1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,599
First Immortal of the Sword Chapter five
dashed the pine and crane body refining technique.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,400
The night was dark as ink and
silent save for the chillering of insects.

3
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:16,399
Upon returning to his residence, sue
Ye stood within the court yard,

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,600
held his breath, and focused until
his mind was perfectly clear. Only then

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,960
did he take up a stance and
begin practicing his fist technique. From his

6
00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:33,799
perspective, the incident in the Klan
Hall wasn't worth a second thought. Cultivation

7
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:39,799
was the most important matter at hand. The path of cultivation was divided into

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,399
four major stages in total martial Tao, Origin Tao, Spirit Tao, and

9
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,679
Profound Tao. In his past life
as the sword master of Abstruse Force,

10
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:55,799
su Ye had lived for one hundred
and eight thousand years, reaching the pinnacle

11
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,840
of the Profound Tao, the Profound
Unity Realm. The Profound Unity Realm was

12
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,799
also known as the Imperial Apex Realm. Its experts emperors among emperors with life

13
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:12,079
spans of a million years in the
nine provinces of the Wilds. They were

14
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:19,040
peak level experts that towered above the
masses back in the day, relying on

15
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,480
the power and influence of the Profound
Unity Realm. Su Ye had numerous titles,

16
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,200
the Head of the Wilds, a
sovereign among emperors, the sword Master

17
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,319
of abstruse force, et cetera.
Each was a paramount honor. His reputation

18
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:41,159
was as lofty as could be throughout
all nine provinces of the Wilds. Su

19
00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:45,959
Ye could count those of comparable status
on the fingers of a single hand.

20
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:52,079
But to the current su Yi,
the Profound Unity Realm was far far away.

21
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:57,480
The task at hand was beginning his
cultivation anew. He was about to

22
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,239
step on to the Marshal Doo,
and he had to build an incomparably sturdy

23
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:07,680
foundation for the path ahead. The
Marshal Tao was the first stage of cultivation

24
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,639
as well as the beginning of the
grand Tao. It was divided into four

25
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,840
realms, blood circulation, key,
accumulation, inner furnace, and inoceriva or

26
00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:23,400
flawlessness. These were the four realms
of the martial Tao. Of them,

27
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,199
the blood circulation realm was the initial
stage of the martial Tao. In it,

28
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:36,599
one circulated their blood and key,
refining the skin, muscles, sinews,

29
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:42,520
and bones. Thus, it was
further subdivided into four layers, refining

30
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:47,759
skin, refining muscle, refining sinew, and refining bone. At the pinnacle

31
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,560
of this realm, one's blood and
key were powerful and flourishing, with skin

32
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,560
like bronze and bones like iron.
Such experts could rip tigers and leopards apart

33
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,879
with their bare hands and shattered boulders
with a single finger. Those who stepped

34
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,360
into this realm were called warriors.
In the courtyard, the moonlight flowed like

35
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:15,879
water, and the night sky was
tranquil. Su Yi's movements were slow and

36
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,439
deliberate. His back straightened, his
steps stable. His stance was firm but

37
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,039
not rigid, flexible but not soft, and each breath carried a distinctive caalence.

38
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,879
When he moved, he was like
an immortal crane, flapping its wings,

39
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:36,120
light and at ease. When he
was still, he was like a

40
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,199
cliff sided pine, its roots embedded
firmly in the rock. The Pine and

41
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:47,560
crane body refining technique. It included
nine attacks and eighteen forms. It originated

42
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:53,080
from the Absolute martial sutre of the
eight Extremedies. It was the first chapter

43
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,800
a method for establishing one's foundations in
the martial dow. The Absolute Marshal Sutra

44
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,400
of the Eight Extremedies was the work
of Suyi's close friend from his past life,

45
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:11,319
gong Yi Kai. Gong Yi Kai
was tyrannical by nature, A master

46
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:15,759
of all martial arts. He habitually
referred to himself as a mere soldier,

47
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,720
yet to the people of the Nine
Provinces of the Wilds, he was someone

48
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,120
even experts could only look up to, the peerless martial emperor, a mighty

49
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,759
existence, a living legend on the
path of the Grand Tao. His personality

50
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:39,160
was audacious and uninhibited, wantonly,
arrogant and aloof. He'd taunted the Taoisks

51
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:44,120
of the six Great Taoist sects and
walloped the three Old Demons of the Three

52
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,959
Great demon excepts who knew how many
overlords of their respective territories and imperial realm

53
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,680
experts gong Yi Kai had bitten Black
and Blue while under the pretense of paying

54
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,920
them a visit. But although practically
no one in the world knew it,

55
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,040
gong Yikai wasn't undefeated. He'd once
visited su Yi, then the sword Master

56
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,040
of Abstruse Force, only to lose
to Suyi's Tao of the Sword. It

57
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,439
was because of this battle that they
bonded and became close friends. Later,

58
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,680
when Goangi Kai pains takingly compiled a
lifetime of attainments into a martial arts scripture,

59
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,199
he gave su Yi a copy to
study. That tome was none other

60
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,199
than the absolute martial sutra of the
Eight Extremities. When he first finished reading

61
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,399
the crane and pine body refining technique
within, even su Yi couldn't help but

62
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,399
sigh. This technique near is the
perfection of the Tao. There's nothing to

63
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:47,240
add nor anything to take away.
Even su Ye had no choice but to

64
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,959
admit that, in terms of the
early stages of cultivation the four realms of

65
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,319
the Marshal Tao, gong Yi Kai's
attainments were clearly above his. Throughout all

66
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,439
of the Wild Nine Provinces, none
could compete with Gangi Kai in this regard.

