The Flaming Saber was indeed a very ordinary saber technique in the cultivation world.
It was a Second Stage technique—that is to say, a First Stage cultivator would be unable to use it as he or she pleased. Even if they learned how to activate it, upon execution, flames would not appear on their saber.
Only after the qi and blood energy within their bodies transformed to true qi would they be able to use the ‘Flaming Saber’ technique, channeling their true qi to create flames.
The flames that burn on the saber would be able to increase its destructive power, just like when Song Shuhang used the ‘Flaming Saber’ to create a crescent-shaped Flaming Saber qi earlier.
Its power was rather formidable for close combat, yet at the same time, it was capable of impressive long-range attacks as well. Amongst the staple cultivation saber techniques, it could be considered a rather decent technique.
