Lonely Immortal

So the two things Zhang Wensheng gave were both pretty good. In addition, there was a Qingxuan Immortal Strategy, which was a collection of various spells of the Qingxuan Sect. This thing was also very useful to Zhang Zhiwen, because the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art was just a secret book of swordsmanship, which improved the cultivation of swordsmanship, and did not record various spells. However, this Qingxuan Immortal Strategy recorded a very useful spell at the beginning, which was the weapon control technique!

This weapon control technique was a must-have spell for foundation-building cultivators. Almost any cultivator who reached the foundation-building stage would use the weapon control technique, so the spell itself was not a rare spell, and a magic weapon was naturally needed to match it. The so-called weapon control technique actually included the sword control technique, but there were various sects and various Taoist methods. Some were proficient in alchemy, some were proficient in swordsmanship, and some were proficient in beast control. There were many different methods, and they all came down to the weapon control technique. However, they were essentially the same, all of which were to control the magic weapon to attack or to control the magic weapon to fly.

In addition to this weapon control technique, there are naturally various other spells. For example, Qingxuan Xiance records several common spells, including the fasting technique, dust avoidance technique, rainmaking technique, etc. Most of these spells are commonly used in life, rather than the attack and defense spells of the Qi Refining period. This shows that after the foundation-building cultivators mastered the weapon control technique, they used the weapon control technique for attack and defense. This is also more in line with reality, because the spiritual power in the body of the Qi Refining cultivator is not the magic power, and the so-called magic is just a substitute for the real magic, or even just a substitute for the weapon control technique. The gap between the two is still insurmountable. Therefore, the weapon control technique is actually a spell commonly used by foundation-building cultivators, or it can be called a trick.

Therefore, the record in Qingxuan Xiance is quite clear. Once the weapon control technique is practiced, it can break any spell below the foundation. This seems to be the same as the situation when Zhang Zhiwen encountered several casual cultivators of the Bai family. No matter how powerful the Jianghu masters are, they can still be crushed one-sidedly when facing the immortal family spells. This is a truth.

Therefore, cultivators above the foundation building stage all use weapon control techniques when fighting. Some use sword control, while others use weapons control. All of them require magic weapons. Magic weapons are different from spiritual weapons. With the power of Taoism, they are naturally more powerful. But if there is no magic weapon, spiritual weapons can be used as a substitute. So Zhang Wensheng gave Zhang Zhiwen a top-level spiritual sword. This kind of spiritual sword is not a rare thing in Tianshui Fairyland, but it is better than nothing.

Seeing this weapon control technique, Zhang Zhiwen naturally thought of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art. The Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art has only one move, that is, the Nine Heavens Sword. Apart from this, there are no other moves. It is quite simple, but quite domineering. According to the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, the Nine Heavens Sword has only one sword. Once the sword is out, all laws are destroyed. Gods are killed, and Buddhas are killed. It is invincible!

But Zhang Zhiwen knew what the so-called Nine Heavens Sword was, because once he used the Nine Heavens Sword, the mana in his body would be drained instantly, and this sword came from his natal sword pill. With one sword, either the enemy would die or I would be destroyed!

However, this power must be extremely strong. Zhang Zhiwen even felt that once the Nine Heavens Sword appeared, the second-level cultivators of the foundation building stage would be killed by him. If the Condensation Technique was added, the Nine Heavens Sword might be able to kill the third-level cultivators of the foundation building stage. Of course, the second-level or third-level cultivators of the foundation building stage were ordinary cultivators. If the opponent had various powerful magic weapons, it would not be fun to cooperate with the control of the weapon. In addition, some unique sect magic spells, such as the Spirit Sword Sect, must follow the sword path, and they must also have sword spells, which are also very strong, otherwise how could they be the first sect in Tianshui!

Therefore, in most cases, Zhang Zhiwen could not use the Nine Heavens Sword at will. Therefore, this weapon control technique is very necessary. As for the fasting technique, that is simple and easy.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry. After flipping through the Qingxuan Immortal Strategy, he checked the top-level spiritual weapon that Zhang Wensheng gave him. If this spiritual sword was in Feixian City, it would definitely be a first-class good thing. Unfortunately, this is Tianshui Fairyland. This kind of spiritual weapon is a relatively poor thing. Even the lowest-level foundation-building grade magic weapon is better than this kind of spiritual weapon. After all, a magic weapon is a magic weapon. It has the power of Taoism and can enhance its power. Although this kind of spiritual weapon can also be controlled, it requires the user to inject Taoism power, and this kind of spiritual weapon will also weaken the user's Taoism. The power of the law is a bit like a chef using a rusty kitchen knife to cut vegetables. Even if the knife skills are great, it is probably half the result with twice the effort. Of course, it is better than not having a kitchen knife. Otherwise, releasing other spells will be worse. For example, releasing some high-level spells in the Qi Refining Period, no matter how good it is, it is not as good as letting the magic power attach to the top-level spiritual weapon, because the power of the law is easy to disperse after it is released. Unless the golden elixir is condensed, the power of the law is as tough as a rock. In that case, the power of the spell is naturally very powerful, and there is also a divine consciousness attached, which must be different.

So, no matter how bad it is, it can only make do. Zhang Zhiwen estimates that there should be many cultivators who do not have magic weapons, but Zhang Wensheng does not know whether he has a magic weapon, but now Zhang Zhiwen can practice the art of controlling the weapon.

Thus, Zhang Zhiwen began to control the magic sword. This was the first time Zhang Zhiwen practiced the art of controlling a magic weapon, and he was not used to it, because usually, Qi-refining cultivators would use magic weapons to fight others, so how could they use their spiritual consciousness to control and inject magic power into it? This was like scratching an itch through a shoe, wasn't it a bit of a waste?

