Sword Dao[]
| Brightmoon Sword Art | First Created | Supreme Dao's | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chapter | Book | Description | Chapter | Book | Description | |
| Soleheart Stance | 602 | B19, C39 | It represented the most profound insights Ning had gained in defensive sword-arts. When his sword struck out, it was as though a black hole had formed that would absorb and trap the enemy’s strength. | 961 | B28, C29 | Originally, Ning could only transform both of his swords into black holes, but after gaining further insight and realizing that he could summon power from every sword and form a single black hole with himself at the center, the Soleheart stance truly evolved into a Supreme Dao of Defense. It's purpose is to absorb and ablate the power of incoming attacks. On rare occasion, however, Ning has used the power of the black holes to grind lesser foes into dust. |
| Blood Drop Stance | 604 | B19, C41 | The Blood Drop stance…the fastest, most savage, most penetrating sword-stance of the five. | 936 | B28, C4 | Once a piercing stab, after Ning found inspiration in a mortal (and future disciple) in another world, it transformed into a Supreme Dao with a drill-like effect that could completely penetrate spacetime. |
| Heavenbreaker Stance | The Heavenbreaker stance involved changing the sword to make it heavier, then using that weight to strike! If a sword was ridiculously heavy, it would become very slow…but if a sword was too light, there would be limits on how fast it could be. To reach the fastest speed possible, one had to find the perfect weight for a particular cultivator, based on his or her actual strength.
The Heavenbreaker stance was very fast, but it also contained tremendous force. It was capable of splitting apart Heaven and Earth. A brute force stance. Ning can channel his divine power into his swords, increasing their mass and power, allowing him to deliver a fierce strike that can completely annihilate both his surroundings and his enemies. |
965 | B28, C33 | The Heavenbreaker stance… if you wanted to release the full, terrifying level of power it contained, you would need to first build up power! For example, in archery you would build up power by drawing your bow… and then let it explode forth with its full might, like a volcano erupting! Only by building up enough might would you be able to unleash the full power of your attack! But just as importantly, the moment you unleashed your power had to be fast, fierce, and compressed into a short instant. | ||
| Yin-Yang Stance | Yin-Yang stance…a defensive sword-stance to be used when faced with countless simultaneous attacks.
Ning's Yin-Yang stance is suited for facing multiple opponents. |
925 | B27, C22 | During the Silvercloud World trial, Ning evolved the Yin-Yang stance into the Yin-Yang Sword Domain, which allowed him to summon a domain that can be created from multiple sources; sword-light, lightning and water, lumisword godwings, and the grand diffraction sword-art. It can also be combined with Ning's heartworld. When using the LSG, GDS, and Heartworld together with the Yin-Yang Stance it becomes the Yin-Yang Chaosworld Domain, using this technique Ji Ning is able to completely suppress spacetime within the Chaosworld domain preventing his enemies from fleeing. | ||
| Shadowless Stance | Shadowless stance…the strangest stance, and a very fast one. Its speed was second only to the Blood Drop stance, and it completely surpassed the speed of the other three. The Blood Drop stance, by comparison, was honorable and open, whereas this Shadowless stance was strange and unpredictable. | 958 | B28, C26 | “What does ‘Shadowless’ even mean? It isn’t about borrowing from the power of all things around it; it means to truly become one with all things.
“There’s no way a sword can truly ‘vanish’, but when it becomes one with all things around it will become completely indetectable to any enemies. “When the weather is windy, it can transform into a gust of wind. “When it is bright, it can transform into a streak of light. “When it is in space, it can transform into a spatial ripple. “Every single part of a universe, no matter where, is subject to the influence and power of the prime essences of that universe. If my sword can completely merge into those things, it’ll naturally become truly shadowless and invisible.” | ||

