153 Sword Cultivation Realms

“The second weakness that you possess is the foundation obviously. Whenever a cultivator starts his cultivation, there are certain realms that he needs to pass through.”

“Breaking into these realms might be hard for some especially if you come from a place with low spiritual energy. But, actually, most of the people don’t realize that they are not tapping to the highest possibility of the reach realm.”

“Why do you think there are only nine realms in each cultivation realm? Nine represents the end of all. But, that’s actually not true. While Nine Realms are derived from Nine Heavens, there are actually higher worlds than just nine heavens.”

“There is the Tenth World. There is Forbidden Land. Then, there is a Taboo Realm. Basically, during Foundation Realm, you can go up to Taboo Realm. If an average cultivator is at the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm, his strength would be at 30000 kilograms.”

“But, if you manage to reach Tenth World, you will have the strength of One Hundred Thousand Kilograms. Then, if you tap into Forbidden Realm, your strength will reach Five Hundred Thousand Kilograms. And, if you tap into Taboo Realm, your strength will reach the level of One Million.”

“Unfortunately, till now, I have only heard of ten people reaching Tenth World, three people reaching Forbidden Realm, and only one person ever tapping into Taboo Realm.”

“That person was an Immortal DragonElephant, the god who practiced Heavenly Dao. Yes, one of the strongest Dao. So, you don’t have to worry about those geniuses. But, even so, just reaching the strength of 30000 kilograms at the Foundation Establishment Realm means their foundation is much stronger than yours.”

“Then, in True Essence Realm, while you people normally consider condensing your true essence inside your dantian, and filling it up. The people from Tiandao Continent use the secret arts to use the true essence for different purposes.”

“Of course, you guys don’t know much about secrets and arts and even messed up many things. Basically, the combination of cultivation technique with martial art is known as secret art.”

“They allow one to manipulate and transform spiritual energy. For example, your Thunder Body Forging Technique. Le told me about this technique and its’ actually a secret art.”

“That’s because you transform your spiritual energy into Thunder Aura. And, unlike Lightning energy, Thunder Aura can be considered a boost rather than normal transformation of energy from spiritual energy to lightning energy.”

“That’s why you are stronger and almost comparable to the geniuses of the Tiandao Continent. But since you didn’t properly train in Foundation Establishment Realm, your strength isn’t exactly similar to theirs. You derive your strength from something else.”

“Do you understand?”

Hearing her questions, Fu Chen fell into deep contemplation. After a while, he asked, “Are these the only weakness that I’ve?”

“No, of course not! I was just telling you whether you understood what I tried to tell you or not.”

“Your next weakness might be your complete fault. While these two weren’t your fault since there was no one to teach you but when it comes to the third fault, only you are to blame.”

“And, that is your sword. You obviously are a sword cultivator. You use a sword almost every single time. Your strongest attack is a sword attack but then, why is your sword intent so weak?”

Hearing her words, Fu Chen looked at her with a strange gaze and raised his hands.

“Whoa! Whoa! Why are you calling my Sword Intent weak? I can kill a Law Condensation Cultivator with my sword intent alone. I wouldn’t even need to use any sword arts.”

Lily rolled her eyes and said “That’s exactly why I said, your sword intent is weak. Do you have any idea how you can form Sword Intent?”

“You need Sword Energy and Sword Heart. First, you need to condense the Sword Energy to the ninth stage where your sword energy should be able equal to the amount of true essence you have inside your dantian.”

“And, its four attributes need to be perfected. Then, you condense Sword Heart. Unlike Sword Energy, it only has three realms. Desire, Ocean, and Visualization.”

“The stronger your desire for a sword gets, the stronger your Sword Heart will be. In fact, if you desire nothing but sword then just in the Sword Heart Realm, you can kill Law Condensation Cultivator.”

“If your sword desire can be deeper than the ocean and vast like an ocean, then your sword will get even stronger. It depends upon how strong your Sword Desire and Oceans are.”

