After finishing refining the Heaven Concealing Jade Pendant, seven or eight days had already passed. Lin Bai eagerly took out the Nine Steps Chasing the Gods Swordplay, opened the manual, and began reading it carefully.
After Lin Bai finished reading it, he could not help but furrow his brows tightly.
The Nine Steps Chasing the Gods Swordplay could actually be divided into two kinds of Mystic Arts and Dao Arts. One was "Nine Steps Chasing the Gods," a movement technique, while the other was the "swordplay." Yet the movement technique and sword technique complemented each other, and neither could be lacking. If one focused on the movement technique, the sword technique would lack power; if one focused on the sword technique, it would not be agile enough. Only when the movement technique and sword technique were perfectly coordinated could the Nine Steps Chasing the Gods Swordplay display its miraculous effect.
The most important part of Nine Steps Chasing the Gods was the word "nine." According to the swordplay's core principles—"nine steps treading the heavens, spiritual power circulating nine times"—one had to take nine steps while the spiritual power in the body circulated nine times, stacking layer upon layer. Upon taking the ninth step, one would unleash the ninth sword. Only then would the swordplay's might manifest.
Although this Mystic Art and Dao Art was somewhat difficult to cultivate, it was a fine challenge for Lin Bai. After thoroughly familiarizing himself with the scripture, Lin Bai began secluded cultivation.
Many days later, Lin Bai still had not emerged from seclusion.
