Chapter 40: Secretly Transmitted Sword Spectrum

  Zhang Feiyang was overjoyed, took a few steps forward, and respectfully received the sword manual with both hands. He said emotionally: "Thank you, Master, for trusting your disciple. Your disciple will definitely work hard to practice the sword manual and repay his gratitude."

  Cai Zhao Tian looked at Zhang Fei Yang carefully and said: "Good young man, your immortal bone is very good, your character is also not bad, I like it very much. Let me give you another 'Thirteen Swords to Subdue Demons' to help you cultivate quickly and achieve the right result." With a flash of spiritual light in his hand, a black leather sword manual appeared in his hand and was given to Zhang Fei Yang.

  "Master, what is this 'Thirteen Swords of Demon Subjugation'?" Zhang Fei Yang exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the black light flashing cover.

  Cai Zhao Tian stroked his long beard and said, "The 'Thirteen Swords of Demon Subduing' is a secret sword technique passed down by the Xianjian Pavilion. If you use it to fight with others, its effect won't be stronger than the 'True Transmission Sword Spectrum'. However, if you use it to subdue demons and evil spirits, its power will be ten times that of the 'True Transmission Sword Spectrum'. After returning, study it carefully, it will help you kill demon beasts and refine spiritual elixirs and precious instruments."

  Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat as he stared at Master Cai Zhao Tian in shock. From Master Cai's words, he seemed to know about the Heavenly Wind and Clouds Refining Cauldron. Seeing that Master Cai had already closed his eyes to meditate, Zhang Fei bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will take my leave."

  Since it was a secret transmission of swordsmanship, it had to be hidden. Zhang Fei Yang put the "Thirteen Swords for Subduing Demons" into the demon-refining furnace and walked out with excitement, holding the "True Transmission Sword Spectrum".

  After Zhang Feiyang walked out of the Imperial Sword Hall, Zhao Hu was summoned into the Imperial Sword Hall and sat in the middle of it, humbly accepting Master Cai Zhaotian's guidance.

  The true disciples of the Sword Hall were practicing their swordsmanship in front of the hall, each one focusing on their technique, hoping to show off their exceptional skills to Master Cai Zhao Tian and gain his attention, so as to receive more profound guidance. Some true disciples were also practicing a mysterious sword technique that they couldn't master, hoping that Master Cai would notice and guide them out of their confusion. None of the true disciples went to see the senior brothers and sisters who had been summoned into the Sword Hall, so none of them saw Zhang Fei Yang obtain a secret sword manual.

  There are five sets of swordsmanship in the authentic sword spectrum of Xianjian Pavilion, namely "Grassland White Sword Floating", "Plain Born Dense Clouds", "Desert Piercing Yellow Clouds", "Cloud Rolling Sea Waves Flying" and "Mountain Interval Dancing Cloud Dragon". These five sets of swordsmanship are designed according to terrain, covering grasslands, plains, deserts, oceans and mountains. The subtlety of the swordsmanship is in harmony with the heavens, earth, sea and sand, and using different swordsmanship in different environments can achieve unexpected effects.

  In the last few pages of "The True Transmission Sword Spectrum", there is a special sword technique called "Sword Knight Thunder Slash". It is a type of sword technique that can be enhanced by reciting an incantation, increasing its power. Just like Tang Lingyan's "Flying Rainbow Sword Technique", when the incantation is recited and the sword energy is released at the same time, it enhances the power, much more powerful than just using the sword energy alone.

  "Chivalry in heart, thunderbolt slash!" Zhang Fei Yang silently recited the mantra of "Sword Saint Thunder Slash", and he really liked this sword technique. However, this sword technique must be mastered after learning the previous five sets of sword techniques, in order to fully understand its essence. Moreover, this "Sword Saint Thunder Slash" is extremely consuming of spiritual energy, using it once consumes 400 spiritual energy. Zhang Fei Yang currently has 203 spiritual energy and 1218 magical energy, even when his magical energy is full, he can only use it three times.

  If it's a true disciple of the Xian bone, increasing spiritual power by one point and law power by two points, the spiritual power reaches 200, and the law power is 400. It's just enough to activate "Sword Knight Thunder Slash" once. If the enemy doesn't die, their own law power will be completely lost, which will put themselves in an extremely difficult situation.

  Zhang Feiyang had just received the "True Transmission Sword Spectrum" and was not in a hurry, so he first followed the diagram drawn on the sword spectrum, reciting the annotations on the sword spectrum, and began to practice that set of "Plain Birth Mysterious Clouds".

  "The Plain Births Dense Cloud" series of sword moves, when executed in a connected manner, increases in power with each move, leaving the opponent only able to defend and without any chance to counterattack. However, even if not all the sword moves are executed, but just a part of them, as long as they hit the mark, their power is still very strong.

  Tsai Chao's flying sword was very light, holding it in his hand felt the same weight as a wooden sword from the inner gate, Zhang Fei Yang waved his flying sword and danced with the wind and water rising, the sword body flashed with spiritual light as it changed poses, and every time it hit the mark.

  "Haha, don't mention it, I'm actually quite perceptive when it comes to sword techniques. First, I memorize the annotations of the sword technique, then recall the images in my mind, and after fusing them together, the sword moves I make are all so accurate. I've never used a sword before, but it turns out I'm a natural-born genius with swords!" Zhang Fei Yang was very pleased with himself and became even more enthusiastic about practicing.

  Cai Zhao Tian looked at Zhang Fei Yang, who was practicing swordplay in the Sword Hall, with great satisfaction and muttered to himself: "This young man is indeed a rare talent. He has just started practicing the true transmission of the sword spectrum and can already grasp its subtleties, every move hitting the mark, it's really hard to come by!"

