Book 38, Daoe, Chapter 42 – Sword-Heart
“Now this is a deadly problereatest obstacle within the Daoe thus far
Why was it that Daolords all wished for the chance to coe? It was so that they would have sufficient experience for the real thing A e could be fixed in the real one
Alas, even the Daoe for an Oe up to the point where the bud first for was that it had saved hiiven him a chance to actually compensate for any mistakes or errors! And now, as a result, the co now encountered an enormous problem which he had to resolve
“If I wish to succeed in the Daoa Sword Dao, I must also master the fifteenth stance of the [Heartsword] art!” After spending half a year slowly bloo his Flower of Eternity, he immediately realized this problem
Ning had originally thought that the [Heartsword] art was just a type of special technique that coy He didn’t believe that it had anything to do with his Oa Sword Dao… but now that he had actually initiated the Dao!
It was connected! In fact, it was connected in a very important way!
Ordinary Eemons didn’t need to worry about techniques like the [Heartsword] art during their Daoa Sword Dao!
“The [Heartsword] art focuses on training the heart, the heart of the sword The more sincere one’s heart is towards the sword, the e heartforce, divine power, and Iy I was only able to master the fourteenth stance of the [Heartforce] art because I realized that Yu Wei would not come back to life, and thus I came to understand the essence of ‘Re into the sithout any reh a sword-heart like this is enough to y to a very high degree… it still isn’t enough”
“I need a truly perfect and complete sword-heart! Only then can I also have a perfect, Eternal Oa Sword Dao”
He only cae itself The ained into the Dao of the Sould fora Sword Dao, while his perfect sword-heart would form its ‘soul’ Only then would it be fully for Eternal Oa Sword Dao
This hy the [Heartsword] art was so e all types of energy together, resulting in every single attack increasing explosively in ht
“There’s a lie can take I have to comprehend the fifteenth stance of the [Heartsword] art If I cannot, I’ll definitely fail the Dao came to understand this, his face instantly turned pale There wasn’t enough time! The fifteenth stance of the [Heartsword] art was incredibly difficult
In truth, the [Heartsword] art was just a sword-focused energy-co technique which Emperor Heartsword had created There had been other major powers in the vast Chaosverse who had done the sa didn’t really need the technique itself; what he needed to do was to truly perfect his sword-heart
Whoosh One technique after another flickered through Ning’s mind These were the various similar techniques which had been created by the cultivator civilizations as well as the Sithe
“What should I do? How should I h the state he was in during the Daohs to come much more easily, he still wasn’t able to find the key to the fifteenth stance
“Wrong Wrong Wrong! The [Heartsword] art and the other techniques all came as a result of the unique hearts and minds produced by the experiences these various ’s eyes suddenly lit up “In the end, they reached perfection… but they each walked their own paths! Every single cultivator will have different mental and spiritual experiences If you try to force yourself to eht be able to reach an extreh level but you’ll never reach perfection”
“This is why, despite the passage of so many chaos cycles, there has been no one save Emperor Heartsas able to master the fifteenth stance of the [Heartsword] art That’s because one has to find own’s sword-heart in order to reach this stance!”
The prajna-state Ning was currently in was an extraordinary one, and he was able to quickly identify where the problem lay
In the early stages, the [Heartsword] arthis path, but the farther along the path Ning went, the more of an obstacle the [Heartsword] art became Thus, he had to discard it… because it represented Emperor Heartsword’s sword-heart!
“Then what of an to reh countless years of cultivation, as well as the many times he had trained in the sword
Slowly… Ning began to understand
One day Two days Three days One month Two months One year Two years…
The Daoe allowed for a Daolord to enter the most incredible and marvelous meditative state known to cultivators This wasn’t the first tiht back to his memories and his life, but now that he was in ained were naturally different
“Yes… long, long ago, I once lived a life that ithout worries and carefree That was back whenme In the West Prefecture City of the Ji clan, I trained with them in sword-arts I was so happy back then I simply loved sword-arts; that was all there was to it
“When did it all change? All kinds of different co desires arose in ht to train in the sword to take revenge for my parents, to beco and take e, to revive Yu Wei… I entrusted all ofto use it toso, my sword-heart actually became impure”
“Even when I reached the stage of ‘Remorseless Unto Death’, my remorselessness stemmed from my emotions and my love of Yu Wei, not for the love of the sword itself But…
