C28 Special Training
After the competition, Sect Leader, Martial Uncle and Xuan Wei announced the end of the competition and gave out generous prizes to the outstanding performers. More than twenty outstanding outer disciples were also promoted to the inner sect.
After everyone had finished cheering, Xuan Wei continued, "In order to face the great competition in the Southern Continent in eighteen years' time, the twenty-one disciples under three hundred years of age and above with Middle Period of Golden Core will participate in a long term special training. "Hmm, Lee Tianci has performed very well. You are allowed to join!"
Under everyone's gratified, happy, envious and jealous gazes, Lee Tianci calmly said, "Thank you, Sect Leader and Martial Uncle. I will do my best and will not lose face for my sect!"
Xuan Wei gave the twenty-two of them five days to recuperate and adjust their condition. After that, she would take them to the forbidden area to receive special training.
Recently, Liu Leexia had faintly felt that her bottleneck had loosened, so she decided to return to the Pill Cauldron Sect to undergo closed door cultivation to enter the Late Period of Golden Core before the Large Competition in the Southern Continent. Shui Ling also wanted to follow them back and prepare for the Large Competition.
"Don't practice too hard. Be careful of your safety." We can only meet again at the 'Plains Star', where the preliminaries of the South Continent competition are being held. You can't be like the last twenty years, where you forgot about me the moment you started cultivating! You want to think about me once a day, don't you? Then think about it once a month, all right? "Then you should think about me at least once a year. You can't miss me any less, or else you'll forget about me …"
After sending Shui Ling off, Lee Tianci used the remaining three days to adjust his body to its peak state. Then, he followed his master Xuanyang to the square in front of the training hall to meet up with Sect Leader, Soong Qiang, and his 20 Senior Brothers and Sisters.
After exiting the transfer array, Lee Tianci found that the group had arrived at a huge valley. The density of spiritual energy here was much higher than outside and was about the same as the elder's secluded room. The transmission array was at the foot of the mountain. In front of them was a large square, and not far away was a small river. On both sides of the mountain walls, there were also many caves.
Xuan Wei coughed lightly and said to everyone, "For the next eighteen years, you will all be receiving strict training here. The Elders will take turns to take charge, and will teach you the techniques, specialties, and coping strategies of the main opponents in the South Continent competition. If you have any questions, you will receive detailed answers from the Elders. This kind of opportunity to receive personal guidance is not many, I hope you can grasp it well. Alright, each of you pick your own cave abode first. After that, go and familiarize yourself with the environment here, we will officially begin at noon. "
Lee Tianci randomly picked a cave. The inside of the cave was very small and there was only a stone bed made of clouds. After coming out, he hung a sign with the word "Lee Tianci" on it. He released his flying sword and flew around the valley.
The valley was surrounded by mountains on all four sides. On top of the valley was a huge barrier that covered the entire valley. The teleportation formation was the only way out.
"This first year will be taught by me. Each morning, you will start with two hours of lessons. After that, you will each practice your swordsmanship and I will give you guidance. In the afternoon, you will all be free to practice, ask questions, practice together, and so on. Of course, the disciples who have participated in the special training before can also practice on their own. The concentration of spiritual energy here is only slightly lower than the area where the Grand Elder is training in seclusion, far from being comparable to the outside world. "
"The largest cultivation sects on the Southern Continent are the Nantian Star 'Nantian Sect', and then the Thousand Sin Star's' Clouds Sect 'and' Wood Gate '… You just need to understand this first. The enemy we're going to defeat this time is Jiao Yuan Star's Great Net Gate! Eighty-two years ago, my Ten Thousand Swords Gate was defeated by the Great Net Sect in a minute, so this time you must win no matter what! A junior who has not even been established for a thousand years, to actually be above my Ten Thousand Swords Gate, is simply too much of a humiliation … "
Xuanyang took a deep breath and calmed himself down before continuing, "The Great Net Sect is famous for its spells, especially its thunder attacks. "We can look down on the enemy in terms of strategy, but we must look down on them in terms of tactics. In the next few days, I will let all of you see some of the more profound magic techniques in the Great Net Sect. You must all carefully observe and diligently learn how to break them …"
"As for the preliminaries, there aren't any strong opponents. You just need to pay attention to Yuan Chen's' Controlling Spirit Sect '. They are experts in controlling all kinds of rare birds and ferocious beasts. It would be quite troublesome to fight them as well.
