Chapter 382: Chapter 381: Primordial Spirit True Immortal Sword Intent!

Gu Yuan’s swordsmanship is the foundation he built step by step himself, harmonizing with his cultivation True Qi and connecting with his Dao Heart Divine Soul, truly originating from the same source.

With swordsmanship as his foundation, Gu Yuan could walk more steadily and go further.

In contrast, the other two Great Divine Techniques, although intrinsically superior, ultimately seemed somewhat less fitting.

Therefore, Ancestor Danxia approved of Gu Yuan’s plan and grew increasingly appreciative of him.

Even after achieving his current accomplishments, Gu Yuan remains quite rational, knowing what he desires, and persistently searching for and achieving his goals. This steadiness alone would save him from many detours in the future,

“Using swordsmanship as the core to forge the Golden Core, elevating sword skill divine techniques into the prototype of Great Divine Techniques… hey, you kid are quite lucky.”

Ancestor Danxia pondered for a moment, then retrieved a copper cauldron from his storage pouch and tossed it to Gu Yuan.

The copper cauldron was square, with a bronze color and covered in rust, yet it carried some reliefs of divine beasts and cloud and thunder patterns, appearing quite ancient and dignified.

“This copper cauldron was originally a magical treasure, a top-tier one. However, now, this copper cauldron has been ruined.”

“Of course, the cauldron itself isn’t important; what’s important is the sword mark on top of it!”

Gu Yuan reached out and caught it, only to feel his hands sink, almost unable to hold onto it, leaving him astonished.

This copper cauldron was evidently very heavy, likely weighing almost one million jin.

However, when he heard that this copper cauldron was a top-tier magical treasure, he wasn’t surprised anymore.

Top-tier magical treasures are common items used by Yang Spirit experts, so having this weight is very normal.

Nonetheless, having such a top-tier magical treasure, especially one that’s a rare tripod artifact, reduced to mere scrap metal, was indeed a pity.

The high value of a top-tier magical treasure would tempt even Yang Spirit experts.

Even a first-class Great Immortal Sect like Medicine King Mountain might not possess more than five pieces of such treasures!

Yet now, such a treasure had been destroyed…

Gu Yuan studied it carefully and found that though the copper cauldron had lost all its spiritual light, it remained indestructible due to its material and the residual power left on it.

Nonetheless, what caught Gu Yuan’s attention first was the sword mark on it.

This sword mark almost sliced the entire copper cauldron in half, with a smooth and even cut, containing an extremely sharp and terrifying killing intent as if capable of annihilating everything!

With just a slight mental touch, Gu Yuan felt a faint yet persistent killing intent seeping into his mind.

At this moment, Gu Yuan clearly felt his sword skill divine dao seed subtly trembling, and at the same time, the concentrated sword intent within him seemed to perceive a crisis, ringing in response.

Before Gu Yuan’s eyes appeared streams of sword light rushing at him, each filled with spiritual essence: some aggressive, some light and agile, some ancient and staid, some skillful yet unpolished, some feminine and elusive.

Moreover, these sword lights were not all sword-shaped.

Some took the form of mountains, some mud, some grass, some flowers, some mice, some humans.

All living things, heavenly creations, seemed to be swords!

Ten thousand streams of sword light flooded in, filling Gu Yuan’s vision space, where apart from swords, there was nothing but swords.

Gu Yuan only felt that his own painstakingly cultivated swordsmanship seemed somewhat eclipsed under these sword lights.

However, he was not one to admit defeat.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan activated his sword intent, and above his head, a bright and luminous moon wheel appeared.

The moon wheel was like a jade plate, emitting a glow that was not scorching but filled with a feminine and aggressive aura.

The pervasive, impenetrable moonlight transformed into streams of sword light, meeting the incoming sword light.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Under Gu Yuan’s overwhelming sword light, the invading sword lights were partially worn away, then pressed on again.

Fortunately, the moonlight from the moon wheel above Gu Yuan’s head was endless, continuously transforming into sword light to keep countering.

It wasn’t known how much time had passed until finally these invading sword lights were completely worn out.

Then…

Gu Yuan felt a momentary daze and returned to reality, almost dropping the copper cauldron in his hand, which landed on the ground with a thud.

If it weren’t for the restrictions set up on the floor of the hall making it seamless, it might have punched a big hole into the ground.

“Just now, was it…”

Gu Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could finish, he understood what just happened.

The sword lights that had attacked him earlier were clearly transformed by that trace of sword intent.

At this point, Ancestor Danxia smiled and said, “You should have realized by now that the sword mark on this copper cauldron is not ordinary, it was actually left by a Primordial Spirit True Immortal.”

“Within the sword mark resides a trace of sword intent from the Primordial Spirit True Immortal, which you only need to gradually comprehend the essence of, or use to hone your own Sword Dao, which should be greatly beneficial to you.”

A sword intent left by a Primordial Spirit True Immortal…

Gu Yuan showed a look of shock and was quite moved, nodding in recognition of Ancestor Danxia’s words.

He had just experienced this.

Even a faint trace of this sword intent had already made it difficult for him to cope, but likewise, Gu Yuan could also feel that his sword intent and even his sword skill divine techniques had indeed absorbed some essence and benefited from the tempering, gaining a slight increase.

However, that was not the most important thing; the key point was that from the sword intent of the unknown Primordial Spirit True Immortal, Gu Yuan glimpsed a part of the Sword Dao of this Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

Gu Yuan’s own Sword Dao, based on the Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas, Chaotic Heaven Demon-Slaying Sword Scripture, and the Sword Dao Divine Techniques Taiyin Moon Reflected Sword Formulas, ultimately cultivated into swordsmanship unique to himself.

His swordsmanship was sharp and agile, ever-changing yet filled with bone-piercing killing intent; he had already mastered sword qi thunder sound, sword light division, and sword qi silk, among other sword dao realms, but fundamentally, it was still essentially about the sword.

But the swordsmanship he had just witnessed, although ostensibly based on Sword Dao, had already transcended it, stepping onto a realm and grand momentum of creating all things of heaven and earth with a single sword, measuring the great Dao of heaven and earth!

Such a realm surpassed Gu Yuan countless times!

Indeed, having witnessed this, Gu Yuan’s journey was undoubtedly worthwhile!

Actually, Gu Yuan had long been aware of realms like creating all things of heaven and earth with one sword, and had heard about it.

However, hearing is one thing; seeing with his own eyes was a first.

Then, the scene just now, although somewhat illusory, allowed him to grasp a trace.

As long as he follows this trace, continues to comprehend the essence of the sword intent, breaks it down and absorbs it, he can naturally continue to improve.

In fact, regarding the cultivation of divine techniques, talent and enlightenment are important, but direction is equally crucial.
