6 Bloodhear

Ye Yuyan looked around and quickly read the title of the books that flew past him. He grabbed every sword related book he could see.

A hundred titles appeared in front of him, he looked through the ones that caught his attention. Emotion Severing Sword, Seven Kills Sword, Fantasia Sword Art, Blue Moon Sword, Bloodless Blade.

Emotion Severing Sword Code- Sever the 7 emotions and 6 desires to cultivate this sword. The final technique, Nirvana Sword.

Seven Kills Sword Code- Kill 7 of your closest family, friends, and comrades to cultivate this sword. Use their blood to form a blood sword inside of yourself. Final technique, 49 Executions.

Fantasia Sword Code- Devour illusionary beasts, and alter one's body into an eldritch abomination. Final technique, Madness.

Blue Lotus Sword Code- Absorb starlight and moonlight to form a blue lotus inside of yourself. Final Technique, Blue lotus Sword Dance.

Bloodless Blade- Sacrifice your blood, to increase your physical hardness. Final technique, Blood Congealment.

Every title featured various sword stances and final attacks. Ye Yuyan quickly read them and found them to be insufficient.

'I need a versatile sword code that I could improve on then adapt into my fighting style.' He thought to himself, he let go of the books and they went back to flying. Then Ye Yuyan looked up and saw a ragged old scroll flying.

Ye Yuyan looked at the scroll with surprise, westerners often used books instead of scrolls. He couldn't help but be curious, about what it was.

Ye Yuyan jumped and intercepted the book. He gripped the cover and felt a powerful sword intent flood out. Although Ye Yuyan was a swordsman, he was nowhere near the stage of sword intent.

So once the sword intent flooded out, Ye Yuyan's glabella felt like it was being pierced. He couldn't help but smile.

"This is the one! No doubt about it." Ye Yuyan hurriedly opened the book, and inside he saw the name of the technique.

Heart Sword Code- The core of a man is his heart, the core of a swordsman is his sword. Without a sword and without a heart, you can never be truly complete. Control the heart with your sword, and control the sword with your heart. Final Technique-???

'What is my heart?' Ye Yuyan mused, he thought of defining events in his life or his various abilities. But no one thing could just define him, how could his heart be so easily captured?

'I don't have the time to be philosophical, I must look for one more book.' Ye Yuyan thought as he shook his head and sighed.

He got up and left the sword section, now he needs a defensive code. He zipped around the library, looking through every book he could find. Until he found a well-preserved book in a dustier bookshelf. He grabbed the book, and couldn't help but smile.

Illusionary Blue Moon Code- Create a frost moon inside of yourself using heavy frost energy. Summon the moon to guard against attacks. Final Technique, Moon Gazer.

"Mm, with these 2 codes I should increase my battle power a lot. According to this handbook, I need to attend Order training in 7 days. I'll go into closed-door training until then." Ye Yuyan said as he read the book Feng Shu gave him.

Ye Yuyan went over to the help desk and talked to the old woman manning the station. She looked over the book, and the symbol on his hand. Soon after she gave him the book back, and went back to her own reading.

Ye Yuyan couldn't help but wryly smile, she didn't speak to him once explaining anything. It's not that she was required to do that, but he was confused as to what just happened.

"Thank you, Senior." Ye Yuyan said with a little curtsy and he walked out of the tower. As he was now a part of the Verulyim Code, he was given a residence in the order halls. With him being younger, he was going to live with the recruits his age.

He walked across the city until he stopped a small wooden house with a courtyard. The neighborhood he lived in was very close to the tower, and all around were houses like his. A few had vegetation growing in their courtyard, and others had outdoor forges.

His abode was much quainter than the others, it had a simple design and a rustic feel to it. Ye Yuyan went inside and found that the room was rather dusty.

It had a single bed, table, and a desk to the corner of the room. In the corner of the room was a broom, Ye Yuyan went over and started sweeping up the room. It took an hour to get rid of the dust, but afterward, the room looked much homelier.

Ye Yuyan walked over to his desk and set down the ragged scroll and book. He took a deep breath and examined around the room.

'Is there anything monitoring me?' He thought as he carefully looked around for traces of magic. Finding nothing, he relaxed and took the ragged scroll.

He went over to his bed with the scroll and book and sat down with his legs crossed. He opened the book, and reread the Blue Lotus Code. When he finished, he closed his eyes and started to meditate.

Taking deep breaths in, his body started to relax. Inside his body, the red lotus bloomed, and blue essence burst into his bloodstream. When he exhaled he would exhale a frosty breath, a blue mist emanated from Ye Yuyan's body.

"Illusionary Blue Moon Code!" Inside of Ye Yuyan's body, the 9 Revolutions Prime Lotus was rapidly spinning. A huge amount of blue mist was congealing on top of it, it started to take form. Ye Yuyan's body released a chilling air, that rapidly lowered the room temperature.

If a regular mortal came in there, they would be frozen to death in a matter of minutes. After 99 revolutions of the lotus, the blue mist took form. From the mist formed a blue moon but this moon was rather strange as it seemed to ripple like a reflection in the water.

On Ye Yuyan's body, the mist pressed against his skin, becoming like a strange frost. On his right arm appeared ice crystals, they rapidly sealed together to form a tight arm guard. Behind him appeared the illusory image of a blue moon that shone down on his body stabilizing the frost guard.

"This will be hard to break, now onto the sword code…." Ye Yuyan looked at the ice guard with a happy smirk. He deactivated the frost guard and reached over for the ragged scroll. He reread it, and quickly went back to meditating on its secrets.

"My sword is an extension of my heart…." He mumbled as his dagger flew out of his sleeve. It levitated right in front of him, runic patterns shined along it as it started to elongate. It became a dual-edged red katana, with ice crystals along its blade.

"Blood Moon, the remnants of a broken dream" His dark eyes glazed over with incredible callousness.

"Blood." Ye Yuyan whispered as the scene of blood pooling down the mountain repeated in his my mind.

"The heart of my sword is blood." Ye Yuyan said he moved a single finger along the edge of the blade. His blood dripped onto the sword, and it started to hum with power.

With Ye Yuyan's declaration, the red lotus fully bloomed. On the second leaf, was engraved another runic pattern. His heart of blood was engraving sword truths on the lotus. The lotus' red color darkened a bit, and 10% seemed to be metallic.

With the engraving complete, the lotus resealed itself. Ye Yuyan's eyes flashed open, and he grabbed his sword. In his eyes, he could see strange globs of color throughout the room. His sword seemed to highlight a path, a metallic color.

"This is the Sword Force!" Ye Yuyan mumbled in surprise as he looked around the room. He had heard about this state before when a swordsman comprehends a sword truth, he will gain the ability to control the sword force. Which is an esoteric energy force that exists all around him. With control of the sword force, all his attacks would be boosted and he can do all sorts of feats with it.

"My heartsword starts with blood but this is not all that my heart is." Ye Yuyan could feel at that moment if he were to strike now with his heart, he could stir the life out of an opponent with a single heartsword strike.

Ye Yuyan meditated on the techniques a little longer, then he stood up and looked outside. He had a very good internal clock and realized the 7 days were up. It's like they always say, time passes by quickly while cultivating.
