Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 135: Damn it, practicing swordsmanship has led to strange deviations again!

Next, Xu You looked at the second reward, which was a Divine Ability.

[Charm of the Ghostfire Youth]

[Those who have faith, faith is priceless. This technique can be used on cultivators whose cultivation level does not exceed one major realm below your own. The recipient of the technique will worship and believe in you for their entire life.

They will become your most fervent followers, and you will be their god, the one they serve for the rest of their lives.

Note: This technique does not affect the recipient's personality or character. It can bind up to three followers, and once bound, it cannot be changed.

Note: Binding individuals carries risks. It is not recommended to bind those with strong willpower. Soften their willpower before binding, otherwise there is a chance of backlash. Backlash from faith can harm the soul, so use with caution.

Note: It is recommended to use this technique for legitimate purposes. Using it to cultivate followers like Xingnu would be a waste. Do not indulge in tenderness, make good use of this technique.]

After reading this Divine Ability, Xu You was once again stunned. This was another heaven-defying Divine Ability.

Regardless of the name of this Divine Ability, its effect was simply against the Great Dao.

For Demonic Cultivators, controlling others through techniques like this was not uncommon, and there were many such techniques.

However, those techniques could only affect the soul. After successfully casting the technique, the soul would be damaged, and both the consciousness and Divine Ability would be greatly reduced.

It was impossible to hide the fact that the soul had been forcibly changed from ordinary cultivators. It could be seen at a glance.

Therefore, even for Demonic Cultivators, they would not easily turn living people into loyal puppets. The cost-effectiveness was too low.

What they gained from paying such a heaven-defying price was just a mediocre puppet.

So, many Demonic Cultivators would rather refine the dead than the living.

But Xu You's Divine Ability was different. It hardly changed anything about the recipient. They would be exactly the same as before.

The only difference was that they would be absolutely loyal and obedient to him. It was like being brainwashed, and there would be no difference in their daily lives.

What did this mean? It could be said to have great potential.

This Divine Ability could cultivate three absolutely loyal dead warriors. The selection of candidates had to be done with great caution.

They would definitely be useful in critical moments in the future.

As for the reminder about the limitations, it was not easy to judge what constituted strong willpower and how to soften it. This had to be carefully considered and not used recklessly.

And the second point, why did it remind him of Xingnu? Xu You wasn't stupid enough to use such a good divine technique to cultivate something like that.

But, well, this thing seemed to have some value when he thought about it.

Xu You fell into deep thought.

In the next day or two, Xu You and most of the disciples on duty at Kunlun Tower stayed inside. By now, rumors had spread throughout Tianque City.

The Lin and Shen families were destroyed overnight, followed by the Dongfang family and the Ghostfire Sect.

Kunlun Immortal Sect made a public announcement and released images of the destruction of the Dongfang family and the Ghostfire Sect.

Of course, there was no mention of the Demon Alliance and the Heng Alliance. These two forces were currently silent and had not reacted in any way. Other forces had also not made any statements about this matter.

It was as if it was just a simple conflict, and Kunlun Immortal Sect had resolved it.

But the quieter such a big event was, the more strange it seemed. There were still many discerning people in Tianque, and the topic of conversation among many cultivators couldn't avoid speculating about the deeper meaning behind this and the possible future developments.

Xu You didn't care about these things. He was focused on preparing to learn swordsmanship.

Yes, from today onwards, Mo Yuhuang would officially guide Xu You in her Great Dao.

At this moment, sunlight poured onto the empty steps. Xu You and Mo Yuhuang sat on the spacious balcony, basking in the morning sun.

Xu You sat on a small stool, while Mo Yuhuang sat slightly higher, crossing her legs. Her snow-white legs were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

"Do you know what my swordsmanship is, disciple?" Mo Yuhuang asked slowly.

Xu You nodded slightly, "I only know that Master walks the same path as Sword Sect's Chief Liu Chuanzhen, the path of the Tyrant Sword. I don't know anything else."

"Correct," Mo Yuhuang nodded. "When the old man asked me to choose, I chose the path of the Tyrant Sword. Before reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm, I practiced the Azure Cloud Sword Technique."

Strictly speaking, it is the inheritance of the former Qingyun Shangren.

This Qingyun Shangren was a powerful cultivator of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, which has a history of three thousand years. He once served as the Lord of the Kunlun Hall.

