Pure Yang Sword Art
"The first trial can only be passed by sword cultivators, the second trial requires a top-tier metal-type magic sword, so what is the third trial?"
Chen Changming stared at the stone gate, his expression gradually hardening.
The lineage of this True Person Pure Yang should be related to sword cultivation.
A faint sound of an array could be heard in the air, seemingly reminding him not to linger.
Chen Changming took a deep breath and, steeling himself, pushed open the stone door. At this point, he had no other choice.
We have no choice but to fight a desperate battle.
The stone door was pushed open, revealing a fairly large stone chamber. Three walls were shrouded in a layer of silver light, obscuring the contents of the walls.
On one of the walls, an ancient painting hangs.
The painting depicts an elderly man carrying a sword, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, with his robes fluttering in the wind.
Suddenly, a line of small characters condensed in the void before them. "Those who can remain in the stone chamber for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, without taking any defensive measures, and withstand the sword intent of the formation without dying, will receive the True Disciple. Do not cheat, or you will be Heavenly Thunder Striking Peak."
Is this a test of physical strength?
Chen Changming was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.
He never expected that the final stage of a sword cultivator's inheritance would be a test of the cultivator's physical body.
As a body cultivator, this was his greatest advantage.
With his mind calmed down, Chen Changming slowly walked into the stone chamber.
The stone door behind them closed automatically.
The sound of the array operating came from the void, followed by tiny sword intents falling on my body like dense raindrops.
These raindrops bounced off the skin as soon as they touched it, unable to penetrate even a little.
Chen Changming let out a long breath, a smile appearing on his face.
At this moment, he also looked forward to the inheritance of this True Person Pure Yang. What kind of Cultivation Method was it that required a sword cultivator to also have a powerful physical body?
The sword intent attack of the formation has always maintained the same frequency without any change.
After an incense stick has burned.
The sword intent vanished, and the light on the wall disappeared as well, revealing patterns and words.
"Pure Yang Sword Art?"
Chen Changming's eyes flickered, and he immediately spotted these four large characters on a wall.
He walked over.
"What's this?"
Just as he reached the wall, Chen Changming suddenly noticed two lines of text carved on the ground.
"That old scoundrel True Person Pure Yang almost killed me, but luckily my physical body was strong enough to withstand the physical test of the third level and I obtained the Pure Yang Sword Art."
"I almost perished in the third level too."
The two lines of text are written in different handwriting. The first line is written in a messy, unruly handwriting, indicating an arrogant personality. The second line is written in a neat and orderly handwriting, quite elegant, and only contains a single complaint before stopping there. This suggests that the person is usually a cautious individual.
"So, I was the third person to pass."
Chen Changming sighed softly, his feelings quite complicated. He longed to enjoy this inheritance all to himself, but reality had given him a cold shower.
However, it's unclear when these two people acquired the inheritance; perhaps they're already dead.
If they hadn't died, they could be considered fellow disciples.
Composing himself, Chen Changming began to read the text on the wall.
After reading the introduction to the Pure Yang Sword Art, he was both surprised and delighted, and at the same time extremely shocked, unable to believe that the sword cultivators of the High Antiquity times were so different from the sword cultivators of today.
In Chen Changming's understanding, modern sword cultivators' attacks are not very flashy, focusing on the control of Flying Sword with Divine Sense, and emphasizing the speed and power of Yu Fei attacks.
The Pure Yang Sword Art is an ancient sword technique, a set of exclusive methods for sword cultivators from High Antiquity times.
It was also obtained by True Person Pure Yang by chance. Since it was incomplete and did not have a matching internal energy Cultivation Method, True Person Pure Yang took a different approach and discovered that he could also practice the Pure Yang Sword Art by cultivating metal-type Cultivation Method, and the effect was quite good.
The Pure Yang Sword Art is divided into two parts: the Body Sword Art and the Flying Sword. When used together, the two are extremely powerful in both long-range and close-range combat.
The Flying Sword of the Pure Yang Sword Art can unleash the Divine Ability of Flying Sword, transforming a single sword into ten thousand swords. Each illusory sword possesses immense power and a wide attack range.
While the Body Sword Art has a small attack area, its single-target attack power is extremely strong. Moreover, one must first master the Body Sword Art Technique before practicing the Flying Sword Technique, because the Flying Sword of the Pure Yang Sword Art places a great burden on the physical body. If one does not have a solid foundation, forcibly using it will result in a backlash, leading to physical damage or even collapse.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changming's breathing became somewhat rapid.
This Pure Yang Sword Art was perfectly suited to him; it was as if it had been tailor-made for him.
Even if we disregard Flying Sword, learning only the Body Sword Art would greatly enhance his combat strength.
Chen Changming looked at the last part of the text.
"My disciple, I have cultivated the Pure Yang Sword Art my entire life and achieved some success, slaying countless enemies. However, before my time comes, I plan to venture into the Line of Sky to try my fortuitous opportunity once more. If I perish, the second half of the Pure Yang Sword Art will remain Line of Sky. If you wish to learn the second half, find a way to enter the Line of Sky and locate my remains."
Only the first half?
After reading this passage, Chen Changming's expression changed.
This True Person Pure Yang is far too cunning.
He deliberately left behind a legacy, not out of genuine desire to find a successor, but to have someone take his remains out of the Line of Sky.
But what exactly is this "Line of Sky"?
Thinking about these things was too far off and not something he needed to consider, since there were still two senior brothers ahead of him who should complete the tasks assigned by True Person Pure Yang.
"Disciple, the Body Sword Art is complete, but the Flying Sword only has the Three Yangs Opening Prosperity Tai. Once you have successfully mastered the Body Sword Art and can break the formation behind the stone gate, you can leave. As for the Line of Sky, you will naturally know about it when your strength reaches a certain level."
This is the last message left by True Person Pure Yang.
Chen Changming turned around, came to the stone door at the exit, and slowly pushed it open. He found a layer of light barrier behind him, which looked like Liuli and was very hard.
He looked around and found no text indicating "Heavenly Thunder Striking Peak", so he felt relieved. Holding the Geng-Gold Sword, he used half of his strength to pierce the barrier of light.
The barrier of light presented resistance, but it could not stop the Geng-Gold Sword.
After piercing the barrier of light, a hole the size of a person appeared in this barrier. A few meters away, there was a small teleportation array.
Chen Changming nodded in satisfaction.
He retreated, closed the stone door, and returned to the wall where the Pure Yang Sword Art was recorded.
Now, he can leave this Water Mansion at any time.
It's estimated that even the True Person Pure Yang Master back then could never have imagined that a metal-type sword cultivator's Body Cultivator would be so powerful, allowing him to easily break through this formation.
"The Pure Yang Water Mansion has a serene and secluded environment. I'm using this place for secluded cultivation, which is a good way to avoid the current chaotic situation in the Chu Kingdom..."
Chen Changming thought to himself.
He looked at the wall and began to seriously study this ancient sword technique passed down from High Antiquity times.
