What sword-controlling skill are you using?
What sword dao principles are you following?
How does the spiritual power circulate?
How is the sword qi transmitted?
Why can the sword still explode?
...
Everyone was puzzled.
In their lifetime, theyâve never seen such an unconventional sword-controlling method.
Why?
Why could Mo Hua, who clearly doesnât know swordsmanship, control a flying sword and instantly defeat Daluo Sectâs sword-controlling genius?
Where did his sword dao attainments come from?
Was it just blind luck and fortunate guessing?
Or is this Mo Hua truly an unimaginable sword dao genius, even more brilliant than Daluo Sectâs prodigies?
Has he mastered an incomprehensible, world-shaking sword technique?
With such shock and indescribable emotions, numerous Elders of Daoist Law meticulously analyzed and reviewed the image of Mo Hua controlling the sword, afraid of missing a single detail.
In the end, they finally understood and angrily said:
"Controlling a damn sword!"
"Itâs not even sword control!"
"This isnât even swordsmanship!"
"Cultivators controlling swords integrate their life and sword, aligning their thoughts, to wield it like an extension of themselves and maximize the power of sword control."
"Sword control is a more advanced swordsmanship, requiring comprehension of sword dao, honing of sword qi, alignment of man and sword, uniting heart and mind..."
"Mo Hua possesses none of these qualities of sword dao."
"No wonder, heâs not even a sword cultivator. Heâs merely using âdivine sense manipulationâ to control the sword."
"You think heâs controlling a sword, but heâs treating the sword as a âstickâ to manipulate."
Everyone was truly infuriated.
"What absurdity..."
"An insult to sword dao, an unforgivable crime!"
"Almost got deceived by this brat again. I thought he was truly a sword dao prodigy, who could learn sword control instantly..."
"Turns out it was just another trick..."
"Such devious tactics abound."
"Did he really think this up himself?"
"What else could it be? A proper sword cultivator wouldnât sacrifice their spirit sword like that."
"A true âdeviantâ."
However, some had a different opinion:
"Honestly, this isnât simple. It almost passes as a remarkably powerful sword-controlling skill."
Another Sword Dao Elder sneered, "It merely appears so. The principles are rather âclumsyâ, appearance without essence, far from the intricacies of orthodox sword control."
"But Daluo Sectâs âorthodoxâ sword-controlling genius was killed by his single sword strike."
The Sword Dao Elder was left speechless, "Thatâs because... Ye Zhiyuan he... is only in the Foundation Establishment stage. Once reaching Golden Core, it will be different..."
Someone echoed: "Indeed, at the Foundation Establishment stage, the power of sword control isnât apparent. Once reaching Golden Core, the true strength of orthodox sword control will be revealed."
"Once orthodox sword control exerts its power, Mo Huaâs âdeviantâ sword control is no match."
"Correct."
"Then, this concludes our understanding..."
A senior elder summarized:
"Mo Huaâs sword control is false; he doesnât know swordsmanship or sword control. Essentially, he relies on his divine sense advantage to perform âdivine sense manipulation.â"
"More or less..."
"I still donât understand, where does the power of his sword control come from? He doesnât know swordsmanship, has no sword techniques, no sword qi, no sword intent, and his spirit sword is of poor quality..."
"The spirit sword explodes."
"Can an explosion be so destructive?"
"Itâs not just that..."
A sword cultivator elder from an aristocratic family, who studied sword arrays, said:
"The inside of the sword was drawn with a sword array by Mo Hua."
"This sword array has been modified with a custom formation, able to directly derive sword qi by converting spirit stones."
"But thereâs more..."
"Mo Huaâs spirit sword must also be custom-made."
"Such spirit swords are cheap in material, fragile and explosive. Once overloaded with sword qi, the explosive shards of the sword blade itself have considerable lethality."
"A self-destructive sword array, combined with a self-cracking spirit sword, is where this âsword controlâ truly excels."
The elders were astonished upon hearing this.
"So ultimately, this is still a Formation Masterâs method, not a sword cultivatorâs approach?"
"Itâs merely a sword in form, but the core is still formation."
"The sword is just a vessel, carrying a âself-destructiveâ sword array meant for âself-explosion.â"
Such a concept is bizarre yet practical.
Some orthodox, sword-obsessed elders who love swords as life, cursed Mo Hua for self-destructing his spirit sword, considering it a waste and desecration of the sword dao.
But most of the elders were still shocked at heart.
Mo Hua, in the realm of formations, truly possesses an âingenious talentâ beyond ordinary bounds, as if gifted by divine spirits.
The title of Qianxue Array Dao Leader is well-deserved...
Some elders even secretly became inclined to cherish such talent.
Of course, no matter how much they lament the need to cherish talent, they still must do what needs doing.
An elder sighed helplessly:
"Study and think of a way to counter it..."
These words, theyâve said countless times in recent days, to the point of numbness...
...
In the great hall, the sectâs elders were busy researching Mo Huaâs âsword controlâ, unable to sleep day and night.
Meanwhile, the Tumo Order was just as âbustlingâ.
"What is the Taixu Gate anyway?"
"Exactly."
"Itâs just that theyâve surpassed the Daluo Sect to become the leader of the Eight Great Gates."
"Mo Hua, just a fame-seeking opportunist, canât even wield a sword, yet tries to engage in sword discussions?"
"Mo Hua, indeed, canât wield a sword, but he can âcontrolâ it, and with one sword killed... who was it again?"
"Who from the Daluo Sect?"
"I think his surname was Ye? Called Ye Zhiyuan..."
