Report

In the end, Wang Yan could not come up with a solution. He knew that his accumulation was still too shallow, his cultivation level was too low, and his ability was far from enough. At least, compared to the pioneer on this path – Ren Tianxing, Wang Yan was still far behind. Even compared to Liu Zhaoxian, who was about to embark on the path of defying nature, Wang Yan was still no match for him. = Music = Literature = Novel

"The countermeasure of the Will of the Heavenly Way has temporarily failed. It should not make any big moves in a short period of time. You go back and prepare yourself. There may be big changes in this trip to the Golden Lights Cave."

Liu Zhaoxian seemed to have seen through some secrets, and then said, "Originally, every warrior at the peak of the Clasping Yuan Stage who enters the Golden Lights Cave can have two guardians, but the Headmaster has given the order to reduce the number to one. This is a sign of big changes."

Hearing this, Wang Yan understood immediately, and said, "Senior, you mean that the countermeasure of the Will of the Heavenly Way will temporarily stop, but it will not really disappear. The next time it appears, it may very well be in the Golden Lights Cave, and it will be even more fierce?"

"You have a very strong power of understanding, and this is what I value the most about you."

Liu Zhaoxian nodded to confirm Wang Yan's words, and also complimented Wang Yan. However, Wang Yan did not feel happy at all, instead, he felt a strong sense of urgency. After all, he was still not strong enough. Therefore, he did not delay any longer, and bowed and said, "If so, I will leave first. I will definitely make good preparations during this period of time."

"Go. It will take at least a month, or ten days. When the Nine Leaf Lotus has completely bloomed, I will come to find you."

Wang Yan did not stay any longer, and immediately stood up, and left the Moon Reflecting Peak.

Wang Yan did not have the slightest bit of confidence in the impending great change, and it also contained the treacherous and ferocious countermeasure of the Will of the Heavenly Way. He was not a person without respect. In the underground stone chamber of Mount Tailan, he had seen how the insufferably arrogant Ren Tianxing had been defeated step by step. The strength of the Heavenly Way was almost unrivaled.

Even though Wang Yan had the Merciless Dao Annihilation Sword, he wasn't sure how effective it would be against super experts like Zong Wanliu or those old monsters. Even if the power of the Merciless Dao Annihilation Sword was disregarded, Wang Yan knew that with his current cultivation, he could at most use the Merciless Dao Annihilation Sword two or three times.

In the end, his foundation was still insufficient.

With this thought, Wang Yan took out an item from his robes. It was the Nine Blood Sword Order. For the current Wang Yan, ordinary martial arts manuals were no longer of any use to him. If he wanted to increase his strength, he needed to constantly study the Great Way, and from the various rules of the Heavenly Way, he needed to grasp the loopholes, and then comprehend the means to break the rules.

But this path was extremely difficult, and more importantly, Wang Yan did not have that much time, so he still had to think about cultivation methods. Ordinary cultivation methods were useless to him, but the Earth Level Supreme Sword Technique like the Nine Forms of Blood Sword was obviously different. If he could learn all nine sword techniques and master them, he would definitely be able to increase his strength a little. Moreover, in the supreme secret manuals of this level, there were naturally many rules of the Heavenly Way hidden. If he could see through and comprehend all of them, his understanding of the Great Way would naturally increase a lot. To a martial artist, every peerless secret manual was a part of one's foundation.

"Perhaps I should think about some of the superior secret manuals in the sect. Even if I don't cultivate them, I'm afraid I can gain a lot just by looking at their essence."

Wang Yan's eyes flickered. He naturally wanted to learn all of the Nine Forms of Blood Sword. In addition, he also wanted to obtain some other superior or even supreme cultivation methods. Aojian Villa had a total of three major sect-guarding sword techniques. The other two sword techniques were not inferior to the Nine Forms of Blood Sword, but there was an iron rule in the sect that any disciple who learned one of the sect-guarding sword techniques could not learn the other two sword techniques. Even with Wang Yan's current cultivation strength, he could not covet the other two sword techniques in a short period of time. However, in addition to this, the sect also had some superior top secret techniques that were comparable to the supreme cultivation methods, such as the [Unrestrained Sword Source], the [Secret Technique of Connecting Seas], and the [Godless Technique]. These three secret techniques were known as cultivation methods second only to the sect-guarding sword techniques, especially the [Godless Technique], which was highly praised in the [True Records of the Southern Crane].

Since he could not get his hands on the other two sect-guarding sword techniques, Wang Yan naturally wanted to get his hands on these secret techniques.

With that in mind, in the next few days, Wang Yan first visited his grandmaster, Elder Yun Jian, and his master, Duan Henan. From the two of them, he obtained a Secret Sword Badge to enter the Secret Sword Pavilion and chose the [Unrestrained Sword Source] and the [Godless Technique]. However, the two of them could only help Wang Yan this much. After all, there were rules for everything. It was even to the extent that if it wasn't for Wang Yan defeating four Hidden Dragon Rankings powerhouses amongst the Elite Disciples, Elder Yun Jian would probably not have taken out the Secret Sword Token.

As such, as for the remaining [Secret Technique of Connecting Seas], Wang Yan could only think of another way. However, he already had a plan for this secret technique.

.....

"Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance!"

On the main peak of the mountain in front of the Aojian Villa, an inner disciple exam was taking place once every three months. On the training field, there were three rings. Gu Xiaoyue was on the ring in the middle, holding a long sword in his hand. With a soft shout, he soared into the sky like a flying phoenix. His sword aura spread out, bringing with it an imposing aura towards his opponent.

Facing Gu Xiaoyue's extraordinary sword attack, the opponent clearly could not withstand it. After struggling for a moment, he let go of his sword and was thrown off the ring. The inner elder on the side immediately said, "Gu Xiaoyue wins."

Gu Xiaoyue landed on the ground and stood steadily. He put the long sword on his back and then bowed to the inner elder.

The inner elder nodded and said, "Your sword art has improved quite a bit. But when you are fighting, it is a matter of a thousand pounds. Although you have increased your power by shouting the name of your sword art, it has also made your flaws bigger, giving your opponent a chance to take advantage of it. If you are facing a really powerful opponent, you will be at a great disadvantage."

Gu Xiaoyue was originally valued by Elder Yunjian, who wanted to take her in as a disciple. Unfortunately, she messed up during the trip to the Northern Victory State. Duan Henan sent her back to the sect to report. On the way, she had a fortuitous encounter, but it was delayed. In the end, it took her half a year to return to the sect. Although she had gained a lot from the fortuitous encounter, she had also lost Elder Yunjian's favor, so she was still an inner disciple. Even so, there were still many elders who valued her. As long as she improved her cultivation, there would naturally be someone who would come forward to take her in as a disciple.

It was because of this that the inner elder was willing to give her pointers. However, Gu Xiaoyue did not agree with the elder's words. After all, she was a player and not a real martial artist. To players, sword techniques were like skills. In addition, with the recent update, it was possible to use voice control to attack. Therefore, more and more players would shout the name of the technique in battle, so they could catch their opponent off guard or use a combination of techniques.

However, she still had to put on a show. Gu Xiaoyue looked like she was listening to the elder's teachings. After a few perfunctory words, she was ready to leave the ring. However, just as she took a step forward, a loud explosion came from the horizon. She immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure sweeping up a strong wind, stepping on the air like a celestial being.

"Wang Yan?!"