But Zhang Zhiwen soon discovered the difference. It was certainly much more stable to fight with a spiritual weapon directly, but the spiritual weapon could not be flexibly controlled. Just like releasing a spell at the beginning, it could be controlled, but it could not be finely controlled, and it was easy to miss the target. However, the weapon control technique was different. Once controlled, it was as easy as a finger. As long as the spiritual consciousness covered the range, the spiritual weapon could reach it. Zhang Zhiwen's spiritual consciousness was quite powerful, covering the range of nine miles. With a thought, the sword intent appeared instantly. With the assistance of the spiritual sword, the power must be much stronger than without a spiritual weapon.

This is the change brought by the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art. If it was the alchemy, it would definitely not be so powerful, and the sword control technique of the alchemy was probably just superficial. The sword control technique without the sword intent must be much worse. Of course, the alchemy has the meaning of the alchemy, and the power cannot be ignored.

So when Zhang Zhiwen started to control the sword, he immediately felt the huge difference brought by the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art. At this moment, he casually sent out a thought, and the spirit sword broke through the air on the spot, rolling up a strong sword intent. Wherever it passed, the air exploded on the spot, and the space was faintly trembling. This was just a small test of Zhang Zhiwen's sword. He didn't use much strength, and used less than 30% of his strength. But even so, Zhang Zhiwen felt that if he faced this sword at the beginning, he would probably die, and he would be killed on the spot.

This is nothing. After the sword control technique was released, the spirit sword was extremely flexible, constantly flying around Zhang Zhiwen at will, and it appeared wherever he wanted it to appear. This is not something that a Qi-refining cultivator can imagine. In other words, this spirit sword can attack, defend, and come with a strong sword intent. This sword intent can be a direct attack, or it can be a kind of spiritual attack with spiritual consciousness!

This is to attack when advancing and defend when retreating, to advance and retreat freely, and to be powerful!

Zhang Zhiwen finally realized that there was a huge difference between a foundation-building cultivator and a Qi-refining cultivator. There was a world of difference between them. If he wanted to, he could easily sweep Feixian City with just one sword, because he didn't have to worry about lack of mana. The mana in his body was inexhaustible. No wonder the four major families in Feixian City were so afraid of the old Taoist of Jindan Sect. If the old Taoist really wanted to destroy Feixian City, it would be effortless.

So Zhang Zhiwen began to practice diligently, and he gradually became proficient in the art of controlling weapons. At this time, Zhang Zhiwen also realized that magic weapons were actually very important. If the opponent had a lot of magic weapons, and released several magic weapons in one breath, he might not be able to cope with it. After all, the magic weapons were extremely fast and powerful.

Of course, in addition to attack and defense, there is also a most common move in the art of controlling weapons, which is flying with weapons. This is almost a must-learn move for foundation-building cultivators. Traveling in the sky and coming and going freely is extremely cool.

However, flying with a flying device is not that easy. Zhang Zhiwen stumbled at the beginning, but Zhang Zhiwen has always been calm. As long as he practices diligently, he can master things. Basically, he can do it. In this way, he slowly mastered the essence of flying with a flying device. This flying with a flying device is quite magical. It is not just flying with a flying device, but it is necessary to release a mana shield on this basis. Otherwise, the wind above the nine heavens is very strong. Let alone flying, if you are not careful, you will be blown down, which is a very embarrassing thing.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen spent about a month to master the flying device technique, but there seems to be some time before the foundation building competition, Zhang Zhiwen is not in a hurry, and he can start practicing the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art with peace of mind.

The foundation building chapter of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art has nine levels, and each level has an immortal method to cultivate. Simply put, if you are gifted and have outstanding spiritual roots, you don't need to take any elixirs, you can directly practice meditation and break through your cultivation. But Zhang Zhiwen doesn't have this ability. Moreover, from the content recorded in the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, he can see that the gap between the first and second levels of foundation building is also very large. If this gap must be more specific, it is that there are at least two first-level foundation building cultivations between the two. In other words, the second-level foundation building is twice the first-level foundation building, or even more, and it will be improved in this way in the future, doubling and doubling. This is the essence of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art, and it seems to be the essence of other immortal methods, because the most critical core is to care about the improvement of Taoism. The first level of foundation building is the first level of Taoism, and the second level is the second level, which must be doubled.

But Zhang Zhiwen himself felt more like a bottomless pit, because he felt that it was definitely more than two times, it seemed to be eight or nine times. Zhang Zhiwen was still quite confused about this, but he thought about it carefully and it became clear, because he had the Nine-fold Sword Intent, and every time he improved his cultivation by one level, he had to directly pull up all the Nine-fold Sword Intent!

Of course, this was Zhang Zhiwen's feeling, and it was not easy for Zhang Zhiwen to determine exactly how much, but it would definitely not be too little.

Therefore, the foundation-building cultivators not only improved their cultivation, but first of all, they had to improve their Dao Intent, and improving Dao Intent required a lot of resources, as well as the precipitation of Dao Intent perception, so the cultivation of foundation-building cultivators was definitely countless times more difficult than that of the Qi Refining Stage.

Of course, some foundation-building cultivators could not improve their Dao Intent, but only improved their cultivation, which was naturally possible, but the power would be greatly reduced, and most ordinary cultivators found it difficult to improve their Dao Intent, which required countless perceptions, and sometimes it was something that could only be encountered but not sought.

But Zhang Zhiwen can't do that. He is now at the ninth level of sword intent, and he needs more resources every time. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwen is also a little headache, but no matter what, he will take one step at a time and improve slowly.

In this way, another month passed, and on this day, Zhang Zhiwen finally received a summons from Zhang Wensheng. The old Taoist Zhang Wensheng asked him to go back, and the foundation building competition should start!