67
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,439
As such, you could call Gogi
Kai pineland crane body refining technique the

68
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,120
number one foundational technique of the Wilds. Su Ye was about to begin his

69
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,879
cultivation anew he naturally didn't hesitate to
choose the pine end crane body refining technique

70
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,240
to establish the foundations of his martial
doo. This was the only way he

71
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,519
could surpass his past self at the
same stage of cultivation. The knowledge and

72
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:36,160
experience of his past life men that
su Ye already had a clear path to

73
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:42,319
follow as he cultivated anew. In
this life, he had to be stronger

74
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,560
than his former self at every stage
of cultivation. Only then could he forge

75
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:53,240
an unparalleled path and far surpass his
past life. In the time it took

76
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,480
to burn a stick of incense,
su Ye practice the full Pineland crane body

77
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:03,279
refining technique three times. He was
already covered in a sheen of sweat and

78
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:10,319
his breathing was slightly ragged. This
was already his current limit. Even so,

79
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:15,360
he was in unusually high spirits and
bathed in the morning light. His

80
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,480
tall, thin frame shone with all
the youthful vigor of a seventeen year rold.

81
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:26,279
This is already the third day since
I reawakened the memories of my previous

82
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,639
life and began my cultivation anew.
But now after just three sets, I'm

83
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:38,160
already covered in sweat. This body
of mine just isn't good enough. The

84
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:43,839
cultivation methods I used over the past
seventeen years were full of flaws, and

85
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:48,120
my foundations weren't good at all.
So he wiped his brow with a cloth

86
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,079
and pondered in this life. Before
losing his cultivation, he'd been the sword

87
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Chief of Blue, a river sword
Manner's outer sect famed throughout Cloud Driver Prefecture.

88
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,120
But in the eyes of his past
life, this minor accomplishment wasn't even

89
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:11,920
worth discussing. At seventeen years old, I've already missed the ideal age for

90
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,240
hammering out my marshal dow. Fortunately, if I use the pine and crane

91
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:22,040
body refining technique to establish my foundation, it won't be difficult to compensate for

92
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,240
the flaws of my earlier cultivation.
It's just this world's spiritual energy is a

93
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:33,519
bit too sparse, isn't it.
Sue Ye furrowed his brows. In the

94
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:39,159
three days since reawakening his memories,
he'd figured out just which world he was

95
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,440
in, the Azure Continent. It
was home to over a hundred nations,

96
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,240
big and small, its territory vast
and expansive. He was currently in the

97
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:54,679
Gray Zoo, which was but one
of the Azure continents hundred plus countries.

98
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:00,679
In his past life, su Ye
had never once heard of of the Azure

99
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,679
Continent, but he was certain that
this world was connected to the nine provinces

100
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:11,399
of the Wilds. His reasoning was
simple. The prevailing cultivation system of the

101
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,519
Azure Continent shared a common root with
the wilds. However, because this spiritual

102
00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:22,879
energy of the Azure Continent was practically
depleted, the people spoke only of the

103
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,759
Marshal and Origin Daus, the first
two realms along the path of cultivation.

104
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,840
As for the two higher realms of
cultivation, the spirit Tao and Profound Tao,

105
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:37,960
there was practically no trace of them
on the Azure Continent. They only

106
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,240
existed in legends. Rumor had it
that the mightiest experts of the Great Zoo

107
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:48,840
were only in the Origin Tao stage. Despite this, the common folk honored

108
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:54,279
them as earthly immortals. From this, it was easy to infer just how

109
00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:01,679
barren and sparse the Azure Continent's spiritual
energy was. Sou Ye pondered out loud,

110
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:07,240
even if I have countless techniques and
remarkable abilities at my disposal, are

111
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,039
reincarnated into such a barren place that
most aren't usable. But he wasn't actually

112
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,200
worried about all that. The way
of cultivation undoubtedly came down to four keywords.

113
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:24,879
Wealth, companions, techniques, and
land. If I can find a

114
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:30,080
place with concentrated spiritual energy, I
can cut my work in half for twice

115
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,879
the results. And if I can
find a few treasures of heaven and Earth

116
00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:39,200
on top of that, I'll need
three months at most to break past the

117
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,559
marshal dow and step into the origin
Doo. Su Ye's thoughts stopped here.

118
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,639
I'm getting ahead of myself, he
said with a self deprecating laugh. With

119
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:54,159
the sparse spiritual energy of the gray
Zoo, giving rise to a laxris on

120
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,679
the level of treasures of Heaven and
Earth is all but impossible. But realizing

121
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:07,159
my tao in this spiritually depleted landscape
will prove my abilities as Suzuanjen. Only

122
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,360
then will I have a chance to
reach greater heights than in my past life.

123
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:16,519
Why had he reincarnated to cultivate or
new naturally? It was a plan

124
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:22,519
to reach an even higher realm than
in his past life. Tomorrow, I'll

125
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,879
take a trip outside the city and
see if I can find a spiritual ground

126
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:31,879
suitable for cultivation. Having made up
his mind, sue Ye looked up.

127
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,200
His carefree gaze reflected the bright moon
hovering overhead and when its radiance lit up

128
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,000
his pupils, there was a hint
of an altogether different emotion visible there
