As the words of Steward Ma fell, Chu Weiyang's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear.
In place, the young man stepped with the Yu Steps, moving between the Stellar Steps, his hand forming a sword gesture.
Following the surge of his spiritual power, a strand of Startling Awakening Sword Intention turned into flowing light, swirling around Chu Weiyang as he moved.
Amidst the swirling light, Chu Weiyang moved with his thoughts, smoothly displaying the thirty-six forms of the "Springtime Sword" from the six chapters.
At the same time, within Chu Weiyang's five viscera and six bowels, the scorching heat flow transformed into abundant primordial qi and medicinal power, pouring towards the Qi Sea Dantian like a downpour, like the Milky Way pouring down into the sea of qi.
Active and passive cultivation operated simultaneously, the harmony between movement and stillness, embodying the great harmony of the Dao realm.
In a mere moment, the surging waves in Chu Weiyang's qi sea calmed down, all changes began to become orderly.
Even the diffusion of malevolent qi in his limbs and bones weakened significantly due to the effects of the medicinal power.
The greatest crisis in advancing from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi Refinement was alleviated, and Chu Weiyang's tense mind relaxed halfway, immersing himself in the operation of sword techniques under Steward Ma's guidance.
He understood why Steward Ma directed him to comprehend the Springtime Sword Intention and Rainwater Sword Intention.
Springtime, the beginning of establishment.
Spring qi begins and establishes.
The beginning of spring marks the start of the year, symbolizing the beginning of all things and new life.
If one must trace back to the origin of Chu Weiyang's entry into the path of cultivation, at the age of seven, it was to survive the famine disaster year, and from entering the Demon-Sealing Cave to the present, it was to avoid being eroded by malevolent qi and perishing.
All reasons lead back to the source of vitality.
In the Springtime Sword, the brewing of vitality is most valued during the beginning of spring.
Obtaining this sword intention confirms the essence of Chu Weiyang's cultivation!
As for Rainwater, it follows closely after the beginning of spring, a scene of abundant vitality before the Awakening of Insects, gentler compared to the fierce thunder and fire.
Ancient texts say: In the middle of the first month, heaven gives birth to water, spring belongs to wood.
However, those who give birth to wood must have water, hence the Rainwater following the Spring Equinox.
And when the east wind thaws, it disperses and turns into rain.
Therefore, this sword intention connects the beginning of vitality with the moderation of the latter, balancing yin and yang in one place, achieving temporary harmony.
Moreover, since ancient times, both orthodox and demonic classics have elaborated on the wonders of cultivation.
When it comes to the purity of spiritual power, they often use "water," "liquid," and "fluid" to represent, highlighting their nature.
Obtaining this sword intention can further stabilize the cultivation of the Qi Sea Dantian.
Previously, the Startling Awakening Sword Intention arose from raging flames, but it was an intention used for killing.
Only the Springtime and Rainwater Sword Intentions are most precious for nurturing the body.
Furthermore, among the various sword intentions in the "Springtime Sword," there are connections.
Before the Awakening of Insects, thunder roars first, and heavy rain and strong winds are like dragons!
In the River Source Market, when Chu Weiyang swung that sword, he had already witnessed such scenes while immersed in the sword intention.
It was the arrival of spring, painting everything green, with the wind and rain flowing smoothly.
At the same time, perhaps because Chu Weiyang's vigilance was too obvious earlier, Steward Ma no longer concealed his intentions at this moment.
His voice continued to reach Chu Weiyang's ears.
"Recorded in the Qianyuan Sect, countless cultivators throughout history have comprehended numerous sword intentions from the 'Springtime Sword'! But they achieved these sword intentions through orthodox visualization methods, entering a state of deep meditation to obtain the sword intention! In this process, one's understanding of sword techniques plays a decisive role."
"Hence, some obtained sword intentions through deep meditation are weak and illusory, while others have lofty and ethereal sword intentions!"
