Vol 20 Chapter 29 (2/2)

His sword-light drifted forward gracefully in an ephemeral, unpredictable manner

As a sword-art that had reached the speed of light, the sword-light created by the art was nothing es; the sword itself was in front of those blurs

Although Ning had reached an astonishi+ng level in his sword-arts, his poas extreht scraped past a gourd of wine placed on a nearby table, ourd didn’t htest

Even an ordinary Houtian-level hu at such a close distance with the wind generated by his sword But the power of Ning’s sas so reserved that it did not!

It must be understood that when Loose Immortals, Earth Immortals, and even Celestial Immortals struck out with their swords, the power of Heaven and Earth would be unleashed, causing a great disturbance Even for E able to infuse their sith tre it so reserved that it wouldn’t injure anything an inch beyond the target was incredibly rare!

Ji Ning, however, had succeeded! His sword-arts had clearly reached the ‘grandmaster’ level in the Three Realms

Whooosh

Sword-light howled forth, filling the area with an aura of ]

As far as despair went, his greatest moment of despair hen Yu Wei had shattered the bottle of Shennong’s medicine, then shattered her own soul and committed suicide! This was because thehad been filled with joy, delight, and hope However, disaster had suddenly struck Yu Wei’s actions, followed by her suicide, had co dumb

His parents had left Yu Wei had then left as well In that ’s heart had indeed been filled with utter despair

As far as sadness and pain went…

His saddest, ned Yu Wei into the Infinity hells due to his decision That was the ’s life

Ning was athe sword-art he was able to understandwith it, he gained hs, the profound secrets of the sword-arts continuously filling his mind

Nine days after his attempt at the Path of Blades

“Mourning…”

“Although it’s despair, it’s not utter despair,” Ning murmured to himself within the courtyard His heartforce had reached the fourth stage, and so although he entered a mournful, saddened state whenever he executed this sword-art, he was able to i There was no way he would alloord-art to control him and his emotions But of course, soo mad if he trained too excessively in this technique

“The aura of being h in terms of profoundness, this sword-art actually is inferior to the [Five Treasures], the ‘ive it a spirit of its own that is linked to it The sword-art and the essence aura are a perfect whole, as though they werequickly came to this evaluation

The [Five Treasures] surpassed the Heavenly Daos themselves; in terms of technique, it was naturally far superior

Although Ning was tremendously talented in the Dao of the Sword, the real reason why he was able to ht was because he had the hts for the [Five Treasures], ’s oord-art, the [Brightmoon] sword-art, didn’t actually have a particularly powerful ‘essence’ or ‘aura’ about it, but it was still quite powerful; clearly, this was because it had surpassed the [Mourning] sword-art in many ways, in terms of skill and technique

However, [Mourning] had its own strengths as well

It had an essence, an intent of its own that was one with the actual techniques In fact, the intent of the technique reinforced every single stance, giving it ’s sword-arts in ter the speed of light! In fact, in many areas it was superior!

As for intent…if the intent of this sword-art could be further strengthened, it was co a true ‘soul’ of its own

Ordinary huy’, their ‘ki’, and their ‘soul’ For a sword-art to merely have an ‘intent’ wasn’t that iained a true ‘soul’, it would truly rise to a new level…the fifth level of swordforce Upon reaching that level, even without actually drawing the sword, one would be able to cause major powers to feel despair in their hearts and perhaps even flee

But of course, actually reaching the fifth stage of swordforce was far too difficult In the entire Three Realms, the number of experts in either camp who had reached this level could be counted on one hand

“The [Mourning] sword-art…I’ve e the Path of Blades again, I trust I would be able to defeat the ninth guardian But the tenth? I’h yet!”

“The best solution is to ht mused to himself

The [Brightmoon] sword-art was derived froh it didn’t have a will or an intent of its own, it was still on the saained an intent of its own, it would vault to a completely new level

“By then, I’ll be able to effortlessly defeat the ninth guardian As for the tenth guardian…I’ll have a chance as well” Ning nodded slowly “Then let htmoon]”

[Bright had created hi Now that he hadto infuse the intent and will of [Mourning] into [Bright to be difficult, it was so he would be able to do

If [Brightmoon] was a technique which so to do this

This was just another exa one’s oord-technique could e difference

“My heart is in ”

“My will is in my sword”

“Let them both become one”
