I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 481
Chapter 481: Chapter 337: Sword Light Transformation (Thanks to the first ally from 123BumTou) _2
After sending the Yi Wood Divine Thunder towards the Dao tree, Chen Mobai waited until a wisp of green lightning entered his sea of consciousness.
At that moment, he felt as if his forehead had been struck by thunder.
Unable to hold on, he blacked out.
After passing out, though, he took out his phone and pressed the button to return to his hometown.
Shimmering with silver light, he was instantly teleported to the small wooden cabin atop Crimson Mountain.
Once back in his immortal school, a spontaneous sense of safety made Chen Mobai relax and fall into a deep sleep.
He felt a piece of his soul seemingly transform into lightning, transported into the vast unknown, weathering wind and snow, and in one mysterious moment, it joined with the essence of thunder atop a great tree to clash with the spirit of wood, sparking a strand of electricity.
Following that, like a chain reaction, the electric arc turned into lightning, dancing wildly like a green snake, enveloping the void, exuding reckless and raging power, illuminating the forest.
The lightning grew stronger, gradually turning into a beautiful spectacle like a blooming fiery tree, reaching its peak in full bloom.
However, as it absorbed more of the spirit of wood, the lightning began to soften, turning the lightning into water, bright and clear.
Then, the spirit of wood completely took over the essence of thunder, transforming the lightning water into mist. The Yi Wood Divine Thunder seemed like continuous, drizzling rain, permeating the very tree that birthed it.
Layers of bark began to shed, and with the constant cycle of life and death energies, the tree transcended mundanity and began to manifest spirituality.
Thunderous power represents both destruction and vitality.
After fully cultivating the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, Chen Mobai never expected that it would lead not to destruction, but to rebirth.
At that moment, Chen Mobai woke up.
He got up from the wooden bed and slowly lifted his right hand.
Five strands of green lightning sparked off his fingertips and merged into his palm, then under his divine sense, they turned into a pool of clear lightning water, as bright as a mirror.
He walked out and sprinkled the lightning water from his palm onto a small patch of grass near the door.
Regrettably, the grass instantly turned into charcoal.
Even though he had grasped the mystery of the destructive and rejuvenating power of the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, if Chen Mobai wanted to use it to cultivate spirit medicines and plants, he would still need to conduct long-term experiments to understand the amount of lightning water each plant could withstand.
This was very useful for Chen Mobai.
Because he could use the Yi Wood Lightning Water to stimulate the growth of the Jade Bamboo Spirit Rice, shortening its original ten-year maturation period, and it could also be used on various other hybrid Spirit Rice.
Even just for this gain, Chen Mobai felt his hardships before the Dao Tree were worth it.
Besides the Yi Wood Divine Thunder, he had also reached the realm of “Sword Light into Form”.
He immediately returned to his room and took out his phone to search online, only to find very little information available. Only on the Auxiliary Cultivation forum, there was an anonymous post mentioning this term while disproving the arguments of the original poster.
Chen Mobai did not waste any more time, after instilling two drops of Clear Eyesight Bamboo Spirit Dew, feeling a bit of his divine sense restored, he once again entered tranquility, beginning to understand what “Sword Light into Form” was.
This seemed to be the path of the Immortal Sect’s sword cultivators, starting with Sword Training to become Gang, Sword Gang transforming into Qi, Rainbow Sword Qi, Sword Rainbow Fission and surprisingly, not the mainstream Sword Light Solidifying Demons, instead it transformed into “Sword Light into Form”.
This realm required one’s own soul to unify with the cultivated Sword Light, merging man and Sword into one, then fusing Heaven, man, and Sword into one, eventually having all things and phenomena exist within the Sword, with one Sword generating all laws.
One Sword generating all laws!
On seeing this name, Chen Mobai seemed to understand.
From ancient times, sword cultivators had been divided into two factions, “One Sword Breaks All Laws” and “One Sword Generates All Laws”.
Compared to the path of One Sword Breaks All Laws which merely required purity and focus, One Sword Generates All Laws was incredibly difficult, requiring talent, comprehension, and even opportunities that were no simpler than the grand spells of Immortality Transformation employed by the Immortal Sect.
Over time, the path of One Sword Generates All Laws had been abandoned by sword cultivators.
At least on the side of the Immortal Sect, ninety-nine percent of the sword cultivators had chosen the path of One Sword Breaks All Laws.
From Chen Mobai’s understanding, the same was true in the Tianhe Realm.
The shapeshifting Sword Light that Chen Mobai obtained from the Eternal Life Church was the crucial first step in the path of “One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Methods”.
Only Sword Cultivators who have taken this step can go on to cultivate the subsequent Sword Transforms Ten Thousand appearances, and for him, Sword and Man become one.
