Chapter 113 - 97: Gu’s Flattery Skills: Luo Shenfu
In the Qi Sea, the Demon Sword slowly transitioned from obscurity to clarity, the Buddha Sword radiated vast golden light, and the Jade Sword remained serene and moderate.
Gu Wen observed the three entirely distinct sword techniques. The Buddha and Demon were inherently incompatible, while the Jade Sword maintained its independence from both.
Magic skills inherently reject each other. Logically, practicing both Buddha and Demon sword techniques together could lead to deviating into madness, and even slightly carelessness could be life-threatening. Although the Jade Sword did not clash with the other two, it couldn’t embrace them either, resulting in a relationship akin to the Flame Spear and Heart Sword.
Not interfering with each other, the sum was not greater than its parts in terms of power and it might even lead to distraction.
One approach to attack was enough. Different types could be seen as diverse, but identical ones were truly dull and regrettable to discard. However, when combined, the Jade Sword mitigated the incompatibility of the Buddha and Demon, thereby connecting with both.
The three stood as equals—the Three Religions uniquely converging.
"What would happen if I practiced all three of Buddha, Tao, and Demon Swords?"
Gu Wen couldn’t help but entertain this thought. He faced a vast gap from the inheritors of the Three Religions, one that couldn’t be bridged overnight.
He didn’t arrogantly believe he could surpass them shortly. Taking Jade Sword Buddha, the little nun, as an example—she nearly reached the sixth level of Daoist foundation and fulfillment. This implied that there indeed existed individuals who could fulfill their Daoist foundation purely based on innate talent without relying on external enhancements.
The inheritor of the Demon Sect had reached the seventh level of Daoist foundation, fulfilling six levels.
