Chereads / Desolation Sword Emperor / Chapter 2 - Cultivating the Soul

Chapter 2 - Cultivating the Soul

"(khuk) Although Ive suffered greatly I'll just have to find a body and reside in their dantian and cultivate my soul slowly"

His soul had turned to his old appearance of his past body. It drifted and drifted until he found a half dead boy and went in his body.

"Id have to go in his body as it does not have mental defenses and by the looks of it he'll die sooner or later so I'll cultivate in his dantian."

"(Ugh Khak) I-I did not steal it! Senior Brother? BROTHER! Sister?! Aahhhhhhh!"

"Is this the memories of this boys body? I expected this memories as you dont always see a beaten boy... in a cliff. Unless that person is batshit insane/stupid then who would carelessly fall on this 8000 meters mountain. Hmph Ill have to cultivate in this boys dantian as his soul is still here."

"B-rother....Sis..ter...."

"What a naive fool. To be easily used like this...is humiliating. And even thinking of them even in your death..."

-Jia!-

-hehehe who would have thought that the weak fool would become the top swordsman- - easily used like this. if i were him id rather cripple myself-

(this is a flashback of Jia(Short for Jian Mo))

"(ugh)"

Jia gritten his teeth and had clenched his hands. He too had once been easily used leading him to the path of destruction.

After a few hours the soul of the boy had dispersed making Jian the only soul in the body thus making him regain his consciousness.

"This body.... It has not been trained in martial arts and still has not been cultivated. I'll have to use one of my cultivation techniques. The bottom of this cliff has many monsters Im afraid I'll die even if I get grazed. He sat down and gathered qi. But... it had backfired.

(khuak)

"This... the root of this body cant even cultivate! Ill have to resort to changing it. Although impossible for normal cultivators I had created a self made spirit root called eternium spirit root. It cultivates the eternal demonic qi. A special qi that can only be used by me, generally speaking those who own the root. But only I have the technique. The advantages of the eternium spirit root is that it can absorb all qi whether its heavenly, demonic, or any that still exists. I'll have to wait at night to absorb yin qi. (yang is heavenly. yin is demonic. eternal demonic qi is eternium) I can still absorb some qi but its precious. If i just absorb qi that is not yin then I can not change my root!"

Jian waited until the sun rised down. Then the night had appeared. He tried to climb up a higher place but it was risky for his injured body. He only climbed a tall rock and sat in a angel position. He had started to meditate and absorb the yin qi. Because the meridians are clogged(because body still had not cultivated) he forcefully absorbed the yin qi. Blood flowed through his mouth. He gritted the pain. His hardwork was paid generously. All of his meridian were unclogged and his roots were changed. Although the price he had to pay was enermous, the benifits outdo the consequences.

"Now that I have successfully have gotten my spirit root its time for me to cultivate diligently. Ill have to be more stronger so I have to cultivate my body first. Coming back to this boys home is dangerous. They'd ask questions on how a mere mortal can escape death. I'll get this boys revenge later on after I get strong. Now theres another matter at my hand. The sudden qi change in this area had alerted the beasts and have now came."

The beasts he had talked about was no ordinary beast. It was a spirit beast. Stronger than a normal beast it can cultivate to get stronger. Jian broke a twig on a tree branch and sighed.

"I do not have any sword. I think this will be a sufficient weapon for you guys?"

The beasts were angered as their pride was damaged.

"This human is underestimating us!"

"Yeah! Its very arrogant of this human to only use a stick as a-"

"You guys done talking? Ill take that silence as a yes"

Jian put the branch in a position on how you unsheat a sword. He smirked for a bit before turning into a serious expression as he said the words "Formless Sword:Shadow Sword" the first technique of the formless sword. It has three techniques. The first is where the user strikes fast in a singular motion leaving phantoms that attack in all directions. Next is the sword of doom,it releases eternium qi that is toxic similar to poison but more dreadful. It makes the enemy hallucinate and have their qi unstable. The user attacks in a oval while the enemy is in between. Next is the limitless sword,the strongest but it drains all your qi. It strikes as it had broken the sky with a crack.

(thwing)

After he had sliced there was only silence. Then a few seconds after that heads falling can be heard but that is not the end. It minced through the body of any life form the technique encounters.

"Phew at my prime I could use that technique limitlessly and slaughter many immortals and demons but now I get half drained in just one technique. This body i really weak,I wonder how it had survived."

"Though a pity that you guys are weak. I couldve had a servant beast to work for me. First thing to do after getting out of this forest is finding out where am I and when is it!Although to people this will be called walking aimlessly I am scanning the area a hundred meters with my qi while heading to where the qi is strong."

After walking for a while he had encountered people. They looked like mountain bandits.

"Heh perfect! People I can absorb their qi and dantian. I may become a demon in this life again but those hyproctical bastards had forced me. If I still have a trace that you are still alive then I shall end your life!"
