Cheng Ying was secretly surprised by Su Erxun's speed when he saw her escape from the attack.
However, he still had a strong smile on his face. "Junior Sister, there will always be a winner when you fight in the arena. What's the point of dodging like this?"
"This movement technique is indeed extraordinary."
Su Erxun frowned and looked very nervous, but Lingtong smiled in surprise. "He's right. Everyone believes in themselves. The more afraid they are, the weaker they are."
"Pressure of the Divine Image. Junior Sister, be careful of my Icebound Sword Realm!"
The latter attacked again.
This time, he wouldn't allow Su Erxun to dodge again. So, before Cheng Ying attacked, he first released the Absolute Image of Gods. The Absolute Image of Gods surged out, and it was strands of cold and ghastly sword qi that interweaved into a terrifying net.
The speed of the cold Sword Realm was indescribably fast. His cultivation and strength were far above Su Erxun's. One could imagine how fast Cheng Ying's Divine Image condensed and controlled her with his true strength.
Who would have thought …
The seemingly weak Su Erxun also released the power of the Divine Image and shouted, "Divine Image!"
With her as the center, without any hand seals, a large amount of surging Divine Image Sword Qi rushed out in all directions as the cold Sword Qi around her pressed down on her with a single thought.
Tut, tut, tut …
The two disciples used their Divine Images and clashed head-on just like that.
Cheng Ying was indeed powerful. The Divine Image Sword Realm was above Su Erxun in terms of collision, explosion, and pressure. However, to everyone's surprise, his Divine Image did not instantly crush Su Erxun's Divine Image. Instead, the latter could fight with his Divine Image.
"Junior Sister!"
"When did the Divine Image become so powerful?"
"The Divine Image is a supreme ability that can best represent a cultivator's overall strength. It's comparable to the Big Goblin's talent. Junior Sister's Divine Image can fight head-on. Doesn't that mean that her strength is not at the first level of the Feather Transformation Realm? Could it be that she's a cultivator of a higher level?"
"She can't be a cultivator of a higher level. If she is a cultivator of a higher level, why is she so unknown among us closed-door disciples?"
Some Feather Transformation Realm disciples really did not believe the scenes produced by the formation.
In their minds, the battle between Su Erxun and Cheng Ying was undoubtedly the difference between a mortal and a cultivator. Cheng Ying was not someone she could contend against.
Su Erin Su Erxun's way, not even one move.
But now, although it was also a single move, they had reached a stalemate of equal strength. Only when their strength was nearly on the same level could Su Erxun and Cheng Ying reach such a stalemate.
"Xun Er seems to have changed after cultivating in seclusion for the past few years. She has become bolder and is no longer a yes-man. Her strength is also close to the high level of the Ascendant Transformation Realm."
The middle-aged woman in charge of the formation fell into deep thought.
An hour later, the inside of the formation was still crashing and shaking.
Clearly, as time passed, the gap between Cheng Ying and Su Erxun began to show. One was a genius, while the other was a nameless cultivator. In the end, Su Erxun's divine image was constantly shaken off and shattered.
Cheng Ying couldn't help but advise, "Junior Sister, just admit defeat. If you continue fighting like this, you won't be able to change the result. Moreover, your True Qi will be greatly consumed."
Su Erxun was very stubborn. "Senior Apprentice Sister, Junior Apprentice Sister is untalented. I want to hold on a little longer. I want to clearly see my own strength!"
After saying that, she raised her aura a little, and the Divine Manifestation Sword Qi surged like a river.
It was like a Sword Qi python, constantly churning and attacking the Cold Qi Sword Domain outside.
This time, Cheng Ying's aura shook a little. Her eyes turned a little colder. Then, she formed a seal and suddenly released the Cold Qi Divine Manifestation.
Seeing her Sword Qi being frozen and the space controlled by the Divine Manifestation shrinking, Su Erxun's face flushed red. She gritted her teeth and held back her strength, continuing to persevere.
But …
In the end, she persisted for two hours. Then, she trembled weakly and fainted as the Divine Manifestation shattered.
Cheng Ying immediately flew into the remaining power of the Divine Manifestation and lifted Su Erxun up. "Junior Apprentice Sister!"
Su Erxun looked at Cheng Ying tiredly. "Senior Apprentice Sister, you're so powerful. Xun Er is sincerely convinced!"
"You're also powerful. You can last so long in my hands. Although you can't compare to Wang Zhongtian, you can still be ranked in the top three among Master's disciples. I didn't expect your overall strength to improve by leaps and bounds in just a few years. Amazing, amazing!"
"I'll work harder in the future. I won't let everyone feel that I always need everyone to take care of me!"
"You, you, don't be so impulsive in the future. If it were another disciple who couldn't control the Divine Manifestation skillfully, you would have been seriously injured this time. I'll bring you to rest!"
With Cheng Ying's help, the two flew out of the formation and won a lot of applause.
And outside the dojo of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, in the air a hundred miles away, a pair of natural eyes of nothingness also slowly retracted.
"Her comprehension is indeed extraordinary. She can fight with a Sixth Level Feather Transformation Realm martial artist to this extent. However, that Cheng Ying didn't use her strongest attack. Xun Er probably won't be able to last for half an hour!"
Su Fang rode on the clouds and escaped into the void.
He returned to the depths of the valley forest and continued to recover.
"I've already recovered 70%. As long as I reach 90%, I can directly suppress any Big Goblin. So what if it's the Nine-Headed Demon King?"
His physical body was becoming more and more normal. Most of his meridians had recovered. In a few years, he would be able to recover to 90%.
