Chapter 1: Seven Years
After all, Lian Yun's new ideas were clear, but even though the attributes of the sword techniques he was merging were quite similar, differences still emerged. Thus, merging these one thousand sword techniques proved to be a formidable challenge. During the integration process, Lian Yun often needed to switch between basic sword techniques.
After two years of effort, Lian Yun finally completed the fusion of ten thousand basic sword techniques, creating the true Ten Thousand Sword Technique.
The power of this Ten Thousand Sword Technique was comparable to that of a technique formed by merging ten advanced sword techniques.
Some might wonder why Lian Yun didn't simply use the technique formed by merging ten advanced sword techniques instead of going through the trouble of fusing ten thousand basic ones.
However, the distinction lay in the fact that Lian Yun's Ten Thousand Sword Technique was only in its initial stage; it represented the potential of the technique, while the technique formed from ten advanced sword techniques was at its maximum power with little room for growth.
Moreover, to a certain extent, Lian Yun's Ten Thousand Sword Technique had a higher potential than what Xiao Jun desired from his own sword creation. This meant that the ultimate achievement of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique could surpass what Xiao Jun aimed to create.
This was something that could not be compared to a technique formed from just ten sword techniques.
Additionally, the merged sword techniques were essentially Lian Yun's own creations, which he could use independently. This meant that Lian Yun now possessed countless Myriad Sword Techniques, and this number would only increase over time.
After nearly five years of contemplation, he finally created the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, filling his heart with immense joy. However, he did not relax; instead, he immediately summoned all his Ghost Slaves back.
He wanted to see how much his Ghost Slaves had grown, especially Chen Er Gou, who still had not found his own combat path.
Yet, what pained and baffled Lian Yun was that his Ghost Slaves either showed no growth at all or had 'died' outside.
However, Lian Yun quickly calmed down because this was his own dreamscape, not theirs. Since he did not know their experiences, he could not gauge their growth.
He could only judge based on their individual personalities and abilities. If they ventured out alone, they might have encountered dangers outside and thus met their demise within this dreamscape.
The initial period of equipment forging was due to another reason altogether.
Because of the contract signed with them, Lian Yun actually knew all of his Ghost Slaves' thoughts. However, out of respect for them, he never pried into their inner thoughts.
Not prying did not mean being unaware; it was like an automatic filter—he knew but chose not to care.
This allowed Lian Yun to study and develop sets of equipment for his Ghost Slaves.
However, looking back now, it seems that Lian Yun's previous concept of the equipment may not be the most suitable for the Ghost Slaves, as he was unaware of what they experienced in their dreams.
Nonetheless, having a foundation means that there won't be many areas needing improvement. With this clarity, he could save a lot of time when forging equipment for them.
Another aspect is the Soul Sword, which is based on solid experience and the refinement of forging techniques over five years in the city. This allows for a significant reduction in the time required to forge thousands of Soul Swords.
Having realized all this, Lian Yun still had not awakened.
Thus, Lian Yun began to cultivate the Ten Thousand Sword Technique with a calm mind, focusing solely on practice and comprehension without engaging in anything excessive. Le resumed his studies in Qin Art, while Yan concentrated on practicing sword techniques, honing some integrated forms that he could use later in Yin City.
Although the sword techniques appeared similar, they still differed from those of the Xianjian Sect, making it less likely for others to suspect Yan's origins from there and even less likely to connect him to Lian Yun himself.
Le's clone had limited achievements in Qin Art due to assisting with sword technique comprehension.
In truth, it might be that Lian Yun himself did not place much importance on soul attack methods. After all, he possessed a piece of Soul Material that could defend against such attacks, and once he reached Yin City, he would have opportunities to encounter those methods.
As for the achievements of Cheng's clone, they were quite remarkable. While his proficiency in Forging Technique was steadily improving, three years ago he had already formed a thin protective Vibrational Force around his body. Over these three years, this Vibrational Force continuously strengthened his Soul Body constitution. Although he did not possess an exceptionally robust physique now, he had developed a solidity akin to rock.
Moreover, since he was a Soul Body, Cheng dared not unleash his protective Vibrational Force too greatly for fear of dispersing it.
However, while cultivating the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, Lian Yun's body trembled slightly as another layer of protective Vibrational Force emerged. As time passed, this Vibrational Force grew thicker.
Unlike his clone, Lian Yun's true body had a physical presence; thus, a stronger physique naturally allowed him to endure greater Vibrational Force.
Half a year later, Lian Yun's true body entered the state of forging Soul Material. Although he remained indifferent towards self-advancing Soul Gear, he still hoped to obtain some if possible.
Additionally, his protective Vibrational Force only provided shield-like defensive capabilities and lacked the inward rotation ability like that of the Insect Emperor. Therefore, Lian Yun aimed to comprehend this aspect.
However, unlike the Insect Emperor, Lian Yun believed that the Insect Emperor was 'narrow-minded' and unwilling to let go of those who wished to harm him; hence the inward rotation. In contrast, Lian Yun desired his protective Vibrational Force to be outwardly rotating.
This would provide some recoil force that could not only reduce damage but also potentially harm opponents—an important factor for Yan Clone. Furthermore, outward rotation might create some sound waves that could disrupt soul attacks.
To be honest, at this point, Lian Yun finally felt a sense of abundance regarding time. Previously, whether before or after his mindset changed, he had always been in a state of urgency regarding time.
Now that time felt ample, Lian Yun's mentality became more relaxed. He approached forging Soul Material with an unhurried attitude that allowed him to deeply appreciate the nuances learned from Master Mo. Additionally, his growth in Vibrational Force was progressing by leaps and bounds.
Time flowed quietly, and in a moment of unawareness, Lian Yun felt a shift before his eyes as the surroundings transformed into the courtyard of Lan Ruoxuan.
Previously, Lian Yun had been crafting Soul Material, but upon returning to his body, he found himself sitting cross-legged. The sudden change left him feeling a heaviness in his chest.
Before he could think further, he sensed his Mental Power rapidly diminishing like receding tides, while his physical strength drained away like a mountain torrent.
Without hesitation, Lian Yun took out a large number of Mental Potions. He consumed them ten at a time, and although he was unsure of the condition of his Ghost Slaves behind him, he still distributed some Mental Potions in front of them.
Additionally, he absorbed a significant amount of Diamond Spirit Coins.
After drinking nearly three hundred Mental Potions, Lian Yun finally felt his Mental Power begin to recover and surprisingly increase. He then sensed that the Ghost Slaves were waking up almost simultaneously with him and had also regained their strength.
With that, Lian Yun waved his hand to send them back into the Yin-Yang Stage to continue their adjustments.
“How long?” asked Lan Ruoxuan expressionlessly.
“About seven years!”
