Chapter 1655: Chapter 1644: Heavy Sword Without Edge, Second Form
Originally, in Ye Chenfeng’s view, this sword covered in a thick layer of rust would completely transform once it merged with his blood.
However.
The result?
After the layer of rust on the hilt faded, there was no sign of the rust on the blade diminishing. Although its length and width were similar to the Black Xuan Sword, this rusty sword was unexpectedly light. Holding it, one could barely feel any weight.
"Old Black, why don’t I feel anything special about this sword? Just now, when the rust on the hilt fell off, I thought the sword’s true form would be revealed. Are you sure this sword is a treasure? It doesn’t even weigh anything."
But just as Ye Chenfeng finished speaking.
Suddenly, a force of gravity surged in Ye Chenfeng’s palm, originating from the green hilt, and this gravity was increasing, quickly surpassing that of the Black Xuan Sword.
The Spiritual Qi River in Ye Chenfeng’s meridians was rapidly circulating. The rusty sword in his hand grew heavier and heavier, making him feel as if he were holding up a colossal mountain.
The Black Xuan Sword was not only extremely heavy but also suppressed Ye Chenfeng’s spiritual energy. In contrast, this rusty sword only had weight, yet its weight had already far surpassed that of the Black Xuan Sword.
The weight of the rusty broadsword continued to increase. The Spiritual Qi River in Ye Chenfeng’s meridians was operating at its peak, veins bulged on his forehead, sweat continuously trickled down his cheeks, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
Ye Chenfeng gripped the green hilt with both hands. His arms were slightly trembling as the sheer weight of the rusty sword pushed him to despair.
"Bang! Bang!" two sounds.
The ground beneath Ye Chenfeng’s feet shattered. His feet sank directly into the ground, and his body continued to descend. Though he wanted to immediately let go of the rusty sword, being someone who refused to admit defeat, he continuously channeled the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians, causing slight stinging pain inside them.
Ye Chenfeng focused all his spiritual energy into his palms, gripping the green hilt tightly with both hands.
Finally, once both his thighs were completely submerged into the ground, the weight of the rusty sword stopped increasing.
Ye Chenfeng’s clothes were soaked with sweat, and he slowly exhaled. He carefully jumped out from the ground, and when his feet touched the ground again, despite being very cautious, his lower legs still sank into the ground, demonstrating the sword’s weight.
While the Black Xuan Sword had both weight and a suppressive force on spiritual energy, its weight and suppression were not utterly unreasonable.
The rusty broadsword in Ye Chenfeng’s hand, though not suppressive of spiritual energy, was crazily heavier, forcing Ye Chenfeng to mobilize all his spiritual energy just to hold it.
This rusty broadsword was much harder to master than the Black Xuan Sword.
Currently, with the rusty sword in hand, Ye Chenfeng found it impossible to move freely. He extracted his lower legs from the ground and became more cautious, treading lightly on the ground while maintaining a balance of spiritual energy within.
Finally, only two footprints remained on the ground, but it was extremely difficult to maintain this state. The Spiritual Qi River in Ye Chenfeng’s meridians kept circulating, quickly depleting his spiritual energy.
Ye Chenfeng dared not move his feet at all, fearing that if he did, they would immediately sink into the ground again.
"Young man, now do you see I wasn’t wrong? Just now, your blood blended into the hilt, acknowledging you as its owner. The level of this sword is at least Lower Grade treasure. Now, it likely hasn’t fully accepted you yet. Once your strength gains its full approval, it should reveal its true form, and all the rust on the blade will fall away."
"Weren’t you complaining that the Black Xuan Armor and Black Xuan Sword were too light? Now that you have this sword, carry it during your training. Never put it down. You’ve already experienced the benefits the Black Xuan Sword and Black Xuan Armor brought you, haven’t you?"
Old Black Jiang Yuntian spoke incessantly.
Ye Chenfeng’s arms were becoming numb. He had grown accustomed to the Black Xuan Sword and Black Xuan Armor. Indeed, he thought about adding more weight for the sake of his training, but this rusty sword was excessively heavy!
What made Ye Chenfeng even angrier was that this damned sword had yet to acknowledge him, filling him with frustration.
