Chapter 394 - Imminent Danger
“In the Dao of the hundred weapons, be it the sword or the saber, there are three levels of mastery to them, form, force and intent.”
The Saber Emperor’s voice continued sounding, “By form, it means the stance of the saber techniques. This is the most superficial of the mastery levels and as long as a cultivator is willing to practice diligently, they will be able to attain proficiency and utilize it naturally.”
“Force is the second level and is rather abstract. It could be understood as the force of the qi, aura or sound and it’s not something that everyone can achieve. Some people spend their entire lives without understanding the meaning behind the idea of force.”
“At the level of force, the might of your saber technique will be even mightier, reaching a whole new tier of mastery!”
“The third level is intent. Similar to sword intent, the saber has saber intent as well. Simply put, this is the realm of one’s intent and it’s formless and ethereal. A single slash can contain the might of the universe! The obscurity of the intent realm can only be understood after one cultivates their Essence Spirit.”
One had to be at Nascent Soul realm at the very least if they wanted to achieve the third level of mastery. For now, Su Zimo did not have to think about that at all.
Right now, all he had to do was master the first two levels of cultivating saber techniques.
Whipping out Blood Quencher, Su Zimo recalled the five stances performed by the Saber Emperor and began practicing on the mountain peak.
Therefore, he attempted to comprehend the meaning of force before he was familiar with the saber techniques of the Sea Calming Manual, trying to grasp at something.
Closing his eyes, Su Zimo entered an indescribable state of bliss.
This was an extremely rare state of enlightenment.
He would definitely gain something the moment he awakened!
After the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea vanished, Su Zimo had already attracted everyone’s attention.
When he entered the enlightenment state, everyone was in an uproar.
Entering that state right now was definitely trouble rather than blessing for Su Zimo!
There was no one around Su Zimo to protect him and any external stimulation could disrupt his enlightenment process, putting his efforts to vain!
Furthermore, that was secondary.
The most important thing was that someone was out to take his life!
Since the heavens want you to die, you can’t blame me!
Bai Yu smiled sinisterly and in a flash, pulled out a cold gleaming saber from his storage bag, speeding towards Su Zimo.
When he approached, Bai Yu slashed horizontally.
That slash was not fast nor was it strong. Furthermore, it did not have any killing intent at all.
Bai Yu was worried of alarming Su Zimo who was in his enlightenment state, changing the current situation.
He wanted to kill in stealth!
Su Zimo’s eyes were still tightly shut, as if he had not realized that danger was knocking right on his door!
At the sight of that, many cultivators shook their heads and sighed.
Initially, Su Zimo was the envy of many after obtaining the Saber Emperor’s inheritance.
However, who would have thought that he would die in the blink of an eye – at the end of the day, fate had played a trick on him.
Bai Yu smirked in glee when he saw that the blade was about to slice Su Zimo’s throat.
“You’re still going to die in my hands even if you’ve obtained the Saber Emperor’s inheritance!”
Bai Yu sneered.
Just as the blade was about to cut Su Zimo’s throat, the latter’s figure suddenly retreated without warning and narrowly avoided that fatal strike!
“Hmm?”
Narrowing his gaze, Bai Yu’s expression changed.
