Chapter 292: Fundamentals, Basic Sword Techniques

Feng Sha Yan looked at Qi Tian with a serious expression and asked:"Is your company, Qitian Company, also recruiting Zhang Churan"The very next morning, Wang Quan Ba Ye came to the martial arts field at Wang Quan Mountain Villa and began practicing swordplay.

Around him were many members of the royal families, all watching the royal power on display.

And Wang Quan, who held the power and influence of an empire, didn't care at all about them. Instead, he continuously practiced fundamental sword techniques.

Only Wang Quan's imperial might was focused on the ordinary long sword in his hand, practicing basic swordsmanship with unwavering concentration.

Each of his moves seemed so skilled and natural, and every technique was filled with beauty, as if this move was meant to be used just like that.

As time went by, three full hours had passed. Throughout these three hours, Wang Quan Ba Ye had been completely absorbed in his sword practice.

Until he stopped, Wang Quan's ambitious reign only then realized that his sweat had already soaked through his clothes.

The current king's imposing aura, even his practice clothes, are now drenched with sweat, looking slightly disheveled.

But, those eyes remained as sharp and piercing as an eagle's.

Although Wang Quan Ba Ye's current cultivation is just ordinary basic swordsmanship, there's a saying: "A towering building begins from the ground." But this requires a solid and stable foundation.

And this foundational sword technique is the womb of all ten thousand sword techniques in the world. Every sword technique can find its shadow within this foundational sword technique.

Although Wang Quan Ba Ye's martial prowess seemed to be repeating those seemingly simple moves over and over again, even eventually falling into a certain state, this was mainly because Wang Quan Ba Ye had listened to his master's words.

He wanted to integrate the most fundamental sword techniques, melding them into his very marrow, making them an instinctive part of himself.

And Wang Quanba also understood that Qi Tian was doing this for his own good. Although in these six months, he hadn't taught him any powerful sword techniques or swordsmanship divine abilities.

It was just to practice basic swordsmanship, but as Wang Quan Ba Ye's cultivation progressed, he also began to realize some things.

Finally, the reason was revealed from Qitian's mouth.

Just then, two figures walked over from afar.

"Master, Fei Butler!"

"Greetings, Master!"

Here comes Wang Quan Shuzhe, who has recovered quite a bit, and his childhood friend, Fei Guanjia.

When the two saw Wang Quanba's relentless practice of basic swordsmanship on the training ground, astonishment appeared in their eyes.

Until Wang Quan's domineering swordsmanship ceased, and during his resting time, Wang Quan humbly guarded himself. Then, Fei Guanjia and the two men walked over.

"Dad, Uncle Fei, how did you get here"

Fee, the butler, let out a chuckle and said:

After the old master took the spiritual medicine you brought back, he has recovered a lot.

"Why don't you go for a walk now It'll help you relax."

Wang Quan Shu Zhu also nodded and said, “Yes! For so many years, I've basically been inside the house or lying in bed.

"

"I haven't felt this relaxed in ages! This is all thanks to the elixir you brought back!"

"Hearing about the power of this artifact, Wang Quan also laughed and said, "As long as it's useful! But in the future, Father, please try not to use it yourself."

Wang Quan Shu Zuo did not retort, but instead nodded with a smile.

"Alright! From now on, father will enjoy his retirement!"

Just then, Fei Butler couldn't help but say:

"Young master, you were practicing basic swordsmanship just now Why did you suddenly start cultivating basic swordsmanship"

"Could it be that the Ethereal Immortal Sect didn't teach you, Young Master, any powerful sword techniques or divine abilities"

When Wang Quan Ba Ye heard this, he shook his head and then nodded.

"Young master, what does it mean to shake your head and nod at the same time"

Wang Quan Ba Ye smiled and said, "My master didn't pass down to me swordsmanship divine abilities, or powerful sword techniques alone."

However, it gave me the cultivation technique, 《Hunyuan Sword Sutra》.

Then, I was made to practice the basic sword techniques constantly. To be honest, at first, I didn't quite understand why I had to keep practicing these fundamental sword techniques.

But later on, I finally understood that sometimes, the most important thing is basic swordsmanship.

Uncle Fei, do you know Master gave me an immeasurable treasure, and this foundation sword technique is the key.

"Right now, I haven't even finished forging this key. How could I possibly get anything from the treasure chest"

After hearing this, Butler Fei felt a little confused.

And seeing this, the kingly authority with a triumphant smile spoke:

"Uncle Fei, what do you think of this basic sword technique"

Fee Butler listened, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"A good thing, an indispensable good thing. All sword cultivators' cultivation begins with the basic sword techniques."

At this, Wang Quan Ba Ye nodded and said with a smile:

Indeed! It's an indispensable good thing.

Feishu, you know, at first I didn't understand why Master wasn't willing to teach me those powerful divine sword techniques.

But later, after I cultivated for a period of time, I found something, that is, my control over the sword seemed to want to become even more powerful.

Later on, I went to ask the master, and that's when I understood the master's intention.

This basic sword technique is actually the most powerful sword technique, and also the most fundamental one.

My master said, "A towering building starts from the ground, and during this process, the foundation is the most important."

"It's just like you, Uncle Fei. When you fight people now, the sword techniques you use, are they done one by one, or do you just directly slash through with a single sword"

Fei Guanta, hearing this, frowned and said:

"The weak ones, I just slash them with a single sword. The strong ones, they're about my level, so it takes constant battling and finding their weaknesses to kill them."

Wang Quan Ba Ye nodded and said, "Yes! But in the end, doesn't it still require a sword to kill the enemy"

And this last sword strike, you imagine, isn't it the basic sword technique.

...like pricking, prodding, etc....

Fei Guanjia heard this, his eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and then said:

"Indeed, in the end, what's used are the simplest and most practical techniques, all foundational swordsmanship."

"That's it. According to my master, this fundamental sword technique is actually an all-encompassing one, a sword technique with no end in sight."

Any sword technique, in reality, cannot break free from this foundation because this basic sword technique can be said to have refined the most fundamental and essential moves of many sword techniques.

And my master passed down to us the Mixuan Sword Classic, which itself encompasses all things and can evolve into countless sword techniques.

But to truly comprehend what lies within, I must first master these foundational sword techniques.

As long as I can make the fundamentals of swordsmanship instinctual, I'll be able to understand and develop my own unique swordsmanship, my own path of the sword.

Fei Guanjia finally understood what I meant when he heard this.

And at this time, Wang Quan Shuo laughed and said:

"Your master is really great, Ba Ye!"

Normally, what someone can pass on is at most their own cultivation techniques to their disciples.

And in this case, the disciple can only cultivate step by step. In the end, he breaks through to the heavens, which is the level of his master.

Of course, if there are those with extraordinary talent, they can go even further, reaching new heights.

But, most of them, are just following the original path, all the way down.

But your master is different. He directly imparts the Great Dao to you, giving you a path. This path, you don't know what it leads to, and you have to walk it yourselves.

This road, whether it can be traveled and reach the end, depends on your own abilities.

Your master's ability to take on disciples is quite impressive.

"By the way, how much do you know about your sister's situation"

Kingly Ambition: "My younger sister is apprenticed under our teacher, and she has cultivated a powerful skill."

Anyway, I haven't seen her in the past half year. My little sister has been in seclusion.

"Otherwise, this time it wouldn't just be me coming back alone."

"It seems that Zui'er has also encountered a great opportunity!"e entire world was shrouded in a hazy mist, as if enveloped by an ominous aura.Then, the battle formation transformed into an unprecedentedly terrifying grand formation.At this time, a handle with an...
