Han Yan practiced the sword technique in her mind over and over again, gradually gaining more insights. Compared to the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword, this sword technique was much more profound and complex, with at least a thousand variations. Although she had Xia Yuanlong's Sword Intent insights, she was barely able to sort out the framework of this sword technique. Fully comprehending those variations seemed impossible.
What surprised her the most was that as her understanding of this sword technique deepened, she astonishingly discovered not only shared the same origin as the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword, but also held a significant restraint over it.
This doesn't mean that simply learning this sword technique would allow one to counter the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword, but that under equal strength, this sword technique was definitely superior to the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword.
