Chapter 147: Golden Sword Talisman And Battle Method Intent
Martial Cultivators’ battle intents are mostly born from martial arts moves cultivated over many years.
Only a few are inherited variant battle intents.
By cultivating a martial art to the point of perfection, one can become compatible with some profound laws between heaven and earth, thereby greatly increasing its power. This is Heavenly Law Integration.
On this basis, continuing to cultivate and ponder will naturally give birth to intent.
This is the battle intent of Martial Cultivators!
……
Li Weiyi stood on the blood mud ground, mobilizing magic power to flow through his body veins, arms extended, palms dragging, strands of magic energy flowing between his fingers.
Li Ling walked to a spot five zhang away and stopped, without extra words, a large number of light spots and particles surging out from her brow.
On her wrist, the nine silver bracelets quickly spun and flew out after absorbing the light spots and particles, emitting silver radiance that illuminated the entire blood mud space, followed by the clattering sound of collisions.
After the nine silver bracelets flew out, they turned into eighty-one.
Covering the sky and earth as they descended.
Just this one move attack was not something an ordinary Five Seas Realm Third Realm Martial Cultivator could block.
Like that San Chen Palace Deformed Humanoid Race old man who died in her and Li Weiyi’s hands half a month ago, facing these nine silver bracelets, he could only flee and dodge, absolutely not daring to clash head-on.
Li Weiyi struck out with one palm.
A square golden divine seal several times larger than his body appeared, woven from magic energy, with a dragon coiled around the seal body, and ancient scripts engraved on the seal base.
The seal, ancient scripts, and coiling dragon were not something he intentionally condensed; he couldn’t condense them either.
Rather, by executing this palm technique, it became compatible with some profound mystery in the void.
Just like wandering on a mountain peak with an iron rod during a thunderstorm, attracting lightning. This lightning doesn’t belong to him, but by knowing a certain rule of nature and constantly finding ways to become compatible with this rule, he can attract lightning.
“Bang bang!”
The eighty-one silver bracelet light shadows landed on the Sky-Flipping Divine Seal, bursting open one after another like bubbles.
The nine real silver bracelets appeared, flung away by the power of the divine seal.
Li Weiyi withdrew all the magic energy back to his palm, the Sky-Flipping Divine Seal dissipated, and he frowned slightly: “Your power is too weak, not enough to help me stimulate my battle intent. Do you have any stronger attack methods?”
“Good, again.”·
Li Ling recalled the silver bracelets, her pretty face looking unhappy, her battle intent ignited.
She was a Heavenly Fire Realm Great Mind Master, yet when she went all out, she was deemed too weak by a Five Seas Realm First Realm Martial Cultivator. How could she tolerate that?
She took out the copper Nether Lantern and urged it with mind power.
“Whoosh!”
The Nether Lantern released brilliant dazzling blue flames, with rosy qi swirling around, enveloping her body.
In the next instant, Li Ling turned into a mass of blue fire cloud, carrying terrifying high temperature, instantly crossing five zhang distance and colliding with Li Weiyi.
“Boom!”
The blue fire cloud and magic energy clashed, energy ripples violently scattering in all directions.
Li Weiyi did not use the Heaven-Overturning Palm Seal.
He merely propped up a magic energy wall to block.
The magic energy wall was shattered by Li Ling’s impact, Li Weiyi exploded backward, using the blood mist and blood-colored scriptures released by the corpse clothes soft armor to resolve the residual force of the Nether Lantern.
“Stop! With your way of fighting, I don’t even dare to use the Heaven-Overturning Palm Seal; I’m afraid of accidentally killing you. Are the Great Mind Master’s attack methods just this simple and crude?”
Li Weiyi looked toward Zen Sea Observing Mist on the distant jade boat.
The meaning was very clear:
Why don’t you come instead?
Zen Sea Observing Mist had a calm expression, summoning Li Ling back to the jade boat and whispering a few words to her.
Then her fingers drew runes, imparting the Dao of Talismans to her.
“Teach her a few more ultimate techniques.”
Li Weiyi shouted this loudly, then practiced the palm technique on his own, pondering the mysteries of the Heaven-Overturning Palm Seal move.
The Chan Sect Twelve Loose Hands are said to originate from the twelve deities of the Chan Sect. Each deity summarized their lifelong cultivation achievements, taking the essence and discarding the dross, each leaving behind such a foundational martial art move.
When cultivating on the mountain, he didn’t think much about it, only treating it as exercise for strength and health.
Coming to this world, as his cultivation grew higher and the tier of magic energy in his body became purer, the Twelve Loose Hands gradually showed their might. Only then did Li Weiyi feel its profundity and depth; the more he pondered, the more he sensed endless variations, containing supreme mysteries.
Now practicing it again, he was naturally fully focused.
He carefully experienced every move and form, constantly adjusting.
Half a day later.
Li Ling finished cultivating and confidently sought out Li Weiyi again, raising her sharp pointed white chin: “For Mind Masters, insect taming, demon controlling, formations, and Dao of Talismans are the strongest attack methods. Are you ready?”
“Alright, let me see what new things you learned from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.”
Li Weiyi truly had some trepidation toward the Dao of Talismans; back in the Five Seas Realm Boundary, he had nearly fallen to that Sui Sect Great Mind Master’s runes.
Li Ling drew with her finger through the air.
“Whoosh!”
A bright fire wall appeared before Li Weiyi, disrupting his vision and perception.
She leaped up, spiritual light blooming from her brow, a rune flashing out from within like lightning.
Flying to above Li Weiyi’s head, the rune exploded, turning into a three-zhang-long golden giant sword that slashed down with a boom. The qi burst from the giant sword shook the surrounding blood mist in the blood mud space ceaselessly.
