If she had cultivated step by step, from the Spirit Awakening stage all the way to the Dao Nurturing stage, the techniques engraved would certainly have been more than merely Spirit Essence-grade. This was the result of pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
Of course, as time passed, with more real combat, greater affinity with the rules, and continued effort, those levels would gradually break through.
So what she lacked most was still mental cultivation and real combat experience, not that the spirit arts I had given her were inadequate.
One had to know that this set of spirit arts would only grow stronger as her swordsmanship entered the realm of transformation. Even at the Core Embrace stage later on, that would not be its limit.
"Be careful! She seems to be a pure sword cultivator!"
"How could she be a pure sword cultivator?! Could she be a true disciple from some sect?!"
"Fuck, we've kicked an iron plate this time! Brothers, be careful!"
"Don't enter her attack range! Keep her at bay with spirit arts!"
"Those who can use ice spirit arts, use ice spirit arts! Those who can't, use fire and water spirit arts!"
"Dao Nurturing-stage brothers, keep her tied down! The other Spirit Awakening-stage nephews, stay behind us Dao Nurturing-stage cultivators!"
"Spirit Awakening-stage cultivators, all of you attack her master! Don't let her break free from her protective range!"
This group of spirit cultivators had finally exposed their hidden identities. They appeared to be disciples of some spirit sect, merely disguised as members of crooked and evil paths.
This showed that even the spirit cultivation world had its rules. Higher sects had a duty to govern lower sects, and would never allow them to act with impunity and wreck the rules of the spirit cultivation world.
