The Essence Of The 99 Heavenly Swords Technique

"Once you succeed in condensing the essence of the Way of the Sword and mold the intention of it to your favor, you will be able to form the True Heavenly Sword where your power is not needed, but will be formed from the power of the world itself..."

Among the clouds in the sky, a shuttle flew swiftly in one direction, passing by some places where none could notice it. The direction they were heading to was the imperial capital!

Ling Tian calmly explained as he waved his hand to the side and faintly parted the sea of clouds in such a direction, instantly stunning his listeners. Both Shin Wei and Xuanyuan Ling were paying attention to Ling Tian. Li Fengyuan did not take her eyes off Ling Tian and her ears were only catching his voice, meticulously recording every word that came out of his mouth.

"My brothers and sisters we had the slight feeling that there would be one more step that perhaps you had not told us, Master. Try as we might we didn't really get a good grasp of those steps and we always came to a kind of bottleneck. Although we did somehow manage to use the technique in our spirit sense to attack, I never imagined that it would actually be three more steps in this sword technique!" Shin Wei sighed and smiled wryly, thinking about Ling Tian's words and especially the scenes where he showed them the last mysterious three steps of the 99 Heavenly Swords Technique where they all thought they had completely mastered it.

"When I taught you the technique I didn't know about those three steps likewise, as well as I only had that slight hunch that there might be one more skill in this technique, which I discovered and developed later." Ling Tian smiled and shook his head calmly. But still, his gaze on Shin Wei was full of approval and pride as he saw more and more how much this little boy who often followed him in the past and always asked him when wanting to learn had grown.

But in spite of that, Ling Tian knew that both Shin Wei and his martial brothers and sisters would succeed in learning and developing the last three steps of the Heavenly Sword technique just like him. It was only a matter of a little more time and understanding.

"Grandmaster, before breaking through and raising my cultivation base I could achieve the Third Strike of the technique, forming 30 Heavenly Swords without a problem..." Xuanyuan Ling replied almost at once. After this session with Ling Tian, she had cleared up many doubts she had both in her ability to perform the technique and so on in general as well as thoughts about her cultivation.

"Then you can start practicing the Fourth Strike without any problem." Ling Tian nodded with a smile, nodding inwardly at Xuanyuan Ling's ability and intelligence to grasp things quickly and be able to carry them out.

The 99 Heavenly Swords technique was not an easy technique to comprehend, let alone master. It required profound capability and ability to be able to carry it out to its last steps.

"Master, that 99 Heavenly Swords technique is a high-grade technique?"

At once, Li Fengyuan's excited voice was heard, looking at Ling Tian with surprise in her eyes. She had a hunch that this sword technique they were talking about was a high-grade one.

"It's an extreme tier technique."

Before Ling Tian could speak, Xuanyuan Ling's voice was heard, startling him a little. Ling Tian couldn't help but smile slightly with amusement before nodding at Li Fengyuan's words.

Xuanyuan Ling seemed to have an imperceptible look of superiority and pride upon seeing Li Fengyuan as she said about the level of the technique with a slight provocative smile, as if she was proud to show her how great the technique was and that she did know it and Li Fengyuan did not.

Li Fengyuan blinked in surprise as she realized that this technique is of a higher level, much more powerful than a top level! However, Li Fengyuan noticed the feelings in her eyes before narrowing her eyes and seeming to return Xuanyuan Ling's look of rivalry and struggle.

Ling Tian and Shin Wei were dumbfounded as they witnessed the strange atmosphere between Xuanyuan Ling and Li Fengyuan.

"I want you to understand the essence of the sword a bit before I teach it to you, since if I give it to you now it might mess up your ability a bit. This sword technique is an extreme grade skill, even it wouldn't be any less weak than a low rank immortal technique..."

Ling Tian slightly cleared his throat, interrupting the strange atmosphere between the two women. He could see that Li Fengyuan was in awe and she wanted to learn this sword technique when he talked to his disciples about their doubts; Ling Tian planned to teach Li Fengyuan the technique as well.

"Low level immortal technique?"

Li Fengyuan heard Ling Tian's words and was stunned, leaving Xuanyuan Ling's gaze aside.

"Immortal grade techniques? You mean that which enters immortality? There really is such a thing as the legendary Immortal World?" Li Fengyuan murmured in disbelief as she understood Ling Tian's words, faintly thinking that he might be bragging if she didn't know his personality.

"The Immortal World exists. If you manage to enter the Way of the Sword before the Great Ascension state, you will be able to ascend and experience that realm." Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile, wanting to urge Li Fengyuan to have higher goals and objectives and not just limit herself to the Cultivation World. He would take her to the Immortal Realm without a doubt.

"Before the Great Ascension realm?!" Li Fengyuan's thin and beautiful eyelashes trembled as she comprehended the unimaginable goal Ling Tian had told her, wanting her to achieve the Way of the Sword before becoming an expert in the Great Ascension realm!

But Li Fengyuan did not hesitate and nodded earnestly, believing Ling Tian's words. Although she was still slightly doubtful about the legendary and almost mythological Immortal World that was every cultivator's dream and goal, Li Fengyuan decided to believe Ling Tian.

After all, she had plenty of time to make it. It wasn't as easy to rise realm levels as it was to breathe easy...

"Master, will it be possible that you can teach us the True Heavenly Sword again like that time?"

At once, Shin Wei's expectant and excited voice was heard, looking at Ling Tian as if pleading with his eyes. His excited expression surprised both Xuanyuan Ling and Li Fengyuan. Xuanyuan Ling quickly understood and Li Fengyuan thought that it should be something surprising.

"That sword that slashed the sky, mountains and rivers that time?" Li Fengyuan quickly asked, referring to when Ling Tian confronted the Ji family member's soul descent and destroyed almost the entire Ronchen City.

"Master is referring to another different type of sword that Grandmaster demonstrated in the past and defeated powerful experts." Xuanyuan Ling again replied with a faint smile, surprising Li Fengyuan to think that Ling Tian might have another technique just as powerful as the one he showed a few days ago.

"Ling'er is right. That sword I showed is the Void Sword that I can control, while Little Wei is referring to the essence of the 99 Heavenly Swords technique." Ling Tian explained.

"Besides, I don't think we will wait for a long time..."

Ling Tian suddenly lifted the corner of his mouth slightly as he averted his gaze to the side, looking in a specific direction.

"Mmh?"

The three of them noticed Ling Tian's expression and their spirit senses soon sensed the presence of several spirit senses heading their way, blatantly scanning the shuttle they were on.

A huge city soon came into view, as several men flying through the skies surrounded the shuttle, exerting powerful coercions on Ling Tian and the others.

"Looks like we've arrived..." Shin Wei raised his eyebrow slightly at the sight of the city, feeling the pressures of the enemies' spirit senses like gentle breezes blowing his body. Xuanyuan Ling also casually looked at the place and the people, not taking the coercion on her body seriously.

In contrast, Li Fengyuan gritted her teeth when she felt heavy plates fall on her, making it difficult to even breathe. She tried to expel her own aura to ease the coercion on her, cutting it with a kind of sharp aura quickly, barely being able to breathe with some difficulty.

However, the next moment, the coercion disappeared from her body and she was able to breathe easy when she felt a warm and gentle hand land on her shoulder. Li Fengyuan blinked and turned to look gratefully at Ling Tian who had helped her.

"Stop right there! It is forbidden to fly over the imperial capital!"

A heavy and angry voice was heard at once, finally with more than 10 people flying around the flying shuttle.
