(Sorry, I'm late for this chapter. My child has a low fever.)
In Mount Fulong, the sky was dark. Lightning flashed and torrential rain poured down as if it was going to drown the entire mountain.
At the Chen family's mine, the camp was dilapidated and filled with puddles.
A group of people wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats approached quickly.
At a glance, other than the puddles and dilapidated houses, the corpses of demonic beasts and humans were everywhere.
"Let's see if there are any survivors." A low voice sounded with a hint of sorrow.
The group of people moved quickly but did not find any survivors.
This group of people was from the Chen family. If Chen Zong was here, he would realize that the leaders were Elder Chen Liwei and Elder Chen Xing. The rest were the Chen family's iron guards.
This time, for some unknown reason, the demonic beast horde had attacked the camp, resulting in heavy casualties. Chen Shaojie had lost an arm and managed to escape under the protection of the elders and the Iron Guards, but the elders had all been killed by the Heavy Armored Bull. In the end, the thirty Chen Clan Iron Guards had all been sacrificed.
To the Chen family, such a loss had not occurred for decades. They were heartbroken and grieved for a long time.
"There are still four clan hall disciples who have not returned. Elder Chen Xing, you lead a team and I'll lead another. We'll split up and look around," Elder Chen Liwei said.
Of the four people, two were from the Heaven Court and two were from the Earth Court. Chen Zong was among them.
"Okay." Elder Chen Xing's heart was heavy.
Every clan hall disciple was the future strength of the Chen family, especially Chen Zong. He was one of the Wind and Martial Four Young Elites. He was very talented and his future achievements might be above the elders. If he died like this, it would undoubtedly be a great loss to the Chen family.
Besides, Elder Chen Xing had seen Chen Zong become more powerful step by step and admired him very much.
…
Chen Zong checked the six porcelain bottles one by one.
There were 20 Energy Pills in the oil paper bag. Chen Zong ate one to replenish his energy so that he would not be so hungry.
Three porcelain bottles contained Beast Blood Pills, a total of thirty pills. One porcelain bottle contained Scarlet Blood Pills, a total of five pills. The last porcelain bottle contained medicinal powder, fragrant and bitter. It was a wound medicinal powder suitable for sprinkling on wounds. It could disinfect, stop bleeding, and accelerate wound healing.
The three books were three Foundation Establishment martial arts.
Snake Shadow Hand!
"Wind Splitting Palm!"
Lightning Flash Sword Technique!
As for the black metal piece that was as big as a fist, it was quite heavy, many times heavier than a piece of heavy metal of the same size. Chen Zong did not know what it was, but since it had been put away by the Naga, it most likely had some use, so Chen Zong put it away.
There were more than a dozen herbs, with the lowest being a Tier 2 herb and the highest being a Tier 5 herb.
Taking the three books to the entrance of the cave, Chen Zong flipped through them with the help of some light. After flipping through the Snake Shadow Hand first, Chen Zong confirmed that it was the Foundation Establishment Martial Arts that the Snake Man had practiced.
As for the Wind Splitting Palm, Lightning Flash Sword Technique, and the porcelain bottles, they might have been obtained by the Snake Man after killing other warriors. Now they were all Chen Zong's.
Among the three Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, Chen Zong was only interested in the Lightning Flash Sword Technique. He flipped through it a few times.
This was a sword technique that was comparable to the Breezy Sword Technique of the Li Family, but it was not as good as the Eight Moves of the Real Sword.
"Practice?" Chen Zong muttered to himself.
"Then let's practice." Without much hesitation, he made a decision.
Compared to his peers, the number of Foundation Establishment Martial Arts he had practiced was obviously much higher.
Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of martial artists would rarely cultivate new Foundation Establishment martial arts because they did not have the time. However, Chen Zong felt that cultivating a few more Foundation Establishment sword techniques might be beneficial to him.
From the four Foundation Establishment Sword Techniques, the Eight Moves of the Real Sword, and the Eighteen Basic Moves of the Real Sword, Chen Zong already felt the obvious benefits. That was, he could better control the sword, and his sword techniques were more flexible. He could be firm or soft, strong or weak.
Different sword techniques had different ways of exerting force. Perhaps most of them were the same, but there must be something unique in them. Chen Zong had a vague understanding of this, but it was not clear enough.
The Lightning Flash Sword Technique had seven moves in total. It was a sword technique that used other techniques of exerting force to vibrate the sword to produce flashes of light and thunder. It emphasized the coexistence of light and sound.
The Hidden Thunder Move was the starting move, and the Booming Thunder Move was the ending move.
Outside, the rainstorm was still pouring down, showing no signs of weakening. Chen Zong read the Lightning Flash Sword Technique several times and meditated on it. Then he walked into the cave, drew his sword, and displayed the Hidden Thunder Move.
His right hand was injured, so it was not suitable for him to practice sword techniques. He practiced with his left hand.
His palm trembled as he exerted force, and the sword vibrated along with it. There was a faint sound, as if lightning was hidden in the dark clouds, accumulating power.
For any Foundation Establishment Martial Arts, the starting move was very important. It was related to the execution of the later moves.
He kept adjusting himself. The higher the frequency of his palm trembling, the faster the sword vibrated, and the more obvious the muffled sound was.
He drew his sword!
Deep Thunder Move!
The muffled sound instantly intensified. Then, under the second move, it became very intense, like rolling thunder.
Booming Thunder Move!
One move followed by another. At first, it was powerful, and then there was a flash of light, which became very intense.
The last move was the Booming Thunder Move.
The momentum and the flash were completely mixed, turning into an astonishingly strong light that pierced out.
After three times, he reached the Beginner Level of the Lightning Flash Sword Technique.
