Chapter 6: The Light and Dark Sword Elemental Force
He set aside the matter of the Taiji diagram and began to comprehend the "Sword Qi Ascending to the Heavens Technique." The principles of the "Sword Qi Ascending to the Heavens Technique" are profoundly intricate, and Lin Xiao was deeply impressed by the genius of Master Lingxiao. One can only imagine how magnificent it was when Master Lingxiao pioneered sword cultivation in his time, traversing the realm of cultivation and ultimately becoming a generation's grandmaster.
Only Lin Xiao, this fellow who crossed over from another world, was heavily influenced by those xianxia novels. Therefore, he thought a lot and dared to make such a decision. Moreover, from another perspective, this was an attempt with no danger or cost involved, so why not go for it? It is evident that Lin Xiao made the right bet
Finally, I have reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Heart Method. Cultivating immortality is not as simple as it is portrayed in novels. Lin Xiao counted on his fingers and realized that it has already been thirteen years since he began his cultivation. No disciple of the Lingxiao Sect possesses such great determination and courage. They spend two or three years cultivating the Foundation Establishment Heart Method to the fifth level, and even after reaching the fourth level, they begin to practice the "Sword Qi Soaring in the Sky" technique, as they do not believe that the Foundation Establishment Heart Method holds much significance, nor can they resist the allure of flying on a sword like an immortal.
In fact, not to mention him, even if the immortal Ling Xiao were to return from the celestial realm, he might not be able to comprehend it. There are two aspects related to the book. Firstly, he has cultivated the "Qingxin Jue" to the ninth level. However, the most crucial factor is that an adult soul has traversed into the body of a child of about ten years old. The brain of this body has not developed its cerebral regions sufficiently to accommodate his soul. Therefore, under the body's self-regulatory function, the cerebral regions were forcibly developed, enhancing his mental strength.

At this moment, the dantian was already filled with purple mist. In the center of the purple mist, a Taiji diagram was slowly rotating. Lin Xiao was truly surprised by the emergence of the Taiji diagram. In his previous life, he had practiced Taiji extensively, yet such a phenomenon had never occurred. Therefore, he could only lament that this world could not be inferred by common logic.
In a state of great joy, Lin Xiao conducted several more experiments and discovered that the light sword energy was sharp and had strong penetrating power, while the dark sword energy possessed corrosive properties. The light and dark spiral sword energy exhibited explosive characteristics, demonstrating astonishing power. There may be other abilities as well, but they are not yet apparent. After several experiments, although he had exhausted the sword essence he had painstakingly cultivated, the results filled him with exceptional delight and excitement, further enhancing his determination to practice.
Having comprehended the heart method, the next step is cultivation. Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth, which, after being transformed by the heart method, becomes an energy that can be controlled by oneself. The vast majority of cultivation sects transform the absorbed spiritual energy into true essence power. However, the heart method of the Lingxiao Sect is distinctly unusual; after the spiritual energy enters the body, it transforms into sword essence power. Compared to true essence power, sword essence power is characterized by its dominance, being exceedingly domineering. This is also the reason why the sword techniques and sword qi attacks of the Lingxiao Sect possess formidable power. The dominance of sword essence power imposes higher requirements on the body. To prevent the meridians and body from being harmed by sword essence power, the immortal of Lingxiao passed down the "Body Refinement Technique" to strengthen the body and meridians
As the situation stabilized, he hurriedly checked his physical condition. The moment his consciousness entered the sea of awareness, he was startled by what he saw; in the center of the sea, resembling a vast ocean of clouds, there was a pale blue hexagonal crystal that was continuously rotating. Lin Xiao gasped in surprise, and he could guess that this was his spiritual essence crystal. Could it be that cultivating the "Heart Purification Technique" to the ninth level is this extraordinary?
Moreover, if there are any errors in the understanding of the heart method, there is even a possibility of losing one's life. Therefore, under normal circumstances, one begins cultivation under the guidance of a master. The True Person Mingxin is deeply devoted to sword refining and does not take much responsibility for his disciples. Lin Xiao can only rely on himself; for the sake of his own life, he spent two years contemplating. During this time, he started over countless times, scrutinizing every sentence, every word, and every character. The effort does not betray the diligent; as time passed, Lin Xiao's understanding of the heart method became increasingly profound, and he finally reached a state of complete comprehension.
Even though Lin Xiao's "Heart Purification Technique" had already reached the ninth level, with a vast mind and a stable spirit, he could not help but feel a bit excited as he was about to officially begin practicing the "Sword Qi Ascending to the Heavens Technique." Such a mindset is understandable but undesirable, so he quickly adjusted his state. Only when his mind was completely calm did he finally commence his true first practice.
Thus, his mental strength is considerably stronger than that of his peers in this world. After practicing the "Qingxin Jue," his mental power was gradually transformed into divine consciousness. Previously, he was fortunate enough to absorb the coveted Dan Yang Purple Qi, and under the influence of the characteristics of Dan Yang Purple Qi, he finally condensed his divine consciousness into a crystal.
The spiritual energy was continuously transformed into the light and dark sword elemental force by the Taiji diagram. After the first round of cultivation, a surge of sword elemental force had already formed within Lin Xiao's body. He attempted to unleash a sword qi, and a beam of black and white spiral sword qi shot out, instantly shattering a large rock into fragments. Lin Xiao was astonished, his mouth agape, and after a moment, he burst into hearty laughter, realizing that this power was even stronger than other sword elemental forces. After some thought, he tried to manifest a single-attribute sword elemental force. A beam of pure white sword qi shot from his fingertips, piercing a hole in the stone wall.

