Magic Cultivation

Chapter 37: Cultivation and sword intent

"Hahaha! old man you have eyes, you see Mt. Tai at a glance it seems your luck is very good meeting me, now not only will you be my Knight but as my Knight I need to properly teach you what real swordsmanship really is" I may sound arrogant to him right now but that is the truth, if someone swore his loyalty to me then of course he'll be properly compensated by me!

As the Dark Knight, And the sword emperor who has manage to reach my goal in creating a supreme sword art and comprehensing all kinds of sword intent to maximize my potential, it isn't a lie if I may so that I'm the sword emperor.

"M-mt. Tai? is there such mountain here young man..?" As I saw the old man raised his brow in question I couldn't help but laugh in my ignorance, old habits die hard.

"Old man, come follow me but first I'm gonna get Lisa, Ayesha and Paul" I'm gonna start training them, in the padt weak I wasn't just also reading about different books about herbs but was also practicing magic and recreating a semi furnace, but such a shame it is so hard to opperate I used different array such as the heart flame stabilizing array, the QI gathering array, and space dealing array and also tried to use the spirit gathering array

With the help of magic spells it was easy to materialize this array in unison and made a somewhat floating array furnace but it was still very inefficient, I need to use spiritual flame which is created by the soul power and it consumes too much as my soul power wasn't enough but the spirit gathering array made it esier but the control of the whole thing was very chaotic it made my first attempt explode, and the second one was a success but the pill I wanted to create was a level 7 spirit pill! Names the Asura Blood refining pill which makes ones body soar to it's extremes and it's main ingredient is the scarlet blood flower but it's power is very overbearing, and thus the soul calming nectar which is obtained from the thousand lunar leaves grass produce which is quite hard to get but I managed to buy some lunar grass and started a small herbal garden in the Elder's mandion and created a spirit gathering array and QI... mana gathering Array, and for the final ingredient was the golden earth dragon's heart it can be directly used or be concucted into a pill because magical beast here doesn't have a colden core a dragon heart is the most useful but it cost me quite much and half of my hard earned money was gone buying this earth dragon's heart but it was worth it! I somehow managed to create nine pills out of it, however due to my crappy magical furnace it's efficacy only is 75% that of the real Asura Blood refining pill, but this is good for us because eating a rank 7 pill would make our meridians messed up and our dantian explode and even in some other case turn you into a cripple if you can't handle the power.

"For now let's focus on building their psyche but Ayesha has an anvantage on this, and I will have to give them their own special ciltivation method that suits them well..." As I mumbled around while walking around the village and somehow I unconsciously lead us to our house while walking six kilometers which took us about thirty to forty five minutes of walking and finally reached the small hill top and our broken house on top.

"Whoa... so you live here Nyx..? this is such a nice place..." I never thought Nyx and his family had their own piece of land and a small hill top at the top of that!

"Yeah... yeah... I never would have thought your family has such a luxurious land Nyx..." Wahh, as I thought a 7th circle mage as a father and a grand master swordsman as a mother would have a land worthy of their title.

"Indeed... young man why did you bought us here..?" This young man must have some kind of reason for bringing us here.

"It's nothing much... but old man I accept you as my knight, but... you gotta have to be stronger than me for that right..? so I'm here to show you guys how to properly cultivate your potential..." This old man if I were to say what his realm is it would be about in the threshold to the Innate spirit realm which one can finally manifest their innate weapon which mirror their soul.

"Haha... young man it's good to be arrogant at your age but don't overdo it too much-"

As Helbert tried to stop Nyx acting like a spoiled brat he was caught off guard by Nyx's sudden release of his sword intent, it was very profound and out of this world that the old man felt his knees weakened by the pressure it emit and saw a shadowy figure behind Nyx, it felt and looked like a god that stand tall about four meters high and has an ancient clothing of the eastern culture and a long hair that resembles that of a woman but it's body was that of a man, and this man was Xiao Rong.

"W-what is this pressure..?! urgh..." You have to be kidding me, you till me young kid like him has a power that can rival that of an grandmaster level knight..!

