Lin Yun stood in front of this stone wall for three days.
During the three days, Lin Yun had completely gained a new understanding of swordplay by observing the stone wall.
This stone wall, to Lin Yun, was as if it had completely opened a new door!
“Try it!”
Lin Yun immediately lit up his red-blooded sword and began to dance.
No matter how much one comprehended, one ultimately had to be able to use it themselves.
It was like in a maths problem, having grasped and understood a knowledge point, it wasn’t enough to just understand it, one had to be able to actually apply the knowledge point in many variations of the problem.
“It’s not right!”
“Still not right!”
“Again!”
……
Lin Yun matter danced with his sword, stopping at times to continue observing the stone wall.
Just like that, three days and three days and three days.
After Lin Yun viewed the stone wall, he practiced the Five Elements Sword Technique, Two Element Chapter.
The old man who guarded the Heavenly Sword Pavilion would come into the Heavenly Sword Pavilion from time to time to make his rounds.
“Eh? This little guy is actually practising the Five Elements Sword Technique?”The old man was a little surprised.
When Lin Yun came in, the old man had checked Lin Yun’s identity, and he remembered that Lin Yun was only an outer disciple ah.
Immediately after, the old man stopped and watched Lin Yun, who was dancing with his sword, for several hours.
“This kid has good understanding, by watching the stone wall, he’s progressing really fast, a good seedling for sword practice.”The old man’s eyes lit up.
Lin Yun was completely immersed in the state of sword practice, as if he was in a world that belonged only to himself, unaware of the outside world.
Until the twelfth day of entering this place.
After Lin Yun finished dancing a set of sword techniques.
“Haha, the Two-Embodied Chapter! It’s done!”Lin Yun laughed in excitement.
Lin Yun had benefited greatly from observing the stone wall this time, and had learnt many things from it that he hadn’t thought of before, and then after practising on his own, he had raised to the fourth level of the Five Elements Sword Technique in one fell swoop.
“The power of the Two Elemental Chapter Sword Technique has definitely surpassed, the power of the third stance of the Fused Green Lotus Decree!”Lin Yun muttered.
The power of the Yiyuan Chapter had already surpassed the fifth stance of the Xuanxian Sword Technique, not to mention how powerful the Two-Embodied Chapter was.
“The Two Elemental Psalm has been practiced, it’s time to go out.”Lin Yun wore a smile.
According to the rules, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion could only stay for a maximum of 15 days at a time, and Lin Yun had already stayed for 12 days.
It was pointless for Lin Yun to stay any longer now, for one thing, Lin Yun didn’t have the middle book of the Five Elements Sword Technique yet, so he couldn’t refine the next one.
Secondly, even if he did, Lin Yun’s sword technique had experienced a sudden surge, and within a short period of time, it would be difficult to improve it again.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yun left the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
The entrance to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
“Young man, the Five Elements Sword Technique Two Element Chapter, you’ve practised it?”The old man guarding the Heavenly Sword Pavilion inquired with a smile.
Lin Yun was a little stunned, how did he know he was refining the Five Elements Sword Technique?
Then Lin Yun released a smile, it was normal, the old man was from the Heaven Shielding Sword Pavilion, it wasn’t strange to see him practising his sword.
“Yes old senior.”Lin Yun wore a smile and was courteous.
“Awesome, you’ve made rapid progress in your sword skills in these short twelve days.”The old man said with a smile.
“Elder overpraise, it’s mainly due to the stone wall of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, I contemplated the stone wall to make this progress.”Lin Yun smiled.
Lin Yun was clear that if it wasn’t for the observation of the stone wall, if Lin Yun wanted to rely on himself to perceive the sword technique and practise the Two Yi Chapter, he was afraid that the time it would take would be measured in years.
Cultivation was about wealth and lucre, this was the importance of cultivation resources, why so many cultivators wanted to join the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was because the Heavenly Sword Sect was rich in resources and had a strong heritage.
