In the outside world, in the Ice Emperor's Secret Realm, the geniuses were constantly looking for opportunities, but they were also constantly encountering danger.
In the world of cultivation, opportunities were often directly proportional to danger. Without effort, there would be no gain.
In the small cave dwelling, Chen Zong was not disturbed at all. He was wholeheartedly comprehending. As time passed, his injuries gradually healed by relying on his own self-healing ability and the effects of medicinal pills. He had already recovered to seventy percent.
Since he had recovered to seventy percent, it basically did not affect Chen Zong's movements.
Using his finger as a sword, he slashed out. Suddenly, nine uneven sword lights pierced through the air. Each sword light was extremely dazzling and sharp. It was extremely shocking.
The nine sword lights slashed the cave walls one after another. Immediately, nine sword marks of different lengths and depths appeared on the hard cave walls.
Staring at the nine sword lights, Chen Zong frowned slightly and shook his head. He was very dissatisfied.
What he had just displayed was the Thousand Blades Extreme Slash. However, he had not yet reached the first stage. Therefore, the nine sword lights he displayed were of different lengths and thicknesses, and their power was also different. The difference was huge.
Only when he broke through to the first stage could he be considered to have reached the initial stage of the Thousand Blades Extreme Slash. Only then could he display its true power.
However, Chen Zong had been cultivating for a while, but he was still unable to master it. Even with his super high comprehension ability and the guidance of the Great Abyss King's cultivation memories, the Saint Grade Lower Martial Skill was still very advanced. With Chen Zong's cultivation base and realm that had yet to reach the Saint Realm, it was still difficult for him to master it.
He racked his brains but did not know how to break through.
Unknowingly, Chen Zong thought of the expert in the Way of the Sword in the Great Abyss King's memories. Every strike of the sword was earth-shattering and contained indescribable mysteries.
That Great Abyss King's sword skills and Sword Dao were too advanced and mysterious. It was far from what Chen Zong could comprehend at the moment. However, Chen Zong still felt a little inspired from it. He also thought of the battle he had with the Great Abyss King in his Knowledge Sea.
In that battle, he had given his all and had an indescribable inspiration.
Before he knew it, Chen Zong had entered a state of epiphany.
It was as if they were shuttling through the endless void, swimming in endless mysteries. Countless spiritual lights gushed out, gradually converging into streams, surging into rivers, converging into seas.
Weng!
A pleasant voice rang out. Chen Zong's eyes shone brightly, shooting out an unparalleled sharpness, ethereal and clear like a divine sword shining in the world.
This kind of divine light pressed forward courageously. It possessed great willpower, faith, and determination. No matter how difficult and difficult the world was, it couldn't be stopped in the slightest. If one tried to stop it, they would instead be shattered into powder and disappear from the world.
I have a sword that can fight against heaven and earth!
I have a sword that can cut through all things!
I have a sword that can illuminate time and space!
After a great enlightenment, inspiration gushed out and converged into a river and a sea. A wisp of sword light rose from the sea and shot straight up into the sky as if it was going to split open the ends of the sky.
The incomparably sharp divine light was restrained and disappeared into Chen Zong's eyes. The black and white of his eyes were distinct. The white was like light, vast and mighty, while the black was like an abyss, deep and mysterious.
His eyes were clear and ethereal, as if they had seen through all obstacles. Traces of sword light flickered in the depths of his pupils.
In an instant, Chen Zong only felt that the road ahead was clear, and he was no longer confused.
Countless insights of the Sword Principle emerged one after another, sweeping over like a tide.
Chen Zong slowly closed his eyes, and all the mysteries seemed to disappear.
Three breaths!
Chen Zong suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light shot out like cold lightning.
"Ten Blades Cutting Extremity!" He shouted in a deep and cold voice, and his fingers cut through the air like a sword.
Ten extremely dazzling sword lights suddenly cut open the void. The ten sword lights were of the same length and thickness, and each of them was about a meter long. At the same time, they cut into the hard cave wall, leaving ten deep sword marks.
"Ten Blades Cutting Extremity!" Chen Zong waved his sword again, and ten sword lights broke through the air, becoming more and more dazzling.
He performed it again and again. Gradually, when the sword lights were extremely dazzling, they suddenly restrained and became simple and unadorned. Chen Zong knew that he had really mastered the first level of the Thousand Men Cutting Extremity Sword Technique.
He unsheathed the Heavy Dragon Sword and cut through the air. Ten nearly two-meter-long sword lights tore through the air, and with unparalleled power and sharpness, they cut through the air.
Ten even deeper sword marks were left on the hard cave wall.
Immediately, Chen Zong combined the Body Refining Dragon Power and Qi Refining Spiritual Power to perform the Heart Sinking Sword, and slashed out.
The pitch-black sword light with astonishing majesty bombarded the hard cave wall, leaving a deep sword mark.
After careful comparison, Chen Zong found that the sword marks left by the Heart Sinking Sword and the ten sword marks left by performing the Ten Blades Cutting Extremity were similar in length and depth.
In other words, the power of each sword light of the Ten Blades Cutting Extremity was comparable to that of the Heart Sinking Sword. It was equivalent to performing ten moves of the Heart Sinking Sword at once.
This discovery made Chen Zong gasp.
One had to know that the Heart Sinking Sword was a new power formed by the fusion of the Body Refining Dragon Power and the Qi Refining Spirit Power. In terms of power, it was several times stronger than the Qi Refining Spirit Power alone.
However, the Ten Blades Cutting Extremity was performed by Qi Refining Spiritual Power, and yet it was so powerful. This could only prove one thing, and that was the brilliance and power of the Saint Level martial arts.