"Whoa... Do see that..?! Nyx has released a dark colored mana and tested this old man..!"

*Bonk!*

"Paul! Don't be rude! his name is Sir Helbert and his a Knight and a legendary Knight who has fought two Demon generals at the same time and even manage to live while fighting those kind of beings..."

"Ayesha... I don't feel so good... I feel... I feel like something is trying to make my consciousness... away..."

"Lisa..! are you alright..?! hey!"

"Is... is Lisa alright..? should I call Nyx over... he should know what has happened to her..."

Meanwhile, the old man us trying his best to resist the pressure and used his Aura to cover his body and felt the pressure has somehow been lifted a little bit, but it was still far away from resisting Nyx's Aura.

"Young man... what kind of Aura training did you do to achieve such a level of Aura..!" I can't believe it but this young man in front of me have such a domineering Aura that my Aura is being supressed, if I don't use my full power then I'm afraid I might as well failed to be a Knight once again..!

"Hah..! *Fwoosh*"

"What's this..? this old man... haha he almost really achieved the spirit union realm of the sword..!" It's when a swordsman achieve an starys to understand his sword and finally the man and sword becomes reality it is one of the true supreme sword, it is a secret realm that only those who are fated and as such this old man is very talented indeed that even the heavens are favouring him

I as a sword emperor, I cultivated in order to progress a much higher ciltivation and understanding of the Dao of sword and what I comprehended was a supreme sword intent but I first cultivated the Shadow assassination Myriad sword art which made my sword intent that of a dark nature and soon I manage to fully comprehend a new type of sword intent and I called it Abyssal Devouring sword intent, I called it Abyssal because of it's dark nature and add Devouring because anywhere I weave my sword it swallows the land, split's the sea and sever the flowing river.

As the old man used his trump card his body was enveloped by a bluish colored mana but it didn't felt like mana but more like a sword intent and soon it formed an armor and a shield but the shield looked more complete than the armor itself and this made Nyx dumbfounded as back then innate weapons usually only completes when one has reach the spiritual severity realm which one finally completes his golden core and reached another level which his knowledge sea finally manifest and the innate weapon will finally be completed and it has seven type's which is ranked according to their color, Red the lowest, Orange a much better quality than the red, Yellow which can be considered as an elite innate weapon, Green which is considered a rare innate weapon and one with this innate weapon is already considered as a genius, Blue which is considered as a one in ten thousand people, Violet a holy innate weapon which only can be usually seen in royal bloodlines and major sect's and holy lands, and finally the most legendary and mysterious innate weapon that no body has ever seen except for only a couple people in the world no body knows what it is but I believe it is a color that only one has that makes it super rare and mine for example a black colored innate weapon.

"This old man... his innate weapon must be the Blue one which is pretty good to be honest, hehe I should take it up a notch..." As I saw the old man tried his best to moved towards me I knew he can take more than this and so I exerted more pressure and made him feel he wanted to die at this instant, any normal cultivator would vomit blood by this much sword intent that I released but for him a genius it would be beneficial.

"...Help..." What was that? As I tried to test the old man if he was worthy to stand beside me I heard a voice that called for help.

I soon focused my attention to my surroundings and saw that Lisa has fainted from the excessive sword intent pressure, but I made sure that they were far enough and only focused my sword intent to the old man but still she got affected

I examined Lisa and knew that it wasn't something dangerous like being targeted by my sword intent, it was because she was in a state of deep meditation, I didn't knew until now but that stealth magic of her's didn't need any enchanting nor did I noticed a magic circle or a ripple of magic circle when Lisa was hiding behind the house back then

I sighted at my ignorance and finally knew why, it must be because what she used was a stealth technique that was very familiar with me it was an assassination sword art the phantom blade, it was a technique focused on purely assassinating people without them noticing and what Lisa did back then was the most basic stealth technique, it was only hiding her breath and hiding her presence so I was able to notice her.

