In the vast sky, there were no clouds for thousands of miles. A beam of light flew over from afar at an astonishing speed, creating a white stream of air as it traversed the sky.
The Blue Waves Sea was still as boundless as before. Its color was profound, as if it contained endless mysteries. Large ships sailed in the sea, breaking through the waves. Huge whales emerged from the surface of the sea, and large schools of fish shuttled back and forth under the sea.
With his wish fulfilled, Chen Zong left with Elder Cang Xuan and returned to the Blue Waves Continent.
After crossing the Blue Waves Sea, they once again set foot on the Blue Waves Continent, heading straight for the Taiyuan Continent.
Five months had already passed by the time Chen Zong saw the outline of the Taiyuan Heaven Sect.
Elder Cang Xuan brought Chen Zong back to Cangyu Mountain.
"Cultivate well." Elder Cang Xuan quickly left. After all, they had been gone for five months, and he had to see if anything had happened during this time.
Of course, five months wasn't a long time for experts, and could even be considered short. After all, a single closed door cultivation session wouldn't last for five months.
Returning to his cave dwelling, Chen Zong couldn't help but sigh. The cultivation environment of Chaotian Island was indeed very different from that of the Blue Waves Continent.
Sitting down cross-legged, Chen Zong began to cultivate.
A tyrannical aura spread out.
The defensive power of the Heart Sword House had been fully activated, and would seal off the aura undulations within. Thus, Chen Zong no longer needed to hide.
Late third layer of the extreme mortal realm!
On Chaotian Island, Chen Zong's first heart trial had brought him great benefits. In addition to a breakthrough in his Grand Sword Force, his cultivation had also increased, and he had opened his apertures, reaching the late third layer of the extreme mortal realm.
The increase in his cultivation had also brought about an increase in his strength.
After thinking about cultivating for a while, Chen Zong began to organize his cultivation.
Cultivation: Late third layer of the extreme mortal realm, opened 29 apertures.
Grand Sword Force: Second layer
True Intent: True Intent of Sword, True Intent of Metal, True Intent of Wind, True Intent of Thunder, True Intent of Fire, True Intent of Water.
Heart Sword Path: First three layers of the Heart Mysterious Art (peerless grade), Heart Sword basic form, Heart Questioning, no secret arts, no forbidden arts.
"The Force of Heaven and Earth is divided into nine layers. The first three layers correspond to the extreme mortal realm, the middle three layers correspond to the Earth Spirit realm, and the last three layers correspond to the Profound Heaven realm..... Chen Zong's eyes flickered as he thought to himself, "True intents have different levels as well. Profundity Prying, Manifestation, Congealing … My current True Intent is the Sword True Intent, which is at the peak of Profundity Prying. The next step is to break through to Manifestation. The other five True Intents are slightly inferior, but they are also at the peak of Profundity Prying.
.. of me................................
.....................................
. If he didn't open 12 apertures, he wouldn't be able to reach the peerless grade. Since the first three layers had reached the peerless grade, Chen Zong wouldn't lower himself to the peerless grade for the rest of the techniques.
"Let's see if I can read the techniques of the other mountains." Chen Zong said to himself. He frowned slightly. The possibility of this was not high.
After all, every mountain had its own inheritance and cultivation methods. Among these cultivation methods, some were the same, but some were different.
It wasn't a small matter to read the techniques of the other mountains. Chen Zong didn't have much confidence. He could only give it a try. If it didn't work, he would have to find another way.
Also, there was the application of the Heart Sword Path, which was the sword technique.
Basic form!
Heart Questioning Sword!
Currently, there were no movement techniques, no footwork techniques, no secret arts, and no forbidden arts.
But in the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Path, there were movement techniques, footwork techniques, secret arts, forbidden arts, and so on. If Chen Zong wanted to, he could cultivate it directly and then modify it and merge it with other techniques.
What he needed was time and energy.
He had fulfilled his wish on Chaotian Island. Now, he could calm down and go into closed-door cultivation.
However, Chen Zong, who had just decided to go into closed-door cultivation, suddenly received a message from elder Cang Xuan. He immediately rushed to Dark Feather Hall.
In Dark Feather Hall, elder Cang Xuan's expression wasn't very good. He only nodded when he saw Chen Zong arrive.
"Elder, why did you summon me?" Chen Zong didn't beat around the bush and directly asked. After all, the two of them had just returned to the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect.
"Zhenyuan Mountain sent news that Fang Xingchen has come out of closed-door cultivation and wants to fight with you again." Elder Cang Xuan said in a low voice, "After Fang Xingchen comes out of closed-door cultivation, his cultivation will reach the initial third layer of the Extreme Mortal stage. He will cultivate the Tai Yuan Saint Path and become even stronger."
Chen Zong's eyes flashed as his thoughts spun rapidly.
The only reason Fang Xingchen wanted to fight with him again was because he had lost face in the previous battle, and his reputation in the sect had suffered a blow. This time, he had inherited the Taiyuan Divine Way and broken through to the Third Tier of the Extreme Mortal Realm. His strength had increased tremendously compared to before, and it could be said that the difference was like heaven and earth.
Therefore, Fang Xingchen wanted to defeat him to prove his strength and prove that he was the most outstanding disciple in the Sect.
Challenge?
Sure, no problem.
"The Tai Yuan Saint Path is a supreme-grade inheritance and is even more profound than our Dark Feather Sect's Dark Feather Path. At the same cultivation level, it can unlock more apertures and has purer and stronger spiritual energy." Elder Cang Xuan continued, "Fang Xingchen's cultivation has broken through and is at the same level as you, Chen Zong. This battle is disadvantageous for you."