Unfortunately, the Ten Blades Cutting Extremity could not be performed by the Heart Sinking Sword. Otherwise, it would be even more powerful.
After all, the Thousand Men Cutting Extremity Sword Technique was a Saint Level martial art for Qi Refining Spiritual Power, and it had nothing to do with Body Refining Spiritual Power. Chen Zong's current martial arts attainment and realm were not enough to improve it.
"Saint Level martial arts can only be performed with the power of a Saint Level cultivation method," Chen Zong thought to himself. This was King Taiyuan's understanding, and it was many times stronger than Chen Zong's.
Obtaining King Taiyuan's memories was a great gain for Chen Zong.
"White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art!"
It was the first time Chen Zong had performed White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art since he came to the Snow Region and entered the Ice Emperor's Secret Realm.
Chen Zong had just cultivated this Saint Level Mid-Level Cultivation Method to the fourth level.
It was not easy to cultivate a Saint Level Mid-Level Cultivation Method, and each level required a lot of time.
However, in comparison, Chen Zong's cultivation speed was actually very fast. After all, Chen Zong had only obtained White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art seven months ago, and he had only cultivated it for seven months. Including the time he spent comprehending it, it was no doubt amazing that he could cultivate it to the fourth level in seven months.
Fu Yunxiao had obtained White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art for more than five years, but he had only reached the peak of the fourth level. Compared to Chen Zong, the difference was obvious.
Most cultivators in the Transcendent Realm would not be able to cultivate a Saint Level Cultivation Method even if they obtained one.
The fourth level of the White Cloud Soaring Heavens Technique was activated. Suddenly, the nine Spiritual Wheels in Chen Zong's body began to rotate at an extraordinary speed. His Spiritual Energy surged like a raging tide. Wave after wave of Spiritual Energy flowed through his body in an incomparably complex and mysterious manner. After a full cycle, his Spiritual Energy also underwent a change. It became increasingly pure and tyrannical, and it even carried a faintly discernible aura.
This aura was above Spirit Qi.
The fourth level of White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art was fully activated, but there was not a single trace of brilliance outside his body. This meant that Chen Zong had complete control over this power, and it would not leak out at all.
Moreover, Chen Zong's physique was tyrannical, so he could completely bear the burden. In other words, as long as Chen Zong wanted to, he could use White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art for a long time until his Spirit Qi was exhausted. This was something that Fu Yunxiao and the others could not compare with.
The reason why Chen Zong didn't use the fourth level of the White Cloud Soaring Heavens was because he realized that if he used the fourth level of the White Cloud Soaring Heavens, his spiritual energy would become stronger, but it wouldn't increase his overall strength at all. Instead, it would weaken it.
This was because the power of White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art could not be integrated with Dragon Force, so there was a gap between the two powers.
As a result, the power of White Cloud Soaring Heaven Art alone could not be compared with the power of Tranquil Sword.
With a thought, the sword came out.
Ten pitch-black sword lights slashed through the air, filling the air with an indescribable mysterious charm.
Slash!
The ten sword lights slashed the hard cave wall, shaking the cave. Ten deep sword marks appeared on the cave wall.
Staring at the ten sword marks, Chen Zong showed a smile.
Sure enough, using a Saint Grade Secret Art to perform a Saint Grade Martial Art was more thorough. It was at least twice as powerful as the full power of Tranquil Sword.
"With a difference of twice as powerful, my strength should be comparable to an ordinary low-level half-Saint." Chen Zong's eyes flashed as he thought to himself.
Being able to compete with an ordinary low-level half-Saint while at the limit of the Transcendent Realm, this was the standard of a Marquis Grade genius.
"However, according to the Great Abyss King's memories, almost all the titled geniuses in ancient times cultivated Saint Grade Secret Arts or had powerful bloodlines." Chen Zong thought to himself, "Those geniuses who cultivated Saint Grade Secret Arts had already cultivated them to a certain level and were able to better control them, replacing the original Spirit Grade Secret Arts."
Fu Yunxiao was an example. The difference in strength between him and the White Clouds Soaring Heavens Art was obvious, but because of the heavy burden, Fu Yunxiao couldn't use it continuously.
The titled geniuses in ancient times could easily bear the burden of Saint Grade Secret Arts. They had even cultivated Saint Grade Secret Arts to the point where they could use it as a foundation instead of a burst of strength.
Chen Zong hadn't achieved this yet.
Therefore, Chen Zong believed that if he was a genius in ancient times, he wouldn't be lower than the Marquis Grade. He should have surpassed the Marquis Grade and reached the Monarch Grade.
"If I'm only equivalent to the Monarch Grade in ancient times, then how powerful would the King Grade and Emperor Grade be?" Thinking of this, Chen Zong couldn't help but gasp. Not to mention the Transcendent Grade, which was above the Emperor Grade.
Ancient times!
That was an era where geniuses and masters were born in large numbers. How good would it be if he was born in ancient times?
Chen Zong couldn't help but think to himself.
Dispelling distracting thoughts, Chen Zong sat down cross-legged and began to carefully comprehend what he had just comprehended.
The fourth level of swordsmanship!
Yes, it was because he had reached the fourth level of swordsmanship that Chen Zong was able to master the Ten Blades Cutting Technique.
The fourth level of swordsmanship was called Sword Theory. It was a very mysterious realm. Under this realm, one would have a deeper understanding of their future path and a deeper understanding of swordsmanship. It would be easier for them to comprehend the mysteries of swordsmanship and cultivate.
To put it simply, the fourth level of swordsmanship wouldn't directly increase Chen Zong's strength, but it would benefit Chen Zong in his cultivation of swordsmanship. Otherwise, Chen Zong wouldn't have been able to master the first level of the Thousand Slaying Technique.
