"Thus, sword practice emphasizes intention over form. At the swordsman stage, this intention refers to artistic conception. The most comprehensive concept of artistic conception is the resonance between the corresponding state of mind or state of mind and the corresponding sword energy. However, this artistic conception is merely an introduction to sword intent, or a simplified version. It is one of the primary goals of practice during the swordsman stage."
"Moreover, artistic conception can improve the swordsman's training speed. A strong artistic conception is also an important sign of swordsmanship talent. As for your talent in swordsmanship, it is actually not valued by the Swordsman Academy. Although you can achieve the same training speed as in artistic conception with your swordsmanship, for the academy, this is a crooked way and is not encouraged. They even suppress and warn you. They are afraid that you will lead other students astray." He paused, gave Li Feng time to understand, and then asked
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"I understand, teacher! However, I have never come into contact with this artistic conception before, and I don't know how to possess it."
"This is also an important reason why the teacher brought you to the beach. Here, you can observe the sea and waves up close. The simplest and dumbest way to have artistic conception is to get close to them. Then, through the five senses, imprint them in your heart. When practicing sword, you can recall and comprehend them, and add such memories and insights to your swordsmanship. Slowly, you will have the corresponding artistic conception." Fearing that Li Feng would be discouraged by failure, he continued to encourage.
"This is the simplest, most orthodox, and also the dumbest method. If this method doesn't work, I'll try another one for you."
"Thank you, teacher. I'll try it right away." He Lin responded to the teacher's kindness seriously.
He Lin began to observe the sea and the waves, and then compared them with the sea in his memory, the sea and waves in his previous technological civilization, the chaotic sea and waves on the edge of the wizard continent, the sea and waves in the elven wizard world and the blood wizard world. He began to compare and understand the memories and feelings of all the seas and waves that he had seen and touched with the "Bi Tao Sword Technique" in his mind.
Although the main consciousness does not have the same powerful analytical ability as the consciousness chip, it is not completely useless. It is very easy for the main consciousness to make such a simple comparison and understanding.
Originally, his main consciousness was at the Morning Star Wizard level, and his consciousness was many times stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition, the experience of several worlds was also an important resource. Once he had the method, the effect would appear immediately.
His understanding of the artistic conception of "Bi Tao Sword Technique" was rapidly improving. His body involuntarily drew his sword and danced, and the shadows of the sword were so heavy that the onlookers had the illusion of seeing the waves.
"What a tremendous talent! I only suggested the dumbest method, and Li Feng succeeded! He's truly a gem in the rough." Wang Li was truly impressed by Li Feng's rapid ability to reach the state of mind. Genius students always delight and bring pride to teachers, but they also feel a surge of pressure, fearing they might not be able to teach well enough.
After practicing a set of sword techniques, I discovered that even if I wasn't in a place like the academy with a gathering array, using the "Bi Tao Sword Technique" at the seaside, as long as I had the artistic conception of the waves, the effect was just as good. It was truly an incredible bonus! If I were in the academy, the training speed might be even faster.
However, the consciousness chip has a drawback: it cannot simulate artistic conception; only the main consciousness can do that. Just as only the main consciousness can create imagination and possess emotions such as courage, love, and disgust, while the consciousness chip lacks them, this kind of idealistic perception—artistic conception—is also beyond the reach of the consciousness chip.
There is also the Heavenly Dao Divine Power - the Sky Eye, which also acts on the main consciousness, and the consciousness chip is also powerless. In this sword world, the ability of the consciousness chip is too suppressed.
If what Teacher Wang Li said is true, future cultivation will focus on sword intent, and it is certain that the consciousness chip will be of no help.
"How is it? Is there any problem?" Wang Li saw Li Feng standing there in silence after finishing his practice. Thinking that there was a problem, he immediately asked nervously.
"It's okay. I just practiced the Bi Tao Sword Technique in the state of mind for the first time, and I was filled with emotion." He Lin immediately came to his senses, found the most reasonable reason, and got away with it.
…
Back in the kendo room, he once again practiced the "Bi Tao Sword Technique" in the ocean wave state of mind. His training speed had indeed doubled, and the time required to open up one meridian instead of one week became two. The effect was very significant.
"Li Feng's swordsmanship has the artistic conception of ocean waves. He is really a monster. He just went out with Teacher Wang Li, and it's as if he has become enlightened. He has the artistic conception of ocean waves, one of the most authentic artistic conceptions of the Bishui Sword Sect." Qian Yu lamented Li Feng's changes with envy and jealousy.
"It's quite normal. He can achieve the cultivation speed corresponding to the state of mind by using only certain techniques. With such wisdom, how could a state of mind of ocean waves possibly stump him?" Yu Kun analyzed calmly and rationally.
"Well, he's even more dangerous. He's a real monster." Zhao Ding had been afraid of Li Feng since they met. This strong instinct for danger kept telling him not to make an enemy of him, making Zhao Ding extremely cautious about Li Feng, whether in words or actions.
Bi Yao had mixed feelings about Li Feng: "It's so easy to capture the imagery of ocean waves. He's truly a genius. Even among this wealthy family, he's a rare talent. He's truly a demon."
After getting the idea of ocean waves, Herling kept studying it as if he had found a new toy.
What's the principle behind the artistic conception boost to cultivation speed? A comparison before and after the boost revealed that it wasn't a change in spiritual energy concentration, but rather a significant increase in the speed at which spiritual energy was converted into sea-wave-like sword energy. This enhanced the sea-wave nature and characteristics of the sword energy, which in turn sped up the speed of meridian opening, thus affecting the absorption of spiritual energy by nearly double.
At the same time, artistic conception also has the effect of enhancing the power of sword energy.
It can directly act on the sword energy, making its related properties more active and more powerful. Even ordinary sword moves can have a huge difference in power with and without the addition of sword energy.
Let's put it this way, the sword energy can be transmitted to the opponent through the contact between the two swords. If the opponent does not have the sword energy to offset and protect himself, it will be like being defenseless, and he will be seriously injured after just a few fights.
Therefore, the gap between the two realms is so unsolvable. Therefore, even the invincible swordsman He Lin did not dare to fight against Sun Quan, who was forcibly promoted to the swordsman level through the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method" and possessed sword energy. This is simply because of this reason.
And now, the sword energy with the blessing of artistic conception is actually more powerful and more spiritual than the sword energy without it, which is equivalent to the difference between an elite soldier and an ordinary person. From this, it can be foreseen that when the two sword energies fight against each other, the sword energy with the blessing of artistic conception will consume a much larger amount of the opponent's sword energy. Even if the sword energy cannot connect, it is possible to be broken in defense and directly knocked out, just like a sword apprentice against a swordsman.
