My bathroom leads to the celestial realm.

31. Sword control, flight!

(I have made revisions from version 27 to 30. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.)

He Tiannan suddenly turned around: What do you mean it's done? It's only been a short time. What are you doing with me... huh?

His gaze fell on the flying sword suspended in mid-air, and his eyes widened instantly.

"It really worked?" He Tiannan stared incredulously at the smirking Xu Yan, as if a city wall had collapsed in his mind. "How did you do that?"

Xu Yan feigned innocence: "It was just as you said, first the divine sense, then the true essence, and then it was like this!"

I don't believe you for a second!

He Tiannan shoved another sword into Xu Yan's hand: "Try it again!"

Xu Yan did as instructed, and soon the two swords were suspended side by side in the air.

He Tiannan's eyes were lifeless, his Dao heart in turmoil. Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him: "What is your cultivation level?"

"I don't know!" Xu Yan said, looking completely bewildered.

"What about the cultivation technique? What kind of technique are you practicing?"

Xu Yan remained bewildered.

What was real just now is fake now; he just doesn't want to reveal that he has a demon core inside him.

"How many times did you break through in total?"

Xu Yan hesitated and held up two fingers, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" He Tiannan firmly denied it.

Refining a flying sword at level three? What kind of joke is this?

Xu Yan was also a little puzzled, but he really had only broken through twice!

Could it be that he established his foundation after only two breakthroughs?

Stop messing around, aren't you afraid of tearing your balls if you take too big a step?

He tried to console himself: "Is it because my true energy is special?"

He Tiannan nodded, then shook his head: "Doesn't seem like it..."

He suddenly pulled out a paper talisman and stuck it to his chest, immediately emitting a faint golden light visible to the naked eye: "Come on, hit me here, with all your might!"

Xu Yan quickly refused, "No, no, that won't do!"

"Just hit me! What can a mere Qi Refining user do to me?"

Xu Yan...

"Then can I hit it?"

"bring it on!"

Xu Yan mobilized his true energy and struck He Tiannan in the chest with his palm.

A few strands of electric arcs spread from the latter's body, and the layer of golden light flickered, almost shattering on the spot.

He Tiannan was naturally unharmed, but his eyes showed increasing surprise: "Your cultivation is at least at the late stage of Qi Refining, how could you have only broken through twice?"

That's not surprising. He's in the late stage of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Establishment. It's not impossible for him to put in some effort to refine the flying sword... The question is, why does he look like he's putting in so much effort?

Xu Yan continued to feign ignorance: "I don't know either!"

"No, something's definitely wrong!" The more confused he became, the more impatient He Tiannan grew. Suddenly, he pointed to the cliff behind the thatched hut, "Use the flying sword, with all your might!"

Xu Yan said awkwardly, "I don't know how!"

He Tiannan then remembered that he had only taught Xu Yan the method of refining the sword, but not the means of controlling it. He immediately taught Xu Yan a sword control technique: "At first, if you are not proficient, you can use hand gestures to assist you. Once you are proficient, it will naturally move with your body!"

"Oh!" Xu Yan only half understood, then used his divine sense to lock onto a flying sword and pointed it at the cliff face, "Go!"

The flying sword responded immediately, seemingly slow but actually swift, flying towards the target. With a soft snap, the sword tip struck the rock wall, scattering sparks.

He Tiannan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The speed is acceptable, but the strength is too weak..."

At this point, I wanted to give him some advice, such as to practice diligently and not slack off, but then I thought about it again and realized that this kid is a prodigy who cannot be judged by ordinary standards, so I decided to pass.

Xu Yan retrieved his flying sword, tenderly touching the blade to make sure it was undamaged before letting out a sigh of relief.

He Tiannan was speechless. That was my flying sword, okay? You're just going to treat it as your own?

He thought about it, but said nothing.

He didn't even remember when he got these two flying swords, and he was too lazy to even name them. He just gave them to him, so what?

Before He Tiannan could give any instructions, Xu Yan started fiddling with his new toy, first controlling a flying sword to fly in a straight line, changing the speed of the flying sword by the amount of true energy.

The sword moved forward and backward, back and forth in a monotonous back-and-forth motion that was enough to make one sleepy.

Xu Yan, however, was thoroughly enjoying himself, playing with constant speed, acceleration, deceleration, and speed changes.

Once you've mastered straight-line drills, challenge yourself with curves—tossing things up and down, spinning around yourself, and adjusting the turning angle at each speed…

Effective control distance, maximum control distance, inertial control distance, flight angle and distance...

Cultivation cannot be explained by science, but sword wielding is a sport, which can be analyzed scientifically!

It may seem like a joke, but he actually had the data memorized all along.

Having mastered one sword, he then unleashed the other, intending to combine the two swords in one strike.

Isn't this ridiculous?

He Tiannan was about to stop them when he saw two swords moving side by side, slowly advancing and retreating.

But with Xu Yan's current strength, he can only run in a straight line with his dual swords.

Then, he saw Xu Yan put down the flying sword, lift his foot, and carefully stand on the sword.

He Tiannan laughed angrily on the spot: "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing?"

Xu Yan replied matter-of-factly, "Flying on a sword!"

"That's not how you wield a sword!" He Tiannan sighed and recited another incantation. "Flying on a sword isn't about stepping on it; it's about becoming one with the sword, enveloping yourself in its light, and making yourself a part of the sword. Understand?"

Xu Yan nodded repeatedly: "Understood!"

Yes, that explains the paradox of why a cultivator could move at high speed while standing on such a narrow sword without falling off.

He Tiannan added, "With your current cultivation level, you can't even urge the sword light... Never mind, give it a try, try it first!"

Having learned enough lessons from the past, Master He finally made the right choice.

After digesting the information for a while, Xu Yan tried to activate the incantation. A wisp of sword light slowly condensed on the flying sword, but no matter how hard he tried, there was only that one wisp. He couldn't even cover the blade, let alone achieve oneness with the sword.

He Tiannan was already immune to it and wasn't surprised at all.

Then, he saw Xu Yan come up with a new trick, hanging things on the flying sword and even gripping the hilt with both hands and pulling it down with all his might.

Xu Yan was not joking, but wanted to see how much weight the flying sword could bear. The result was about one-third of his body weight.

It's a bit low, but it's enough.

Xu Yan rushed into the thatched hut, removed the bedding and covered the glider frame with it, carefully securing it in place. He then took out two flying swords and secured one to each side.

He Tiannan asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Xu Yan lifted the hang glider to test its weight and laughed, "Just you wait and see!"

Having said that, he suddenly rushed to the edge of the stone platform and leaped into the abyss: "Go!"

He Tiannan jumped up, about to rush out and rescue the kid, when he suddenly heard a joyful roar from below the stone platform: "Yohoo!"

The next second, the hang glider rose from below the stone platform.

Although the flying sword was used to control the direction, that thing was indeed flying!

Just as the sun was rising, the morning light shone on the glider that was gradually flying away, outlining a golden silhouette.

Its daybreak!

He Tiannan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: This kid is really unexpected!
