Chapter 615: Chapter 329: Breakthrough to the Wisdom Sword Realm_2

“`

“It’s not necessarily about relying on a mountain; perhaps one can lean on formations to lay out arrays and condense the laws of heaven and earth.”

Su Lingxiu pondered for a moment and decided to let Fang Hao study how to use formations to condense the laws of heaven and earth.

Outside Evergreen Pavilion, a long line was formed, among which were the proud talents of Great Zhou State, as well as those with extraordinary identities. Naturally, they harbored complaints about being treated so slowly.

But Shi’er and Meng Shushu turned a deaf ear.

Li Xuan continued to immerse himself in the great endeavor of martial arts, and on the Divine Skill Martial Code, another divine skill was added.

The framework of the realm above the Void-breaking Realm became further perfected.

The subsequent cultivation technique for the martial arts of the physical body now had a direction to cultivate in, and one layer had been formulated.

“Your disciple, Xu Yan, has realized the path of cultivation for the Wisdom Sword Realm; you’ve broken through to the Wisdom Sword Realm!”

The Daoist Golden Book opened, and golden light surged out.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but be taken aback, soon followed by excitement.

Such a mystical Wisdom Sword Realm, such a difficult-to-comprehend third realm of swordsmanship, Xu Yan had actually found the direction for cultivation?

At this moment, he broke through to the third realm of swordsmanship, as the profound and even more mystical mood emerged.

“So this is the Wisdom Sword Realm!”

Li Xuan sighed in his heart, truly worthy of being the third realm of swordsmanship he had devised, mysterious and unfathomable.

His cultivation level hadn’t broken through, but as his swordsmanship stepped into the Wisdom Sword Realm, his strength nonetheless saw a tremendous increase!

In the blink of an eye, over the small Star Lake, a water sword condensed into being.

This sword, as if possessing spiritual wisdom, seemed to naturally master the Sword Dao of water.

On the shore of the small Star Lake, an eight or nine-year-old boy was swinging a sword, muttering, “I want to be the next Xu Yan, I also want to be a swordsman powerhouse!”

“Little friend, do you really like the Sword Dao?”

Suddenly, a voice came through.

The little boy looked up and immediately widened his eyes, showing a face full of shock.

Before him, a water sword stood upright, even twisting its blade as if it had a mouth on the hilt that was speaking, “Can you tell me why you like the Sword Dao?”

“Y-you are, what are you?”

The little boy was somewhat startled, yet not scared away by this scene.

“I am the water sword, I master the Sword Dao of water.”

“Then can you teach me?”

“It’s possible, but first, tell me why you like the Sword Dao.”

“My idol is Xu Yan. I want to be like Xu Yan and go challenge the Spirit Sect at their mountain gate in the future!”

The little boy excitedly said.

“Good, good, you have ambition. Hold on to me, I’ll take you to comprehend the Sword Dao.”

The water sword nodded in satisfaction.

The little boy, thrilled beyond measure, went forward and grasped the water sword’s hilt, taking it home with him. However, as soon as the little boy got home, he discovered a battle erupting in his house.

It turned out that the enemies seeking revenge had arrived, and his parents were desperately resisting but were already heavily injured.

“Zhen’er, run away quickly!”

His mother saw him and immediately shouted in panic.

“I won’t run; you all die for me!”

The little boy, holding the water sword, charged at one of the enemies.

“Little friend, follow my feel, I’ll lead you into the world of the Sword Dao.”

The voice of the water sword came through, and at this moment, the little boy’s mind seemed to enter a mysterious mood. It was not he who was wielding the sword, but the sword imparting the Sword Dao to him.

Shhh!

A soft and delicate sword light, like ripples spreading across water, gentle as water, yet contained a fierce lethal force.

In but an instant, all the enemies were slain.

The little boy was immersed in the profound mysteries of the Sword Dao, while his parents were left in stunned disbelief.

“The wonders of the Wisdom Sword, oh.”

Li Xuan sighed to himself in his heart.

He had condensed a water sword and then released it, which led a little boy into the world of the Sword Dao, initiating his talent for swordsmanship.

In a decade or so, this Spiritual Realm would see the rise of a swordsman prodigy.

Li Xuan, in a very good mood, reached out and grasped, and the Power of Domain Laws converged, which he casually refined into a Principle Pill.

“Here, for you!”

He tossed it to Cai Ling’er, who had served up a dish of Spirit Cake.

“Thank you, senior!”

Cai Ling’er, startled at first, was then overwhelmed with excitement, hurriedly catching the Principle Pill and placing it into her Divine Soul. She pondered over it meticulously and slowly refined it.

She felt increasingly wise about her decision; indeed, staying by the side of a great master was the greatest opportunity!

Li Xuan picked up a piece of Spirit Cake and put it in his mouth, nodding, “Tastes good!”

