Chapter 315 - 186: Xu Yan Enters Tong Xuan, Life and Death Sword Wheel_2
They had formed a mysterious state.
As Xu Yan continually achieved breakthroughs, they were also continually entwining and evolving.
At one moment, above his Dantian Qi Sea, it seemed as if a downpour had begun, with droplets continuously falling, as if they wished to fill the Dantian completely.
Splash!
The Dantian Qi Sea turned into an endless ocean, with surging True Yuan creating waves. Above the True Yuan, heavy cloud layers swirled and twisted, forming a vortex.
The vortex continuously dropped raindrops.
These were True Qi that had yet to be refined into True Yuan, and the spiritual energy of nature being poured in.
Xu Yan’s breakthrough was continuing, continually sublimating and evolving.
At one moment, Meng Chong and others who were watching Xu Yan’s breakthrough were momentarily bewildered as if what they had been seeing was not Xu Yan sitting down but a mountain and river.
Also in a daze, the mountain and river were beneath Xu Yan, or perhaps Yan was within the mountain and river.
“What’s happening?”
Su Lingxiu shook her head, and when she looked again, everything was as usual.
Meng Chong fell into contemplation; was this a phenomenal coincidence that occurred during the Great Elder Brother’s ascension and evolution?
Boom!
Suddenly, in mid-air, amongst the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a mountain and river formed, solemnly silent, seemingly filled with destructive intent.
It seemed to harbor a powerful and sharp killing aura.
Any creature that entered the mountain and river would be obliterated within.
Combined with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, mysterious secrets known to earth and heaven!
This was the Tongxuan Realm!
“Our Great Elder Brother has broken through to the Tongxuan Realm.”
Su Lingxiu’s face was filled with excitement and admiration.
When will I be able to breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm? I must work harder in cultivation to strive to reach Tongxuan as soon as possible.
Once I break through the Tongxuan Realm, I should be able to master the art of Alchemy, right?
The image of the mountain and river in mid-air was continuously growing and changing. At one moment within the mountain and river, it seemed that a small vortex appeared, but it didn’t fully form.
Also, it seemed pretty unstable.
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned. Was that the Tai Chi?
Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments lead to four symbols, four symbols give birth to the Eight Diagrams… He had spoken of all of these when teaching Xu Yan the Eight Diagrams.
Now, Xu Yan had some new understandings while breaking through Tongxuan.
But it was just at its initial stage, not yet fully comprehended. However, since he already had a lucid comprehension, it wouldn’t be too long before he truly understood it.
Boom!
In mid-air, the mountain and river continuously collapsed and reformed.
At one point, the image of the mountain and river suddenly fell from mid-air and descended on Xu Yan, slowly seeping into Xu Yan’s body, as though merging with the mountain and river into one.
I am the mountain and river, and the mountain and river are me!
“Your disciple Xu Yan, has cultivated the martial arts you created and has broken through the Tongxuan Realm. Your grandmaster’s Tongxuan realm has been completed, and the power is a hundred times that of the same realm.”
A golden light emerged, and Xu Yan had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm.
Li Xuan broke into a smile; his own strength had increased explosively. Even if a true celestial martial artist were to descend, he could easily obliterate them, right?
The feeling of increasing one’s strength was the greatest joy in the world.
“Your disciple Xu Yan, has broken through the Tongxuan Realm, evolving into a Mountain-River Spiritual Body; you have obtained an Innate Mountain-River Spiritual Body.”
The gold light came forth again.
As expected, when Xu Yan broke through to the Tongxuan Realm, he ascended and evolved his own body into a Mountain-River Spiritual Body.
Now, Xu Yan, with his Dragon Ascension Mountain-River Bone and Mountain- River Spiritual Body, had his strength and foundation further enhanced. Even if he faced a half-step celestial martial artist, although he could not kill them with one or two sword strikes, defeating a half-step celestial had become no problem at all.
” He truly is my pioneering Martial Artist.”
Li Xuan was filled with contentment.
He felt that the most correct thing he had done in his two lives was taking Xu Yan as his disciple.
Xu Yan had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm, thus it was about time to prepare the realm and cultivation techniques above Tongxuan to pass onto him.
“When Meng Chong breaks through, he should also be able to ascend and evolve, right? Even though the “Sun Golden Body” is already very strong, if it can further evolve into a Spiritual Body, then the “Sun Golden Body” will become even stronger.”
Li Xuan anticipated in his heart.
Meng Chong’s talent was not bad. After Xu Yan’s breakthrough, he would also share his experience, so when Meng Chong breaks through, he might possibly ascend and evolve his own body.
The second level of the Great Solar Golden Body corresponds to the Tongxuan Realm. When you break through, you refine the True Yuan, which already possesses the mystique of the Great Solar Golden Body.
For example, you can transform into a small giant of nine feet tall.
Meng Chong has already reached the utmost limit of the Innate Realm; soon, he can reach the perfection of the Innate Realm, and in no time, he will be able to break through to the Tongxuan Realm.
