Chapter 35: CH. 35 | Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique

Lin Tian flew away from the Lingxian Sect, but he did not head directly toward the Hongtian Sect.

He had obtained an Earth-Grade technique scroll that he planned to use first.

He arrived at another hill near the Lingxian Sect. His hand lightly tapped his bag of holding and summoned the technique scroll.

Through his eyes, he could see the scroll possessed its own qi momentum.

Its qi power was stable and strong, different from the other Earth-Grade techniques Lin Tian had seen before.

The scroll opened sideways, revealing the name of the technique written clearly across its surface.

"Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique."

The name sounded unique and convincing. Without wasting time, he immediately formed hand seals and activated his comprehension technique.

The moment the technique activated, white light appeared on Lin Tian’s forehead and instantly absorbed the essence of the technique scroll before him.

For cultivators, there were two common methods to learn a technique.

First, they could read everything manually.

Second, they could use a comprehension technique or similar method to understand it completely.

However, due to efficiency and effectiveness, cultivators had gradually abandoned the old method and relied on comprehension techniques instead.

Even so, comprehension techniques also had certain requirements. One of them was the comprehension attribute.

Comprehension techniques would only work effectively if the cultivator’s comprehension attribute met the required level to understand the technique being studied.

If the value was low, comprehension would be slow and time-consuming.

If it was high, the cultivator could directly grasp the essence of the technique within hours or days.

For Lin Tian, the Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique was an Earth-Grade technique requiring an extremely high comprehension attribute.

Fortunately for him, the Absolute Dao Emperor Comprehension ability was attached to his body.

[Beginning process of comprehending the technique essence]

[Technique Name: Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique]

[Activating Absolute Dao Emperor Comprehension]

[Technique Essence Comprehension Percentage: 10%]

The system panel appeared while Lin Tian focused on absorbing the essence of the technique into his dantian so the Nascent Soul within him could understand the technique’s foundation.

After fully absorbing all the technique essence, Lin Tian closed his eyes and formed another hand seal, the Technique Foundation Reinforcement Technique.

White qi light radiated the moment the technique activated, while the Absolute Dao Emperor Comprehension system panel remained active and continuously updated Lin Tian on his comprehension progress.

[Technique Essence Comprehension Percentage: 35%]

Half an hour passed, and the percentage reached 35%.

Learning an Earth-Grade technique was not easy. Besides requiring high comprehension, the minimum cultivation level to study such techniques was Nascent Soul.

Even though the requirements were complicated, the power behind it was extraordinary.

With an Earth-Grade technique, Lin Tian could easily kill many Core Formation cultivators.

[Technique Essence Comprehension Percentage: 75%]

An hour passed, and the comprehension percentage continued increasing as Lin Tian gradually understood the technique.

His spiritual consciousness entered the sea of his dantian.

Once the percentage exceeded 50%, an illustration condensed from qi appeared, displaying the power of the technique and how it should be used.

"A technique compatible with my wind affinity. Its power is astonishing."

"I’m certain that with this technique and my cultivation level, I can destroy the Hongtian Sect in a single night."

[Technique Essence Comprehension Percentage: 95%]

When Lin Tian realized the percentage had nearly reached perfection, he once again formed hand seals and focused on activating a technique meant to perfect his understanding of the essence.

[Technique Essence Comprehension Percentage: 100%] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

[Technique Essence Comprehension Process Successful!]

[DING! Congratulations, Host has successfully comprehended the Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique]

[The Host can now use this technique]

A burst of qi turbulence shook the surrounding area. It was not nearly as massive as when Lin Tian broke through, and it lasted less than ten seconds.

From the Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique, Lin Tian discovered three forms of attack.

The first attack: Rain of Wind Swords.

The second attack: Death Wind Tornado.

The third attack: Heavenfall Wind Sword.

As for the third attack, Lin Tian could not use it freely yet. It required enormous qi reserves and extremely high concentration.

In his mind, he planned to use the Jiuxu Mountain Wind Sword Technique as his ultimate attack, even though he possessed many other Earth-Grade offensive techniques.

Lin Tian stood after the qi turbulence faded. He stepped forward and raised his hand, summoning white qi light at the tip of his finger.

Using that power, Lin Tian manifested the wind sword technique into a floating white sword suspended in the air.

A thread of qi from his fingertip controlled the sword’s movements.

He directed it toward several nearby trees.

The trees instantly collapsed and crashed to the ground, causing loud rumbles and tremors throughout the hill.

This is good. More than enough to destroy the Hongtian Sect.

After preparing everything, Lin Tian flew into the sky and paused briefly while standing high above the clouds, gazing down at the Lingxian Sect beneath him.

The power of the sect’s White Dragon Formation increased alongside Lin Tian’s cultivation growth.

For now, no cultivator could attack the Lingxian Sect unless they were a Soul Formation ancestor.

After staring at his sect long enough, Lin Tian shot southward as a streak of white light.

In his mind, he still remembered the location of the Hongtian Sect.

There was little chance the sect had moved elsewhere since there had been no war or major conflict. Lin Tian was certain they were still there.

His eyes stared sharply ahead, filled with ambition and rage.

If the Hongtian Sect still existed there and continued imprisoning Lingxian Sect disciples as slaves, then Lin Tian would use this opportunity to complete his linked mission.

To rescue at least five sect members.

The more he saved, the better.

Lin Tian also thought about An Xiao, An Yue’s older sister. To rescue that woman, Lin Tian would eventually need to shake the entire Shuzhou Sect.

"I’ll make plans to attack the Shuzhou Sect later. For now, it’s better to start trouble with the Hongtian Sect first."

With his cultivation level increased, Lin Tian could travel rapidly from one place to another without suffering any qi turbulence.

His physique had become perfect. His soul strength further enhanced his power, and the spiritual qi inside his body flowed steadily.

Lin Tian was truly in peak condition to destroy the Hongtian Sect.

One of the outer guards of the Hongtian Sect noticed a streak of white qi light stretching across the forest sky.

Their eyes sharpened as they clearly sensed the powerful qi fluctuations.

"Wait!" one of them shouted.

Lin Tian saw them. He raised his hand and swung it toward them, summoning a wind sword technique that instantly pierced the stomachs of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

STAB!

Lin Tian’s wind swords pierced their bodies, killing them instantly as their bodies faded into drifting sky particles.

Killing them was easy.

However, the real problem lay ahead.
