Free Web NovelChapter 19: Secret Information
"You have a sword, but you need a sword technique. This is the second step. Here, you practice the swordsmanship path that you want to follow."
"You must select your path properly. There are different kinds of Sword Techniques. Of course, you can learn multiple sword techniques."
"But it is necessary to learn sword techniques suitable for your sword. Because you will be using the sword energy produced by your sword technique to temper your sword."
"For a swordsman, a sword isn’t just a weapon. It’s a companion. So, only by tempering your sword with sword energy, you can fight like a true swordsman."
"That’s why a swordsman can always win against their opponent in the same realm. They are not fighting alone. The sword can increase their combat strength by fifty to a hundred percent."
"Finally, the last step is Sword Intent."
At this moment, a look of fear appeared in her eyes.
"I had fought a cultivator with Sword Intent once. Every trump card I had, every spell and move I used, all of them were crushed by my opponent."
"If I hadn’t kept a secret talisman that Sonya gave me, I would’ve died in his hands."
Hearing that, Marx looked at her with a shocked expression.
"Is the difference between having and not having Sword Intent really that big?"
Because Yuki didn’t show any fear while mentioning previous steps, he thought she could fight a swordsman.
He never thought she was already embarrassed by one.
Yuki solemnly nodded.
"Yes, Sword Intent is the manifestation of a swordsman’s Will. It is extremely difficult to understand a swordsman’s Will."
"Especially since understanding a swordsman’s Will requires you to understand Dao, which takes understanding your Will to understand the universe."
"Only talented and sword-driven people can achieve Sword Intent. It is so special that after losing to him, I stayed in Golden Core Realm for a decade just to practice another kind of Intent."
"I chose Lightning Intent, cultivating a new branch of Lightning Element. Only then was I able to close the gap. But I was only able to do that because I already had talent for lightning element."
Hearing that, Marx nodded.
"I understand."
"So, you are still going to practice swordsmanship?"
"Yes, I will not stop."
"Good luck!"
"Thank you!"
Marx and Yuki instantly turned silent. It wasn’t that they felt awkward, but they really didn’t know what they should talk about.
Eventually, Yuki asked.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"It’s not a question."
Marx paused, feeling a bit embarrassed. But his years of experience helped him remain calm as he asked.
"Can you tell me where I can find resources? Since you know, you are..."
Yuki didn’t say anything, but her eyes said it all.
’Are you kidding me?’
Marx turned his head, not having the courage to look into her eyes. After all, he was already shameless enough to ask something like that.
After a long silence, Yuki said.
"It’s not that I can’t."
Marx’s ears immediately rose as he turned his head towards her.
Then, he saw one of the scariest smiles of his life.
"But for every location, you have to do me a favor. Anything that I ask for! No questions asked!"
Hearing that, Marx took a deep breath.
"Okay!"
Seeing that, Yuki chuckled.
"Then, I will give you three locations. Six Months Later, a Secret Realm will emerge."
"To enter this Secret Realm, you need a quota that can only be granted by the Eight Sects of our state and families connected to them."
"Two years later, the legacy of the Pill King will emerge outside the borders of the State of Drunken Immortal. It doesn’t have any restrictions, but there will be a lot of geniuses."
"In my other life, I never got a chance to enter this place, but Sonya did. The pill that she gave me to reach the Golden Core Realm came from this place."
"Finally..."
Her expression got serious as she continued.
"There will be a big battle between major sects and the Three Evil Sects. In this battle, the more you kill, the more points you earn. The more points you earn, the more rewards you can exchange."
"This battle will start after five years, and it will continue for fifty years. Most of my resources came from this battle."
Hearing that, Marx rolled his eyes.
"You are tricking me. None of these are useful for me, and even if they are, I will eventually learn about them."
"This doesn’t count. You must tell me secret locations."
Yuki’s eyes darkened.
"Are you trying to default on those favors?"
"Of course not! But you are tricking me. That information isn’t so important. You come from the future." freёweɓnovel.com
"You know about the adventures famous cultivators in the future will go through."
"I need the information about those, not these common events. I accept the first favor since it is an important piece of information, but the other two are not."
Hearing that, Yuki frowned.
She understood his intentions, but she didn’t want to share that information with him.
"If you don’t want to, then I will leave. I owe you a favor. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it."
Just when he was about to leave, Yuki shouted.
"Alright, I will tell you two pieces of secret information."
Hearing that, a big smile appeared on his face, but Marx quickly suppressed it as he turned around. He looked at her and spoke with a serious expression.
"Don’t try to fool me this time!"
Yuki snorted and continued.
"First of all, there is a legacy of a Golden Core Cultivator on the southern side of the External Dark Forest."
"The person who became famous in the future didn’t advertise his fruitful encounter, but he was one of the most talented Talisman Masters."
Marx clicked his tongue.
"Then, it can be confirmed, can’t it? That legacy must be about talismans. It seems like you are not interested in talismans."
Hearing his words, Yuki froze, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face. She never thought Marx could see through her intentions so easily.
That’s right! She only planned to give him unconfirmed legacies or legacies she didn’t like.
Learning Talisman wasn’t her forte. So, she wanted to give him this information in his favor.
Although Mark was only at the Eighth Stage of Qi Sea Realm, she had a feeling that he could fight her.
This wasn’t just due to the Innate Dao Body. She also had Innate Rebellious Body, which should’ve been stronger than Innate Dao Body.
So, having a favor from someone like him would be a huge help, especially since she might need it soon.
"Ahem! The second piece of information is about a swordsman. You should be grateful that I am willing to share this kind of information."
"In Azure Sword City, there is a small mountain that contains the legacy of a swordsman. One of those is an unfinished sword."
"If you manage to get it, you can make it your Natal Sword."
’Azure Sword City! That’s twelve cities away from my village. I guess I found where I need to go after returning to the village.’
Marx thought to himself before thanking her.
"Humph! Give me your communication talisman! If you don’t repay those favors, I will never forgive you."
Yuki snorted.
Marx immediately nodded and bought a pair of Yin-Yang Talismans using a Golden Ticket.
He took out the talisman and passed it to her.
When she held that talisman in her hand, a momentary greed emerged in her eyes.
But she controlled herself and snorted.
"Next time, don’t give talismans like this to others. They are treasures only powerful Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators can hold."
Marx froze. He almost forgot that. But his expression quickly changed to normal as he rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.
"Sorry, I almost forgot about my legacy. I haven’t had time to check the items in this ring. Hopefully, I can find normal talismans."
"Humph!"
Yuki snorted and turned her head.
"I’m leaving."
"Me too!"
The two of them decided to leave the cave together. When they came out of the cave, they saw a giant sitting next to the cave while holding a club.
The moment it sensed their presence, it roared.
"Let me show you the power of a genius at Foundation Establishment Realm."
Yuki sneered as she raised her hand towards the sky.
Suddenly, an enormous amount of Qi rushed out of her body, forming a large spear above her head.
The lightning crackled in small arcs, and soon, it transformed into a lightning spear.
"Roar!"
The giant slammed its club towards them, but the lightning spear instantly shot towards the giant’s head.
Splash! Zzzzz! Bang!
It pierced through the giant’s head, electrifying the giant’s body before causing a massive explosion.
Thud!
The burnt body of the giant fell to the ground. Suddenly, a red orb burst out of its body and flew into Yuki’s hand.
Throughout this, Marx just stared at the power of that lightning spear with a calm look.
’It seems much weaker than what I expected. Then again, I did watch a battle of immortals.’
