17 Sword Cultivation Part 1

The tall man had bright black crystals eyes. His hair was long and shiny. He was slender and his face was extremely pale. He was wearing a blue and white dress. It was a shirt and pants. When he looked down, he saw Qin standing with a stunned expression.

For a moment, his eyes shrunk as well. Then, he looked at Claire behind him. When he saw her, a smile appeared on his lips. Then, he gazed back to Qin and spoke "So, it's you."

When Qin heard that, his eyes narrowed. He pointed at himself and asked, "You know me?"

"Time hasn't come! Well, you are very weak now." Saying so, he floated near Qin and the sword suddenly escaped from Qin's hands.

"What do you mean? Are you related to me?" Qin didn't care about the sword. He was only excited about learning about himself.

"Yes, but not in a way you think! This sword has followed me all the way to the top. But now, for me, everything is a sword. It's not that I don't need it rather I think someone else needs this more than me. And, it is a good thing that you have found it."

"This sword will show you the path to the top. For you, I have sealed this sword's powers so that you can use it without using her powers. But, don't overly rely on this sword. Improve your sword cultivation. Originally, it wasn't supposed to be you."

"But, something has changed and now you are here. So, you can read that book." After that, he returned the sword to Qin and turned his head at Claire.

"We brought him here but he couldn't sense you. It has been a long time. I hope you can find the clues he has left in this world. And, once you are healed." Suddenly, that man's eyes turned serious as he continued "Leave his body!"

When she heard those words, she felt slight killing intent. She felt she could die any moment if it wasn't for him. When she heard about him, her heartbeat increased rapidly. But everything disappeared as soon as that killing intent appeared.

After that, he turned his eyes back at Qin and all of his killing intent disappeared as if it was never there. He smiled and said "Don't call for others to help! Only if you rely on yourself, you can surpass most."

As he said that, the body slowly disappeared. Qin raised his hand but held back the question when he saw a gentle smile on that face. He couldn't help but feel empty. He doesn't know why but he feels that he knows this man.

'Are you two still alive? Can I find you and learn the whole truth?' Qin asks himself as he looked at the ceiling. His heart was crying but he didn't hate them. Yes, his life has been miserable but still better than some.

He is just satisfied that he lived. Because if he lives, he can take revenge. As soon as the revenge came to his mind, his heart was filled with hatred. He didn't hate his original parents but the person who killed his godfather and godmother is his mortal enemy.

Behind him, Claire touched his back once again but this time he lost his consciousness. At this moment, the black gas came out of his body and transformed into his original devil form.

"What do you want?" His voice was hoarse. He was irritated when he got called by her.

"Who is this boy? Why does that man want to kill me but not you? I am not harming him." Claire spoke as she looked at Qin. It has only been two days and she has already felt mysterious about Qin.

"Your excellence is a universal spirit. But, you are not strong enough to know anything about him. If you learn during his journey, then there is nothing I can do. But, once your injuries are healed, please leave this body."

"You already have someone. As for a mentor, he doesn't need you. As for dual cultivation, he will learn on his own. You have no reasons to stay here. You should be grateful that you are related to someone he knows otherwise he would've slaughtered you."

After saying so, the devil returned back to the body, leaving Claire in a big mess. She felt she has stepped on something she shouldn't have. Normally, a universal spirit is respected everywhere but why does it feel like she was like an ant in front of the people related to Qin.

"Is universal spirit great?" Suddenly, a mocking tone rang from Qin's body. Claire clenched her hand. She felt humiliated at this moment but she didn't dare to say anything. She found although these people are strong, they aren't helping Qin directly.

It feels like Qin's parents were stocking him. Of course, this was only feeling. She didn't dare to confirm it.

She silently woke him up and returned back to his body. The sadness on her face was overwhelming but she didn't dare to show it.

After she returned back, Qin's consciousness returned. He was startled at first but when he felt this wasn't the first time, he sighed. He found his body has a lot of secrets. And now, he believes that they are willing to tell him once he gets stronger. And, until he gets stronger, it won't happen.

So, his first priority is to get stronger. And to get stronger, he must train. After that, he went near the book and picked it up. The book was nearly two hundred pages thick. The cover on the top was hard as well.

Supreme Way of Sword!

When he read those words, his eyes sparkled. He took a deep breath and opened the first page. He thought there would be some restrictions but there were none. On the top of the page, there was a title.

Sword Energy!

It was energy formed out of sword belief and qi. To establish a connection with the sword, one must have a certain belief in his sword. Qin didn't know what his belief was. It could be revenge but he didn't think his sword belief would be so small.

Then, he thought more and established himself into the sword realms. After all, he didn't know what his sword belief was. And, it's not like he can create the sword belief instantly. He must think more about this but he wasn't sure which path to choose.

So, he decided to learn more about the Sword Realm. It was explained just below the Sword Energy description. After all, there weren't many things that were related to the sword energy.

Sword Realms were divided into three realms- Common Sword Realm, True Sword Realm, and Mortal Sword Realm.

Common Sword Realm had four stages. They were Sword Energy Realm, Sword Heart Realm, Sword Seed Realm, and Sword Intent Realm.

True Sword Realm had five stages. They were One with Sword Realm, All things into Sword Realm, Sword Domain Realm, Sword Soul Realm, and finally Sword Law Realm.

Mortal Sword Realm had four stages. They were Virtual Sword Realm, Real Sword Realm, Ordinary Sword Realm, and finally Mortal Sword Realm.

In Sword Energy Realm, one condenses Sword Energy by combining his sword belief with qi. In Sword Heart Realm, a person condenses nine sword meridians to his heart using the sword energy. After that, a swordsman uses the sword energy to condense a sword seed in his heart.

Normally, sword energy can't enter the heart directly since it could damage the heart but once the sword meridians are formed, they allow the sword energy to enter the heart at a rate where the heart can adjust itself to it.

Finally, it was Sword Intent Realm. This realm was the hardest. Because, to form the sword intent, one must convert sword belief into sword spirit then combine sword spirit with qi. Sword Spirit is the energy generated by a swordsman after using a certain sword technique for a long time.

If a person trains the Fire Sword Technique, then he has a high probability of cultivating Fire Sword Intent. If it is a basic sword technique, then it normally forms a sword intent without the attribute. The biggest advantage of this technique is you can adopt any attribute you want.

Once a person condenses the sword intent, he becomes closer with the sword. But, it still takes a long time to reach One with Sword Realm. This is called True Sword Realm for a reason. Because once a person reaches this realm, he can basically use any sword and turn it into his own weapon unless its previous user has also reached True Sword Realm.

All things into Sword Realm allows a person to turn anything into a sword. Of course, it doesn't mean something like transformation rather use anything like a sword. Even a branch would be able to stab the person or slash the world.

Next is Sword Domain Realm. Here, a person can literally transform everything into a sword. Most of the time, it generally means transforming the qi into a sword to form a domain. Inside this domain, he can even turn an opponent's heart into a sword if an opponent is too weak.

Then, it is Sword Soul Realm.
