Grave Island Sea Region?
The Grave Sea Region was located in the center of this sea. There were a few mysterious islands, all of which were graves, hence the name.
The graves on the islands were incredibly mysterious. No one knew whose graves they were or when they were left behind.
That sea region was a forbidden land of the entire Grave Sea.
One would most likely die if they entered.
Very few people came out of that place alive.
Even though that Grave Island had many natural treasures of the outside world, very few people would go and explore it.
Knowing that death awaited them, who would not care about their lives and charge in?
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Luo Nan, Fei`er, and the others would not charge into the Grave Island Sea Region for no reason at all.
There had to be something wrong with this.
He had to find out the reason behind it. If he found out that there were other secrets behind it, he would definitely die.
If Xiao Chen found out what other secrets there were, he would absolutely not let them off.
After some thought, Xiao Chen said, "Chief Manager Ding, help me investigate this matter. I want to know why they went to the Grave Sea."
"Don't worry. Leave it to me. I will definitely give you an answer within three days."
Ding Yuan's expression turned grave. It was rare for Xiao Chen to ask him for help, and it was within his capabilities to do so.
If Ding Yuan improved his relationship with Xiao Chen, there would be even more benefits in the future.
As a businessman, he could see through this kind of thing very clearly.
Xiao Chen stayed in a rented courtyard in the Pirate Hall for now, waiting for news.
While waiting, Xiao Chen did not remain idle.
He took out the starting stance of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique that the Venerable Xuan Bei gave him.
The starting stance.
Every Saber Technique had a starting stance. Without a starting stance, it would be an incomplete Saber Technique that was very incomplete.
Even the Flawless Saber Technique that Xiao Chen created had a starting stance.
However, because Xiao Chen created it himself, the starting stance was already ingrained in his heart. There was no need to learn it, as it was his own to begin with.
However, if it were someone else's Saber Technique, then he would have to grasp the starting stance.
This was especially so for a Cultivation Technique that was directly comprehended from a Primogenitor Grade Cultivation Technique.
Looking at it from a certain point of view, this single starting stance was even more valuable than the three crippled moves that Xiao Chen had grasped.
Xiao Chen looked at the painting carefully.
A monk, holding a Buddhist Commandment Blade, made a gesture of getting ready.
He held the saber in his right hand and pointed it at the sky. His left hand formed a special Buddhist hand seal.
The manager explained that the hand seal was the Seven Kill Seal.
It represented the seven different killing intents in the world. This handprint was not an original creation of Buddhism. It was absorbed and dissolved from the pagan religion.
In the Buddhist Sect, it was a forbidden technique that ordinary people could not cultivate.
There were also seven types of killing intent?
Xiao Chen was deep in thought. He had never seen or heard of such a thing before.
After carefully reading the annotations on the scroll, he suddenly realized that it was referring to seven different mental states.
There was an indifferent killing intent, as if he was casually stepping on an ant.
There was a killing intent that was as gentle as water, as calm and unruffled as a small stream. When he killed, his mind was calm, and there was even a trace of joy.
There was a world-shaking killing intent, as if he wanted to fight a powerful enemy and was willing to risk his life.
There was extreme hatred and killing intent. Anger attacked the heart, shocking the heavens.
There was an unbearable killing intent. He didn't want to kill, but he couldn't bear it.
…
After carefully thinking about it, Xiao Chen discovered that his killing intent was inseparable from these seven types. He would eventually be able to find a corresponding one.
After forming the Seven Kill Seal, the wielder's killing intent would increase sevenfold. Furthermore, he would be able to control it as he pleased.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he could not help but feel his hair stand on end. No wonder this seal was considered a forbidden technique.
If an ordinary person cultivated this, it would be strange if they did not enter a state of Berserking Qi Deviation and fall into the Demonic Dao.
Only a virtuous esteemed monk with a benevolent heart could resolve the repercussions of forming this seal.
Xiao Chen continued watching.
Xiao Chen discovered that the crux of this stance was not the Seven Kill Seal.
Instead, it was the understanding of the entire Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique. This Saber Technique was boundlessly vast, broad, and profound.
Everyone could gain different insights from it. Every move and every style could be dismantled. When creating a Saber Technique according to one's character, its might would be equally terrifying.
Every move and stance could be broken down into a profound Saber Technique.
Interesting. It looks like that Zhen Yuan comprehended the Asura Hell Saber from entering hell.
