I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1105 《Dongxuan Sword Scripture》 Chapter 1108: Chapter 1105 《Dongxuan Sword Scripture》 After Patriarch Mu left, Lu Xuan returned to his previous life as a Spirit Plant Master.

Aside from stabilizing his Nascent Soul Realm, there wasn’t much difference from his usual routine.

“I should go to the Scripture Treasury Pavilion to study the fundamental cultivation techniques of our sect,” he suddenly decided one day, after checking on all the spirit plants in the spirit field.

Having ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, he now had access to the mysterious techniques and sword techniques stored by the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect had many cultivation techniques, but he had already practiced the “Divine Cloud True Law”, which could completely assist him in cultivating to the Divine Transformation Realm. Additionally, with many Seventh Grade Spirit Plant Spheres waiting to be unlocked, he didn’t have high demands for other cultivation techniques.

However, he had long admired the Sword Sect’s fundamental cultivation method, the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture”.

It was rumored that the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture” contained almost all the sword techniques in the Cultivation World. After practicing it, one could gain insight into all the swordsmanship in the world, making it a supreme treasure for Sword Cultivators.

Lu Xuan was equally curious and decided to properly cultivate it.

Moreover, he had another goal: through the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture”, he aimed to comprehend as many high-rank sword techniques as possible. In the future, when cultivating high-grade Sword Grass, he would naturally have an advantage without having to start from scratch in practicing corresponding sword techniques.

Thinking of this, he went directly to the Sword Sect’s Scripture Pavilion.

The Scripture Treasury Pavilion was located in the core area of the Sword Sect, surrounded by layers of Prohibitions and Restrictions. Even Inner Sect Disciples couldn’t easily enter it.

Having ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, Lu Xuan naturally passed through without obstacles and arrived at the top of the Scripture Treasury Pavilion.

“Senior Brother, I am Huanzhen Sword Peak’s Lu Xuan, and I wish to enter the Dongxuan Realm to comprehend the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture”,” Lu Xuan said to a middle-aged swordsman with a carefree and unrestrained air.

“So it’s Junior Brother Lu. Congratulations on your ascension to the Nascent Soul. Due to my duties guarding the Scripture Treasury Pavilion, I couldn’t attend your Nascent Soul celebration ceremony. Please forgive me,” the middle-aged swordsman said with a hint of a smile on his face.

“The Scripture Treasury Pavilion is the heart of our Sword Sect and requires Senior Brother’s constant guardianship,” Lu Xuan said respectfully, as the swordsman in front of him held a very high status within the Sword Sect, being in the Late Nascent Soul Stage Realm.

“You wish to cultivate the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture”, Junior Brother Lu?” the middle-aged swordsman asked with a smile.

“That’s right.”

“Then let me clarify before we proceed.”

“The “Dongxuan Sword Scripture” is a treasure that anchors our Sword Sect. It is concealed within the Dongxuan Realm and can only be summoned through special means.”

“The top floor of the Scripture Treasury Pavilion is one of the entry points. You need Qi Mou’s consent to enter or leave,” said the swordsman calmly.

“Once you enter the Dongxuan Realm, your range of activity will be limited. You can only contemplate and comprehend the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture” within a certain time period.”

“The “Dongxuan Sword Scripture” encompasses thousands of sword techniques from the Cultivation World. Some were created by Sword Tao geniuses from generations of our Sword Sect, some were collected from the Whole Sky Realm, and some were derived by the “Dongxuan Sword Scripture” itself. As for how much you can comprehend, it depends on your own fate,” he continued.

“Comprehending the Sword Scripture depends on multiple factors: sword Dao talent, the strength of divine sense, insight, and spiritual constitution,” reminded the swordsman surnamed Qi.

“Junior Brother understands,” Lu Xuan nodded earnestly.

“Good. Then I will send you over. Call out to me softly when you can’t hold on any longer,” the swordsman said as a streak of sword light, like a shooting star, zipped past, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared on the top level of the Scripture Treasury Pavilion.

From within the rift emanated a strong Sword Intent.

Without a moment’s hesitation to observe, Lu Xuan flew directly into the rift.

His mind felt hazy, and he seemed to have arrived in a world of Sword Intent.

