Novel Full Chapter 262 Carrying All Techniques, All Methods, referred to as Mahayana, the core puzzle of the new system, meets the conditions for sublimation
“Mahayana Flying Sword?”
Xue Jing repeated it.
Mahayana… that must be referring to the Mahayana of Mahayana Buddhism.
What an arrogant name, is it that extreme?
“Flying sword technique is not something that practitioners from the Old Martial Art Sect can employ,”
Wu Xuanzhu began.
“Or rather, for the Old Martial Arts, it’s not practical… After we martial artists leap through the Dragon Gate, our spirit and consciousness reverse the limits of celestial beings, undergoing transformation… However, no matter what, the spirit remains ethereal, intangible, unable to directly influence physical reality.”
Xue Jing listened intently, the person before him was a true master at the pinnacle of martial arts, and every word he spoke about martial arts knowledge was precious.
One would guess that people would queue up to buy every word if he decided to sell them.
This opportunity was extremely rare.
“But we can use a technique similar to the Taoist Sect’s ‘Cutting Three Corpses,’ where we detach a portion of our consciousness and attach it to the Qi Force outside of the body, then drive the flying sword through this Qi Force.”
“However, this method is not practical, as the Qi Force can’t travel far once it leaves the body, nor can it be replenished at will, and so its power is quite average. Even those ancient martial artists from the Taoist Sect who excel at this technique can hardly be said to be strong.”
“Unless it’s someone above the Third Break, where both Qi Force and consciousness are condensed to the extreme… But by that stage, flying swords become almost unnecessary.”
“Thus, those who use flying swords are mostly sword cultivators from New Martial Sects and those who have undergone alien implant surgery,”
Wu Xuanzhu said.
“They implant a controller in the brain to manipulate levitating swords with brainwaves, and the method used by new martial sword cultivators involves mixing a part of their own flesh with special materials from the Intersecting Boundaries, crafting it into a sword, and cultivating it inside their body, turning it into a part of their body.”
“The ‘Mahayana Flying Sword’ I am about to impart to you was created by a powerful new martial sword cultivator.”
“It was named after the Buddhist term ‘Mahayana,’ symbolizing a lofty and inclusive vision, reaching the ultimate in this world, hardly surpassed by any.”
Xue Jing looked curious and excited.
The Buddhist description of Mahayana is exceedingly profound.
The term ‘Da’ (great) signifies ‘vast, lofty, infinite,’ while ‘Cheng’ (vehicle) means ‘car’.
In ancient Zhuxia, a chariot pulled by four horses was called one vehicle. It would carry three armored warriors and be accompanied by seventy-two infantrymen on the ground, with twenty-five more in logistical support.
A single war chariot thus represented a hundred soldiers and horses.
When an emperor traveled, ten thousand such chariots were deployed, reflecting supreme authority and prestige, hence he was called a ‘Ten Thousand Chariots Emperor.’
The Buddhist term Mahayana symbolizes the ‘Carriage that Carries All Beings, Infinite.’
The Fruit of Mahayana, then, represents ‘becoming a Buddha after ferrying all beings.’
“Just like the Buddhist concept of ‘Mahayana,’ this flying sword technique claims to carry all martial arts in the world, condensed upon the sword,”
Wu Xuanzhu saw Xue Jing’s interest and smiled before continuing,
“Originally, this was a flying sword technique that only new martial sword cultivators with transformed bodies could master. They can remotely channel energy to the sword through the ‘Body Sword,’ which is part of their own flesh, freely executing all their learned techniques in the form of Mahayana Flying Sword.”
“However, when we sparred just now, I saw your fist coated in a layer of platinum, followed by a sudden increase in your punch force… And this platinum color also just appeared out of nowhere on that door panel.”
“It seems, without resorting to the new martial transformed body method, you can also achieve remote transfer of energy to the sword, can’t you?”
At this, Xue Jing’s eyes lit up with joy.
The most important element of his newly-transformed combat system, as a result of ‘Feather Transformation,’ had been found!
“Please teach me, Senior Wu!”
Xue Jing bowed respectfully with his hands clasped together.
Wu Xuanzhu stroked his not-so-long beard and waved Xue Jing over with a smile,
“Come closer.”
Xue Jing did as instructed and approached Wu Xuanzhu.
