It wasn’t the same thing as holding a sword technique. Perhaps eventually, all roads will lead to Rome, but for now, the two were almost entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wang Sheng could only rely on himself to develop the divine power of the flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few months, he had not been idle; at least he had determined the direction of the Flying Sword Divine Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was no Cultivation Technique, he would rely on what he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing was inherently non-existent; what kind of divine powers it would have still depended on how he operated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing Wang Sheng thought of was the renowned \"All Swords Return to One\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Swords Return to One could be considered a top-tier swordsmanship in many worlds, a sky-obscuring rain of swords that was oppressive just by sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, generally speaking, All Swords Return to One would require the use of many swords—after all, \"All Swords\" was not just a figure of speech. It was far beyond what he could achieve with a single sword now, and even the term itself was a bit premature for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, according to his own idea, achieving \"All Swords\" didn’t necessarily require thousands or tens of thousands of swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If All Swords Return to One could only be used when reaching \"All Swords\", the limitations would be too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Control Technique is not such an inconvenient thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wang Sheng thought of other things, such as Divided Light Sword Shadow, Spiritual Power Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One sword becomes all swords, and all swords are one sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides All Swords Return to One, there were other sword techniques, such as summoning a heaven-reaching giant sword to bring about destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all Sword Control Techniques could not do without one thing: the power of Sword Control, which is the strength of Sword Control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng’s power was controlling swords with divine thought; divine thought was his Sword Control Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the power of Sword Control, there was the sword itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful flying sword would significantly enhance one’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he possessed both the power of Sword Control and the flying sword, there was no need to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was where to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Wang Sheng decided to start with the Sword Transformation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the technique of one sword transforming into many. Whether it be Divided Light Sword Shadow or Spiritual Power Sword, succeeding in one would be considered a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first thing to determine is that in transforming one sword into many, the multitude of swords must be based on one sword; it can’t be a simple transformation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As common knowledge goes, Sword Control Technique and flying swords are essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If after transforming into many swords, the multitude of swords has nothing to do with the flying sword itself, then what’s the use of the flying sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in transforming into many swords, it is certainly necessary to link the \"multitude of swords\" with the \"one sword\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, transforming into many swords requires creating flying sword avatars, not just simple \"sword shapes\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just sword shapes, how simple would that be? He could do that now, or even earlier with Qi Blood Power. Even a Grandmaster with a bit more cultivation experience could manage it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching Grandmaster, the manipulation of Qi Blood Power is not limited to one aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such sword shapes obviously didn’t meet Wang Sheng’s standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sword Transformation Technique is related to the flying sword itself, indeed not so simple!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had anticipated it, the difficulty still exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he previously studied the Jade Scroll, he had a \"sample\" to refer to, so many questions could be resolved by finding solutions or even answers from the \"sample\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the Sword Transformation Technique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no reference at all and could only rely on himself, not even a progress bar could be utilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using the progress bar for so long, he had basically figured out some aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progress bar was powerful, but it couldn’t assign a progress bar to something that didn’t exist to level it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Sword Transformation Technique could only depend on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Generally speaking, for the Sword Transformation Technique, one uses their own power to create many swords. My power is divine thought and Qi Blood Power, so I can start from these two aspects. But it still needs to connect with the flying sword...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Wang Sheng was at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creating something from nothing was always the hardest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could mention many moves off the top of his head and even describe many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to practical application, many difficulties arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, let’s start by trying to construct a flying sword with divine thought and Qi Blood Power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine thought is formless, but it exists substantially. Combining it with Qi Blood Power to construct a controllable flying sword should pose no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything must be approached one step at a time; the first step is to construct the flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng didn’t attempt this in the village but went directly to his usual spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he often went there to test new methods, the surrounding animals had basically all fled, and the plants were almost destroyed by his techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, that place was very suitable for experimenting with various new methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the flying sword was still quite fast, and it didn’t take long for him to reach the position. Then he quickly constructed a Qi Blood Flying Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the control of Divine Thought, the Qi Blood Flying Sword instantly flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destructive