Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 359: Chapter 355: Little Celestial Sword Technique

Inside the Celestial Sword Grand Canyon, it was deathly silent. The only sound was the metallic clang of their two swords meeting.

The numerous Sword Cultivators watched Ning Jiang and Wei Qingxuan without blinking.

However, very few could clearly follow their Sword Techniques.

The reason was simple: they moved their swords too fast. Those with insufficient Cultivation couldn’t track the blades’ trajectory at all. They could only see a blur of sword shadows clashing endlessly, sending sparks flying.

"Fifty moves!"

The only ones present who could still clearly see their Sword Techniques were the Three Great Swords and a few others.

And the more clearly they saw, the more awe-filled they became.

Wei Qingxuan’s attacks were simply too fierce. Each move was like a raging tempest, a relentless assault that gave his opponent no room to breathe.

They could see no openings whatsoever in such an offensive.

"If I were to cross swords with Young Master Wei, I’m afraid I wouldn’t last ten moves before being sent to the Yellow Springs."

The Three Great Swords exchanged a glance, all sharing the same thought. Although Wei Qingxuan was much younger than them, his mastery of Sword Techniques was far superior.

This only deepened their yearning for the Celestial Sword Sect, making them eager to follow Wei Qingxuan there to learn more profound Sword Techniques.

’How strange.’

As they continued to watch, the men felt that something was off.

Ning Jiang stood there, seemingly on the passive defense. It looked as if he was being completely suppressed, with no ability to fight back, yet an indescribable sense of unease settled in their hearts.

"No! He’s the one in control!"

Suddenly, the old man in the straw raincoat among the Three Great Swords exclaimed, "He’s the one setting the pace! Young Master Wei appears to be on the attack, but in reality, he’s fallen into Ning Jiang’s rhythm."

Just as his voice fell, Ning Jiang’s defensive posture suddenly changed.

SHIINNG!

His sword strike was like a goat hanging by its horns—utterly traceless as it shot toward Wei Qingxuan.

’Hm? Is he aiming for my throat? No, my heart... That’s not right either...’

Wei Qingxuan’s pupils contracted. He couldn’t discern the direction of Ning Jiang’s attack, and he knew that a single misjudgment would cost him dearly.

SWOOSH.

He stamped his foot on the ground and shot backward.

But as he retreated, Ning Jiang shadowed him like a phantom, maintaining the exact same distance as he gave chase.

This was the consequence of clashing Sword Techniques with Ning Jiang. The moment one fell at a disadvantage, they would be relentlessly suppressed.

"AOOO!"

Seeing Ning Jiang’s sword draw ever closer, Wei Qingxuan let out a long cry and began to spin like a top, unleashing wave after wave of Sword Qi.

Ning Jiang halted his pursuit.

But everyone could see that in the exchange of Sword Techniques, Wei Qingxuan had lost.

’The chosen one of the Celestial Sword Sect actually lost. Who would have believed it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?’

The hearts of the onlookers were all shaken.

"It seems I underestimated you. Fine. I’ll let you witness my true strength."

Wei Qingxuan’s battle lust grew even stronger. A momentary victory or defeat meant nothing. If he couldn’t even see past that, he would never have been able to comprehend Sword Intent.

All those who could comprehend Sword Intent possessed an unyielding will.

"Kill!"

KRANG.

He slashed out with his sword, and a hundred-zhang Sword Aura, as agile as a dragon, tore through the sky. The air filled with a series of CLINKs and CLANKs—the sound of miniscule Sword Auras striking the ground like clashing metal.

All the Sword Cultivators grew solemn.

’The real battle is about to begin!’

Before, it was a clash of Sword Techniques. Now, it was an all-out battle.

Now, it all came down to who was stronger.

Ning Jiang strode forward step by step, his aura incomparably sharp. Gripping the Snow River Sword, man and sword moved as one, transforming into a rainbow streak of light as he slashed down.

In an instant, a layer of cold frost covered the ground.