“Close your eyes, do not resist, and relax.”
Wu Xuanzhu spoke.
As he spoke, he reached out and spread his palm, touching Xue Jing’s forehead.
Seeing this, Xue Jing’s expression remained unchanged, but he was ready to employ Elemental Shadow at any moment, then closed his eyes.
Although the elder of Youqing A Dream, there seemed to be no reason for him to harm Xue Jing at the moment, but he was still prepared with basic defensive measures.
Wu Xuanzhu’s hand, which did not appear aged at all, touched Xue Jing’s forehead.
Then, an invisible, cool force like flowing water gradually surged from Wu Xuanzhu’s palm into Xue Jing’s conscious mind.
“Eh…”
“Although I had already noticed, this young man’s spirit is exceptionally solid, almost substantial…”
Wu Xuanzhu looked surprised.
“Perhaps this is the secret to his uniqueness… Or is it that all the Chosen Blessed Ones are like this?”
Wu Xuanzhu thought.
He did not mind too much but continued with his actions.
“This technique is called ‘Divine Will Implantation.'”
He spoke.
“I will cut out the part of the consciousness that holds the memory of ‘Mahayana Flying Sword’ and directly implant it into your mind.”
“The amount of memory is not large, but my spiritual realm is of the Heavenly Person Fourth Transition, even this small fragment of consciousness carries immeasurable influence for others.”
“Originally, I should have left it in your mind for you to slowly watch and learn, like watching a movie.”
“But your spirit is extraordinarily abnormal, of unparalleled solidity, you should be able to easily decompose this fragment of consciousness, so just eat it directly.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing’s heart stirred, and he nodded.
Wu Xuanzhu said his spirit was solid, which must be due to his ‘Visualization True.’
His semi-substantial spiritual power, capable of affecting reality like telekinesis, compared to the ordinary spiritual power, with the tangible against the intangible, should hold a tremendous advantage.
Soon Xue Jing felt a ‘light spot’ that seemed to emit spirituality from Wu Xuanzhu’s palm, slowly entering his mind and sinking into his spirit.
Without any action on his part, his consciousness instinctively surged like a tsunami towards the ‘light spot,’ and under the impact of the giant waves, the light spot shattered in almost an instant.
A dense barrage of memory images began to play in Xue Jing’s mind, with text, characters, sounds, and scenes.
“…The Extreme Martial King, that old fool, knows nothing!”
“…I’ve consumed ‘it’ completely, otherwise how could I claim to be ‘Mahayana’?”
“…Train or not, I’m leaving.”
“…Idiot, how many times have I said, the most important thing for Sword Cultivators is to be dashing, why would I bother using a sword if I’m not?”
“…Stupid bald monk, if Shakyamuni has a problem let him crawl out of his coffin to charge me copyright fees, why doesn’t he come after me? Does he not want to?”
“…Damn Russians, Sukarno Bolie! Take my sword, Huaxia’s number one sword, White Emperor’s Holy Sword…”
In the chaotic mix of images and sounds, a strange man with an indiscernible face appeared repeatedly, uttering bizarre words.
Whenever he appeared, he was always surrounded by flying swords, ranging from one to several dozen, and his poses were meticulously crafted, either with his back facing the masses or overlooking them from above.
However, there weren’t many scenes about him, and Xue Jing soon immersed himself in the knowledge about the Mahayana Flying Sword.
Using the sword as a vehicle, carrying all techniques, all methods, all Dao, called ‘Mahayana’…
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
When Xue Jing opened his eyes, the sky had already turned slightly yellow.
The moderate rain had quietly ceased at some unknown time, and the elder named Wu Xuanzhu had left without saying goodbye.
A fluffy white glove with pink paw pads rested on Xue Jing’s knee.
“Jing, are you alright?”
Miao Miao used Xue Jing’s knee as a support, propped up her upper body, and moved closer to Xue Jing, her charming and delicate cat face showing anthropomorphic concern.
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing came back to his senses, looked down at Miao Miao, and stroked her head with a smile,
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
His eyes conveyed a sense of amazement.
This gain was somewhat incredible…
He had learned a technique of significant meaning to him.
He really needed to thank Senior Wu Xuanzhu… of course, Youqing A Dream deserved even more thanks.
