Chapter 433: Chapter 242: Xu Yan Breaks Through Heart Sword Realm_1
Li Xuan is sipping the spiritual tea that Xu Yan plundered from the Dai Family. He feels invigorated after drinking it.
No wonder the Dai Family treasures this spiritual tea in their treasury, it is of high quality and nurtures the divine soul.
Even though the effect is minimal, it rejuvenates the drinker.
If a Great Grandmaster drinks this tea, they would slowly break through the half-step realm to the spiritual gathering stage.
Xu Yan is sitting at the top of the mountain, deepening his martial arts. His strength is increasing daily, and at certain moments, his environment seems to be filled with glimmers of sword light.
The glimmers of sword light are arranged in some sort of pattern or sequence.
Li Xuan is secretly delighted, “Is Xu Yan on the verge of comprehending a sword array?”
If the demonic Xu Yan manages to decipher a sword array from the array diagram, Li Xuan would not be overly surprised.
Su Lingxiu begins to produce elixirs. The elixirs needed for Xu Junhe, Shi’er, Zhou Ying, and Meng Shushu to breakthrough into the Tongxuan Realm are mainly refined from third-grade spiritual medicines.
Kou Ruozhi has also recently achieved a complete breakthrough in the Innate Realm.
However, he is still somewhat away from the Tongxuan Realm and needs more time to cultivate.
Among the apprentices in alchemy, two have already broken through to the Innate Realm.
The rest are all at the peak level of vitality.
The cultivation progress isn’t slow, considering that they are using elixirs as aids.
Among the martial arts scholars, there are also those preparing to break through into the Tongxuan Realm.
Canglan Island’s strength is rapidly improving, with the exception of Mother Xu.
Li Xuan is pondering over the laws of heaven and earth on the third page of the Tai Cang Book, while exploring the martial arts realms beyond the Divine Skill Realm.
“After cultivating divine skills and creating a Primordial Spirit, divine skills are born. Beyond Divine Skills, lies the understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth, the great power of heaven and earth. How can I use the laws of Heaven and Earth and harness the big power of Heaven and Earth?”
Li Xuan is lost in deep thought.
“Martial Arts should transcend the constraints of heaven and earth. Although it uses the laws and power of heaven and earth, it must not be bound by these laws.
“Be able to use the law, but not be limited by the law.”
Li Xuan has some ideas.
The state above divine skills is gradually becoming clear.
Time passes quietly.
Meng Chong’s foundational strength is not far from perfection, which also means that his breakthrough into the Indestructible Golden Body of the Big Day is approaching.
The same is true for Su Lingxiu.
Zi Yun has already surpassed the realm of the Great Grandmaster. Instead of embarking on further breakthroughs, she occasionally seeks Meng Chong’s advice on martial arts.
Despite their different martial arts paths, Meng Chong effortlessly provides guidance.
Yu Xiaolong has finally started to interact with the Red Cat, intending to learn its demon techniques. To this end, it has started to try to appeal to Mother Xu, although she doesn’t seem to like snakes much.
However, because it’s her son’s pet snake, she reluctantly allows Red Cat and Yu Xiaolong to interact.
On the peak of Canglan Island, Xu Yan is sitting quietly, seeming to have become one with heaven and earth, even his physical form is changing.
His light-concealing technique has improved further, so even when he changes his appearance, no one can tell.
“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has mastered the light-concealing technique, elevating it to the realm of True Form Technique.”
The Daoist Golden Book opens, golden light emanating from it.
True Form Technique, everything is real!
Li Xuan sighed in admiration. This True Form Technique is truly powerful. If one’s aura merges with a stone, one becomes a stone, as real as it can be.
Even a Refining God Heavenly Man, or an even stronger martial artist, could not notice anything, nor decipher any differences.
Xu Yan continues to immerse himself in cultivation. Sword Intent appears around his body, putting him into a mysterious state.
One day, while Li Xuan was memorizing the laws of heaven and earth on the third page of the Tai Cang Book, intending to write it into the Daoist Golden Book as a reference for his future martial arts creations, he suddenly looked up at the peak of the mountain.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xu Yan was about to have a breakthrough in his Sword Dao.
Meng Chong, who was perfecting his foundational strength, suddenly looked at the peak in surprise, at the place where the senior brother was.
Su Lingxiu also looked up in response.
Gradually, everyone on Canglan Island looked towards the peak. Some were surprised, while others were confused.
“When did the mountain top get a sword?”
“I remember there being a tree there, right?”Someone asked in confusion.
“Shi’er, do you see that as a sword?”
Zhou Ying looked at the peak with furrowed brows and asked.
She recalled something like a big tree being there, right?
“Yes, it’s a sword. It might have been put up recently?”
Shi’er nodded, but doubt lingered.
Why would someone erect a sword there?
The weaker one’s strength, the more likely they are to see it as a sword!
But in Meng Chong’s eyes, it was both a tree and a sword!
The Sword Intent was crystallized within, releasing a fierce sword light, yet it was a big tree!
In that moment, Meng Chong had a revelation.
“Has Brother mastered the Heart Sword Realm? Is this the Heart Sword Realm? Everything in the world can be a sword, if there’s a mountain, the mountain is a sword, if there’s a river, the river is a sword… The second realm of the Dao, the Hidden Sword Realm, shares similarities with the Heart Sword Realm; the sword is hidden in heaven and earth, where in heaven and earth is not a sword? What in heaven and earth could not be a sword…”
As Meng Chong observed the tree, his mind was filled with sudden inspirations, and comprehensions surfaced. At this moment, his sword spirit reached perfection, and he had a hint of how to cultivate and comprehend the Hidden Sword Realm.
“Your disciple, Meng Chong, has perfected the sword spirit, and comprehended the direction to cultivate the Hidden Sword Realm, you breakthrough to the Hidden Sword Realm.”
Li Xuan glanced up at Meng Chong with a delighted heart.
“So this is the Hidden Sword Realm.”
The sword intent is concealed, the sword edge is not revealed, motion creates a cleave that can split heaven and earth!
