Chapter 135: Spiral Sword Form

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor appeared in front of Hall of Supreme Learning and smiled, ”Grand Chancellor, in that case, I shall overstep my authority.”

Fu Yuanqing followed behind him and looked around. He frowned and thought to himself, ”Which is my little junior brother?”

When Qin Mu detoxified the Thousand Opportunity Poison on Empress Dowager, he saw Qin Mu's appearance by the eyes of the bug. However, there were too many people here and he couldn't find Qin Mu's location in a short time.

The young patriarch smiled, ”You originally came here from time to time to be a directorate to teach the scholars. It just that you didn't come these recent years so you couldn't be considered overstepping your authority. Please.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor came to the front of the platform and took a look around, ”It's difficult to decline Grand Chancellor's magnificent hospitality. I shall open the forum and talk about swords and I'll only talk for two days and not touch on the rest.”

Chancellor Ba Shan muttered softly, ”Wasn't it three days?”

The young patriarch took a glance at him and said, ”Dao Sect is only going to block our Imperial College's gate for three days. Now half a day is already gone so if Imperial Preceptor is to talk for three days, it would be dreadfully late.”

Chancellor Ba Shan sighed, ”It's so hard for Imperial Preceptor to come and give a lecture and yet he couldn't talk for more than two days, what a pity… Imperial Preceptor giving a lecture personally is equivalent to Rulai of Great Thunderclap Monastery explaining the scriptures, Dao Master of Dao Sect imparting his skills and the cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult propagating the doctrine. How hard is it to come by?”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor slowly walked down from the platform and said leisurely, ”What is a sword? Is the nature of a sword fixed by a fixed shape? I strongly disapprove. Some people said that there were myriad of moves in a sword and some people said that there were only fourteen moves: stab, flick, wave, cleave, hack, poke, jab, parry, curve, smear, sweep, raise, intercept and shave. This is a misconception as well!”

He walked down and most of the scholars below instantly felt a pressure on them. It was as if an extremely sharp sword was hanging above their heads and was about to split them in half. That kind of unrivaled momentum seemed to be wanting to tear apart their bodies, their spirit embryos, their consciousness and their souls!

”If the sword is fixed, that would no longer be a path. The path is boundless so how can it only have fourteen moves?”

He walked down step by step and the pressure grew larger and larger but his voice was tranquil. Suddenly his voice was like sharp sword thrusting into everyone's ears, ”Sword, why can't it be sound? Why can't sword be light? Why can't it be color? Why can't it be vital qi? Why can't it be a gaze?”

His gaze swept across most of the scholar's faces and many scholars couldn't resist unsheathing their swords to block yet they blocked nothing at all, making them perspire in cold sweat.

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor smiled, ”Thus, does a sword only still have fourteen moves?”

Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead and only now did he realize how powerful Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor was.

Village Chief taught him the most basic fourteen moves of sword techniques and Qin Mu changed these fundamental sword techniques into numbers. He could replicate any move as long as he saw it once. At that time, Qin Mu had thought that it was the pinnacle of the sword.

And now, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had obviously struck out a new path for himself on the traditional foundation of sword skills and had further developed the traditional sword skills.

His thinking was even broader and thus he had created other fundamental sword forms outside of the fourteen fundamental sword forms!

”An out of the ordinary accomplishment, it's no wonder he is the number one man under gods.”

Qin Mu exclaimed endlessly in admiration in his heart. Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's thinking was too ahead of his time. Or maybe it couldn't be said ahead of his time and instead, it was him who was pushing this generation forward, pushing the paths, skills and divine arts to move forward, pushing the people of this generation forward!

”Therefore I had created another few moves on the basis of the fourteen fundamental sword techniques. For the next two days, I will teach you these few basic sword techniques and I won't talk about other sword techniques at all.”

Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor stopped and the smile on his face vanished as his expression turned solemn, ”But before we start, I want you to forget the shape of your sword. Sword can be light, can be sound, can be color and can be sight, therefore, sword doesn't need to have a fixed form. It can be long, it can be short, it can be hard, it can be soft and it can attack from any angle. If you can forget the shape of a sword, you can learn my sword skill. The first move of my sword skill, spiral.”

His fingertip moved and instantly there were countless of fine vital qi that was like sword lights surging out. They turned into a sword pillar and stabbed forward, ”This is spiral!”

This is one of the moves in Great Six Directions Sword Skill and looked like a stab but the sword pillar was actually formed by countless of sword lights swirling around each other. These sword lights constantly moved and constantly changed their positions!

Qin Mu had seen similar sword skill from Qu Ping; however, what Qu Ping executed was a hack.

Stab and hack all looked like basic sword moves but what formed the sword moves inside was actually Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's spiral sword form.

There was still a difference between Spiral Sword Form and Coil Sword Form of the fourteen basic sword form. Coil Sword Form was exerting strength on the sword's handle to coil the opponent's weapon while Spiral Sword Form gathered the strength to burst forth a world-shaking strike.

The greatest difference between the Spiral Sword Form that Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor had executed and Qu Ping's was that every sword in Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's sword pillar had a different transformation while there was no transformation in any sword when Qu Ping controlled his sword, therefore he was defeated by Daozi Lin Xuan with a horsetail whisk which was used as a sword.

If it was Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, he could have blocked Daozi Lin Xuan's horsetail whisk.

Not only that, from what Qin Mu could see, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor's sword moved as a whole.

His sword pillar was formed by countless of sword lights and every sword light was an individual but when he stabbed, they all stabbed as a whole. If one wanted to break this sword move like his, they would have to overcome the power of the sword pillar when confronting it. Only then could they break every single sword light in the sword pillar.
