Chapter 66: 65: What is What?

For a moment, even Qin was speechless. Isn't this supposed to be an Enlightenment Tree? Why is it calling itself just a tree? Are my questions too hard to answer?

What is Sword?

For me, a sword is everything. But, everything is also a sword. To use a sword, one needs sword belief. It is also a tool to protect my people and kill my enemies. Sword is the weapon for blood. If I look for a sword everywhere, I won't find it.

Godfather told me, I will always have a sword and it is always in my heart. Was he talking about Sword Heart? But, I haven't even reached Sword Heart Realm. Or, maybe he was talking about Sword Belief. I had it for a long time but I never find a way to manifest it until I found that book.

So, what is Power? What is Soft? What is Speed? What is Hard?

For these, there are two different meanings. A regular meaning and a sword meaning. I don't need a regular meaning but what I do need is Sword meaning. For me, Power is the force that the sword energy can produce.

Softness is the gentle movements of the hand and the sword. If I can make my sword gentle enough, my sword can cut iron like butter. Speed is something different. Just like power, it is also linked with sword energy. How fast a sword can be?

From his Godfather's words, his sword can be infinitely fast, transcending time and space, and even the world itself. But, his sword wasn't that fast. He could barely make any surprise attack with his speed.

As for Hard, it is something that is related to the durability of the sword. If a sword can attack, then it is powerful. If a sword can block, then it is durable.

Power represents an attack, Hard represents Defense, Soft represents dexterity, and speed represents agility. While attack and defense seem opposite, Power and Hardness can complement each other. Although Dexterity and Agility seem the same, Soft and Speed can be completely different aspects.

Soft depends upon a swordsman's hand movement, speed depends upon the sword's energy. If he forms a sword, and attacks then it depends upon the speed for that attack to hit. If he injects sword energy into a sword and swings his hand, then it depends upon the Softness of his movement for that attack to hit.

But, even so, both do have a similarity. Softness still represents the speed of a sword's movement. And, speed still makes his hand move faster, but these are only the terms.

What is Earth? What is Water? What is Metal?

For these, he does have an answer. Earth seems soil, sand, or anything that is related to the ground. Water is simply water. There is nothing he can say except for its nature which is gentle. Water is Gentle. Metal is different. It is not an actual natural element rather something that nature provides under several circumstances.

Gold is a metal, iron is also a metal, bronze is also metal as well, and silver as well. Metal is the last element that was added to the Five Elements. Originally, it was Wood. But, Wood was a mutation between earth and water.

After all, wood is also a living being. And, thus in the presence of life, water and earth create wood.

How can he attain Sword Heart?

He didn't answer this to himself because time will tell him. There are still five stages left before he tries to attain Sword Heart.

What is Dark? What is Light?

People see these two elements as the rarest elements. And, they are indeed rare. Light is powerful and holy. Dark is gloomy and unkillable like cockroaches. As for what he understands about these, he doesn't understand anything, nothing at all.

That's why he didn't touch these two topics under the effect of enlightenment. The enlightenment means seeking answers by asking yourself. Because there is no one to ask. It is your enlightenment.

But, what is Devil?

A race hated by humans. Yes, they are indeed hated by humans but Yan Continent also has the Devil Region. He doesn't understand why the humans didn't clear this region. After all, everyone hates the devil.

Devil means hatred, killing intent, anger, lust, pride, and cold attitude. This is what he feels whenever he transforms into a devil. The devil is taboo for humans.

Then, what is good? And, what is Evil?

Good has several meanings and it depends upon the situation. If you are good to someone, it doesn't mean you are doing good things. You could be doing bad things to the person you don't know while doing good things for the person you know.

And, you don't necessarily do evil things unless you are forced to. There is a certain emotion in humans what we call guilt. This is the only emotion that keeps us away from doing evil things. But, if the pressure on you is greater than the pressure from guilt, then you fucked up.

You will do the bad thing which would be considered evil to the people. Such as being a devil is not an evil thing but devils are born with all kinds of negative emotions and such they walk on the path that we describe as evil.

Swordsman never makes this mistake. He doesn't let guilt stop him from doing bad things but he also doesn't stop himself from helping helpless people. Because how he perceives the world might be different from how we perceive the world.

This is why swordsmen are respected. They possess immense self-control. Of course, this self-control can't help them whenever they truly fall into the darkness.

The path of a swordsman is determined by his heart and nothing else. Qin didn't realize how much time has passed. He continued to sink his mind in the enlightenment. He tried to reap as much benefit as he could.

Lightning Drawing Sword Art and Fire Serpent Art were two martial arts that he tried to comprehend in this enlightenment.

Lightning Drawing Sword Art was a single-move art. Once a sword is unsheathed, a bolt of lightning will strike his opponent. And, the faster he draws his sword, the faster his lightning bolt can be. And, the more qi he uses, the powerful it will be.

It could be said there is no upper limit to this sword art. That's why Qin chose it. Because he didn't like changing martial arts. If he can practice this art to Fine and detailed Realm, then he will be a lot stronger.

And, there is a most important part of the lightning bolt. Once the sword is unsheathed, the lightning bolt struck his opponent but this lightning bolt will possess his sword energy. And so, if he can manage to add more sword belief at the exact time when he draws the lightning, he can make his lightning as sharp as his sword.

Fire Serpent Art is a unique art. Unlike any of his other arts, this is a movement art that itself is also a supportive art. To be exact, he can manipulate the fire serpent movements to the point where he can turn this into an attack as well.

There are two kinds of forms in this art. Fire Steps Form and Fire Serpent Form.

Fire Steps Form is simply a movement form where he condenses flames under his step. Once he forms enough heat, he can make the air hotter and use it to lift himself. And, using the heat, he can also manipulate his direction.

Because once the hot air moves up, the cold air fills that place and thus creates a powerful blow of wind. He can use the fire to make himself lighter and use the wind to change direction or even speed up. But, this is just the first form.

Fire Serpent Form is a unique form. Here, he creates the fire serpent with the help of his fire element. Once he creates the fire serpent, he coats his body with the serpent and simply flies on the sky.

The fire serpent is supposed to have a small pair of wings that can help it move the same as it moves in the ground. In this form, he doesn't just simply coat his body with fire, he also changes his body like a serpent to create less friction.

These two arts were important arts that he must comprehend soon. After this, he has already planned to train his Ice King Spiritual Body Technique. Once he condenses Ice King Spiritual Body, he would be able to train the ice element.

Only then, he can practice Three Yin Ice Art. But just as he found himself immersed in the enlightenment, his consciousness was suddenly vomited out of the tree. This made Qin dumbfounded.

He was very close to comprehending the Lightning Drawing Sword Art and Fire Serpent Art but he can't do anything. He had already lost his chance. He couldn't help but sigh. He still had nearly a hundred contribution points given by Elder Chen but he found it was already getting dark.

So, he went to his room and slept.
