Chapter 6

The cultivation technique of the *Taiyi Reversion Art* was directly stored in Lu Xuan's mind as pure memory, so he didn't have to worry about forgetting it, and understanding it was also much easier.

After going through it once, the cultivation path of the twenty-six meridians was firmly etched in Lu Xuan's memory.

However, he did not immediately start practicing. The *Taiyi Reversion Art* was just a part of the memories he had obtained. First, he had acquired an excellent cultivation technique, which made him eagerly anticipate the rest of the memories.

He quickly went through the remaining memories, and as expected, he was not disappointed. Soon, he organized another set of sword techniques.

For martial artists, combat power mainly consists of three aspects. The first is naturally their own strength level, which is undoubtedly the most fundamental and important. For ordinary martial artists, fighting across levels only exists in legends.

The second is the cultivation technique. The more powerful the technique, the stronger its recovery and endurance capabilities. The third, and the most crucial in battles of the same level, is martial skills.

The strength of martial skills directly determines a martial artist's burst power in combat. In battles between martial artists of the same level, whoever has the stronger martial skills has the absolute advantage.

Martial skills, like cultivation techniques, are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, and three qualities: Upper, Middle, and Lower.

Similarly, martial skills are extremely precious. Sword techniques are one type of martial skill. The sword technique Lu Xuan obtained from his memories is called the *Blink Sword Technique*.

As the name suggests, the most prominent feature of this sword technique is speed! Striking in the blink of an eye.

In the world of martial skills, nothing is unbreakable, except for speed!

This is especially true for sword techniques. Swords are light and agile, unlike heavy weapons that require broad and sweeping movements. No matter how strong the enemy's attack is, as long as you can strike them before they hit you, even the strongest attack is useless.

The rank of the *Blink Sword Technique* was clearly marked in Lu Xuan's memory: it is a Yellow-grade Upper-quality sword technique!

For Lu Xuan, who currently only knew the basic long fist and no other martial skills, a Yellow-grade Upper-quality sword technique was akin to a divine skill!

Why could the Long family become the first powerful clan in Green Mountain Town? It was because of the martial skill of the Long family's patriarch, Long Zhan, the Dragon Seizing Hand.

Despite its intimidating name, the Dragon Seizing Hand is merely a Yellow-grade Lower-quality martial skill.

A mere Yellow-grade Lower-quality martial skill could dominate a small town and oppress the Lu family, demonstrating the preciousness and power of martial skills.

But now, with Lu Xuan's talent, plus the newly obtained *Taiyi Reversion Art* and the *Blink Sword Technique*, given enough time, the so-called Long family would be nothing but a joke. Not to mention, there was a mysterious and incredibly powerful sword crystal in his dantian waiting to be discovered.

In less than a day, Lu Xuan had undergone a complete transformation. His talent had inexplicably improved to the top level, and his cultivation progressed rapidly. He had obtained a powerful cultivation technique and a Yellow-grade Upper-quality martial skill, making his future prospects bright.

After carefully organizing the memories in his mind, Lu Xuan discovered some mysterious things besides the *Taiyi Reversion Art* and the *Blink Sword Technique*: runes, formations, enchantments, and various strange symbols.

Lu Xuan was not entirely ignorant of these things. It seemed that on the Heavenly Sword Continent, there was a profession called Enchanter, who could enchant weapons and equipment to enhance their power.

However, it was said that Enchanters were not something just anyone could afford, and Lu Xuan only had a superficial understanding of them.

Although he had obtained the method of enchanting, Lu Xuan had no intention of studying it for now. Not only was it uncertain whether he could master it, but more importantly, he didn't have the time. What was most urgent was to quickly improve his own strength.

Even though he knew he would definitely surpass the Long family in the future, his current strength was still not enough to stand up to them. To prevent his sister from being forcibly married to Long Tai, his only chance was to join the Wind Sword Sect and use its power to intimidate the Long family.

