Chapter 36 The Willow God Transmits the Law
Chapter 36 The Willow God Transmits the Law
A simple sheet of paper, silvery-white, with the clanging sound of a sword piercing the soul and compelling the spirit.
It is not the sword itself, but merely a vessel for recording sword techniques.
The silvery-white paper hung silently in mid-air, flowing with silver light, like a galaxy formed from the Milky Way, adorned with intricate and complex bone script.
Shi Zhao approached, put away the tattered cloth, and looked at the sword energy sealed on the back with great joy. This was very likely a method left behind by an ancient supreme being.
Even if it's just something left unintentionally, or something accumulated from the sword technique itself, the remaining sword energy is enough to easily annihilate the so-called gods.
This is a powerful weapon that can be unleashed without any cost.
As a trump card, it can turn the tide of battle at crucial moments. With this, one can be more confident when going out on ordinary days, and in this lower realm, one can kill gods and Buddhas if they are in the way.
She then took the silver-white metal paper that contained the sword technique of the grass character into her hand.
"Throughout history, there have been three great sword techniques in the world, representing the ultimate in offense and defense." The girl's eyes shone brightly. "The Grass Character Sword Technique, the Calamity-Suppressing Sword Technique, and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique."
There seems to be some unknown connection between the three sword techniques.
The Grass-Character Sword Technique is invincible; it cuts through matter as easily and simply as a divine weapon slicing through mud.
Its cultivation method uses forged materials as the sword embryo, or even the arms and finger bones, making it indestructible.
The "Pacifying Chaos Technique," also known as the "Primordial Spirit Sword Technique," is completely different from the "Grass Character Sword Technique." It forges the primordial spirit into a sword embryo, and when the sword is unleashed, its speed surpasses that of thought and senses.
It is both a supreme sword technique that can sever a person's soul and a supreme secret method for forging one's primordial spirit.
As for the Immortal Tribulation Sword Technique, Shi Zhao also had some guesses. Since the Grass Character Sword Technique and the Peaceful Chaos Technique correspond to the form and spirit of the sword path respectively, the last remaining sword technique is very likely to correspond to the so-called "intention," which can cultivate an unparalleled sword intent.
The complete supreme way of the sword lies in the combination of form, spirit, and intent!
"It's going to be hard to collect them all." The girl sighed, but she still harbored great ambitions.
Previously, she had focused on cultivation, and having already obtained the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique and several pure blood treasure techniques, she had no time to be distracted, so she temporarily put aside the Grass Character Sword Technique.
Now that his cultivation has achieved some success and he has opened up ten grotto-heavens, it is unrealistic to merge them into one in a short period of time. He needs to do more consideration and preparation before taking out the sword manual.
In the days that followed, Shi Zhao traveled through the shattered wilderness, trying to comprehend the sword technique with great care and serious study.
This is the first of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques she has obtained, and it represents the ultimate in offensive power, so it is naturally worth devoting all her efforts to comprehending it.
Ten days later, the sword energy soared into the sky, and nine leaves were born on its body.
Those were silver blades of grass, long and slender like swords, swaying gently as if they were about to cleave the sky.
With a flick of her finger, a sword beam instantly shot out, so sharp that it plowed a deep crack in the earth.
Without a doubt, her combat power has been greatly enhanced.
"If we use the Grass Sword Technique as our weapon and then unleash the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art to deliver an unparalleled strike, what kind of effect would that have? And what would it be like if we gathered all six of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques?" Shi Zhao shook his head; the image was too beautiful to contemplate.
Leaving aside the Ten Ferocious Treasures Techniques, even the pure-blooded ferocious beast divine abilities she currently possesses, if combined, would have unimaginable power.
An ordinary cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm would probably be easily smashed into pieces.
The next moment, Shi Zhao moved, using the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Technique to control the operation of the six great treasures.
