"Powerful!"
As the palace spirit of Conferred King Palace, it had seen all sorts of geniuses. Although Ye Chen was exceptionally talented, he might not be the first. However, the fact that he could improve in the battle against the Sword King showed that his talent was the most frightening. Nobody knew where his limits were. Even in a desperate situation, he could turn the tables.
In other words, in terms of survivability, if Ye Chen said he was second, nobody would dare say they were first. At most, they would be on par with him.
The palace spirit's big eyes brightened.
"No sword in hand, no sword in heart."
After defeating the Sword King, Ye Chen's emotions surged, unable to calm down for a long time.
Through the battle against the Sword King, he had comprehended the next realm of sword dao. No sword in hand, no sword in heart. Although he had only comprehended it and had not truly reached it, at least he had taken a step forward. It was no longer vague, invisible, and untouchable.
No sword in hand meant that the sword arts had no flaws.
No sword in heart meant that the heart also had no flaws.
When the two were superimposed, it would be truly flawless. On the other hand, the opponent would be full of flaws. Even a Sword King who was close to this realm would have to bear a grudge under this flawless sword.
"Many thanks."
Regardless of whether the Sword King was conscious or not, Ye Chen had to express his thanks. If not for the Sword King's last sword strike, he wouldn't have comprehended no sword in hand and no sword in heart so quickly.
"Come out!"
The palace spirit waved its hand, and a human silhouette flew out from the light screen, merging with Ye Chen's body. In the next moment, Ye Chen woke up.
"Congratulations! You're the first sword artist to truly defeat the Sword King." The palace spirit chuckled.
Ye Chen opened his eyes, "The ancients have already passed away. The one I defeated was merely another him, not the real one."
"Neither arrogant nor rash. No wonder you can have your current accomplishments." The palace spirit nodded in satisfaction, "Do you want to know the true cultivation method of Life and Death Realm?"
True cultivation method?
Ye Chen revealed a puzzled expression, as well as a trace of palpitation.
The palace spirit explained, "Don't you feel that the cultivation of Life and Death Realm has many flaws? Why is it that there are early, mid, and late stages before Life and Death Realm? As for cultivation base, it's not a realm at all. It's merely a matter of accumulation. As long as the gap isn't too big, it doesn't affect one's battle strength much. The greatest benefit of a high cultivation base is that one's battle strength can last. Moreover, after reaching Life and Death Realm, of your Zhen Yuan recovery speed is too slow. This is very abnormal. Your supreme grade spirit stones and treasures are mostly used to recover Zhen Yuan, which is a waste. "
"Then, what is the true cultivation method of Life and Death realm?"
"Then of of of Life and Of of of, what is the true cultivation method of Life and of?"
The Temple Spirit didn't answer directly. He took a bite of the fruit and said, "Your current Star-level combat power is actually something I came up with when I was bored. What is your current combat power?"
"His overall battle prowess should be that of a Five-Star Overlord. If he were to unleash his full power, he would be able to reach Six-Star."
The Temple Spirit's expression showed that it was as expected. "There's a big difference, but it's not too ridiculous. Because I'm the one who made this, I have a set of the most standard identification methods. In my eyes, your overall combat power should be at the peak of five stars. If you go all out, you'll only be a five star overlord. You haven't reached six stars yet."
"Deviations?"
Ye Chen listened quietly.
"Before Dragon King challenged the Path of Death, he came to my place and asked me a few things. At that time, his battle power was mid five star, the most standard mid five star battle power. When he goes all out, he can even increase by two small levels, reaching the peak of five stars. According to your judgment, he is a high five star battle power, and when he goes all out, he is a five star overlord. The reason why there is a deviation is because everyone subconsciously judges the strength of others based on their own strength. Without a proper system, it's very normal for there to be a deviation."
"Moreover, this star battle power is something I made based on the situation in Elysium. Outside of Elysium, it has no use in judging. There are all kinds of races in the outside world. The star battle power judgment system works here, but it won't work on other races."
"Most importantly, although my star battle power system's highest battle power is ten star battle power, no ten star battle power has ever appeared in Elysium. Therefore, the latter part is only my own speculation. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. Because I was too bored, I popularized the star battle power system. It seems to have been popularized in Yuan Emperor's era."
Hearing these words, Ye Chen smiled bitterly. It turned out that the so-called star battle power system was only something the Temple Spirit came up with out of boredom. However, this star battle power system was indeed useful in Elysium. The Temple Spirit had existed since ancient times. It had created something based on the strength of countless people, so it was impossible for it not to be perfect. At the very least, it was perfect from one star to seven or eight star battle power.
"What is the real cultivation method?"