power was not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng controlled his own flying sword behind him, infused it with Qi Blood Power, and then flew it out in the same manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destruction it caused was unknowable amounts greater than that of the Qi Blood Flying Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having a carrier, the Qi Blood Power was much stronger than Qi Blood Power without a carrier, whether the carrier was a fist or an ordinary weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take flying swords for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a Qi Blood Flying Sword was simply the power of Qi Blood Power plus the power of a flying sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he were using the flying sword he had forged, then it would be the power of the flying sword + Qi Blood Power + the power of Divine Thought. The sword itself was also a method to enhance power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as I suspected…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had anticipated this, Wang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own concept of the Sword Transformation Technique was far from sufficient; he didn’t even entertain the notion of constructing more Qi Blood Flying Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the power wasn’t up to standard, such \"sword transformation\" techniques would be a mere waste of his Qi Blood Power. It seemed like an entirely pointless waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just give up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Sword Control Technique was not limited to just the \"All Swords Return to One\" system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All Swords\" is a Divine Power, and naturally, \"One Sword\" is also possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were Divine Powers for a single-flying sword as well. He needed to research them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s try one more time. If it really doesn’t work, then I’ll change direction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His research into Flying Sword Divine Power was primarily aimed at complementing his combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying swords, controlled by Divine Thought, freed up his hands and did not conflict with his gun techniques or boxing techniques; they could be used concurrently in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if a technique required his hands to control the sword, he wouldn’t research it; it would just end up being a clumsy mix with his gun techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he could already simply achieve simultaneous use of gun techniques and flying swords since controlling flying swords with Divine Thought was not a daunting task. Multitasking was simple for him, who possesses great Divine Thought power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time the flying sword could only perform basic attacks under control. It didn’t have skills, so it was more of a basic attack, at most causing some harassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Wang Sheng wanted to research Flying Sword Divine Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he had now hit a bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But giving up was out of the question. As long as he could grasp the key point, with the help of the progress bar, he would definitely succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, Wang Sheng spent almost a week researching Flying Sword Divine Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That week, aside from the most basic Inner Core Skill and Ba Duan Jin Cultivation, he set aside all other cultivation practices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the final outcome was still zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being more proficient in controlling the flying sword didn’t count because his goal was Flying Sword Divine Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, let’s change the approach for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sword Transformation Divine Power had reached a temporary bottleneck, he decided to try a different direction, though he still felt somewhat unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reluctance seemed to be noticed by Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Wang Sheng, are you troubled by something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng instinctively wanted to shake his head, but in the end, he spilled the beans, \"I’ve hit a bottleneck in the development of a martial technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If possible, could you elaborate on the bottleneck? Maybe I can help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it was related to Flying Sword Divine Power, which had little in common with this world’s Cultivation System, he didn’t think Yue could be of much assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue seemed to sense something but didn’t leave, just watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a look in Yue’s eyes before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he explained his dilemma, \"To put it simply, it’s about how to…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the problem, Yue pondered for a while. Wang Sheng thought Yue was also at a loss, but then Yue spoke, \"Lord Wang Sheng, have you heard of the Blood Refining Technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Blood Refining Technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng shook his head, though he could guess a bit from the name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue continued, \"The Blood Refining Technique may seem a method of the demonic path, but in fact, it is widely used among Martial Artists proficient with weapons. Typically, Seventh-Grade Martial Artists can make use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its utility is simple: it can make weapons and Martial Artists more unified. The weapon carries the power of Qi Blood, and when practiced to a profound level, the Qi Blood also takes on the characteristics of the weapon. The more unique the material of the weapon, the more distinctive the Qi Blood properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such changes are minute and could even be considered a side path with limited use. The primary purpose of the Blood Refining Technique is to achieve unity with the weapon. However, I presume you, Lord Wang Sheng, place more emphasis on the change in properties?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where can I find the Blood Refining Technique?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue smiled and said, \"Lord Wang Sheng, it’s included in the materials I provided you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should be able to assist you, Lord Wang Sheng. I won’t impose any further!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Yue left, leaving Wang Sheng still in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1978,"2026-06-10T05:50:27.795Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c15ef132e923dd12c8f319133159b2d647a6b91366f265678e757af8583e59e","longevity-martial-arts-starting-from-inner-core--chapter-204","longevity-martial-arts-starting-from-inner-core--chapter-202",1305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-martial-arts-starting-from-inner-core--cover.jpg"]