He was a renowned great sword immortal in the Divine Continent. In the past, Qingyun Shangren practiced the hegemonic sword path, known for its sharp and domineering Sword Qi, which could freeze the Divine Continent with a single sword.

It is said that he created his own unique sword path, and almost achieved perfection in the sword dao. However, he fell short in the end and condensed his lifelong insights into a sword scripture.

It is called the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture.

This Azure Cloud Sword Scripture has been passed down within the Kunlun Immortal Sect, and only true disciples can cultivate it.

Due to its immense difficulty, only those with Apex Level talent can practice this sword scripture.

But those who achieve success in its cultivation have remarkable accomplishments in the sword dao.

Therefore, the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture is one of the three major sword scriptures in the Kunlun Immortal Sect. Its significance can be imagined from its position in the long history of the sect.

Currently, Mo Yuhuang is the only cultivator in the Immortal Gate who practices the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture at the Heavenly Dao Realm and above. She is also known as the most outstanding inheritor of the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture in a thousand years.

Although Xue Qianluo is a disciple of the Kunlun Hall, she did not inherit the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture left by the former Lord of the Kunlun Hall. Instead, she chose a different path in sword cultivation.

"So, does Master not practice the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture after entering the Heavenly Gate? What do you practice then?" Xu You curiously asked.

"I walk my own unique sword path," Mo Yuhuang said calmly.

Xu You was taken aback. The difficulty of walking one's own Great Dao cannot be described in words. Even the former Qingyun Shangren fell on this path in the end.

Xu You had never expected that Mo Yuhuang would make such a decision.

"Master, why do you choose such a difficult path?" Xu You asked, puzzled.

"If you want to cultivate to the extreme, it is impossible without your own Great Dao. I don't need to explain too much to you, as it involves the issue of the competition of Great Daos.

Knowing these things now would be harmful to your Dao heart. In any case, I can teach you the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture now," Mo Yuhuang said slowly. "The sword scripture is different from the Vast Cloud Sword Art you practiced before. The sword techniques can be practiced by anyone, but it is about achieving different levels of mastery in the Dao.

However, the sword scripture emphasizes completeness and inheritance. If you truly want to achieve something in the sword dao, you must have the sword scripture as your foundation.

But I disagree with this. You can only cultivate the Nine Yang Immortal Art, which is your foundation.

Therefore, after thinking it over for some time, I have made some improvements to the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture, focusing on the sword techniques.

This way, you don't need to waste a lot of time practicing the Azure Cloud Sword Scripture. As long as you have enough talent in the sword dao, you will naturally be able to comprehend the sword techniques.

Finally, it will become a Divine Ability for you to cultivate alongside the Vast Cloud Sword Art, without hindering your own Great Dao."

After listening to Mo Yuhuang's explanation, Xu You couldn't help but be moved. He had never expected that Mo Yuhuang would care so much about this matter.

She even spent a lot of effort to improve the sword scripture, saving him a lot of time.

"Master, how long did it take you to improve the sword scripture?" Xu You asked.

"I just finished it in the past two days."

"Master, really? You spent only two days on it?" Xu You was initially stunned, then tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes but were quickly held back.

He stared at Mo Yuhuang with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

"Yes, just two days," Mo Yuhuang gave a definite answer, and Xu You's state of mind collapsed.

Mo Yuhuang was always the unreliable Mo Yuhuang. How could she dare to do this?

The Azure Cloud Sword Scripture was the result of Qingyun Shangren's lifelong efforts. How could she change it in just two days?

Who would dare to practice it?

Thinking of this, Xu You looked at Mo Yuhuang with some doubt in his eyes.

Seeing Xu You's expression, Mo Yuhuang raised an eyebrow and said, "What, don't you trust me?"

"It's not that, Master," Xu You patiently explained, "I'm just wondering if two days is too short. Not to mention the side effects caused by changing the principles."

"Don't worry," Mo Yuhuang waved her hand confidently. "You can trust my sword cultivation. There won't be any problems. Even if there are, I have a solution."

"But."

"But what? Are you joining or not? If you're not, then forget it."

"I'm joining, I'm joining," Xu You gritted his teeth and replied, ready to trust Mo Yuhuang once again.

