The great Mencius used to say, "I am skillful in nourishing my spirit of Haoran."
Thus, the key to the Sword Sutra of Haoran was the word "nourishing".
Lin Tatian had nourished the Blade Qi for over a decade; he was able to command the blade with his Qi and force Chen Fan to use the Grand Qin Na Hand. Lin Shuming had harnessed the Blade Qi much longer than Lin Tatian, and therefore, he was much more powerful.
In the last sixty years, his mind, body, and soul were occupied by only one thing—cultivation.
Lin Shuming had cultivated in seclusion for sixty years, during which time, he had devoted every single second on achieving the status of Earth Deity.
However, the task was much harder than he had imagined.
