The Xuanming Token vibrated gently and released a trace of energy that quickly spread out.
The last time the Xuanming Token had vibrated, it was to guide Chen Zong to the black hole shadow. He had entered it and obtained an opportunity, which allowed him to master the illusory power of his mind. He had accumulated more and more power in the Bright Sword Theory Realm, and finally mastered the Half-step Sword Intent.
This time, the Xuanming Small World was about to close. Everyone would be sent out of the Xuanming Small World.
Of course, the prerequisite was to have the Xuanming Token.
Chen Zong's body became blurry as he was enveloped by the Xuanming Token's energy. It was as though he was passing through darkness. The darkness was cold and constantly attacked him from all directions. However, it was blocked by a layer of seemingly weak but extremely tough energy.
It was as if he was flying through the darkness and coldness. Soon after, he was irresistibly repelled.
After experiencing the transition between darkness and light, Chen Zong realized that he had landed in a valley. It was the Xuanming Valley.
Around him, figures materialized. They were the Underworld Ranking's prodigies who were sent out of the Xuanming Small World.
After that, an extremely terrifying aura suddenly descended. It covered the heavens and the earth, and it was deep, powerful, and overbearing. It seemed as if it was the rage of an ancient expert, and it directly suppressed everyone.
Chen Zong could not move at all.
Powerful!
The aura was so overbearing that it seemed like it was going to crush him.
Everyone was stunned. They had no idea what was going on.
Why did they immediately encounter the suppression of this terrifying aura as soon as they left the Xuanming Small World?
Soon after, numerous figures flew across the sky and covered the surroundings. There were dozens of them, and every single one of them emitted a terrifying fluctuation of aura that was as cold as hell.
These people were all Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses from the Xuanming Palace.
Their gazes were focused and cold. They swept their gazes across the crowd with chilling intent.
Chen Zong's heart sank.
Could it be that the opening of the Xuanming Small World was a conspiracy to kill all of them in one fell swoop?
Could it be that the Xuanming Palace was directly related to the Black Fiend?
After all, he and Wu Feng had encountered the Black Fiend Assassins in the Xuanming Small World. This meant that there was more than one assassin in the Xuanming Small World.
The Xuanming Small World was under the control of the Xuanming Palace. The appearance of the Black Fiend Assassins made Chen Zong suspicious. Chen Zong was not the only one who was suspicious.
What was going on?
However, if the Xuanming Palace wanted to deal with them, they did not need to go through so much trouble.
Moreover, there were disciples of the Xuanming Palace.
"Two rats from the Black fiend..... Die!" A forceful and muffled voice rang out, carrying with it an indescribable anger. It was as if thunder had exploded in the sky, extremely terrifying.
Soon after, the two figures trembled like sifting sieves. It was as if their bones and internal organs had been crushed into powder by an extremely terrifying force. With a bang, they exploded into pieces one after another. Their flesh and blood were restricted to a radius of one meter and completely turned into powder.
. was of which of the Xuanming of the Small of the Xuanming Palace...........
Then, the aura that was suppressing the Xuanming Palace of the Xuanming Palace disappeared. Everyone regained their mobility.
"After you entered the Xuanming Small World, the Black Fiend Assassins risked their lives. They paid a huge price and entered the Xuanming Small World. Just now, the extremely powerful voice sounded, explaining to everyone, "The Black Fiend Assassins' target is you. Now it seems that 18 people have already met with misfortune."
Chen Zong and the rest were shocked. They scanned the Xuanming Palace of the 108 supreme talents. Including the two who had died earlier, only 90 of them were left.
In other words, a total of 18 supreme talents from the Netherworld Ranking had died in the Xuanming Small World.
Chen Zong knew that Dai Donglin had died by his sword. As for how the others had died, Chen Zong did not know. However, he knew that they had either been killed by the Black Fiend Assassins or by other supreme talents from the Netherworld Ranking.
From the looks of it, no matter who killed Dai Donglin, the Hei Sha Assassin would take the blame. Chen Zong also hoped that this would be the case. Otherwise, even though he did not regret killing Dai Donglin, if the Dark Nether Palace knew about it, it would definitely be troublesome. It was even possible that the experts of the Dark Nether Palace would kill him back then.
Based on the terrifying aura just now, Chen Zong knew that even if he used all his trump cards, he would not be able to escape.
No matter what, the Black Fiend Assassins had entered the Xuanming Small World and caused the deaths of 18 supreme talents from the Netherworld Ranking to be blamed on the Black Fiend Assassins.
Even though everyone knew that not all of them had been killed by the Black Fiend Assassins, there was no substantial evidence.
The outside world had no way of knowing what had happened in the Xuanming Small World.
Sheng Yuan, Xu Mulong, and the others were naturally shocked when they learned of Dai Donglin's death. Their first suspicion was Chen Zong, but they immediately dismissed their suspicions.
This was because Chen Zong was not as good as Dai Donglin in the previous battle. He had only managed to escape with all his might.
After a few days, even if Chen Zong's strength had improved, it was still impossible for him to kill Dai Donglin.
In addition, the Black Fiend Assassins had entered the Small World, so Dai Donglin's death was naturally attributed to the Black Fiend Assassins.
Chen Zong left the Xuanming Valley safely and quickly returned to the Xuanming City.
