Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe seemed to be deep in thought.
He then asked, "In your opinion, is there a cultivation method suitable for me?"
Yu Tianheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness is exceptionally talented. However, the way of cultivation emphasizes mutual support to maximize its effectiveness. May I ask, what type of weapon does Your Highness usually excel at?"
Xue Qinghe's lips curled into a smile. With a flick of his long, slender fingers, a light sword formed from condensed Soul Power instantly materialized, its blade shimmering with a sacred golden light. "A sword. To defeat the enemy with fierce attacks, to subdue the world with righteous sword intent—this is the weapon I excel at." With that, the light sword drew a dazzling arc in the air, instantly slicing a teacup on a nearby table in two, the cut still gleaming faintly.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng nodded.
At the same time, he used his mental energy to communicate with the Heavenly Mandate System in his mind, entered the System Shop, and searched for a cultivation method suitable for Xue Qinghe, or rather, Qian Renxue.
First of all, since Qian Renxue said she is good at swordsmanship, then let's find her a sword technique to practice.
Furthermore, the opponent's Martial Soul is Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul with holy attributes.
After some searching, Yu Tianheng found a cultivation method suitable for the other party.
The Great Light Sword Scripture
This is a cultivation technique of the Heavenly rank, originating from the ancient and mysterious sword cultivation tradition. It was created specifically for cultivators to enter the Dao through the sword and forge unparalleled sword Dao supernatural powers.
Yu Tianheng spent 10,000 Heavenly Mandate Points to buy it.
Its opening line, "Light paves the way, the sword heart leads to the Dao," points out that cultivators must have a pure and bright belief in order to embark on the path of cultivation of this scripture.
The cultivation technique is divided into nine levels, each with its own unique cultivation method and power.
The first three stages of the initial exploration of the swordsmanship focus on honing the swordsman's foundation. The practitioner must be in a quiet place, using the sword as a medium to draw in the scattered light between heaven and earth into the body, condensing it in the sword's aperture, causing the sword to faintly shimmer with light, enhancing the sword's strength and toughness, while also improving the practitioner's ability to perceive and control light.
The fourth to sixth levels represent the realm of refinement. It allows one to gather a large amount of light Spiritual Power into the blade, releasing a dazzling beam of light that can break through all dark-attribute defenses and restrictions, and has a powerful restraining effect on evil and dark things.
The final three levels represent the pinnacle of achievement.
The seventh level, "Holy Light Disc Demon," requires the cultivator to act as a holy messenger of light. When the sword is drawn, holy light shines brightly, creating absolute suppression of all evil forces in the world. It can purify demonized things and bring them back to the righteous path.
The eighth level, "Unity of Light," allows the cultivator to merge with the sword and the power of light, imbuing every gesture with boundless luminous power. This allows the cultivator to create an independent domain of light, within which they control all light, restricting the enemy's movements and Spiritual Power.
The ninth level, "Great Eternal Light," grants the cultivator the supreme sword path, making them the embodiment of light. Wherever the sword points, the light remains eternally undying, capable of reshaping the order of heaven and earth and protecting all things in the world.
In Yu Tianheng's view, this technique was perfectly suited to Qian Renxue's Martial Soul, and she would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort if she practiced it.
After finding the cultivation method, Yu Tianheng engraved it on a jade slip and then handed it over to the other party.
Xue Qinghe's slender fingers accepted the ancient jade slip handed to him by Yu Tianheng; its warm touch was tinged with a hint of coolness.
He held his breath and focused his mind, sending a wisp of silvery-white spiritual energy into the jade slip like a gossamer thread. In an instant, a vast amount of information flooded his mind like a tidal wave. Golden words slowly unfolded in his mind, and the cultivation method of the Great Light Sword Scripture was laid out with overwhelming force.
As his understanding of the technique deepened, Xue Qinghe's pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul trembled violently within her body, as if experiencing a long-lost resonance, a holy light flickering around her. Her breathing became rapid, and her heart surged with turbulent waves, "There is actually a cultivation technique in this world that is so perfectly suited to my Martial Soul!"
"If I could have obtained this ' Great Light Sword Scripture ' sooner..." Xue Qinghe clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms, "I would probably have broken through to the Seven-Ring Soul Sage by now!" She suppressed her inner elation, but on the surface she still maintained the elegance of a royal noblewoman. However, the burning light in her eyes revealed her current turbulent state of mind.
Xue Qinghe lightly touched the ancient patterns on the jade slip with her fingertips, a very soft sigh escaping her throat. Then, her wide sleeves fluttered, her moon-white robe sweeping past the tables and chairs. She bowed to Yu Tianheng, the silver tassels of her hair crown swaying gently. "I will remember this opportunity."
Yu Tianheng raised his hand in a gesture of support. "Your Highness, there's no need for such formality."
"We are allies, our fortunes are intertwined. Besides..." He suddenly leaned closer and lowered his voice, "If the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul could obtain this sword manual, it would have a better chance of victory when facing the forces led by the Pope within the Spirit Hall."
"Of course, if Your Highness insists on expressing your gratitude, you only need to ask Xue Ye to find me a rich fiefdom when he bestows a title upon me after I accept the offer at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe nodded. "Don't worry, I can manage this request."
For the next few days, Xue Qinghe stayed inside the carriage, beginning to study and cultivate the " Great Light Sword Scripture ".
In just a few days, she cultivated the " Great Light Sword Scripture " to the fourth level. It has to be said that Qian Renxue's talent for cultivation is truly terrifying. Whether in Martial Soul cultivation or Martial Dao cultivation, she is an extremely rare genius.
Half a month later, the Heaven Dou Empire's participating team finally arrived in Spirit City.
Soon after, the Star Luo Empire's participating teams also arrived in Spirit City.
There are more than thirty in total.
Then, a draw is held to determine the two-on-one matches. Winners advance, and losers are eliminated, until a final champion is chosen.
After several matches.
Four teams made it to the semifinals.
They are the Spirit Hall Academy Team, the Imperial Fighting Team, the Star Luo Royal Academy First Team, and the Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team.
It's worth mentioning that the captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy First Team is the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Weisi, while the captain of the second team is Dai Mubai, who is also a member of the Tang San.
Through his investigation, Yu Tianheng learned that Tang San originally studied at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, but the academy's teaching level was so poor that it was impossible for Tang San to develop his talent.
Left with no other choice, Tang Hao had to reveal himself and personally teach Tang San how to cultivate his martial soul. Later, he brought Tang San to the territory of the Star Luo Empire. By chance, Tang San met Dai Mubai, the second prince of the Star Luo Empire, and they became sworn brothers.
The relationship between the two is roughly similar to that between Yu Tianheng and Xue Qinghe; they are allies.
Dai Mubai was originally no match for his brother Dai Weisi, but with Tang San's help, he has become able to stand on equal footing with Dai Weisi. If he can get support from the Clear Sky Sect, he may very well be able to ascend to the throne.
The four teams then drew lots.
The draw results show that the Spirit Hall Academy Team will face off against the Star Luo Empire Royal Second Team, and the Imperial Fighting Team will face off against the Star Luo Empire Royal First Team.
