Sky Eagle Pavilion's base was located north of Huajiang City, in a large house at the end of Liu Guan Street.
The people who lived in this house were the core members of Sky Eagle Pavilion, as well as their family members.
People like Liu Ying did not even have the right to live here.
Liu Ying was brought to the Loyalty Gathering Hall by the bald man, Deputy Pavilion Master Liu Guangsheng.
Gangs and Hunting Groups were different, they needed to unite people at all times, and the Loyalty Gathering Hall was indispensable.
The Pavilion Master's name was Sky Eagle. Sky Eagle had no other name, and he did not even have a past.
He looked to be in his fifties, and wore a light gold brocade robe, which made him look rich. His hair was neatly combed, and his freckled temples and deep eye sockets gave him a silent majesty. His eyebrows were very light, and there was a scar under his eyelid, which made him look especially decisive.
It was not Liu Ying's first time seeing Sky Eagle, but every time she saw him, she would feel a deep sense of fear.
She could see that he had a strong mind, and would not fall for honey traps. If your most powerful weapon lost its effect, would you be afraid?
Moreover, Sky Eagle did not lack women.
Sky Eagle sat at the head of the Loyalty Gathering Hall, and did not even look at Liu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground. He gently blew on the tea in his teacup, and then took a sip. The tea stayed in his mouth for a while before he swallowed it.
He did not speak, and Liu Guangsheng did not dare to speak either, much less Liu Ying.
Liu Ying only stared angrily at another person in the hall.
That person was Yang Kaitai.
Seeing him, she could basically guess the whole story.
Yang Kaitai stood respectfully by Sky Eagle's side. He looked down and did not even bat an eyelid.
"You're very angry." Sky Eagle suddenly said.
"I, I don't dare …" Liu Ying hurriedly said.
Sky Eagle stared at her with a sharp gaze, "Then why are you looking at him like that?"
Liu Ying hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Pavilion Master, I know I was wrong, please spare my life …"
Sky Eagle lightly said, "Do you really know you were wrong?"
"I do, I really do …" Liu Ying quickly said.
"No." Sky Eagle coldly said, "You don't know, Yang Kaitai came to me to tell on me, his loyalty is commendable, but you are denying his loyalty."
"I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again …" Liu Ying immediately felt extremely regretful.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in doing this?" Sky Eagle said.
How could Liu Ying dare to hide anything? She immediately revealed her wishful thinking.
"Damn you, Liu Ying!" Sky Eagle said angrily, "Do you know how much effort I've put into developing Sky Eagle Pavilion to where it is today? If the princess were to vent her anger on them, they would be destroyed in an instant. I've really underestimated you. You're actually so daring! "
"Pavilion Master, I really know I was wrong …" Liu Ying cried as she kowtowed, "Pavilion Master, please give me another chance, I really don't want to die …"
Sky Eagle said coldly, "This matter is too big, I can't bear the responsibility. Take him away. "
"Vice Pavilion Master, Vice Pavilion Master, save me …" Liu Ying was terrified and quickly grabbed onto Liu Guangsheng's trousers.
Liu Guangsheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Pavilion Master, I have a plan, but I don't know if I should tell you."
"Oh?" Sky Eagle said, "Let's hear it."
Liu Guangsheng said, "It's imperative that Li San takes the blame. Not only do we have to hand Li San over to the princess, but we also have to capture that person and hand him over to the princess. That way, not only can we get out of this, but Sky Eagle Pavilion can also establish a connection with the Imperial Residence. In the future, as long as the princess remembers the Sky Eagle Pavilion's kindness, we'll all benefit greatly."
Sky Eagle's expression changed slightly. "But that person should be an expert. How do we capture him?"
Liu Guangsheng smiled. "There's no need to capture him. I have a way to make him surrender to the Imperial Residence."
Sky Eagle nodded his head and said, "If the Sky Eagle Pavilion can establish a connection with the King's Mansion, then we won't have to care about the Dragon Emperor's Mansion anymore. This is a risk worth taking, but you must remember not to lower your guard."
"Understood." Liu Guangsheng responded.
"This woman …" Sky Eagle said.
Liu Guangsheng took the opportunity to say, "Pavilion Master, this woman is the key to luring that person into the trap. She can't be killed yet."
"If that's the case, I'll leave her to you."
…
Zhuge Xiaoshan lacked battle experience. In the end, he was even used as a shield. Yan Li attributed it to luck, but he would never rely on something as illusory as luck.
After getting rid of the constables, he sneaked back and found a workshop with a few inches of dust. He cleaned up a piece of land and sat cross-legged.
This time, no matter what, he must restore the Source Sea to normal.
To solve the problem, he must first find the problem.
To visualize, one must first immerse oneself in meditation, allowing one's consciousness to detach from the body. Then, one would visualize the Heaven and Earth and integrate one's consciousness into it. If guided by the True Name, the Chaotic Heaven and Earth would appear in a unique form in one's consciousness. It seemed real but not real, fake but not fake. If one believed it, it would exist. If one did not believe it, it would not exist. Therefore, the first step for cultivators was to awaken the True Name. Without the True Name, one would never be able to enter the next level.