As you can see, five ferocious beasts—the Five-Colored Peacock, the Golden-Winged Roc, the Bixie, the Suanni, and the Zhenhou—emerge from her body, along with the newly mastered Grass-Character Sword Technique.
Before the slender, delicate hand could even strike, the surrounding rocks shattered into pieces, turning into dust.
A blazing divine light bloomed, and when everything returned to calm, the shattered forest disappeared, leaving only an empty basin with scattered ashes.
"Goddess Liu, save me!"
At the entrance of Shicun Village, a young girl stood with a mournful face, her large eyes brimming with tears, on the verge of sobbing.
Her left sleeve ripped open, revealing her entire arm covered in cracks and blood, as if she had been cut by countless swords and blades, and also bearing several strange, persistent marks.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Xiao Shihao was shocked when he saw this.
"There was a slight mishap during my cultivation." Shi Zhao gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat frustrated. He hadn't expected that even without selecting all the pure blood treasure techniques, he would still be injured.
"Sister, are you still in pain?" Little Shi Hao noticed his sister's distress and, after holding back for a while, managed to squeeze out this question with concern, which almost made Shi Zhao laugh in exasperation.
So this kid's intelligence really is all focused on cultivation and combat.
"I'm fine, sweetie, go cultivate first," she said helplessly.
"What amazing sword energy!"
Sensing the willow's presence, the spirit stretched out tender branches, which gradually emitted a green glow.
On the branch, a drop of crystal-clear sap appeared, like a dewdrop, radiating a rosy glow and exuding a sweet fragrance, which made Shi Zhao feel refreshed.
A tender branch drooped down, gently brushing against her left arm, and the hideous scars quickly disappeared. Then, the willow branch swayed gently, and another drop of sap appeared, rolling among the tender buds, restoring the girl's fair skin.
"I never expected that someone with your level of cultivation could actually unleash such a heavenly technique." Liu Shen had already guessed what had happened and was somewhat surprised.
"Your cultivation is still shallow, so don't use that Heavenly Technique for now, otherwise you'll injure yourself before you even kill the enemy," He advised.
Shi Zhao nodded, his big eyes darting around, and he took out a piece of silver paper as if presenting a treasure.
"Willow Goddess, as your most loyal follower, I wish to exchange this sword technique for your precious art, so that I will no longer have to worry about getting injured."
This is a lie!
She was neither a believer nor a faithful person.
Even if she didn't say anything now and didn't exchange the Grass Sword Technique for it, Willow Goddess would likely still teach her the great technique in the future, but she wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to build a relationship.
Have you been frantically trying to increase your favorability with the ancestral spirit?
Unfortunately, Liu Shen seemed to see through her intentions at a glance.
However, He didn't care.
In fact, Shi Zhao knew that Liu Shen could see through it, but the important thing was that her intentions were there.
"It's this sword technique!" The Willow God was greatly shocked after rolling up the silver paper with a branch. He never expected it to be a sword technique with the character "草" (grass). Even He wanted to obtain this sword technique.
"Come here, I will pass on my precious technique to you," said Willow God.
Shi Zhao stepped forward and gently touched her brow with a willow branch, transmitting a precious technique.
"Huh?!" But then, her eyes widened.
Why is this magical technique so different from what I imagined?
No, where is my Willow God Technique? How did it turn into some kind of ritual dance?
"As my most faithful follower, I will pass on this method to you, which you can use to summon me." Even in Willow God's usually calm and collected voice, there was a hint of mockery.
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Shi Zhao: "..."
She was too young and careless, not expecting that the Willow God knew that she wouldn't care about her deliberate actions.
"Don't bite off more than you can chew. You already have enough precious techniques. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Now you should focus on breaking your limits and improving your realm."
"As for my method, it is impossible for someone of such low level to cultivate it. When the time comes, I will teach it to you. There is no need to rush. Just calm down."
Shi Zhao was enlightened, and his mind returned to clarity.
