Gu Qing Shan and Boss stood at a distant location from the battlefield, silently observing the situation of the entire combination Skill.
Boss was seriously observing it, while Gu Qing Shan was simply staring at the void of space in front of his eyes.
Lines of glowing text continued to appear on the War God UI:
[In consideration that you’ve studied the Asura’s combat techniques prior, you only expended 3,000,000 Soul Points in order to comprehend the Skills that you are able to perform from the sword]
The first line of notification left Gu Qing Shan a bit speechless.
Fortunately, I’ve gotten into contact with the Asura race and obtained the memories of an Asura King, as well as learning and using Asura’s swordsmanship for reference.
Otherwise, the Soul Points I had with me might not have been enough at all.
Various comprehension of swordsmanship appeared in his mind while notifications popped up one after another on the War God UI:
[Asura Royal clan’s foundation swordsmanship (primary)]
[You’ve comprehended this swordsmanship]
[Asura King’s swordsmanship experience (intermediate)]
[You’ve comprehended his swordsmanship; it is currently being integrated into your own swordsmanship]
[Asura Deific King’s swordsmanship (advanced)]
[You will require a bit of time to digest and comprehend this swordsmanship step-by-step]
[Note: These are the most advanced foundation-level swordsmanship of the Asura race, including the stances and applicable experience under various combat situations]
[Learning the above swordsmanship expended a total of 50,000 Soul Points]
This swordsmanship contained the unique combat style and philosophy of the Asura race.
As a human cultivator, Gu Qing Shan had never come across swordsmanship equivalent of an Asura Deific King, so there was a slight comprehension barrier.
But with his level of swordsmanship cultivation, once he studied them in-depth, he would quickly grasp this foundation-level swordsmanship.
That was why 50,000 Soul Points seemed actually a bit steep.
Standing in the void, Gu Qing Shan carefully studied the Asura Deific King’s foundation swordsmanship and cross-referenced it with his own, quickly recognizing new knowledge.
——the Asura Deific King had fought countless battles in his life, even stumbling across the swordsmanship from the Human realm and Heaven realm in this process, his understanding of swordsmanship had reached an unbelievable level, so he was able to observe them all from a broader perspective, thus arriving at a relatively objective division for the levels of swordsmanship.
The Asura Deific King recognized the human sword cultivator realm of Sword Saint, as the ones who had reached this level could be considered a swordsmanship expert within all three realms of Heaven, Human, and Asura.
He believed that once swordsmanship was cultivated to this degree, it would have truly broken through the shackles of mortals and truly become an initiated.
As for Gu Qing Shan’s current ‘Convergence Realm’, to be frank, it was essentially just the convergence of the full power of the Sword Saint realm into a single strike.
Being able to reach this point suggested that one was a grand expert at swordsmanship, but it was still only at the peak of the Sword Saint realm.
At the same time, if one was able to reach Convergence Realm, that would signify that they were ready to break through to the next realm of swordsmanship.
A sword user in the next realm would be able to utilize the sword just like how a Deity would use their power, as such the realm was called Sword Deity.
The Asura Deific King believed that once a sword user broke through Convergence Realm, they would be able to once again divide their power into hundreds and thousands of swords, each strike capable of exerting power that far surpassed what a full-power strike of a Sword Saint was capable of. Only then, would it signify that they had broken through the realm of Sword Saint to reach the realm of Sword Deity.
——Sword Deity!
Reading up to this point, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but look forward to it.
The human sword cultivator Xie Gu Hong had converged thousands of his swords into a single sword, then once again split his single sword into seven swords, meaning that he was already treading the path of the Sword Deity.
Such overwhelming talent had to regretfully give up their life due to the corrosion from the Eternal monsters into humanity.
And right now, Gu Qing Shan had reached the peak of Sword Saint, one day he would surpass his predecessors and become a true Sword Deity.
Gu Qing Shan deeply sighed.
But the comprehension he obtained from the Asura Deific King wasn’t limited to only this knowledge.
—–besides the foundation-level swordsmanship of each realm, there was also one Asura sword technique, the more he studied and comprehended it, the more impressive he felt it to be.
Could it be a Secret Art?
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI and couldn’t help holding his breath.
——the description of that sword technique had just appeared on the War God UI:
[Asura Sword Divine Skill: Rahu’s Eclipse Of Sun and Moon]
[This Divine Skill is separated into three strikes, one Parting Fire, one Frosting Peaks; with Fire and Frost, Sun Moon Eclipsed]
[Parting Fire: sword of fire extinguishing, cuts through all techniques]
[Frosting Peaks: sword of destroying frost, seizing all shapes]
[Sun Moon Eclipsed: sword of traceless heaven and earth, a strike that always hits]
[Legends had it that this was the ancient Sword Divine Skill that the Asura Deific King once performed as he fought the Heavenly Emperor]
[Comprehending this technique expended a total of 2,950,000 Soul Points]
[This Divine Skill requires Soul Points to be performed: Parting Fire requires 20,000 Soul Points; Frosting Peaks requires 30,000 Soul Points; Sun Moon Eclipsed requires 100,000 Soul Points]
[Special note: As you grow stronger, the Divine Skill’s power will also grow accordingly, and so would the Soul Points cost]
Reading up to this point, Gu Qing Shan felt the blood freeze all over his body.
