“First tell me, what is this your world, my world thing? Where did you come from?” Bing Lan looked at the Sword Demon with a suspicious expression and asked. There were many things she didn’t understand. And, she was even more confused when he mentioned Sword Will and Sword Spirit.

“We come from a different world called earth. In our world, we cultivate with different energy. And, I can’t feel that energy in this world. Not to mention, I can’t access my innate ability. As for the swordsmanship, we have something called Sword Belief.”

“There are several stages in Sword Belief. We awaken our Sword Will, manifest it in the form of Sword Spirit. Then, we condense a Sword Soul in our sword. Finally, we comprehend the Sword Intent. It isn’t hard if you can awaken the Sword Will.”

“But, awakening Sword Will is indeed hard. Not only, you need an immense belief in a sword, you also need talent. I awakened an SSS-Rank Sword Innate Ability. With that, I had talent. Since I practiced sword from a small age, I had enough belief over my sword.”

“So, awakening Sword Will wasn’t hard for me. But, I don’t understand what Sword Energy is? And, what is Sword Heart?” Sword Demon directly explained and asked.

As soon as she heard his words, her eyes narrowed. But, she quickly calmed down and said “Sword Energy is a practical strength of a swordsman. You need a proper sword cultivation technique to transform the spiritual qi into sword energy. Sword Energy is the first step of a Sword Cultivation.”

“Sword Energy has nine stages. Each stage can improve the amount of sword energy you can transform from the spiritual qi at once. After Sword Energy, it is the Sword Heart. To form a sword heart, you condense eight sword meridians from your dantian and connect it to your heart.”

“This allows you to transform your spiritual qi into sword energy through sword meridians without you interfering in the process. The sword energy travels to the heart and merges with it, slowly transforming it into a Sword Heart.”

“Once you form the Sword Heart, you can basically store sword energy in each cell of your body. After the Sword Heart, you can make another eight sword meridians to the sea of consciousness. But unlike the previous sword meridians, these sword meridians need to be empowered with Soul Power.”

“Only then they can access the Sea of Consciousness. Once you place it inside, the sword energy will merge with the soul power and form the sword soul. Later, you transfer the part of the sword soul into your sword to improve its power. Of course, if your weapon is powerful, you can transfer the complete sword soul to improve its power into another level.”

“But unlike sword heart, your sword soul will depend on your comprehension over sword for its growth. That means the meridians and sword energy will only give birth to the soul and it needs to be fed on your knowledge to improve it.”

“Each step is crucial in the path of sword cultivation. Using all that knowledge, your soul can comprehend the sword’s intent. Then, you can practice the Sword Intent to improve it. Above the Sword Intent Realm is Sword Lord Realm.”

“Here, you can form an embryo inside your sea of consciousness with the help of Sword Energy, Sword Soul, Sword Heart, and Sword Intent combined together. Once you form the embryo, you comprehend the Laws.”

“It can be fire law. It can be water law. It can be any kind of law that resides between heaven and earth. Once you learn a certain law, you merge the law with your embryo. During this whole realm, you keep feeding your comprehension of law to this embryo.”

“And, once you reach the Sword King Realm, it blooms the roots out of it. And, now you create your own Sword Law based on the element you have comprehended. This will lead to the growth of the root. And, when the root grows a tall tree inside your sea of consciousness, you finally reach the peak of Sword King Realm.”

“Of course, there is another way to reach this realm. It is a kind of shortcut. You comprehend the Sword Intent. Then, you comprehend the Concept or Law. Finally, you use your cultivation technique to merge them. This is not available to every cultivation technique that’s why it’s rare.”

“Of course, following the original path is much more reassuring. But, I don’t know anything above this. If we return back to the sect, we can ask the elders.” Bing Lan took a long time but eventually explained everything to him.

Listening to her explanation, Sword Demon understood a lot. He also found various differences.

