Chapter 631 - 263: Tigers and Wolves Ahead, Celestial Pass of Ten Thousand Beasts (Part 2)

Although being able to almost reach the entry level of the notoriously difficult Sword Control Technique without achieving Divine Martial Realm cultivation is already considered a stunning talent,

my own practice of the "Sword Control Technique" has never been enhanced with Tribulation Value.

The entry level was obtained from the Trace Origin and Steal Fortune of Venerable Yuxiao.

The subsequent proficiency to mastery level was all improved by sudden enlightenment.

Twice upgraded, without spending a single penny.

Directly comprehended the realm of Sword Light Rainbow Transformation, gaining a significant advantage in battle strategies.

Compared with cultivators of the same realm,

why can I achieve victory after victory with ease and delight?

One word, "Speed."

Combined with a Spiritual Treasure Sword in hand, as long as the opponent cannot block the cutting of the sword’s light, they have basically lost half the battle before it even starts.

Therefore, in Chen Ping’s view, it is very necessary to continue investing in this Sword Control Technique.

Making the strongest skills even more formidable is the correct strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Upgrade, Sword Control Technique."

With this thought, Chen Ping disregarded his heartache for the recently acquired Tribulation Points.

Matters of realm can be taken slowly. Money spent can be earned again. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush; increasing immediate combat power is of utmost importance.

Tribulation Points turned into a strange, profound light, projecting into his mind.

Chen Ping trembled slightly, shivering unconsciously.

He felt countless pieces of knowledge flowing into his mind, connecting everything he had seen, learned, and occasionally thought of with an invisible yet tangible thin thread.

All these foundations of past and present turned into various innovative ideas, igniting the most brilliant sparks.

"So this is the correct way?"

"You can multitask with the sword, even forming a celestial trap?"

"Encircle three and leave one, strike truth in illusion, deceive the heavens and cross the sea. There’s no reason why military strategy can’t be integrated into it."

"One beam of sword light can create eighty-one variations. How did I not think of this before?"

It must be said that the Tribulation Points true to its reputation of "Breaking Realm" were not ambiguous at all.

Spending 1080 Tribulation Points was well worth it.

Chen Ping stood quietly in place, in a trance, as if he had undergone decades of Sword Control cultivation. Various innovative ideas sprouted like seeds, nourished lightly by rain and dew, finally blooming into the most splendid flowers.

"One moment of enlightenment, mastery in Sword Control Technique achieved."

Chen Ping slightly opened his mouth, and the Jade Cloud Sword in his hand transformed into a rainbow light, which he swallowed into his stomach, turning it into a Sword Pill.

He spat it out, and the rainbow light shot a hundred feet away, majestic and domineering, with such agility.

"Break..."

The sword light unfolded various learned sword techniques like a swimming dragon, moving as fast as lightning, beyond everyone’s sight, arousing exclamations.

With a light shout, Chen Ping caused the rising, changing light to abruptly explode, transforming into three sword rainbows, intertwining sword shadows, striking in a Three Talents Array, piercing back and forth, and a slight tremor suddenly split into nine.

"Nine Palace Sword Array."

Chen Ping’s nine sword lights sometimes disappeared, sometimes reappeared, laying down an intricate and divine sword net in the air.

This sword net, composed of nine sword lights either virtual or real, seemed to interpret the profound mysteries of heaven and earth in the ever-changing reality.

At this moment, the entire hundred feet of void seemed scored with numerous black cracks by the sword light. As Chen Ping opened his mouth to inhale, converting the sword light back into a Sword Pill and swallowing it, the sword marks in the void lingered for a while before gradually fading.

"Swords leaving marks in the void, Sword Intent materializing."

Beside him, Ji Mingyue’s voice of amazement sounded.

Holding a newly brewed cup of Queshe Tea, she was so astonished that she almost knocked over the tea cup.

"This is just unbelievable."

Instead, she couldn’t even understand the method of dividing one sword light into nine, forming a sword net attack, not knowing how it was accomplished at all.

Without sufficient comprehension of the Sword Control Technique,

she could only assume it was because the sword light was too fast, generating afterimages.

"Leaving marks in the void is nothing special. As long as you continue to practice Sword Control Technique, you’ll achieve it eventually. It’s merely gathering Sword Intent from void to material."

Chen Ping was slightly proud yet somewhat regretful.

This level of swordsmanship was now so advanced that even a sword genius like Little Mingyue couldn’t understand it.

Truly lofty and unmatched, high and solitary!

"But those nine beams of sword light, did you see them? They aren’t illusions; every beam is real..."

"How is that possible?"

Ji Mingyue finally realized.

If one sword light turns into nine, and each beam as powerful as a Spirit Sword’s strike, it would be like nine persons against one, forming an array of endless variations...

If she were within its range, she wouldn’t even know how to parry, being sliced into pieces instead.

"Yes, that’s it."

Chen Ping exhaled a long breath.

That’s how to complete the show-off.

Seeing Little Mingyue’s agape expression,

he chuckled and said: "Unfortunately, I’ve just recently comprehended the Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation swordsmanship. I can only generate nine beams of sword light; with more practice, it wouldn’t be impossible to split into eighty-one."

"Gulp..."

Chen Ping clearly heard the sound of the little girl’s swallowing.

She was surely envious.

Couldn’t help but laugh to himself.

He knew that Ji Mingyue had no other hobbies but an immense passion for Sword Techniques. Ever since teaching her the Sword Control Technique, she treasured it dearly, studying it tirelessly day and night.

To such an extent that she even postponed her time refining Spirit Stones and advancing her True Qi Realm.
