46: Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique

Walking through the forest, Ji Mo could clearly sense streams of aura lurking around him, indicating that this was the territory of various Yao Beasts.

However, at this moment, Ji Mo had no interest in hunting; he just wanted to find a safe place to rest properly.

Finally, a small lake appeared in front, entering Ji Mo's view.

He cautiously investigated and found that the lake water was not deep, nor did he detect the aura of any powerful Yao Beasts.

There were two third-tier turtle Yao Beasts in the lake, which Ji Mo easily dealt with.

Ji Mo did not refine all of them; instead, he specifically left two hind legs, as he suddenly felt like having a barbecue.

Following his usual habit, Ji Mo first washed himself clean, then skillfully built a bonfire.

With a flash of his Sword Light, he deftly cut the meat into small pieces, skewered them on branches, and began to meticulously roast them.

Next, he took out two bottles of fruit wine from his storage space.

Thus, Ji Mo leisurely enjoyed the delicious roasted meat and fragrant fruit wine while appreciating the moonlight in the sky, looking utterly content.

After fully enjoying this rare period of leisure, Ji Mo carved out a space in the middle of an ancient tree, which would require more than a dozen people to embrace, just large enough to accommodate one person.

He took out the Secret Manual of the Drawing Sword Technique, preparing to begin comprehending it.

After a moment of thought, he summoned the heaven and earth creation bell, enveloping himself within it.

This way, even if he became too engrossed in comprehending the Sword Technique and fell into deep meditation, he would have some protection in case of an attack.

As Ji Mo fully immersed his mind in the wondrous world of the Sword Technique,

the little sword that had always accompanied him seemed to sense something and began to stir.

Immediately after, Ji Mo's consciousness was once again pulled into that special space by a mysterious force.

The familiar figure began to continuously demonstrate the Drawing Sword Technique again, each move and stance incredibly clear.

At this moment, Ji Mo's consciousness was like a dry sponge, eagerly absorbing a vast amount of Sword Dao knowledge.

The figure demonstrating the Sword Technique seemed to become transparent,

and Ji Mo was actually able to clearly see the trajectory of Spiritual Qi circulating within its Meridians.

This discovery was like a sudden enlightenment, making Ji Mo instantly understand the unique operational method of this Cultivation Technique.

Just as Ji Mo thought this comprehension was about to end, the figure demonstrating the Sword Technique suddenly underwent an astonishing transformation.

The acupoints along the special cultivation route were suddenly covered by golden lights.

Ji Mo looked closely and realized that they were small furnaces integrating into them.

What followed was a significant change in the Spiritual Qi flowing through the Meridians.

The Spiritual Qi was constantly being compressed, as if squeezed by an invisible immense force, becoming increasingly condensed.

At the same time, wisps of Sword Intent, like fine spider silk, quietly covered the Spiritual Qi, adding a sharp edge to it.

The spiritual power, like a surging torrent, rapidly circulated powerfully within the Meridians, with streaks of powerful, sharp Qi hidden within.

In an instant, these auras converged into streaks of Sword Light.

Immediately after, the continuously compressed Sword Light began to pour wildly into the sword in hand, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The sword in hand seemed like a bottomless pit,

greedily absorbing these Sword Lights, and on the sword body, layer upon layer of incredibly sharp Sword Light rapidly condensed.

A captivating sharpness spread continuously from the sword body outwards.

When the Sword Light on the sword body was compressed to its maximum tolerable limit, the figure finally struck.

With a movement almost imperceptible to the naked eye, it held the precious sword and slashed fiercely towards the sky.

In an instant, it was as if the entire world fell into a bizarre silence.

Immediately after, a Sword Qi more than 10 meters long abruptly appeared in the air, as if conjured from nothingness.

Where the Sword Qi passed, the sky was instantly torn open with a black gash, like a hideous scar.

Endless Void Realm turbulence frantically surged out from that gash, raging and roaring,

as if to devour everything around it.

In just a moment, the sky returned to clarity, as if the shocking scene had never happened.

