Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Library of the Heavenly Palace, Basic Sword Technique II
After discovering the usefulness of Natural Energy, Qing Shui was filled with hope and confidence for his future. After all, it is one of the most special and powerful “ Soul” Gods in Heaven and Earth.
Qing Shui continued to practice a few rounds of Tai Chi in the square before slowly going towards the top of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall mountain. He decided to take a look at the Library of the Heavenly Palace at the highest peak of Lingxiao Treasure Hall, which had the strictest security at the Heavenly Palace Mountain.
The match yesterday made Qing Shui's name known to everyone in the Heaven Palace. Although the majority had yet to see Qing Shui, they knew he was a strong martial arts practitioner, someone with foresight, who was decisive, merciless and kept his promise. Many were curious as to who the most outstanding young disciple of the Starmoon Hall had risen like a comet. His appearance yesterday posed a great threat to the Disciple Elders in the other halls.
Many started to worry and others with the desire to ignite the matter focused their attention on Qing Shui; he could become the biggest dark horse to ever appear in the Heavenly Palace Disciple Competition next year.
Compared to the other halls, Starmoon Hall was the happiest. It was very interesting to finally take off the pinned hat for a long time. Now, many would come to Starmoon in hopes of seeing the man named Qing Shui.
However, Qing Shui would usually appear outside only during the morning training, then there were some who managed to find him. Only the people from Starmoon Hall could see him because they knew his habits and that/that he could only be seen in the morning in the square.
Very quickly Qing Shui arrived at Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Every time Qing Shui saw those four words, there would be a mysterious power within him, probably influenced by the subconscious feelings in his heart. Passing through the main hall of Lingxiao Treasure Hall and walking across the square, Qing Shui thought, this is the first time he has left Starmoon Hall after so long in the Heaven Palace.
The square in Lingxiao Treasure Hall was larger than Starmoon Hall, especially the biggest battle stage in the middle of the square. It was fifty meters long, and was reinforced as high as five meters, by hundreds of enormous special stone pillars.
Although the square was crowded, with many women in colorful clothes forming a captivating scene with their elegance and elegance, Qing Shui meandered through the crowd at an unchanging speed.
As Qing Shui passed through several mountain rocks and followed a mountain path that was not wide but meandering and undulating, there was no sight of anyone else as this was an important limited area in the Heavenly Palace.
Other than a certain time, most people were forbidden from entering. After walking a short distance away, Qing Shui saw a small pavilion on the side of the road where two old men were drinking tea and playing chess.
One look and Qing Shui knew the two old men must be at the level of a Heavenly Great Elder. The old air was like those prominent monks, the absence of any desire smelled extremely strong, and most importantly, Qing Shui was still unable to detect their cultivation.
The old man who was facing Qing Shui looked up at him subconsciously, and continued with his tea as if nothing had happened, the white chess piece in his right hand was placed without rest in rhythm.
The instantaneous eye contact between Qing Shui and the old man gave the former a strange sensation, as if he was stark naked standing before him. His gaze was calm and kind-hearted, but the old atmosphere around him gave Qing Shui a nervousness.
How many old men were there in the Heavenly Palace? Every one of them existed like monsters, how many of them were in aristocratic families or sects like the Greencloud Continent, and for what reason and treatment they remained in the Heavenly Palace, in that aristocratic family?
Qing Shui passed through smoothly. He knew the old man had noticed him, and the gaze really meant that/it man had found his Sky Palace Token, but Qing Shui detected the intensity from his sight, something he couldn't understand.
” Old Hu, how's the kid who just passed by? ” The white-haired, non-bearded old man who saw Qing Shui just asked casually.
”Willing’You already have an answer?’ ‘A white-haired elder equals a long and snowy beard laughed while lowering his head. .
’’ Sharp child. Despite its potential of ‘buried’, the fire will explode into the sky when it finally explodes. Wondering if he would bring good luck or misfortune to the Heavenly Palace, ’’The first old man started with laughter, and with a drop of white chess pieces, he said, it blocked the attack of the man called Old Hu.
’’ Haha, I can feel that inside the child's body. There is already the purest Natural Energy in heaven and earth, so we need not worry. Moreover, this child gave the impression that his/her future would not be smooth, but definitely unobstructed; we just need to know if our days in the Heavenly Palace will increase due to his existence. ’
Qing Shui had already stepped on the sloping stone stairs, slowly moving up. Back then, it felt like stepping to a certain height, the country and the feeling of being unseen once again created a subtle change in its originally cool state of ” Ungovernable Mountains ”.
He then felt a little thin, slightly out of this world. It was a state in his heart, as if his soul was cleansed in that instant. Qing Shui turned around and found that/that he had walked on the stone steps, and felt unbelievable.
Qing Shui did not take the magical feeling into his heart. Upon arriving at the top of the mountain, Qing Shui realized that/it was almost no one here, and no one checked, just a huge stone tower in the distance. It is only two floors high, and simple words are gray ’’ Li-bra-ry ’on it is clear but not eye-pointing.
At the entrance, there were two more old men. This time, Qing Shui issued a token that “’ ⁇ ’” was sculpted before entering. The stone tower only consisted of two floors, and another one went straight towards the second floor after entering the first one. The interior is spacious and looks very different from the exterior.
