Chapter 24: The Merging Period Twenty Years Later (2)
The first one is coming soon...
————————————————————————
The elixir in the lower abdomen is filled with pale golden true energy, and there are signs of liquefaction. This is a sign of the peak of the later stage of foundation building. At this stage, the practitioner can fully liquefy the true energy of the air under the cooperation of the heart method, and then enter the fusion period.
At this time, Yi Feng finally refined the thousand-year-old Geng Jin bamboo, which was emitting a dazzling light in his dantian. Sometimes it gathered true energy, and sometimes it released true energy, becoming the convergence and dispersion of energy within Yi Feng's body.
After a long time, as Yi Feng's internal energy continues to upgrade, the quality of the thousand-year-old Geng Jin bamboo that has been nourished will also gradually improve. If Yi Feng has enough patience to cultivate it, then he won't have to worry about finding a golden spiritual root again. Moreover, with the current grade of the Thousand Year Geng Jin Bamboo, it is already sufficient for Yi Feng to use until the Nascent Soul stage.
After a month, Yi Feng adjusted his state to the best, suppressing the excitement of the Impact Fusion period, and then began to operate the Gong Fa, slowly compressing the true energy in the Dan Tian, making it completely liquefied.
The timing of the breakthrough had already arrived, so Yifeng only used less than a year's time to successfully enter the fusion period.
The liquefied true energy is called True Yuan Force, which is a concentrated form of spiritual power with an even higher quality. The Golden Attribute's True Yuan Force is especially overbearing and when combined with sword techniques can unleash an attack power that surpasses any other attribute's True Yuan Force.
Generally speaking, in Xianxia novels, Golden Attribute cultivators have stronger attacking power!
Entering the fusion period, Yifeng couldn't wait to start cultivating the Xinghui Sword Manual of the Starlight Sword Manual. However, this cultivation could not be known to outsiders, otherwise such a powerful sword manual would inevitably attract envy from others and might even bring disaster upon himself.
At midnight, Yifeng would often sneak out of the courtyard alone and practice his sword skills on the deserted mountain behind. The Starlight Sword Manual was indeed too profound, and with Yifeng's current understanding of the way of the sword, even the Starlight Sword Manual was difficult for him to comprehend. For the past twelve years, he had been studying the Starlight Sword Manual, but unfortunately, he still couldn't grasp its essence.
Zhan Tian had intended to give guidance, but Yi Feng was unable to break through no matter what. The root of all this was that Yi Feng's understanding of the sword was not enough, so Zhan Tian suggested that Yi Feng first practice some simple sword techniques to cultivate his feelings with the sword.
Yi Feng indeed had a sword technique, which was the "Floating Zero Sword Technique" given to him by the old beggar before his death. This sword technique, although it is a secular martial skill, can become a cultivation technique with some modifications.
The Floating Zero Swordsmanship emphasizes the sword's movement like flowing clouds and water, like autumn wind blowing suddenly, like flying willows filling the sky. This type of swordsmanship is originally more suitable for women in the secular martial world to cultivate, because it does not have the characteristics of being strong and overbearing, nor does it require a lot of powerful support, but it also requires being extremely familiar with the way of the sword, otherwise it would be difficult to grasp the timing of drawing and sheathing the sword.
The trees on the mountain behind are quite tall, and when Yi Feng is practicing swordplay, his aura from the fusion period cannot be completely suppressed, and it often blows away some fallen leaves. Those fallen leaves are the direction of Yi Feng's sword edge.
Sometimes, there are winds, rains and snows on the mountain. In the Xiao Ling Swordsmanship, it is indeed mentioned that during cultivation, one should use these fleeting things as targets for sword release. This can both exercise the cultivator's grasp of the sword and cultivate their harmony with the sword.
Such practice has been going on for seven years.
Yi Feng arrived at Feilu Mountain in the 19th year, although he didn't deliberately accumulate his power, but also entered the middle stage of fusion. At the same time, with his own understanding and Zhantian's guidance, he thoroughly refined the Piaoling Swordsmanship.
I thought this set of swordsmanship would only allow me to gain some insight into the way of the sword, but in fact it surprised both Yifeng and Zhan Tian. When the Floating Zero Swordsmanship was cultivated to its peak, Yifeng's excitement arose, and the Zhan Tian Sword also danced lightly, actually mobilizing the spiritual energy within hundreds of meters around him to gather and come.
At that time, Yi Feng was completely immersed in the practice of swordsmanship, with his heart and soul merged into one, moving in perfect sync with the sword. His entire being was fully integrated into the sword technique, while the Heaven-Slaying Sword seemed to have abandoned its pride as a divine sword. Together, man and sword danced the most beautiful move, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converging above Yi Feng's head.
It's unknown how long it has been, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has accumulated more and more, the spiritual power within a radius of ten miles all swarmed in, until the moon was high in the sky, those heavenly spiritual powers suddenly flashed out a dazzling golden light.
Yi Feng did not notice the change in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but Zhan Tian did. However, he didn't remind Yi Feng either. A sword cultivator entering this state that Yi Feng is currently in is extremely rare, and Zhan Tian didn't want to disturb him, also wanting to see what would happen next.
