Chapter 57 Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura (2/2)
Upon mastering the charm of the piercing, the sword aura would enter into another space-time and exit from another place.
The mysterious space-time was not something easy to comprehend. The sword aura involved the mysteries of space-time, and all Shen Lian had to do was to replicate the process in order to activate the skill.
If the rest of the cultivators in the world were to find out about this, not only would they be in awe, they would be in fear of the true extent of Mister Su's capabilities.
It was just as the formula of nuclear fusion, every student in secondary school would be able to understand it. However, the scholar who came up with the formula was in an entirely different league of his own. His impressive scholastic achievement was something that the masses admired from afar.
Shen Lian had not reached the point where he could understand the importance of Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura yet.
Every time he pierced with his sword, his movement got neater and cleaner.
His stance was almost the same as that of Mister Su, but one could still tell the difference between the two.
The angle and speed of piercing were almost identical.
Shen Lian readjusted the inner Qi within him as he pierced according to the track.
However, after he emitted the sword aura, he could not find the tempo to make it disappear.
He was very patient. He did not blindly reproduce the pierce. Instead, with his spirit, he felt the difference of every pierce and the change in the sword aura.
It was a dry and boring process, but it was not a process that he should skip.
It was just as behind every scientific discovery, there were repeated calculations and endless experiments.
When one was completely absorbed in performing a task, one would find oneself short of time.
Besides eating and drinking, Shen Lian did not even bother with sleeping.
As his psyche was strong enough to support him, he did not have to sleep in a long time.
Shen Lian lost track of how many times he swung his sandalwood sword. The surface of the sword was bumpy and rough. It looked old and broken.
Shen Lian had an unkempt appearance, his previous delicate and pretty face was nowhere to be seen, and his eyes lost its luster.
As he pierced into the empty air, no howling of the sword could be heard, and there was no noticeable breath.
Shen Lian felt as the sword became part of his body, it was as though the sword grew meridians of its own and was part of his blood and flesh.
The feeling was unique.
Blood and flesh could nourish the soul, and the soul could feed the blood and flesh in return.
He formed an indescribable connection with his sandalwood. He did not feel like he was a different entity from the sword, but it was not as though they had become the same entity either. There were traces of him within the sword, and the converse was true too.
The pierce was not something that could be put into words.
The gossamer-like sword aura emerged from the tip of the sword; it appeared out of a sudden and faded away slowly. Sands and dust were flying on top of the loess faraway, and the deep mark made by the sword could be seen clearly.
More importantly, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians within Shen Lian had been unblocked. The inner Qi was circulating smoothly without blockage.
He heard the blood coursing through his veins, akin to a long river flowing freely.
The joy that he felt from the clearing of blockage could not be described with words.
Shen Lian heard a crisp bout of applause.
”Not only that you have cultivated the sword aura within half a month, but you have also mastered the way of forging alchemy,” Mister Su spoke after appearing out of nowhere.
As Shen Lian had previously unblocked both of his Governor vessel and Conception vessel, Mister Su was not surprised by him attaining a never-ending flow of Qi. Furthermore, he had seen geniuses who were born with their hundreds of meridians unblocked.
As for Shen Lian mastering Being and Non-Being of Sword Aura, it was all within Mister Su's expectation. Seeing how he had taught him the method of cultivation, so long as Shen Lian put in his hours, he would be able to master it sooner or later.
However, he was surprised by Shen Lian's unintended success in forging the instrument.