After confirming his identity once again, Qing Shui fell down. The library was filled with books, although not all of them were about martial arts. The more powerful the sect was, the more complex the library, with almost all kinds of books. It was the small sects and libraries of aristocratic families filled almost with secret martial arts manuals.
The library had a total of nine floors, the bottom three were not open to the public, and even the Sect Leader was not allowed because the Supreme Elder had set a prohibition order for no one to enter.
The three levels of martial arts were all techniques from the nine halls in the Heavenly Palace, while the first three floors were open to a few disciples from all the halls for three consecutive days. Entering level 3 to 6 will require a Library Token.
Qing Shui looked at the manuals in the first three levels as there were only martial arts manuals there, and most of them were Xiantian Yellow to Deepound Grade techniques. He realized most of those techniques were Qi cultivation attacks and techniques.
[Hundred Battles Blade] Xiantian Technique Yellow Grade, [Mountain Hacking Technique], [Solitary Qi], [Bronze Fist], [Basic Sword Techniques] .. ” Mm, Basic Sword Technique? ” Qing Shui noticed the familiar technique and felt elated, and he could not help but look.
Turning to the courtyard, Qing Shui knew. [Basic Sword Technique – Intermediate] written on it. Qing Shui understood after seeing it. This cultivation was a higher level than the Basic Sword Technique he had obtained previously. It wrote about the reconciliation between the Basic Sword Technique and the Power of the Sword. The only thing Qing Shui didn't expect was that/it's such a simple reconciliation would really be a Xiantian battle technique.
Even if it was the weakest Xiantian fighting technique, Qing Shui found it unbelievable. On the mainland, the Basic Sword Technique was only used as a starter for cultivation, trash techniques and the most basic fighting techniques. To make it sound even more depressing, it was just a frame and was not used against the opponent.
Even now, Qing Shui knew that/it was this reconciled fighting technique still seen by the majority as a low-level fighting technique. Moreover, this was the weakest technique in the Heaven Palace, so no one was interested just by looking at the name of the technique.
Looking at the rich inner secrets of the sect passed down for tens of thousands of years, the XIantian technique was the weakest, and Qing Shui had seen that/it was almost all Xiantian technique. This did not mean that/it Heavenly Palace did not have any lesser techniques than Xiantian, although higher level skills became the biggest part of what had been gathered over these years.
For anyone, a higher level technique does not mean that/it is better. Unless one was able to master it, a higher and more suitable level, it would be better. However, if one did not understand it or he was able to master it, a high-level technique would become futile. Thus, although the Library was open to all Heavenly Palace disciples, not all would be able to master the skills available.
There were quite a few people in the Library, although most of them were young people. Many of them walked through here to get to the lower floors, and Qing Shui guessed, like him, they must have gotten their senior tokens.
Books from the Library are not allowed to be taken out, and are only allowed to be read here. One could copy notes from books, but no one was allowed to give them to people outside of the Heavenly Palace.
Qing Shui secretly read [Intermediate – Basic Sword Technique], which consisted of only a few pages. He realized that/it was easy for him to understand. This combination was the most direct and concise killing method, and only people like Qing Shui, had reached the Universe by practicing the Basic Sword Technique hundreds of times, and only people like Qing Shui, had reached the Universe, will find the advantages of an amazing and straightforward combination.
For example, a combination of Stabbing and Pointing. Pointing, Qing Shui had his own Pointing method, but he only really understood after reading [Secondary – Basic Sword Technique] – what is easiest, fastest, what it means perfect, what is perfect, what does it mean for a person to transcend nature by using his skills. Simple perfection and the most direct method are usually the most effective.
Only maniacs like Qing Shui had trained their Basic Sword Techniques until the Universe would experience the profoundness within; others would simply imitate the form and be unaware of the essence of the Basic Sword Technique. Just like the stone tablet, only Qing Shui, and those who studied the Nine Mimicry Beasts, could quickly experience an inner state.
This is not to say that/it others will not experience it, but the time it takes will greatly increase. Even time may not help, because perception, insight, and awareness are needed.
Perhaps because Qing Shui had practiced the Basic Sword Technique to the highest mastery and prowess, he was able to quickly grasp the pages of dozens of combinations and ingenious techniques. The only component lacking is practical training.
Qing Shui read it once more and carved it into his mind. After learning that/that level 1 was the main technique and martial art, he moved on and down. The 2nd and 3rd were the same, with only a slight increase in the level of techniques, and an increase in the number of Xiantian Profound Class techniques.
It was a pity that Qing Shui wasn't interested in it, and as he prepared to get down after doing a one-time scan, he noticed that/that the people below appeared one after another, after another, and many of them were young and middle-aged people.
” Time out, come again tomorrow! ’’An old man on level 3 smiled at Qing Shui.
Qing Shui was surprised. That can't be true. He only came for a short time and only read [Basic Sword Technique – Intermediate]. He still smiled warmly at the old man and went upstairs.
When the Library was built underground, the interior was filled with hanging Light Stones, and one would never know the time during the day!
Out of the tower, Qing Shui saw that/it the sky had darkened, and realized that/that he had actually spent the day completing the [Elementary – Intermediate Sword Technique]. He laughed and left, however it was a good thing.