What he meant was that Chen Zong should not accept the challenge.
"Elder, I accept the challenge." Chen Zong's reply surprised elder Cang Xuan, but he soon felt relieved. This was Chen Zong's character. "However, I have a condition."
"Speak." Elder Cang Xuan was not surprised.
"If I win, I want to read all the books in Zhenyuan Mountain," Chen Zong said.
Elder Cang Xuan was stunned. He thought that Chen Zong would make some harsh request, but he did not expect it to be this.
Of course, this condition was considered very high. After all, a portion of the books in every mountain were hidden and precious. If Chen Zong wanted to read all of them, he would naturally include the hidden and precious ones.
"Alright." Elder Cang Xuan thought for a moment. Although he did not understand Chen Zong's intentions, he still agreed. "You can go back first. I will negotiate with Zhenyuan Mountain."
"Thank you, elder." Chen Zong bowed and left the Zhenyuan Sword Hall.
Fang Xingchen's challenge was not only his own intention, but also the support of the higher-ups of Zhenyuan Mountain.
But no matter what, Chen Zong could accept the challenge as long as he could read all the books in Zhenyuan Mountain.
Conversation and debate.
In the end, elder Cang Xuan brought good news.
Regardless of the outcome, Chen Zong could read all the books in Zhenyuan Mountain, except for the Taiyuan Grand Saint Technique.
The Taiyuan Grand Saint Technique was a part of the Taiyuan Grand Saint Path and was extremely important. Even many elders of Zhenyuan Mountain did not have the qualifications to read it. However, Chen Zong felt that it was good to be able to read other books. From the beginning, he had never thought of reading the Taiyuan Grand Saint Technique because it was impossible.
"The battle between you and Fang Xingchen will take place in nine days at the back of the mountain." Elder Cang Xuan said seriously, "In these nine days, you must cultivate well and improve as much as possible. Even if you can't win this battle, you must at least fight beautifully."
"Elder, I will win." Chen Zong said in an incomparably firm tone. His gaze was resolute, and there was a trace of sharpness in the depths of his eyes.
I will win!
This was unparalleled confidence, confidence that came from knowing his own limits.
This was because what he cultivated was not the Dark Feather Path, but the Heart Sword Path, which was even more profound than the Taiyuan Grand Saint Path.
Moreover, his cultivation was not at the initial third layer of the Extreme Mortal Stage, but the advanced third layer of the Extreme Mortal Stage.
No matter how he looked at it, he would not lose this battle unless Fang Xingchen underwent a huge transformation.
Although Chen Zong was full of confidence in himself, he would not underestimate Fang Xingchen because of this. There was no doubt that Fang Xingchen was a genius with outstanding talent and potential. He was a worthy opponent.
On the ninth day, Chen Zong did not feel nervous about his battle with Fang Xingchen. He continued to cultivate according to his plan.
He entered the Enlightenment Stage first.
The Enlightenment Stage was divided into seven stages. The first to third stages were suitable for pseudo Transcendents, while the fourth to seventh stages were suitable for Transcendents.
Each stage was more powerful than the one before. Chen Zong did not act rashly and entered the fourth stage first. The fourth stage was filled with the aura of True Meaning and was at the Prying Stage.
The Prying Stage, the more profound the Prying Stage was.
The fourth stage was filled with countless aura of True Meaning. It was very chaotic and there were also countless remnants of chaotic and fragmented consciousnesses. As Chen Zong entered, the remnant consciousnesses began to attack Chen Zong's consciousness and disturb Chen Zong's mind.
This was more than ten times more intense than the third stage. If Chen Zong's consciousness had not transformed and his mental strength had not transformed into spiritual sense, he would not have been able to withstand it with his powerful mental strength and would have been defeated within a few breaths.
However, Chen Zong's spiritual sense was now so powerful that it was even above that of an ordinary ninth layer Extreme Mortal Stage cultivator. Facing such chaotic consciousnesses, he did not feel any pressure at first, but as time passed, it gradually intensified.
Chen Zong immediately comprehended the Sword Intent.
The Sword Intent had reached the limit of the Prying Stage and was only a thin line away from the next stage. However, this thin line was like a natural chasm.
The fourth stage could not allow Chen Zong to break through the realm of the Sword Intent. It only allowed him to consolidate it. After that, Chen Zong began to comprehend the other five True Meanings.
The True Meanings comprehended by different martial artists were slightly different. As they collided and compared with the True Meanings comprehended by other martial artists, the five True Meanings comprehended by Chen Zong slowly improved until they reached the limit of the Prying Stage and consolidated.
Just like that, three days passed. Chen Zong's consciousness had reached its limit and he had to leave.
There were still six days before the battle with Fang Xingchen. Chen Zong returned to the Heart Sword House and went into seclusion for two days before entering the Enlightenment Stage again. This time, he entered the fifth stage.
The Path of True Meaning was divided into different stages. The Prying Stage was the first stage. Above it was Manifestation, above it was Solidification, and above that was Truth.
These four stages corresponded to the last four stages of the Enlightenment Stage.
The Fifth Stage of True Meaning was at the Manifestation Stage.
Once he entered the fifth stage, Chen Zong could feel an even more intense aura of True Meaning. His eyes could also see traces of different colors in the air. Those were the colors of True Meaning.
The aura of each True Meaning was more than three times stronger than that of the fourth stage. This meant that the Manifestation Stage of True Meaning was at least three times stronger than that of the Prying Stage. The difference was very obvious.