The Tianxiu Realm is not quite compatible with the natural spiritual energy of a physical Martial Artist. Yet it can absorb such energy into the body and transform it, such as into the form of a small nine-foot giant.
The power it delivers is ferociously relentless.
Once again, golden light emerged, bringing great joy to Li Xuan’s heart. Xu Yan’s breakthrough into the Tongxuan Realm brought substantial gains indeed.
“Your disciple Xu Yan derived the preliminaries of the Cycle of Life and Death Sword from your Tai Chi teachings. Your Cycle of Life and Death Sword is now complete.”
A Cycle of Life and Death Sword!
This is a new Sword Dao that Xu Yan comprehended after the River Mountain Sword Dao.
Li Xuan was shaken after he obtained the Cycle of Life and Death Sword. This Sword Dao is way too powerful. If combined with the River Mountain Sword Dao, it essentially becomes a path of unstoppable annihilation.
In an instant, two sword lights appeared before Li Xuan. They twisted and rotated, separating and intertwining at times. As the wheel of the sword spun, it alternated between life and death.
The Sword of Life defends, the Sword of Death attacks; but the Sword of Life and Death can change in a flash. One moment it might be the Sword of Life, the next moment it could turn into the Sword of Death.
It cycles endlessly, with unpredictable changes, making it virtually impossible to defend against!
“The Sword Dao has become stronger. With this Cycle of Life and Death Sword, slaying a half-step Celestial Being wouldn’t be too hard!”
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment.
If Xu Yan masters the Cycle of Life and Death Sword, even slaying a half-step Celestial Being would not be too hard for him, even at the entry-level of the Tongxuan Realm.
Of course, at the moment, Xu Yan has only just comprehended the rudimentary form of the Cycle of Life and Death Sword, so its full power isn’t yet unleashed.
However, Li Xuan believes that with Xu Yan’s exceptional talent, it won’t be much longer before he fully masters this Cycle, instead of just its rudimentary form.
“This Cycle of Life and Death Sword is just a foundation; it can be continually understood and improved upon. Consider this the first level of the Cycle of Life and Death Sword.”
Li Xuan mumbled to himself.
The Cycle of Life and Death Sword is a mysterious and unfathomable Sword Dao. In Li Xuan’s view, this is just the first level, but as Xu Yan continues to comprehend, there will inevitably be a second level, a third level…
The Cycle of Life and Death Sword will also continue to grow stronger.
Just like the River Mountain Sword Dao, Xu Yan is also constantly refining and improving it.
Just as Li Xuan thought that the feedback from Xu Yan’s breakthrough into the Tongxuan Realm would conclude at this point.
The golden light appeared again.
“Your disciple Xu Yan has comprehended the fourth level of the Descending Dragon Palm, and now your Descending Dragon Palm also has reached the fourth level.”
LiXuan:!!!
This disciple is truly a freak of nature. He even managed to decipher the fourth level of the Descending Dragon Palm. If there’s a fourth level, the fifth, the sixth, and others would not be surprising in the future.
“His strength has markedly increased in a short time.”
Li Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
Pushing his disciple to train and interpret martial arts is the proper path. He doesn’t even need to train hard himself, just lay back and become stronger. This feeling is too exhilarating.
Xu Yan broke through to the Tongxuan Realm, he was consolidating and pondering the new realm after the breakthrough, he didn’t return from the top of the mountain yet.
Meng Chong also didn’t come back, he was preparing to break through to the perfection of the Innate Realm.
Su Lingxiu and others have returned.
Xu Junhe was so delighted that he couldn’t stop smiling; his precious son had become stronger again. Like the scene where several pinnacle Great Grandmasters had surrounded them before, now, his son could also sweep across undefeated.
Su Lingxiu was inspired and started to train diligently, striving to break through to the Tongxuan Realm as soon as possible.
Shi’er and Zhou Ying, their blood boiling with passion, yearned for the Tongxuan Realm and began training day and night relentlessly.
Zhou Ying has already reached the peak of Qi and Blood, but she feels that she has not yet perfected the opportunity to break through to the Innate Realm, so she is still building up her foundation.
She doesn’t want to be a weak Innate after the breakthrough due to insufficient accumulation.
Shi’er has also reached the final stage of Qi and Blood, but he feels that his foundation to enter the Innate Realm is even weaker, his realm seems unreal, so he is training himself furiously.
Although he can break through to the Innate Realm now, since he has the help of medicinal pills for the breakthrough, after the breakthrough, he would be a weak Innate and would be beaten by Zhou Ying.
He was unhappy with that, so to train himself, he gritted his teeth and went to Red Cat for training.
The result was he got slapped away by Red Cat, breaking a rib!
When Su Lingxiu was treating him, she had a strange look on her face. It always seemed to her that Red Cat did it deliberately, as if to retaliate for the time when Shi’er had whipped it?
It appeared that Shi’er’s method of instilling into Red Cat that it was “for its own good” wasn’t very effective.
It seems that Red Cat took the opportunity to exact revenge!
