Jianchen left Walaurent City on his Class 3 Magical Beast and headed east as the sun rose.
He had already seen a map of the nearby region. A hundred kilometers to the east of Walaurent City was a small mountain range. That was his destination. Jianchen had already read many of the experiences left behind by his predecessors in Changyang Prefecture's Library and Kargath Academy's library. He had already memorized the process.
Although less than a tenth of the people on the Tian Yuan Continent could successfully break through to Earth Saint Master, Jianchen had absolute confidence in himself. He believed that the hurdle of life and death from Great Saint Master to Earth Saint Master could not stop him. ,
If he did not even have the courage to break through the first hurdle of breaking through to Earth Saint Master, then how would he face the more difficult bottlenecks in the future?
Passing through the plains outside of Walaurent City, Jianchen arrived in a small forest. The Class 3 Magical Beast ran like the wind in the small forest. The whistling of the wind blew past his ears, greatly affecting his hearing.
Just as Jianchen passed under a large tree, an intense Sword Qi emitting a resplendent light broke through the dense foliage and shot toward Jianchen like lightning.
Jianchen immediately dismounted and dodged to the side.
With a miserable shriek, the Class 4 Magical Beast was cut in two by the Sword Qi. Bright red blood spurted out and dyed the grass on the ground red.
Powerful Saint Force surged from Jianchen's right hand and quickly condensed into a silver-white longsword. With a wave of his hand, a sharp Sword Qi shot out from the sword and streaked through the air, shooting toward the lush foliage.
The lush foliage shook and Jianchen's Sword Qi dissipated. Following that, a grey-clothed figure shot out from the lush foliage. A powerful aura covered the sky and fiercely pressed down on Jianchen's body. A large sword as wide as a palm emitted a dazzling golden light as it slashed toward Jianchen.
"Earth Saint Master!" Jianchen cried out in his heart. His face became serious and he didn't dare to be careless. With a thought, a faint purple and green light emerged from the Light Wind Sword and fiercely slashed at the incoming greatsword.
"Ding!"
Sparks flew as the two Saint Weapons collided in midair. The purple and green Sword Qi from the Light Wind Sword had directly cut a hole in the giant sword.
The grey-robed man let out a muffled groan as he staggered a few steps back. His Sacred Weapon had been damaged, and he had also been implicated.
Jianchen also staggered back a few steps. He was now a peak Great Saint Master, and his strength had increased by a lot. He was no longer in such a difficult situation when facing an Earth Saint Master. Even so, his arm still felt numb from the exchange with the grey-clothed man.
Jianchen raised his head to look. When he saw the face of the grey-robed man, his face immediately turned cold. He said in a deep voice, "Elder Wu, it's actually you."
The person who had suddenly attacked Jianchen was Elder Wu of the Tianqin clan.
Elder Wu's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the hole in his Sacred Weapon.
"How is this possible? With your strength, how was it possible for you to destroy my Sacred Weapon?" Elder Wu looked at Jianchen with a face full of shock.
Jianchen coldly smiled at Elder Wu's shocked expression and said, "Elder Wu, it seems that you still can't forget about the Five Colored Stone in my hand."
Hearing the Five Colored Stone, Elder Wu's face revealed a look of understanding. Soon after, his face revealed an unconcealable joy as he said, "Yes, it must be the Five Colored Stone. The Five Colored Stone is a priceless treasure with great power. The only reason you were able to destroy my Sacred Weapon was because of the Five Colored Stone."
Thinking up to this point, Elder Wu's heart immediately calmed down. His face sank as he coldly stared at Jianchen and sternly said, "Jianchen, I'll give you two choices. The first is to leave the Five Colored Stone behind and I'll spare your life. The second is to kill you and take the Five Colored Stone from your body. Make your choice."
Jianchen coldly smiled. He was too lazy to explain elder Wu's misunderstanding. He stared at Elder Wu with a mocking gaze and said, "Elder Wu, are you sure you can defeat me?"
Elder Wu coldly snorted and said, "Jianchen, don't think that you can fight an Earth Saint Master just because you have a priceless treasure. The difference between an Earth Saint Master and a Great Saint Master is like a chasm. It's not something that can be made up for by any treasure." Although he said this, there was still a trace of fear in the depths of elder Wu's eyes.
"Is that so?" Jianchen coldly smiled and said, "Today, I'll let you see how a Great Saint Master kills an Earth Saint Master. The chasm between Great Saint Master and Earth Saint Master is destined to be broken by me." With that, Jianchen charged toward elder Wu.
"Hmph, arrogant. I don't believe that I can't stop you with my strength as a Third Cycle Earth Saint Master." Elder Wu angrily roared as a strong Saint Force wrapped around his greatsword. With a whistling sound, he slashed it at Jianchen.
