The Messenger of Death

Chapter 11: sword cultivator

Alex didn't know if he should feel happy or depressed. He possessed knowledge, power, and riches that he could not access at will.

"Is that everything you guys have to give me? Grace what about your niece?" Alex asked.

"Don't worry once we leave this independent space you will be able to meet her," Grace replied.

"That is not everything. I have one more thing to give to you." Granoss said.

Granoss raised the sword that was hanging on his waist and help it up.

"As you already know, I am a sword cultivator. A sword cultivator at the Sword Consent level."

Hearing what Granoss said, a part of the information he got from Granoss became clear.

'There are eight stages when cultivating the sword;

DAO SEED STAGE.

DAO SPROUT STAGE.

SWORD AND MIND STAGE.

SWORD HEART STAGE.

SWORD INTENT STAGE.

SWORD CONSENT STAGE.

SWORD SOUL STAGE.

ONE WITH THE SWORD.

Unlike bloodline cultivation and QI cultivation, sword cultivation doesn't have many complications. In cultivating the sword, what matters the most is comprehension ability and will power. Sword cultivators will have to comprehend rule-bending powers, powers that are able to disrupt and manipulate the rules in the world.

And for that, sword cultivators also need an unbendable will. Not everyone could cultivate the sword. In fact, not everyone could cultivate the Dao of weapons. Even talented geniuses found it very difficult to do.it is not easy to form a Dao seed.'

Alex went through the information that had just gotten clear in his mind.

"This sword with me is not an actual sword, it is only an imitation of the sword I normally use. This imitation is in no way inferior to the sword I normally use. This imitation was formed through the manipulation of Rule bending powers."

"Are you going to give me the sword?" Alex asked.

"Not exactly. Weapon cultivators at the Consent stage of their respective weapon Dao can pass down their cultivated weapon Dao. But it will only help the receiver form a Dao seed, and in exchange, the giver will lose their weapon Dao cultivation forever."

Saying so Granoss transformed the sword in his hand into a small stone that looked like a bean seed. The seed was brown. It started to close the distance between it and Alex.

Alex flinched immediately and quickly said.

"Wait! Will this hurt again or expel any impurities? I want to be mentally prepared this time."

Alex was someone that could withstand pain ever since he was a kid, but after coming to this world, his understanding of pain has changed.

"Don't worry. This only has to do with comprehension. You won't feel any pain. Unless you are not able to comprehend anything then you might get a headache." Granoss reassured him with a smile.

Alex was still skeptical because Voss said something like that and it wasn't so. But he still agreed as he prepared for any kind of pain mentally.

The seed was now very close to Alex, it touched his temple. Granoss was speaking the truth, he didn't feel any pain. The only thing he felt was an itch by the side of his head.

Suddenly Alex heard a cracking sound. The seed in his head now had cracks on it, a small leaf that looked like a pen appeared in his mind. Alex didn't know how to explain what he was feeling at the moment. In simple terms, he felt like he could understand the language of blades.

The language of weapons in general. He felt some kind of familiarity with them. With a substantial amount of comprehension, he would be able to communicate with this familiarity.

"How does it feel?" Granoss asked.

"It feels amazing. A pen-like-leaf appeared in my head after the seed broke apart. Then I started to feel some kind of familiarity with blades. Sharp objects. I feel like I can connect with any kind of weapon. Is the rule-bending power?"

"Hahahaha!! This should be one of the few good things that have happened today. Kid your comprehension ability is outstanding. You have comprehended enough to break through to the Dao sprout stage." Granoss paused for a few seconds, he frowned his face and asked.

"You said that a pen-like-leaf appeared in your mind? Are you sure it is not a sword-like-leaf that appeared in your mind? Or did the leaf resemble any kind of weapon? And you feel like you can connect with any kind of weapon?"

"Yes, I'm very sure that the leaf looks like a pen. And yes I feel like I can connect to any type of weapon." Alex confirmed.

Granoss placed his hand under his chin and said.

"Normally after breaking through the Dao seed stage, a leaf resembling the weapon you have an affinity with will form in your sea of Dao. At most two kinds of weapons will appear and the person will be able to connect with those two weapons.

But you feel an affinity with every kind of weapon, and a pen-like-leaf appeared in your sea of Dao. How is a pen a weapon that represents every weapon? Kid you are an abomination that is not meant to exist in this world.

Such has never happened before. Individuals that can cultivate a Dao of a single weapon are respected. The ones that can cultivate two are even more revered and are given the title Nonpareil.

You, Alex, have an affinity with every kind of weapon, you are what the Cultivation world will label as a Nonpareil. You are more of a Nonpareil than most in the world of cultivation."

Granoss said with a tint of reverence and joy in his voice.

Voss, Daemon, and Grace also felt the same way as Granoss felt at the moment. Alex is an Existence that was not meant to exist in this world.

'What were the chances that we would summon someone like this? Is my clan's artifact this scary?' Grace thought to herself as she looked at her clan's artifact with more respect now.

Alex had his eyes wide open, he didn't know when his jaw had dropped. He looked shocked and surprised by what Granoss had said.

'Am I that good? I guess I'm also a genius without any equals.'

He proudly thought to himself, giving a blinding smile that made him look a lot more refined and handsome than he already was.

"What you feel is not the rule-bending power. You can only start to sense the rule-bending power at the Sword Heart stage. You can only start to disrupt the rule-bending power at the Sword Intent stage. And you can only start to manipulate the rule-bending power at the Sword Consent stage.

To command the rule-bending power you would have to be one with the Sword. But the stage is a myth even in the God realms. I suppose in your case I shouldn't call it sword but weapon. The stages for other weapon Dao are the same. Only the name of the Dao you cultivate will be different." Granoss explained.

'Meaning I will have to be one with every weapon if I want to command the rule-bending power.'

Alex thought. Ignoring what Granoss said about the stage being a myth even in the God realms.
