Chapter 7 (1/2)
Chapter 7 – Further Breakthrough!
Translated by Sunyancai
Although there were three major moves of the Ancient Chaos Sword Art, all three of them contained numerous subtle moves. And it is those numerous subtle moves, that strengthened the main moves.
Now, Shao Xuan was proficient with those subtle moves, but proficient did not mean that he had mastered them all. The moves Shao Xuan executed currently were more of a physical thing, without the essence inside. Only when the essence was combined in the moves, could you bring out the real power of the moves.
The Ancient Chaos Sword Art was one of the Sacred cultivation arts. Due to its category, it was not easy for people to comprehend the mysterious essence of it easily, or else it would not be called a Sacred cultivation art.
Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Vital Spirit inside his stomach. His body began to emit a slight delicate aura. It was the aura of mid Ronghe stage. Vital Spirit poured out quickly, and then was infused into the legendary sword under Xiao Chen’s control.
With the infusion of Xiao Chen’s Vital Spirit, the legendary sword began to a cold s.h.i.+ne and his aura grew much stronger accordingly. Feeling the warm Vital Spirit running through all his meridians, the childish face of Xiao Chen’s had a joyful look.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoos.h.!.+”
When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, he started to vigorously perform the Ancient Chaos Sword Art. He had memorized every move at heart, and his performance was quite skilled and proficient. However, this was the first time that he practiced it with using the Vital Spirit, so he was a little bit slow in the execution.
The legendary sword with Vital Spirit infused also emitted a hint of sword yi, the various sword movements were sharp and vivid. [Note: Sword yi is what you would call sword intent in other novels. I found intent to be confusing, so I will use the same concept as sword qi, and transliterate it to sword yi. Sword yi is a force of the sword that you gain by comprehending the sword]
Gusts of wind moved down the forest, and blew down numerous leaves. However, with Xiao Chen practicing the sword art, oddly there was no leaf on the ground where Shao Xuan was standing at. It was very clean.
Gradually, an hour pa.s.sed, and it seemed that Xiao Chen was completely immersed in the sword yi. The more he swung the legendary sword, the more vigorous he became. He felt that it was impossible for him to stop, as if he had none-consumable physical strength inside him. The earlier hesitation all gone in the wind, he slowly began controlling the legendary sword infused with Vital Spirit freely.
As time went by, Xiao Chen began to move even faster and he became more skilled than before. Sometimes he would leap up high and sweep the surroundings, while sometimes he would slash down with the sword in the air with a stunning momentum.
“Let’s see how sharp the legendary sword can be!” Xiao Chen cheerfully shouted out with a laugh as he practiced, and then swept the sword towards a tree with a trunk the width of a bucket.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The sword swept, however there was no change to the tree. But, Xiao Chen was one hundred positive that the sword had chopped down at the tree.
Staring at the tree for a bit, Xiao Chen asked himself curiously, “What happened? Why is there no reaction?”
Xiao Chen went closer to check on it, and found that obviously there was a slight thin mark in the middle of the trunk. It was hard to spot if you looked from afar.
“Is that the slash mark I made earlier? Why is the tree not damaged at all?” Xiao Chen was confused, and he reached out to touch the mark subconsciously.
It was only one gentle touch, but the big tree moved, and began to tilt in one direction. In the end, it fell down to the ground. It made such a big noise that the birds in the surroundings all fled in panic.
