"Sword is a weapon for others but for me, Sword is more than just a weapon. I didn't choose a sword, it chose me. I love sword not because I am good at it, but because it wants me to improve myself all the time."
"Sword is power, the sword is speed, the sword is soft, the sword is hard, the sword can stab, the sword can cut, the sword can defend, and the sword can break. Sword does everything but you can't. Sword Path includes four attributes; Power, Speed, Soft and Hard."
"Power and Hard together can destroy anything, speed and soft together no one can catch it. Sword is a weapon to kill and protect. A guardian protects with a sword, a killer kills with a sword, so what I am? I neither protect nor kill, I'm not a saint nor or devil but a swordsman."
"For me, the sword isn't a weapon to kill but a weapon to transcendence the new realm. Sword cultivation has three major realms at least from what I learned. A Common Realm where a swordsman finds common self, A True Realm where a swordsman finds true self, and A Mortal Realm where a swordsman finds himself as a mortal."
"I do not understand mortal realm, and I've only transcendence to the half of True Realm. All I can tell you is all I know. A Common Realm is divided into four realms; Sword Energy, Sword Heart, Sword Soul, and Sword Intent. A True Realm is divided into five realms; Sword Lord, Sword King, Sword Saint, Sword Emperor, and Sword God."
"Sword God is the powerful realm and everyone in the entire universe respects that, but above once you become a god, can you still find your mortal self. It is hard, not many, only a few have reached that realm in the entire universe."
"Now, let's talk about a common realm. Sword Energy is the transformed energy from spiritual energy. If you have the true aura of a swordsman, you can refine sword energy from the sword alone. That is the starting path of a swordsman. Your sword should be bathed with sword energy every day, until when you formed a path in your body."
"That path will be formed by your sword, leading you to the new realm of the sword, to the Heart of Sword. Once you form Sword Heart, you are the true swordsman. Sword Energy realm represents Sword Disciple and Sword Heart realm represents Swordsman. Once you have sword heart, you need to learn to master your sword and control it."
"A sword shall strike with its master order; a sword shall not go against the master's order. When you realize all these, you can fuse your sword heart with your sword to form a Sword Soul. A sword needs to be controlled, a soul follows the path of his master and controls the sword, forming a Sword Soul, and you can reach Sword Master Realm."
Finally, you can give attributes to your sword and each sword needs a certain path. Form Intent, give an attribute to your sword and reach the Sword Intent Realm. This realm is also known as Sword Grandmaster. And, don't forget the true realms are Sword Energy, Sword Heart, Sword Soul, and Sword Intent. Sword Disciple, Swordsman, Sword Master, and Sword Grandmaster are the only the names to represent those realms."
"Every realm is divided into nine sub-realms. The first three realms can be called as Low Sword Energy Realm, the middle three realms can be called as Middle Sword Energy Realm, and final three realms can be called as High Sword Energy Realm."
"For a swordsman, without a correct sword cultivation technique, he can only rely on his own comprehension to realize the sword energy. For normal cultivators, perfection is the end of their cultivation but for a genius, there are higher realms that they want to achieve."
"Above Perfection is Fine and Detailed Realm. In this realm, you can bring out more than a hundred percent of a battle art. Here, you need to realize even tiny little mistakes in the execution of your battle art. Even the perfection is not perfect; you need to realize mistakes you are making during your execution of battle art."
"Of course, these mistakes aren't the realm mistakes that hinder while you execute your battle art but the mistakes that hinder the output of your battle art. These are the mistakes a creator leaves during his creation of any battle art because nothing is perfect so your perfection is only a false perfection."
"After Fine and Detained Realm, there is another realm which is known as Martial Intent Realm. Only Martial Arts can reach this realm and once you truly reach this realm, your energy will transform into materialized form. This form will have the power to bring out twice the power of perfection."
"If you are using Profound Rank Martial Art, you can bring the power of Spirit Rank. This realm condenses energy into a pure form of a Martial Art. It is better to practice Martial Art Intent of every Martial you've practiced." Johnny was suddenly struck by lightning in his mind.
He didn't even read further, this much information was already enough for him. He closed the book and put it in his spatial space. Then, he sat on his knees and started meditation. This was to digest all this information.
Fine and Detailed Realm, this was constantly ringing in his mind. If he wants to practice further, he must reach this stage. This realm was related to deep thinking than that of constant practice.
You need to find those mistakes and then practice to correct them. The first martial art he checked was Cloud Covering Palm. This art was related to lightness and heaviness. On one side, you make your hand light to cover the clouds, and then turn your hand heavy to press the world.
In other words, he needs to find mistakes between Lightness and Heaviness. Lightness means to turn anything with low weight while heaviness means to turn anything with higher weight. If you master the concept of Lightness and Heaviness, you can even fly without using battle arts or cultivation.
Johnny began to constantly deduce the Lightness and Heaviness Concept. He was looking for a way to find mistakes first, and then correct them.
After two hours,
Johnny stood up. He gathers spiritual energy into his palm and shot up. His palm released white shaped energy. This energy has been transformed into a palm, slowly floating upward like a butterfly. But when it reached a certain height, it began to fall.
But at this moment, its speed increased like a shadow, falling towards the ground. When it fell, it created an impact on the way which completely blocked the movement of anything below it. It worked like two same poles repelling each other, but the palm had higher force.
It wasn't pressing the ground, but the impact it released while falling was pressing the whole ground as if this palm could control the gravity.
"Boom"
The moment his palm fell on the ground, it made a palm shape on the ground. Johnny was surprised by this, he didn't expect he would reach Fine and Detailed Realm so soon. But on the other hand, he hasn't completed this yet.
So for the next three hours, he began to comprehend the Fine and Detailed Realm completely. Originally, even without his A.I., he was a genius and with the soul race talent, he got even more proficient in his comprehension.
After Cloud Covering Palm, he focused his time on Red Sun Spear Technique and Shadow Steps. He didn't go overboard, and it took him a long time to realize Fine and Detailed Realm than Cloud Covering Palm.
Of course, he still had quite a lot of time so he began comprehending all nine stances of Thunder Dragon and the second stage of Four Divine Beast Battle Art. Unlike the previous three battle arts, he couldn't comprehend Fine and Detailed Realm even in ten days.
So he gave up and started his sword comprehension. Like battle arts, his sword arts also have Fine and Detailed Realm. He got White Leaves Sword Technique and Twin Sword Style. He practiced White Leaves Sword Technique to the peak of perfection first. (Technique = Art)
It was easy and within two days, he completed this art. Finally, he began to comprehend the Fine and Detailed Realm of this sword art. White Leaves Sword Technique relies on the speed attribute, the faster the swordsman gets, the better the result will be.
'A sword like a leaf, but when a swordsman moves, his sword falls for an unknown time and each strike holds the sharpness of the sword with the softness of a leaf. A green leaf dyed in red converges into white with sword energy changing its destiny. White Leaves falls, a blood river forms.'
Unlike Battle Arts, he didn't sit down to comprehend those mistakes. Instead, he kept practicing his sword art to realize his mistakes. Of course, he could do the same thing with battle arts, but it is more practical for sword art than battle arts.
After three days,
Johnny holds the sword in his right hand and opened his eyes. He didn't move but his sword was trembling with sword energy.
"Whoosh" Suddenly, a white leaf incarnates from his sword, cutting the boulder in front of him like cutting tofu. When the sword reached the end, the white leaf disappeared and his sword didn't have a scratch on it. Then, he shook his hand and a black sword appeared in his hand.
Then, he began to comprehend Twin Sword Style.