Ye Chenfeng’s unyielding nature was fully stimulated. He started to hold the rusty sword with one hand, his face flushed red as he noticed the words "Qingyun" engraved on the hilt.
Thus, Ye Chenfeng muttered, "From now on, this sword will be called Qingyun Sword! I refuse to believe that I can’t master this sword."
With Qingyun Sword in his right hand, Ye Chenfeng began walking around the chamber, the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians running swiftly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ground shattered repeatedly, and Ye Chenfeng’s feet kept sinking into the ground.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
...
After five hours.
Ye Chenfeng looked as if he had been fished out of a river, but he was now able to walk with Qingyun Sword in one hand, and his feet no longer sank into the ground, though he still had to be extra careful as he moved.
Ye Chenfeng’s spiritual energy was almost depleted. He stopped to rest for a while and consumed several Spirit Supplementing Pills to restore his energy before once again gripping the Qingyun Sword and continuing on.
Ye Chenfeng looked at the Qingyun Sword, still showing no signs of the rust fading, and he sighed helplessly. It seemed gaining this sword’s recognition wasn’t something achievable overnight.
Ye Chenfeng felt the extreme weight of the Qingyun Sword as he observed the rust-covered blade, lacking a proper edge. Suddenly, he recalled the second technique of the Heavy Sword No Edge, "No Edge Yet Edge Exists."
Ye Chenfeng had already mastered the first technique of Heavy Sword No Edge, "One Sword Breaks the Sky," to the level of Great Achievement Realm.
The three techniques of Heavy Sword No Edge — One Sword Breaks the Sky, No Edge Yet Edge Exists, and Heavy Sword Condenses Mountains and Rivers — each consist of Lesser Achievement and Great Achievement stages.
Ye Chenfeng gazed at the rough, blemished edge of the Qingyun Sword. Doesn’t this perfectly align with the training requirements for "No Edge Yet Edge Exists"?
Instantly, Ye Chenfeng’s mind was filled with the methods for cultivating "No Edge Yet Edge Exists."
A dull sword, no edge, does not kill swiftly!
A dull sword, with edge, breaks through thousands of enemies!
Transform no edge into edge, transform a dull sword into a sharp blade!
Sword edge pierces the firmament!
The cultivation method of "No Edge Yet Edge Exists," the second technique of Heavy Sword No Edge, continued to circulate in Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
Gripping the Qingyun Sword, Ye Chenfeng, at this moment, seemed to forget the sword’s extreme weight, entering a profound state.
An intense sword Qi emanated from him, as if he himself were a sharp blade.
Ye Chenfeng plunged the Qingyun Sword into the ground, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.
Ye Chenfeng’s fists rapidly struck the wall in front of him.
"Boom! Boom!" two sounds rang out.
Only two shallow marks appeared on the wall; the surrounding walls were made of special materials, not easily destroyed.
After sensing the wall’s resilience.
Ye Chenfeng whispered, "Sword edge pierces the firmament! Sword edge pierces the firmament! Sword edge pierces the firmament!"
"Let me witness the power of ’No Edge Yet Edge Exists’!"
The Spiritual Qi River within Ye Chenfeng’s meridians flowed to the extreme; he swiftly pulled the Qingyun Sword from the ground, channeling his internal spiritual energy to its peak, struggling to wield the sword.
The Qingyun Sword slowly sliced towards the sturdy wall before him.
Sword Qi surged within Ye Chenfeng.
"No Edge Yet Edge Exists!"
"Screech! Screech! Screech!"
The jagged edge of the Qingyun Sword scraped against the wall, emitting a piercing friction sound.
Once the Qingyun Sword separated from the wall.
A thin sword mark appeared on the wall.
Suddenly, fierce sword Qi erupted from this sword mark, giving a sharp, unparalleled sensation, as if it could cleave the firmament with a single stroke.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—"
The sword mark on the wall expanded.
The entire wall instantly exploded and collapsed.
Bear in mind, Ye Chenfeng had just struck hard with his fists, leaving only shallow marks on the wall.
Yet, Ye Chenfeng had newly grasped "No Edge Yet Edge Exists," displaying the Lesser Achievement stage of this technique, and the entire wall made of special material instantly exploded and collapsed?
This clearly demonstrated the power of "No Edge Yet Edge Exists."