  An old man with a brown robe and black beard was sitting on a cushion below the stage, silently watching the true disciples practicing sword outside. After listening to Cai Zhao Tian's words, he spoke in a deep voice: "This year's new true disciples, four of them have three extraordinary talents, could it be that the prophecy of 'Tian Mo Sword Saint' has really come true?"

  Cai Zhao Tian glanced at the old man with a black beard and said, "The sect master's disciple is worrying too much. Five hundred years ago, when we sealed away the 'Heavenly Demon Sword Saint', his mind was already in chaos, and everything he said was just nonsense, how can you take it seriously? Those were just jokes."

  The old man with a black beard was actually Tonghai Hui, the master of Biyun Sword Pavilion. Although he was the master of Biyun Sword Pavilion, in fact, he used to be an apprentice of Cai Zhao Tian. In the end, relying on his talent and hard work, he became one of the 33 masters of Xianjian Pavilion.

  Tong Hai said, "I still remember that night 500 years ago. The 'Heavenly Demon Sword Saint' told us that if he was sealed away, the Xianjian Pavilion would no longer have any powerful people and would become an object of contempt for all the major sects. It wouldn't be until 500 years later that things would take a turn for the better. And now, it's almost exactly 500 years since then."

  Cai Zhao Tian chuckled and said, "That madman has spoken a lot of nonsense, but it's not surprising if one or two of his words become reality. However, I do hope that these exceptionally talented true disciples can become the glory of our Xianjian Pavilion. Although we are still a major sect in the immortal world, we cannot deny that our Xianjian Pavilion has been declining for nearly seven to eight hundred years. The things that have happened during this period are too painful to recall."

  Tong Hai's face suddenly turned red as he recalled many things, those humiliating experiences of being bullied by outsiders. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Master Cai, please continue to instruct your disciple, I will continue to cultivate, next time the Immortal Gate grand meeting, I am also one of the candidates, must prepare well."

  Cai Zhao Tian said: "The sect's disciples may come and go as they please."

  A brilliant light flashed across his body, and he suddenly transformed into a shadow of light, vanishing into thin air.

  Cai Zhao Tian stroked his beard and muttered, "Good disciple, the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Xianjian Pavilion also rests on your shoulders. Work hard."

  Two hours later, Cai Zhao Tian personally instructed ten true disciples. Seeing that the sky was not early, he still had to cultivate and emitted a faint, ethereal sound in front of Yu Jian Tang, saying: "All disciples, today's cultivation ends here, tomorrow will proceed as usual, first go back and cultivate individually." After finishing speaking, his body flashed with white light, the white light suddenly disappeared, and his figure also disappeared without a trace.

  "Zhang Shidi, the authentic swordsmanship you just practiced is incredibly exquisite. If I hadn't seen your self-introduction the day before yesterday, I would have thought you were a true disciple who has been cultivating for a long time!"

  Zhang Feiyang was about to put away the flying sword and do something else, but he was stopped by this sentence. He looked up and saw a young man in blue robes smiling at him with an air of self-assurance. Zhang Feiyang smiled and said: "Thank you for your praise, senior brother. I'm just good at basic sword techniques, the true transmission of sword techniques is easy to grasp, it's not worth mentioning as being exquisite."

  That senior brother smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhang is too modest. If it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to see your talent, but the true disciples here are all masters, and basically, they can all see that your talent is very high, so you don't need to be humble anymore."

  Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Elder brother is right, then I'll open my heart and tell elder brother that younger brother's talent is very high!"

  That senior brother laughed and said, "Zhang Shidi is a true and sentimental person. I'll introduce myself. My name is Guan Changyu, and I've been in the Zhen Chuan Sword Pavilion for ten years."

  Zhang Fei Yang exclaimed: "Guan Shixiong looks like he's only in his twenties, did he come to the True Transmission Sword Pavilion at the age of ten? He has such a gift!"

  Guan Changyu smiled and said, "I am a person who has worked hard to get where I am today, there is no such thing as innate talent. Don't look at me now, I may seem like I'm in my twenties, but I'm actually thirty-eight years old. As cultivators, the higher our spiritual powers, the slower we age, so it's not possible to determine a cultivator's lifespan based on their appearance."

  Zhang Fei said, "Guan Shixiong is right. The children in the inner courtyard have childlike faces and possess unparalleled magical powers, but they are already hundreds of years old, making people admire them!"

  Guan Changyu's face suddenly changed, and he said: "Zhang Shidi, we all know about your competition with Han Yannan in flying swordsmanship. Although I have high hopes for your potential, you've just arrived at the Zhenchuan Sword Pavilion and lack experience. Your flying sword is also very ordinary. In my opinion, you basically don't stand a chance against Han Yannan. I'm really worried about you!"

  Zhang Fei burst out laughing and said: "Guan brother, don't worry, I have a good plan to win."

  Guan Changyu looked at Zhang Feiyang with a hint of surprise, not understanding why he was so calm. Han Yanan was the third strongest true disciple of the Biyun Sword Pavilion, second only to Tang Lingyan and Li Guohao, and his ability to fly with his sword was among the best. Zhang Feiyang must have known this, but yet he looked completely at ease, which left him perplexed.

  "Zhang Feiyang, what are you guys talking about here?" Huang Juan and Zhao Hu walked over, the four of them introduced each other, and then started chatting casually, exchanging their experiences practicing "The True Transmission Sword Spectrum".

  Zhang Feiyang chatted for a while, and then he had something to do, so he bid farewell to the three of them and returned to Lu Yunzhu's place. He came to the stone house in the bamboo forest and placed the long copper box on the ground. Now he was going to start preparing his flying sword!

  Opened the box with the Alchemy Furnace, took out the long spiritual sword, and opened the blue scabbard again. The body of the sword was bright white, shining with light, very sharp.