“And, finally while these are still imaginative concepts, through the simple step, you can bring them to reality. You need to visualize your sword filling up an ocean. The vast and deeper it gets, the stronger your sword heart will get.”

“And, at this realm, you can kill Nascent Soul Cultivator. You don’t even need Sword Intent.”

“And, when you finally condense the Sword Intent and reach stage nine, you can fight against Ancestor Realms, yeah, not just Lord Realm but Ancestor Realm. And, finally, you need to condense Sword Domain to reach the peak of this world.”

“Of course, above this, there is another realm but you don’t need to go through that right now. So, I want to ask you. Why is your Sword Intent so weak?”

“Because I didn’t cultivate Sword Heart.” Fu Chen replied with a blank expression.

Suddenly, a silence dropped in the ship for a moment.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean you didn’t cultivate the Sword Heart? How can you cultivate Sword Intent without cultivating Sword Heart? I might not be a swordsman but even I know that to cultivate Sword Intent, you to merge your Sword Energy with your Sword Heart.”

“Sword Intent is basically the combination of Sword Energy with your desire that you can visualize. It isn’t just some kind of supplement that increases your attack power.”

“Sword Intent is basically the Sword itself. So, why can you condense Sword Intent without even cultivating Sword Heart?” Lily frantically shouted as she shook her head.

Xue Le was shocked by Lily’s voice as she had never heard Lily so furious and loud.

“I don’t know. I have a Sword Heart Law that gives me an insight into a certain level of sword cultivation. Each page has a different level. So, when the next page appeared, I thought I could practice the next level and did so.”

“Actually, my sword attributes aren’t even close to perfection. I am still halfway through. The only things that I have perfected are Golden Sun Cultivation Technique and Thunder Body Forging Technique.”

“Wait, you said you perfected Golden Sun Cultivation Technique? Then, why can’t I sense your Fire Spirit Body? The last level of that cultivation technique is Fire Spirit Body, right?” Xue Le suddenly interrupted Lily and asked.

“About that… while my Martial Soul was evolving, it consumed my Fire Spirit Body as a sacrifice to evolve. Thankfully, I already had Thunder Aura which could be replenished by merging Positive and Negative energy to form Life Force and then merging life force with Spiritual Energy.”

“Unfortunately for me, it wouldn’t consume Sun Essence or else I wouldn’t have to sacrifice my Fire Spirit Body.” Fu Chen explained.

“Of course, it wouldn’t absorb Sun Essence. What do you think Sun Essence means? It is the lower form of Star Force/Power/Energy/Essence. Basically, the sun is a star. And, the energy that comes out of the sun at its full potential is known as Star Essence.”

“Your Martial Soul needed Fire and Lightning. It gained lightning powers from Thunder Aura since Thunder Aura combined with spiritual energy can create Lightning.”

“But, Sun Essence is directly reflects Star Essence which means it is not the power that your martial soul required. Hence, it consumed your Fire Spirit Body which is the pure form of fire.”

“Now, let’s get back to what we were talking. You said you have Heart Law that you are blindly following, right?”

Fu Chen nodded his head. He basically had no idea that he wasn’t making progress but rather regressing his strength.

Seeing him nod, Lily thought for a moment and raised her feather.

“How about this? During this journey, you completely focus on that Heart Law. Once you understand everything you can access, you give me the overview and I will tell you how to proceed.”

“Because if what you are telling me is correct then you really need to abandon that Heart Law. If you hadn’t had so many amazing Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques, I would immediately tell you to throw them away.”

“But since it could be because of your lack of understanding, let’s give it a shot. You said you have only unlocked two pages, right? Try to remember every single word of those two pages and then inform me.”

Fu Chen nodded and closed his eyes. At this moment, Ysla’s voice rang in his head.

“Host, I am not sure about these sword cultivation realms but that Sword Heart Law is one of the best treasures in the system. I only learned that after the system got the upgrade. Be careful if you truly want to reveal such a secret to others.”