Mo Yuhuang nodded approvingly and then took out a book from between the two mountains and threw it to Xu You.

Xu You took the fragrant book, which had four large characters on the cover: Azure Cloud Sword Technique, with a signature below.

Mo Yuhuang arrogantly signed his own name, looking very proud.

Xu You opened it and saw that the large book only had a few empty pages, with only two sword techniques, Divine Ability, recorded inside.

One was called "Shenxiao" (Divine Sky), and the other was called "Benlei" (Thunderbolt).

The names were quite concise.

"At your current level, you can only cultivate these two sword techniques. After reaching the fifth realm, you can learn others. Don't be greedy. Study them well on your own for a few days. I'll go out for a while and come back to test you. Don't disappoint your master," Mo Yuhuang pinched Xu You and then disappeared on the spot.

Xu You sighed lightly and opened the first sword technique, Shenxiao.

The so-called Shenxiao Sword Technique was the most powerful killing move in the Azure Cloud Sword Technique at the fourth stage.

This Shenxiao Sword Technique, as the name suggests, was Sword Qi stimulated by the power of the soul, rather than formed by one's own cultivation.

This aspect was somewhat similar to the Mud Pill Palace Sword, but the Mud Pill Palace Sword only went through the soul, not the use of soul power.

This Shenxiao Sword Qi was formed by fully utilizing the power of the soul on the basis of cultivation, that is, by combining body and soul to unleash Sword Qi.

It was a level higher than the so-called unity of man and sword, a trinity of man, sword, and god.

Thus, it erupted with the most terrifying power of Sword Qi, theoretically surpassing the Mud Pill Palace Sword in a dimension, both in terms of difficulty and power.

Indeed, it was one of the three major sword techniques of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, worthy of its reputation.

For those who practiced the Azure Cloud Sword Technique, cultivating this Shenxiao Sword Technique required exceptional talent, but the sword technique had specific methods of cultivation to assist in reducing the difficulty by reducing the involvement of the soul.

Of course, the cost of reducing the difficulty was a decrease in power.

After all, this soul Sword Qi would lose a lot of power if the involvement of the soul was reduced, but even so, it was not something an ordinary person could cultivate.

The level of Shenxiao Sword Qi was judged based on the degree of involvement of the soul.

Those with outstanding talent could condense three or four layers of soul power to enhance the Sword Qi, which was already very powerful.

Each layer was extremely difficult, and in the end, it depended on natural talent. Effort was useless.

It was said that if one could fully mobilize the power of the soul, then the Shenxiao Sword Qi would undergo a qualitative change, and its purity would be sufficient to borrow the power of the heavens and the earth.

By borrowing a part of the power of the heavens and the earth, this Shenxiao Sword Qi could increase several times in power.

Only after reaching the Alchemy Dao realm could cultivators completely control the use of spiritual energy, techniques, Divine Ability, and other secret arts by subtly manipulating the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth to enhance their power.

This was something that Human Dao realm cultivators simply could not do.

And as their cultivation progressed, their control over the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth became even higher.

After reaching the sixth realm, the Gold Core Realm, they would gradually come into contact with another world, the so-called power of the heavens and the earth.

When a cultivator reached the sixth realm and condensed their Gold Core, they could initially sense the power of the heavens and the earth, and in the late stage of the sixth realm, they could borrow a little of the power of the heavens and the earth.

Divine Ability based on the power of the heavens and the earth was the pinnacle that Alchemy Dao realm cultivators could achieve.

The power of the heavens and the earth was different from spiritual energy. Its power was far beyond what human strength could withstand. Divine Ability enhanced by the power of the heavens and the earth would completely overwhelm cultivators below them.

To completely control the power of the heavens and the earth, one had to reach the seventh realm.

Just like when Mo Yuhuang was in the Ghost Fire Sect, that Sword Qi carried the might of the power of the heavens and the earth, and with one sword, it directly annihilated the Ghost Fire Sect.

It was enough to see the terror of the power of the heavens and the earth.

And because comprehending the power of the heavens and the earth was too difficult, few Alchemy Dao realm cultivators could master the ability to borrow a little of the power of the heavens and the earth to enhance their Divine Ability.

And this Shenxiao Sword Technique can achieve it, borrowing a little bit of the heaven and earth's momentum with the cultivation of the Four Realms. Don't underestimate this tiny bit.

