Celestial Realm Alchemy Sovereign

Terra Su's sword moves seemed chaotic and without pattern, as if he was swinging and retracting his sword at will. Yet, despite the apparent randomness, the sword strikes were immensely powerful. It felt as though anyone who approached him would be instantly slain by a single strike.

This wasn't Terra Su truly swinging his sword haphazardly; rather, it was the first level of the "Nine Layers of Sword Essence," a sword technique realm that emphasized breaking free from the constraints of sword forms, embracing an unorthodox style.

After three full hours, Terra Su was drenched in sweat, and the True Essence within his dantian was completely depleted. He exhaled slowly and then stopped.

Whoosh!

The sword-shaped airflow in his palm dissipated.

"I've finally reached the introductory level of the first layer of the 'Nine Layers of Sword Essence.'"

A look of joy appeared on Terra Su's face, and even his heartbeat quickened slightly. Mastering the first layer of the "Nine Layers of Sword Essence" meant he had officially grasped a sword manual, marking his transition from a mere swordsman to a sword cultivator.

In the Martial Dao world, any martial practitioner who wielded a sword could be called a swordsman, just like those who wielded knives were called knife wielders, with little technical depth. However, a sword cultivator was different. Being called a sword cultivator indicated a significant level of attainment in the way of the sword, proving one's suitability and proficiency in sword cultivation.