The majority of Sword Cultivators who try to follow the path of One Sword Creates Ten Thousand Methods get stuck at this step and have no choice but to condense their Sword Demons and proceed with One Sword Destroys Ten Thousand Methods.
However, Chen Mobai felt that this was a complete waste considering he got it as a chance with his Crown Filling Technique.
Clearly, One Sword spawns Ten Thousand Methods does not suit him as an ordinary person.
He simply doesn’t have that kind of enlightening insight!
He just wants to focus on Sword Wipeout Thunder Sound, Condensing Sword into Thread, and then One Sword Destroys Ten Thousand Methods.
The simpler, the better. If it gets too difficult, he really doesn’t have the confidence to continue learning.
However, having acquired the realm of “Sword Light Shapeshifting”, Chen Mobai feels that it would be a waste to abandon it, especially considering it’s something he obtained from the Great Dao Tree after enduring great pain.
Maybe he should learn a bit about it first.
Thinking this, Chen Mobai took out his phone and asked his teacher, Che Yucheng.
[Why are you asking me about all this? Go ask Zuo Gong!]
However, after hearing the question, Che Yucheng lost his temper and hung up the phone.
It was at this point that Chen Mobai remembered that despite being Che Yucheng’s disciple, he never really put much effort into Puppet Dao. He felt somewhat ashamed of this.
However, after feeling ashamed, he quickly sent a message to Zuo Gong, the principal of the Sword Control Department, with whom he hadn’t been in contact for a long time.
To his surprise, he quickly got a response.
[I’m at the school field.]
Chen Mobai immediately tidied up his appearance, even changing his clothes. Of course, he also remembered to hide his realm of Foundation Establishment Perfection using the Returning Essence Secret Technique. After making sure there were no loopholes, he used the Short Teleportation Talisman to teleport to the Treasure Trove.
Then, after Hua Zijing and Zhuang Jialan had reacted, he snuck out of the Student Council and ran to the school field of the Sword Control Department.
Unexpectedly, in addition to Zuo Gong, there was another familiar face.
It was Zha Jianbai, from his cohort.
A class was in session.
Zha Jianbai appears to have started teaching low-grade students from the Daoist Academy the courses of the Sword Control Department. The somewhat short Zuo Gong was sitting on the school field steps, as if gauging whether there were any promising talents among this new batch of Sword Control students.
After Chen Mobai arrived, he didn’t interrupt Zha Jianbai’s class. After exchanging greeting glances, he immediately came to Zuo Gong’s side and paid his respects.
“Teacher Zuo, long time no see.”
“Hmm, how come you have time to see me today?”
Zuo Gong patted the stair beside him, and Chen Mobai immediately sat down next to him, explaining what he wanted to know.
“So it’s like this, I heard that Sword Cultivators have two different paths, One Sword Destroys Ten Thousand Methods and One Sword Produces Ten Thousand Methods. I have been feeling somewhat confused about which path to choose after my recent breakthrough in Sword Dao, so I wanted to come and seek your guidance.”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s question, Zuo Gong, who was initially somewhat absent-minded, became immediately alert. He turned his head and glanced at him, then hummed with an expression that seemed to say, “I have already seen through your real purpose.”
“It seems you’re quite ambitious, knowing that the Sword technique in my hands leads to the One Sword Produces Ten Thousand Methods path. I suppose it was Che Yucheng who told you, huh? Let me be straight with you, unless you cultivate to the realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting, even if you manage to achieve Condensation Sword into Thread, don’t even think about getting a glimpse of this treasure from my Sword Control Department.”
“Teacher Zuo, I’m not that kind of person, I’m just purely curious about the One Sword Produces Ten Thousand Methods path. However, there is no cultivation content for this on the internet. So I thought about coming to the Daoist Academy. With your high Sword Dao realm, isn’t it natural for me to come to ask you for guidance?”
Chen Mobai resisted the urge to reveal his realm of Sword Light Shapeshifting and chose to flatter Zuo Gong first.
“One Sword Produces Ten Thousand Methods is most suitable for the path of Soul Accompanying Sword. In our Dance Tool Dao Academy, Ancestor Bai Guang used this path to carry out his Divinity Transformation. However, due to its high requirements for talent, comprehension, and even the sword itself, the Immortal Gate doesn’t encourage cultivators below the Core Formation stage to get involved with One Sword Produces Ten Thousand Methods.”
Zuo Gong once again disclosed a piece of information Chen Mobai was not aware of.
One of the Immortal Gate’s Double Saints, Elder Bai Guang, actually followed the path of One Sword Produces Ten Thousand Methods.
