Vol 27 Chapter 15 (1/2)
Book 27, Twelve Palaces, Chapter 15 – Preparations
Ji Ning was delighted to hear this Finally, he was going to learn about the history of the [Nameless] sword-art
Lord Woodflower continued, “This Eternal Emperor was known as Emperor Heartsword His rise to poas sudden, and for a brief period of tiure of the Endless Territories However, shortly after he revealed his brilliance he elected to disappear as he adventured through parts unknown He was so strong that he was most likely the Eternal Eemons in power”
“Ah” Ning nodded
Afterthe seventh stance of the [Nah the sword-art itself was on the same level of profundity as Eth lay in the fact that he was able to perfectly fuse his heartforce into his sword-arts It made the power of his sword-arts increase dramatically to a point where he was unquestionably much more powerful than Emperor Mirrorsnow had been It emons
It wasn’t that Emperor Mirrorsnoeak He had developed the Reincarnation stance at the World level and used it to break through to become a Daolord If he had been at the Forest of Sword PaGodas, his self-created Reincarnation stance would’ve been acknowledged by the Sword PaGodas! Someone who relied on this sword-art as the base of his breakthrough to Daolord would be able to immediately battle ordinary Daolords of the Second Step
But of course, Bertulu and Eastcult were even h, they would be able to match Daolords of the Third Step! However, the harder one’s path was, the more difficult it would be for one to become an Eternal Emperor! The more freakishly talented you were, the harder it would be for you to becoe of countless years, there were only three Hegemons
“What were his sword-arts na asked
“Prior to disappearing, he left behind a complete copy of his sword-arts with the Dao Alliance He named it the [Heartsword]” Lord Woodflower continued, “Only the Dao Alliance has a complete copy of this sword-art”
“Only the Dao Alliance?” Ning was rather disappointed
“Yes, because this is the one and only sword-art which allows Heartforce Cultivators to coe their poith FiendGod Body Refiners and Ki Refiners and then gain eternity,” Lord Woodflower said
FiendGod Refiners would be able to perfectly e the heartforce into their sword-arts and then enter close combat
Ki Refiners would be able to perfectlyswords as well
“A sword-art which can rival Hegemons, with only one complete copy… its only natural that the Dao Alliance would never transhtshore Kingdom offered to pay, they refused to let us have a copy So which mere treasures can be used to trade for A sword-art like that is one of the fundaanizations rest” Lord Woodflower continued, “The outside world only has incomentary records How many stances do you have?”
“Just seven,” Ning said
Lord Woodflower looked rather disappointed “The first seven stances were created by Eternal Emperor Heartsword before he was a Daolord, and they are the seven ht’ve encountered soone to the Ancient Library? The library holds a fragmentary record that includes the first ten stances of the [Heartsword] manual”
“The Ancient Library has it?” Ning was instantly delighted The Ancient Library si tens of h the usage of Godsense Even if you could fully review a thousand scrolls a day, it would still take over a hundred years for you to go through everything
“Our Brightshore Kingdom had to pay a hefty price in order to purchase these ten stances, and we’re allowed to teach them to others,” Lord Woodflower said “You are a cultivator, after all I’m sure you’ll have soain entry into it At that point in time, if you spent a bit of chaos nectar you’ll be able to purchase the complete [Heartsword] sutra”
Ning nodded He was a member of Vastheaven Palace, which meant that he actually had quite a deep connection to the Dao Alliance
“Make your preparations You have a hundred years, at which point the Twelve Palaces will choose select just the four strongest World-level experts for this opportunity” Lord Woodflower se
After parting with Lord Woodflower, Ning immediately headed towards the Ancient Library The Ancient Library was filled with tens ofscanned the place with his Godsense and was quickly able to discover a jade slip that had the words ‘Heartsword Sutra’ atop it In the past, Ning didn’t realize what it was, but now he realized that this [Heartsword] tome contained the ‘nameless’ sword-art he trained in
“It really is the sa picked up the jade slip and sent his Godsense into it, a large amount of information flooded into his memories This really did contain the first ten stances, as well as so this sword-art
The complete version of this sword-art contained fifteen stances The first seven stances had been created by E a Daolord, and he used the seventh stance to reach the Samsara Daolord level Afterwards, he used his fifteenth stance to become an Eternal Emperor
“It is evenviewed the ‘final’ three stances, he couldn’t help but sigh Actually, anyone could tell that they were the same technique The very first stance of this sword-art was named the Heartsword stance, after all!
The Heartsword stance had exceedingly high requireard’s to one’s mind and heart The user had to make hisabsolute mastery over the sword
The various later stances also had very high requireards to both the sword and the heart
The sixth stance, ‘Unicorn’s Heart’, was even more profound and abstruse than the Heartsword stance One had to find that epherasp
The seventh stance was even better The Cosmic Heart allowed for one to perfectly activate and infuse one’s heartforce into the sword-art When the sword struck out, it was like a tear shed for a person you loved
“His sword-arts actually aren’t that profound, compared to thehad seen s in the Forest of Sword PaGodas, and his horizons had been correspondingly expanded “However, the ed his heartforce with his sword-arts are worthy of further exploration”
The Twelve Palaces The Palace of Fire
“Have you heard? Just today, a World God in the Sword Palace naed by the paGodas”
“Ah? A World-level cultivator was acknowledged? What a freak”
“He would be the seventh Swordlord of the Sword Palace, right?”
