Chapter 5

The second brother punched Lu Xuan's dantian, grinning wickedly as he waited to see Lu Xuan's miserable end. However, he did not expect a sudden change. Facing the sword qi that shot out, he had no defense at all!

The sword qi emitted by the sword crystal was incredibly powerful! How could a mere fourth-level Body Cultivation practitioner withstand it? A bright sword light flashed and instantly shot to the second brother's chest.

The sudden change left the second brother unable to react. In front of this sword qi, his body was as fragile as tofu. With a "swoosh," his heart was instantly pierced through!

"Aaaaaah!"

Two惨叫声几乎同时响起，其中一个自然是那二哥，而另一个惨叫声，竟然是陆轩发出来的！

At this moment, Lu Xuan had already fallen to the ground, his hands tightly gripping his head, his face full of pain. He felt as if his head was about to explode!

Pain! Unbearable pain instantly swept through Lu Xuan's mind.

Countless fragments of unfamiliar memories flashed through Lu Xuan's mind. These memories clearly did not belong to him, as if they were being forcibly stuffed into his mind.

But at this moment, he had no time to examine these memory fragments. He could only desperately resist the pain, maintaining the last bit of clarity in his mind to avoid losing his sanity.

Although he had experienced intense pain last night, this pain was completely different from last night's.

Last night's pain was the pain of his meridians being forcibly opened, a physical pain. But the current pain was a mental pain. Lu Xuan felt as if countless steel needles were continuously piercing his mind, impossible to resist, and he could only endure it.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the pain slowly subsided. Lu Xuan gradually regained consciousness from his near-fainting state, his eyes slowly opening, and his hands that were gripping his head loosened, breathing heavily.

This intense pain came and went quickly, but this time, it was even more severe than last night. Even though the pain was gone, Lu Xuan still felt a lingering fear when he recalled it.

Turning his head to the side, he saw that the second brother had already become a cold, lifeless corpse, his heart pierced through by the sword qi. How could he possibly survive? Although it was said that when martial artists reached the peak, they could regenerate limbs and even achieve eternal life as long as their soul remained, a mere Body Cultivation practitioner was far from reaching such a level.

Recalling the situation just now, Lu Xuan's face suddenly changed. He realized that something seemed to have been added to his mind.

Very unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar... Yes, it was the memory fragments he had seen just now!

These memories that did not belong to him had been forcibly implanted into his mind, no wonder he had experienced such excruciating pain.

Whose memories were these? The sword crystal's memories? Or the memories of the sword crystal's owner? Or something else?

Lu Xuan's mind was filled with questions. The most direct way to find the answers was to search through these memories.

The memories implanted in Lu Xuan's mind were not many, and he had already sorted out some of the details. The small piece of crystal that had been struck off by the punch was likely the legendary memory crystal, and the memories he had just obtained were contained within that small piece of crystal. How much memory could such a small piece of crystal contain?

However, although these memory fragments had been integrated into Lu Xuan's mind, they were quite chaotic. To understand what they were, Lu Xuan needed to sort them out himself.

Although it was somewhat tedious, fortunately, there were not many memory fragments. Before long, Lu Xuan had sorted out one complete memory. However, when he understood this memory, he could not help but tremble all over!

This memory contained a cultivation technique!

In the path of cultivation, the most important things, besides talent, were cultivation techniques!

Why did all the martial artists near Lincheng City want to enter the Wind Sword Sect, even if they had to fight to become an outer disciple?

The most important reason was that the Wind Sword Sect possessed a large number of cultivation techniques!

Lu Xuan's family might have been glorious in the past, but now it had long fallen, unable to produce even a decent cultivation technique. The cultivation technique he had been practicing was just the most basic Qi Induction Technique, which only taught how to guide the power of the primordial spirit into the body. If he had a better cultivation technique, with Lu Xuan's talent, he would not have been stuck at the second level of Body Cultivation at the age of sixteen.

According to the classification of cultivation techniques on the Heavenly Sword Continent, they were divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, each rank further divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The Qi Induction Technique did not even qualify as the lowest grade, Yellow Lower, showing how basic it was.

But now, he had obtained a cultivation technique from the memory of the sword crystal. How could Lu Xuan not be excited! Although he did not yet know how good this technique was, the power and mystery of the sword crystal had already deeply impressed him. How could the cultivation technique in the sword crystal's memory be inferior?

For a moment, he could not continue sorting through the other memories and quickly absorbed the content of this cultivation technique.

The name of the cultivation technique was "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision." Just from the name, it was clearly much more powerful than the Qi Induction Technique Lu Xuan was currently using.

However, after browsing through it, Lu Xuan found that the "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision" was incomplete. The "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision" in his memory only contained the Body Cultivation stage, and the techniques for stages above Body Cultivation were missing.

But Lu Xuan was not concerned. He had just entered the third level of Body Cultivation, still far from the completion of the Body Cultivation stage. For at least this period, the "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision" was more than enough for him.

Moreover, Lu Xuan speculated that since a small piece of crystal from the sword crystal contained memories, it was likely that the entire sword crystal was a large, complete memory crystal!

Once his strength increased, he could find an opportunity to strike the sword crystal again, and there was a good chance he would obtain more memories, possibly including the subsequent techniques of the "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision."

The only regret was that the "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision" did not indicate its rank, making it impossible for Lu Xuan to accurately determine its level.

However, even if he could not accurately determine the rank of the "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision," Lu Xuan was certain that it was not a low-level technique.

In the Qi Induction Technique, only one meridian's path was listed, but in the "Taiyi Guiyuan Decision," as many as twenty-six meridians' paths were listed! The effect of cultivating using one meridian versus twenty-six meridians was vastly different.
