Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 242 Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture
Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture
"So, Seven Luminaries was just an ordinary swordsman. If he could have held onto his original intentions back then, he probably would have comprehended Sword Intent long ago," Chen Jia quipped.
The iron door was blasted open, and Zhong Lin also stepped inside. The first thing that caught his eye was a massive pill furnace, which was now covered in rust.
Zhong Lin slightly opened his eyes and curiously asked, "Was the Seven Luminaries Sword Monarch also an alchemist?"
"Alchemist, my ass! He was just a hack. After so many years, he couldn’t even produce a Second Grade elixir. That sea serpent at the entrance was brought by him, meant for alchemy, but he ended up keeping it as a pet," Chen Jia scoffed with disdain.
Zhong Lin shrugged, saying nothing more, merely feeling a bit regretful about the furnace before him.
He had no idea where the Seven Luminaries Sword Monarch had acquired it back then. The whole furnace was made of an unknown metal, looking robust and formidable; though rusty now, one could vaguely see its former glory. Unfortunately, the power of time is always so strong. A thousand years had passed, and in this sea-swamped place, it had been corroded into scrap metal, no longer usable.
"To the left up ahead is Seven Luminaries’ training room."
Zhong Lin nodded his head, bypassed the dilapidated pill furnace, and made his way toward the direction Chen Jia pointed.
The interior of the Seven Luminaries Palace was lavishly decorated, with treasures like pearls, gemstones, agate, and coral piled up. In the mortal world, they could cause a stir, but to Zhong Lin, they were practically useless, less valuable than a few spirit stones.
He pushed open the decayed door, revealing a spacious and vacant meditation chamber. In the center lay a heap of already decomposed bones.
Chen Jia’s soul body flew over, gave it a glance, and confirmed, "It’s him."
Zhong Lin scanned the room, finally focusing on the copper ring around the wrist of the Seven Luminaries Sword Monarch’s skeletal remains, and his eyes lit up.
He didn’t directly take it; instead, he respectfully bowed first, then carefully removed the copper ring.
A strand of spiritual origin energy probed in, and as expected, this copper ring was a storage bracelet, with a space much larger than Zhong Lin’s, and it was filled with various treasures.
Spirit stones, elixirs, demon cores, cultivation techniques, martial arts skills...
Among them, the spirit stones were the majority, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
"I’ve struck it rich."
Even with Zhong Lin’s current mindset, he couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment; it was truly the wealth left by a Yunling Realm master. Even a loose cultivator’s casual assets were far beyond his own; even pulling a leg hair off them would be thicker than his thigh.
He poured everything out and meticulously categorized them.
Over 200,000 spirit stones, countless types of elixirs, and quite a few Fifth Grade elixirs, though regrettably, there were none used for the cultivation of Yunling Realm martial artists. Presumably, the Seven Luminaries Sword Monarch used them all up in his lifetime.
There were also quite a few spiritual medicines, but most were low in grade.
The most precious item inside would have to be a black spiritual sword.
Completely black, it seemed to absorb even light; the blade emitted a faint cold gleam. Even with Zhong Lin’s Dragon Elephant Golden Body defense, it caused a slight prickle when approached.
"What a good sword."
Zhong Lin examined it, unable to suppress a compliment.
"These spiritual medicines were likely used by Seven Luminaries for alchemy, though they’re low-grade. As for that sword, it’s called the Black Dragon Sword, the lifebound weapon of Seven Luminaries, much stronger than the one in your hand. Have you found the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture?"
"Found it."
Zhong Lin extracted a small jade scroll from the pile of treasures, no larger than a palm, packed with densely written small characters numbering in the tens of thousands.
He meticulously stored everything back into the storage bracelet, then sat down on the ground to carefully study the jade scroll.
Though there were many words on the scroll, each one was a gem, full of mystery.
The "Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture" is the cherished sect art of a school called the Seven Luminaries Sword Sect, an Earth Level top-grade martial arts skill.
It involves absorbing the Seven Luminaries Star Spirit Energy, refining Seven Luminaries Sword Qi, constructing a Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp, and executing the Seven Luminaries Sword Array.
It’s an authentic profound technique, grand and majestic.
Zhong Lin sat quietly, immersing himself in comprehension of this profound sword scripture.
After a long time.
"Good, good, what an excellent Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture."
"Indeed, a top-grade Earth Level martial art skill."
Zhong Lin opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise and delight. Though it was merely a basic understanding, with his foundation in comprehending two layers of sword intent, he could already grasp a few insights.
He had an initial understanding of the cultivation methods, related content, and key points within it.
This sword skill is not just about slaying; it combines attack, defense, pursuit, and escape into the supreme sword skill.
If practiced to a certain extent, refining the "Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp" will also provide the ability to remove elixir poisons.
Martial artists in their cultivation journey require more elixirs to assist as they reach higher grades of realms.
But elixirs, more or less, carry elixir poisons.
Not that they’re harmful to the body.
Take specialized pills like Golden Rainbow Pill and Fire Spirit Pill; overconsumption can lead to resistance, drastically reducing the effect of taken elixirs.
Even the basic True Essence Pill used for cultivation can’t be taken continuously; the body needs time to clear toxins before taking another.
This is why Zhong Lin does not overdose on elixirs; moderation is due to elixir poisons. Otherwise, with his resources as a Fifth Grade Alchemist, his cultivation speed wouldn’t be so slow.
But now, with the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, he can confidently use elixirs to improve his cultivation without fear.
Completely unafraid of elixir poisons!
However, removing elixir poisons isn’t that simple.
It requires time and effort to refine the poisons.
Moreover, when refining these poisons, the body must endure the searing pain of sword qi.
"Nonetheless, this pain is trivial compared to the unhindered use of elixirs without side effects!"
Zhong Lin’s eyes sparkled.
Chen Jia jealously remarked on the side, "No wonder that scoundrel Seven Luminaries went to learn alchemy, so that’s how it is!"
What delighted Zhong Lin even more was that this "Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture" can also be divided into individual sword techniques.
Split into "Taiyang Shining Sword Technique", "Taiyin Moonlight Sword Technique", "Tai Bai Jinyao Sword Technique", "Age Star Wood Light Sword Technique", "Chenxing Shuiyao Sword Technique", "Yinghuo Fire Light Sword Technique", "Zhenxing Earth Light Sword Technique". frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The reason is simple; Earth Level cultivation techniques are too difficult.
They’re not just hard to cultivate, but also hard to comprehend.
Anyone not exceptionally gifted cannot fully master this Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture.
So the Seven Luminaries Sword Sect lowered the difficulty so that the majority of disciples could cultivate it, splitting it into multiple techniques.
Allowing disciples to choose based on the attributes of the techniques, then gradually master it from point to surface.
Once fully mastered, the Seven Luminaries Sword Array can be performed, with boundless power.
Even split into seven parts, each still remains an Earth Level low-grade, and together they constitute the Earth Level top-grade.
