61 Finishing up the training (1/2)

Bai Yun entered the gravity chamber at dawn. He booked six weeks in the gravity chamber and then used the rest of the points in order to exchange for cultivation resources as well as some recovery medicine and food and water for the retreat.

The gravity chamber was a large square room, with enough space for cultivation. It was empty, and any items needed for cultivation had to be brought in from outside. In the center, There was a large circle. The circle was a formation and was the core of the gravity chamber. The gravity in the circle could be manipulated from an increase of ten percent to ten ties the normal gravity.

There were four things Bai Yun had hoped to achieve by the time he finished the retreat. First and foremost he had to improve his body constitution. The next order was to improve his movement technique. The third was to improve and stabilize his cultivation. And finally he needed to find and assimilate his huge knowledge and experience and improve his techniques to make them much more powerful.

Bai Yun set down all the items he would need for survival, like food and water outside the circle. There was also a small toilet and shower nearby, thus fulfilling all of Bai Yun's needs for a long retreat. He set down the weights and stones he had brought with himself at the edge of the circle. He then took of his his robe, and stood there wearing only his pants, his upper body bare. He finally took out a restrictive robe that wrapped around his entire body, and constricted his movements and kept it nearby.

The very first thing Bai Yun did was to increase the gravity in the gravity chamber to two times the normal. Bai Yun decided to keep the gravity at at least two times the normal at all times in order to make his body get used to the power as quickly and improve its constitution as fast as possible. He would then increase it to higher levels when he was working out to stress himself.

First Bai Yun had breakfast. Then he stood at the gravity chamber and swung his sword. He had started to shadow box to get his body used to the simple sword.

Bai Yun's greatest strength was the Simple word. But even with his great knowledge, he was completely unable to use it optimally. Currently he could only make a move after seeing the movement of the opponent. This was called sword following the soul.

The next step would be to make the movements of the sword completely instinctual as well as muscle memory. This would allow his body body to react even before he had noticed the danger, thus saving time and even his life. This was called sword following the body. The only way to do this was by an enormous amount of effort and repetitive practice.

Bai Yun only spend an hour in this. The best way to achieve sword following the body was through life and death battles. He was only laying down a foundation for now. Once he was done, it was time to move on to the next thing in his itinerary.

Bai Yun stood at the center of the circle. He took out his sword and closed his eyes. His sword was at his left waist, and he stood there while holding the hilt with his right hand. He focused all of his attention on the sword as well as the memories of his past life.

The God of Sword was someone who took a different path from the norm. Unlike the other swordsmen, he reached the pinnacle by pure technique and skill. Everyone else thought of using various techniques and arts in order to improve their strength, including Bai Yun. But not the God of Swords.

But there was one exception to this.

When he reached the peak of the Immortal step, the God of Swords was stuck at that position for half a million years. It was the first time he had hit a bottleneck. He then gave up on breaking through and started to travel the universe and beyond, looking for people to fight with and improve his technique.

He spend another half million years on this. During this time he even let go of his rule and created techniques. In total he created exactly six techniques. And on the day he created the sixth technique, he broke through to the God step.

Everyone else who saw the techniques called it the most powerful sword technique of all time. They called it the Six Truths of the Sword God.

He was humiliated, and nearly buried the techniques. He called it the Sword God's Folly.

Other than Bai Yun only the legacy disciples of the God of Swords were allowed to study the technique. Even then none of them managed to master all six forms. Even Bai Yun, who was considered the greatest genius of the time, only managed to master the sixth form after spending twenty five thousand years in the battlefield.

He was currently trying to retrofit the first of the six techniques, Sword drawing.

Sword drawing was the first technique, as well as the simplest. It was not particularly exceptional in anything, but it was the foundation for the other six techniques. And even then it was truly powerful.
