Four Techniques as One
When Li Wei emerged from the combat space, he was radiating murderous intent.
Just as he had guessed, the remaining two were a reincarnator and a magic crystal warrior, who were also the planners of this siege. So Li Wei naturally gave them a good 'welcome' before dealing with them.
Back in Sand City, Li Wei glanced at Nina, who was still sleeping soundly, and made up his mind to start cultivating immediately. Although the Meteorite Spell that the opponent had just used came from a scroll, it had almost cost him his life.
This is no joke; one wrong move could lead to total defeat, so we absolutely cannot be careless.
The most urgent task is to improve combat strength. If we are stronger, we won't be in such a sorry state next time we encounter this kind of Meteorite Spell.
Having made up his mind, Li Wei waited for Zheng Yutong and the others. As soon as they arrived, he would immediately enter Shadow Street and exchange time in the game world to cultivate.
Half an hour later, Zheng Yutong and her group's off-road vehicle finally arrived in Sand City. Judging from the shattered windshield and scratches on the hood, their journey had not been smooth sailing. Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound, with no casualties or serious injuries.
"I knew it was you as soon as I heard that Sand City had been occupied!" Zheng Yutong jumped out of the SUV and smiled at Li Wei.
Subsequently, Xue Yan, Chen Dali, and the others jumped off the carriage one by one. With Li Wei's help, they gained Sand City's approval and entered the city.
With the addition of Zheng Yutong and others, the city's defenses immediately improved by several levels. Afterwards, most of the reincarnators who came to the city wisely chose to give up when they saw the bright red word 'danger' on the siege assessment.
Of course, there were a few who were reckless and chose to launch a forced attack, but once they were drawn into the battle, they were intimidated by the powerful defending forces and quickly met their demise.
The battle continued for a whole day, and at this moment, Li Wei, who had temporarily handed over the City Lord's Crest to Zheng Yutong, stepped back onto Shadow Street.
He didn't linger; he only remembered arriving at the building where he exchanged game world time, where he exchanged for another 60 days of the Legend of Sword and Fairy world. After a flash of white light, he was teleported to the Legend of Sword and Sword Immortal World.
By the time Li Wei used his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to arrive at the Demon Suppression Pagoda, only a few minutes had passed. This was the place he had chosen for his cultivation, and of course, Li Wei had another reason for choosing this location.
"You're finally back!" On the huge black boundary stone, the Green-Robed Sword Immortal sitting cross-legged slowly opened her eyes. Although her tone was cold and devoid of any emotion, her eyes betrayed her.
He clearly looked very happy.
"Yeah, I missed you, so I came back!" Li Wei laughed heartily as he walked over.
"What did you say? You lecherous scoundrel!" The Green-Robed Sword Immortal's face was flushed with anger, and Li Wei quickly laughed upon seeing this.
"Please don't be angry, fairy. What I meant was that I wanted to spar with you and also had some questions about cultivation, so I came back!"
After hearing this, the Green-Robed Sword Immortal finally revealed a slight smile, "Spar? Alright, I'll see if your skills have improved in all this time!"
In an instant, she let out a soft shout, opened her mouth and exhaled a ball of spiritual energy, which then transformed into a streak of emerald green sword light that rushed straight toward Li Wei.
Li Wei dared not be careless. He summoned the Black Spiral Sword and engaged in battle with the green sword light. For a moment, the sounds of weapons clashing were incessant.
From afar, Li Wei's Black Spiral Sword conjured more than a dozen sword lights, while the green sword light was also incredibly fast, transforming in the blink of an eye into dozens of green pythons that swiftly met Li Wei's sword light.
From afar, Li Wei was surrounded by a dazzling array of colors, a truly beautiful sight. However, those in the know could immediately see that Li Wei was several levels below the Green-Robed Sword Immortal.
Putting aside the power of the illusory sword light, the opponent's technique of Sword Control Technique from a distance was definitely far superior to Li Wei's. After only a few dozen moves, Li Wei felt somewhat stretched thin and unable to cope.
"Behold my Blazing Sword Qi!"
Li Wei knew that he would surely lose if things continued this way, so he had no choice but to use all his abilities. In an instant, the sword energy that Li Wei unleashed doubled in size, like blazing flames, and suppressed the Green-Robed Sword Immortal's sword light for a short time.
However, the latter slightly curled her lips, revealing a smile on her oval face. At this moment, she looked absolutely stunning, capable of captivating any man. Her fair and slender neck, her jade-like skin, and her red lips made her look like a fairy from a painting.
Fortunately, Li Wei, who was focused on the battle, did not see this scene; otherwise, he might have been defeated immediately due to his distraction.
"What a magnificent Blazing Sword Qi! It seems you've really improved quite a bit, but with this alone, you're still not enough!" The Green-Robed Sword Immortal made a hand seal with her jade-like fingers, and instantly a large lotus flower formed by light and shadow appeared at her feet. Under the reflection of the lotus flower, the original green sword light also increased threefold. With a soft thud, Li Wei was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground some distance away.
Li Wei felt as if his buttocks had been smashed into eight pieces, and it took him a long time to get up.
