Invincible Beyond Heavens: Cultivating With A Broken EXP System Chapter 422: Soul Sword Control Art!

The Soul Sword Control Art was different from ordinary sword techniques. Ordinary sword arts focused on the body, qi, sword force, and sword intent, but this sword art emphasized controlling the sword with the soul. By attaching soul power to the sword, the cultivator could control the sword from a distance and execute all kinds of unpredictable attacks.

According to the records that ca with the sword array, the Soul Sword Control Art was an ancient sword art. Without this art, it would be almost impossible to properly control a sword array like the Violet Shadow Sword Array. Because of this, the middle-grade Earth Rank Soul Sword Control Art had been placed together with the sword array.

However, this sword art placed extrely harsh demands on the soul.

Not only did the cultivator need strong soul power, but their control over soul power also had to reach an almost abnormal level. Ordinary people would never be able to et such conditions.

Out of ten thousand cultivators, perhaps only one person could successfully cultivate the Soul Sword Control Art. As for those who could cultivate it to a higher realm, they were even rarer.

However, Li Yun was different.

Because his spirit soul had advanced again and again through his system, his soul strength had long surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Coupled with his astonishing comprehension ability, cultivating the Soul Sword Control Art would naturally not be too difficult for him.

Li Yun imdiately released a thin strand of soul power from his spirit soul and carefully attached it to one of the Violet Shadow Swords.

Boom!

The instant his soul power entered the Violet Shadow Sword, Li Yun felt his entire body tremble. For a brief mont, it was as if his flesh, blood, bones, and senses had vanished, and he had transford into the sword itself.

That feeling was extrely strange.

A person turning into a sword was not sothing ordinary cultivators could endure. If soone with weaker willpower experienced this sensation, their mind might collapse from the shock and confusion.

Li Yun was better than most, but even for him, freely controlling the Violet Shadow Sword was not easy at first.

Swoosh!

With only a slight movent of his thoughts, the Violet Shadow Sword trembled violently. A sharp burst of Sword Qi shot out and tore a hole straight through his tent.

"The Soul Sword Control Art truly deserves to be called an ancient sword art. Cultivating it is far from simple."

Li Yun shook his head, withdrew that strand of soul power, then left the tent and found a secluded place with no one nearby before continuing to cultivate the Soul Sword Control Art.

Five days passed.

In an empty valley, a violet longsword moved through the air with changing speed and rhythm. Sotis it tumbled up and down, sotis it weaved left and right, sotis it trembled rapidly, and sotis it stopped in midair without moving at all. Under Li Yun’s control, the sword perford one difficult maneuver after another, as if it had beco a living thing.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the violet longsword erupted with a streak of purple Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi swept forward and cleanly sliced through a massive tree that was thick enough for ten people to embrace. A mont later, the enormous tree collapsed to the ground with a heavy crash.

"The first realm of the Soul Sword Control Art is complete."

Not far away, a faint smile appeared on Li Yun’s face.

After five days of cultivation, Li Yun had finally crossed the threshold and successfully mastered the first realm of the Soul Sword Control Art.

The Soul Sword Control Art had a total of seven realms. At the first realm, one could control a single sword. At the second realm, one could control ten swords at the sa ti. At the third realm, one could control a hundred swords, and at the fourth realm, one could command a thousand swords.

Once a cultivator reached the fifth realm, they could control ten thousand swords at once, while the sixth realm allowed them to command one hundred thousand precious swords.

As for the peak seventh realm, a single thought could command a million swords at the sa ti. Such power could truly be called monstrous.

Of course, every realm of the Soul Sword Control Art was extrely difficult to cultivate. Even the most basic first realm was enough to block countless geniuses outside the gate and prevent them from ever stepping onto this path.

Only a special existence like Li Yun, who possessed the extraordinary soul power and a divine eye that could see through all things, could master the first realm of the Soul Sword Control Art in only five days.

Afterward, Li Yun continued cultivating.

This ti, he divided his soul consciousness into two separate strands and attached each strand to a different Violet Shadow Sword.

The mont he tried to control two swords at once, a strong sense of disorientation rushed into his mind.

It was similar to writing with one hand. Almost anyone could do it after so practice, but if a person were asked to write with both hands at the sa ti, the difficulty would rise sharply. If they were then asked to paint with the left hand while writing calligraphy with the right, it would beco sothing ordinary people could not accomplish at all.

Controlling one sword and controlling two swords at the sa ti followed the sa principle, but the difficulty was countless tis higher.

Li Yun was not impatient. Like a child learning to walk, he began adapting to the process step by step with calm patience.

Because he possessed the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye, his control over soul power was extrely strong. Multitasking was not too difficult for him, and once he adapted to the feeling of dividing his soul consciousness, controlling multiple swords at once would no longer be a serious problem.

After one day, he could control two swords at the sa ti.

After three days, he could control three swords at once.

After five days, he could control five Violet Shadow Swords simultaneously, and each sword could move independently without interfering with the others.

After ten days, he could finally control all ten Violet Shadow Swords at the sa ti.

At this point, Li Yun had successfully reached the second realm of the Soul Sword Control Art.