Ji Mo's consciousness also abruptly returned to his body at this time.

His mind was shaken as never before, unable to regain calm for a long time.

Ji Mo truly did not expect this Sword Technique to be so terrifying.

"No, it's not the Sword Technique itself that's terrifying."

Ji Mo quickly realized that this was the effect after being enhanced by the Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art, which made this Sword Technique surpass its original grade.

As for what specific Realm it had reached, Ji Mo's current understanding could not yet determine.

However, just based on the power that could cleave the sky, Ji Mo felt that it should now be called "Sky-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique."

After all, if it can even cleave the sky, this name is not an exaggeration.

At this moment, Ji Mo's heart was burning like fire, and he couldn't wait to start practicing on the spot.

As Ji Mo circulated his full cultivation base, small furnaces emitted soft golden light, covering his entire body.

Dense Spiritual Qi, like a rushing river, surged wildly into his body.

Under the skillful guidance of Sword Intent, tides of Spiritual Qi containing Sword Light surged like turbulent waves within his body, until they reached the maximum limit his body could contain.

Ji Mo continuously poured that special Spiritual Qi, which condensed his entire essence, into the sword body. Immediately after, he fiercely drew his sword and swung it forcefully towards the sky.

In an instant, a Sword Qi more than 10 meters long, like an unbridled wild horse, roared out from the sword in his hand.

The space beneath the Sword Qi rippled like a calm lake hit by a giant rock, generating layers of ripples.

These ripples spread for hundreds of meters before shattering with a "boom."

Unfortunately, this Sword Qi ultimately did not cleave space as it had been demonstrated before.

Ji Mo stopped his movements and began to seriously summarize.

He pondered that, firstly, his own Sword Intent was not profound enough to support such a powerful Sword Technique in unleashing its full power.

Secondly, he was not proficient enough in using this "Sky-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique," and many subtle points had not yet been mastered.

However, even so, Ji Mo was already quite satisfied.

He checked his Sword Intent and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had unconsciously reached seventy percent.

It seemed that comprehending such a high-grade Sword Technique indeed provided a very considerable boost to one's own Sword Intent.

Ji Mo subconsciously looked up at the sky and was startled to realize that it was already bright daylight.

He suddenly realized that merely comprehending the Sword Technique had unknowingly taken several hours.

Since coming to this unfamiliar world, Ji Mo's concept of time had become increasingly blurred; now, only the simple distinction between day and night remained in his mind.

Thereafter, Ji Mo's journey fell into a monotonous cycle.

He constantly roamed around the periphery of the Eternal Forest, continuously hunting Yao Beasts and then refining their inner cores.

With Ji Mo's current strength, breaking through to the Xiantian Realm would be effortless, but he did not rush it.

He harbored a grander goal in his heart, hoping to achieve a simultaneous Breakthrough in both his Physical Body and cultivation base.

Recalling his conversation with his prospective father-in-law, Shangguan Batian,

Shangguan Batian had offered constructive advice, strongly urging Ji Mo to prioritize breaking through his Physical Body cultivation.

After all, once one reached the Innate Physical Body Realm, it would undoubtedly provide Ji Mo with more room to maneuver in his future cultivation path.

If he could achieve a Physical Body Breakthrough first, it would undoubtedly be a comprehensive and deep-level improvement for himself.

The first and foremost would be the Dantian capacity, which would inevitably expand significantly.

The Dantian, as the key storage for spiritual power, is like a cultivator's energy treasure trove.

Its expanded capacity means being able to store more immense spiritual power, providing a solid energy foundation for subsequently performing various powerful Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.

At the same time, all the Meridians throughout the body would undergo a transformative strengthening.

Meridians are like channels for the circulation of spiritual power; their toughness and unobstructedness directly affect the efficiency of spiritual power transmission.

Strengthened Meridians can not only withstand more surging and powerful spiritual power impacts,

but also allow spiritual power to flow more smoothly and unhindered within the body,

thereby greatly enhancing a cultivator's precision in controlling spiritual power and the speed of its execution.
