章 10: Choosing Sword Arts
Shiva meditated and circulated his internal nature Ki for 3 months before walking out of the cave he was in. Of course he didn't forget to take out beast meat and medicines from the pagoda ring to keep him self well nourished and clean.
What Shiva needs most right now is a practice sword and keep a calm mind.
"After three months of meditating and revising the forms of the techniques of those two monsters, I'm finally in the initial stage"
Shiva finally understood why those guys could split the sky and slow down time with just their intent and sword.
"The level that they were at was at the peak of Sword intent realm, and they were already able to cut the sky open"
Shiva learned that the sword cultivation levels are like this,
Sword Dao is one of the 3000 Great Dao in martial arts.
Realms of the Sword Dao:
Sword Intent
Heart of the Sword
Sword Soul
Heavenly Dao of the Sword
In these four large realms, there are smaller realms dividing them:
Initial Stage
Small Success Stage
Large Success Stage
Perfection
The Sword intent Realm and the Sword soul Realm are in the manuals he's read. it something like...
In the path of becoming a powerhouse many choose the Path of the Sword, paired with the blade as the most prevailing weapons. The first step is to comprehend the surreal Sword Intent. Within the Sword Path there are three main ways to execute skills and attacks, each one being more powerful than the last.
In the first realm one uses their body's strength to attack, in the second realm one uses their Qi to attack, and in the last realm one uses their Sword Intent to attack.
Sword Intent is a sword artist's main and most desirable skill. Only a few people are able to comprehend sword intent. In earlies cultivation Realms the Sword Intent is feared for its offensive power.
This advantage in brutal offensive power decreases as one advances in cultivation, and can in the later stages be equaled by other paths.
For Sword Intent to form a Sword Soul, it needs an attribute, an element. This can be superior ones like Immortality, Destruction or Slaughter. The superior ones, compared to ordinary attributes, can be one half to one whole stage above the realm they're currently at.
Shiva finally found a five branches thick enough, carved it into a Chouto, Katana, Kodachi, Nodachi, and a Tachi, then left to find someplace to practice.
Shiva sat down on a small, flat cliff not too far away from his cave and began reading and performing the stances and katas for the swords.
These stances and katas includes, Unsheathe quickly, Slash downwards, slice right-cross, Re-sheathe. Over and over again, did he perform these actions.

Hours Later
Shiva's sword movement's start to look and feel more fluent. The unsheathing, although it isn't invisible to the naked eye, it's still fast for a five year old. A faint silver glow emitted from the wooden Tachi, but then it vanished