This person's mastery of the Buddhist Dharma was indeed superior to Xiao Chen's.
If Xiao Chen had not seen this stance, he definitely would not have thought that a simple saber and stance could be broken down and cultivated.
Closing the painting, Xiao Chen entered deep thought.
He had learned two moves of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique: Breaking the Mundane and Resolving the Mundane.
He thought that he had comprehended the true meaning of his cultivation. However, when he looked at this stance, he discovered that it was just the beginning.
As the Buddhists said, one flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi.
One move, Breaking the Mundane, could form a school of its own, branching out from simplicity to complexity. Xiao Chen continuously evolved the true meaning of Breaking the Mundane, using the saber in his hand to interpret it more comprehensively.
What about the end?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen comprehended something. He thought about the cultivation of his Saber Technique.
He thought about his cultivation of Saber Techniques, but he was just repeating two processes: from simplicity to complexity, and from complexity to simplicity. Every time he repeated it, the second time would be even more difficult.
It was just like when Xiao Chen was in the Kunlun Realm. At first, he only learned the simplest and most basic Saber Techniques. Then, he started to learn all sorts of complicated and profound Saber Techniques.
This was going from simplicity to complexity. Finally, he comprehended the Flawless Saber Technique. Everything he learned in half his life was in the seven moves of the Flawless Saber Technique.
This was going from complexity to simplicity.
When Xiao Chen arrived in the Great Thousand Realms, his horizons were broadened. Then, he started to go from simplicity to complexity on the foundation of the Flawless Saber Technique.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's mind became clear. His understanding of Saber Techniques immediately rose by another level.
Invisibly, his Saber Dao's Great Dao Energy improved further.
Observing the stance of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique allowed him to draw inferences about other cases, benefiting him greatly.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and deepened his comprehension further.
Two days later, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and started to focus on cultivating the Seven Kill Seal.
Although Xiao Chen was not an esteemed monk of the Buddhist sect, his experiences had tempered his mental state to the point that it was no weaker than an esteemed monk's.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen was not a member of the Buddhist sect and could not break the rules of the Buddhist sect.
When cultivating, he had fewer worries, which made it harder for a heart demon to form.
With his astonishing comprehension ability, Xiao Chen's cultivation of the Seven Kill Seal, which had clear explanations and paintings as a reference, went rather smoothly.
After spending only three days, he gained some comprehension.
As Xiao Chen's left hand's hand seals changed continuously, his heart moved accordingly. The crux of successfully forming the Seven Kill Seal was that the various killing intents in one's heart had to change according to the hand seals.
There could not be any mistakes. Otherwise, one would fail.
Slowly, Xiao Chen felt his killing intent become like water, strangely connecting with the hand seals of his left hand.
As the killing intent changed, it molded into all sorts of shapes, entering a wondrous state.
Xiao Chen's nimble hands formed all sorts of hand seals, and the killing intent in his heart moved accordingly.
Eventually, Xiao Chen discovered that his killing intent no longer came from his heart. Instead, it was completely controlled by his left hand.
Instead, his heart became a bystander, entering a certain ethereal state.
It was like a lotus flower never touching water or the sun and moon never hanging high in the sky.
The so-called killing intent was just pure killing intent. It had nothing to do with my heart or with me, Xiao Chen.
He directly stripped the killing intent from his heart.
With a quick glance, the Seven Kill Seal had already been formed. The entire cultivation room was enveloped by an extremely enormous and heavy killing intent, yet Xiao Chen didn't feel anything.
Disperse!
With a slight movement of his left hand, the boundless killing intent vanished.
Kacha!
It was as if a bright moon had fallen into the water, splashing clear water. Xiao Chen's heart also fell into the water along with the bright moon.
It was over. That ethereal state.
Xiao Chen woke up with a start. His eyes were bright and clear. His soul seemed to have been cleansed just now.
His eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, without a speck of dust, just like a gem.
His body emitted a simple, elegant, and otherworldly aura that merged with the Ice Feather Divine Art that he cultivated, making him appear even more extraordinary.
The cultivation techniques of the Buddhist sect were truly profound.
Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. Although the Seven Kill Seal seemed to be boundlessly domineering, it did not seem like a Buddhist cultivation technique.
But on the inside, it was a Buddhist Sect cultivation technique.
"Young Master Xiao, I found it."
Just at this moment, Chief Steward Ding's voice rang out from outside the room.
Xiao Chen startled awake. Seven days have passed already?
I really didn't feel it.
