Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Chapter 13: Sword Technique Small Success Stage

Inside the cabin, Chen Daoxuan opened his eyes and fiddled with the jade slip in his hand, deep in thought.

This jade slip was something he had requested from his thirteenth uncle ten days ago. It was said that his clan had used their military merits to exchange for a sword technique inheritance from the Qianyuan Sword sect. It was called the "wind chasing sword technique".

The level of this sword technique was not high. It was only comparable to a first-grade spell.

However, it was one of the most basic sword techniques of the Qianyuan Sword sect. It was said to be a sword technique that all disciples entering the sect had to learn.

Ignoring the ten Stardust in his sea of consciousness, Chen Daoxuan immediately took out a red flying sword from his storage bag. It was the Red Shadow flying sword that he had refined the most of.

As he infused it with true Qi, the tip of the Red Shadow flying sword suddenly burst forth with sword light that was three feet long.

Under the pressure of the sword light, the surrounding air was visibly distorted.

This power of this sword light had almost reached the limit of what a low-grade first-grade flying sword could display.

Looking at the flying sword that he had personally forged, Chen Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Three feet of sword light, not bad!"

Although the grade of a spiritual weapon was determined by the number of superimposed arrays, after the fusing arrays stage, the array patterns of the spiritual weapon were restrained; outsiders could not tell how many arrays had been superimposed on this spiritual weapon.

One could not judge its grade accurately from the spiritual essence of the spiritual artifact either. Sometimes, even if the spiritual artifact differed by only one small grade from another, it was easy to tell the difference.

The most accurate method of judging the grade of a spiritual artifact was through its power.

After all, spiritual artifacts were used for fighting, and combat power was the only proper criterion for judging the grade of a spiritual artifact.

Compared to refiners, who used array patterns to determine the grade of a spiritual artifact, ordinary cultivators still preferred to use the power of a spiritual artifact to determine the grade of the spiritual artifact.

For example, for flying sword-type spiritual weapons, three feet of sword light was the limit of the power of a low-grade first-grade flying sword. If it exceeded this limit, the flying sword could barely be considered a middle-grade first-grade spiritual weapon.

As for Chen Daoxuan's Flying Snow sword, when he poured his true Qi into it, the sword light even faintly exceeded nine feet. If it was converted to a unit of length of his previous life, it was equivalent to a three-meter-long sword light.

Once a flying sword with this kind of power was unleashed, it would truly be extremely terrifying.

Putting away the jade slip, Chen Daoxuan planned to use the wind chasing sword technique to control the Red Shadow flying sword.

Under his control, the Red Shadow flying sword flew up and down. Not long after, the cabin was filled with dense sword qi and sharp sword light.

After half the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Red Shadow flying sword flew back into Chen Daoxuan's hand like a swallow returning to its nest.

Feeling the scorching aura emitted by the Red Shadow flying sword, Chen Daoxuan revealed a smile on his face. "Not bad. I didn't expect to only use ten days to learn the wind chasing sword technique."

The wind chasing sword technique was the first offensive spell that he had ever cultivated. Chen Daoxuan was very satisfied after achieving such a good result.

After all, he had relied on himself to master the wind chasing sword technique in ten days rather than on the golden scripture.

Such a result would be considered genius-level even among the Qi refinement realm disciples of the Qianyuan Sword sect.

After practicing it for a while, Chen Daoxuan found that when he used the wind chasing sword technique, the speed of the Red Shadow flying sword was three times faster, and its overall power increased by 10% .

One should not underestimate an increase of 10% power. After all, this was only the effect of the newly-learned sword technique.

According to the records of this sword technique, if the sword technique was cultivated to the small success stage, the power of the flying sword would magically increase by 30% and, when it was cultivated to the large success stage, it would increase by 60% .

As for the perfect stage...

The jade slip was vague. Perhaps even the person who created it felt that no one could cultivate this sword technique to the perfect stage during the Qi refinement realm.

