You also need to have talent in this area. After three years, you might be able to cultivate a trace of spirituality.
After that, if you want your sword to follow your will like your own arm, to move as your mind commands, you'll need to spend over ten years on it.
If you want to reach the point where, with just a thought, your sword enters the Blue Abyss and kills enemies a hundred miles away—that's two or three decades of work, no matter how much you Krypton Gold, no matter how much talent you have, don't even think about it.
To be able to achieve all of this, you need to be able to endure, have patience, stay humble and composed, have deep family resources, and possess extremely high talent in the Sword Path.
If you're not from a major mountain sect, you simply don't have the conditions for this—you can't keep someone free from other responsibilities, doing this for ten years straight.
But as long as you reach the day you can send your sword out, you'll really be formidable.
