Zhao Yi read through the "Sword-Flying Art" carefully and finally understood that flying on a sword was not actually difficult. There was a specific set of incantations for sword-flying; the spiritual power within one's body would circulate according to the path dictated by the incantations, eventually projecting from the soles of the feet and acting upon the sword to drive it forward. That was basically how sword-flying worked. The key lay entirely in that set of sword-flying incantations.
Sword-flying did not require a vast amount of Spiritual Energy, nor did it require Divine Sense. Even cultivators below the mid Qi Condensation stage could practice it, except that those below the mid-stage possessed too little Spiritual Energy to sustain carrying a person on a flying sword.
Zhao Yi practiced for a while. Given his level of Spiritual Energy, he could only manage a few crooked, unstable laps around the small courtyard before his Dantian was completely drained of Spiritual Energy. No wonder the sect required disciples to reach the late Qi Condensation stage before practicing sword-flying; it made complete sense.
