Chapter 348 347: Condensing the Sword Pattern
Inside the Cultivation Room, Ling Fei was lost in thought, contemplating how to condense a Sword Dao Mystical Pattern.
Should he merge his various Sword Dao Mysticals, or keep them separate?
Ling Fei contemplated.
This was crucial for his future cultivation path.
One wrong step would cut off his path forward, and by the time he realized it, it would be too late to turn back.
That was why many Cultivators remained stuck at this stage for a long time—they needed to fully comprehend their own Mysticals.
This was especially true for Sword Cultivators, who often comprehended a variety of Sword Intents. Choosing which to keep, sorting them out, and reaching a complete understanding all required a process.
Within Ling Fei's mind lay a Sword Dao Mystical Seed.
This seed contained numerous Sword Intents.
However, the Sword Intents had yet to take form and were still in a state of extreme disarray.
What Ling Fei needed to do now was untangle the Sword Intents within.
'Separate or merge?' While thinking, Ling Fei also began deducing the various future possibilities for his Sword Dao Mystical.
'The Celestial River Nine Swords... what exactly is its Mystical?'
With the Celestial River Nine Swords, one comprehended the Mystical of the Sword River—a great river surging, its waves turbulent, rolling in one after another.
The momentum of the Celestial River Nine Swords was truly extraordinary.
However, Ling Fei had also fused True Dragon Intent into it, making it even more powerful.
'How should I develop this Mystical of the Celestial River in the future?' This was a question Ling Fei was forced to consider.
Condensing the Mystical Technique Pattern was directly related to the future development of his Divine Techniques.
With a single thought, the scene from when he first comprehended the Celestial River Nine Swords flooded his mind. It was as if Ling Fei had returned to the Sword Wall at Celestial River Academy.
The Celestial River was vast, as wide as the sea. The great river surged, its current like crashing waves.
As he once again perceived the momentum of the Celestial River, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit was immersed in a sensation akin to facing the Great Dao itself.
Now, as he carefully perceived it, his reverence for the Celestial River deepened.
'A great river's current is unstoppable—this is the Power of Heaven and Earth. The river is like a sea, and beyond the Celestial River lies the great ocean... A river is also water, and the Mystical of Water is infinite, capable of endless transformations. The Celestial River Nine Swords could become...' After this period of perception, Ling Fei gained a new understanding of the Celestial River's momentum.
His vision was clearly no longer confined to the Celestial River Nine Swords.
'The scope of the Celestial River Nine Swords is too small. It should be the Celestial River Sword. The Celestial River can give rise to infinity. When the river moves, waves rise. In stillness, it is as quiet as a maiden; in motion, it is a torrential flood of savage beasts...' This continuous enlightenment gave Ling Fei a much deeper understanding of the Celestial River Sword Technique. Now, the Mystical of the Celestial River Nine Swords within his Sword Dao Mystical Seed was gradually clarifying and beginning to condense, about to form a Sword Pattern. Upon closer inspection, this Sword Pattern looked just like a great river.
Ling Fei's entire enlightenment regarding the Celestial River Sword merged into the Sword Pattern.
As the Sword Pattern condensed, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit could clearly sense the transformation.
'When the Sword Pattern condenses, it must merge with the heart, the body, and the spirit!' The Key Points of the Celestial Pill Realm rushed into Ling Fei's mind.
Condensing a Sword Pattern was all about laying a foundation for one's Sword Dao Mystical.
'The Sea of Consciousness contains only the Power of Soul; it cannot serve as the foundation for the Sword Dao. Only the Dantian will suffice. The Profound Pill Essence Qi within the Dantian is immense, and it can constantly absorb external Essence Qi to replenish itself. Moreover, the Heart Spirit is first conceived within the Primordial Pill; it contains a person's very spirit, as if merging with the divine.'
'Only by integrating the Sword Pattern into the Primordial Pill can one truly establish the foundation for a Mystical,' Ling Fei murmured.
At this moment, he finally understood the core principle of the Celestial Pill Realm.
'Condense my Celestial River Sword Pattern and guide it into the Primordial Pill.' Ling Fei's Heart Spirit took control. The moment the Celestial River Sword Pattern formed, he guided it into his Dantian.
HUMMM!
Under the guidance of Ling Fei's Heart Spirit, the Celestial River Sword Pattern flashed out from his Sea of Consciousness, appearing as if it had been peeled away from the Sword Dao Mystical Seed.
The next moment, the Sword Pattern flashed and disappeared into his Dantian.
As the Sword Pattern submerged into his Dantian, a vast, formless ripple spread out.
