When we arrived at the Demon Refining Mountain, the morning glow spread all over the mountain and the vegetation was lush and green.

It is obviously a dangerous mountain forest where monsters and beasts gather, but the ink painting is like an outing, with a relaxed expression, brisk steps, and humming a ditty.

When he reached the bottom of a hillside, Mo Hua stopped, took out fruit wine, cakes, and dried meat from his storage bag, and ate them with gusto while looking at the mountain scenery in the early morning.

After a while, a figure came from a distance.

Mo Hua stood up immediately, waved with joy and shouted:

"Situ, this way!"

A tall and handsome young man, with his back on the fire sword, smiled and said hello when he heard the sound, and walked towards Mo Hua.

The person who came was none other than Situ Jian.

He was also found by Mo Hua to be Yu Jian's "partner".

All in all, both of them are from Lizhou, so they should be fellow villagers.

When Mo Hua was in Lizhou before, he had interactions with the Situ family, and knew many monks such as Situ Fang, Situ Xiu, and Elder Situ Jin.

However, the Situ family is very big, so these people should be considered as branches of the Situ family, and they are probably not familiar with Situ Jian.

There was no mention of ink painting.

The two of them were in the mountains, taking advantage of the morning glow and mountain scenery, eating fine wine and delicacies.

After eating and drinking, we officially started practicing the sword.

Before practicing the sword, Situ Jian still had some doubts:

"Senior Brother, you are not a sword cultivator, right? Why do you suddenly think of sword-wielding?"

Mo Hua looked serious and said nonsense:

"Duanjinmen is stingy by nature and uses despicable methods. Although it has temporarily ceased its activities, it may come back again in the future, so we must take precautions before it happens and study more on how to handle swords."

"And it's not just Jinmen. There are so many swordsmen in this state, so we must learn more to avoid falling into their trap in the future..."

“Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.”

"Oh." Situ Jian nodded slowly and praised, "As expected of my young senior brother, he has really thought far ahead."

"Is it very far?"

"Yeah." Situ Jian said, "The real 'sword control' is a sword move that can only be learned in the late stage of foundation building and can be achieved in the golden elixir realm."

Mo Hua was stunned, "So far?"

Situ Jian looked at the ink paintings silently, thinking that it turns out, little senior brother, you don’t know anything...

Situ Jian sighed, then found a big rock to sit down and started talking about ink painting from the beginning:

"Any sword practice must start with sword energy. Turning spiritual power into a sword is the foundation for the introduction of swordsmanship."

"But in the beginning of sword practice, the sword energy transformed by spiritual power is not strong, so it is necessary to use the spiritual sword to amplify the sword energy and enhance the killing power."

"The earlier the stage, the shallower the cultivation level, the weaker the sword energy, and the stronger the sword cultivator's reliance on sword weapons."

"And in the later stages, as your cultivation deepens and your sword energy becomes stronger, you can be able to have no sword in your hand. Since your body is a sword, you are not particularly dependent on the sword."

"Of course a sword cultivator with a sword will still be very strong."

"This is because the 'sword control' method of integrating sword energy and sword weapons, and the two superimposed, have extraordinary lethality."

"How strong can it be?" Mo Hua was very curious.

Situ Jian shook his head, "I don't know..."

Ink painting: "..."

Situ Jian was a little embarrassed and said: "It's very strong anyway... but I haven't learned the real 'Lihuo Sword Control Technique' yet, so I don't know how strong it is."

"So, the Broken Gold Sword Controlling Technique we used when we met Brother Duanjinmen before was not the real 'sword control'?"

"Which Brother Duan Jinmen?"

"The one who was stripped of his clothes, hung from a tree, and had a turtle painted on him."

"Oh." Situ Jian remembered it and nodded, "Yes."

Situ Jian explained to Mo Hua: "He has indeed practiced sword control techniques, but his cultivation and swordsmanship attainments are not enough to display real sword control, so his sword control is only a shallow level of sword energy."

level..."

"The real sword-wielding..."

Situ Jian's expression was stern, his eyes revealed longing:

"First of all, we must cultivate the sword energy to be very powerful."

"Try to fuse the sword energy with the sword again."

"Then use your spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual sword fused with sword energy, lock onto the enemy, and kill the enemy with a flying sword from a long distance."

"Only this kind of sword-controlling method uses spiritual consciousness to control the sword, and also integrates the sword energy. The three are integrated into one. Only when you practice to a high level can you cultivate the 'sword intention' step by step..."

"Sword Intent?!"

Mo Hua's expression changed and he was shocked.

Situ Jian was startled and asked in a low voice:

"Senior brother, is there something wrong?"

Only then did Mo Hua realize that he was a little excited. He immediately pretended to be calm, patted Situ Jian on the shoulder and said:

"No, you're absolutely right!"

"Keep talking..."

Situ Jian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "No more..."

Mo Hua was startled, "It's gone?"

Situ Jian nodded and said: "What happens after the sword intention is too profound. My current cultivation level is still shallow and I can't understand it..."

Not to mention sword intention, he hasn't even learned how to "control a sword" yet.

"Okay." Mo Hua sighed.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't ask about the deeper "Sword Intent", he at least understood an important point:

Only when the divine consciousness controls the sword, the sword energy, the sword weapon and the divine consciousness are integrated can the "sword intention" be nourished.

Sword control is the culmination of the method of integrating sword energy and sword weapon.

But at the same time, it is also the beginning of "Sword Intent".

This kind of thing is very crucial, and it is somewhat "super sectarian" that even the sect's Taoist teachings will not teach.

The method of controlling a sword...

If you can only learn it at the later stage of foundation building, you can only achieve it at the golden elixir level.

That would be a method that can only be taught in the next post-foundation school year at least, and may even be taught after entering the inner sect.

Sure enough, there must be a teacher from me when we are traveling among three people. It is always beneficial to ask my classmates for advice when there is nothing to do.

Mo Hua nodded secretly in his heart.

"Then how does one control the sword with divine consciousness?"

"Is it the same as the Divine Consciousness Control Object?"

"Is it enough to control the spiritual sword with your spiritual consciousness and stab it from a distance?"

Mo Hua asked curiously again.

Situ Jiandao: "The general process of wielding a sword is to first accumulate sword energy, then inject the sword energy into the spiritual sword, and then control the sword with spiritual consciousness."

"After the spiritual consciousness, spiritual sword, and sword energy are integrated into one, and the state of complete 'sword control' is reached, then the spiritual consciousness can be used to search for the enemy, the sword can be used to break through the air, and the enemy can be killed from a long distance..."

"Sword control is based on control of objects. The stronger the control object, the better the foundation of sword control."

"But compared with ordinary sword control, it is more difficult, consumes more spiritual consciousness, and it is more difficult to track down enemies..."

Memorize every word and every word of the ink painting.

However, he simply skipped the previous part of "accumulating sword energy and injecting the spirit sword".

Because his sword energy is too weak, it is useless to inject the spiritual sword into it.

He planned to directly replace it with "Sword Formation".

If these two parts are omitted, there is no need for so much "foreplay". Simply and directly, you can detect the enemy with your spiritual sense, break through the air with your sword, and kill the enemy from a long distance.

For the rest, just leave it to the "formation".

"The specific method of wielding a sword with spiritual consciousness and killing enemies through the air is actually a special method of using divine consciousness. You need to learn a special sword-controlling method..."

When Situ Jian said this, he looked a little apologetic and said to Mo Hua, "My Situ family does have the method of 'sacred sword control'. Before I entered the sect, my father asked me to take it with me and let me keep it for later.
