r. Some temples on the mountain have already started doing this. Master said we don't demand merit, but we should do good deeds."Qin Sang chose the house in the northeast corner. Inside, dust covered...Qin Sang flipped to the end of the genealogy, but he couldn't find a single Foundation Establishment cultivator. The highest realm belonged to Song Yeye's generation, a man named Song Yi who only cultivated to the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Period. After an outing, he disappeared without a trace.

The sword intent of Shaohua Mountain is very likely still lying in the grave of the Song clan's ancestor!

Qin Sang's fingers tightened around the Song family genealogy, his eyes flickering uncertainly. Although he didn't know much about the cultivation world, the benefits of joining a sect were obvious.

Just like the shopkeeper next to the Divine Artifact Pavilion, one could hear the envy of the casual cultivators towards the disciples of the sects from their every word and gesture.

But Song Hua had saved his life after all. Whether intentional or not, Qin Sang had to reciprocate the kindness. He never claimed to be a good person, nor would he actively harm someone who had saved his life.

Moreover, Shaohua Mountain is the main branch of the righteous path. If he truly has no spiritual roots, even if he obtains the Sword Intent Decree, it would be useless, wouldn't it

Qin Sang let out a light sigh, put down the Song family genealogy, and picked up another nameless book. At the same time, she also took out the ebony sword hidden in her chest.

The nameless book is actually the Song family sword technique, and it's also the sword technique that activates the ebony sword!

The so-called Song Family Sword Manual was actually a modification of the 少華山's sword-wielding technique by the ancestor of the Song family.

After cultivating the sword manual, one can use their divine sense to control the sword, entering and exiting Qingming at will. With a thought, the sword light sweeps across the sky, dancing like a startled phoenix, as agile as a swimming dragon, vanishing and reappearing in a flash, killing enemies thousands of miles away.

When swordsmanship is cultivated to a certain level, one can transform sword energy into rainbows and make swords fly. Their divine power is vast, leaving people in awe and wonder.

Qin Sang had long coveted the ability to fly with his sword. The basic incantations in the Netherworld Sutra, such as Wind-Striding Technique, only enhanced his body's speed, and the Void-Floating Art allowed him to hover for a short time but couldn't allow him to fly freely.

Qin Sang was unable to activate the Ebony Sword because he lacked this sword manual.

According to the Song family genealogy, the fourth-generation ancestor of the Song family once obtained a fragment of a flying sword magic weapon while exploring the cave dwelling left by an ancient cultivator.

Though it is a fragment, its essence remains that of a sacred treasure.

Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage can refine magic treasures. Each magic treasure is crafted from extremely precious spiritual materials, painstakingly refined day and night by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Their power is terrifying, even the finest artifacts are inferior to them.

That ancestor of the Song family was overjoyed after obtaining the fragment of the flying sword. He spared no expense, spending his entire fortune to hire a renowned master blacksmith from the market to forge the fragment into this ebony sword.

Therefore, the Wumu Sword is like a magic treasure but not quite. It differs greatly from ordinary magical artifacts because it's essentially a fragment of a powerful magic treasure. It's far harder and sharper than common spirit swords or magical weapons, and it can only be activated with sword techniques.

But the drawbacks are also very obvious. The consumption of Wumu Sword is too great, and only cultivators in the Foundation Establishment period can support the consumption. Cultivators above the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period can barely activate the Wumu Sword.

Cultivators below the tenth level have too weak spiritual energy. They must hold spirit stones to accumulate enough spiritual energy before they can release a sword strike.

At this time, Qin Sang's family fortune could hold a maximum of eight swords.

Of course, the power of the ebony sword is extraordinary. It's hard for opponents of the same realm to withstand it.

Qin Sang held the Netherworld Scriptures in one hand and the Song Family Sword Techniques in the other, lost in thought.

Whether practicing sword techniques or spells, it cannot be achieved overnight. It requires a long time and is a painstaking process.

If one's cultivation level is negatively affected by practicing spells, then the loss outweighs the gain.

