Chapter 56: Stab
Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek
The young patriarch had weird expression. Qin Mu's vital qi which was as thick as an arm was also called a vital qi thread?
Was there such a thick vital qi thread?
Was there such a powerful vital qi thread?
And what is 'I felt that my vital qi wasn't strong enough'? He had never seen such dense vital qi cultivation in the Spirit Embryo Realm!
The youth of Disabled Elderly Village had managed to stab through a wooden pillar that was as thick as a water barrel in one hit. He had also stabbed through a mountain rock that was six-yard thick in one hit as well. The strength contained in his vital qi thread had far surpassed who knew how many sword cultivators of Spirit Embryo Realm!
Village Chief smiled and gave advice to Qin Mu, ”That's right. You haven't mastered the most basic movement of the sword skills and that is stab. What if you could focus all your strength in your stab? What if you could unleash all your strength that you have?”
Qin found it hard to believe and shook his head, ”Using qi to manipulate sword uses vital qi thread to manipulate sword however vital qi thread is simply too soft. How can it unleash all of my strength?”
”It's possible.”
Village Chief leisurely said, ”Treat the sword as part of your body just like your hand. Now raise your hand and imagine you're holding onto a sword in your hand. With your index and middle finger on the blade of the sword, stab your hand out and the blade will follow!”
”Treat it as part of my body?”
Qin Mu was confused. His arm-thick vital qi once again swept up the treasure sword. With his right hand grabbing emptiness, his thumb pressed down on his ring and little finger while his index and middle finger stretched out just like placing them on the blade of the sword.
Qin Mu gave a stab forward and heard a screech. His vital qi had brought the treasure sword to stab forward, splitting apart the air and releasing a sharp screech!
He was surprised and elated. When he had used qi to manipulate sword just now, the power contained in the sword was at most ten percent of his own power and now he felt that the strength in the sword had increased by several times!
Young patriarch smiled, ”This is called Secrets Of Sword Clutch, the introductory form of cultivating sword. Just now you pierced through mountain rock without using any sword secrets. It seems like your vital qi density is much higher than mine back then!”
Village Chief shook his hand, ”However it's' still not enough. Just by using Secrets Of Sword Clutch, it's impossible for him to defeat experts that have cultivated sword path for several decades. Mu'er let your vital qi flow out from your palm and try again.”
Qin Mu followed what he said and coiled the vital qi from his palm onto the treasure sword. Stirring up his vital qi, he gave a stab forward once more.
woosh—
His sword stabbed forward and raised a whirlwind with the whistling of the sharp sword in it, which was screeching!
Young patriarch's eyes twitched and immediately sensed that the power of Qin Mu's stab had been raised by ten percent. It was simply formidable for Qin Mu to have such a huge enhancement with just an advice or two from the old crippled!
Village Chief shouted, ”The vital qi thread isn't supposed to coil around the sword and should be rooted in the sword. The sword is part of your body and so is your vital qi! Try again!”
Qin Mu's vital qi immersed into the sharp sword and fused together with it, instantly making him feel as if he had grown another arm.
With this stab, he instantly felt that his strength was like a flood finding a hole to drain out. Seventy to eighty percent of his strength managed to accumulate in his sword as he gave another stab forward!
In the village, the wind whistled as the wooden pile that Butcher always used to prop himself on was split into half.
Qin Mu stared blankly. His sword hadn't even touched the wooden pile yet! It was the sword wind that had split the wooden pile into two!
Young patriarch exclaimed in admiration. With just a few words from the old cripple, he was able to bring out Qin Mu's potential. He indeed had extremely high attainments in sword arts.
”Still not enough.”
Village Chief continued, ”Your strength isn't fully unleashed. Your strength may have been used on the sword but what about your spirit embryo's? Where's the strength of your spirit embryo? The spirit embryo also has to hold the sword! Stab again!”
Qin Mu composed himself. In his Spirit Embryo Divine Treasure, his spirit embryo followed his movement and stabbed his fingers forward!
”Not good enough! Where is the Secrets Of Elixir Heart? Secrets Of Elixir Heart not only requires you to cultivate out your elixir heart but also to plant your elixir heart in your sword! Plant in your sword now!”
”Still not enough, again! Plant the elixir heart in your sword, that's the crucial point in Secrets Of Elixir Heart!”
”Legs to the earth is the source of strength. Use the leg techniques that Cripple had taught you to borrow strength from the earth!”
”Where are your eyes? Where's Heaven's Eyes that Blind had taught you? Let your sword grow eyes too!”
”The punches you had learned from Old Ma cultivate your muscles like a dragon. You've also seen a real dragon before, so why doesn't your sword have the majestic atmosphere of the dragon and the destruction of Old Ma's punches?”
