BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
99 - Sword Technique

When likened Worldly Cultivation Level to a foundation stage, then Heavenly Cultivation Level was a stage of refinement. It was from here that the cultivation of a cultivator began.

Chu Kai exhaled, the pain that had previously existed now gradually began to disappear. He felt that something inside him had changed, as if his body had been reshaped.

"What... Actually this feeling...?" Chu Kai bathed while watching his two palms. There was a thin wind around his fingers and he could see a silk-thin blue color touching his fingertips.

"I will praise you for this first achievement" Wei Shezi's voice sounded. He said again, "You can now rest or clean yourself up. We'll continue the training tomorrow."

Wei Shezi's sigh rang out as he said, "I actually want you to just go straight to the next stage of training. But being in a hurry to do something is not a good thing, so I'm giving you time to rest."

Wei Shezi's voice grew quieter and slower, as if the woman had already restrained her sleepiness. Chu Kai snorted softly and thought that the reason for giving him time to rest was simply so that Wei Shezi could sleep.

Chu Kai did not make any protest because if you remember carefully, the spirit of the scorpion snake has given him a lot of help so far. Moreover, the last time he remembered, Wei Shezi said that his strength had already drained a lot.

"Are you okay?" Chu Kai opened his voice. He asked, but did not expect to receive an answer.

"........... Mn, I'm just gonna sleep."

"You... Can't appear before me?"

"I ran out of energy, unable to show myself. You don't talk to me anymore,"

"But... What you said back then. Ro-spirit demons?"

"The demon spirit is my source of power. You'll get it later while exploring the ancient tomb, so there's no more conversation."

!!

Chu Kai flinched, he called Wei Shezi a few times and there was no answer. He took a breath and shook his head slowly. His vision now began to focus on the pool in his room now.

Chu Kai decided to quench his thirst first and weigh up whether to undress then get into the pool or use something to rinse his body.

There were no toiletries in this place and it made Chu Kai scratch his non-itchy head. He lowered his hand to get some pool water when something happened.

?!

Having the ability to see the color of Qi, Chu Kai could sense that the water inside this pond was not ordinary water. He frowned and then tried to prove his suspicion.

Chu Kai took off his clothes and then went into the pond. This water felt fresh and sure enough, there was a lot of spiritual energy residing in this pond and it touched his skin, making him even more relaxed.

"What's possible..." Chu Kai blinked. He began to correct his position and then closed his eyes.

The young man who had a lot of scars on his back was practicing the lessons that Wei Shezi had been teaching. He tried to sense the Qi around him and slowly absorbed it into the body to then be controlled. Even little by little, Chu Kai tried to gather the Qi into his dantian.

In another part of the cave, Xia Ling Qing himself began to reach the Celestial Cultivation Level of the body refining stage. He used the spiritual energy he absorbed to strengthen the muscles, bones, and marrow. This level is already included high and is proof that it has advantages.

Xia Ling Qing was actually born with the Fire Phoenix Dantian, but his practice had yet to reach the stage of forming spiritual elements or roots. It could be said that he was strong, but the true ability of his Fire Phoenix Dantian had yet to be seen.

The development to get to that point actually only takes one more step. If Xia Ling Qing managed to make an improvement in the body refining stage, then he would be able to enter the element formation stage. Merely, for a cultivator of Xia Ling Qing's age-this action was still too risky.

The daughter of the Great Elder of the Wushi Mountain Sect knew the limits of her own abilities. Moreover, Xia Ling Qing knew clearly that he would have a hard time making progress when in his body there was still cold poison.

Xia Ling Qing knew very well that this poison antidote was only owned by the Dead Moon Sect. Yet despite having to die horribly, he would never plead to a sect that had already done much damage, even if the sect was his only last resort.

While Xia Ling Qing was still training, a young man was seen walking around in every hallway of this room. The subject of the man was none other than Chu Kai, the man had just finished cleaning himself.

Chu Kai was curious about this cave. There were not many passageways that he saw, but each passageway was a room that seemed to be reserved for the disciples of Wushi Mountain Sect to practice.

Chu Kai went deeper until he arrived at a room wider than any room he had ever seen. In the room there is a waterfall pool and there are traces of sword incisions on the floor and cave walls.

"Someone... Likely to have practiced swords in this place," Chu Kai muttered as his hand began to stretch out against the wall that had many of the incision marks.

Chu Kai felt that the depth of each sword's mark was different. It raised suspicions that someone who practiced sword fighting in this place was not just one person and somehow simultaneously with it... He heard Wei Shezi's voice.

"You invented a sword technique,"

!!

"You're not sleeping?" Chu Kai asked. He was quite jolted because Wei Shezi spoke so suddenly.

"I took a short break and it was kind of annoying because you didn't seem to know anything about the marks on that wall,"

"That's because all I saw was a haphazard incision as if someone was venting his anger with an inanimate object,"

"Geez, you suck at it." Wei Shezi sighed, he said. "What you're seeing right now is a sword technique. The varying depths explain that it is done repeatedly,"

Wei Shezi continued, "Use your Qi and pour a little into that wall."

"Like this?" Chu Kai already knew how to control Qi so that he could easily drain Qi into his palm and was young enough to take it out.

That blue-colored Qi spread to the wall with great pressure and made Chu Kai startled. The green-eyed young man then pulled his hand back because he felt that he had made a mistake.

"I-I just drained it a little bit. Why is it like this?!" Chu Kai was shocked to see the incision marks on the wall begin to glow bluish as if filled with Qi. Now incisions of the same thickness became apparent in his vision.

"This sword technique..." Chu Kai took a breath. He was about to open his voice when he heard Wei Shezi snort.

"I think you're thinking about it. Sure oes. You can learn it,"

"Really? But how is it going?" Chu Kai watched carefully and still did not understand where he should start and what movements could create such incision marks.

"I'll show you the simulation" Wei Shezi said. "Dilute the Qi in your palm and take it out. I'll borrow your spiritual energy for a second,"

Chu Kai did as he was told and he widened his eyes when he saw the blue-colored Qi gathered not far before him. That energy formed a human-like body and began to make sword movements.

"Wei Shezi, how-how can you do this?!" Chu Kai did not know what to say other than the shock he saw.

"There's a lot I can do, but I certainly won't show you everything. You might die from shock," Wei Shezi said, "Now you practice by looking at the subject technique before you."

Chu Kai noticed Wei Shezi's human-shaped creation, but the blue color was accompanied by a sword that was similar in color and unable to speak. The figure was just moving, practicing the sword technique that was on the cave wall.

Chu Kai also took out his sword, it was the Dragon Swordsman Sword and initially he had difficulty following this subject in front of him. chu Kai was repeatedly wrong to slowly start memorizing every movement of the sword technique even though it took a long time.

Chu Kai continued to practice and without knowing that the sword technique he learned was the Nine Deadly Movements. This technique was considered a forbidden technique because it was too dangerous. Even in the past this technique was capable of killing hundreds of lives and was the dark history of the Wushi Mountain Sect.
