My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved - Chapter 87
Chapter 87: Heavenly Path Seal
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Su Yang had seen a catalog of spiritual objects before, and he recognized this item on it.
The classification of spiritual objects was based on cultivators’ realms.
A Foundation Establishment High-Grade Spirit Plant was equivalent to a Heavenly Realm Spirit Plant.
This was quite good; at least so far, it was the highest-quality spirit plant Su
Yang had seen.
The key point was that it was still alive.
Purple Moon Flower – Absorbs the aura of the full moon, breathes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can improve the local environment, enough to turn an ordinary mountain into one with spiritual energy.
A very nice item, he decided to keep it.
After his trip to the capital city, he didn’t just collect his reward and do nothing else.
During this process, he also learned about some aspects of the cultivation system.
Currently, there were two main categories known.
One was known as orthodox cultivation, and the other was known as heavenly path cultivation.
Orthodox Cultivation: Not bound by the heavenly path, all acquired resources are used to enhance oneself. Those so-called evil cultivators could also fall into this category, known as evil cultivators. They had caused damage to Daxia and the world, but that couldn’t change the fact that they were orthodox. Of course, regardless of being orthodox or not, if they caused destruction in a world with a heavenly path, they would be struck by lightning.
Heavenly Path Cultivation: Also called nurturing cultivation, where cultivators form a contract with the heavenly path, receiving assistance from the land and the heavenly path. Cultivation is faster, but usually, the upper limit of growth is restricted by the heavenly path. It’s somewhat like being a slave to the heavenly path, and it’s looked down upon by orthodox cultivators.
Orthodox cultivators need specific cultivation techniques for each realm even if they have enough resources for advancement. They also face realm bottlenecks.
Heavenly path cultivators only need to avoid surpassing the current world’s heavenly path, and they can easily advance. Realm bottlenecks don’t exist. The only drawback is that their strength limit is determined by the heavenly path.
Orthodox cultivators at the later stages often need to plunder resources from other worlds to improve their own world, making the heavenly path stronger, so they become stronger.
For Su Yang, however, this point was irrelevant. He was here to nurture his underlings, not for his own cultivation.
With the Body Transformed into Sword: Flowing Light technique, he could reach longevity even after his Sword Intent exceeded Level 100. Su Yang’s mind condensed Sword Intent from the void.
He struck at the sealing formation.
The seemingly ordinary formation emitted a bright light, attempting to block the strike.
And it succeeded!
Yes, the formation managed to resist only one-tenth of Su Yang’s Sword
Intent.
This surprised Su Yang.
“Could this thing have been set up by Gu Tong?”
He doubted that Gu Tong’s strength could create such a thing.
There might be some hidden story behind it.
No matter, he would find out after destroying it.
Su Yang struck again more seriously.
His Sword Intent was called “Slightly Serious Strike.”
“Boom!”
Black mist surged from the sealing formation, resisting Su Yang’s Sword
Intent.
It managed to withstand for three seconds.
Then it shattered.
“Hey, let me take a look.”
After shattering the formation, a white light appeared inside.
Initially, the white light seemed like it wanted to escape, but the next second it stopped in front of Su Yang.
At the same time, Su Yang’s sword trembled.
“Huh?”
“What is this?”
“Another piece of the heavenly path fragment?”
Looking at the familiar item in front of him, Su Yang recognized it quickly.
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Sword Immortal… help me integrate…]
Su Yang blinked. Well, the heavenly path was quite sensible.
There was nothing more to say. Su Yang indicated that the heavenly path could act and said if it needed help, it should just ask.
The heavenly path didn’t really need help, it just needed Su Yang to guard it and not let it be attacked during integration.
Then two lights began to merge.
The process wasn’t too fast or too slow.
It took about ten minutes to complete the integration.
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Thank you, Sword Immortal, for your help. If you need to form a contract with the world in the future, I can help. Next, please help me find more of my main body.] Su Yang: [Can we communicate normally now?]
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Yes.]
Finally able to communicate normally, Su Yang immediately began to inquire about things he wanted to know.
Such as how the heavenly path was shattered.
Such as forming contracts with the world.
Such as whether the heavenly path could help him find people.
Such as where the other heavenly path fragments were.
After getting a better understanding through this exchange, Su Yang had a clearer perception of the heavenly path.
He also gained a better understanding of the world.
Although the heavenly path consciousness was part of the heavenly path, it was weak in this world, which wasn’t even a complete world. So, it wasn’t a complete heavenly path.
This world was still growing, a fledgling world on its way to becoming complete.
About three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Immortal Sect appeared.
Their first action was to crush the heavenly path.
They shattered the heavenly path, sealed its fragments all over the world, and spread the destruction technique to try to completely eradicate the heavenly path in this world.
The reason was simple: the Heavenly Immortal Sect’s Nascent Soul masters wanted to refine this world.
They wanted to break through to the Yuanying realm by utilizing the power of the fledgling world.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang couldn’t help but think that this cultivation system had a high power limit.
Could just the Yuanying realm wreak havoc on an entire world?
Wait, not just the Yuanying realm!
Although Su Yang didn’t know the true strength of the Yuanying realm, he realized that it must be accomplished through certain means.
Or perhaps there was something to do with the world level?
Each world had different world levels and different heavenly path levels.
World rules and suppressions were certainly different as well.
For instance, in the Primordial World, even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn’t know how they died.
Or worlds even more formidable than the Primordial World.
Seeing this, Su Yang realized how weak his current strength was.
Regarding forming contracts with the world, Su Yang had one question: How many people could he form contracts with? Could he eventually make everyone start cultivating?
The heavenly path consciousness replied that it was possible.
However, the heavenly path consciousness couldn’t do it right now, even at its peak. Unless Su Yang found spiritual objects that could elevate the world level, it couldn’t happen. With a higher world level, the world’s native inhabitants’ talents would become stronger.
With a sufficient world origin, the heavenly path could help shape everyone’s spiritual roots.
The premise was the world level. Currently, this world was just at a fledgling stage.
Although some premises were there, Su Yang still took note of them.
This was a chance to change the world. Maybe not everyone would start cultivating, but he could achieve one of his previous thoughts.
To create a group of powerful enforcers, individuals not tempted by worldly desires.
Based on the current state of the heavenly path fragment, he could form contracts with ten people, allowing them to enjoy the blessings of heaven and earth, walking the path of heavenly cultivation.
Regarding finding people and the heavenly path fragment’s issue…
As for finding people, it wasn’t quite feasible since the current heavenly path was still weak. Even at Its peak, It was only about one percent ot Its original strength.
Finding other heavenly path fragments was possible, but it was limited to those that weren’t sealed.
Moreover, there were limitations based on distance.
Like the fragment Su Yang had just found, it was sealed, and the current heavenly path fragment couldn’t sense it.
To have the heavenly path fragment locate sealed fragments, it needed to recover to over fifty percent.
In the past, the Heavenly Immortal Sect used special means to shatter the heavenly path. They captured the largest fragment but many others scattered and hid in the world, waiting for a chance to recover.
After understanding all this, Su Yang noticed something.
If the Evil Saint Sect had a heavenly path seal, didn’t that mean they were connected to the Heavenly Immortal Sect?
Or…. were they just the dogs of the Heavenly Immortal Sect?