| Advanced (One with the Sword) | ||||
| Thunderflame Sword | Learnt | 15 | B1, C15 | One of the 5 Major Swordsmanship Techniques of the Ji Clan
Only 3 stances have been derived for it:
|
| One with the World | 33 | B2, C15 | ||
| Raindrop Sutra | Learnt | 15 | B1, C15 | One of the 5 Major Swordsmanship Techniques of the Ji Clan
Has 9 Stances:
|
| One with the World | 33 | B2, C15 | ||
| True Meaning of the Raindrop | 54 | B3, C18 | ||
| Longing - Rain Line | Created | 91 | B5, C17 | This technique was one which he had developed thanks to the boundless longing he felt for his mother! It was the longing each drop of rain held for each other drop which allowed them to form a line of rain . . . This technique contained within it a boundless, powerful longing. It was born from the [Raindrop Sutra], but it had left the [Raindrop Sutra] far behind. |
| Thunderflame Sword Addendum | Created | 138 | B6, C38 | This was developed based on my hypotheses regarding the fragments of the [Thunderflame Sword] we possess. It includes some of my own insights regarding swordplay. I was able to create four additional sword techniques, and thus this [Thunderflame Sword Addendum] has a total of seven major sword techniques. |
| Rainwater Sutra | Over the past half year, he had pondered nonstop regarding this. He had summarized all of the insights he had gained regarding the ‘Dao of Rainwater’, then written it all down into this [Rainwater Sutra]. The summarization process had caused Ning to make great strides in further understanding the Dao of Rainwater as well. As the person who had comprehended the Rainwater Sword Domain, the [Rainwater Sutra] he had written contained hundreds of different layers of insight regarding the True Meaning of the Dao. Even his every stroke of the brush had contained sword-intent within. | |||
| Layered Water Falls | Created | 149 | B7, C11 | Instantly, one layer after another of incomparably sturdy curtains of water began to condense. In fact, he had focused on developing this ‘Layered Watered Walls’ technique, and in terms of intricacy, it was nearly comparable to the ‘Rain Line’ technique, except it was meant to pressure and bind his foes. |
| Lesser Five Elements Sword | Obtained | 165 | B7, C27 | The [Lesser Five Elements Sword] is also one of the top five sword techniques of our Black-White College, and it is unfathomably deep and profound, allowing one to start at a basic level but progressively comprehend more. It is very suitable for someone who wishes to focus on the Dao of the sword.

| Three-Foot Sword | Obtained | 161 | B7, C23 | According to the legends, it has a total of nine stances; the first six stances are recorded in the secret annals of our Black-White College, but the final three stances…they were what Immortal Northwalker truly relied on when he roamed the world and dominated it with invincibility. |
| 1st Stance - Lustrous Sword-Heart | 177 | B7, C39 | After your sword-heart becomes lustrous and bright, you will be able to see the true path a Sword Immortal must follow. | |
| 2nd Stance - Manifold Thistlethorns | 185 | B8, C6 | ||
| 3rd Stance - Sudden Sword-Light | 230 | B9, C17 | Calmly, he struck out with the sword, almost as though he were painting something. The sword danced in his hands, just like the brush of a master painter on a canvas; it was a very natural, relaxed movement of the sword.
“Swish!” The sword of elemental ki flashed outwards, and a faint sword tip suddenly appeared, leaving behind a sword-scar in the skies that could be seen with the visible eye, as though a painter’s brush had left behind visible markings. | |
| 4th Stance - Sun in the Sky | 248 | B9, C35 | Comparable to the might of a Dao Path | |

| 11th Stance - Dragons Warring in the Wild | 525 | B18, C18 | ||

The skies suddenly turned dark. Streaks of of rainbow-colored sword-light began to manifest in the area, and in just an instant the entire region seemed to have transformed into a world of rainbow-colored swordlight. This was a world of the sword.
The brilliant rainbow-colored swordlight filling the area instantly began to merge together, forming a sight that looked like flower buds blooming or like a peacock displaying its feathers. Whooooooosh. The sword-light radiated an arcane intent as it swept forward, and the countless streaks of rainbow sword-light solidified into a total of 1001 peacock feathers, so dazzling and beautiful that one couldn’t help but feel intoxicated by them. |
| 3rd Stance - Heavenly Swords Descend | 713 | B22, C21 | 1st, 4th-7th Stances remain unknown | |
| Heartsword | 1st Stance - Heartsword
(Supreme Class Elder God) |
754 | B23, C33 |
A sword stance about truly understanding "how to use and control the sword." "It taught the wielder how to become the true master of his sword, allowing him to truly unleash the appropriate amount of power with every single strike."
|
| 2nd Stance - Killsword
(Transcendent Class Elder God) |
789 | B24, C33 | The essence of the Killsword stance was to be vicious to the enemy and merciless to the self. It ignored all defense and held nothing back. | |
| 3rd Stance - Great Firmament
(Ordinary Class World Level) |
849 | B26, C4 | It allowed the user to create a world unto itself. In truth, this was the upgrade version of the Heartsword stance. It perfected the technique, giving it even more perfect defensive powers and making its attacks even tighter | |
| 4th Stance - Horizon's Edge
(Elite Class World Level) |
850 | B26, C5 | The Horizon’s Edge technique could be summarized in one word – fast! As soon as the sword struck, it would instantly be able to reach the very edges of the horizon! This is what was meant by the name, ‘Horizon’s Edge’ | |
| 5th Stance - Silent World
(Master Class World Level) |
884 | B26, C39 | It could be described with one word – savage | |
| 6th Stance - Unicorn's Heart
(Supreme Class World God) |
885 | B26, C40 | This represented an evolutionary transformation of the Great Firmament stance. It was much brighter than the Heartsword stance; the Heartsword stance only gave absolute control over the sword, whereas the Unicorn’s Heart was able to produce all sorts of marvelous effects. It could easily block, deflect, and redirect attacks. It could also kill foes. | |
| 7th Stance - Cosmic Heart
(Transcendent Class World God) |
916 | B27, C13 | The tough part of the Cosmic Heart stance lay in how ephemeral and unpredictable it was. One had to follow one’s own heart, allowing one’s heartforce to perfectly merge into one’s sword-stances. | |
| 8th Stance - Ineffable

