Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 512: Understanding the purpose of swordsmanship

"Your sword techniques possess such power; you must have a preliminary understanding of swordsmanship. To better comprehend and master it, you need to grasp its essence."

"The so-called swordsmanship embodies the ultimate principles within the sword."

"As for what these ultimate principles are, we'll discuss that later."

"Have you ever wondered why your spiritual root is called the sword spiritual root? If there's a sword spiritual root, could there be a blade spiritual root, a spear spiritual root, a staff spiritual root, or simply a weapon spiritual root?"

Lu Yang shook his head. He had never considered this question. He just felt that practicing with a sword came naturally to him, as if he was born with an affinity for it.

"The sword spiritual root is a mutation of the metal spiritual root. The metal spiritual root is characterized by its control over minerals and its strong offensive capabilities. The sword spiritual root abandons the control over minerals and mutates its offensive capabilities to the extreme."

"The so-called sword spiritual root doesn't mean you are naturally destined for the sword. It means you possess the most powerful offensive means, and the best carrier for this is the sword."

"Only by using the sword can you fully exploit the characteristics of your spiritual root."

Lu Yang was puzzled. "But when I cast spells, their power is almost the same as when I use the sword."

If the sword spiritual root could maximize offensive power, then swordsmanship should be the strongest.

Bu Yu Taoist looked at Lu Yang's confused expression and pondered for a moment. "This brings to mind an old saying."

"What old saying?"

"Geniuses don't follow common sense."

"Experience is summarized by predecessors, but they haven't seen everything. For example, they haven't seen you."

"And to say the sword spiritual root is the strongest isn't entirely accurate. Look at the four recorded ancient immortals; none of them used swords. If the sword spiritual root were the strongest, why hasn't anyone become an immortal using it?"

Lu Yang thought there might be one possible immortal, but they might have been too good at merging man and sword, killing themselves on the path to immortality.

In the Tribulation Crossing stage, being called a "formidable opponent" by the Immortal Fairy showed the opponent's strength.

The last person called a formidable opponent by the fairy was a peerless genius who turned words into reality as a passive skill.

And it's not that no immortals use swords. The Kylin Immortal often used a sword, and Lu Yang's Nether Moon Sword was reforged from the Kylin Immortal's sword.

"To comprehend swordsmanship, you need a clear purpose. Xiao Yang, why do you want to understand swordsmanship?"

Faced with this question, Lu Yang was silent for a long time. Since he started cultivating and using the sword, he had never thought about the purpose.

He had just gone with the flow, cultivating aimlessly.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if immersed in a sea of memories, recalling everything that had happened since he started cultivating:

When he first entered the sect, he made many friends. Although they often tricked each other, it was just friends' jokes. When he encountered problems, he sought help from his senior brothers and sisters, who were always willing to lend a hand and answer his questions. The eldest senior sister taught him and helped him lay a solid foundation. Though she was silent and reserved, Lu Yang could feel her care...

Lu Yang opened his eyes, looked directly into Bu Yu Taoist's eyes, and spoke his heart's answer with determination.

"To comprehend swordsmanship is to protect!"

He wanted to protect all these beautiful things!

Bu Yu Taoist knocked Lu Yang on the head.

"Protect my ass. Who needs your protection? Is it me or Little Yun?"

Lu Yang: "..."

He thought about it and realized it made sense. Meng Jingzhou and the others were all peerless geniuses. His senior brothers and sisters were even more skilled than him. He relied on them to back him up when he went out. As for the eldest senior sister, there was no need to mention her.

And his master, his master's enemies were not ones he could handle, so there was no need to protect?

"Stop thinking about useless things. Everything I just said was in vain. The sword is the most aggressive weapon. The purpose of comprehending swordsmanship is, of course, to pursue the ultimate attack!"

Lu Yang nodded honestly, admitting he had overthought it.

"A sword cultivator must be pure. The purer the pursuit, the better the understanding of swordsmanship!"

"The saying 'one sword breaks all techniques' hints at the way to comprehend swordsmanship!"

"And why is the 'Break' technique you use the most powerful among all techniques? Because 'Break' represents the pursuit of swordsmanship!"

Lu Yang recalled his process of comprehending swordsmanship. It was indeed the case. When he comprehended swordsmanship before, he didn't think about anything else, just how to become stronger through swordsmanship.

It unexpectedly matched the highest way of comprehending swordsmanship.

Though it seemed accidental, Lu Yang had some foresight. This could be seen from the reaction of the Immortal Fairy. When he comprehended swordsmanship, the Immortal Fairy didn't point out any mistakes or correct his way of comprehension, indicating his actions were correct.

What Lu Yang didn't know was that while he was listening to the lecture seriously, the Immortal Fairy in the spiritual space was also listening attentively, nodding frequently, and gaining a lot.

"So this is what swordsmanship is about." The Immortal Fairy suddenly understood. In ancient times, there were very few sword cultivators. Besides the Zither Sword Venerable, she hadn't encountered any other sword cultivators.

The Immortal Fairy felt lucky to have a golden finger. Since her resurrection, she had been resting and doing nothing. Following the golden finger allowed her to witness various interesting things in the current world of cultivation. The golden finger not only helped her with tasks but also allowed her to gain opportunities when he did.

It was a win-win situation.

With his master's guidance, Lu Yang suddenly saw the light. His previous cultivation felt like it was shrouded in a veil, which Bu Yu Taoist lifted today, making his mind clear.

He sat cross-legged and tried to comprehend swordsmanship according to Bu Yu Taoist's teachings.

"Pursue the ultimate attack..."

Bu Yu Taoist sensed the swordsmanship aura emanating from Lu Yang's meditation and nodded slightly. His little disciple's understanding of swordsmanship was truly astonishing.

Since that was the case, it was time for him to leave.

He had only returned to the sect while passing by on his way home. His path of cultivation lay in the outside world, in the mortal realm. Having taught Lu Yang the essence of swordsmanship, his visit was complete.

He swept his whisk and walked out of the sect.

As he stepped out of the sect, he saw countless marriage proposal teams blocking the mountain gate. When they saw Bu Yu Taoist, they showed strange and excited smiles.

"The intel was right. This bastard really returned to the Seek Tao Sect!"

"Bu Yu old thief, you finally came out!"

Bu Yu Taoist's hair stood on end, and countless attacks rained down on him.

"Bodhi Palm of Charity!" A giant green palm descended from the sky, larger than a mountain, with immeasurable weight.

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!" A cultivator surrounded by black energy increased his aura, filled with fighting spirit.

"All Martial Arts Deciphered!"

"Creation and Transformation Array!"

"Thunderous Roar!"

Boom—Boom—Boom—

Various dazzling attacks continued, shaking the earth and trembling the space.

Bu Yu Taoist silently retreated back into the sect.

His journey of cultivation outside could wait a bit longer.

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
