mo didn't say anything more. After thinking for a moment, he got me to take out the sword that was nurtured in my body. I would need to use it along with the sword arts later.
He would naturally be in charge of the sword cultivation method.
Hearing that, I nodded and spat out the Xuan Yuan Sword from my mouth.
The moment the Xuan Yuan Sword appeared, Ah Mo's face revealed a look of surprise.
I found it strange. When I opened the Xuan Yuan Sword box, he had witnessed the true appearance of the Xuan Yuan Sword with me.
At that time, he didn't look so surprised. Why did he look like this now?
Before I could ask, Ah Mo asked, "This King's Sword … Why is it completely different from before?"
Different?
I was confused. The Xuan Yuan Sword had been with me for many years but I didn't notice any changes. What did Ah Mo mean by that?
He was born with a Sword Embryo and had an extraordinary understanding of the Way of the Sword, and even the sword itself. Although the Xuanyuan Sword was an ancient divine weapon, it was still a sword. Since Ah Mo had said this, it was obvious that he had sensed something.
I hurriedly asked Ah Mo what he had discovered, but he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he took the Xuan Yuan Sword from my hand and placed it on his legs. Then, he closed his eyes, as though he was sensing something.
After a moment, Ah Mo sat motionlessly. The Xuan Yuan Sword suddenly gave off a golden light. The golden light was so intense that it hurt my eyes. I didn't dare to look at it directly.
After a few seconds, a brilliant aura appeared in the golden light, causing my entire body to tremble.
I felt that this situation was familiar … After thinking for a moment, I remembered that the first time I opened the Xuan Yuan Sword box, the same situation had happened.
However, I had nurtured the Xuan Yuan Sword for many years and hadn't drawn out this aura.
Why did the aura appear again when Ah Mo had just touched it?
Was a natural sword embryo body so magical?
As he pondered, the brilliant and dignified power only lasted for a few seconds before suddenly disappearing. The golden light from before also disappeared, and Ah Mo opened her eyes. At this moment, she was looking at the Xuan-Yuan Sword with a burning gaze, and joy could be seen between her brows.
Everything happened very quickly just now. After I came back to my senses, I took a closer look at Ah Mo. Only then did I realize that his cultivation had improved quite a bit compared to before.
When I saw him previously, he was only at the initial stage of the seal realm. Now, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the seal realm!
In reality, this wasn't the first time that Ah Mo had used the Xuan Yuan Sword to increase his cultivation. The last time the Xuan Yuan Sword box had been opened, the golden light had landed on Ah Mo's body, allowing him to jump from the peak of the Dragon Seeking realm to the Pressure Point realm. Moreover, he had activated his four meridians.
If that was the case, then the same thing had happened. Or, Ah Mo had grasped some kind of function of the Xuan Yuan Sword.
If he had discovered the magical function of the Xuan Yuan Sword, then it seemed that he could use it on me too. If that was the case, the rapid increase in cultivation in a short period of time wasn't just a fantasy.
My heart couldn't help but throb as I hurriedly asked Ah Mo what had happened.
Ah Mo took a deep breath and calmed his aura before saying to me, "Previously, I used a sword cultivation technique to combine my consciousness with the King Sword, which resulted in the strange phenomenon just now.
Based on my guess, to activate the power of the King Sword, I need to achieve unity of mind. In other words, I need to use my mind to control the King Sword, just like this … "
As he said that, he placed the Xuan Yuan Sword at the side and closed his eyes again. In a flash, the Xuan Yuan Sword actually flew out on its own. After circling a few times in the air, a sword aura slashed towards the ground.
With a loud rumble, the ground shook violently. Where the sword aura landed, there was a gap of a few meters.
I couldn't help but be shocked. Even though the power of this attack couldn't compare to the sword aura and dao aura that I had used, it was enough to make me gasp in surprise.
After all, Ah Mo's cultivation was only at the middle stage of the seal realm, and he had just advanced. For him to be able to use such an attack was simply unbelievable.
If I could also grasp the unity of mind, I could use the Xuan Yuan Sword with my mind. Under my control, the power of the Xuan Yuan Sword would only be greater. Just now, I also noticed that Ah Mo didn't use much dao aura. It wasn't like before, where every time I used the Xuan Yuan Sword, I would almost use up all of my dao aura.
