章 178: "It was an illusion!"

If a sword cultivator can perfectly perform the sword moves, and also has enough speed in his moves, then he has the ability to challenge the cultivators with even a higher realm than his own.

This is one of the main reasons why Sword Cultivation is one of the most preferred ways of cultivation among all the cultivators.

To get a good sharpness in the moves, a cultivator must perform the sword moves as much as he can, and as perfectly as he can.

In this case, the speed of the moves doesn't matter. What the cultivators go after is getting the moves and attacks right.

Once this thing is set, then they can focus on speed.

Sword Cultivation Manuals are designed in such a way that the closer a cultivator gets to perfecting the sword move, faster he can perform it.

Thus, perfection in sword moves also results in better speed. 

It can be even said that these two main factors, speed and sharpness, are very much dependent on each other.
