First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 235 "The Sword Scripture of Myriad Manifestations"

"Disciple dares to ask, has that female sword immortal senior achieved immortality?"

The elder guarding the pavilion raised an eyebrow.

This inner disciple's cultivation level is not high, but his tone is quite bold.

Is immortality so easily attained?

"She attempted to use the Ninth Heaven of the Spirit Sea Realm to kill a strong cultivator who had just entered the Yuan Dan Realm... but she was defeated and perished!"

"In that case, the disciple chooses 'The Sword Scripture of Myriad Manifestations.' I trouble the elder."

Shen Mo sighed inwardly.

It's a pity for this talented and stunning female sword immortal!

If she could achieve the Yuan Dan Realm, perhaps he would have a chance to learn sword techniques from her.

However, being able to create the "Sword Art of the Fairy Sword" shows that she is good at taking risks and winning against the strong with the weak.

Although Shen Mo often fights against mid-stage and peak-stage cultivators while only at the Third or Fourth Layer of Qi Gathering Realm...

In essence, it is different!

His ability to win against the strong with the weak is based on investing countless resources, mastering many powerful methods, and having a clear understanding of his own strength.

His true combat power is equivalent to that of a peak-stage cultivator, or even surpasses it.

But, the female sword immortal senior.

It is impossible for her to have a Destiny Panel like him.

Therefore, even though her combat power is outstanding, it will not exceed her own cultivation level by much!

So, using the "Sword Art of the Fairy Sword" to kill even stronger opponents is definitely risky, and she will eventually meet her doom.

While Shen Mo was feeling emotional, the elder guarding the pavilion had already brought "The Sword Scripture of Myriad Manifestations" from the fifth floor.

"It's registered. Take this jade slip."

After handing over the jade slip, the elder guarding the pavilion reminded, "There are restrictions on this jade slip. Once you imprint it with your divine sense, it will self-destruct."

"Remember, do not let others explore this jade slip."

"Of course, if you are buying it for someone else, that's a different story!"

Shen Mo nodded, bowed, and then left the Immortal Arts Tower.

In the short term, he didn't have enough merit points and spirit stones to purchase a spiritual-grade cultivation technique from this tower.

When he accumulated enough over time, he would come back to choose a high-grade spiritual-grade cultivation technique.

It can only be said that after experiencing the power of spiritual-grade cultivation techniques, Shen Mo no longer valued Profound Grade cultivation techniques.

Instead of wasting merit points, spirit stones, and a lot of effort to constantly change cultivation techniques...

It would be better to achieve it in one step!

Directly purchase a spiritual-grade cultivation technique for cultivation.

Even if it is a low-grade spiritual-grade cultivation technique, it is still qualitatively different from a Profound Grade cultivation technique.

And by using the "Martial Arts Practice" to deduce and cultivate it to a profound level, its power should not be underestimated.

Back in his inner sect cave dwelling.

Shen Mo immediately used the Destiny "Martial Arts Practice" to deduce and cultivate "The Sword Scripture of Myriad Manifestations."

As he delved into this cultivation technique.

Shen Mo quickly discovered that his previous speculation was not far off.

"The Sword Scripture of Myriad Manifestations" indeed contains a sword move related to the "Invasion of Heavenly Demons," called "Annihilation of Ten Thousand Demons"!

I wonder which senior expert had such a high spirit and destroyed their own prestige.

If the Annihilation of Ten Thousand Demons really happened, would the Linjiang Sect still survive?

If there is a chance, he would like to meet this powerful expert of the sect.

As for why Shen Mo believed that this person is still alive...

It is because the invasion of Heavenly Demons in the mortal realm, which happened in the Red Flame Kingdom, is a disaster that occurred in the past hundred years.

Without personally experiencing it, it is difficult to grasp the true meaning behind it and create corresponding sword moves.

The one who can cultivate this sword scripture and create this move is probably a senior elder of the Linjiang Sect!

"Numerous natural disasters, anomalies, and landscapes, nothing is excluded!"