Lee Tianci listened attentively to Xuan Wei's explanation. The strange planets and sects filled him with yearning towards the outside world.
"The universe is truly vast! "I used to yearn to fly freely in the sky, but now I've done it. When will I be able to fly freely through the universe?"
In the following half a year, Lee Tianci experienced many magical techniques and learned some practical and simple techniques, such as evasion, fireball, water ball, dust, and so on. But of course, he had made the greatest improvement in his sword-arts.
"Sect Leader, Martial Uncle, although disciple has successfully mastered the Golden Crow Sword Art, disciple feels that something is amiss. There seems to be a barrier that prevents disciple from displaying the maximum power of this sword technique." Lee Tianci frowned as he consulted Xuanyang.
"You've mastered it?" Xuanyang looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "This set of Golden Crow Sword Art was created by a body stage sword master in our sect five thousand years ago. Its power is extremely great and it is not much weaker than the Ten Thousand Swords Formula. However, this sword art was very difficult to practice. In the past five thousand years, only three people had been able to display its full power, so there were fewer and fewer people who practiced it. You are the only person who has practiced the Golden Crow Sword Art for the past thousand years, and you have only just started practicing it. You have yet to touch upon its essence, much less its essence. Little fellow, since you have chosen this set of Golden Crow Sword Art, you need to be mentally prepared. It is not something that can be achieved just by painstaking training, you more need talent and luck. "
"I don't know much about the [Golden Crow Sword Art], and I can't help you with that. Un, I will look for it when I return, and see if I can find some information related to the Golden Crow Sword Art. "
"Thank you, Big Martial Uncle!"
When he returned to his cave, Lee Tianci's mind was filled with the [Golden Crow Sword Art]. He was too distracted to cultivate.
"This intermediate sword technique has such a great origin!" Divine Marrow? Essence? What was it? Sigh, back then I only felt that this sword technique was very intimate and suited for myself. Although it was very complicated, at most I just put in a bit more effort. Should he give up? But this [Golden Crow Sword Art] really gives me a good feeling... At most, I will just practice a powerful sword technique again in the future. I will just have to spend more energy. "
After thinking for a long time, Lee Tianci made up his mind and quickly got rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind. He then sat on the stone bed and started his homework.
After more than half a year, Er Martial Uncle suddenly came to Lee Tianci's cave abode after teaching Taoism and gave him a few books and a few jade slips. He said: "Senior Brother Sect Leader asked me to pass this to you, it's the letter left behind by the three seniors who have mastered the Golden Crow Sword Art , and some records related to the Golden Crow Sword Art . If you can comprehend it for yourself, I hope it will be of use to you. "
After Lee Tianci happily expressed his thanks, the Mystical Technique said, "If that's not possible, let's change it to another set of sword technique. Ten Thousand Swords Gate has five top quality sword techniques and nineteen high quality sword techniques. You can choose from the new sword techniques, why must you remain stubborn? "
Lee Tianci chuckled: "Disciple feels that this sword technique is fated to be mine, so I might as well give it a try."
After sending off the mystical arts, Lee Tianci calmed down and slowly flipped through the handwritten letters and the information. For the next ten days, he spent all of his free time in the afternoon on this letter.
"I've finally finished reading it. It seemed as though the key to this sword-art lay in this' Golden Crow '. The senior who established this Golden Crow Sword Art was called 'Sun Sword Sovereign'. Wasn't the Golden Crow the sun? There were many descriptions of the Golden Crow in his letter, especially this Golden Crow Diagram. It had a divine form, and had an arrogant, unrestrained, and supreme aura to it. Hmm, I have to think about the Golden Crow, since it will be of help to the《 Golden Crow Sword Art》. "
Sure enough, after the Golden Crow took shape in Lee Tianci's mind, this set of Golden Crow Sword Art became more and more smooth, and its power also increased day by day. In just a mere month, the Golden Crow's aura gradually revealed itself, the flames on the Dragon Sword also became stronger and stronger. From time to time, it would let out a high-pitched crow sound, as if it had really become an ancient Golden Crow.
"This method is indeed feasible, but there are still some shortcomings …" "Forget it. I'll just cultivate first. When I get lucky in the future, I'll naturally gain something from it."
