The inner palace was very quiet. Yun Che had been in the inner palace for a while, but still hadn't seen a single inner palace disciple. At this time, most of them were practicing in the Juxuan Tower.
Yun Che stood in the small courtyard, found a flat spot, took a deep breath, summoned his profound energy, and summoned the Overlord Giant Sword from the Sky Poison Pearl.
The Overlord Giant Sword was in his hand. Even though Yun Che was prepared, the weight of nearly 4,000 jin still weighed him down, and he almost dropped it. He gritted his teeth and held the hilt tightly with both hands, but he couldn't lift the entire giant sword. The lower half of the sword hit the hard ground heavily and sank deeply into it.
"Evil spirit!"
The evil spirit was activated, and Yun Che's entire body of profound energy was used. This time, he roared and grabbed the Overlord Giant Sword in its entirety. However, he only held on for a few breaths before the lower half of the sword fiercely smashed back to the ground. If Yun Che hadn't gritted his teeth to hold on, even the hilt of the sword would have slipped out of his hand.
“Huh…” Yun Che took back the Overlord Giant Sword and let out a long sigh. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and whispered to himself, “One day… I will definitely be able to control you!”
"Why did you choose this heavy sword? Just because it is of high grade?"
Jasmine's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
“Of course not.” Yun Che shook his head and said seriously: “Before I entered the Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, I also wanted to choose a sword, a light sword that most of the profound practitioners use. However, when I approached this heavy sword, I suddenly had a strange feeling. I felt that it seemed to be more suitable for me.”
"Why?" Jasmine asked. She rarely asked questions, but it seemed that she was very interested in why Yun Che chose this heavy sword.
“Because this is a sword of protection.” Yun Che raised his head slightly and said slowly.
Jasmine: “…”
"What Sikong Du said is correct. The heavy sword is a weapon that is not suitable for any Xuan practitioner. It is only suitable for the battlefield. If I were a pure Xuan practitioner, I would not choose this heavy sword, but I am not."
"I used to pursue power crazily, even now. The reason why I challenged Murong Yi rashly was to give myself enough pressure. However, my purpose and mentality in pursuing power are completely different from before. Because I have experienced things that others will never experience in their lifetime."
That is death... and resurrection.
"The reason why the Profound Sky Continent is named Profound Sky Continent is because cultivating the Mysterious is the main theme of this continent, and even the main theme of this world. The level of the Mysterious Power represents the status and reputation in this world. There are countless Mysterious practitioners in the Profound Sky Continent. Most of their lives are spent chasing higher Mysterious Power. However, most of them do not know the purpose of their pursuit of power until they die... They are just chasing, simply wanting to reach a higher level."
“But I am no longer the same as them. I now know clearly why I pursue power.” Yun Che closed his eyes and said gently, “I want to protect all the important people around me. I used to think that as long as I had a heart, as long as I treated them well and accompanied them, I could give them safety and happiness. But after losing them again and again, I finally realized that in this world where the weak are the prey of the strong and strength is respected, if I want to give them safety, I must make myself strong, strong enough for everyone to look up to me and not dare to bully me. Only in this way can I truly protect them and not lose them again.”
Jasmine: “…”
"The light sword is suitable for the mysterious. It is easy to control and master. It is not only light, but also has a variety of changes. It has always been the most perfect weapon throughout the ages. However, in terms of protection, it can never be compared with the heavy sword. The light sword can protect three or five people when it is swung... and the heavy sword can keep thousands of troops at bay when it is swung. As long as the people who need to be protected are protected behind, they can't be hurt unless they block my heavy sword and step over my body. Moreover, as to whether it is suitable for the mysterious, I don't completely agree with Sikong Du's words... No one chooses the heavy sword because the difficulty of controlling the heavy sword is thousands of times that of controlling the light sword, and the time required to familiarize yourself with the heavy sword is also thousands of times that of the light sword. But, if one day, you can wield the heavy sword as lightly as the light sword..."
"Then, in this world, is there anything that can withstand the might of the heavy sword?"
