In Cang Mountain, it was still the same cave. Wang Yan sat cross-legged in the depths of the cave. The cave was so quiet that even Wang Yan's breathing couldn't be heard. Only a wisp of green light was wandering inside Wang Yan's body. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yan suddenly opened his eyes. He then raised his right hand and pointed his index finger forward. With a 'xiu' sound, a wisp of green light shot forward like a pocket-sized sword light.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, a loud explosion was heard. It was the pocket-sized sword light that hit the mountain wall. Crushed stones splashed everywhere, and a finger-sized but bottomless hole appeared on the mountain wall.
Wang Yan glanced at the hole left by the pocket-sized sword light on the mountain wall and murmured, "After polishing the soft Gang Qi into small Gang Qi, the power has indeed increased a little, but the speed has not changed, and the concealment has become worse. This [Myriad Sword Heavenly Dipper Spell] still needs to be perfected."
At this time, more than ten days had passed since Wang Yan left the poplar forest at the edge of Huaiyang Market. Wang Yan returned to Cang Mountain to concentrate on his cultivation. In these ten days, his progress could be said to be very rapid. Not to mention other things, after absorbing nearly a quarter of the pure Innate Spiritual Qi from the thousand-year-old Polygonum Multiflorum, Wang Yan's Internal Strength had now grown to nearly sixty years. His Internal Strength was much more vigorous than when he first formed his Yuan Embryo. More importantly, under the effect of the Innate Spiritual Qi and the input of a large amount of experience, Wang Yan had already broken through to the fourth level of the [Clear Void Sword Technique] two days ago.
"[Clear Void Sword Technique], self-created Internal Strength mental cultivation method, grade unknown, current progress — fourth level (16535/1000000)"
This meant that with the help of the Innate Spiritual Qi and experience, Wang Yan had completed the polishing of the sword embryo in more than ten days. If he only relied on cultivation, he might not be able to complete this process even if he exhausted ten years of effort, but now he only used less than half a month. This kind of cultivation speed was naturally amazing, but it was not without consequences. After all, Wang Yan had consecutively completed the three major processes of forming, consolidating, and nurturing the embryo in a short period of time. Although the sword embryo had been polished and formed, it was still not stable. Moreover, the rapid increase of Internal Strength made him feel a little restless. Next, he needed time to accumulate and temper his Internal Strength, otherwise it might affect his future cultivation.
However, this was a matter for the future. After all, the fourth level of the [Clear Void Sword Technique] was an extremely long process, which could be seen from the one million cultivation points. In the future, Wang Yan did not know how much time and effort it would take for him to complete this process. Moreover, in order to quickly complete the nurturing of the embryo, he was left with less than fifty thousand out of the two hundred thousand experience points he had accumulated. Even if he used all the fifty thousand experience points on the fourth level of the [Clear Void Sword Technique], together with the remaining Innate Spiritual Qi from the Innate Spiritual Item, Wang Yan estimated that he would only be able to increase his cultivation points by less than three hundred thousand. He would have to rely on himself to slowly cultivate for the remaining seven hundred thousand cultivation points. After all, it was not easy to obtain an Innate Spiritual Item like the one that Rao Yu possessed could be considered as a treasure. It would be a great opportunity for him to obtain just one. Wang Yan never expected to have the chance to obtain such a spiritual item in the future.
After this breakthrough, his strength had improved significantly. Although his inner force did not increase out of thin air, the quality of his Gang Qi had finally undergone a qualitative change under the effect of the Pure Spiritual Qi. If Wang Yan's Soft Silk Gang Qi was said to be the lowest grade Void Gang, after this breakthrough, the performance of his Gang Qi in all aspects was comparable to the True Gang described in the [True Record of the South of the Crane]. Moreover, with the formation of the sword embryo, the sword shadow that was originally the primer of the sword embryo had truly condensed into the source of Sword Qi. In the future, Wang Yan could use Sword Qi as a common method. As long as his inner force was abundant, he could use Sword Qi as he pleased.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan raised his hand again. He casually slapped forward with his palm. Then, there were a few 'thud, thud, thud' sounds. In the blink of an eye, the mountain wall not far away exploded into countless pieces of rubble, and a few inch-deep pits were formed.
Compared to the Gang Qi, the Sword Qi was obviously more concealed. Its shapeless characteristic coupled with the fact that it was almost intangible made it harder for people to detect it. Moreover, its speed was extremely fast. Most importantly, it was also more flexible in its use. Not only could the Sword Qi be shot out from the various acupuncture points in the palm, it could also be condensed and used as one. As for its power, it depended on the amount of inner force consumed.
However, compared to the Gang Qi, under the same consumption of inner force, the Sword Qi naturally could not compare in terms of power. However, due to its flexible use, the Sword Qi could consume a large amount of inner force in an extremely short period of time to increase its power to a terrifying degree. The true Blood Shadow Waterfall was based on this characteristic of the Sword Qi, which was why it could cause terrifying damage in a large area in a short period of time. In this aspect, the Gang Qi could not compare. Simply speaking, if one followed the original cultivation method of Blood Shadow Waterfall, one would fuse the Sword Qi into the sword shadow before launching a sword move. As long as enough inner force was consumed, not only would the power be greater, but it would also not require too much time to accumulate power. If one was skilled in the moves and could use the real and fake at will, the Blood Shadow Waterfall could be used with a swing of the sword.
Besides the improvement of the quality of the Gang Qi and the use of the Sword Qi, the biggest gain from this breakthrough for Wang Yan was that after the formation of the sword embryo, he could finally condense his own unique Sword Qi. After studying the 《Sword Energy Transformation》, he combined it with the understanding of the essence of the energy in the Formless Insight Scripture of the Formless Insight Scripture and spent a considerable amount of time deducing and calculating. In the end, he created a unique sword energy technique called the 《Myriad Sword Heavenly Dipper Technique》.