Frowning at the corpse of the second brother, Lu Xuan felt that this place was probably not safe. He stood up and continued to walk deeper into the nearby mountains. Even if Long Tai and Long Yang sent more people to find him, it wouldn't be easy to locate someone in such a vast forest.

This guy was truly unlucky. No matter where his punch landed on Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan would have been seriously injured, but he unfortunately struck Lu Xuan's dantian.

Unexpectedly, due to the existence of the sword crystal, the fragile dantian became Lu Xuan's strongest point. Not only did it fail to cause him any trouble, but it also triggered a protective sword aura, instantly killing the second brother.

The facts proved that Lu Xuan's luck had not run out.

After leaving the original location for a considerable distance, Lu Xuan stopped, but he didn't dare to go too deep, not knowing what powerful beasts might be in the deep mountains. He sat down in a cross-legged position, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of all distractions, then began to cultivate again.

The crystal-clear sword crystal, still slowly rotating in his dantian, showed no change compared to before. The mysterious patterns on the blade emitted a faint aura.

Lu Xuan no longer paid it any attention. At least from its current performance, the sword crystal only brought benefits and no harm. Perhaps when his strength increased, he would be able to unravel its mysteries.

After sitting down, this time Lu Xuan did not use the *Qi Attraction Technique* but instead used the *Taiyi Reversion Art* he had just learned.

Although the method of running the *Taiyi Reversion Art* was firmly etched in Lu Xuan's mind, and he clearly remembered the paths of the twenty-six meridians, he did not dare to be careless during his first attempt.

As the technique ran, the spiritual energy in the air was rapidly drawn into his body. The absorption speed was several times faster than the *Qi Attraction Technique*.

The spiritual energy that entered his body was quickly mobilized by Lu Xuan. He carefully controlled the spiritual energy to enter the first meridian, not daring to be distracted for a moment, and slowly ran it according to the path marked in the *Taiyi Reversion Art*. Soon, the first meridian was filled with spiritual energy, and spiritual energy continuously seeped into his flesh, bones, and marrow, refining his body.

After completing the first meridian, the spiritual energy entered the second meridian, then the third, the fourth, and so on.

Previously, Lu Xuan used the *Qi Attraction Technique* and only knew the path of one meridian. Running a full cycle was very fast. But now, with the *Taiyi Reversion Art*, he had to run all twenty-six meridians, which took much longer, but the benefits were enormous!

Running the *Taiyi Reversion Art* once was equivalent to running the *Qi Attraction Technique* a hundred times!

Moreover, because the meridians run by the *Taiyi Reversion Art* were spread throughout the body, every part of the body was refined, and his strength was comprehensively improved.

At the same cultivation level, a martial artist who only trained one meridian could not compare to one who trained all the meridians. This was the power of the cultivation technique.

It took Lu Xuan nearly half an hour to complete the first full cycle. The reason it took so long was that he had to run many meridians, and it was his first time running this technique, so he was not yet familiar with it. After running it a few more times, the speed would gradually increase.

Although he had only run it once, Lu Xuan could clearly feel the power of the *Taiyi Reversion Art*. He felt that his strength had increased even more compared to before. This significant and terrifying effect would shock countless martial artists if it were known.

In fact, besides Lu Xuan, no one else could achieve this effect even if they obtained the *Taiyi Reversion Art*.

Because one full cycle of the *Taiyi Reversion Art* required running all the meridians in the body, and most martial artists had blocked meridians that were not smooth. Even spending a day or half a day, they might not be able to complete one full cycle.

Fortunately, when Lu Xuan obtained the sword crystal, it forcibly unblocked his meridians, allowing him to easily run the *Taiyi Reversion Art*.

The *Taiyi Reversion Art* was truly a cultivation technique for geniuses!

After completing the first full cycle, Lu Xuan became even more familiar with the running path. Without stopping, he again drew spiritual energy into his body, and the second full cycle began...