"Indeed impressive, fairy sister. What do you think of my current cultivation level?" Li Wei placed the Black Spiral Sword on the ground and looked up at the other party with bright eyes.
Seemingly a little embarrassed by the gaze, or perhaps pleased by the address of "sister," the Green-Robed Sword Immortal blushed slightly, then coughed lightly and said, "To be honest, your cultivation has already reached the minor completion stage, but it's still somewhat lacking. If you can withstand ten of my sword strikes without being defeated, then you can barely be considered qualified."
"Ten sword strikes?" Li Wei murmured. In his opinion, these ten sword strikes would be really difficult to withstand. If he remembered correctly, the green sword light had just burst forth and sent him flying with a single blow.
Therefore, Li Wei still has a lot of work to do if he wants to truly withstand the attacks of the A-level Green-Robed Sword Immortal.
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei quickly seized the opportunity to continue asking questions.
The Green-Robed Sword Immortal couldn't quite explain his feelings towards Li Wei. They were strangers at first, but by chance they became enemies, and then he even imprisoned Li Wei in the Demon Suppression Pagoda. Now, however, they had become good friends.
The change in relationship was so rapid that even the parties involved found it somewhat unbelievable.
Perhaps this is what they call 'fate' and destiny!
For the next few days, Li Wei sat next to the Green-Robed Sword Immortal, listening to her explain her cultivation insights and some key points about immortal techniques.
Time flies, and it is the seventh day. The Green-Robed Sword Immortal has closed his eyes and entered meditation to practice immortal techniques.
Li Wei, standing to the side, also began to breathe evenly, refining the crimson inner core within his body.
In the past few days, the Green-Robed Sword Immortal used special methods to examine Li Wei's internal condition, and the results surprised her greatly. She also gave Li Wei some advice.
That is, Li Wei currently possesses too many skills and techniques.
This is like viewing each person as a small boat floating on a vast ocean. So-called aptitude and ability can be seen as the size of this small boat, but no matter how big the boat is, what it can hold is limited.
Even if it's very large, the boat will eventually be filled. At that point, the value of the boat will be judged by the quality of what it's filled with.
Undoubtedly, delving into a specific cultivation path can lead to greater personal growth, while learning too many different things at once is not necessarily a good thing.
Based on this theory, the Green-Robed Sword Immortal suggested that Li Wei start from this point to ultimately improve his combat power.
Li Wei thought about it for a whole day, and finally he focused on four techniques: Cloud Piercing Palm, Innate Skill, True Qi-Controlling Formula, and Upper Clear Sword Marrow.
These four techniques are: one is a palm technique, one is an internal energy cultivation method, and the other two are auxiliary cultivation techniques and sword techniques. They seem to have no connection, but they complement each other. Li Wei wants to integrate these four techniques into one and create something new.
Outside the tower, autumn leaves covered the ground, and inside, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed, and Li Wei's research had reached its final stage.
Li Wei completely disrupted these four cultivation methods. With the Great Strength help of the Green-Robed Sword Immortal, he also incorporated some immortal techniques and Sword Control Technique provided by the Green-Robed Sword Immortal, ultimately creating a new skill.
There is a technique that can form a giant fire sword from blazing true energy. As long as this technique is activated, Li Wei does not need to use a sword. He can force out true energy from his wrist and eventually form a giant true energy fire sword.
Reaching a length of up to 5 meters, this sword has no physical form, relying entirely on willpower and true energy for support. It appears formless and simple, yet it is indestructible.
Li Wei once conducted an experiment, using the weapon he named 'Heaven-Defying Profound Sword' to attack the 'Boundary Stone' Demon Suppression Pagoda. The massive black stone, which was almost indestructible, was actually split in two under the attack of this power.
Upon seeing this move, the Green-Robed Sword Immortal beside him nodded repeatedly, praising its power.
"Your move could be called a divine technique, but it consumes too much true energy. With your martial arts cultivation alone, you can only sustain it for a short while. Although it can be used to defend against enemies in critical moments, this move is not practical!"
Upon hearing the Green-Robed Sword Immortal's words, Li Wei knew that she must have figured something out, or that she had some way to increase his true energy reserves.
After questioning, the Green-Robed Sword Immortal bit his lip and shook his head repeatedly. "You don't understand. In fact, you have already formed a martial core, which is the highest realm of a martial artist. Your true energy has also reached its peak. When you use ordinary martial arts, your internal energy will be inexhaustible. However, the Heaven-Defying Profound Sword that you created by combining the four methods belongs to the category of immortal techniques. Therefore, a martial artist's true energy is no longer sufficient to support it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei was immediately disheartened, thinking to himself that no matter how he cultivated the Innate Skill, he had only remained at the eighth level; it turned out that he had truly reached the peak.
But then I thought, since the Green-Robed Sword Immortal said that, she probably has a solution.
Immortal techniques, immortal techniques! Since the opponent is a sword immortal, he must have a way to activate immortal techniques. How can we waste such a good teacher?
So Li Wei's eyes darted around, and he quickly knelt down with a serious expression.
"Please teach me, fairy sister!"