In terms of cultivation alone, there was nothing special about this technique. It was just to polish the Ten Thousand Soft Threads of Gang Qi into Sword Qi one by one, but in the end, when the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, it could cause a qualitative change with quantity. As for the effects of this Sword Qi technique, Wang Yan was still unclear. This was because this technique was still in its infancy and there were some parts that had yet to be perfected. However, there was one thing that he was very sure of. Once he truly condensed the Ten Thousand Soft Threads of Gang Qi, the quality of his Gang Qi would most likely increase again. In addition to the Clear Spirit Qi produced after absorbing the pure Innate Qi, there was hope that his Gang Qi would advance to the Origin Energy Realm in the future.
It was just that it was not easy to successfully cultivate the Myriad Sword Heavenly Dipper Technique. After all, he had to polish the Ten Thousand Soft Threads of Gang Qi one by one. The effort and time needed to do this would not be any less than washing one's body. However, it was still a process of grinding. If he waited for Wang Yan to completely perfect this technique, he would be able to use the experience points to speed up his cultivation. Therefore, Wang Yan also decided to put the remaining experience points and the experience points that he would get in the future into the Ten Thousand Sword Heavenly Dipper Technique.
In addition to these practical improvements, there was actually another improvement. Wang Yan had a much clearer sense of the 'Qi' in the outside world. With just a thought, he could feel the flow of the 'Qi' within ten meters around him. In other words, even if someone could stealthily sneak up on him, Wang Yan would be able to sense it without using his five senses.
With all these reasons, Wang Yan was extremely satisfied with this breakthrough. His strength had also improved a lot, and his goal of cultivating in seclusion had been achieved.
"It's time to go to the Nirvana Temple. If that Zhu Wuyin really wants to make a move on me, then let me see just how powerful a Clasping Yuan Stage expert is."
Wang Yan slowly stood up. After tidying up a little, he picked up Luo Sha and walked towards the exit of the cave. However, not long after he walked out of the cave, he stood still and pulled out his longsword. He shouted: "Who are you? If you want to take Wang Yan's life, just make your move. Why do you need to hide? "
Although he did not see anyone, Wang Yan relied on his unique perception of the 'Qi' in the outside world to discover that someone had been hiding outside the cave where he was training in seclusion. In his shock, Wang Yan naturally prepared to fight with all his strength. After all, to be able to find the Cang Mountain, the person who came was definitely not simple.
"It's me."
An unfamiliar yet slightly familiar voice came from behind Wang Yan. Immediately after, a figure swept out from nearby like a ghost and appeared in front of Wang Yan in an instant.
Looking at the strange mask on the face of the person in front of him, as well as the two empty sleeves, Wang Yan immediately recognized the identity of the person in front of him. He said in shock: "Guibo?!"
This person was the Guibo who was by Miss Four's side in the Ice Moon Wintry Pond. Wang Yan never expected that he would be the one to find him. Hearing Wang Yan's surprised voice, Guibo indifferently nodded his head. Wang Yan immediately said: "Is Miss Four well?"
"I don't know."
Guibo was still a man of few words, and his answer was extremely brief. However, Wang Yan did not understand. It was clear that when Miss Four was traveling, Guibo had been by her side the entire time. Why did Guibo not know?
Perhaps sensing Wang Yan's confusion, Guibo actually made an exception and said: "I had a disagreement with Miss Four. Before entering the Northern Victory Province, she lured me back to the sect."
So that was it.
Wang Yan sighed softly. Miss Four was probably too arrogant and overconfident. In the end, she provoked Wu Xingyun to take action, which then led to the current situation. If Guibo was here, perhaps the situation would be better. However, Wang Yan immediately shook his head. It was useless to think too much about this now. He immediately bowed deeply to Guibo and said: "Wang Yan thanks Guibo for his kindness in looking after me."
Back in the Shujian Zhuang, Jin Wuyan had clearly said that Guibo had asked him to look after her on his behalf. Regardless of whether this was Miss Four's intention, since it was Guibo who said it, Wang Yan naturally had to thank him.
Guibo did not seem to expect Wang Yan to give such a big bow. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he still accepted the bow in the end and said: "You … are very good."
This seemingly compliment made Wang Yan slightly embarrassed. He immediately changed the topic and said: "I wonder why Guibo is looking for me this time? If there is anything you need, please let me know. Wang Yan will definitely be at your service. "
"I am under the orders of the Manor Lord to protect you."
Hearing Guibo's reply, Wang Yan was completely stunned. Protect me? Or under the orders of the Manor Lord? Wang Yan felt that it was unreal. After all, he was still a servant disciple. Even if he had a little reputation in the Jianghu and was apprenticed to Duan Henan, how could the Manor Lord personally send Guibo to protect him?
Wang Yan was born in a humble family. Even if he had learned a lot and understood a lot, he had never regarded himself as a big shot. But now, hearing Guibo's words, he suddenly had a feeling that he was floating in the air. Naturally, he was not used to it for a while.
"I will be responsible for the Clasping Yuan Stage, you deal with the Embryo Stage by yourself. You can no longer kill the Soothing Pulse Stage. This is the Manor Lord's order."
Guibo said a long speech, which was rare for him. Wang Yan finally confirmed that it was all true. Although he did not understand what exactly happened, he knew that Guibo was indeed here to protect him, even to help him shelter from the wind and rain and protect his growth.
However, Guibo was by Miss Four's side at that time, but now he specially came to protect him. So …
For a moment, Wang Yan's heart beat wildly. Some crazy thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he pushed these thoughts out of his mind and only said: "So, I can go to the Nirvana Temple openly? I don't need to hide anymore? "