Ye Chen asked again.
"Life and Death Ninth Layer!"
The Temple Spirit uttered a new term.
"In the outside world, because there are too many races and abilities, it's impossible to classify one's battle prowess. Therefore, one's strength is still judged by realm, at least on the surface. Nine layers of Life and Death Realm is the universal cultivation method. Although high realm doesn't necessarily mean high battle prowess, one can at least know how high one's foundation is. If one reaches the first layer, the recovery speed of Zhen Yuan will increase by ten times. You won't need to go into seclusion for a few months to recover Zhen Yuan, and you won't need to waste a lot of treasures either. In this way, you can use the treasures to increase your realm. "
"Then, which layer of Life and Death Realm am I?"
"You, you haven't even reached the first layer. If I don't tell you the real cultivation method, you might be able to reach the first layer of Life and Death Realm by chance. But, you will never be able to reach the next realm."
"Not even at the first layer? Elysium is so weak."
Ye Chen didn't think that others had reached the first layer.
The Temple Spirit was speechless, "Didn't I tell you? Although you haven't reached the first layer, in my opinion, you are already equivalent to the third layer in the outside world. After all, your willpower and martial skills are very high, and your sword dao has even reached the level of no sword in hand and no sword in heart. As for the invasion of the alien races, you will be suppressed by the rules of Elysium, and your realm will drop by at least two layers. The stronger you are, the greater the suppression. Otherwise, any sixth layer Life and Death Realm warrior would be enough to kill all the Kings of Elysium. "
"That's true."
Ye Chen was equivalent to the third layer of Life and Death Realm in the outside world, and those six star Kings should be equivalent to the fourth layer. A fifth layer might not be able to kill all the Kings, but a sixth layer would be more or less enough.
"Oh right, since you have the real cultivation method of Life and Death Realm, why don't you pass it down? Don't you want to see Elysium become powerful and defend against the alien races?"
Ye Chen said.
The Temple Spirit explained, "You think I don't want to? The reason why I don't pass it down is because not everyone in Elysium can cultivate to the first layer. Let me tell you, if you want to cultivate to the first layer in Elysium, unless you are a peerless genius, you will turn into ashes at any time. Only outside Elysium can you increase your realm limitlessly, because there are complete rules there. Your lifespan will also increase to a hundred thousand years."
"Since ancient times, people could freely enter Elysium without any restrictions. Later on, when the entrance of Elysium was sealed, I had to pass it down to one person after many years. They were all invincible existences in their era. For example, Yuan Emperor had cultivated to the peak of the second layer of Life and Death Realm. Unfortunately, no matter how much he cultivated, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't turn into ashes. Moreover, the further he cultivated, the harder it was to improve. If he didn't leave Elysium, he would never be able to cultivate to the peak. Otherwise, Yuan Emperor's achievements would be far greater."
"Are you sure I can cultivate to the first layer?"
"Of course. How could my vision be wrong? Originally, even if you couldn't defeat Sword King, I would have passed it down to you after some time." The Temple Spirit said.
"Moreover, your current accumulation of cultivation base is already sufficient to reach the first layer, or even the peak of the first layer."
"Alright, since you've defeated Sword King, this Sword King title belongs to you."
The Temple Spirit waved its small hand, and another row of words appeared behind the last title — Sword King Ye Chen.
Dang! Dang!
A melodious bell sound spread out from inside the Conferring King Palace. Ordinary people couldn't hear it, but all the Life and Death Kings heard it. Many Kings rushed over, wanting to see who had obtained the new title. In the past year, only a few had entered Life and Death realm, and Ye Chen was one of them.
On the plaza of the Conferring King Palace, a Conferring King Pillar's phantom had appeared out of nowhere, with the words' Sword King Ye Chen 'engraved on it.
"Sword King … Ye Chen?"
The first Life and Death King opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"He actually obtained the title of Sword King!"
More and more people rushed over, and there was no lack of peak Kings among them.
Although Sword King was not a Monarch title, for modern people, the weight of Sword King's title was much higher than that of Monarchs. This was because it was a supreme title, the apex of sword artists. Without becoming Sword King, one would never be able to become Sword Emperor. They could only be like Blue Cloud Sword Emperor and Snowflake Sword Emperor, with some other titles in front.
Apart from this, in the future, if others wanted to obtain the title of Sword King, they would no longer have to challenge the ancient Sword King, but Ye Chen. What kind of glory and glory was this?
"He did it!"
On the plaza, a faint smile appeared on Xuanhou's face.
Sword King Ye Chen's name shone brightly, representing the beginning of a new era. The Kings present all had their emotions fluctuate, unable to calm down for a long time.
