In fact, Cui Heng didn’t think it was too much for Jiang Qiqi to ask him to teach her Immortal swordsmanship.
After all, this so-called Immortal sword art was basically the same as Jiang Qiqi’s Life Nourishing Sword Technique.
It was precisely because of this sword technique that he found a way to make his Dharmic powers more agile.
Its significance to him was akin to a hope that could help him activate his Dao foundation and allow his cultivation realm to improve a step further.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Jiang Qiqi’s Life Nourishing Sword Technique had ‘helped’ Cui Heng achieve the Dao.
If he didn’t have this sword technique, he might have been able to break through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm himself, but it might have taken him decades or even centuries.
This favor was definitely not light.
Although Jiang Qiqi herself did not know about this favor, Cui Heng could not ignore it.
Since the little girl wanted to learn Immortal swordsmanship, he would naturally do his best to figure out a suitable sword technique for her.
For Foundation Establishment cultivators, Dharmic powers had already become a part of their body and could be mobilized at will. Previously, Cui Heng just didn’t know how to mobilize it to unleash its powerful strength.
Now that he had the Life Nourishing Sword Technique as a reference, he could infer all kinds of sword techniques from it.
In just one day, by dusk, he had deduced hundreds of different sword techniques.
Not only were there “original” martial arts, but there were also sword kinesis that could be performed with flying swords!
He could already use the Beginner’s Flying Sword at the third level of Qi Refinement.
However, since he had yet to find a suitable sword kinesis technique, he could only use his flying sword to slash randomly. At most, he could use it to chop trees. It was not very useful.
But things would be different from now on.
As soon as the sword art was unleashed, Cui Heng felt that he could easily kill hundreds of the previous him who did not know any sword techniques.
For him, this really could be said to be an extreme sublimation.
Hence, he spent the rest of the night deducing a sword art that was suitable for Jiang Qiqi.
“Although the power of the Life Nourishing Sword Technique itself isn’t low, the Qi circulation technique seemed to be somewhat incomplete. It only described the Qi circulation meridians and the method to nurture the body and spirit.
“There was no way to refine Heaven Earth Essence Qi to strengthen the sword move. This should be the most important part for a complete advanced sword art”
Cui Heng had discovered this problem earlier.
If not for the fact that his Dharmic powers had the ability to mobilize Heaven Earth Essence Qi, he might not have been able to unleash the true power of this sword technique.
Now, when using this as a blueprint to deduce a sword technique suitable for Jiang Qiqi, he thought of this matter.
This was actually not hard to understand.
The method to refine the Heaven Earth Essence Qi in the outside world was the key to making this sword technique extraordinary.
If not for this part, the Life Nourishing Sword Technique would really just be the Life Nourishing Sword Technique.
Perhaps the old Daoist priest only wanted Jiang Qiqi to use this sword technique to strengthen her body, so he didn’t teach her this higher level cultivation technique.
This was very reasonable.
In order to create an “Immortal sword technique”, sensing the external world was of utmost importance.
Most of Cui Heng’s experience was in this aspect.
At dawn, he finally created a complete sword technique that was suitable for Jiang Qiqi and himself.
This was a combination of martial arts swordsmanship and Immortal cultivators’ sword kinesis techniques.
Using martial arts was a sword technique that could draw in the power of Heaven and Earth.
Using the Immortal sword art to display the moves, one could unleash flying sword moves and sword lights to fight.
If one cultivated to the pinnacle, they would possess strength comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Once the sword was unsheathed, a thousand feet of golden glow would fill the sky like an Immortal descending to the world.
He named it the Immortal Dawn Sword Art.
“Although this sword art can only be cultivated to the level of Foundation Establishment, this is not the limit. When she comes into contact with higher level martial arts in the future, she can further improve the sword art.”
“Moreover, with might comparable to the Foundation Establishment, in the world of cultivation, she can be considered quite a figure. Even in the world of high-level martial arts and profound illusions, this level should be enough for one to enter the threshold.”
Cui Heng was very satisfied with his creation this time.
...
The next morning.
Jiang Qiqi brought a small stool over from who knows where. She sat in front of the door of the Beginner’s Hut, her small mouth unconsciously blowing bubbles.
She was waiting for Cui Heng to come out.
When the sun rose into the sky, the door of the villa finally opened.
Jiang Qiqi’s eyes lit up and she jumped up in joy. “Big Brother Immortal!”
She seemed more lively than before.
“You sat here for a day and a night?” Cui Heng looked around and asked in surprise, “Why didn’t you return to your room?”
“I’m afraid that you won’t be able to see me when you come out.” Jiang Qiqi lightly smiled and said, “You said that you wanted me to wait for you here in the morning. I don’t want to miss even a little bit of time, let alone make you wait for me.”
“Could it be that you haven’t even eaten?” Cui Heng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Ah, this…” Jiang Qiqi suddenly looked like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and explained softly,” Although I haven’t eaten, there will always be a warm feeling in my stomach, making me not feel hungry. Ah! ”
As she spoke, she suddenly let out a cry, her face slightly red. She looked at Cui Heng and said, “Big Brother Immortal, that warm current is coming out again. It’s everywhere in my stomach. It’s so warm. Why don’t you touch it?”
The little girl pointed at her stomach as if she wanted to prove that she wasn’t lying.
“That is the residual spirit energy from the bowl of noodles you ate earlier. It won’t last long.” Cui Heng ignored the ignorant girl’s actions. “Let’s go. Let’s eat first, then I’ll teach you swordsmanship.”
“Oh, alright.” Jiang Qiqi nodded obediently and followed behind Cui Heng.
Since Cui Heng had already been treated as Big Brother Immortal by the little girl, he was no longer worried about scaring her. He called out the Yellow-scarved Strongman and got him to make two sets of breakfast.
Naturally, the appearance of the Yellow-scarved Strongman attracted Jiang Qiqi’s exclamations. When the Yellow-scarved Strongman started cooking, it attracted all the attention of the little girl.
After all, it was rather amusing to see a three-meter-tall, muscular man cooking.
After breakfast.
Cui Heng brought Jiang Qiqi to his usual cultivation chamber.
Although it was called a chamber, it was actually more than 70 square meters in size.
It was huge.
It was enough for him to impart sword techniques.
“The sword technique I’m imparting to you is called the Immortal Dawn Sword Art. As long as you cultivate it diligently, you’ll have a chance to slash out a strike that isn’t inferior to the strike I swung yesterday.”
Cui Heng briefly introduced the Immortal Dawn Sword Art, and then he said in a low voice, “Once this sword art is passed down to you, you’ll be my only successor in your world. Can you pass down this sword art, and will you be able to remember and carry out your words from before to help some people and change some things?”
“I can! Big Brother Immortal!” Jiang Qiqi said firmly, her eyes filled with determination. “I will!”