This sword technique is enough to pose a deadly threat to any cultivator below the Six Realms.

Because it not only harms the physical body, but also the essence and foundation of the cultivator, which is the divine soul.

Yes, this is where the true power of the Shenxiao Sword Technique lies, directly attacking the core of the cultivator's life, the divine soul. The consequences can be imagined once the delicate existence of the divine soul is attacked.

Of course, the prerequisite is very strict, requiring the complete activation of the Shenxiao Sword Qi with the power of the divine soul.

This level of difficulty can only be achieved by the most apex-level sword genius.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Xu You has not cultivated the Azure Cloud Sword Classic, so he cannot take any shortcuts and can only rely on his own understanding of swordsmanship to forcefully achieve this.

Understanding this, Xu You finally knows about the Shenxiao Sword Qi.

At the same time, he can't help but complain about Mo Yuhuang. She didn't change anything at all!

She just copied the Shenxiao Sword Qi from the Azure Cloud Sword Classic and claimed that she made changes herself.

How is it possible to change a sword classic into a sword technique in just two days, especially a Divine Ability of the level of the Azure Cloud Sword Classic?

It is because the Shenxiao Sword Qi can be partially activated without relying completely on the Azure Cloud Sword Classic. As long as you have enough talent, you can activate it with the power of the divine soul.

The role of the sword classic is mainly to reduce the difficulty.

In this regard, this sword technique is even more difficult for Xu You, who has not cultivated any sword classics.

Firstly, the activation of the divine soul is even more difficult, and secondly, to borrow a little bit of the heaven and earth's momentum, it must be fully developed, which increases the difficulty by several levels.

These two problems can discourage countless so-called sword geniuses.

But who is Xu You? He is a man who has nothing to lose. If he wants to bite, he will bite the most powerful, the best, and the most difficult.

The more difficult it is to bite, the greater the final power. Naturally, Xu You wants to master this sword technique!

As usual, Xu You carefully looked at the specific formulas of the sword technique in the later part.

As usual, he was confused and couldn't understand it, feeling like it was all in a fog.

Sighing lightly, Xu You said, "Let's go!"

The heart of questioning directly activated, and when he looked at the formulas of the sword technique again, he suddenly had a moment of enlightenment, as if eating and drinking.

Enlightened, enlightened!

A whole day and night passed before Xu You completely understood this Shenxiao Sword Technique.

The difficulty of the two aspects combined was almost too much for Xu You, even with his cheat-like abilities. It was much more difficult than the Mud Pill Palace Sword.

Ah, on this clear morning, Xu You took a deep breath and expelled the impurities in his chest, then began to prepare for practical training.

Activating the formulas of the Shenxiao Sword Technique, he first condensed and mobilized the "Sword Qi Mold" with his own cultivation, and then Xu You completely immersed his mind in the divine palace.

The power of the divine soul in his body resonated in an inexplicable way, enhancing the Sword Qi.

One percent, two percent, until the power of the divine soul was used to its eighth percent, Xu You finally felt the limit and suddenly opened his eyes.

An invisible Sword Qi surged out from his fingertips and finally took shape in front of him, a plain and unadorned tiny green Sword Qi.

But Xu You could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained in the Sword Qi. This kind of energy not only caused tremendous damage to the physical body, but also to the divine soul.

Xu You was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to actually work, but it's still not enough. He must use the power of the divine soul to its fullest extent, in order to borrow a little bit of the heaven and earth's momentum, which is the true killer move.

Two days later, it was another clear morning.

Xu You stood on the balcony with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

There was good news and bad news.

The good news is that after these two days of hard practice, he can now perfectly activate the Shenxiao Sword Technique with the power of the divine soul.

Its power has indeed undergone a qualitative change, carrying a little bit of the heaven and earth's momentum, and its destructive power has directly increased by a dimension.

If an ordinary cultivator below the Five Realms were caught off guard and tried to resist this Sword Qi that carries the heaven and earth's momentum and specializes in attacking the divine soul, they could be severely injured or even killed.

It is worthy of being the divine technique of the Azure Cloud Sword Classic, and worthy of being so difficult to learn. Xu You believes that even if Xue Qianluo were to learn this, it would take several months of effort.

The bad news is that during the learning process, another deviation was triggered.
