Chapter 9

This cultivation technique called Taixu Sword Intent was something he had chanced upon in a cave. It was truly profound and extensive, but at that time, William Bolton had already reached the Golden Core stage. To switch to a new technique, he would have had to abolish his own cultivation, which was impossible, so he simply kept this technique, occasionally taking it out to study and compare with his own cultivation.

After reading it for many days, William Bolton eventually mastered this Taixu Sword Intent.

Now, William Bolton faced two choices: one was to continue cultivating the technique he had previously developed on his own, and the other was to cultivate the Taixu Sword Intent!

Hesitation! The technique he developed himself was certainly suited to him, but once he reached the Nascent Soul stage, progress would slow down. As for the Taixu Sword Intent, he had never practiced it before and had no idea what would happen after cultivating it.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time, and it wasn’t yet time to make a decision. William Bolton was in no rush and just focused on gathering qi each day.

Seniors in their fourth year had no classes, only their graduation project. Even so, they still had to report their project progress to their advisor every week and make revisions based on the advisor’s feedback.

William Bolton's original project was done in a standard way, and his progress was ahead of others. But after being hospitalized for a month due to a car accident, his progress actually slowed down.

His advisor was a witty old man who knew William Bolton was physically inconvenienced now and didn’t rush him, only reminding him to focus on recovering first and then work on the graduation project slowly. However, the weekly progress reports still had to be done.

This made William Bolton even more relaxed; he didn’t care about the graduation project at all.

Ever since moving out of the school, no one bothered William Bolton anymore. During the day, he exercised to promote the integration of his primordial spirit and physical body, and at night, he meditated to gather qi. Life was quite leisurely. The only thing that made William Bolton hesitate was the issue of which cultivation technique to choose—he still hadn’t decided which one to practice these past few days.

One night, a month later, William Bolton was still meditating and gathering qi on the balcony. Gradually, the morning sun rose from the horizon, bathing all beings in its rays. William Bolton breathed calmly, gathering qi, absorbing the purple energy from the east into his body, letting it settle in his dantian.

Suddenly, William Bolton's spiritual sense stirred. He found that he could now clearly see the gathering of vital energy in his dantian, and could even see his internal organs distinctly.

Inner vision! When qi gathering reaches a certain level, the power of the primordial spirit also becomes strong. Inner vision is a watershed, a sign that the cultivator can now choose a technique to begin true cultivation.

Ordinary cultivators would never reach this stage so quickly—achieving inner vision in just two months—but William Bolton was different. With the memories and experience of his previous life, he was already extremely familiar with meditation and qi gathering, which unconsciously shortened this process.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, drawn in by his gathering, was absorbed into his internal organs, tempering his body, and accumulated in his dantian, strengthening his vital force.

In his dantian, a pitch-black little sword stood quietly—his famous immortal sword, Chun Jun!

When William Bolton obtained the Taixu Sword Intent technique, he also got two other things, one of which was this Chun Jun sword! Otherwise, with William Bolton's background as a rogue cultivator, he would never have been able to gather the materials to forge his own magical weapon.

At the time of reincarnation, William Bolton had expended a great deal of vital force to seal the Chun Jun sword in the dantian of this body. Only when his cultivation reached the fifth level of marrow cleansing could he unseal the sword.

Seeing the Chun Jun sword, William Bolton's previously hesitant mood suddenly cleared. He made up his mind—to cultivate the Taixu Sword Intent and abandon the path he had previously explored on his own.

What prompted William Bolton to make this decision was something else—or rather, a sword technique.

When William Bolton obtained the Taixu Sword Intent in a cave, he also got the Chun Jun sword, and even a sword technique that matched the Taixu Sword Intent—Heavenly Dao Sword Stance!

Chapter 006: Heavenly Dao Sword Stance

At that time, William Bolton was already at the Golden Core stage, so naturally he wouldn’t cultivate the Taixu Sword Intent. But he could practice the Heavenly Dao Sword Stance.

This sword technique was extremely powerful and had helped William Bolton many times. But back then, William Bolton always felt that something was missing from this sword technique.

Thinking about it now, since the Taixu Sword Intent and the Heavenly Dao Sword Stance were matching technique and sword art, it was only natural that the Heavenly Dao Sword Stance should be performed with the Taixu Sword Intent. That’s why it always felt like something was missing, lacking its essence.

Since the Heavenly Dao Sword Stance possessed such formidable offensive power, the corresponding technique must be just as good—at the very least, better than the one he had developed himself.

Now that he had made his decision, he could begin cultivation.

But William Bolton was in no hurry to start. Instead, he slowly recalled the mental method of the Taixu Sword Intent. After all, so many years had passed, and he had spent all his time fighting others in the Penglai Immortal Realm. It would be normal to have forgotten something.

But as soon as he started to recall, William Bolton found that all the sealed memories surged forth, and the complete Taixu Sword Intent technique appeared in his mind, intact.
