Sword Cultivators, Sword Cultivators: Sword Before Cultivation

"Senior Shi Li, are you saying that my Twin Pearl Peak Sun Moon Dual Cultivation Method is not a pure Sword Cultivator cultivation method?"

Outside a small thatched hut in Ten Li Slope, Jiang Lin put several plates of mutton into a pot.

Although Jiang Lin and Senior Shi Li have reached the Middle Five Realm and are able to Bigu grains, they still need to eat. After all, it's a habit, and life is only half as enjoyable if you can't eat delicious food.

"Not exactly." The man, who had remained anonymous and was referred to as Senior Shi Li by Jiang Lin, added more chili powder to the hot pot. "Peak Lord Jiang also cultivates the Sun Moon Dual Cultivation Technique, but both Peak Lord Jiang sword intent and sword energy are top-notch."

"My master?"

Jiang Lin was somewhat surprised, because in his memory, although his master was Sword Cultivator and had reached the Jade Purity Realm, his master's harmless and adorable appearance had always made Jiang Lin think that his master was just at a higher cultivation level...

After all, what is Sword Cultivator?

He is a cultivator who is decisive in killing and has the greatest destructive power.

The higher the sword energy and sword intent, the more pronounced this becomes.

But he knew his master better than anyone else.

Last time, my master wanted to kill a chicken to nourish himself, but he ended up chasing after that old hen with Vegetable Knife.

I finally caught up, but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it down. In the end, my master carried the old hen to me, his eyes brimming with tears. His pitiful and adorable appearance comforted me for a long time.

"Hmm," the Ten Li Slope Sword God picked up a piece of mutton, blew on it a few times, and put it in his mouth. "Although I don't know much about your Twin Pearl Peak ' Sun Moon Dual Cultivation Sun Moon Dual Cultivation, I've heard that it consists of mental techniques, sword techniques, and other things, right?"

The cultivation methods of each peak of the Sun Moon Sect are not strictly kept secret. Apart from some core parts that are top secret, most of the mental techniques and cultivation methods are generally known to everyone.

After all, everyone sees each other all the time, and the Sun Moon Sect doesn't have any serious sectarian prejudices, so no one would think about strictly avoiding anyone else.

For example, Jiang Lin knew that the Nine Yin White Bone Claw of Spirit Bird Peak required him to eat several kilograms of pickled peppers before each training session, and then soak his claws in the pickled peppers.

But Jiang Lin didn't know what they were doing while soaking their paws.

For example, the Black Bear Peak cultivators spend their days sleeping and increasing bee production, but Jiang Lin has no idea how those black bears manage to do it.

Therefore, many in the Sun Moon Sect know that the practice of cultivating Sun Moon Dual Cultivation on the Twin Pearl Peak, although primarily for Sword Cultivator, also includes internal energy incantations, body-refining methods, and so on, all relying on the radiance of the sun and moon.

However, what they didn't know (even Jiang Lin didn't know) was that the most crucial aspect of the Sun Moon Dual Cultivation Method wasn't the "sun and moon" but the "co-cultivation."

Even Jiang Lin didn't know that Sun Moon Dual Cultivation could change one's appearance and allow one to have two forms.

"Is Senior Shi Li saying that I've gone astray in my studies?"

Listening to the words of the Ten Li Slope Sword God, Jiang Lin felt that he understood something.

How do we define bias and impartiality? How do we define beauty and ugliness? Everything in the world is as it is in our eyes, but in the eyes of others...

"Senior, could you speak in a language I can understand...?"

"Cough cough cough... What I mean is, Little Brother Jiang, you haven't even grasped the sword energy of your Natal Flying Sword. You haven't even grasped the sword energy of your own Flying Sword, so how can you talk about sword intent?"

While eating hotpot, the Ten Li Slope Sword God continued speaking.

"Sword Cultivator Sword Cultivator on learning the sword. For Sword Cultivator, no matter what kind of technique or move it is, it is all for the sake of the 'sword'. But Little Brother Jiang's mind is a bit wandering. He has talent in painting, business, and so on. Even this hot pot he makes is extremely delicious!"

What I mean is that Brother Jiang is more attached to the Sword Moves than to the sword itself, and even more dependent on external objects than on his own Natal Flying Sword.

Do you understand what this means, Little Brother Jiang?

