Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao



================¶¶==================

Arthur entered his cultivation cave, his footsteps echoing through the serene atmosphere. He made his way to the secluded corner where Balor had been diligently cultivating.

Upon arriving before the cultivation chamber, he found the door to Balor's meditation room shut. Without hesitation, Arthur utilized his teleportation ability, instantly appearing inside the room.

There, he found Balor in a deep meditative state, completely immersed in absorbing essence energy.

"Hmm, he has made good progress..." Arthur commented.

Balor who was previously at the 7th level of the Gold Core Realm had already reached the very peak of the Gold Core Realm in just a week's time.

This was a remarkable achievement. Arthur observed his loyal disciple with a sense of pride. Balor seemed undisturbed by Arthur's presence, his spiritual senses focused solely on his cultivation.

Arthur decided not to disturb Balor and patiently waited for him to awaken. Three hours later, Balor's eyes slowly opened, and he was taken aback to find Arthur standing before him.

Balor immediately rose from his seated position and greeted his Master with excitement and reverence.

"Master, I didn't sense your arrival. Please forgive me for not being aware of your presence," Balor said, his voice filled with genuine surprise and respect.

Arthur smiled warmly at Balor's earnestness. "No need to apologize, Balor. Your cultivation progress is impressive, reaching the peak of the Gold Core realm in such a short time. I am proud of your dedication."

Balor's face lit up with pride and gratitude at Arthur's praise. He was grateful for the guidance and opportunities his Master had provided him. He knew that with just his talent and meager resources it will take him at least more than half a year to reach the peak of his current cultivation level.

Arthur's expression turned serious as he continued, "Balor, I have a new cultivation technique that I believe will greatly enhance your abilities. You have been cultivating the Earth Profound Sword Technique, a watered-down version of the Heavenly Sword Technique of the sect."

"As my disciple and my very first one no less, I can't have you cultivation such low technique. I will give you a much better one. Even more higher ranked than the Heavenly Sword Technique."

Balor's eyes widened with anticipation and curiosity. He had heard rumors of the Heavenly Sword Technique, a legendary cultivation method renowned for its unparalleled power, and yet here is his Master saying he has a better sword cultivation manual.

If he heard this previously he would have doubted but not now when he had seen what Arthur can really do and he has yet to see it all.

"Really, Master? Thank you for this privilege Master," Balor bowed with a grateful smile.

"It's alright, this is my duty as your Master," Arthur replied dismissively.

"This technique is called the Overlord Sword Technique and is one of the finest sword techniques in my arsenal. It is a perfectly complete cultivation technique that will change all of your essence energy into sword essence energy. With it, you will be able to transcend mortal boundaries and reach the immortal realms and beyond."

Balor listened closely as Arthur continued, "The Overlord Sword Technique will guide you in refining your essence energy, transforming it into the purest form of sword essence. This will grant you unparalleled control and mastery over the sword, elevating your combat prowess to new heights."

Balor's heart raced with anticipation, his determination shining in his eyes. He knew that this was an incredible opportunity that would shape his future.

Arthur reached out his hand, a radiant symbol glowing in his palm. "I will imprint the Overlord Sword Technique into your mind. It will be assimilated into your consciousness, allowing you to learn and practice it at your own pace."

Balor stood still, and Arthur tapped his forehead with the symbol on it and symbol gently merged with his consciousness, transferring the profound knowledge of the Overlord Sword Technique.

As he absorbed the essence of the technique, Balors also comprehended the beginning levels of his this cultivation method. And just this comprehension had elevated his understanding and mastery of the sword.

Balor marveled at the newfound connection with his sword, feeling a profound unity between his being and the weapon.

The Overlord Sword Technique had awakened a dormant potential within him, and he vowed to dedicate himself wholeheartedly to its cultivation.

"Master, I am eternally grateful for this opportunity," Balor expressed with heartfelt gratitude. "I will devote myself to mastering the Overlord Sword Technique and unleashing its full potential."

Arthur smiled, pleased with Balor's determination. "I have faith in your abilities, Balor. With the Overlord Sword Technique, you will soar to new heights and become a formidable force within the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Balor felt gratified by Arthur's confidence in him and promised himself to live up to expectations.

Balor nodded, a fire ignited within his eyes. "I will not disappoint you, Master. I will train diligently and strive to become a true sword master, embodying the essence of the Overlord Sword Technique."

Arthur's gaze remained calm and said, "Remember, Balor, true mastery requires patience and perseverance. Take your time to comprehend the intricacies of the technique and let it become an extension of your being."

Balor bowed respectfully. "I understand, Master. I will immerse myself in the practice and cultivation of the Overlord Sword Technique, striving for perfection."

With their conversation concluded, Balor retreated to a training area within the cultivation cave. He sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and use the Overlord Sword Technique for the first time.

The Overlord Sword Technique was a cultivation technique.

Cultivation techniques differ from Martial Arts technique where the former raises a person's cultivation level and the latter embodiment the means of using ones power in different forms to battle, and as such martial arts techniques are also called Battle Techniques.

Balor's essence energy began to gradually transform, taking on the form of sword essence, as he delved into the techniques and principles of the Overlord Sword Technique.

Days turned into weeks, and soon a month has passed by since Arthur's claim and Balor had fully mastered the early stages of the Overlord Sword Technique up to the Gold Core Realm.

Balor's progress was steady but remarkable. With each passing day, his swordsmanship became more refined and his control over the sword essence grew stronger. The Overlord Sword Technique resonated with his soul, guiding him towards an unprecedented level of mastery.

During this time, Arthur guided Balor from time to time and taught him on the Sword Dao which allowed Balor to finally master the 10th level of Sword Intent.

As Arthur would occasionally observe Balor's training sessions, offering guidance and insights when needed. He was pleased to witness Balor's growth and the gradual transformation of his essence energy into the pure essence of the sword.

During this time the sect had been more calmer than usual as everyone was making preparations for the opening of the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm.

Moreover, after the influx of new members to Arthur's faction in the sect when Arthur became a core disciple, there had been no new addition as those who had any intention of joining were waiting till after the Heavenly Sword Secret Realm opens and comes to an end, before making a decision.

Arthur had also been growing in strength and mastery of his powers and he was ready to breakthrough to the Martial King Realm but decided to wait a little bit before pressing forward.

Arthur had also been practicing Alchemy most of the time and his progress had finally left Cora speechless.

"So Cora, what do you think. Have I surpassed him now or what?" Arthur asked the stunned beauty who had her lips slightly parted in shock.

For some reason such a look stirred up his desires but he held back.

'For now...' he smirked inwardly.