With this thought in mind, Chen Daoxuan took a deep breath.

After ten days of hard work, he had already cultivated the wind chasing sword technique to the beginner stage. If he had an epiphany, what kind of exaggerated effects would there be?

Chen Daoxuan started to look forward to it; in fact, he tried it out right away.

Chen Daoxuan immediately released his control over the ten Stardust in his sea of consciousness, allowing them to collide.

As the ten Stardust fused into one, Chen Daoxuan felt that familiar feeling of his consciousness rising again.

Soon... The scene of the universes' big bang was reflected in his eyes again.

Countless light blobs burst forth from the depths of his sea of consciousness along with the big bang, scattering in front of Chen Daoxuan.

Controlled by his thoughts, a dim blob of light floated in front of him.

When he focused on the blob of light, what was recorded inside was the wind chasing sword technique that he had been studying over the past ten days.

"As expected..."

In reality, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Daoxuan's face while his eyes were closed.

As he focused on the blob of light, countless insights about the wind chasing sword technique surged into Chen Daoxuan's mind, giving him a feeling of enlightenment.

"So this is what I should do during the process of controlling the flying sword... wind chasing sword... so that's what it means..."

"So that's what it means..."

"..."

As his insights continued to accumulate, Chen Daoxuan's attainments in the wind chasing sword technique also visibly increased.

Soon, the time it took for an incense stick to burn passed.

As the insights receded like a tide, Chen Daoxuan withdrew from his state of epiphany.

Opening his eyes, a feeling of extreme disappointment flooded his heart.

He had a premonition that, if this state of epiphany had continued on, he would have definitely been able to cultivate the wind chasing sword technique to the perfect state, which almost no Qi refinement realm cultivator could achieve.

"What a pity..."

Soon after though, Chen Daoxuan adjusted his mental state.

Anyway, he would experience this state of epiphany once every ten days. He would just have to wait another ten days.

Thinking of this, his depressed mood became better again.

"Now... let me see the results of this epiphany!"

Chen Daoxuan could not wait to take out the Red Shadow flying sword from his storage bag again.

As the Red Shadow flying sword's sword light was activated, the flying sword flew through the air like a rainbow.

"The sound of the flying sword cutting through the air has been reduced!"

Chen Daoxuan quickly discovered the differences in the flying sword he was controlling this time.

Before his epiphany, when he was controlling the flying sword, there would be an obvious swishing sound. Chen Daoxuan knew clearly that it was the sound of the air being torn apart.

However, this time, the swishing sound of the flying sword was gone!

The Red Shadow flying sword flew around the cabin like an agile fish. However, its flying speed was countless times faster than the fish in the sea.

This realm was clearly the small success stage of the wind chasing sword technique recorded in the jade slip. Moreover, it had not merely reached the small success stage; it had advanced quite a distance past the small success stage.

Chen Daoxuan estimated that his current attainments in the wind chasing sword technique were probably not far from the large success stage.

It was too terrifying!

Was this the effect of the ten-fold accumulation of his comprehension ability?

When he created the spirit fusion array, he did not have a deep understanding of this state of epiphany.

After all, it was the first time the spirit fusion array had appeared, and he was not aware of how difficult it was to create this array.

However, now he knew…

Even for someone like him, who thought that his talent in swordsmanship was not too bad, if he wanted to reach his current level in the wind chasing sword technique, he would need two to three years to do so.

Yet now, in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had saved two to three years of hard work in cultivating the sword technique.

"As expected of the Hong Meng Enlightenment Sutra."

For the first time, Chen Daoxuan was fully convinced by the name of this scripture.

...

"Rumble!"

Just as he was sighing in appreciation, a suffocating sense of oppression arose in Chen Daoxuan's heart.

"What's going on?"

Chen Daoxuan immediately rushed out of the cabin with his flying sword. When he looked up, a dark cloud was gradually covering the Canglong...