"Hey, old man let's stop a little bit... I hope you have realised something and try to breakthrough to the sword union realm much faster with this..." As I noticed that the old man already tried his best and almost made his way to me but he was still a meter away from me from where we started he was at the very least nine meters away from me

But now I'm more concerned with Lisa, if something goes wrong then her enlightenment will be disturbed and maybe cause her sword heart to waver and maybe will be her heart demon which will test her cultivation in the future each cultivation would be very hard for her if that happens... but that is only if she fails, with me here I can even dissolve such low level heart demon with my divine sense and eradicate it completely with the heart vanquishing demon pill a rank 9 pill, but that will be hard.

"For now I should assist her and make sure to let her know whay the true essence of the phantom blade sword intent is..." As I mumbled around the old man, I heard his deep breath, and was panting so hard but howerver this old man has manage to create a breathing technique and it's rhythm was good enough for him to recover his energy and calm his body and soul.

"Paul is Lisa doing alright..?"

"Nyx... finally you heard us, we didn't dare come closer as even that old man was having a hard time coming closer to you... but Lisa... Lisa she suddenly fainted after the old man started to love closer to you..."

"As I thought... this is quite a surprise..." I didn't think but this girl Lisa might have the divine sword body, but it was such a shame that she has already cultivated the phantom blade sword intent it's only a fourth level heavenly technique.

Every technique has rankings from the mortal grade which has one to seven ranking to how strong to rare it is, and seven is the lowest and first level is the highest it could be, and mortal grade is followed by a mid grade and has the same level from seven to one as the highest, followed by earth grade, spirit grade, soul grade, innate grade, nirvana grade, void grade and then the highest in the current heavenly principle the heavenly grade but unlike the last grades it has a supreme level technique that only a handful had as such my "One sword s***h" sword technique which I successfully

Ahem or more like which I finally figured out how to use a supreme sword intent and a supreme sword art one of the handful heavenly techniques, but sone says that there are even a higher grade than a heavenly grade but only a handful sword technique and many other secret art has "Heavenly" as their grade because of how profound and heaven defying it's full potential and power has.

"What's a surprise Nyx..?" Is it the same with me..?! Nyx said that I have a special power that only belongs to me and was passed down by my parents, and I am very thankful that I somehow managed to inherit my parents power and Nyx said this power shows it that I'm their daughter.

"What..?! like you? then... then would I somehow also have a super secret power too right..?! haha, quick tell me Nyx!" I looked at this stupid moron and thought it was very amusing that he thought anyone could just have somekind of power whenever they want to, I smirked and just let Paul fantasized.

"Haha... Lisa is quite different from what you have Ayesha, but I can say that what she is about to have are the same with me and the old man has" That's right because somehow this kid has found a heavenly grade technique and has the divine sword body but a shame her fate is with this sword art, but that doesn't mean it isn't strong

The sword body has the capacity to fully comprehend all nine types of sword intent which is why it's called divine sword body, because of it's special quality a cultivator with this body usually has a sword as their innate weapon and nine at that with different sword intent which makes it quite terrifying but even back in the ten thousand immortal worlds I only knew three such people who had such psyche one was the sword crazed immortal but he was killed by the different major forces because he chose to be an independent cultivator but I meet him and made friendship with him and discussed the sword but I failed in assisting him, the other two were girls and one was my disciple but she disappeared a long time ago when she was about to breakthrough the void transformation realm she failed and was strucked by the divine raging thunder that can even shred space and time.

"And the last one... Urgh... I don't even want to talk about her..." She made my life miserable and chased me anywhere when she somehow find me or saw me, and I don't know why.

"Nyx..? are you alright? what are you mumbling about..? but what you said just now... is that true..?" I was absorb by my own thoughts that I didn't notice that Paul was actually listening to me so I just shaked my head and sighted.

"Yeah, she has a special constitution that can be only seen in one out of a million or even one out of a billion people... it is somewhat the same with Ayesha, but instead it's about what you just saw and felt earlier she has a very good talent for being a swordsman" This girl might even rival me if only her first sword intent was a supreme sword intent and I happen to have quite a few of those, because out of all my enemy they were all old monsters hiding behind the time and letting time erase their presence but in the end they falled before this king! hahaha...

Anyway it might not be too late to change that in the future, but first I need some special pills and conditions.
