I Have A Special Cultivation Talent

Chapter 209: Leaving the Sword’s Will

Inside the portal, Chen Jingzhai had no idea of what was happening outside.

His foot landed on the fifteenth step, and all he could see were swords.

He thought that the sword of the Five Elements was his sword, but the sword of the Five Elements broke.

He thought that the sword of weight was his sword, but the sword of weight vanished.

He thought that the sword of Yin Yang was his sword, but the sword of Yin Yang disappeared.

He thought that the sword of rivers was his sword, but the sword of rivers slipped away.

Between heaven and earth, there was not a single sword that belonged to him.

Chen Jingzhai was extremely surprised, even confused, and sank into self-doubt.

Just when he was about to lose hope, he thought of his special talent.

Slowly, he realized that his sword had never belonged between heaven and earth.

Just like his path of cultivation, he created a method unto himself so that his sword should not be sought from between heaven and earth but from himself.

After this enlightenment, the celestial bones in Chen Jingzhai’s spine vibrated, and sword vapor on the Five Bamboo Sword generated by itself.

The fusion of a little bit of the sword’s will and the Five Bamboo Sword made Chen Jingzhai an entirely different person.

......

He stood tall and straight. His entire body was like a sword. His eyes were bright, and he took the sixteenth step.

“Good, good, good!

“The sword light quenches the skin, the sword force presses the bone, and the sword vapor generates by itself.

“Well, I am the sword and the sword is me!

“This sword isn’t sought from between heaven and earth. It is meant to be a place between heaven and earth!”

Sage Lu felt a hint of the sword’s will inside the Test of Swords, and suddenly, he burst out laughing.

The Test of Swords was inherently mysterious. It was not just a portal.

Chen Jingzhai’s performance exceeded his expectation, and he was amazed.

Instead of being annoyed, he was overjoyed because there was another one of them in this world now.

And there was another sword!

At this time, the sky was pitch-black. But in Luanyun Mountain Range, the spirit light illuminated the sky as if it was daytime.

Outside the Test of Swords, sages were coming one after another from the sky.

The sword light was dazzling and the sword vapor was ponderous. All the sages stood outside the Test of Swords without moving a muscle.

At this moment, Jin Zetian had recovered his spiritual essence and was standing motionlessly next to Qiao Haisheng.

There was a little bit of envy in his eyes.

Chen Jingzhai’s current state was what he had dreamed of pursuing, as well as the driving force for challenging the Test of Swords.

That was the sword’s will!

If he could comprehend the sword’s will while in the Foundation Establishment Plane, he might climb up to become the first genius talent of Golden Jade Sword Branch.

His future would be smooth sailing!

The sixteenth step was easy-peasy, then the seventeenth, followed by the eighteenth.

He spent about an hour and a half at the fifteenth step, but the next three steps only took him half an hour.

After comprehending the sword’s will, Chen Jingzhai progressed directly from the rudimentary form of the sword’s will to the sword’s will, making an entry.

Being different from Dharma Intent, after the appearance of the sword’s will, Chen Jingzhai’s celestial bones displayed a sharp brilliance.

Especially, the celestial bones of the four limbs, as well as the spine and sternum, were affected very much by the sword’s will.

Although he had created the celestial bones all over his body, the power of the celestial bones had yet to be developed.

The power in the celestial bones of the spine had only been activated superficially.

After the eighteenth step, Chen Jingzhai was able to possess some success in achieving the sword’s will, and it only required a single thought to leave the Test of Swords.

But he didn’t do that. He was far too immersed in it as he continued to practice the sword methods.

The sun went up and down. It was now three days later.

All the inner disciples, deacons, and elders of the Golden Jade Sword Branch were on the outside of the Test of Swords.

When the word “Sword” flashed the golden color, Chen Jingzhai landed on stone steps in one leap.

Behind him was the Test of Swords that belonged to the Golden Jade Sword Branch.

“Congratulations to the Little Master-Uncle for making it out of the Test of Swords! Your name will be left in the swordsmanship from now on. How very fortunate!”

Everyone opened their mouths to relay their congratulations, and the voices converged into one, resounding throughout the mountains.

The Test of Swords also flashed a streamer of light at this time, accurately hitting Chen Jingzhai.

Just when Chen Jingzhai was slightly stunned by this, a method of swordsmanship fell into his heart.

“It is so!

“From this day forward, Chen Jingzhai will leave his name among the swordsmanship.

“My sword could engage all things without failure and kill all beings without sin.”

When Chen Jingzhai finished speaking, the sword’s will flew out from his fingertips and landed on the Test of Swords.

Suddenly, a strange luster was added to the portal, then disappeared.

Buzz!

Upon the Golden Jade Sword Branch, sharp energy rose.

The entire Luo Sheng Sword School could perceive it. Even Su Qinghuang in the Xuanming Cave felt it.

