Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill

No matter the sect, all of them manage their secret technique manuals very strictly.

This is necessary.

Chu Feng nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood. Then he asked with curiosity, "Senior, do you know who was the first person to handle the Fiery Flame Peak’s centennial volcanic eruption without dying?"

He was really too curious about this question.

Chu Feng was able to survive because he had subdued the Crimson Refining Strange Fire beneath the magma. Could it be that the other person, who also survived, obtained an Abnormal Fire?

If that was truly the case, then Fiery Flame Peak would indeed be a precious land that nurtures Abnormal Fires.

It would definitely be worth it for Chu Feng to explore the bottom of the magma once he grows strong in the future.

"The first person who did not die was the founder and Sect Master of our sect. In those days, the Sect Master, relying on his powerful cultivation, managed to stand firm against the terrifying might and high temperature of the erupting magma."

"Alright, hurry up and go inside!"

After saying this, the old man closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.

Faintly visible were two streams of white mist, inhaling and exhaling from his nostrils, wandering about restlessly.

On the old man’s body, Chu Feng could feel an extremely profound Sword Intent. However, it was clearly a level below the Qiankun Sword Technique that he had acquired.

The first Sect Master, not only did he cultivate the supremely unparalleled Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, but he also withstood the eruption of a volcano with his flesh and blood. Chu Feng could not help but click his tongue in wonder, estimating that the first Sect Master’s cultivation might have possibly reached the Sword God Realm.

But this was just Chu Feng’s speculation.

Becoming a Sword God is incredibly difficult.

Chu Feng entered the third level of the Sword Pavilion and saw rows upon rows of shelves holding secret technique manuals. These shelves were one whole unit, like a winding dragon, coiling throughout the entire third level of the Sword Pavilion.

Its surface shimmered with streaks of starlight, a silvery black in color.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it should be forged from the exceedingly precious and renownedly tough Star Steel.

In each cubicle, various cultivation techniques and secret manuals were placed.

Even though the windows of the cubicles were made of semi-transparent Glazed Jade, ground and crafted to seal the entire cubicle, one could see golden fine lines within the Glazed Jade.

This was certainly not ordinary Glazed Jade but was refined a second time by a skilled refining master.

Its defensive capability should be no worse than modern blast-resistant glass.

At the very least, if enemies were to break into the third level of the Sword Pavilion, trying to steal the secret technique manuals inside would be extremely difficult. With Chu Feng’s vision and experience, he could be certain that this type of Glazed Jade could withstand a full-force strike from a Sword Saint without being destroyed.

Even if subjected to an extremely powerful attack and shattered, it could still protect the secret technique manuals inside.

The secret technique manuals stored on the third level were no less than two or three hundred volumes in number.

Not to mention that each one is a gem, but to be housed on the third level, they definitely all have their own merits.

"Sword Qi cultivation category!"

"Sword meridian cultivation category!"

"Sword Control category!"

"Sword technique category!"

...

Chu Feng took a brief glance and was dazzled by the variety. He wanted every kind.

"Don’t bite off more than you can chew; I have yet to reclaim the Nine Yang Sword Veins, so I can rule out Sword Qi cultivation, sword meridian cultivation... all these for now. Even if I choose them, I won’t be able to cultivate them at the moment."

"As for sword techniques, I already have the Glazed Sword Technique and the Qiankun Sword Technique, one defensive and one offensive, complementing each other perfectly, like a spear and a shield. So, I do not need any from the sword technique category either."

Chu Feng, as an ancient Alchemy Venerate with thousands of years of life, possessed a level of mentality and decision-making ability that was beyond what any ordinary youth could have.

He felt that he could choose from the Sword Control Technique secret technique manuals.

With the same Beginner Level Sword Master’s First Level cultivation, and the same Sword Qi, if one knew a profound Sword Control Technique, the power unleashed would be much greater. Even doubling it wouldn’t be considered strange.

Only a Great Sect like the Ten Thousand Sword Sect would possess Sword Control Technique secret technique manuals.

Chu Feng found a total of thirteen Sword Control Technique secret books. After several rounds of selection, he finally narrowed it down to three manuals.

The first one, called the Radiant Sky Sword Control Skill, could instantly infuse all Sword Qi into the Treasure Sword, causing it to unleash its most powerful strength, even allowing one to kill enemies above one’s own level.

The second one, named the Wind God Sword Technique, emphasized speed and agility, conserving a lot of Sword Qi. At the same time, it ensured that each sword strike’s power did not diminish. This Sword Control Technique greatly interested Chu Feng.

In battle, staying power is extremely important, allowing one to easily wear down some opponents stronger than oneself.

The third one, called the Asura Swordsmanship, was a Sword Control Technique centered around slaughter. It was straightforward, focusing on how to kill an enemy in one move. Within it were techniques like Sword Qi that penetrated armor and Sword Qi that could explode mid-air, and so forth.

This manual also deeply excited Chu Feng, even surpassing the previous two.

Because cultivating the Sword Dao was originally for the purpose of slaying enemies.

Efficiently killing enemies could greatly reduce some risks and allow one to possess battle prowess far exceeding those in the same level.

Chu Feng was certain that if he cultivated this Asura Swordsmanship, he would definitely become a killing machine on the battlefield. Wherever he went, blood would flow into rivers, and bones would pile up like mountains.

"Eh, this secret book isn’t categorized?" Deep in Chu Feng’s bones was a man’s innate curiosity and adventurous spirit.

He discovered that next to the Sword Control Technique secret books, there was an independent compartment.

Inside, a very ancient tortoise shell secret book lay quietly. Each character was engraved on the tortoise shell, and the writing on it was also extremely ancient pictographic characters.

In the Ancient Era, both the turtle and the elephant were regarded as sacred beasts.

Symbolizing auspiciousness.

"Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill?"

After seeing the name of the secret book, Chu Feng was even more astonished.

Others may not understand the meaning behind the phrase "sky-reaching," but he was very clear. It was not as simple as just being domineering.

Sky-reaching, within the Sword Dao, refers to the Tongtian Sect Master. In ancient myths, this person possessed the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and commanded the Execution Immortal Sword Formation.

He was the only person among all the Saints who had the ability to slay Saints on his own.

This was also one of the main reasons why he was besieged by other Saints during the Divine Enthronement battle.

Imagine this: all Saints with the Five Qi Chaoyuan and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, possessing bodies that would not be destroyed by ten thousand tribulations, immortal, but there was one person who could threaten their own lives.

The other Saints would certainly not feel at ease.

Thus, they joined forces to scheme against the Tongtian Sect Master, vowing to destroy the Execution Immortal Sword Formation in his hands.

Seeing the name of this secret book, Chu Feng’s heart pounded wildly; he might have stumbled upon a treasure.

Many Sword Cultivators focus only on the cultivation of Sword Qi and Sword techniques, neglecting the importance of the swords they use.

This is a huge mistake.

They believe that the sword is an external object, while only cultivation truly belongs to them.

Yet Chu Feng held the belief that the sword was a lethal weapon for killing enemies, as well as a vessel for one’s essence and spirit. A formidable Sword Cultivator always has one faith: if the sword exists, so does the person; if the sword is destroyed, the person perishes.

The Sword Nourishing Technique would allow Chu Feng to understand the sword better and make his Treasure Sword increasingly more powerful.

"It’s a pity, one can only choose one of them. I’ll pick this Sky-reaching Sword Cultivation Skill!" Chu Feng decided to learn this secret book first and then, after achieving great merits in the future, come back to choose the Asura Swordsmanship that had caught his eye.
