Chapter 3196: Chapter 1626: The Book of Answers, Sword Observation Manual, The Path Erges from Within, The Eighth Immortal_2
“Sword Observation Manual,” is way too personal!
But its approach is wildly unconventional, reaching an extre!
It mainly interprets the relationships and transformations that arise from the fusion of the Nine Major Sword Techniques under the self-awareness of Bazhun’an, crossing and integrating various realms to push towards the end of the path, attempting to knock on that door.
It begins on the ground, but only offers a pole and says “climb up,” then proceeds to hack its way through the clouds above.
Heaven is high and Bazhun’an is indeed not undeservedly famous!
Of course, the concept and the actual manual itself cannot be compared; to even manage to sowhat correlate them without drawing a conclusion is terrifying enough.
...
A genius’s way of thinking must be peculiar.
To expect Bazhun’an to write a perfect foundation for the Path, he’s likely to simply respond with “I’ve written it.”
If you inquire further.
It might well be that the bamboo pole is what he considers to be the grand boulevard everyone can ascend to heaven on!
“Before it was not suitable for .”
“Now, it’s a little bit compatible, no, a billionth of a bit!”
Like an unexpected joy, Xu Xiaoshou found that everything written in the “Sword Observation Manual,” including the examples given offhand.
Are exactly what he’s lacking!
It’s all Sword Technique Expertise and Way of the Sword Disc, the kind that only gives you the basics of “0” and “1,” not the advanced frawork—the opposite answer!
Xu Xiaoshou doesn’t have ti to study the Way of the Sword; he needs these ready-made answers.
And isn’t it a “perfect match” for his current desire to awaken the youthful version of Bazhun’an with Bazhun’an’s sword?
He had originally intended to glance over it and be done.
Now, Xu Xiaoshou has dedicated a strand of his consciousness to this ancient book world, confronting Cursed Yin outside while looking at the part about the emotion sword technique.
Yes, he lacks the “life experience” relevant to this part too.
But experiences can be created!
If all else fails, use the mories from Soul Reading, or even Bazhun’an’s, that would work too.
Even his own peculiar life experience of “two lives as a person” must be rare and extre.
And isn’t extre perhaps indicative of the possibility of finding a thought-worthy answer in Bazhun’an’s unconventional ways and applying it to the Way of the Sword?
He soon saw Bazhun’an’s original words in the “Sword Observation Manual”:
“The Path has no size; the phases have no hierarchy.”
“Water can form rivers, tears can carry emotions.”
Two simple sentences, like a resounding bell that stirs the mind, triggering endless thoughts.
It could be an expanse of water, a tsunami, the Aqueous Ink World, an embodied attack…
But it shouldn’t be limited to these, it could also be tears conveying emotion, raising to the level of the soul, the consciousness, rising to the true height of emotion sword technique…
Flood Abyss Island!
Terrible as it was back then.
Now, Xu Xiaoshou couldn’t help but think, “Upanishad Water Ghost, not that impressive after all.”
And these texts were written by Bazhun’an over thirty years ago!
“Secular Sword is utmost, yet it is but the appearance of Sword God.”
“Dripping Water Carves Stone, can also gently knock to slowly open the Mystical Gate.”
As he read these two sentences, Xu Xiaoshou nearly forgot that there was an evil god on defense before him, his spirit nearly pulled in, absorbed by the words.
From Bazhun’an’s perspective, from the start to the end, the Red Dust Phase is not the strongest; all phases are equal.
Just as Master Siren succeeded in cultivating Unity of ntor and Disciple to rival Secular Sword.
This viewpoint is acknowledged by most ancient swordsn and even Spiritual Cultivators today.
But the problem is, knowing is one thing, yet nearly no one truly practices it with their body and soul!
Xu Xiaoshou pondered deeply.
After Master Siren’s sanctification, his state seed sohow off.
Subjectively, he should believe in the future potential of Unity of ntor and Disciple, yet subconsciously, he still clings to old ways, feeling that this path leads nowhere.
This manifests as him losing direction, unsure if Heart Sword Technique can progress further, unsure if Unity of ntor and Disciple can lead him to the third realm, thus falling into confusion and halting.
The sa is true for Rao Yaoyao.
Indeed, she walked the purest path, majoring in emotion sword technique; before her death, she also cultivated the Red Dust Phase, Mountains and Seas Converge, and so on.
Yet she didn’t seem powerful, and the outco was death!
Why?
Searching for answers in the “Sword Observation Manual,” Rao Yaoyao went down a rabbit hole.
The Red Dust Phase, Mountains and Seas Converge, are indeed the highest expressions of the Secular Sword, Forget about emotions.
But to rush towards these two goals from the start, even if one could accelerate growth and succeed, in essence, one ends up with two “sword skills” that are only superficial.
Yes, in the “Sword Observation Manual,” “phase” and “vanish” are rely listed as sword skills, akin to Li Fuyu’s “Fifty-four Sword Steps” kill.
The emotion sword technique primarily focuses on emotion; it’s an expression naturally revealed by deep emotions, not the understanding of the “True Will” by just cultivating a phase and a vanish.
“The Path is the tool; use the tool to control others, not let the tool control .”
Xu Xiaoshou felt a chill all over, looking back at the next sentence “Dripping Water Carves Stone, can also gently knock to slowly open the Mystical Gate,” he couldn’t help but sigh and grip his fist in sympathy for Elder Gu.
Mystical Gate, as everyone inherently perceives it, is sothing to be broken through forcefully, like striving towards the status of tenth level Holy Emperor.
Bazhun’an’s mindset is very grounded; go with the flow, the Mystical Gate can also be slowly, bit by bit pushed open, until it’s imbued with divine light, transforming into immortal and ascending.
“What ‘phase’ was Bazhun’an cultivating?”
Xu Xiaoshou felt no more ti to read on, now hung up on the sudden question that erged.
He felt without the answer to this question, defeating Cursed Yin would be dull and clear.
Yes!
I just want to copy the standard answer!
I just don’t want to take the long way around; I want to blaze through the wild path, my way has already been trampled by others, might as well be recklessly bad!
Seeking answers with a question.
With just a glance at the “Sword Observation Manual,” Xu Xiaoshou broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he too was overthinking.