Cai Ling’er, hearing this, was even more resolved to learn several more pastry-making skills. As long as the senior enjoyed it, a casual reward would be a tremendous opportunity.

Cai Ling’er retreated to ponder the Principle Pill in her Divine Soul, while Li Xuan, sipping Spiritual Tea and eating Spirit Cake, continued with his martial arts endeavors.

“`

Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and retracted the formation of the Flying Boat.

“Master, I have returned!”

Outside the Evergreen Pavilion, Meng Chong arrived with Zi Yun, stepping forward with a look of astonishment on his face as he gazed at the Evergreen Pavilion. Was this the Flying Boat his junior brother had refined?

Truly miraculous.

“Zi Yun pays respects to the elder!”

Zi Yun respectfully performed a greeting.

“Hmm.”

Li Xuan nodded, estimating that this girl would likely become his second disciple’s bride.

With a slight gesture of his hand, he infused the Jade Talisman he had previously given to Zi Yun with a strand of Divine Skills.

“Thank you for your generous gift, elder!”

Zi Yun gratefully performed another greeting.

That time she was surrounded and almost killed, had Meng Chong not intervened, she would have had to trigger this Jade Talisman in desperation. However, she was unclear about the might of this talisman; presumably, it could suppress a Divine Refinement Celestial.

Now that the elder had empowered the Jade Talisman, she would not fear even the Supreme Experts she might encounter.

Meng Chong was about to take Zi Yun to catch up with Su Lingxiu when he suddenly furrowed his brows, his blade swiftly unsheathed as he looked upward and coldly snorted, “Dare to act so presumptuously here?”

He was about to strike with his blade when Li Xuan instead spoke with a smile, “Dreams are but illusions—this girl must be Xin Mengrou, who Wu Tianan spoke of.”

In the midst of the void, the vague phantasm suddenly shattered.

A graceful figure descended, wearing an expression of shock as she looked at the figure sitting leisurely inside the pavilion.

Xin Mengrou!

She had come from the Taimiao Sect because Yarong informed her that Xu Yan hailed from the Inner Domain.

Xin Mengrou’s first thought was of Blood Spirit Child—could it be he hadn’t died?

Was Xu Yan his disciple?

Therefore, she personally came to the Evergreen Pavilion to investigate.

“I thought you were Blood Spirit Child, but it appears I was mistaken. Are you from the Inner Domain?” Xin Mengrou composed herself before speaking.

The existence of such a powerful being in the Inner Domain?

“Both yes and no,” Li Xuan said, smiling mysteriously.

“Ah?”

Meng Chong was suddenly surprised, looking at Xin Mengrou as if seeing a shadow of Du Yuying and wondering aloud, “Is Miss Du your descendant?”

Xin Mengrou nodded and glanced at Meng Chong, profoundly shaken.

The two monstrous geniuses of the Spiritual Realm were actually her disciples!

No!

There was another, the Alchemical Medical Fairy of the Evergreen Pavilion!

“Please have a seat,” Li Xuan gestured to the chair in front of him.

“Thank you, elder.”

Xin Mengrou sat down, her illusion-like powers receding to reveal her true appearance.

Unrivaled in beauty, a once-in-an-age woman.

Li Xuan marveled internally; Xin Mengrou’s cultivation technique was not simple—like a dream, elusive, immensely powerful. Those of the same realm would be easily trapped in an illusion if careless, unable to distinguish between dream and reality.

No wonder Wu Tianan once spoke so highly of her, claiming that in the entire Spiritual Realm, only Xin Mengrou was his worthy opponent.

Li Xuan began to understand why Xu Yan had found his way to the Wisdom Sword Realm, likely related to Xin Mengrou’s dreamlike powers.

“What brings you here?” Li Xuan asked indifferently.

“First, Xu Yan said that before his master, I am merely an ant; second, I wanted to see for myself if a strong individual from the Inner Domain was an old acquaintance,” Xin Mengrou did not hide her intentions, a person of frank and direct speech.

“And what are your thoughts now?” Li Xuan asked with a faint smile, an aura of mystery lingering in the air.

Xin Mengrou took a deep breath and said, “Elder, you are unfathomable!”

“There’s nothing unfathomable about me; I am just an ordinary idler,” Li Xuan shook his head with a smile, the mysterious aura dissipating. He seemed like an everyday person.

Yet, the more he acted this way, the more profoundly Xin Mengrou was shaken, and the more unfathomable he seemed to her.

Cai Ling’er did not continue to contemplate and refine the Power of Domain Laws but came over to attend to them, pouring a cup of tea for Xin Mengrou.

Xin Mengrou looked at her, greatly moved.

“Why does your Divine Soul contain such strong Power of Principles?” Cai Ling’er had just been contemplating and attempting to refine the power, so a trace of that aura was inadvertently revealed, allowing Xin Mengrou to sense the Power of Principles within her Divine Soul.