After forcefully taking back the Mortal Emperor World from the Shenyuan Empire, he tried his best to settle down while recuperating. He took advantage of this time to come to the Immortal Melody World to become a mortal and integrate himself into the mountains of this paradise. In the most ordinary and settled state, he began to recover and integrate all kinds of magical powers.
Calm and settled.
For ordinary people, it was very simple.
However, looking at Su Fang's journey from the Zhao Country, when could he really achieve peace?
For the sake of strength at all times, in order to deal with more enemies, he constantly experienced, fought with strong enemies, seized treasures, and constantly improved his strength, fought with enemies again, and took risks.
He had been in this turbulent and cyclical state for the past 400 years of cultivation.
Suddenly, from the moment he came to the Immortal Melody World …
It changed.
The world became different and peaceful. There was no Seven Stars Child, no Shenyuan Empire, no Prince Xue, and no Huang Lingyao.
During the time he met Xun Er, he completely treated himself as an ordinary cultivator, or even a mortal. His state of mind returned to his childhood, when he often followed his grandfather to pick herbs and help tidy up the medicine shop.
Now, he was like a supreme emperor who was high and mighty, but he suddenly came to the Greater Thousand World and went with the flow, lowering himself and forgetting himself.
In the divine aperture, Yu'er suddenly smiled. "Master, you can call this kind of cultivation as turning into a mortal."
Turning into a mortal
Su Fang didn't understand. It was the first time he heard this word in his life.
"Turning into a mortal is a kind of cultivation method for immortals. It is equivalent to cultivating one's Dao Heart. When immortals reach a bottleneck and can't break through for ten thousand years, they will start to think of ways to break through the bottleneck. Turning into a mortal is often the first choice.
"They will throw away their high and mighty power, strength, and identity and forget that they are important figures. Then, they will descend into the mortal world and become a mortal. They will live among mortals and adapt to everything about mortals. From there, they will find the true meaning and essence of cultivation.
"Of course, only a very small number of Immortals would choose to cultivate in such a way. Other Immortals would rather choose other methods to break through. After all, who would be willing to give up their status and authority to become a silent mortal?"
"Master, you are actually in the cultivation state of turning into a mortal. Therefore, you will feel that your cultivation is slower than before. Everything will slow down because you are in this kind of Heavenly Dao essence state. Your mind is free of distracting thoughts and desires. However, it is almost unheard of for a mortal cultivator to turn into a mortal.
"Therefore, Master is now cultivating in the state of turning into a mortal. You are probably one of the few people in the countless Small Worlds. Master is indeed an extraordinary person. It is really commendable for you to be able to calm yourself down and return to nature so quickly after becoming a Realm Lord.
"If it was someone else who became a Realm Lord, they would definitely immerse themselves in power and strength. Then they would continue to strengthen themselves and become a true Realm Lord."
Yu'er explained clearly what it meant to turn into a mortal in his divine aperture. He was also full of praise for Su Fang.
The Divine Image Jade Annulus was a Dao item. It had seen countless immortals and mortals. Someone who could make it praise the Dao was definitely an extraordinary person.
"Turning into a mortal is just turning into a mortal. Who cares so much? Just follow your heart and feelings. I believe you will see everything clearly in the end."
In truth, what did he mean by turning into a mortal?
Su Fang really didn't know. All of this was just him following his natural state of mind to cultivate.

Heaven Burning Sword Sect.
In a secret room, there weren't many formations inside. However, there were spirit gathering formations created by top grade spirit stones everywhere.
"Wu wu wu."
In the center.
Su Erxun was surrounded by spiritual qi. She was constantly creating clones. Each clone was formed by a large amount of sword qi. Not only could she create clones, but she could also create countless sword qi.
Under her repeated transformations, her sword qi clones finally reached a point where she could use them without forming hand seals. That made her incomparably excited.
"Just who is he? Looking at his cultivation base, he seems to be in the Calamity realm. Impossible. He can't be in the Calamity realm. Every time I sparred with him in the past few years, I was unable to force him to use his full strength. Whether it was speed or sword arts, he was far above me.
"Using nature is also a power I comprehended from his sword. Adding on this clone sword art he taught me, my cultivation speed is constantly increasing."
A figure appeared in Su Erxun's mind. It was Su Fang.
So all the driving force behind her increase in strength had come from Su Fang.
"Xun 'er!"
Suddenly.
That middle-aged woman entered the formation.
Su Erxun hastily withdrew her sword intent.
The middle-aged woman scolded, "Why haven't you recovered yet? Why are you in such a rush to cultivate?"
"I have to speed up my cultivation. Only then can I catch up to everyone. I can't hold everyone back." Su Erxun was still stubborn.
"Did you have some sort of fortuitous encounter recently? Or did you meet someone who gave you pointers? Your strength is completely different from a few years ago. That's especially true of your sword arts. You no longer focus on sword moves, but on intent."
"That's not it either. It's a sword intent I comprehended on my own when I unintentionally derived it from the peach wood sword."
"So Xun 'er has such comprehension ability."
"If I didn't have this bit of ability, how could I catch your attention? Master."
"That's true."
The middle-aged woman's icy aura melted away due to the mischievous Su Erxun. She became earnest and earnest. "Your senior apprentice-sister Cheng Ying has already smoothly become a Sovereign and entered the upper echelon. However, the sect wants her to immediately go on a mission. It can also be considered as proving to herself that she has the strength and ability to become a Sovereign. I saw that you've advanced by leaps and bounds during this time, so I plan on having you go with her."
"Really? That's great! I can finally go on a mission, and it's even related to the great world!" Xun 'er was so excited that she danced around.
"We're all Ascension Transformation cultivators, but you're still acting like a child. You have to know your limits and prepare well. I'll give you a year." The middle-aged woman turned and left.