BOOM.

The two Sword Auras collided, and a sound like the tolling of a great bell echoed between heaven and earth. A vast wave of energy swept through the entire valley, exploding into a cloud of white mist.

"Again."

Wei Qingxuan’s fighting spirit soared. In his heart, he had already acknowledged Ning Jiang as a worthy opponent.

He flicked his sleeve.

SHIINNG!

The Cyan Profound Sword flew from his hand, shooting out like a rocket.

This was Primordial Spirit Sword Control—using Primordial Spirit Power to control a Treasure Sword for attacks.

A Sword Cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm could take a person’s head from a hundred li away using this very technique.

"Sword Light Division!"

As the Cyan Profound Sword flew out, it divided into streams of Sword Auras. In the end, hundreds, then thousands, rained down with a deafening roar.

"Flying Swords?"

Ning Jiang sneered.

Back when he was still in the Innate Realm, during his battle with the Lin Family Master in the Cyan Cloud Country, he had used this very Flying Sword technique to kill his opponent and shock everyone present.

"Seven Kills Sword Array."

He threw out his Snow River Sword, which manifested six streams of Sword Aura. Together with the sword’s main body, they formed the Seven Kills Sword Array.

Although there were only seven Sword Auras, they were far more condensed. Even a powerhouse of the Immortal Realm would not dare claim they could receive a single one.

The seven swords shot out in unison, crashing into the sky full of Sword Auras.

Countless Sword Auras were annihilated as if they were dead wood.

Wei Qingxuan snorted coldly. "Nine Palace Sword Array."

With a wave of his long sleeve, the Cyan Profound Sword transformed into nine streams of Sword Qi that plummeted from the sky like falling meteors.

The Nine Palace Sword Array.

One sword became nine, with the nine streams of Sword Qi corresponding to the Nine Palaces. It was one of the Celestial Sword Sect’s most profound Sword Techniques, one that very few among the younger generation could master.

But the Seven Kills Sword Array was also a Top Level Sword Technique. It was created for the sole purpose of slaughter. Known as the "Seven Kills," one could imagine its terror from the name alone.

In the end, the two great Sword Arrays annihilated each other, ending in a draw.

"Wei Qingxuan, is this the extent of your strength?" Ning Jiang said faintly.

"Good. Very good. With your strength, you are indeed qualified to witness the ultimate technique of my Celestial Sword Sect, the Celestial Sword Technique!"

The moment Wei Qingxuan’s voice fell, the entire audience erupted.

The Celestial Sword Technique! This was one of the most profound Sword Techniques within the Celestial Sword Sect, famed throughout the Six Eastern Provinces.

The very name of the Celestial Sword Sect came from the Celestial Sword Technique.

"I’ve heard that not many in the Celestial Sword Sect can cultivate the Celestial Sword Technique. Only a select few can learn this ultimate art."

"Since Wei Qingxuan was able to comprehend Sword Intent, he must be one of their key disciples. It’s only logical that he would have the chance to cultivate the Celestial Sword Technique."

"No, the most profound parts of the Celestial Sword Technique can only be cultivated after reaching the Heaven-Reaching Realm. Given Wei Qingxuan’s strength, he must be cultivating the Little Celestial Sword Technique."

To put it simply, the Little Celestial Sword Technique is a simplified version of the Celestial Sword Technique.

Without sufficient Cultivation, it’s impossible to master the true Celestial Sword Technique.

This is because the Celestial Sword Technique is a Celestial Level Martial Technique.

A Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse can, at most, cultivate Spirit Level Martial Techniques. Above that are Earth Level Martial Techniques, which can only be cultivated by those in the Earth Martial and Heaven-Reaching Realms.

However, even if it was just the Little Celestial Sword Technique, it was still a Top Level Sword Technique!

"Celestial Sword Technique, Storm of the Ten Directions!"

"Myriad Swords Technique, Long River Sunset!"

At that moment, both of their voices fell in unison.