‘For us, it is the sword belief. Whether it is a sword will or sword spirit or sword intent, we can use it because we believe in our sword. But for them, a sword is just a path to gain strength. No wonder I disdain at the realms.’

‘They are just the confinement. But, I am too weak now. If I want to improve, I must learn everything I can. But, I can’t throw away my belief. For me, the next step would be strengthening my sword intent. Since I can’t use the ability energy, my only reliance is the sword.’

Sword Demon clenched his fist and the excitement flashed in his eyes. At this moment, Bing Lan suddenly asked “Are you a demon?”

“Hmm! What made you say that?” Sword Demon asked.

“Umm! He called you the Sword Demon. And, you also said things about the Innate Ability. Demons are the only people who possess the Innate Ability.” Bing Lan had a little fear and desperation in her eyes as she explained.

“Since you asked, I am not a demon. I am called the Sword Demon because nobody is better than me in swordsmanship in my world. As for my world, it is out of your universe. Technically, you can call me alien.” Sword Demon spoke without any interest in her thoughts.

He didn’t care how she views him. If it is an enemy, he will slash. If it is someone unrelated, he will ignore it.

Bing Lan listened to him silently and thought for a while. She didn’t feel they were bad. But, Innate Abilities were a trademark of a demon. She was caught between her own personal feelings and her mindset.

Suddenly, Sword Demon patted her and said “You don’t need to think too much. If you think we are bad, you are free to do anything. If you think we are good, you are also free to do anything as well. But, I need to make one thing clear.”

“If you make a relationship with Mike and betray him, he might not do anything to you. But, in my world, eight top talented girls were slaughtered. And, the common thing between them was Mike. Everyone had a relationship with Mike but once he disappeared, they changed the relationship.”

“I don’t know to think that would be the reason enough to kill them. But, fellow swordsmanship told me that in their family, not even the slightest betrayal is allowed. I learned he was just a foundation of the family. The pillar was someone else.”

“As fellow swordsmanship, I am giving you just a little advice. A single decision can change our life. And, everything is ruled by strength. If a strong finds it annoying, he will replace regardless whether it is living being or non-living being.”

As he said he walked away leaving Bing Lan in deep thought.

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure burst out of the ground with his hand pointed at the sky and a metal worm flying above him.

Thud!

“Man! That was intense. Hey guys, look what I’ve found.” Mike landed on the ground and took out the golden egg from the system space showing it to others. There was a wide smile on his face.

“It seems you have grown a lot stronger.” Sword Demon fighting intent suddenly burst as he looked at the worm that fell dead on the ground.

“Haha! I just started using other weapons as well. It makes things a lot easier.” Mike used one of his simplest techniques. With the Vanishing Aura, he formed daggers in his hand and condensed the chaos spirit around it.

After that, he slashed and slashed and slashed until the wounded every last one of them. Finally, he used the Devouring Blood Scripture to suck away their blood. His blood orb was once again overflowing with blood.

And, this time it was just blood. He knew he can immensely improve his physical strength by using the blood.

“Huh! A golden egg?” Bing Lan woke up from her thoughts and curiously glanced at the golden egg while moving towards him. She was also attracted by the golden egg. After all, she has never seen one in her life.

“Hey, do you think it can give birth to Golden Goose?” Mike turned his head at Sword Demon and asked excitedly.

“Are you an idiot?” Sword Demon scolded him and looked away.

“Come on! No matter what comes out, it will be amazing to see. Don’t you think, Bing?” Mike swiftly turned his head at her and asked.

“Yeah! I have never seen a golden egg in my life. It could be a dragon egg or even the Golden Turtle Egg. What if it is the Golden Phoenix?” Bing Lan touched around the egg and excitedly spoke as she turned her head at them.

“What? I have never seen the Golden Egg in my life. Of course, I’m excited.” Bing Lan shouted when she saw their gazes.

“Hahaha-Hahaha!” Suddenly, both of them burst into laughter.