Sword Cultivator Sword Cultivator the Sword Cultivator over cultivation. How can someone who entrusts their life to other magical weapons and techniques, instead of trusting their own Flying Sword Cultivator, truly be called Sword Cultivator?

Listening to Senior Shi Li's words, Jiang Lin put down a few sausages and seashells, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something.

Indeed, what Senior Shi Li said is correct.

I do seem to have gotten things wrong...

For me, I don't have much attachment to cultivation. In the past, I treated it like a homework assignment, and I was content with just getting by. It was practically a Buddhist-style approach to cultivation.

And his master doted on him immensely, never demanding anything of him, as if he feared nothing as long as his master was around.

He only began to diligently cultivate when his master was injured when he was ten years old.

However, at the time I didn't understand the key points of Sun Moon Dual Cultivation, and the more I practiced, the more severe the stagnation became. I felt that many things were not working properly, and no matter how I practiced, it was not right.

Finally, I focused my energy on the buff from Sun Moon Dual Cultivation.

By harnessing the light of the sun and moon, one can apply a buff to oneself; this is a form of Sun Moon Dual Cultivation, and the feeling of stagnation during practice is not as severe.

Jiang Lin thought that it was around that time that he accidentally went astray.

He focused too much on the external buffs and neglected the sword itself. He still has no idea what the true sword energy of the First Snow looks like.

In summary, the problem was that I focused too much on the Sword Moves techniques and special effects, and relied too much on external objects. I didn't fully believe that my First Snow could break through all defenses with a single strike.

For example, moves like "Rakshasa Nine Gates," "Dragon Hailstorm Frame," and "Ice Seal Nine Heavens" are all launched using the characteristics of the First Snow.

It's less Sword Moves and more like a move that requires Magic Arts, like those used by other cultivators.

The essence of the sword lies in the sword itself.

In fact, the power of the First Snow was not fully unleashed!

"It seems that Little Brother Jiang has figured something out..."

Just as Jiang Lin was pondering, Senior Ten Li Slope let out a burp. Jiang Lin, snapping out of his reverie, looked into the pot and realized that the chicken legs he had just cooked were all gone!

Looking around, I saw that all the hot pot ingredients I brought were gone!

Holy crap! Is this cooked?

After wiping his mouth, Ten Li Slope felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help it; he was just too hungry.

My sales performance these past few months has been subpar, so I've been eating wild vegetables every day, and if I'm lucky, I might run into a lone pheasant (domestic chicken)...

"Since Brother Jiang Brother Jiang has grasped this, then come with me. As the saying goes, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth, and thus truth exists."

Straightening his expression, Ten Li Slope stood up.

Anyway, Jiang Lin wasn't very hungry, so he turned off the fire and followed Senior Shi Li away from Ten Li Slope. Sword Origin a waterfall that cascaded down. This was the largest waterfall in the Sun Moon Sect, and possibly even the largest waterfall in Wutong Province!

The waterfall crashes against the rocks with a deafening roar, making you feel as if standing beneath it could snap your neck off...

"Little Brother Jiang, please take a look."

The elder from Ten Li Slope sealed his acupoints and picked up a random tree branch.

After taking off his shoes and socks and rolling up his trousers, the old man from Ten Li Slope stood on a rock a hundred meters away from the waterfall riverbed.

The man stood still, one hand behind his back and the other holding a tree branch. His long hair flowed freely, and if you ignored his rolled-up trouser legs, he was incredibly handsome.

"Little Brother Jiang, please step back a little."

Sensing that Senior Ten Li Slope was about to make a big move, Jiang Lin also stood aside.

"Drink!"

The man gathered his energy in his Dantian, let out a soft shout, and slashed across the waterfall!

The twig slicing through the air, leaves drifting down to his feet, but... it was as if nothing had happened, leaving him slightly embarrassed...

"Sorry, sorry, I haven't eaten this much in ages."

Ten Li Slope straightened his expression, paused for a moment, and then let out a burp that lasted for five seconds...

"Hmm, it seems like it's okay."

He lightly flicked the branch in his hand, without any warning, as if it were a casual flick of the wrist.

In an instant, without warning, by the time Jiang Lin reacted...

A hundred meters away, the massive waterfall suddenly split into two tiers, its flow ceasing.