He recalled the humiliation he had suffered when he was just reborn into this world and had become a beggar, the vow he had made to become strong and to trample this world underfoot. With such motivation, Lin Xiao persisted in cultivating the foundational techniques while also comprehending the cultivation methods of the "Sword Qi Ascending to the Heavens". Understanding the techniques is the foundation of cultivation, and the degree of comprehension of these techniques determines a cultivator's future speed of advancement and how far they can ultimately go.
With such an object in hand, he attempted to see if he could harness any of its power, only to discover that he was utterly unable to draw forth any energy from it. He had a feeling that this Taiji diagram was far from simple, and he must have stumbled upon a stroke of luck to have cultivated such an item. Currently, with no cultivation at all, perhaps he would come to understand what it truly was in the future
However, Lin Xiao, who was in a state of introspection, was startled. After the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entered his body, it was completely absorbed by the Taiji diagram, which subsequently released a dual-colored sword essence of black and white. Normally, after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enters the body, it would transform into sword essence of the same attribute as the body, in accordance with the mental method.
According to the records in "The Sword Qi Ascending to the Heavens", there are generally seven types of sword elemental forces, namely: Geng Metal Sword Element, Yi Wood Sword Element, Gui Water Sword Element, Bing Fire Sword Element, Wu Earth Sword Element, Xun Wind Sword Element, and Zhen Thunder Sword Element. Each of the seven sword elemental forces has its own characteristics: the golden Geng Metal Sword Element is sharp, the green Yi Wood Sword Element is light and agile, the blue Gui Water Sword Element is cold and阴寒, the red Bing Fire Sword Element is scorching, the orange Wu Earth Sword Element is heavy, the cyan Xun Wind Sword Element is ethereal, and the purple Zhen Thunder Sword Element is violent.

However, there are no records regarding the sword elemental powers of the colors black and white, so it seems that this is the first instance of its kind. Based on his intuition, Lin Xiao deduced that these two colors represent the energies of darkness and light. For a moment, he was uncertain whether this was a blessing or a curse; in any case, he realized he had cultivated a peculiar phenomenon. Fortunately, this light and dark sword elemental power completely obeyed his commands; otherwise, he would have truly gone mad.
The mental technique had long been thoroughly comprehended, thus the beginning of the cultivation was exceptionally smooth. As the mental technique operated, the first wisp of spiritual energy transformed into sword essence, and his body immediately became a vortex. Vast amounts of natural spiritual energy converged from all directions, entering his body. With the operation of the mental technique, the spiritual energy was rapidly transformed into sword essence, circulating swiftly within the meridians.
