Chapter 71: The Insane Veneration Sword Technique

Even though Gu Duxing has a heaven-defying talent and excellent aptitude, it would still take him at least sixty years to reach the Sword Emperor realm! And Gu Miaoling, who is one year older than him and is suffering in the Dragon Prison Cave, has already wasted the best years of her life, which can never be reclaimed.

"To get Sister Miaoling out, I must reach the Sword Emperor realm! But that is such a distant goal! Sister Miaoling is already twenty-one this year!" Gu Duxing said in despair. "Even if I advance quickly, it will still take at least thirty to forty years to reach that level! Thirty to forty years, how can Sister Miaoling endure it? How can she endure it!"

Chu Yang raised his head, deep in thought, and said, "This matter is not necessarily without a solution."

"You have a solution?" Gu Duxing suddenly stood up, causing the wine cup on the table to flip over and fall to the ground. His bloodshot eyes were wide open.

"Yes." Chu Yang nodded calmly and said, "Sit down. Gu brother, the one who is involved is often confused, while the observer is clear. You focus on sword cultivation, right?"

"Brother Chu, your insight is sharp." Gu Duxing's eyes flashed with surprise. He only cultivated the sword and never delved into other techniques, which allowed him to maintain focus and advance quickly!

But he had never mentioned this to anyone. Although he had already recognized this young man, how could such a young person have such keen insight? Moreover, even if a martial artist of a higher level did not engage in combat, they would not be able to discern that he was a sword cultivator.

How did he figure it out?

"You focus on the sword; you should know the saying 'the sword takes a sharp turn.'" Chu Yang smiled. "The sword takes a sharp turn, which can easily hurt oneself, but if it is used, it is a fatal strike!"

"That's true, but... this is cultivation. How can one take a sharp turn with the sword?" Gu Duxing furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

"Gu brother, how many people have you killed?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

"Killed people?" Gu Duxing was taken aback, then took a deep breath and said, "Seven. Seven scoundrels!"

"Too few! Even to achieve a general's success, countless bones pile up. How much more so for this heaven-defying cultivation? To become a Sword Emperor, one must go through countless bloody battles in their lifetime to reach that level!" Chu Yang's eyes flashed with determination as he said heavily, "Gu Duxing, if you trust me and give me the next ten years of your life, I have the confidence to make you reach the Sword Emperor realm within ten years!"

"Ten years?!" Gu Duxing's eyes widened, shooting out a brilliant light.

Although ten years is not short, compared to thirty to forty years, it is much shorter. Moreover, after ten years, both he and Gu Miaoling will only be in their thirties, and everything will still be in time!

But is this real?

Chu Yang did not speak, but smiled quietly at him.

"I agree!" Gu Duxing said resolutely, "As long as it can get Sister Miaoling out as soon as possible, I will not hesitate to give you ten years, or even my entire life!"

"Good! It's a deal!" Chu Yang extended his hand, "As long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee that you will be reunited within ten years! And in these ten years, I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance!"

"What should I do now?" Gu Duxing asked.

"If you are worried about revealing your identity, you can change your appearance first." Chu Yang said calmly. "Then, you need to guard the Heavenly Armament Pavilion and these few swords. Get a good night's sleep and rest well. In the next ten years, your sword will be drenched in blood! Your enemies will be spread across the continent! You must struggle to survive in the gap between life and death, and improve yourself in every impossible moment to meet my requirements for the sword taking a sharp turn!"

"This is a difficult path, and a path with no turning back! But I believe you are ready. For the one you deeply love, Gu Miaoling!"

Hearing the name "Gu Miaoling," Gu Duxing suddenly clenched his fists tightly, and a low, pained groan, like that of a wounded beast, escaped his throat. Only he knew that every time he thought of this name, it was like a knife stabbing his heart.

No retreat? For Sister Miaoling, do I need any retreat?!

Chu Yang stood up, walked to the counter, took out a piece of paper, and dipped a brush in ink. After a moment's thought, he began to write swiftly.

Gu Duxing swayed, stood up, and walked to his side, watching him write. But as he watched, his eyes suddenly widened to the size of eggs, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!

"The Insane Veneration Sword Technique?!"

The four words were said with great difficulty! He then suddenly looked up, staring at Chu Yang in disbelief, "Is this... real?"

The Insane Veneration Sword Technique is the fastest method for sword cultivation. Once it is activated, the cultivator's entire body and soul are devoted to it, and it cannot be stopped until a certain stage is reached. This is the most extreme method. Either one is destroyed in this extreme madness, or one's sword skills are elevated to a new level!

Cultivating the Insane Veneration Sword Technique has two possible outcomes: success or death. There is no third path!

This sword technique is said to have been created by the Sealed Heart Sword King hundreds of years ago. The name "Sealed Heart" should actually be "Mad Heart," as everyone believed that the person who created such a sword technique must have been a madman!

This sword technique was discovered in the burial place of the Sealed Heart Sword King during a treasure hunt in the Middle Three Days. After many people studied it, they found that while it could rapidly enhance sword cultivation, it would ultimately drive the cultivator to madness!

The Sealed Heart Sword King died from madness due to practicing this sword technique! Many people tried to modify it to turn it into a treasure, but no one succeeded. Thus, the Insane Veneration Sword Technique was discarded like a worn-out shoe. After all, no matter how powerful it was, becoming a madman... was as good as being useless.

However, the content of this sword technique was still passed down in the Middle Three Days.

Until one day, Chu Yang discovered the Insane Veneration Sword Technique and carefully analyzed it, finding that it was somewhat similar to the method in the third section of the Nine Tribulations Sword, but much lower in level.

By replacing some key phrases in the Insane Veneration Sword Technique, it could still be cultivated. And it would still achieve the extreme madness that accelerates rapid improvement!

However, the power of the Insane Veneration Sword Technique was far inferior to the Nine Tribulations Sword, so although Chu Yang discovered it, he did not cultivate it. But he had a deep impression of it at the time.

But now, it has come in handy. The current Gu Duxing desperately needs this sword technique! And this person, who is obsessed with the sword to the point of madness, is the most suitable for this sword technique!

"Take it!" Chu Yang finished the last stroke, blew on the still wet ink, and handed it to Gu Duxing. This is the improved Insane Veneration Sword Technique. Cultivating this requires only indomitable willpower!

Gu Duxing's hands trembled violently as he took the sword technique. These few thin sheets of paper gave him hope of rescuing Gu Miaoling earlier!

How could he not be excited?