"It truly lives up to its name, Myriad Manifestations."

"But many of the sword techniques and moves are too weak. What dog bite, eagle claw, butterfly transformation, water droplet..."

"And they shamelessly bear the name of sword techniques!"

"The senior predecessors who cultivated this sword scripture in the Linjiang Sect are truly eccentric."

Like many sword techniques formed from observing phenomena, the power of the sword moves in it mostly matches their intentions.

Like "Dog Biting Sword," "Dripping Water Sword," "Fierce Wind Sword"...

The sword techniques are not profound, and their power is pitifully weak.

Even the sword postures are somewhat unsightly.

On the other hand, the celestial phenomena generally possess strong power.

For example, "Devastating City," "Annihilating Country," "Mountain Collapse," "Earthquake," "Falling Stars," "Solar Eclipse," and so on, have high intentions and extremely powerful sword techniques.

Even the "World-Destroying Demon" once displayed can make Shen Mo experience the trembling feeling of billions of celestial demons invading the Red Flame Kingdom and annihilating all living beings.

"Generally speaking, those who cultivate this sword manual and create their own sword techniques are even more sharp."

"Among them, there are even various mysterious benefits!"

"But the sword manual contains countless sword techniques, and whatever I can think of, predecessors have already created corresponding sword styles."

"Imagining it out of thin air, I completely cannot grasp the essence and true meaning within!"

If one can create sword techniques solely through imagination and speculation, then Shen Mo could completely create terrifying sword techniques like "Starburst," "Sky Collapse," and "World Annihilation."

But even he himself has never witnessed the true "Starburst."

How can he unleash its power with the three-foot green blade in his hand?

It's nothing more than a delusion!

"For now, let's improve the progress of practicing the 'Myriad Manifestations Sword Manual.' Mastering dozens of powerful sword techniques should be enough!"

"As for creating unique sword techniques, let's talk about it when I have some clues in the future!"

Thinking like this, Shen Mo simultaneously practiced the "Myriad Manifestations Sword Manual" through [Martial Arts].

While doing so, he took out the newly purchased spiritual objects and spiritual medicines, and used the Netherworld Fire and Fire Chi Dan Ding to refine the elixir.

After a few days, he planned to go to Tian Shan City again.

First, to kill the celestial demons and gain military merits.

By exchanging them, he could upgrade the remaining four Dao swords to the Profound Grade top-tier level.

Second, it was to hone many of his techniques and martial skills.

Learning them doesn't mean he can freely display them in battle.

Without actual combat training, many immortal arts and martial skills never work as well as desired.

...

A few days later.

Beside the Lancang River.

Facing the river tide, Shen Mo draped in moonlight, wielding the Demon-Slaying Sword, practiced the "Myriad Manifestations Sword Manual."

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sword light raged, and he seemed to be enveloped in a barrier of sharp blades.

Suddenly, the sword in his hand slowed down.

It was as if the buzzing wings of a bee in a frenzy had turned into a suspended spider silk.

The change from fast to slow was enough to make anyone watching the sword feel frustrated and vomit blood.

But Shen Mo seemed completely unaware, slowly pressing the Demon-Slaying Sword forward, as if it weighed a thousand catties, inch by inch.

"Myriad Manifestations, Open the River!" Shen Mo silently recited.

As he finished speaking, the weight of the sword suddenly pressed down heavily. In an instant, it was as if a crumbling mountain had rolled into the Lancang River.

The river was instantly cut off!

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

Only at this moment did the movement of the sword technique become apparent.

The upstream water of the severed river quickly piled up, reaching a height of hundreds of zhang in the blink of an eye.

But under Shen Mo's "Open the River" sword technique, it was like colliding with a real giant mountain, unable to flow down.

The downstream, on the other hand, lost its river water and quickly dried up. Before long, the riverbed was exposed, filled with aquatic plants, fish, and clams.

Shen Mo's Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand still did not lift.

The Lancang River was constantly being severed between the upstream and downstream.
