Starting With Chaos Physique

Chapter 8 Holding the Sword to Stop the War, the Three Supreme Offensive Sword Techniques@@novelbin@@

“You want to start learning the Gu family’s divine arts now?”

In the palace, the gray-clothed man looked at Gu Changsheng in astonishment.

However, when his gaze fell upon the aura of the Longevity Bone at Gu Changsheng’s chest, he seemed to understand.

Gu Changsheng’s expression was serious as he said, “I hope the ancestor will grant my wish.”

After experiencing the might of the Reincarnation Divine Art, he became even more determined to master powerful divine techniques.

Especially with the support of an Immortal Family, how vast must the accumulation of techniques and arts be over countless years?

It was simply beyond measure.

Although his constitution and talent were exceptional, the techniques he practiced were limited.

Moreover, the Gu family’s Primordial Furnace Sutra wasn’t the most suitable for the Chaos Physique. Additionally, he lacked many secret techniques, movement arts, and offensive methods.

“It seems you’ve already awakened an innate divine ability, but at the Spirit Condensation Realm, there aren’t many divine arts you can fully utilize,” the gray-clothed man said with a slight smile. It wasn’t that he doubted Gu Changsheng’s capability to learn, but rather he wanted him to further solidify his cultivation base.

Even though Gu Changsheng had already refined his cultivation into blood essence once, his breakthrough speed was still too fast.

Gu Changsheng had already made up his mind and wasn’t going to give up. He insisted, “It doesn’t matter how many there are. I just feel that solely cultivating my realm isn’t very productive.”

Seeing the determination in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, the gray-clothed man smiled again and no longer refused. He said,

“Before that, though, I’ll first teach you a sword art.”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s interest was immediately piqued.

“In the Three Thousand Dao Realms, do you know which are the three most powerful offensive sword arts?” The gray-clothed man asked, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

“I don’t know,” Gu Changsheng answered honestly, as no one had mentioned them to him before.

But from the ancestor’s tone, could the sword art he was about to teach be related to these three supreme offensive sword arts?

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation.

“The Stopping War Technique, the Killing Technique, and the Immortal Severance Technique. Among them, the Stop War Technique originates from our Gu family.”

“With sword in hand, wars cease, and the world finds peace. This technique was originally meant to be passed on to you after you reached the Soul Palace Realm, but since you’ve already forged your primordial spirit, I’ll teach it to you now.”

As the gray-clothed man finished speaking, he pressed a finger to Gu Changsheng’s forehead.

In a trance, Gu Changsheng saw a golden figure holding a radiant divine sword, like a blazing golden sun, slashing down from the endless void.

Along its path, stars collapsed, the sun and moon dimmed, and space itself shattered.

Countless stars turned to ashes.

A colossal beast, larger than a starfield, was split in half with one sword!

Then, the golden figure turned and vanished, along with the sword.

Terrifying, magnificent, resplendent, and ultimate!

“So this is the Stopping War Technique?”

Gu Changsheng murmured, his eyes reflecting countless golden sword shadows.

The Stop War Technique is divided into four stages: Condense the Sword, Hold the Sword, Draw the Sword, and Stop the War!

No wonder the ancestor had said it required at least the Soul Palace Realm.

This was because the sword needed for the Condense the Sword stage was a Primordial Spirit Sword, anchoring true essence and being indestructible.

“Comprehend it well. After all, this is a supreme sword art. Without time and effort, you won’t be able to grasp it,” the gray-clothed man said with a faint smile, seeing Gu Changsheng immersed in the brilliant sword shadows.

When he himself had learned this technique, it had taken him six months to reach the first stage. Each subsequent stage’s difficulty multiplied.

It also depended on one’s cultivation of the primordial spirit. Without sufficient foundation, forcibly condensing sword shadows would only harm the primordial spirit.

He hoped this would make Gu Changsheng retreat from the challenge.

Yet—

Gu Changsheng’s expression remained calm, as if he were deducing something. Sword light flickered continuously in his eyes.

In his sea of consciousness, a Bodhi tree swayed, shedding radiant light like rain. Beneath it sat a golden figure in meditation, its five hearts facing the heavens.

Sword shadows flashed within the figure’s eyes as well.

Gu Changsheng’s primordial spirit was flawless and had entered a state of enlightenment.

“The Bodhi Mirror Technique allows me to perceive the mysteries of the Stop War Technique

The gray-clothed man didn’t know the efficacy of this mental secret art.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have thought the same way.

Three days later—

Terrifying golden sword shadows surrounded Gu Changsheng’s body, splitting into two, then countless, before merging back into one.

Suddenly— The heavens and earth darkened.

It was as if a blazing sun had risen from beyond the skies, erupting with blinding golden sword shadows.

Above the palace, the sky was instantly enveloped in gold, transformed into a sea of sword shadows.

Then, countless sword shadows merged into one, descending with a force that seemed to blot out the sky and cover the earth.

Seeing this, the gray-clothed man, who had been leisurely sipping tea on the side, widened his eyes. The teacup in his hand almost slipped.

“The Condense the Sword stage. This speed… I’ve underestimated the terrifying potential of this child’s talent…”

After a long while, he sighed softly.

“Ancestor, did I comprehend it too slowly? The Stopping War Technique truly deserves its reputation as a supreme sword art. It’s so profound that with my current ability, I could only reach this stage.”

Gu Changsheng finally awoke from his enlightened state, exhaling deeply and speaking with some disappointment.

At his birth, countless heavenly rules and Dao forces had surrounded and entered his body, endowing him with immense Dao insight. In terms of comprehension, he was undoubtedly the pinnacle of his generation.

Yet it had taken him three whole days just to reach the entry stage of the Stopping War Technique.

“Well… it’s not… exactly slow…”

The gray-clothed man’s mouth twitched slightly, suddenly at a loss for words.

“The family’s Sutra Library contains numerous ancient techniques and supreme methods collected since antiquity. If you wish to study them, just go,” he said.

Didn’t you just say I wouldn’t be able to learn much?

Gu Changsheng’s expression turned strange, but this suited him perfectly. He naturally wouldn’t refuse. “Thank you, ancestor.”

“Go ahead.”