“Most cultivators with good talent are proud of themselves, it’s rare to find one as humble as you!”The old man smiled and sighed.
The old man smiled and continued; “This stone wall, is indeed a supreme treasure, that is, some royal clans, who obviously do not lack cultivation resources, also have to think of ways to send their children into the Heavenly Sword Sect, and some of them do it just to have a look at this stone wall.”
“But it is ultimately an external object, how much can you realise, you still have to rely on yourself, there are some disciples, even if they view the stone wall, they don’t have too much to gain, you are considered to be the kind that gains a lot.”
“Thank you senior for the compliment, the kid will take his leave first.”Lin Yun cupped his fists.
“Go.”The old man nodded with a smile.
Lin Yun left.
The old man looked at Lin Yun’s back and couldn’t help but murmur, “Quite an interesting little fellow, it’s rare to find a disciple that’s so polite to me, the old man guarding the gate.”
……
After leaving the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Lin Yun travelled all the way back to his residence with a pleasant mood.
In the month or so since he had arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect, Lin Yun had made rapid progress.
Firstly, his realm had rushed into Cave Void and reached the second stage of Cave Void, and now he had practiced a super divine level sword technique and reached the ‘Two Glyphs Chapter’ in one fell swoop.
There were still a few months left before the New Competition, so during this next period, Lin Yun still planned to cultivate and improve with all his might.
On the way back, Lin Yun was also silently planning for his cultivation in his mind.
There were many things that Lin Yun needed to cultivate, so he had to plan well, to prioritise, and what to focus on upgrading, so he couldn’t just swallow it whole.
In this way, he could improve himself as much as possible in a limited amount of time.
If one wanted to learn everything, it would be difficult to learn too many different things and become proficient, so it would be better to specialise in cultivating fewer parts.
“I’ll have to abandon the Black Flame Decision and stop cultivating it, it’s no longer suitable for me at the moment.”Lin Yun muttered.
Although the Black Flame Decision was special, after all, it wasn’t of a high grade and was only a secret book on Earth.
Although he was considered good on Earth.
But when he came to the cultivation continent, down the line, Lin Yun would inevitably have better secret teachings.
These, trade-offs had to be made.
Moreover, the further back the Black Flame Decision was refined, the more time it would take.
On Earth, if there wasn’t a better secret dharma, one could spend a lot of time refining him.
But in this world, it was no longer worth it to spend a lot of time cultivating.
The Black Flame Decree had already been practiced to the seventh layer, and when Lin Yun fought, he could continue to use it for now.
However, when he was cultivating during normal times, he no longer spent a lot of time cultivating it.
That meant that it could continue to be used, but no longer continue to be raised.
After returning to his residence, Lin Yun continued to start cultivating with all his might.
For this next period of time, Lin Yun’s plan was simple: firstly, consolidate his realm, secondly, raise his divine sense, and thirdly, find a way to experiment with how to fuse the two types of Upanishads.
The days of cultivation passed quietly like running water.
In the blink of an eye, more than four months passed.
……
Inside the room.
Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes.
During this period of time, Lin Yun had stayed in the Heavenly Sword Sect every day to cultivate without any distractions, so the days of cultivation had been pleasant.
“Today is the day of the New Competition, this day has finally come.”Lin Yun muttered.
For this time, Lin Yun had been looking forward to the Newcomers Competition for a long time.
Lin Yun’s goal, to secure 10 and rush 3, to secure the top 10 and impact the top 3.
There was another significance to the newcomer competition, after the newcomer competition, one would no longer be completely considered a newcomer to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
In the future, one could leave the Heavenly Sword Sect to go outside just like any other outer disciple, and wouldn’t be restricted from having to stay within the Heavenly Sword Sect, but leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect would have to be reported to the outer sect and approved, similar to a modern day leave of absence note.
Immediately after, Lin Yun got up and went out.
In the courtyard.
Gao Yiheng and Huang Tao were both cutting in the courtyard, they both stopped when they saw Lin Yun.