How to make a choice, only you can measure it.

Qin Sang had never fought a cultivator before, so he didn't know which of the five incantations to choose. However, focusing all his energy on the Song Family Sword Technique would surely be unwise.

Even if you find the Yin Sha Qi and your soul pill is constantly replenished, as your realm improves, your cultivation speed will also slow down. Coupled with occasional bottlenecks, it's not realistic to expect to break through to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Period within a few years.

Before reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining, he had to absorb spirit stones before each use of the Ebony Sword. He needed to prepare in advance, as in a critical moment, his opponent wouldn't give him time to do so.

Nevertheless, one still has to rely on spells and artifacts like the Zi Hun Ling to fight enemies. The Wumu Sword is at most a trump card.

Of course, you still have to practice the Song Family Sword Manual.

After getting rid of Song Hua's belongings and putting on his own things, Qin Sang felt a sense of lightness. After all, carrying all that gold and silver was quite tiring.

Purple Soul Ling and the Heavenly Silkworm Armor remained outside, ready to respond to any crisis. Then Qin Sang's thoughts were completely consumed by the Song Family Sword Techniques, forgetting even his practice of the Netherworld Scripture.

For a whole day, Qin Sang didn't step out of the courtyard, immersed in the Song Family Sword Manual and unable to extricate himself.

The most important aspect of swordsmanship is sword cultivation. Only by fully understanding the characteristics of one's spirit sword and merging one's mind and spirit with it can one wield the sword freely and unleash the true power of the sword techniques at will.

Qin Sang communicated with the ebony sword using his mind and spirit, following the guidance of the sword techniques. He first tempered the sword with his own blood to gain its recognition. It took a whole day, but finally, he managed to store the ebony sword in his dantian, nurturing it there constantly.

This method of nurturing and sharpening spiritual swords is the most fundamental swordsmanship technique of Shaohua Mountain.

The Song Family Sword Manual states that when one cultivates the sword to its peak, achieving a state of oneness between man and sword, only then does one enter the realm of swordsmanship. This is far too distant for Qin Sang.

Even out of his cultivation state, Qin Sang could still feel the Wumu Sword in his dantian.

Qin Sang spread out his palm, and in his heart moved. A streak of black light appeared in his palm, a small ebony sword floating above Qin Sang's palm. The originally inconspicuous wooden sword shone with a faint glow on its body, extraordinary and elegant.

Qin Sang's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were filled with excitement. He couldn't help reaching out and pointing forward, whispering softly: "Go!"

The ebony sword trembled, then flew forward tremblingly. Its speed was very slow. It hadn't flown out more than a few feet when Qin Sang suddenly turned pale. He hurriedly retracted the ebony sword into his body and let out a long sigh of relief, with a lingering look of fear on his face.

He was so excited that he forgot how much spiritual energy he had spent while practicing swordsmanship.

Moreover, the ebony sword consumed an alarming amount of spiritual energy. Just flying this short distance nearly depleted his internal spiritual reserves.

After sitting in meditation and adjusting his breath for a while, Qin Sang recovered as good as new. He knew that cultivating the sword was a long process and couldn't be rushed. So, he took out the Netherworld Scriptures and began to practice the incantations.

These basic auxiliary spells are very simple. With experience in exorcism, Qin Sang learned them all in just a few hours.

Of course, to become proficient, one must practice diligently.

Qin Sang tried each of these spells on the sheepskin one by one, but the results were disappointing.

Ultimately, Qin Sang chose the Yun Dun technique and Wan Li Bing Feng. One for escaping, one for relying on against enemies, both were urgently needed by him.

He had the Zi Hun Ling and Bing Can Bao Jia, similar in effect to Wu Suo Heng Jiang and Ning Shui Zhang. They didn't need to be cultivated first.

As for illusions, Qin Sang felt that even if he released an illusory doppelganger to confuse the enemy, once seen through by the enemy, it would be equally impossible to escape.