She was so excited that her heart soared and landed on the clouds in the direction facing the Golden Jade Sword Branch.

Daoxuan Peak.

Tianzhu Peak.

Jade Pot Peak.

Tower Peak.

Misty Peak.

Sunset Peak.

At this moment, all major peaks, whether hidden or main, had cultivators whose eyes fastened upon the Golden Jade Sword Branch. This was true even for the Azure Sparrow Sword Branch and the Spot Star Sword Branch.

At this moment, the Golden Jade Sword Branch was a place that was of great importance to the clan.

This sharp energy lasted no more than a quarter of an hour before it disappeared.

Standing on the stone steps, Chen Jingzhai could clearly feel the difference.

The Golden Jade Sword Branch seemed to have become more extraordinary as if its power had increased invisibly out of nowhere.

“Little Master-Uncle has left his name in the swordsmanship and would now be a son belonging to our Golden Jade Sword Branch.

“Henceforth, your karma is tied with us. If you die, the sword will enter the sword grave.

“If you become an immortal, you will be the sword celestial of Golden Jade Sword Branch,” said Sage Lu as he appeared next to Chen Jingzhai, laughing softly.

“I know,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile. “As a son of the sword, can I read through the collection?”

“Of course,” Sage Lu said with a smile. “However, Little Master-Uncle only has ten days. After ten days, you and the other disciples will embark on your journey to the Woods Ocean Ancient Path.”

“Then I have to hurry up!” Chen Jingzhai smiled lightly.

The harvest from this trip was unimaginable to the outsiders.

The sword’s will was only one of them, not even the most precious gain of them all.

Fortunately, he could take everything that was thrown at him and didn’t need much time to digest them.

This was the power of the Test of Swords—obtained naturally, given without force, and easily kept.

After giving another deep and meaningful look at the Test of Swords, Chen Jingzhai followed Sage Lu to the Golden Jade Peak.

After he and Sage Lu left, the disciples and elders alike rushed into Test of Swords, including Qiao Haisheng and Jin Zetian, who were also among them.

“What’s the deal with the Test of Swords?” Chen Jingzhai asked. “This is just one of them?”

“Yes,” Sage Lu explained without any surprise in his eyes. “The Test of Sword is a major treasure handed down by the masters. It is divided into three: heaven, earth, and human. The Golden Jade Sword Branch established the Human Sword.”

The Azure Sparrow Sword Branch was the Earth Sword.

The Spot Star Sword Branch was the Heaven Sword.

Each of the three Test of Swords was an enigma itself. As long as cultivators of Golden Core Sages and below could pass the test, they would definitely become the welcomed guests of the sword branches. Those who left the sword’s will became the son of the sword branches.

It meant that Chen Jingzhai could conduct business in the name of the Golden Jade Sword Branch in the future. Although he was not a listed disciple of the sword branch, he was a sword cultivator who was recognized by the sword branch.

After Chen Jingzhai left the sword’s will, the Test of Swords also presented a sword method to him as some kind of an exchange, indicating another kind of karmic tie. Going forward, Chen Jingzhai would not be regarded as an outsider.

“Can I go to the other two sword tests?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“You could, but Little Master-Uncle won’t gain anything.” Sage Lu shook his head. “The three major sword tests represent three types of swordsmanship. Since you have left your name here, you will not be welcomed elsewhere.”

“Understood!” Chen Jingzhai nodded.

In this battle of sword branches, he was now marked with the brand of the Golden Jade Sword Branch.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he now belonged to the Golden Jade Sword Branch.

Of course, he was still a disciple of Daoxuan Peak and he was still the Little Master-Uncle.

After all, the three major sword branches were different from the other twelve branches. Chen Jingzhai was very clear about the distinctions between them.

In the sword branch, most cultivators would go to challenge the Test of Swords. Therefore, when Sage Lu took Chen Jingzhai up the mountain, everywhere around the palace was empty, looking particularly secluded.

Sage Lu explained to Chen Jingzhai as they walked, “After Master-Uncle left the sword’s will, it will soon evolve in the portal.

“This is the best opportunity for enlightenment, so no one wants

to miss it.

“Usually, everyone is cultivating, and only Golden Jade Platform is more lively.

“Golden Jade Platform is a place where the disciples learn from each other, and there are not many rules.

“Even if you are a disciple, you can challenge the deacons and the elders. Of course, you must be in the same realm.”

Mostly, there were sword cultivators at the Golden Jade Sword Branch. Like disciples from other branches, they would accumulate merit points by doing various tasks in order to exchange some materials for sword cultivation.

So, in normal day-to-day life, there were not many people.

But when it came to the Golden Jade Platform, there would be disciples fighting or they were invited to fight every day.

In addition to the Golden Jade Platform, there were many places in terms of scenery and cultivation places. The number outweighed Daoxuan Peak, which was also an eyeopener to Chen Jingzhai.