The essence of this stance is, in addition to stance 9 feel incomparable amounts of resolve and determination allowing heartforce to be more perfectly woven into one sword arts. Ones heartforce will move in a more natural manner and have a higher level of harmony thus increasing ones power by a full 100%. This is reflected in the heartforce shroud solidifying. | |
| 11th Stance - Teardrop
(2nd Tier Difficulty) |
1184 | B35, C19 | Mist condenses into a layer of water that looks like a sword of absolute beauty. It increases ones power by a factor of 3 (300%) compared to "normal" and speed by an unspecified amount. | |
| 12th Stance - Stormtide
(2nd Tier Difficulty) |
1189 | B36, C4 | Increases ones power by a factor of 6, aka 600% compared to "normal" attacks. | |

| 14th Stance - Remorseless Unto Death
(3rd Tier Difficulty) |
An ephemeral transcendent sword art. Produces nigh-invisible sword light with vauge unblockable traces while the sword itself almost vanishes. Those traces while few are enough to inspire utter terror in anyone. | |||
| 15th Stance - One Sword, One World
(4th Tier Difficulty) |
1287 | B38, C42 | Represents perfection of ones Sword heart and specifically Emperor Heartsword's path to it. Beautiful and transcendent, ones sword light simply flies in a natural manner illuminating everything with it's brilliance.

| 3rd Stance - Astral | 886 | B26, C41 | Supreme Class World Level Sword Stance | |
| Unicorn's Domain | Created | 890 | B26, C45 | Fusion of 6th Stance of the [Heartsword] Sword Art and the 3rd stance of the [Quintessence Sword-Intent]. It represented a type of domain that was even more profound than the Unicorn’s Heart. Ning had used the essence of the Unicorn’s Heart and fused it with the even more powerful Astral stance to create this domain, his Unicorn’s Domain |
| Heartseal Sword Art | Obtained | 914 | B27, C11 |
Before Emperor Mirrorsnow succeeded in his Daomerge, he obtained an Eternal sword-art known as the [Heartseal] sword-art. This sword-art has a total of fifteen stances. Ji Ning acquired this sword art from Emperor Mirrorsnow after becoming his disciple. |
| 1st Stance - Flysword | 916 | B27, C13 | ||
| 2nd Stance - Mountainsword | ||||
| 7th Stance - Reincarnation | ||||
| 15th Stance - Heartseal | ||||

This means that anyone who is a Hegemon or below will be instantly killed without Ji Ning having to use any sort of divine power or immortal energy. |
Divine Abilities[]