'Merge!' The instant the Sword Pattern entered his Dantian, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit moved in tandem, guiding it to merge with his Profound Pill.
Only then could it be considered a true fusion with his body and Heart Spirit.
This way, the Sword Pattern and the Primordial Pill would grow together, fostering a more harmonious fusion. For a Cultivator, this was an incredibly important step.
The Sword Pattern was drawn forward. Since it already contained a part of Ling Fei's Heart Spirit, their auras were compatible, and it steadily approached the Profound Pill.
Finally, the river-like Sword Pattern was guided into the Profound Pill. The moment it entered, the nascent Heart Spirit gestating within the pill began to emanate outwards.
The Heart Spirit spread, infusing the Sword Pattern and merging with it.
Soon, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit had completely infused the Sword Pattern.
'Merge with the body. The Profound Pill is already gestating Spiritual Sense, like it's birthing a new life. The Sword Pattern must fuse with the Profound Pill.' With a command from his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei continued to guide the process, attempting to merge the Sword Pattern into the Profound Pill.
The Profound Pill was a mystical thing. Inside it, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit was like a sovereign, and so the process of guiding the Sword Pattern was exceptionally successful.
The Sword Pattern spread, poised to merge into the Profound Pill.
But just as it began to merge, Sword Qi erupted from within it. The immense Power threatened to tear the Profound Pill asunder.
'I have to suppress the Sword Pattern's Power?' Ling Fei's eyes narrowed. With a command from his Heart Spirit, he immediately brought the Sword Pattern's Power under control.
'The sword follows the heart's command!' His Heart Spirit suffused the area, exerting all its might to control the Sword Pattern. The vast Sword Intent began to subside.
The Sword River grew calm, elegant and beautiful.
This, too, was a manifestation of the Mystical of the Celestial River.
Gradually, a mystical connection formed between the Sword Pattern and Ling Fei's Profound Pill.
The power of the Profound Pill and the Power of Heart and Soul merged completely.
Time flowed on.
Meanwhile, Ling Fei's Profound Pill was quietly transforming.
Patterns began to appear on the surface of the Profound Pill, continuously condensing.
Upon closer inspection, it looked as if a Sword River was coiled around it, and one could faintly sense a restrained Sword Intent within the tranquil river.
It was the Sword Intent of the river.
'I succeeded!' As the Sword Pattern fused onto his Profound Pill, Ling Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had now officially stepped into the Celestial Pill Realm.
Through his Heart Spirit, Ling Fei could clearly sense the complete fusion between the Sword Pattern and his Profound Pill.
The Sword Pattern, now attached to the Pill, could easily mobilize the Power within the Profound Pill.
This meant the Sword Pattern was now empowered by the Profound Pill's Power. When facing an enemy, the explosive force it could unleash would be incomparable to that of the Profound Pill Realm.
The Profound Pill Realm was about increasing the Power of the Profound Pill.
The Celestial Pill Realm, however, was about condensing a Mystical Technique Pattern to enhance one's offensive Power.
The Profound Pill is the foundation of Power.
The Mystical of Martial Arts is the foundation of combat. Only by combining the two can one grow ever stronger.
It could be said that the strength of the Celestial Pill Realm was far beyond what the Profound Pill Realm could match.
'The Nascent Soul Realm has nine layers, with one Mystical for each. I've now condensed the Celestial River Sword Pattern. Next, it's time to condense the other Mystical Technique Patterns.'
This was all in preparation for stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.
'Meteor Sword Technique!' Ling Fei quickly locked onto the Meteor Sword Technique as his next target.
It was a powerful Sword Dao Mystical.
However, before condensing it into a Sword Pattern, he had to consider its potential for future development.
'A meteor streaking across the Void represents extreme speed. When it passes and strikes, it can shatter mountains. It is also unstoppable, representing Power... A meteor is not limited to a single Mystical; it can transform into infinity.' In Ling Fei's mind, the Meteor Sword Map materialized, replaying the scene of a meteor streaking across the Void.
This was the Meteor Sword Manual he had obtained from his Martial Vein.
'A meteor encompasses many things. If I am to condense a Mystical Technique Pattern, it must possess infinite potential. Therefore, I will condense a Meteor Mystical Technique Pattern.'
With a thought, Ling Fei began to comprehend the Meteor Sword Manual, preparing to condense the Meteor Mystical Technique Pattern.
The Meteor Sword Technique was too limited; it would only hold Ling Fei back.
The Meteor Mystical Technique Pattern, however, was different. It included the Meteor Sword but could also encompass other things, offering infinite possibilities.
