The reason Ye Wushuang asked Mu Zi Li to wait was to see if, after Ji Ou chose the Seven Deadly Blade Techniques, the two of them could still make a selection. If the three of them could choose the same spiritual technique, they could cultivate together, exchange insights, and naturally integrate their understanding. Their chances of getting through this challenge would be significantly higher.
Ye Wushuang was, of course, confident in himself, but he was worried about the potential dangers that Mu Zi Li and Ji Ou might face.
Seemingly understanding Ye Wushuang’s thoughts, Mu Zi Li couldn’t help but smile and say, “Brother Ye, have a little faith in us. We might just get through this challenge.”
Ji Ou also caught on and immediately said, “Don’t worry. Since I embarked on the path of martial cultivation, I’ve always focused on blade techniques. This challenge won’t be a problem for me.”
“Hmm…”
Then, Mu Zi Li chose a boxing technique. His master, Mu Ye Yun from the Four Mountains, was proficient in boxing techniques.
“Divine Soul Boxing Technique!”
Mu Zi Li took a breath and said, “We have three days, everyone, let’s do our best.”
Ye Wushuang looked at the stone table in front of him and ultimately chose a sword technique.
“Seven Stars Inviting the Moon Sword Technique!”
As Ye Wushuang selected this sword technique, a burst of light fused into his mind. The incantations and methods of this sword technique were all branded into his memory.
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but be astonished.
This method of transmitting spiritual techniques was incredibly ingenious. Generally speaking, only cultivators who had reached the Dongxu realm could achieve this. It was well-known that, apart from the initial Yellow-grade and Mystical-grade spiritual techniques, which could be cultivated by simply mastering the incantations and heart methods, one needed the true copy of the technique for Earth-grade and Heavenly-grade spiritual techniques.
The true copy contained the intent of the martial cultivator who had created the technique. Only by comprehending that intent could one grasp the core of the spiritual technique.
Of course, Ye Wushuang, being the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor and having merged with his past life’s spirit, had a deep connection with the martial techniques stored in his memory. He didn’t need to observe the true copies of the techniques he had mastered to begin cultivation.
However, the spiritual techniques within this stone table were extraordinary. Each one transformed into a source of martial technique light, directly fusing into the minds of the cultivators. This alone was quite astonishing.
Test?
Opportunity?
It was likely that things were not as simple as they seemed.
After the nine individuals each chose their spiritual techniques, they found a place to sit and began to earnestly experience and meditate, aided by the enhancement of the surrounding spiritual energy.
Day one.
The nine individuals began to cultivate and ponder the spiritual techniques they had chosen.
Day two.
Several of them started to feel something was amiss.
With the assistance of the surrounding spiritual energy, everyone felt their talents had improved, and their comprehension was several times greater than usual.
However, these Royal-grade spiritual techniques were incredibly difficult to cultivate!
Li Qingyao, Li Baifeng, and Li Yanran gathered together, discussing the strengths of their respective spiritual techniques, hoping to inspire each other and improve their proficiency in controlling the techniques.
Yu Hao cultivated alone.
Shang Tianqing also cultivated by himself.
Tian Yuanbing was likewise on his own.
Mu Zi Li and Ji Ou, along with Ye Wushuang, stayed in a corner in front of the stone wall.
“There’s something off,” Ji Ou scratched his bald head and said helplessly, “Ever since I started on the path of martial cultivation, I’ve always focused on blade techniques. I can quickly grasp the essence of any blade technique, but this Seven Deadly Blade Techniques… I seem to understand it, yet I’m also very confused. When I try to execute even a single move, it just doesn’t feel smooth.”
Mu Zi Li also said, “My master is proficient in boxing techniques. I mainly cultivate boxing techniques, but this Divine Soul Boxing Technique… I feel like I’m missing something, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang already understood.
He had spent the entire day yesterday cultivating the Seven Stars Inviting the Moon Sword Technique.
This sword technique had seven forms, each corresponding to the trajectory of a star’s movement, incredibly profound.
It had to be said that the power of this sword technique was on par with the冥雷元剑术 (Ming Lei Yuan Sword Technique).
The spiritual techniques that Tianlinzi had provided were indeed domineering, but they were also very difficult to cultivate. What’s more… this sword technique had a hidden intent!
Without a doubt, the Seven Deadly Blade Techniques and the Divine Soul Boxing Technique also had corresponding hidden intents.
What is a hidden intent?
Take the Seven Stars Inviting the Moon Sword Technique as an example. If one could master all seven forms and execute them in a single, continuous sequence, that would be the eighth form, which was also the strongest.
However, if one did not have a high level of comprehension and control over the sword technique, it would be impossible to execute the eighth form.
The Seven Deadly Blade Techniques and the Divine Soul Boxing Technique were likely the same!
Ye Wushuang immediately looked at the two and said earnestly, “Tell me the incantations of the Seven Deadly Blade Techniques and the Divine Soul Boxing Technique.”
Hearing this, the two didn’t hesitate and began to recount them.
After all, Li Qingyao and the others were also discussing with each other, seeking inspiration.
Even Yu Hao, Shang Tianqing, and Tian Yuanbing had gathered together to discuss at this point.
It was well-known that failing the test would result in death!
No one wanted to gamble with their lives!
After Ji Ou finished recounting the incantations of the Seven Deadly Blade Techniques, he couldn’t help but say, “The Seven Deadly Blade Techniques emphasize the word ‘deadly’ in every move. It’s about absolute爆发力 (explosive power), absolute速度 (speed), and absolute凝聚万法之力 (cohesion of the power of myriad laws)!”
After listening to the incantations, Ye Wushuang remained silent, closed his eyes slightly, and his soul condensed into a shadow within his mind. He began to try to practice the seven moves of the blade technique as Ji Ou had described…
Two full hours passed.
Ye Wushuang’s eyes suddenly opened, with a gleam of insight flashing through them.
