Swordsmanship[]
| Name | Novel | Manhwa | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moon's Sword Art | A swordsmanship style created by Blue Spirit. This technique was developed during her first lifetime after being influenced by the Moonlight Crushing Sword techniques of Moonless Void Sword No-Moon Supreme Sword.
By learning this sword style, "Mok Gyeongwoon" was able to enter the Heaven and Earth Society without being killed. Later, as Blue Spirit refined her martial arts based on Moonless Void Sword, some aspects of the technique changed from how it was originally taught. | ||
| Moonless Void Sword Muwolgonggeom |
|||
| Sword Force Of The Demon (魔劍功) |
Mok Gyeongwoon’s unique martial technique that combines swordsmanship and inner qi techniques into a single sword art. He was inspired by the "Moonless Sky Sword" technique demonstrated by an old man he met on a ship and added certain sword moves from Blue Spirit’s unique martial art, the "Moon Sword Form," to create 24 forms. By merging these forms into one, he developed his masterpiece. The intent behind its creation was to meticulously perfect sword movements that realize the most ideal trajectories for utterly annihilating an opponent, aiming to craft nearly flawless techniques. When considering how all forms are consolidated to focus sword intent into a singular point, it becomes evident that it bears similarities to the "Heavenly Demon Sword Art" from Nano Machine. Even executing just the first form is so extraordinarily challenging and powerful that it is nearly impossible to unleash without great skill, making it a peerless sword technique.
Note: At this time, he was called a Sword Force Of The Demon (魔劍功). | ||

| Formless Sword | A realm where one transcends the state of "sword and self as one" (Geoma Ilche, 劍我一體) to reach a level where even energy (ki) itself forms the sword. This is the stage of Mugeom (無劍), the "swordless" realm, where a sword is unnecessary. Though it exists, it has no form—an intangible and formless sword (Muhyeong, 無形).
Gucheonmu, one of the Six Heavens, evaluates it as a realm attainable only by those who have reached true mastery of swordsmanship. It is the result of surpassing the wall on the boundary between life and death, reaching Saengsagyeong (生死境, the state of life and death), and executing the ultimate essence of swordsmanship. Mok Kyung-woon, with his unparalleled abilities, created as many as 30 formless swords and utilized them as barriers, a feat displaying unmatched mastery. | ||

| Heart Sword (Completed) | After merging with Larisha's personality/consciousness, his realm of martial arts surpassed the Natural Realm, allowing him to use the Heart Sword in its full form. | ||
