Forming Momentum with Sword Techniques

The night was deep and hazy, with twinkling starlight.

A bright moon hung high in the night sky, its radiance spilling down, draping the entire land in a bright veil.

Inside the cultivation room, two candles were lit.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on the Minor Spirit Gathering Array, lighting an incense stick for nourishing the spirit.

A delicate and unique fragrance filled the room, enough to calm the mind and focus the spirit with just one whiff.

Several months had passed, and with the help of the Minor Spirit Gathering Array and Foundation Cultivation Pills, Su Fan had finally cultivated the Qi Refining Fourth Layer to perfection.

These past few days, he had vaguely sensed a glimmer of opportunity for a breakthrough.

Su Fan took a Foundation Cultivation Pill from his Storage Bag, popped it into his mouth, and began circulating the Primordial Chaos Technique.

The spiritual energy around him surged and rushed towards him.

The fresh aura that washed over him made every cell in Su Fan's body feel like it was cheering and leaping.

As the cultivation method circulated, the pores all over his body opened.

A cool aura continuously cycled through his meridians, eventually gathering into a stream.

Primordial Chaos Technique +1

A message popped up in front of Su Fan.

He immediately felt a surge of excitement.

Immediately, his body felt a warmth, as if he were soaking in hot water. An unparalleled sense of comfort rose from the depths of his heart.

This feeling made one feel like they had ascended to the heavens, floating as if immortal, completely forgetting the outside world!

He had finally broken through!

It wasn't until the cultivation reached its ninth cycle that Su Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He opened his status panel, and the data for the Primordial Chaos Technique and his realm had already been updated.

[Realm] Fifth Level of Qi Condensation: 1/100 [Cultivation Method] Primordial Chaos Technique (Tier 1): 44/100

After more than seven months, he had finally broken through to the Fifth Level of Qi Condensation.

This cultivation speed, while not comparable to the genius disciples of the major sects, was already quite fast.

At the very least, ordinary sect disciples were far behind.

To achieve all this, Su Fan had also paid a heavy price; it was too damn expensive in terms of Spirit Stones.

One Foundation Cultivation Pill every two days, totaling over five hundred Spirit Stones.

The Minor Spirit Gathering Array required eighteen Spirit Stones daily, which came out to over three thousand Spirit Stones in total.

Despite this, Su Fan felt that the Spirit Stones were well spent.

Because after breaking through to the Fifth Level of Qi Condensation, each subsequent advancement would take more time.

Reaching the Late Qi Refining stage would be even more exaggerated, with each step feeling like ascending to heaven.

Moreover, with each further step, the required cultivation resources and Spirit Stones consumed would increase exponentially.

Su Fan stood up and walked outside the room.

The small courtyard was washed in a pale white by the moonlight, exuding a tranquility far removed from the mortal world.

He took out the Jade Slip that Ye Tianhe had given him and placed it on his forehead, then closed his eyes, beginning to study it carefully.

After a long while, Su Fan opened his eyes.

He had to say, Old Ye was truly a good fellow.

The contents of this Jade Slip were an invaluable treasure to him, something that no amount of Spirit Stones could buy.

After days of continuous study and contemplation, Su Fan not only deepened his understanding of the Way of the Sword, but his ability to control Magic Tools had also significantly improved.

Originally, his method of controlling Magic Tools was extremely monotonous and rigid.

Now, when Su Fan controlled the "Shadowless Needle" for attacks, it was increasingly sharp and fierce.

The "Shadowless Needle" was originally designed for insidious and mysterious attacks, emphasizing indirect kills.

By drawing on the techniques of Sword Cultivators controlling Flying Swords, its power had greatly increased, and it gained a trace of eerie sharpness.

He took out his Magic Sword from his Storage Bag and began practicing the Nine Extremes Consecutive Slashes in the courtyard.

His swordsmanship was now vastly different from before.

Previously, he relied solely on the strength of his physical body, using brute force to overcome obstacles, hacking wildly.

Now, each of his slashes was smooth and natural, as if heaven-sent, carrying a hidden, inexplicable power.

Su Fan practiced in the small courtyard countless times.

With each "Proficiency +1" notification popping up, he felt increasingly that he was getting it right.

With another Nine Extremes Consecutive Slashes, Su Fan sheathed his sword and stood.

He was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.

After a long while, his stamina finally recovered.

His magic sword trembled slightly in his hand. He bent his knees, stretched his arms, and with a sudden sweep, the sword slashed out horizontally.

As the sword swept out, it seemed to stir up a gale on the flat ground.

"Whirlwind Slash..."

His body spun violently, and a chilling sword aura whistled out, stirring up a terrifying storm throughout the small courtyard!

"Headwind Slash..."

A sharp and fierce slash, stirring up an endless fierce wind, leaving nothing alive in its wake!

"Sacrificial Slash..."

With a downward slash, it was as if he were on a battlefield, putting himself in mortal danger to find a way to live, with no regrets and no room for error!

"Tidal Slash..."

The surrounding air seemed to transform into continuous, surging torrents of water, converging into mighty rivers, which then erupted with a thunderous roar!

"Ghost Wheel Slash..."

Carrying a soul-capturing killing intent, like spectral ghostly energy, it swept in with the winds of purgatory!

"Void Slash..."

It was like an intangible wave, creating visible ripples of light, a sword strike that shattered the void!

"Limitless Slash..."

The sword energy was vast and mighty, tearing through the sky, slaying gods and buddhas alike!

"Ruthless Slash..."

One person, one sword, walking with a sword, slaying others and slaying oneself, cutting down all mortal enemies in the world!

"Rage Slash..."

The small courtyard was instantly filled with an atmosphere of immense grief and indignation, the sword aura, imbued with infinite sharpness, slashed down with a roar.

As the final move ended, peace returned to the small courtyard.

Su Fan's hands could barely grip his magic sword. He was covered in sweat, his body swaying precariously, almost unable to stand.

Not only that, but his spiritual sense was also greatly depleted.

He dropped his magic sword and collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.

A flood of information surged into his mind, all of it related to the comprehension and experience of the Nine Extremes Consecutive Slashes.

Su Fan opened his game panel, a smile appearing on his face.

Nine Extremes Consecutive Slashes (Forming Momentum): 1/1600

After practicing for so long, his swordsmanship had finally advanced.

On the panel, the realm after "Minute" was actually "Forming Momentum."

Just now, he had unleashed nine consecutive slashes, each carrying an astonishing momentum.

Compared to the "Minute" realm, the power had increased severalfold.

It was as if a door had opened, revealing a brand new world he had never seen before.

Each slash brought him an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

It felt incredibly good, but it consumed too much stamina and spiritual sense.

He had barely managed to execute these nine consecutive slashes, and they had already exhausted all his stamina.

Su Fan knew very well that he hadn't fully grasped the true essence of sword momentum.

What he had mastered was merely the tip of the iceberg.

After his swordsmanship broke through to the "Forming Momentum" realm, there was a lot more training to be done.

If he could push all his spells and spiritual powers to the "Forming Momentum" realm in the future.

"That would be incredibly awesome..."

The next step was to level up his spiritual power "Lightning Ghost Step" to match the "Forming Momentum" realm of the Nine Extremes Consecutive Slashes.

In future duels, as long as he could get close, he would dare to contend even with those in the Late Qi Refining stage.

Su Fan lay on the ground for a long time, his stamina not recovering.

His head was also groggy, and he couldn't muster any energy.

He couldn't keep pushing himself like this anymore. From now on, he would practice each sword strike one by one.

Su Fan struggled to get up from the ground, staggered into the house, and collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
