《World Of Swords》Xu Yue
Advertisement
Inside one of the regions that compose the Three Thousand Regions, stood an extremely large sect. If one were to look from above, they would be able to see countless cultivators scouring about in the sect.
Several powerful beings turned their attention towards the sect as they heard the cry of a baby.
The cry came from a cave abode in one of the central peaks of the sect, a slender swordsman sat in one of the rooms of the abode. The cry of the baby interrupted his meditation, after this, he immediately disappeared.
He reappeared inside a room, a woman was sitting down on a bed in the middle of the room surrounded by several attendants. The bed seemed to have large crystals incrusted on its side.
As the woman regained her bearings, she looked towards one of her attendants, who held a small baby in her arms.
"Give her to me " said the woman.
"Yes, mistress Wu Jing " replied the attendant.
After that, the attendant gave the baby to Wu Jing.
As Wu Jing held the baby in her hand, a name inexplicably entered her mind, after this, the woman seemed to stare into the void.
"Xu Yue" gently said Wu Jing as she gave the baby a kiss on her forehead.
After she said the name, the man looked towards the sky, after discovering that he could not verify the cause and effect of this name, he sighed and looked towards one of the attendants.
An ornate purple token with Xu written on it then appeared in the attendants hands.
"Go to the treasury and bring back three Body Nourishing treasures " said Xu Chao.
Wu Jing frowned for a moment before nodding, even though her husband was the sect master, she did not like having Karma with sects.
A few minutes later, the attendant came back with three ornate boxes. The moment she entered the room, Xu Chao took the three boxes and gave them to his wife.
As she opened the boxes, Wu Jing couldn't help but wonder how deep the foundation of the Peak Powers actually went.
"These treasures have been specially prepared for those that had been pregnant for a long time. Even normal Saint Rank treasures would be less effective for me " silently thought Wu Jing as she looked at them.

A moment later, all three treasures disappeared, Wu Jing then meditated for a few minutes before opening her eyes.
After merely a few minutes, Wu Jing had managed to refine three different Heaven Ranked treasures, which would cause mortals to explode if they even smelled them.
After that, both Wu Jing and Xu Chao looked at the sleeping Xu Yue and smiled.
For a reason unknown to most cultivators, the Sword Region was located at the edge of the Three Thousand Regions. This was completely opposite to common sense, as more powerful regions were located closer to the center.
Inside of the Sword Region, the undisputed overlord is the Origin Sword sect, it stood at the center and most prosperous part of the region.
Inside of the headquarters of the Origin Sword Sect stood a large mountain, and on the top of that mountain stood a little girl that looked 4-5 years old, holding an oversized sword.
To the few who knew of her existence at this moment, the girl was known as Xu Yue. Right now she held an oversized sword in her hand.
The day after she was born, the sword appeared at her side and would not separate from her.
Worried, Xu Chao told his own father about it. After taking a single look at the sword, the old man told Xu Chao not to worry. After that, he went to play with his precious granddaughter.
Today was the day Xu Yue could finally begin training with the sword.
Even though she tried to look calm, she couldn't hide the excited grin on her face when she thought about it.
"Why did I have to wait until now to begin training?" mumbled Xu Yue. She then shuddered as she remembered what happened the last time her mother caught her training secretly.
After waiting for a few minutes, Xu Yue finally saw her father flying towards her. She then calmed down as she saw the stern look on his face.
Unknown to Xu Yue, Xu Chao had to use all his willpower to appear stern in front of his daughter.
"Today we will begin your training " said Xu Chao as he looked towards Xu Yue.
"Yes Father " said Xu Yue, failing to hide her excitement.

"Before you start training, you need to know a few things. The first thing you need to know is what cultivation actually is "
Xu Yue was quite excited. She had heard her father talk with her grandfather and mother about cultivation several times, but until now they refused to tell her about it.
"Cultivation is the process of attaining immortality, you must remember this, Immortality is the real end goal of cultivation, you shouldn't shoot yourself in the foot by being side tracked "
"Before attaining immortality, cultivation is divided into 9 realms. Right now I will only talk about the first 5 realms, you will learn about the others as your own cultivation grows. The first Realms are called Body Refining, Foundation Establishment, Soul Enlightenment, Qi Sensing and Qi Refinement Realms "
"As you have not started cultivating yet, we will only talk about the Body Refining realm. It is divided into 7 stages: Skin Refinement, Muscle Refinement, Bone Refinement, Organ Refinement, Blood Refinement, and Brain Refinement. These 6 realms are what most common cultivators go through "
"After Brain Refinement, you will go through another stage, Meridian Refinement. This will help strengthen your foundation and prepare you for the Qi Refinement realm "
Xu Yue appeared solemn as she attempted to imprint these cultivation realms in her mind.
"Most cultivators use cultivation techniques to cultivate, but in our sect we do not use them. By practicing different sword techniques, your realm will rise naturally "
"Today I shall begin teaching you the very basics of swordsmanship, the techniques of our sect are extremely broad, they also include many styles of swordsmanship, the reason for this is a technique created by the founder of the sect, The Origin Sword Style.
"Even though this technique is quite simple and easy for beginners to practice, it is extremely profound and can match the strongest Heaven Ranked techniques if cultivated to Grand Completion "
"To begin practicing the sword, not only does the body need to be prepared, a strong mind is also required. As a beginning, you will begin slashing your sword with all of your strength.
"Yes, father "
"Good, then begin swinging your sword with as much strength as you can."
Xu Chou was quite tense even though he knew that his daughter's strength was quite great. In fact, Xu Yue's strength was greater than most foundation establishment cultivators. Even so, he was still ready to swoop in and rescue her.
His worries disappeared as Xu Yue began swinging her oversized sword. After a while, he started pointing out her errors.
At first, Xu Yue felt it was quite easy to swing the sword around, but after a while, she felt that it had become much harder. What she didn't know was that it was her father increasing the gravity around her.
As her father began pointing out the mistakes in her attempts, her technique seemed to slowly morph.
Xu Chou was absolutely shocked by the speed of his daughter's improvement. Even though she had his guidance, her improvement speed was staggering.
After five hours of training, Xu You became more and more tired, not from the swinging itself but rather from the process of correcting her mistakes. She started loving the process of feeling her improvement more and more, and began to train even faster and with more vigor.
"You can stop now " said Xu Chou. Having calmed down a little, he waved his hand and a bottle filled with blue pills appeared in Xu Yue's hands.
"You can take this pill to recover from your fatigue."
Xu Yue took the pill and felt a sweet taste in her mouth. She felt invigorated and better than she had ever felt in her entire life.
"Can I continue training?"
"No, the deal I made with your mother mentioned a maximum of 5 hours of training each day."
Xu Yue felt quite sad at the thought of having to wait until tomorrow to train, but when she saw the look on her father's face, she knew that today's training was over.
After today, she began training like this every day and continued this type of life for three years.