Yun Che spoke each word clearly. When he first saw the Overlord Giant Sword, this was the picture that came to his mind. However, he knew very well how difficult it would be to achieve this, and how long it would take. In the same twenty years, one person used a light sword and became a sword master. And the other person chose a heavy sword. Perhaps it would take a full twenty years to barely be able to control it freely, and during these twenty years, even the cultivation of profound strength would be dragged down. It would be difficult to win against opponents of the same level, and he would be despised all the way. Therefore, the profound practitioners who would choose the heavy sword are rare.
But Yun Che did just that. Perhaps there was another important reason, which was that he subconsciously did not want to make the same choice as the vast majority of profound practitioners.
After Yun Che finished speaking, Jasmine did not respond for a long time. Just when Yun Che was about to try the Overlord Greatsword again, Jasmine's voice came out faintly: "The reason you chose the heavy sword... is exactly the same as your brother's..."
Yun Che stopped his movements and whispered, “Your…brother? He also uses a heavy sword.”
Jasmine’s voice was filled with sadness. Yun Che could almost imagine her red eyes at this moment, because the word “brother” was the warmest and softest thing in her heart, but also the most painful. “In the beginning, the weapon that brother used was also a light sword. Later, he put down the light sword and picked up the heavy sword, because brother said… the heavy sword is a sword of killing, a sword of tyranny, and even more so a sword of protection. He wanted to use the heavy sword to protect me, my mother, and our home…”
"In order to practice the heavy sword, my brother took great risks to practice the forbidden book "The Great Buddha Art", and then went through untold hardships to find the remains of the Sirius Star God and obtained the "Sirius Prison God Canon". Later, my brother used great perseverance to practice the Great Buddha Art and the Sirius Prison God Canon to perfection, picked up the heavy sword, and on the battlefield, he swung the sword and kept all the troops at bay."
"At that time, what I liked to watch most was the scene of my brother wielding a heavy sword on the battlefield. At that time, my brother was the most handsome and majestic, which gave my mother and I an indescribable sense of security and dependence. It seemed that as long as my brother was there, even if the sky fell, we didn't need to be afraid at all, because my brother would always use his heavy sword to protect us behind him."
Jasmine's voice became lower and lower, and by the end, it had a noticeable tremor.
Because her brother died in the end... From her description, we can know that her brother was an extremely powerful person, perhaps so powerful that Yun Che could not understand it at all. Jasmine did not talk about how her brother died, and Yun Che did not dare to ask, because that must be the most painful mark in her heart.
“Your brother must be a great man, giving up his light sword and picking up the heavy sword for the sake of protection.” Yun Che sighed and said, “If possible, I really want to make friends with him.”
Jasmine didn't speak for a long time, as if she was trying to calm herself down. After a while, she said calmly, "Do you really want to choose to use the heavy sword all the time in the future?"
"Since I have already made my choice, I will certainly not change or regret it." Yun Che said without hesitation. "And I have the Heretic God's Profound Veins in my body. At the same level, I can exert a stronger power, and controlling the heavy sword is much easier for me than other profound practitioners."
“Okay…” Jasmine responded, and after a brief pause, she said calmly, “Then, starting today, I will teach you to practice the ‘Great Buddha Technique’!”
“The Great Buddha Art? You just mentioned the one your brother practiced?” Yun Che was surprised.
“That’s right, it’s the forbidden book that my brother practiced in order to control the heavy sword!” Jasmine said coldly, “The reason why it’s called the ‘forbidden book’ is because it’s the same as the ‘evil god’ you have on you. It’s the profound art of the gods of the ancient true gods! It comes from an ancient true god called ‘wild god’. The difference is that the evil god’s art exists in the profound veins and does not need to be practiced, while the Great Buddha Art acts on the blood vessels, meridians, muscles, skin, hair… but it has nothing to do with the profound veins or even the profound strength.”