Thousands of Sword Intents roamed around him, each with distinctive characteristics—some mystically unpredictable, others with a killing aura reaching the heavens.

Moved by what he felt, Lu Xuan looked up.

One could see the sky as though an ancient book had been opened; numerous Sword Intents were like special characters engraved upon its pages, occasionally breaking free from the book to wander at will.

“Is this the ‘Dongxuan Sword Scripture’? It truly is extraordinary.”

Lu Xuan had already learned before entering that the Sword Intents here were harmless; he immersed his mind into the Sea of Consciousness and quietly contemplated.

After refining the Clear Sword Heart and absorbing several Thundering Sword Galls, even in a place filled with Sword Cultivators like the Sword Sect, he could be considered a Sword Tao genius.

Also, before entering, he had taken a dose of Pure Lustrous Tea Leaves in advance, and coupled with his powerful Divine Sense and the improved Spiritual Constitution from various factors, even when facing such a supreme Sword Scripture, he didn’t feel it to be too obscure or difficult to understand.

Gradually, within the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, strands of Sword Intent appeared out of nowhere, lightly dancing and condensing into an ancient book of Sword Intent.

This ancient book bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the ‘Dongxuan Sword Scripture’ that had covered the sky moments ago, except that it was blank and waiting for Lu Xuan’s inscription.

He felt as if an endless stream of Sword Intents surrounded his body; he observed the ‘Dongxuan Sword Scripture’ and seemed to develop a profound and thorough understanding of various Sword techniques.

Characters of Sword Intention appeared on the mimic ancient book within his Sea of Consciousness.

At first, they were only roughly formed, but slowly, they became clearer and more vivid, coming to life on the pages.

“One hundred and forty-seven Sword Intent characters, which means I have gleaned approximately one hundred and forty-seven Sword techniques from the ‘Dongxuan Sword Scripture’ during this visit to the Dongxuan Realm.”

Lu Xuan, feeling his head swell with pain, decided to temporarily withdraw.

“It’s a pity. I wonder when I’ll be able to enter the Dongxuan Realm again to contemplate and comprehend the ‘Dongxuan Sword Scripture’.”

He felt some regret in his heart and looked unwillingly at the ‘Dongxuan Sword Scripture’ above his head one last time.

“Senior Brother Qi, I’m ready to go. Please lead me out.”

He shouted towards the void.

At once, a radiant starlight Sword Qi cut through the endless void, enveloping him.

After an indeterminate period of haziness, when Lu Xuan came to his senses, he was already on the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

“Brother, how long did I stay in the Dongxuan Realm?” Lu Xuan asked curiously, his mind clear again.

“Nearly three months. For a first visit to the Dongxuan Realm and contemplating the Sword Scripture, it’s already quite good among fellow disciples.”

A glint of admiration flashed through the middle-aged swordsman’s eyes.

“May I boldly ask, Junior Brother Lu, how many Sword techniques have you comprehended?” he asked curiously.

“One hundred and forty-seven kinds,” Lu Xuan immediately replied.

Everything he did in the Dongxuan Realm was under the control of the other person, and knowing his talent in the Sword Dao well enough, he didn’t hide anything and answered truthfully.

“Being able to do this the first time, you could already be compared to those Sword Dao geniuses.”

“I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Lu, besides being proficient in Spirit Plants, would have such talent in the Sword Dao as well.”

“It’s a bit of a pity to let it go to waste,” the middle-aged swordsman sighed as if he felt Lu Xuan was squandering his talent.

“Being a Spirit Plant Master is much more promising than a Sword Cultivator!” Lu Xuan muttered to himself with a touch of sarcasm.

“It’s not exactly a waste. After all, I have cultivated many High Rank Sword Grasses, among which there are Seventh Grade ones.”

“Through the process of nurturing them, I needed to master the corresponding Sword techniques; over time, I also developed considerable competence in the Sword Dao.”

He smiled and made up an excuse on the spot.

“Haha, I was narrow-minded.”

“Using your Sword Dao skills in the cultivation and improvement of Sword Grass may indeed be much more useful than simply becoming a Sword Cultivator,” the middle-aged swordsman responded with a laugh.