| Windwing Evasion | Obtained Learnt |
27 42 |
B2, C9 B3, C6 |
Yuchi Clan |
| Starseizing Hand | Obtained | 132 | B6, C32 | Starseizing Hand is a divine ability that had been left by the 1st owner and creator of the Aquatic Mansion “Starseizing Manor” Daoist Threelives, who was one of the great ancient powers of the Three Realms.
|
| 1st Cycle | The [Starseizing Hand] was used to make one’s hands even more terrifyingly powerful than magic items. Zifu Disciples can train in it. | |||
| 2nd Cycle | 304 | B11, C23 | The Second Cycle of the [Starseizing Hand] made one’s hands comparable to Immortal-ranked magic treasures. Wanxiang Adepts can train in it. | |
| 3rd Cycle | 427 (First Comfirmed) | B15, C4 | The Third Cycle, Pure Yang magic treasures. Primal Daoists can train in it. | |
| 4th Cycle | 439 | B15, C16 | The Fourth Cycle, supreme Pure Yang magic treasures or middle-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasures. Void Gods can train in it. | |
| 5th Cycle | 571 | B19, C8 | The Fifth Cycle, supreme Protocosmic spirit-treasures. Empyrean Gods can train in it. | |
| 6th Cycle | 728 | B23, C7 | The Godking had already reached the Sixth Cycle of his [Starseizing Hand]; his hand was far more powerful than any Protocosmic spirit-treasures. They had already reached the legendary Chaos treasure level! True Gods can train in it. | |
| 7th Cycle | 818 | B25, C13 | The Seventh Cycle, comparable to Dao Weapons. Elder Gods can train in it. | |
| Heavenly Transformation | Obtained | 187 | B8, C8 | Ning’s eyes were filled with coldness. He wielded two of the Darknorth swords, and while flying in midair, his body became covered with crimson light. His body was quickly increasing in size. This was a ‘magnified’ Ji Ning! |
| Three Heads, Six Arms | 271 | B10, C19 | The reason why [Three Heads, Six Arms] was so powerful was because the heads and arms it generated were absolutely real, allowing one’s power to truly rise exponentially! | |
| Pentabolt Vajra | Pentabolt Vajra]… to bathe in thunder and lightning and form a vajra-like body. Only after five baptisms by five types of lightning can one be said to have mastered it. But the fifth one requires one to be at the Empyrean God level before training in it. | |||
| Divine Thunderbolt Eye | 305 | B11, C24 | ||
| Eye of the Luminous Heart | ||||
| Torch Dragon’s Eye | First Stage Obtained | 351 | B12, C34 | The [Torch Dragon’s Eye], in short, relied on harvesting the light of the Nine Heavens and focusing it in the eye, and then cultivating a so-called ‘innate torch-light’. The complete version is True God level. |
| Complete Version Obtained | 393 | B13, C36 | ||
| Eight-Nine Arcane Art | Obtained | 385 | B13, C28 | The [Eight-Nine Arcane Art] was the [Seventy-Two Transformations]. As noted, the term ‘seventy-two’ came from the term ‘eight-nine’; in reality, the number of transformations it allowed was limitless. Rocks, trees, flowers, plants, animals…even humans, monsters, and Fiendgods! Anything that existed in the Three Realms, one could transform into. Even the aura would become absolutely identical.
Even those more powerful than the user would find it difficult to see through the transformation. Only those who specialized in extremely powerful ‘god-eye’ techniques or other special techniques, when actively using those techniques, would be able to see the truth! If they didn’t actively use the special techniques, however, even they would be unable to realize that the tree before them was actually someone else transformed. |
| 1st Cycle | 387 | B13, C30 | At the Primal level, you can train in the First, Second, and Third Cycles.
| |
| 2nd Cycle | ||||

| |
| 8th Cycle | ||||
| 9th Cycle | ||||
| Houyi's Archery | Obtained | 392 | B13, C35 | According to the description of [Houyi’s Archery], if it was truly trained to the limit, to the level of the mighty primordial divinity Houyi who had created this divine ability…the power of the arrows would be truly terrifying, to the point of being above even the Sixth Cycle of the [Starseizing Hand]!
If a True God were to reach the peak of this divine ability, then with a single arrow, the True God would be able to heavily injure or even kill other True Gods! But there was a reason why the complete mastery of [Houyi’s Archery] was so ridiculously powerful. Number one: The amount of mental energy this supreme archery technique used up was simply enormous. At the level of perfect mastery, even a True God would probably only be able to fire three, four, or five arrows before becoming utterly mentally drained and unable to fire off another arrow. Ning’s [Starseizing Hand], however, could be used continuously without worry of using up any mental power. Number two: This archery technique had extremely high requirements with regards to both the bow and the arrow. Especially the arrow! It must be understood that at full power, [Houyi’s Archery] was mighty enough to annihilate a True God with a single arrow; to be able to compress this much power into a single arrow, the arrow had to be of tremendous quality, as it would otherwise collapse and break apart. Thus, in order to execute this technique, one not only needed a good bow, one also needed some specially-prepared arrows that were incredibly powerful! A superb bow. Superb arrows. And just a few shots before utter exhaustion! Slightly poorer archery arts could allow for a hundred shots, while even poorer archery arts could easily allow for ten thousand shots. This was a testament to how truly draining this supreme archery technique was when it came to the power of the heart. |
| Obscuring Wind of the Nine Heavens | 393 | B13, C36 | Created by Patriarch Subhuti to be specifically designed for Ji Ning
| |
| Ninehorn Lightning Serpent | 608 | B19, C45 | It was incredibly difficult to train in, and in fact it could be said that cultivators had a 90% chance of dying when attempting to train in it. Upon mastering it, however, one would be able to enter the lightning serpent and move far away in a single lightning bolt. The speed of this lightning bolt was just as fast as the speed of light; both had reached the utter limit of speed possible. | |

It creates a ‘sea of diffracted light' which produce energy need for the GDS. The deeper the sea becomes, the more powerful GDS will become. However, to train this technique was extremely difficult, requiring an extremely high level of insight in many different aspects of the Dao of the Sword.

The pair of golden wings were absolutely dazzling but they didn’t emanate any sword-ki at all. Training of LSGW require an extremely high level of insight into the Dao of the Sword. Ning has currently mastered the first two stages. | ||
