Chapter 2680 The Concentration Method
Corey, Faran, and the four holy trees had been staying in the cave ever since they hade here.
Even after Austin had left, they had not.
This was because the cave was home to better quality ofw power than the outside space, and it also
contained a hint of real immortal energy.
Therefore, the four holy trees liked to stay in here and practice.
On the other hand, Austin was in the time chamber right now.
A sword was floating in front of him. It was surrounded by streaks of sword aura which curled around it
and revolved slowly.
Sitting down cross legged, Austin released Five-element Sword Aura to sense and understand the
weapon in front of him. He wanted to go deeper and understand the sword intent contained in it.
He found that the sword aura contained in the long sword was quite terrifying.
If he had not practiced the Five Elements Dominant Swordsmanship in the past, he would have been
reduced to ashes by the weapon just by getting close to it.
However, he was safe now, so Austin released his spiritual sense to envelop the sword.
Gradually, he became immersed in the sword aura and intent.
Time passed by, and he never felt it. One day, two days, three days...
Only one day had passed in the outside world, yet it had already been thirty years inside the time
chamber. This asynchronous rtion to the outside world gave him an advantage.
Austin now had plenty of time to understand and master the weapon.
More than ten yearster, Austin felt that he and the sword aura had be morepatible now.
Streaks of extremely powerful Five-element Sword Aura were nowing out of the long sword and
intertwining with the Five-element Sword Aura released by Austin.
This meant that the long sword''s Five-element Sword Aura was sharpening and refining Austin''s own
sword aura and intent. It would make him even more powerful.
With time, Austin''s sword aura became more and more powerful.
This was a good thing for his swordsmanship cultivation base.
About a hundred yearster ording to the time chamber, some sort of spiritual power began to
faintlye out of the de of the sword. It surprised Austin quite a bit.
The interesting thing was that this spiritual power was very weak and was hidden in the sword aura and
intent.
If it hadn''t been for his powerful spiritual sense, he wouldn''t have even noticed it.
Austin tried his best to sense that spiritual power.
No one knew how long it was before he had any sess, but
finally, Austin captured a glimpse.
It was the image of a man, with a long sword hanging on his waist. He looked dignified and tall. His
white clothes fluttered in the wind, as if he was about to ascend to the rank of immortals.
He was the Sword Emperor!
Austin immediately recognized this familiar figure. This wasn''t his first encounter with him;
Austin had seen the statue of the Sword Emperor in the Sunset Mountain of the Heavenly Dragon Holy
Kingdom in the Prime Martial World.
"I started practicing swordsmanship at the age of five. Before I turned 200 years old, I traveled around
the Immortal End World with my sword in my hand. I was invincible at the time, and at the top of the

world!
When I was finally two hundred years old, I left the Immortal End World and went on to explore other
parts of the universe.
It took about a thousand years, but after that, there were few in the universe who were qualified to be
my opponents. In term of swordsmanship, I was invincible!
After tenplete centuries of my age, I left my own gxy and went to the bigger universes, visiting
various worlds to hone my sword skills. I was getting more and more powerful every day.
The day will finallye when I becamepletely invincible in every single part of the universe.
No one had the ability topete with me by then!"
Austin heard the Sword Emperor''s story through spiritual sense and
was stunned by what he had heard!
That speech was really inspiring!
It seemed like the basic ount of the Sword Emperor''s life, but there was more than that.
It was known to all that when a cultivator in swordsmanship used the sword to kill his opponent, the
sword aura and sword intent he released contained the essence and spirit that he practiced hard all his
life, and everything that he had learnt through his whole life''s experience, hardships and setbacks. All
these things were added into the sword intent when he wielded.
This kind of sword intent was the most terrible sword intent.
It was estimated that when the Sword Emperor had left his sword in the Ghostdom, he had left behind
arge portion of his spiritual sense energy.
That was why Austin could hear him speak and perceive his image.
"Swordsmanship is all about intent realm.
Sword intent! That is the foundation to kill the enemy!
No matter how strong one is at swordsmanship, or how powerful his skill is, he cannot control his
weapon without the sword intent!
If one manages to cultivate the sword intent to its extreme, then he or she will be able to destroy
everything in the world and be invincible!
There are thousands of ways to cultivate the sword intent. I have one such method, which is very
practical, called the Concentration Method..."
Austin was thinking about the life of the Sword Emperor when he suddenly heard this too.
"There really is the inheritance of Sword Emperor here!"
Austin got excited and diverted all of his attention at the spiritual image at once. He didn''t want to miss
any word.
It was a rare thing for anyone to get a chance to learn the sword skills from the Sword Emperor himself.
The Sword Emperor was the best and most powerful swordsman in the universe.
Austin would get unlimited benefits if he could earn his inheritance.
After a while, Austin finally captured all there was to know about the Concentration Method, and
recorded it in his Soul Sea permanently.
The Sword Emperor had fully exined the importance of the sword intent and introduced a practical
way to condense the sword intent.
Hearing the method, Austin was also determined to refine his sword intent through the Concentration
Method.
After that, he continued to sense, listen, and grasp the fragments of thoughts left behind by the Sword
Emperor in that sword.
Every time Sword Emperor had brandished the sword, pieces of his mind had blended with the weapon
itself.
But it didn''t mean that anyone could sense and capture these pieces from the sword.
That was mainly because the swordsmanship Austin was practicing had originated from the Sword
Emperor himself.
Therefore, his own sword aura and the intent in the long sword were in resonance and harmony. That
was the only reason fragments of the Emperor''s spiritual sense energy had appeared for him.
Half a yearter, Austin finally finished his study of the long sword.
Over the past six months, he had sensed the fragments of spiritual sense energy on the sword and
found that though some were intact, some were broken as well.
Most of them were Sword Emperor''s life experiences.
The most valuable thing he had got was the Concentration Method for cultivating the sword intent.
''Good. I shall use the Concentration Method to cultivate sword intent!''
Austin decided.
The so-called Concentration Method allowed the cultivator to integrate the power of all the moves he
had learned into one single and swift killing stroke.
If a cultivator had a hundred moves in his repertoire, then he couldbine them into one using the
method, and unleash that power against the enemy.
That way, the force of his one move would be equal to his entire firepower, which would be a
hundred times stronger than normal.
Further, there were two points one had to keep in mind. The first was speed.
ording to the Emperor, one should never underestimate the importance of speed.
This was a sort of rule of thumb for all sorts of martial arts.
It appeared simple but being fast was of great value.
The second point was tobine the power of all of one''s moves into one. This was what differentiated
this method.
So in a nutshell, one would need to integrate the sword intent of all his moves in a short time and then
unleashed all that power in one move.
This would make his move extremely powerful.
Therefore, Austin started to cultivate the sword intent with the Concentration Method.
