"Are you willing to inherit my cultivation techniques?"
"No."
"Do you know that my slaughter cultivation techniques can kill gods during the Divine Seal Era?"
"No."
"You…"
"No!"
…
…
At that moment, Liu Chuan and the others were full of joy as they thought that they had found the manual of sword techniques. Then, they realized that even though there were no doors in the palace, they still could not enter the palace.
This was because there was an invisible transparent barrier around the palace. Liu Chuan and the others truly felt what it meant to be so close yet so far away.
It was so painful that they felt suffocated, yet they could not get rid of this feeling!
"There must be a way to get in. Let's think of a way together," said Monkey indignantly.
A disdainful expression appeared on Wu Zhixin's face as she said, "What are you thinking about? Do you know any Daoist techniques? Do you know how to break the barrier? Look at yourself now."
At that moment, Monkey's face was swollen and he looked miserable.
That's right, that's right. After Monkey discovered that they could not enter the palace, he wanted to use his martial power to break through the barrier. However, the barrier actually had the ability to counterattack.
All the vitality that Monkey sent out was absorbed by the barrier, strengthening the barrier. Finally, all of the vitality struck Monkey's body.
Others might not believe it, but Monkey had beaten himself up.
"Maybe Monkey is the only one who can't get in, or maybe the rest of us can't get in. Why don't we let Lin Sisi try it out?" Liu Chuan suddenly thought of something.
Previously, out of the four of them, only Lin Sisi could pull out those spiritual swords. Now, they couldn't go in, but that didn't mean that Lin Sisi couldn't. After all, Lin Sisi hadn't tried it out yet. It might be the same as before. Perhaps Lin Sisi could go in.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that. That was indeed a possibility.
Perhaps this barrier could only be opened by those who had learned sword techniques.
"Okay, I'll do it."
Lin Sisi didn't hold back and simply walked forward.
She had wanted to give it a try before, but due to her personality, she had never fought for anything. Thus, she had always been behind.
The others took a few steps back and made way for her.
Lin Sisi stood at the very front and reached out to slowly touch the invisible barrier.
"No. I can't get in."
Lin Sisi reached out and touched the barrier. It was a little soft, and she didn't feel the barrier retaliate. However, she was also blocked.
Everyone looked disappointed. Even Lin Sisi could not enter!
Liu Chuan seemed to have sensed the crux of the matter and said, "That's not right. She managed to inch in. Lin Sisi, try circulating your vitality and transforming it into sword qi."
After all, Lin Sisi had only been cultivating for a short period of time, so the vitality in her body was very thin. After waiting for a full 10 seconds, Lin Sisi condensed all the vitality in her body to condense a tiny and weak wave of sword qi on her fingertip.
However, as soon as the sword qi was condensed, the invisible barrier began to ripple like spring water and broke with a single poke.
The barrier was broken!
As expected, the barrier of the palace was only to stop those who did not cultivate sword techniques.
Liu Chuan and the rest took the opportunity to enter the palace.
The palace was shrouded in mist, and countless sword techniques manuals floated in the air, half hidden in the mist. It was as if they had gained sentience and were going to lie down in the clouds to rest.
There were actually three levels in the entire palace, and every level had a total of 1,000 sword techniques that represented 1,000 sword intents. This meant that there were a total of 3,000 sword techniques and 3,000 sword intents across the three levels.
Liu Chuan casually picked up a manual beside him and saw the words "Taixuan Sword Technique" appear on it.
The long-awaited system notification finally sounded again.
[The Taixuan Sword Technique has been discovered. This technique can be learned.]
Liu Chuan was excited and chose to learn the technique. As expected, with the system in hand, everything in the world could be his.
After that, Liu Chuan would move to another place, then to another place after a while. Although it would only take one minute for the system to copy and learn each sword technique, it would take 50 hours to learn 3,000 sword skills without any rest.
The other three people had already sat down and started to comprehend the sword technique they had chosen. Only Liu Chuan was running around in the palace.
[The Nine Solitary Swords Technique has been discovered. This technique can be learned.]
[The Taiji Sword Technique has been discovered. This technique can be learned.]
[The Sorrowful Swordsmanship Technique has been discovered. This technique can be learned.]
[A sword technique has been discovered…]
…
Liu Chuan simply felt knowledge of countless sword techniques surging into his mind. Even with the ability of the system, he could not digest the techniques immediately.
However, it was a pity that the system only copied and pasted the sword techniques. Thus, Liu Chuan's comprehension of the sword techniques only stopped at the surface. Furthermore, the intent, not the form, of sword techniques was the most important.
The system could analyze cultivation techniques and sword techniques, but not sword intent.
Of course, as a layman of swordsmanship, Liu Chuan's gains were like pies falling from the sky.
However, it was obvious that Liu Chuan had underestimated the difficulty of learning these sword techniques. Even with the system, he still took two days without rest to finish learning all the sword techniques on the first level. More accurately, it would take two days to finish copying all of these techniques.
However, once he copied enough sword techniques, he would be able to grasp the nuances.
Although Liu Chuan had 'copied' 1,000 sword techniques, he had learned so many sword techniques that even a pig could understand them. Then, Liu Chuan used his fingers as a sword and casually stabbed the air with his finger.
A sword qi shot out from Liu Chuan's fingers, but it disappeared the moment it touched the floating clouds. It was as if it had fused with the clouds.
These clouds were most likely sword qi!
Suddenly, an indescribable feeling surged into Liu Chuan's heart.
Sword intent, as the name implied, referred to the concept of the sword. It also referred to the swordsman's understanding of the sword, its intent, and its determination.
Even though Liu Chuan didn't understand what sword intent was, under the tempering of over a thousand sword techniques, Liu Chuan started to understand it.
After copying sword techniques for such a long time, Liu Chuan was also a little mentally and physically exhausted. Thus, he prepared to take a break. Over the past few days, he had even fallen behind in his cultivation.
Then, Liu Chuan opened the system and checked his attributes.
Name: Liu Chuan.
Gender: Male.
Strength: 179.
Constitution: 185.
Speed: 179.
Vitality: 182.
Soul Power: 215.
Level: Level-9.
Body Tempering Progress: 60%.
Cultivation Technique: Returning to One.
Sword Skill: Three Thousand Sword Techniques (Incomplete)
Liu Chuan was quite satisfied with the increase in his attributes. No one had ever been able to cultivate their constitution, vitality, and other attributes to 250 points before breaking through to become a martial artist. Liu Chuan felt that he could give it a try.
Generally speaking, people with values above 200 were considered the top geniuses in the entire Federation.
These kinds of people did not need to participate in the martial arts exam. To such people, the martial arts exam was no longer important.
After all, the schools wouldn't choose them. They would be the ones choosing the schools.
…
His attribute window had an additional 'Sword Skill' column. Liu Chuan originally thought that there would be many sword skill names appearing. He was still thinking about how to hide these names.
Now, it seemed like he was overthinking. These 3,000 sword techniques collectively formed a type of sword technique.
Three Thousand Sword Techniques!
Liu Chuan didn't dare to imagine how powerful a sword technique that combined 3,000 sword techniques would be.
However, he knew that this sword technique was definitely extremely difficult to master. It was even possible that he might not be able to master it in his entire lifetime.
It wasn't difficult to learn a single sword technique, but comprehending a single sword intent wasn't a simple matter, let alone these 3,000 sword intents.
However, who would despise the sword techniques they learned for being too difficult and not learn it?
They would insist on learning the techniques. Even if they hit an obstacle, they would break through the obstacles and continue to advance!
