Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 594: Chapter 276: Worthy of the Sect Leader_3

Because this blade was not formed by aggregating the Sword Rules into the shape of a blade, but the blade was truly condensed by the Blade Rule.

The crowd was still puzzled. Could it be that the Sword Ancestor, who focused solely on the Sword Dao and secluded himself for ten thousand years, also learned the Blade Rule?

Only Ning Qi’s eyes seemed to brighten slightly.

Soon after, they saw the sword in Jian Jingjue’s hand transform into various weapons, all of which were primarily weapons of slaughter - spears, sabers, halberds, arrows... there was even a saw!

This time, everyone was shocked. If it was said that Jian Jingjue previously mastered the Blade Rule, how could he suddenly master so many Rules?

”Sword Ancestor, how did you accomplish this?” True Man Ziyang inquired.

Jian Jingjue stroked his beard with his other hand and revealed the secret.

”This is what I have gained over the millennia, all within ’One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques’.”

”One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques?”

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

”One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques” is the ultimate dream of a Sword Cultivator, but who can achieve it?

So, after stepping into the Void Path Realm, they each based themselves on the power of the rules that they felt affinity with, continuously honing themselves.

Once one path is achieved, they cultivate another.

They knew that the Sword Ancestor before them was extraordinarily talented, indeed cultivating only the Sword Dao, the one closest to the sect’s name in the Infinite Sword Sect.

Ning Qi, on the other hand, fell into silence.

In his mind, the Rule Divine Chain in the Sword Ancestor’s hand constantly flashed, and an endless Spiritual Light seemed to erupt from his eyes, as he seriously deduced something.

Only to hear Jian Jingjue say:

”One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques, this is no empty talk.”

”I sat in the Way for ten thousand years, and every day in my mind, the enemies I encountered throughout my life would flash by, to be cut by the Will Sword.”

”All the enemies I eliminated, I did not cut their bodies, I cut their spirit, and even their rules were cut along with it!”

”Until one day, I suddenly realized, since the Sword Dao can break ten thousand techniques, the Sword Rules I command can naturally break ten thousand kinds of rules.”

The crowd listened, entranced and aspiration-filled.

However, the Sword Ancestor had not yet mentioned the key point, but was organizing his thoughts for the crowd.

Above the hall’s courtyard, in the void, suddenly countless swords were born, like fish swimming about.

The entire space seemed to be left with only the Sword Rules, with the Sword alone reigning supreme.

The Great Powers present wished to communicate with the rules they mastered but could no longer do so, and were greatly astonished.

Even the same Sword Rule, they could not communicate with it!

It was as if in this world, all rules were held by the Sword Ancestor, and all other rules were cut under his Sword Dao.

Jian Jingjue continued:

”After the Sword Dao reigned supreme, I delved deeper, and thus realized that the Sword Dao could cut ten thousand paths, and also command ten thousand paths, like a monarch commanding ten thousand ministers!”

”So, the scene you just witnessed was my gain.”

Hearing these words, the Great Powers felt a profound shock in their hearts.

It was as if Jian Jingjue had cut through the confusion within them with one sword, pouring enlightenment upon them, instantly opening up their entire mindset.

They couldn’t help but exclaim in their hearts, ”Truly worthy of being the Sword Ancestor!”

Jian Jingjue smiled, ”Unfortunately, even though I have come to this realization, I can only command a few paths at most.”

The other Great Powers were all convinced by his teachings; Jian Jingjue couldn’t help but look at Ning Qi before him.

Ning Qi, as if lost, sat cross-legged, his mind completely immersed in enlightenment.

Jian Jingjue could see that Ning Qi seemed to be comprehending something, but since he was right in front of him, why didn’t Ning Qi directly inquire instead of comprehending on his own?

Wouldn’t asking him save time and effort, or was it that a sudden realization in one night could surpass his ten thousand years of hard cultivation?

Jian Jingjue secretly frowned but didn’t show it.

”Ning Qi, why don’t you accompany me for a demonstration, how about it?”

He sent out a voice of the Great Dao, directly into Ning Qi’s mind.

Ning Qi instantly awoke from his comprehension, then stood up.

”Please instruct me, Sword Ancestor.”

”Alright.”

The two walked out of Mingxin Hall, onto the plaza, standing opposite each other.

The surrounding Great Powers followed them out, all marveling at Ning Qi’s good fortune to be personally instructed by the Sword Ancestor.

Jiang Baichuan stood among them, in a state of melancholy.

Now that he had been removed from the position of Sect Leader, he was dispirited, filled with inner turmoil.

Seeing the Sword Ancestor instruct Ning Qi, he could only hope Ning Qi would face some hardship.

And True Man Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai exchanged glances, as if seeing the same thought in each other’s eyes.

Ning Qi’s strength had long since surpassed theirs, the Sword Ancestor’s realm was unknown, but he likely hadn’t broken through to the Integration Realm; who was truly stronger between them?

But based on the spirit of ’One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques’ previously demonstrated by the Sword Ancestor, his strength was undoubtedly the foremost in the Infinite Sword Sect.

”I will only use thirty percent of my strength, be cautious.”

As Jian Jingjue entered the state, Sword Intent pervaded the void around him.

He took a step forward, then with his palm struck towards Ning Qi.

The two stood ten zhang apart, and with his strike, the void instantly seemed to be sliced open, giving rise to the sound of swords.

A Rule Divine Chain of the Sword instantly pierced towards Ning Qi, without an edge, yet nothing was sharper than it.

Ning Qi also summoned a Rule Divine Chain of the Sword.

Buzz!

The two Rule Divine Chains of the Sword clashed in midair, point to point.

Clearly, both were rules in the realm of illusion and reality, yet the onlookers could see sparks flying, those were the glowing rule fragments shattering.

The Sword Rules issued by both of them simultaneously shattered, but Ning Qi remained unfazed.

Jian Jingjue was slightly taken aback, then said:

”Good lad, no wonder they say you were able to wipe out the five Great Powers of the Beixuan Upper Sect, you do indeed have some strength.”

His initial thirty percent was merely probing Ning Qi, not truly employing the majesty of his ’One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques.’

”Next, I will use fifty percent of my strength, be careful.”

Ning Qi nodded.

This time, the momentum surrounding Jian Jingjue grew stronger, beginning to influence the space where the two stood.

The gathered Great Powers couldn’t help but be stunned.