“This……this looks a lot like the Divine Sword Talisman?” Jar Master said.
Jar Master said: “How could it possibly be the Divine Sword Talisman? The Divine Sword Talisman must be carried by a magic tool war sword of special material, possessing the might to sword-slash Longevity Seekers. Back then, the Imperial Court envoys who left Lingxiao Palace carrying secret missions were said to each have one Divine Sword Talisman, all majestic and imposing.”
Spirit Tablet Master said: “It is the Divine Sword Talisman, but the rune has been simplified, so the power isn’t that exaggerated. Drawn by a Heavenly Fire Realm Great Mind Master, the rune’s power can compare to a full-force strike from a Five Seas Realm Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator.”
“Boom!”
The Sky-Flipping Divine Seal struck out by Li Weiyi clashed head-on with the golden giant sword.
The divine seal was split open, the tyrannical impact force on the sword edge shocking him back more than ten steps, a wound appearing on his palm with blood dripping.
“Such strong runes, that’s the feeling. Again!”
Li Weiyi sensed the battle intent appearing again but couldn’t grasp it, so his battle intent surged.
Li Ling landed back on the ground, feeling incredulous; she believed that sword just now couldn’t be easily blocked even by a Five Seas Realm Fourth Realm Martial Cultivator. Li Weiyi had only recently reached the Five Seas Realm, yet after blocking it, he only suffered some minor injuries.
“Wait a moment! The Golden Sword Talisman is very complex and consumes a great amount of mind power; with my current cultivation, drawing it is very slow.”
Li Ling formed seals with both hands, using mind power to control spiritual light particles, drawing runes in her forehead spirit realm.
“You doing it intermittently like this is really frustrating.”
Li Weiyi was speechless.
In a real battlefield clash, who would give you time to draw talismans?
He added: “Can’t you prepare a bunch in advance? I think if you could prepare a hundred of these Golden Sword Talismans ahead of time, even Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm Martial Cultivators would have to flee upon seeing you.”
Affected by him, Li Ling’s drawing failed, and she stomped her foot anxiously: “Don’t speak first!”
……
In the next half month, Li Weiyi was completely immersed in comprehending the battle intent, sparring, attacking and defending, and clashing dozens of times with Li Ling almost every day.
From the beginning, where the Heaven-Overturning Palm Seal would be instantly split by the Golden Sword Talisman, clearly at a disadvantage.
To the two being evenly matched, either clanging in clash or mutually annihilating.
To later, where the Heaven-Overturning Palm Seal could even gain the upper hand, shattering the golden giant sword.
Li Weiyi’s mind was clear and bright; he already felt the first battle intent being born, his footsteps shifting, arms and palms flipping, an invisible shadow appearing around his body, rotating around him.
When qi machines resonated, he could sense that between the battle intent and his own essence, qi, and spirit, it was as if countless silk threads connected the two.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the battle intent, so what form it took was unknown.
“Why must one reach the Five Seas Realm Third Realm for the battle intent to manifest visibly?” Li Weiyi asked.
Jar Master said: “Actually, the fundamental reason is that battle intent must borrow sufficiently pure magic energy, then fuse with your essence, qi, and spirit, to become visible to the naked eye.”
“In other words, as long as you cultivate Five Seas third-tier qi, even if not at Five Seas Realm Third Realm cultivation, you can manifest battle intent.”
“It’s just that no one can cultivate Five Seas third-tier qi before reaching Five Seas Realm Third Realm cultivation. Even those with Hundred Meridians Pure Silver Immortal Body can’t do it.”
Li Weiyi said: “Is it that difficult? Five Seas Realm third-tier qi is just twice the density of Five Seas second-tier qi; I won’t say twice now, but more than one times I have! As long as I open the second sea of qi, probably the instant of breaking through to Five Seas Realm Second Realm, it can metamorphose into Five Seas third-tier qi.”
Jar Master was silent for a moment, then shouted: “Mist Heavenly Child, could you do it back then?”
“As long as one possesses absolute realm, everything can be crushed through.”
On the jade boat, Zen Sea Observing Mist’s tall and slender graceful figure stood up, her aura even more tyrannical, phoenix eyes sharp: “A month has passed; things outside should have quieted down. When do we set off?”
“No rush, secluded cultivation here is pretty good; I feel I can cultivate all the way to Five Seas Realm Fifth Realm.” In this recent period, the gains were huge, strength growing every day; Li Weiyi was completely immersed in it.
Zen Sea Observing Mist asked: “Have you fully cultivated your first sea of qi?”
“Still a bit short.” Li Weiyi said.
Zen Sea Observing Mist said: “Fully cultivating the first sea of qi in a little over a month is quite fast! But the second sea of qi is several times larger than the first. In other words, cultivating in your current way will take several months to complete.”
“The third sea of qi will be even larger; you’ll at least spend another year.”
“And the fourth sea of qi is the main sea, ten times more vast than the first three seas of qi combined. Moreover……this is just the simplest qi accumulation, the time required.”
“Do you really think step-by-step secluded cultivation is the fastest way to cultivate?”
Li Weiyi couldn’t regard her as a guardian wife or fiancée, and said: “Senior means we should go to the prefectural city and cultivate using the Heaven Earth Spring?”
“Secluded cultivation in the Dao Domain of the Heaven Earth Spring does multiply cultivation speed, even several times, but it’s still not fast enough.”
Zen Sea Observing Mist’s desire for rapidly increasing cultivation surpassed even Li Weiyi’s. She continued: “I can refine a pill that quickly boosts sea of qi magic energy, called the Qi Ascending Pill. Taking one can increase qi by one portion.”