This kind of cultivation speed was many times faster than what he had experienced in the past.
This was due to the fact that Chen Zong's four foundational sword techniques had reached the Minute Subtlety realm, the fact that he had reached the first level of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Technique, and the fact that his understanding and control of sword techniques had improved.
After 30 times, the Lightning Flash Sword Technique had reached the Small Accomplishment.
After 100 times, the Lightning Flash Sword Technique had reached the Great Accomplishment.
The Perfection Realm above the Great Accomplishment was not something that could be achieved by hard work.
However, the Foundation Establishment Sword Technique at the Great Accomplishment Realm was almost useless to him. The Perfection Realm was only subtle. Only when he reached the Imperceptible Realm would there be obvious effects.
Taking advantage of the break, Chen Zong walked to the entrance of the cave again and looked outside.
The rainstorm was continuous, and it seemed like the world was about to be flooded. Fortunately, the entrance of the cave was high. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the water poured in.
The sky was dark and gloomy. Countless dark clouds condensed one after another, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Countless lights flashed in the dark clouds, like electric snakes swimming, making muffled and violent sounds. The sounds entered his ears.
Looking at it, Chen Zong suddenly had an epiphany.
In a moment, he drew his sword and continued to practice the Lightning Flash Sword Technique. Every time he made a move, the image of electric snakes swimming with great momentum flashed in his mind. Unknowingly, his sword technique was getting closer and closer.
After an unknown number of times, Chen Zong suddenly felt that the swordsmanship displayed by the sword in his hand seemed to have an obvious change. A feeling of harmony arose spontaneously.
The Perfection Realm of the Lightning Flash Sword Technique!
"So fast!" Chen Zong was amazed.
A stronger foundation and a suitable environment finally created the miracle that he cultivated the Lightning Flash Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm in less than half a day.
This kind of miracle was almost impossible to replicate.
The real problem was to reach the Imperceptible Realm from the Perfection Realm.
Chen Zong understood this point, so he did not deliberately force it. He began to practice the Diffraction Sword Technique.
In the battle with the snake man, he had some understanding of the Diffraction Shadow. Now, he wanted to deepen that understanding.
The Diffraction Shadow of the Great Accomplishment Realm was displayed. The eight sword lights did not appear at the same time. Under Chen Zong's control, they appeared one by one in an uncertain order.
Then, the eight sword lights appeared separately. They were not lined up in a row, nor were they arranged in a front and back. Instead, they appeared in a chaotic way, which looked more random.
As he practiced, Chen Zong stopped. He was like a statue. All kinds of understanding of the Diffraction Shadow of the Diffraction Shadow emerged in his mind, as if he had broken some shackles.
Chen Zong knew that he had comprehended all the essentials of Splitting Light and Fleeting Shadow and had broken through to the Consummate Realm.
The perfect level of Diffraction Shadow still had eight sword lights, but the eight sword lights could be controlled more freely, and their power was indirectly increased.
Now that Chen Zong had reached the Consummate Realm of Diffusing Light and Seizing Shadows, another enlightenment naturally emerged in his mind. It was the enlightenment of Diffusing Light and Leaving No Shadow.
"So that's how it is …" He suddenly felt enlightened.
Chen Zong practiced the nine guided movements of Split Light and Shadow. He finished the eighth movement very smoothly. In the past, he was always stuck at this point, unable to perform the ninth movement in a row.
His movements did not stop at all, and the ninth movement was smoothly executed.
His comprehension became clearer.
Over and over again, after thirty times, Chen Zong finished the nine movements and slashed out with his sword. Out of the eight sword lights, four of them instantly disappeared, turning into shadows and merging with the other four sword lights, causing the four sword lights to become even more dazzling and their power to multiply.
Diffusing Light and Leaving No Shadow — Entry Level!
In terms of attack power, the entry level of Diffusing Light and Seizing Shadow was better than the advanced level of Diffusing Light and Seizing Shadow, and its consumption of Qi and Blood was also doubled.
"The entry level of Diffusing Light and Leaving No Shadow is a little stronger than the Sword-explosion Style." Chen Zong made a judgment by comparison.
After consolidating and exhausting his Qi and Blood, he used the True Sword Skill to recover.
He had mastered the first level of the True Sword Skill, and could start the second level.
The second level's circulation route was based on the first level, and there were slight changes. That slight change immediately increased the speed of cultivation and Qi and Blood recovery of the True Sword Skill.
Thirty percent!
The Qi and Blood were astonishingly sharp. When it was channeled in his body, Chen Zong felt a slight tingling pain, as if the tip of a sword had gently scratched him.
"Hmm … The True Sword Skill itself is superior to the Human Level Superb Level. It emphasizes the Qi and Blood as swords. The higher the level of cultivation, the sharper the Qi and Blood, and the power of the sword will increase accordingly." Chen Zong pondered and found the reason.
"My physique hasn't broken through the limit, but its strength can still continue to increase. Only then can I withstand the power of the higher level of the True Sword Skill."
Chen Zong estimated that with the current strength of his bones and muscles, he could only withstand the third level of the True Sword Skill. The fourth level would be impossible.
"The Chen family's Huyang Bone-Strengthening Ointment has the effect of strengthening bones. But, how can I strengthen the tendons and muscles better?"
For a moment, Chen Zong couldn't think of a way, so he put it aside for the time being. After his Qi and Blood recovered, he began to cultivate the Wind Stepping Steps.
After numerous life-and-death battles, Chen Zong had used the Wind Stepping Steps many times. In the face of danger, he had a deeper understanding of the Wind Stepping Steps to save his life.
After cultivating it over and over again, his Qi and Blood would recover when it was exhausted.
One step, two steps …
Three steps!
