When he initially fully grasped the Sword Intention, he manipulated the sword with his intention, achieving a unity of man and sword.
Unintentionally, he integrated martial arts and Daoism into his control of the Instrument Control Skill.
This made it so that whether he was performing the Daoism or the ordinary sword skill with his big ice blade, he could command it as easily as he could his own limbs.
The spiritual energy consumption greatly reduced, and its power greatly increased.
Now, after pondering over this for some time, Chen Dengming vaguely had some new insights.
He once believed that the reason martial arts could not tap into nature’s spiritual energy was due to its inability to form a ‘password’ that resonates with nature’s spiritual energy, similar to Daoism.
...
For a long period, he was looking for this password.
Until recently, he has found some clues.
He guessed that the ‘password’ for martial arts to resonate with nature’s spiritual energy would be ‘Unity of Heaven and Man’s state of mind or the thought of ‘Hold to the Void and persist.’
However, though he made these guesses, he needed to try step by step to figure out the specifics.
For now, he could only, with his understanding of Sword Intention, enter the state of merging of man and sword, briefly touch ‘Unity of Heaven and Man,’ stir the resonance of nature’s spiritual energy, so that the Sword Dao when applied could significantly enhance its power and decrease the consumption of spiritual energy.
As for other martial arts techniques, no matter how he tried, he couldn’t find that subtle ‘feeling.’
Chen Dengming guessed that if he could accurately grasp this subtle ‘feeling’, he would be able to manipulate spiritual energy using martial arts.
The Chen Clan Martial Arts Guidelines would again make a breakthrough, and he would transition from being a martial artist to a Daoist, tremendously increasing his combat power.
“I have a deep understanding of the Sword Dao, only recently grasped Sword Intention.
Then, using my understanding of Sword Intention and insights on Control device tactics, when combined, could manipulate nature’s spiritual energy with the Sword Dao…”
“Could it be that if other martial arts intend to manipulate the resonance of nature’s spiritual energy, they also need to find a corresponding Daoist technique to enlighten themselves?”
With this intriguing thought, Chen Dengming couldn’t help but chant this insight as a cultivation technique mantra.
The spiritual energy in his body also began to surge.
“When man and heaven unify, the heart guides the true way; all laws become nothing, the source naturally flows.
If I sincerely seek liberation within, how do I break free from karma…”
After this insight mantra was chanted, Chen Dengming felt like he grasped something, yet he also couldn’t figure it out.
He suddenly roared like a dragon.
The roar seemed to last forever, his eyes were radiant and sparkling, and his whole body was surrounded by surging spiritual might.
The spiritual energy within his body was threatening to burst out following the route of Innate Gang Qi, causing the spiritual energy in the surrounding air to slightly tremble.
“Swish, swish-”
The water flow in the river was also shaking violently.
After a while, the spiritual energy in the air calmed down, and Chen Dengming frowned, ending his cultivation.
Although he had just barely grasped the feeling of inviting the resonance of nature’s spiritual energy by achieving unity of man and heaven, it wasn’t strong enough.
This attempt wasn’t very effective.
Even with spiritual energy demonstrating Innate Gang Qi martial arts, the power was not great.
Not to mention the heavy consumption of spiritual energy, it didn’t serve any purpose.
However, since he was able to slightly manipulate nature’s spiritual energy just now, it’s proof that the things he had figured out during this time were somewhat useful.
In Daoism, when learning some spells, one needs to chant mantras.
By coordinating them with gestures, one’s spiritual energy manipulates nature’s spiritual energy, hence carrying out the spell.
If martial arts could also follow this path, it would be another pathway to become a Martial Immortal.
…
He tried again for a while, deliberately slowing down the pace of his gestures, chanting mantras, and performing the Golden Spear Skill.
Between the chanting of the obscure mantra, his intention subtly resonated with nature’s spiritual energy.
Combined with the gestures of his body’s spiritual energy floating, it seemed to form an invisible thread, hardly visible to the naked eye, pulling the golden spiritual energy from all around in the air swiftly towards him.
At the place he pointed, where his intention was fixed, it quickly condensed.
The sharp Geng Metal Qi quickly condensed into a golden spear, suddenly taking form, the surface covered in spiritual fog, while its core was full of surging spiritual energy, it slowly rotated in front of him.
The deep insights he gained by deliberately slowing down the process of performing the spell made him feel profound.
It seemed that the process of manipulating nature’s spiritual energy still involved a ‘password.’
The mantra and gestures are passwords.
The unity of heaven and man in martial arts might be another password, but this password is not correctly arranged, which requires exploring and finding the correct arrangement.
‘Swoosh’
At this moment, a strange change in the water flow came from not far away in the dirty water, interrupting Chen Dengming’s thoughts.
Always close to the mindset of ‘Hold to the Void and persist,’ Chen Dengming caught a trace of Evil Qi revealed from the water.

“Demonic beasts in the water?!”
The Mini Array Spirit also warned from behind his waist, “Dao friend, it, it seems to be preparing to sneak attack you, be, be careful…”
The Mini Array Spirit had just witnessed Chen Dengming causing a surge in spiritual energy all around him with his own strength.
His awe-inspiring power made her mind fluctuate uncontrollably, and her voice stuttered.
Almost at this moment, the tide swiftly outrageously surged from behind, wave after wave, pounding him.
With a ‘boom,’ the wave broke open, a strong Evil Qi accompanied a shadow covered in blue scales, suddenly striking towards Chen Dengming’s back.
From the intensity of this Evil Qi, Chen Dengming understood insightfully.
He shot the golden spear casually.
The monstrous fish immediately shot out a water jet, causing the golden spear to simultaneously explode and turn into a cloud of water vapor.
“A Demonic Beast with the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Cultivation…”
Chen Dengming didn’t even turn around.
The muscles on his back bulged.
The Ice Spirit Sword popped out with a sound, turning into a cold ray of light, darting into the gap between the claws of the attacking water monster.