Xue Jing decided that, for Wu Xuanzhu’s sake, if he met Zhou Yinglin barking at him on the street in the future, he would at most break only three of his dog legs and would certainly spare his dog life and not chop off his dog head.
Mahayana Flying Sword was that important to him.
This flying sword technique… no, it could even be called the ‘Flying Sword Skill,’ even ‘Flying Sword Dao.’
The lofty ambition completely justified the ‘Mahayana’ in its name.
It comprised three realms.
Divided as ‘Carrying Skill,’ ‘Carrying Skill,’ and ‘Carrying Dao.’
The first realm, ‘Carrying Skill,’ was simple—it taught how one could transform the martial skills of channeling energy through the body into techniques that could be carried by a ‘flying sword.’
The requirements of this realm demanded the creation of a ‘Body Sword’ from special materials mixed with flesh and blood in the way of Neo Martial sword cultivators, and to have complete control over the Body Sword, allowing distant energy channeling without hindrance.
For Xue Jing, who had ‘Feather Transformation,’ this step was entirely skipped, and his capabilities even surpassed those of Neo Martial sword cultivators.
The items he could feather-transform were like extensions of his own body! Not only was channeling energy unimpeded, but he could even use other Divine Skills!
Moreover, the items he could feather-transform were numerous; as long as he could control them and afford the energy cost, he could even use thousands of flying swords!
It didn’t have to be flying swords; picking up dozens of roadside stones would also work!
Xue Jing’s gaze turned to the Forgotten Greatsword embedded in the ground not too far away, and at a thought.
The Forgotten Greatsword rose into the air, circled around, and pointed upward.
Firstly, the technique carried on the sword blade…
The Forgotten Greatsword in midair suddenly accelerated its speed and disappeared from its spot in an instant.
A trail of gorgeous rainbow-colored tail flames lingered where it passed, like a rainbow.
Long-range technique—Flying Sword·Flame Connecting Rainbow!
“Boom—!”
Dragging the lengthy colorful tail flame, the Forgotten Greatsword returned to Xue Jing’s side at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Then, a thunderous roar like thunder reached his ears, as the air carried by the sword blade burst open, blowing Xue Jing’s hair back into a slick style. Miao Miao, being too light, was almost blown away, but luckily she managed to hook onto Xue Jing’s trouser waist with her claws.
“Is this the legendary supersonic—’Sword Qi Thunder Sound’?”
Xue Jing stroked his chin.
With the Divine Power in him, just like the first time he practiced the Yellow Grannie Skill, the once extremely obscure and hard-to-practice ‘Mahayana Flying Sword’ posed no difficulty for him, and he successfully mastered it on the first try!
He didn’t need to understand the knowledge of the ‘Mahayana Flying Sword; the knowledge itself actively seeped into his mind!
Xue Jing pointed at the Forgotten Greatsword with his finger.
The blade immediately trembled and spun away in another direction, with the spiraling blade creating visible spiral air waves and loud explosive noises.
Flying Sword·Tornado Thunder!
Xue Jing was full of enthusiasm, ceaselessly experimenting with transforming his martial skills into flying sword techniques using the Mahayana Flying Sword.
This was a technique with infinite possibilities!
How many combinations, how many types of uses, how high the limits—Xue Jing dared not imagine!
As he had previously speculated, this was the most important, most core piece of his “Feather Transformation” remote combat system!
Xue Jing had wanted to try even more methods, such as different martial arts combined together on the flying sword, simultaneously controlling three feather-transformed items using different martial arts, and the like.
At that moment, he instinctively opened the panel to take a look.
[…Contemplation·True Experience Points+2324]
[…True Martial Experience Points+1368]
[…Warlord Experience+1662]
… Experience new stories on empire
Due to the brief fight with Wu Xuanzhu and being taught the Mahayana Flying Sword, he had gained a lot of skill experience.
But these were not the focus. Xue Jing’s gaze shifted to the prompt at the bottom of the panel.
[Detected Sublimatable Skill: Teaching]
[Sublimation Conditions:
The first, ????? (met)
The second, Level to reach Lv10
The third, Needed Divinity: 1000]
Hmm?
Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.
Teaching…
He had almost forgotten he had such a skill.
Suddenly meeting the toughest unknown sublimation condition…
…