Once he returned to the Xuanming Courtyard in the Xuanming District of the Xuanming City, Chen Zong heaved a sigh of relief. It was relatively safe.
Then, Chen Zong began to cultivate in seclusion.
Chen Zong did not know what the others had gained from this trip to the Xuanming Small World, but he had gained a lot.
First, he had a breakthrough in his cultivation and reached the Advanced Half-Saint level. Then, he had mastered the Power of Thunder.
Secondly, he had gained the Mysterious Ancient Refining Fire Technique.
Most importantly, his accumulation of the Enlightenment Sword Principle was several times more powerful than before. It would be more helpful for his future cultivation. In addition, he had mastered the method of transforming his Mind Will, which would also be helpful for his future cultivation.
Lastly, he had mastered the Half-step Heart Sword Principle Meaning.
This was the path to becoming a real expert.
The powerful Saint Rudiment Realm experts had mastered the Principle Meaning. Those who had not mastered the Principle Meaning could only be regarded as ordinary.
After cultivating in seclusion, Chen Zong first sorted out his gains from this trip.
Secondly, he needed to reflect.
He needed to reflect on the battles in the Xuanming Small World, especially the battles after he had comprehended the transformation of his Mind Will and the Half-step Sword Intent.
Finally, he needed to strive to master the Half-step Sword Intent to 100%.
However, it was not easy.
After mastering 50%, it would be several times more difficult to reach 60%. As for the difficulty from 60% to 70%, it would be several times more difficult. After that, it would be even more difficult to improve.
However, at the same time, every improvement would increase the power of the Half-step Sword Intent.
For five days in a row, Chen Zong was in closed-door meditation to reflect. He reviewed every detail more than once and had a deeper understanding.
Vaguely, Chen Zong felt that his Half-step Sword Intent seemed to be able to reach 60%, but it was still a little short.
Since it was difficult to make a breakthrough in a short time, Chen Zong used the most direct method.
Practicing the sword!
It was just a basic sword skill, but it contained the Principle of Origin.
One sword strike after another, the cycle repeated itself over and over again.
Chen Zong forgot everything else and was completely immersed in practicing the sword. Strands of comprehension gradually emerged from the depths of his mind like spring water and spread out. When the conditions were right, success would naturally follow.
Suddenly, the Divine Light surged out like a raging tide, waking Chen Zong up in an instant. He also grasped the mystery in an instant.
He slashed out with his sword. The sword light rose and tore the sky apart as if it had pierced through heaven and earth.
In an instant, the golden sword mark went more than 100 meters away and stopped for two breaths before dissipating.
Half-step Sword Intent … 60%!
Chen Zong could feel that the 80% Half-step Sword Intent was much more powerful than the 70% Half-step Sword Intent.
"The first 30% Half-step Sword Intent is just a basic increase in strength. It's obvious when it reaches 40%. The more complete it is, the more powerful it is," Chen Zong said to himself thoughtfully.
With his accumulation of the Principle of Clear Sword, he could improve his Half-step Sword Intent to 100% in a short time.
However, this short time was relative. Chen Zong estimated that it would take at least a year or even longer. This was already an amazing improvement speed for other cultivators who had grasped the Half-step Sword Intent.
However, Chen Zong felt that it was still a little slow. Time was tight.
There was no doubt that the Black Demons wanted to kill him. He might encounter other dangers and so on.
Strength!
Powerful strength!
Chen Zong couldn't help but think.
Now that his Qi Cultivation had reached the high level Half-step Saint, it would be the limit of the high level Half-step Saint. However, it wouldn't be that easy.
As for his Body Refining Cultivation, even if he reached the high level Half-step Saint, it wouldn't significantly increase his overall strength. It would just add another means.
As for his sword technique, the Blood Drop Sword Technique was his strongest sword technique at the moment. However, it wasn't easy to cultivate it to a higher level.
Chen Zong couldn't help but think of Wufeng's Invincible Blade Momentum.
Invincible Blade Momentum was Wufeng's self-created unique skill.
What were the benefits of self-created unique skills?
Firstly, it was very compatible with one's strength and could be used to the extreme.
Secondly, it had great potential.
Of course, this unique skill wasn't created casually. It was created with all one's strength and everything one had to create a killing move that reached the limit and surpassed the limit.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until I reached 100% Half-step Sword Intent before creating my own unique skill. Now, I can create my own unique skill with 60% Half-step Sword Intent," Chen Zong thought to himself. His eyes were shining.
He had an idea of creating his own unique skill before, and he kept thinking and accumulating. Gradually, he had an idea.
Now, it was time to put it into action.
The light in his eyes kept flashing and became sharper. Then, he closed his eyes and locked all the light inside.
He began to meditate!
His unique skill had to have a main body. The main body was the Half-step Sword Intent.
The unique skill had to be created based on the Half-step Sword Intent. Only in this way could the power of the Half-step Sword Intent be exerted to the extreme.
His Half-step Sword Intent was the Half-step Heart Sword Dao Intent, which was different from the ordinary Sword Dao Intent. If he created his unique skill from the ordinary Sword Dao Intent, he couldn't avoid wasting the potential of the Half-step Heart Sword Dao Intent.
Having a main body was to fill the frame.
What frame should he use?
This required meditation, a flash of inspiration, and an opportunity.
Chen Zong thought back to his past experiences.
Fighting, cultivation, meditation, and scenery.