The purple and green Sword Qi on Jianchen's Light Wind Sword became even more intense as it met elder Wu's Saint Weapon head-on.
Elder Wu knew that Jianchen's Saint Weapon was powerful and could not touch it. Thus, he forcefully changed the trajectory of his greatsword to avoid Jianchen's Light Wind Sword and aimed it at his chest.
Jianchen coldly smiled. The Light Wind Sword in his hand was like a nimble viper. With a sudden twist in the air, it actually took the initiative to chase after elder Wu's Saint Weapon.
Jian Chen clearly understood that Earth Saint Masters were not so easy to kill. If his attack had been aimed at elder Wu, he would have definitely been able to dodge it. However, if he had struck the Saint Weapon in elder Wu's hand, he would definitely have been heavily injured.
Jianchen's sword was extremely fast. Even if elder Wu wanted to control his Saint Weapon to dodge, it was already too late. In the end, the sharp tip of the Light Wind Sword pierced through the greatsword.
"Ding!"
With the sound of metal clashing against metal, Elder Wu's palm-sized greatsword was pierced through by the Light Wind Sword. With his Saint Weapon damaged, Elder Wu's face paled as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Elder Wu withdrew his Light Wind Sword and immediately retreated to create some distance between himself and Jianchen. His eyes were filled with fear as he stared at the greatsword in Jianchen's hand. He cried out in alarm, "I never thought that a peerless treasure would be so powerful. It was actually obtained by a mere Great Saint Master. It can even threaten an Earth Saint Master's life." Although his injuries were not light, elder Wu did not have the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, his desire to steal the treasure grew even stronger.
Jianchen's body slightly swayed, leaving behind an afterimage as he rushed towards elder Wu with a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.
Elder Wu's face became stern. He did not even have the time to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth before he began fighting Jian Chen. However, after suffering twice, elder Wu was now extremely fearful of Jian Chen's sword. He did not dare to touch it at all. He could only use his strength, but he was unable to use it completely. He fought in a rather sullen manner.
However, Jianchen did not have the slightest fear. The Light Wind Sword turned into a hazy sword shadow as it pierced towards elder Wu again and again. In the end, the speed of the sword was so fast that it formed layers upon layers of sword shadows that surrounded elder Wu. Although elder Wu was an expert in the Earth Saint Force and had already condensed a layer of armor around his body, this layer of armor was like a decoration in front of the sword spirits that could even destroy Saint Weapons. It was unable to provide any protection for elder Wu.
At this time, Elder Wu was unable to dodge in time and the Light Wind Sword cut into his arm. A trace of purple and green Sword Qi entered his arm and rushed towards Elder Wu's five viscera and six bowels.
"Ah!" Elder Wu couldn't help but cry out in pain. Jianchen took advantage of this rare opportunity and the Light Wind Sword turned into a silver ray of light as it slashed towards elder Wu's neck.
Elder Wu's head flew high into the air with a pillar of blood. Elder Wu's head had been cut off by Jianchen's sword and he died with his eyes wide open.
Even in death, he still could not believe that a Third Cycle Earth Saint Master like him would actually die at the hands of a Great Saint Master brat.
Jianchen let out a long breath. Elder Wu was truly worthy of being a Third Cycle Earth Saint Master. He was truly difficult to deal with. His strength was much stronger than the old patriarch of the Xia Clan.
Jianchen arrived in front of elder Wu's corpse and took off the spatial ring on his finger. After a slight hesitation, he dug a hole and buried elder Wu's body.
This place was too close to Walaurent City. If elder Wu's body was left here, it would be quickly discovered by the Tianqin Clan. At that time, he would be in big trouble.
After burying elder Wu's body, Jianchen cleaned up the battlefield and covered up all traces of elder Wu before finally leaving.
Two hours later, Jianchen arrived at a small mountain range and finally sat down on a large rock in front of a waterfall. After calming his heart, he took out two Class 4 Monster Cores and entered into a state of cultivation.
There were no Magical Beasts in this small mountain range. Even wild beasts rarely appeared, so normally no one would set foot here. Jianchen was very relaxed when cultivating here.
The energy from the Monster Cores continuously flowed into Jianchen's body. The moment the energy from the Monster Cores entered Jianchen's body, it was as if there was a mysterious force pulling them out of the Monster Cores and into the Sword Spirits.
The energy was continuously absorbed by the miniature version of the Light Wind Sword in Jianchen's Dantian. The Light Wind Sword's light became more and more intense, illuminating the entire Dantian.
Jianchen had already memorized the process of breaking through from a Great Saint Master to an Earth Saint Master, so it was a walk in the park for him.