There was no problem with visualizing, but the problem was that when one's consciousness entered the Chaotic Heaven and Earth, one would feel a sharp pain in the head.
The pain was heavy at first, but it gradually lightened. Although the pain wasn't as intense now, he couldn't be disturbed even by the slightest bit of pain.
The problem was related to his forceful use of Taibai Sword Tactics. His Spirit God Realm wasn't high enough, so when he forcefully used it, it triggered the self-protection of the Source Sea. Therefore, every time he visualized, it would be forcefully cut off.
There was only one simple solution, and that was to break through to the next realm. As the Spirit God Realm increased, the Source Sea would naturally open up.
The question was, how?
Breaking through to the next realm required nine Essence Energy Tides, and he only had five. Previously, the Dragon God Ring had almost sucked the Fire Spirit Pearl dry, and the energy it had converted into energy was barely enough to raise his cultivation level to this level. Now, he couldn't count on the Fire Spirit Pearl, and he didn't have enough precious treasures on him. Hence, it was impossible for him to break through to the next realm.
No matter how he thought about it, he could only use the most old-fashioned method: keep trying to visualize. If the first time didn't work, he would try the second time. If the second time didn't work, he would try the third time. If the third time didn't work … he just kept trying.
This attempt actually lasted for an entire afternoon.
Yan Li opened his eyes again, his face full of exhaustion. How many times had he forgotten? He was always so close. He felt a kind of weariness, and he even had the thought of giving up. In his more than ten years of cultivation, this was unimaginable.
Everyone gets tired of doing things over and over again. Cultivation was a boring process that was constantly repeated. Only those who could endure loneliness could become experts. In other words, experts were all lonely.
The surroundings were pitch-black and quiet.
Suddenly, he felt something pouncing on him. It was cold.
When he focused his eyes, he saw that it was a drizzle brought by the cold wind.
Raising his head and looking out from the hole in the ceiling, he saw that the sky was like an enormous black curtain that enveloped the entire earth. The raindrops that were as fine as needles were like homeless children that flew wherever the wind blew. They formed groups, yet still fell alone to the place where they returned to, covering the rubble, old wood, grass, tree trunks, lakes, walls, fallen leaves, deserted alleys, and so on with a layer of fine water droplets.
As Yan Li looked on, he became slightly absent-minded. His thoughts seemed to drift in all directions along with the raindrops.
At this moment, there were tens of thousands of clones. It was like the wonderful feeling of recombining all things in the Sword Heart Realm, but it was also different. Every clone had a deep understanding of a kind of truth.
What truth?
For example, when the drizzle gathered together, it became water droplets, and when the water droplets gathered together, it became a river. All living beings relied on it to reproduce. All living beings were as big as humans and as small as fallen leaves. When they died or withered, they would eventually turn into soil. The soil provided nutrients for plants underground. When it was dug out and mixed with other materials, it could be baked into porcelain or bricks.
Everything in the world followed a certain path and was constantly changing.
Wasn't it the same for martial arts?
Things that were unchanging would never improve.
Therefore, the truth of martial arts lay in the word 'change'.
Yan Li's heart was stirred up with wild waves of joy.
This was even more worth celebrating than reopening the sea. Because he had comprehended the truth of martial arts, as long as he had enough energy, he could immediately break through the Cultivation Realm.
He had never thought that the opportunity would come so suddenly.
At this moment, his heart was infused with confidence again, which was gratifying. But what if he peeled off this layer of confidence?
Of course, he couldn't sense it now, because his whole mind was on thinking and visualizing.
This time, he was fully prepared. He adjusted the frequency of his breathing, and every breath resonated with heaven and earth. His consciousness began to spread, and he entered a half-asleep state.
In a blur, his consciousness entered a vast and mighty space.
This was the state of visualization.
Then, the chaotic world would appear in front of him: the mirror-like heavenly gate, the faint trajectory of the rainbow bridge, the indistinct clouds in the middle dantian, the magnificent sea of origin, and the five elemental energy tides.
There was no problem. Everything was happening normally.
This time, after waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not appear.
Yan Li controlled his emotions, and with a thought, he activated the Sword Heart Realization.
In the depths of his soul, it was as if something had opened its eyes, and the eight cursed wills suddenly descended together.
In the plane of the main world, the shabby workshop suddenly shook. The dust within a radius of several meters would be stirred up by a gust of air, spinning wildly around Yan Li, forming a huge vortex.
In the center of the vortex, an unimaginably huge amount of air was injected into the top of Yan Li's head. What was injected was elemental energy, and what was left in the main world were dust and gravel. These dust and gravel fell from the top of Yan Li's head, and quickly joined the vortex, repeating this process endlessly.
In the chaotic world, the huge heavenly gate, which was different from ordinary cultivators, spat out a huge amount of elemental energy. Under the huge amount of elemental energy, the Sword Heart was also propped up into a huge sword, spinning as if it was flying. The hidden sword and the green lotus surrounded it, and it was as happy as a runaway horse.
The rainbow bridge was ten times larger than before, and each bridge was bigger than the original five bridges combined. If the rainbow bridge was a trickling stream in the past, it was now a raging river.
Yan Li felt the curse staring at him, revealing a helpless resentment.
He felt it, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