The legend of the Asura tribe spoke of an Asura God-King capable of eclipsing the sun and moon with their bare hands in a war against the Heaven realm.
Who knew, I’d actually see the Divine Skill corresponding to that legend with my own eyes.
Gu Qing Shan recognized that the sword technique he comprehended to be powerful, but never did he think that it would be a Divine Skill!
This is a Divine Skill!
Indeed, I have several powerful Secret Arts like [Torrent], [Life Seeker], [Seven Swords Flowing Dragon].
And I can perform the powerful Taiyi sword array.
But I’ve never seen a sword-type Divine Skill, let alone grasp it.
—–this was also the first time he had ever heard that above a Secret Art and sword array, there were also Divine Skill sword techniques.
Although this Divine Skill costs a total of 150,000 Soul Points to perform, and would only increase over time, one cannot simply use cost to consider these things.
If I use this Divine Skill to defeat a powerful opponent, the number of Soul Points I’ll obtain in return can level the cost, perhaps even let me earn a profit!
However, the Skill description is a bit vague, I’ll need to try it myself in order to see what exactly these Skills can do.
Gu Qing Shan excitedly glanced at his remaining Soul Points value.
[Remaining Soul Points: 19998/600]
He used up a bit of Soul Points during the battle earlier, severing those black strings cost a total of 780,000 Soul Points, then another 3,000,000 to comprehend the Asura sword techniques, which left him with this much.
…It’s good enough, I’m just 2 Soul Points away from being able to perform [Parting Fire].
Gu Qing Shan consoled himself.
For some reason, his thoughts jumped to another topic.
[Rahu’s Eclipse of Sun and Moon] is definitely an unprecedentedly powerful Divine Skill, one that originated from the Asura tribe.
While the Asura race was a part of the Samsara.
——-Shifu also knows an Asura Divine Skill!
During her tribulation on Shen Wu world, Shifu performed the Asura Divine Skill [Vijaydhrana] in order to scare the monsters within the Wind Tribulation away.
And then later on, in Bai Hua hall, facing the threat of the cultivation alliance’s Elders, she had prepared to perform this Divine Skill again.
Other than that, she could also use the Huang Quan Divine Skill: [Forgetting River].
Talking about Huang Quan Divine Skills, I just used one earlier, [Lead The People] in order to take direct control of the Asura Deific King’s corpse.
——-why are Divine Skills of the Samsara so much more powerful compared to the Divine Skills of the 900 million World Layers?
Where exactly did the true Samsara come from?
Gu Qing Shan was full of questions.
That’s it, I’m going to spare some time and return to talk with Shifu about the Samsara.
At this point, Boss poked him and muttered: “Hurry, look!”
Gu Qing Shan focused his mind and released his inner sight to take a look in the middle of the field.
The black coffins had stopped descending.
Numerous Deity corpses surrounded the purple-scaled black snake, not leaving a single gap.
The darkness above the void had faded away, so the terrifying green-furred face had shown up once again.
The green-furred face blew a breath towards the black snake.
Through his inner sight, Gu Qing Shan saw a gigantic faint figure moving from the breath into the black snake’s body.
The purple scales above the black snake’s head started to give off brilliant light.
At this point, a muttering resounded.
“Who would’ve thought, the arrangement from eons ago would actually be completed here”
Following that voice, the two of them noticed that a man had been standing on top of the black snake at some unknown point.
The man wore a bright green mask with fiendish features over his face, one hand holding a turtle shell while the other hand quickly counted along with his fingers.
“What is he doing?” Boss doubtfully asked.
“Divination, he’s calculating something” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit strange, never expecting to run into a cultivator in this place.
Furthermore, this man was wearing a mask just like how the Asura Deific King was.
A mask…
A person who likes to conceal themselves?
As he was thinking, two more figures descended from above and landed on the black snake’s back.
One of them wore a pale-white mask, while the other had a jet-black mask.
They knelt behind the man and spoke in a low voice: “Sir”
“Hm, the arrangements that we prepared countless years ago actually managed to complete its task before thoroughly dissipating” the man with the yellow tusks green mask commented.
“What do you mean sir?” the white mask person asked.
“It is said that the infinite worlds’ operating center lies deep within this void, although it had been destroyed, it is still valuable enough to search”
“Then…” the black mask man cautiously asked.
The green mask yellow tusks man looked up at the green-furred face in the sky and said:
“This technique had lasted for so many years. After existing for so long, it’s no longer able to summon some of the most crucial coffins——- prepare to complement the technique”
“Understood”