“The same as the Heretic God Technique… a divine art?” Yun Che was shocked. The power of the Heretic God Technique was self-evident. He could only open the first level of the realm at present, but he could easily seriously injure Feng Yue, who was at the third level of the True Profound Realm, at the tenth level of the Nascent Profound Realm. And the “Great Buddha Technique” was also a divine art. Wouldn’t its power be not weaker than the “Hell God Technique”?
"After the death of the ancient true gods, the 'Dao Fu Tu Jue' was passed down for unknown reasons, but it also became a taboo. Because it is a divine skill, it is impossible for humans to practice it. Over the years, the 'Dao Fu Tu Jue' has passed through the hands of many people. Countless peerless masters relied on their own profound strength to reach the pinnacle and forced themselves to practice the 'Dao Fu Tu Jue', but in the end, all of them exploded and died. How can the power of the gods be carried by the body of a mortal?"
Yun Che: “…”
"Later, the 'Dao Fu Tu Jue' disappeared from the world, and the legends about it also faded. Until one day, my brother accidentally got it in a mysterious and dangerous place. And the fact that he got the 'Dao Fu Tu Jue' is also a secret that has never been known to others. In this world, only my brother and I know about it. Even my father and mother never knew about it."
Jasmine did not lie. The "Dao Fu Tu Jue" was a secret between her and her brother. No one else knew that the "Dao Fu Tu Jue" had reappeared in the world except the two of them. After Jasmine's brother passed away, the "Dao Fu Tu Jue" only existed in Jasmine's heart.
She had never thought about practicing "The Great Buddha Art", nor had she thought about giving it to anyone, and she had never even planned to tell anyone. Instead, she let "The Great Buddha Art" forever settle in the depths of her soul along with her longing for her brother.
However, Jasmine saw her brother’s appearance in Yun Che again and again… She even found a little bit of her brother’s feeling… The first time was in the Flame Dragon Cave, when he lost half of his blood to save her… When she woke up from a fuzzy state, she thought she saw her brother…
When Yun Che chose the heavy sword and told her the reason for choosing the middle sword, her heart felt as if it was struck hard by something, and it trembled for a long time...
She knew why she was so eager to teach Yun Che to practice the forbidden "Great Buddha Art"...
Because, she wanted to see in Yun Che the way her brother wielded the heavy sword back then... It was like weaving a scene that could only appear in dreams.
“Since mortals cannot practice the ‘Great Buddha Art’ and there are no gods in this world, why was your brother able to practice it successfully?” Yun Che interrupted and asked.
"Because, like you, he inherited the power of an ancient true god... That ancient true god is called 'Sirius Star God'. In his profound veins and blood, there are marks of the true god, so he can carry the power of 'Dao Fu Tu Jue'. However, 'Dao Fu Tu Jue' has twelve levels in total, and brother can only practice to the sixth level, which is the limit. If he continues, he will explode and die like those who tried to practice before."
"And you, carrying the Heretic God's Profound Veins, will be able to cultivate the 'Great Way Buddha Art' to the sixth level just like your brother! And now you only need to cultivate the 'Great Way Buddha Art' to the first level, and you can easily control this heavy sword."
Jasmine's words surprised Yun Che more and more. He swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief, "You said... the first level of the 'Great Buddha Art' can allow me to control this Overlord Heavy Sword? This heavy sword is not an ordinary heavy sword, it weighs a full 3,900 kilograms!"
Jasmine’s next words shocked Yun Che so much that he almost knelt down on the spot.
“Humph, of course I know the weight of this heavy sword.” Jasmine said coldly: “But, if you practice the first level of ‘Dao Fu Tu Jue’, you can increase your arm strength by 3,000 kilograms without any increase in your profound strength! The second level can increase your arm strength by 8,000 kilograms, and the third level can increase your arm strength by 20,000 kilograms… You only need the first level, and it will be enough! If you reach the second level, this heavy sword in your hands will be no different from a light sword in the hands of an ordinary profound practitioner.”
"Moreover, even if you don't use the heavy sword, with your extra arm strength, if you don't activate the 'Evil Soul', there will be no one of your level who can rival you. With the help of the 'Evil Soul', it will be enough to defeat an opponent who is half a realm higher than you!"
