Although there were three major moves of the Ancient Chaos Sword Art, all three of them contained numerous subtle moves. And it is those numerous subtle moves, that strengthened the main moves.

Now, Shao Xuan was proficient with those subtle moves, but proficient did not mean that he had mastered them all. The moves Shao Xuan executed currently were more of a physical thing, without the essence inside. Only when the essence was combined in the moves, could you bring out the real power of the moves.

The Ancient Chaos Sword Art was one of the Sacred cultivation arts. Due to its category, it was not easy for people to comprehend the mysterious essence of it easily, or else it would not be called a Sacred cultivation art.

Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Vital Spirit inside his stomach. His body began to emit a slight delicate aura. It was the aura of mid Ronghe stage. Vital Spirit poured out quickly, and then was infused into the legendary sword under Xiao Chen’s control.

With the infusion of Xiao Chen’s Vital Spirit, the legendary sword began to a cold shine and his aura grew much stronger accordingly. Feeling the warm Vital Spirit running through all his meridians, the childish face of Xiao Chen’s had a joyful look.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, he started to vigorously perform the Ancient Chaos Sword Art. He had memorized every move at heart, and his performance was quite skilled and proficient. However, this was the first time that he practiced it with using the Vital Spirit, so he was a little bit slow in the execution.

The legendary sword with Vital Spirit infused also emitted a hint of sword yi, the various sword movements were sharp and vivid.  [Note: Sword yi is what you would call sword intent in other novels. I found intent to be confusing, so I will use the same concept as sword qi, and transliterate it to sword yi. Sword yi is a force of the sword that you gain by comprehending the sword]

Gusts of wind moved down the forest, and blew down numerous leaves. However, with Xiao Chen practicing the sword art, oddly there was no leaf on the ground where Shao Xuan was standing at. It was very clean.

Gradually, an hour pa.s.sed, and it seemed that Xiao Chen was completely immersed in the sword yi. The more he swung the legendary sword, the more vigorous he became. He felt that it was impossible for him to stop, as if he had none-consumable physical strength inside him. The earlier hesitation all gone in the wind, he slowly began controlling the legendary sword infused with Vital Spirit freely.

As time went by, Xiao Chen began to move even faster and he became more skilled than before. Sometimes he would leap up high and sweep the surroundings, while sometimes he would slash down with the sword in the air with a stunning momentum.

“Let’s see how sharp the legendary sword can be!” Xiao Chen cheerfully shouted out with a laugh as he practiced, and then swept the sword towards a tree with a trunk the width of a bucket.

“Whoosh!”

The sword swept, however there was no change to the tree. But, Xiao Chen was one hundred positive that the sword had chopped down at the tree.

Staring at the tree for a bit, Xiao Chen asked himself curiously, “What happened? Why is there no reaction?”

Xiao Chen went closer to check on it, and found that obviously there was a slight thin mark in the middle of the trunk. It was hard to spot if you looked from afar.

“Is that the slash mark I made earlier? Why is the tree not damaged at all?” Xiao Chen was confused, and he reached out to touch the mark subconsciously.

It was only one gentle touch, but the big tree moved, and began to tilt in one direction. In the end, it fell down to the ground. It made such a big noise that the birds in the surroundings all fled in panic.

Xiao Chen was stunned and his mind blanked out for nearly two minutes, before he finally came back to his senses. It was hard for him to believe that his swing cut down such a big tree easily, while the cut surface was so flat and smooth.

Xiao Chen stared at the legendary sword in his hand with a surprised look and shouted out, “Wow…Unexpectedly the legendary sword is so incredibly powerful!”

After the astonishment he experienced, endless joy filled his chest. More motivation for cultivating poured out from his body, so he began to crazily practice the sword art unceasingly.

Time went by fast. When it was dark, Xiao Chen returned to the cave after eating some bark as supper. Now since he had cultivated the Vital Spirit, sleep was no longer a basic need of his. He quite spiritedly cultivated every day.

Xiao Chen did not directly start cultivating when he returned to the cave. Instead, he took a rest first, and then took out the Ghost Shadow Spirit technique. It was a powerful movement technique, which had a very important role in real combat.

“Now, I have already cultivated the Ancient Chaos Sword Art. Even though my cultivation on that is merely basic, I’m skilled in all the moves. Only thing left of it is further comprehending the essence of the sword art! Now it’s time to cultivate the Ghost Shadow Spirit technique.” Xiao Chen said to himself, and began to carefully read the information on that technique.

“The Ghost Shadow Spirit technique! It is a supreme movement technique. If one masters it, he would be able to kill without being physically present. The speed would be extremely fast and be almost comparable to Instant Transmission.”

“It’s such an awesome movement technique. Is it really true that with it one could kill without being physically present?” Xiao Chen was stunned, and once again looked at the introduction of the movement technique. However, at the same time, he was very excited, for the cultivation art and movement technique he cultivated were both so powerful.

But, when Xiao Chen was about to start cultivating, he suddenly saw a line of dazzling words, which said, “This movement technique could only be cultivated when one has reached the early Jindan stage.”

“You got to be kidding me… I have to reach the early Jindan stage to cultivate that?” Shao Xuan was disappointed instantly. Such an amazing movement technique… He wanted to start on it right away, but now he was told that he had to achieve the Jindan stage before he could start on it.

However, after thinking about it for a bit, Xiao Chen felt relieved after all. It was such a powerful movement technique, and powerful things shouldn’t be so easy to cultivate. Since he could not start on that, Xiao Chen had to cultivate the Sacred Destruction Art.

For these past few days, Xiao Chen had been cultivating the Sacred Destruction Art and the Ancient Chaos Sword Art. During daylight he would practice the sword art, while at night he cultivated the Sacred Destruction Art. The two of them had no conflict at all, and his strength had a considerable progress.

In the blink of an eye, three months had pa.s.sed. Xiao Chen, who was crazily cultivating alone, had yet another major breakthrough. After only three months of cultivation, Xiao Chen had achieved the Xindong stage! Earlier he was only in mid Ronghe stage! It was only three months, but he broke through twice and reached a new stage at the same time!

His astonishing speed of progress was quite a few times faster than others! In fact, the others might never be able to imagine that progress. In only a little more than nine months, Xiao Chen who started as a loser without Vital Spirit, achieved early Xindong stage in cultivation.

“Great! Amazing! I had yet another breakthrough in cultivation! Thank you so much, Master Ba Hun! I probably would have still been that waste without you! It won’t be long before I become stronger than the elders in Xiao Family.” Xiao Chen’s was more than happy, and he thanked Ba Hun’s help from his heart.

With the joy and cheers he felt, Xiao Chen did not continue to cultivate, but went to check on the other treasures in the storage ring with an innocent smile on his young face.

“What? Is this…is this a jade slip? It looked similar with the jade slips from the Immortal Dao Sect.” As he was checking on the things in the storage ring, suddenly Xiao Chen found a jade slip. It was made from bamboo, and he had seen similar ones in Immortal Dao Sect.

Curious, Xiao Chen circulated Vital Spirit, and then poured the Vital Spirit into the jade slip, to see what information was inside. If you don’t look, you won’t know. But as he looked, he was startled.

“Oh, c.r.a.p!” as soon as the Vital Spirit poured in, suddenly a flame-like black thing rushed out fast and immediately swallowed Xiao Chen inside.
