You’re Running 30,000 Simulations a Day—Trying to Stay Healthy or What?-Chapter 46: Star River Blade Art

After looting equipment from Deng Rusong, you were about to leave.
Deng Rusong called you back.
He pulled out a thick book titled "True Explanation of Pill Refining" and handed it to you.
Deng Rusong's version was much more complete and comprehensive than Xie Huide's.
Xie Huide's book was rather sloppy.
Perhaps because he was too focused on reviving Deng Wanshu to pay attention to writing properly.
Deng Rusong also told you:
He and Xie Huide would prepare for a year, then go into seclusion for a month to refine the Reviving Yang Pill.
During that month, the sect's affairs would be temporarily handled by Grand Elder You Yun.
Deng Rusong also told you to keep secret the matter of you becoming the next sect leader, as announcing it too early would affect the sect's stability.
You casually agreed to these trivial matters.
After bidding farewell to Deng Rusong, you returned to your courtyard.
You were very excited because you had confirmed your Divine Micro-Vision talent.
As long as you entered the Divine Micro-Vision state, you could detect Earth Source.
Previously, you were like an old eunuch holding a peerless beauty - aware but powerless, unable to even begin.
Now you were finally complete.
You wanted to fiercely pull down the peerless beauty's pants, take out the elastic band inside to make a slingshot, and break other people's windows with it.
You sat cross-legged in the courtyard.
After taking several deep breaths to calm yourself,
You began attempting to enter the Divine Micro-Vision state using the method Xie Huide taught you.
The first few attempts were extremely difficult.
After many more attempts, you realized it was indeed very difficult.
But of course you wouldn't give up.
You carefully reviewed the notes Xie Huide had given you.
You studied them for three full days.
During this time, you went to consult Xie Huide several more times.
He explained the key points to you in detail.
On the fourth day, in your room,
You sat cross-legged on the meditation bed, calmed your mind again, and began another attempt.
Your body and mind gradually became empty and clear.
Everything around you seemed to suddenly quiet down.
Your eyes were closed,
But the surroundings gradually became clear in your mind.
The walls, the table and chairs in the room,
A cup of tea on the table, the tea stains at the bottom of the cup -
All became clearly visible.
Most importantly, you could see the true qi surrounding your body.
The invisible true qi was now completely visible to you, with nowhere to hide.
You had finally entered the Divine Micro-Vision state again.
Your state was ethereal, your entire body warm.
You knew you could only maintain this state for fifteen minutes.
You immediately projected your consciousness into the simulation space.
Your invisible consciousness slowly attached to that mass of white Earth Source.
Maintaining the Divine Micro-Vision state, you saw the Earth Source begin to change.
The hazy mist on its surface dissipated,
Revealing the Earth Source's true form.
Looking closely,
You saw a phantom longsword quietly suspended at the Earth Source's center.
Though illusory, the sharp sword qi it emitted still made your heart tremble with fear.
Your consciousness couldn't get close at all.
If you forced your way near, your consciousness would be shredded by the sword qi.
Your consciousness transformed into your human form,
Standing far away to carefully observe this sword, not daring to approach and profane it.
"With just this thing, a Grandmaster can become an Ultimate Grandmaster?"
Your humanoid consciousness frowned anthropomorphically, looking rather skeptical.
Moreover, you were puzzled -
As someone who specialized in blades, why were you seeing a sword?
"Could it be that each Earth Source is unique, with its nature determined from the very beginning?"
You thought this was very likely.
You planned to ask Xie Huide about it later.
You examined the Earth Source more carefully.
Amidst the sword qi, you seemed to sense something else contained within.
But you had no clue what it might be.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly.
You were forced out of the Divine Micro-Vision state.
"Whew~"
You suddenly opened your eyes, gasping for breath.
Cold sweat poured down your back, your entire body trembling.
The toll was too great.
At this moment, you were more drained than Bai Chen after three days and nights in a brothel.
However, this exhaustion would gradually lessen as you became more proficient, until it no longer affected you.
You took out some restorative pills and swallowed them.
Soon after,
You immediately regained your vigor, becoming a tough man again.
But you would need to wait ten days before attempting Divine Micro-Vision cultivation again.
For the next ten days, you focused on regular cultivation.
Your Marrow Washing peak cultivation took another step toward the Organ Fortifying realm.
Ten days later,
You began Divine Micro-Vision cultivation again.
Despite twenty-some days of relentless effort, you didn't succeed even once.
"This thing is a bit too metaphysical!" you muttered to yourself.
You had no choice but to temporarily give up on Divine Micro-Vision cultivation.
You returned to proper cultivation.
While practicing martial arts, your confidence - bruised by the failed Divine Micro-Vision attempts - was restored.
"I really am still that little genius!"
"He Yu, you damn kid, you're fucking awesome!"
You encouraged yourself while cultivating.
A month passed quickly.
One day, Deng Rusong came to see you.
He brought you something good -
A sect-protecting level Grandmaster technique: the Star River Blade Art.
This was the main cultivation technique of an Ultimate Grandmaster once known as the Second Blade of Great Qian.
Why "Second Blade"?
Because this Ultimate Grandmaster had said if he claimed to be second, no one would dare claim to be first.
That's how domineering he was.
Although the Second Blade of Great Qian was rather stubborn,
The martial world sincerely acknowledged his strength.
He was universally recognized as the strongest blade master.
Because of this, a small problem later arose.
Someone claimed to be the First Blade of Great Qian.
This excited the Second Blade, who rushed to issue a challenge.
But when he arrived, he found only a minor Bone Tempering martial artist.
This Bone Tempering martial artist immediately surrendered,
Then publicly declared he had accepted the Second Blade's challenge -
He had just unfortunately lost, making him the officially recognized Third Blade of Great Qian!
This move opened new possibilities for other blade masters.
They began declaring themselves the First Blade in imitation.
Soon there were over a hundred joint Third Blades of Great Qian.
In this "Three Blades" group, the weakest was even just a Skin Refining martial artist.
These blade masters weren't studying blade techniques - they were studying military strategy now.
The Second Blade was furious, having been thoroughly schooled.
He stopped showing off and honestly took the position of First Blade of Great Qian.
After hearing Deng Rusong's story, you objectively commented: "This really is a story about a second-rate blade master."
You even doubted whether this second-rate Ultimate Grandmaster's technique was any good.
What if practicing it made you as brain-dead as he was?