"As for those excelling in killing, nurturing the body, or seclusion, there are countless variations!"
"Thus, by following the principles of the Pihongmeng Taiyi, comprehending the three thousand great ways, it is all due to individual differences."
"But it is essential to understand why the founder divided the 'Springtime Sword' into six small chapters! Because among the thirty-six sword moves, only six sword intentions are the most righteous! These six sword intentions are not the most profound, whether in killing, nurturing the body, or seclusion, there are always shortcomings."
"However, these six sword intentions are closest to natural principles, closest to the changes of the four seasons, closest to the phenomena of the heavens and earth!"
"As far as I know, practicing the Four Seasons Sword, depending on the types of sword intentions comprehended, after reaching a higher realm, one can continue with the Jieyun and Chengqian classics. Only those who obtain the Six Righteous Sword Intentions have the possibility of accessing our sect's foundational scriptures!"
"The 'Ancestral Master Qianyuan True Lord's Primordial Opening Heaven Sword Scripture.'"
"It must be understood that regardless of cultivating the sword or the righteous path, among all the methods, the Primordial Opening Heaven method is the highest and most precious!"
"And the twenty-four righteous sword intentions in the Four Seasons Sword are the solid foundation pointing directly to our sect's foundational Opening Heaven scripture!"
"To be honest, you are not someone naturally talented in swordsmanship. Judging from your progress in the mountain cultivation, even my least promising junior disciple, when cultivating the Four Seasons Sword, would surpass you by a lot!"
"But due to your long-term hunger, long-term anger, you are a genius in demonic cultivation! You are a genius in the 'Five Viscera Nourishing Qi Essence Technique'!"
"From beginning to end, what you have shown is actually this unique talent!"
"But precisely because of this, within the Five Viscera Cauldron, that sword intention is refined purely and correctly!"
"Haha! I won't achieve much in this lifetime! I failed in my attempt to build the foundation back then, made no progress after guarding the Demon-Sealing Cave, and now I'm completely useless... But if I can cultivate a sword genius like you, in the future... the sect will have to give me an explanation!"
"Haha—haha—!"
In the end, Steward Ma laughed wildly.
He was well aware of what he was doing.
He was using such a cunning method to cultivate a ruthless enemy for the Qianyuan Sword Sect!
As long as Chu Weiyang survived, this person would undoubtedly become a nightmare for the sect in the years to come!
And he, directly or indirectly, had created all this!
With a mix of fearful panic and a certain indescribable satisfaction.
At this moment, Steward Ma leaned against the edge of the basket, his face contorted, suddenly feeling that the threat of death didn't seem so frightening anymore.
And as Steward Ma began to act erratically, Chu Weiyang automatically blocked out the man's sharp mocking laughter, focusing only on the parts where Steward Ma explained the key points of swordsmanship.
Those words flowed repeatedly through Chu Weiyang's mind.
At the same time, the thirty-six forms of the "Springtime Sword" from the six chapters were repeatedly practiced by Chu Weiyang in this manner.
Until a certain moment.
When the surging spiritual power pushed Chu Weiyang's cultivation to a higher realm.
The stove fire revolved, flowing through the five viscera and six bowels.
The dragon and tiger dissipated, leaving only two moderate and harmonious sword intentions in the alchemical cauldron, slowly absorbing traces of malevolent qi, then transforming into a great sun, slowly descending into the Dantian, hovering above the Qi Sea!
Springtime Sword Intention! Rainwater Sword Intention!
In the jungle, Chu Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes, half-lowered his head, and rubbed his fingertips.
"I see, I have a unique talent in demonic cultivation, in the 'Five Viscera Nourishing Qi Essence Technique'..."
Perhaps due to practicing swordsmanship for a long time, at this moment, the empty stomach urgently conveyed a feeling of hunger, each breath more intense than the last...
Many books are now hard to find, so cherish them while you can.
