(Xiao Fang is here to collect his lunch box. There are dishes and meat to eat.)
What did it mean to press forward courageously?
What did it mean to be irresistible?
What did it mean to be unstoppable?
This sword strike was a vivid illustration of this.
Sword Intent Basic Style!
Sword Force Second Heaven!
The manifestation of the true meaning of the sword!
Void Sword Force!
Break! Break!
Break! Break! The starlight fist was pierced through. The tiny but terrifying sword continued to pierce through the thick arm of the starlight giant.
The starlight giant was formed by the combination of countless starlight and spiritual energy. It was not made of flesh and blood, but it was many times stronger. Its toughness was comparable to a low-grade spiritual weapon.
But under the Red Jade Sword, it was like a piece of cardboard. It was easily pierced through and torn apart.
Fang Xingchen was shocked. He continued to absorb starlight and spiritual energy to replenish his energy. His strength continued to explode as he tried to block Chen Zong's attack. But he found it difficult to do so.
All of the obstacles were destroyed.
Shock, fear, and indignation.
He had not even unleashed his full strength. Was he going to be defeated?
Fang Xingchen had inherited the Taiyuan Divine Path, and his cultivation had increased continuously. He was in high spirits and was preparing to defeat Chen Zong to avenge his humiliation and prove himself as the number one genius of the Taiyuan Sky Sect.
But now …
Fang Xingchen did not give up resisting. Since he could not block Chen Zong's attack, he might as well counterattack.
The other giant hand was raised. It suddenly released an extremely shocking aura. With a flip of the hand, it could summon clouds and rain as it slammed down.
Rumble!
It was as if an ancient mountain was pressing down.
Then, the five fingers of the starlight giant hand bent and pressed down. A strong force of heaven and earth gathered from all directions. It was as if the entire world had been absorbed into the five fingers of the giant hand.
The giant hand continued to expand. It was as if it covered the sky and covered the sun.
The extremely terrifying aura caused the rocks below to collapse inch by inch.
Taiyuan Divine Path, Heavenly Imprisoning Hand!
This move was ten times stronger than the previous one.
It was because Fang Xingchen had used it himself. Now, he was using the body of the starlight giant. There was a huge difference in power.
Suppress!
Chen Zong's expression became more and more serious. This move put him under immense pressure. It was as if this pressure was going to crush his body.
This move could easily crush an ordinary Extreme Sixth Stage Mortal Realm warrior.
But Chen Zong wasn't someone an ordinary warrior of the Sixth Tier of the Mortal Realm could compare to. Using his Mind Mystery Art, he moved like a fish, weaving through the terrifying pressure.
The mysteries of the Heart Sword Dao began to reveal itself bit by bit.
Do as you please, follow your heart, and be unrestrained. You should not be affected by the outside world.
His five fingers pressed down like heavenly pillars, like a heavenly cage, trying to imprison Chen Zong. Chen Zong's breath was erratic, shuttling through the countless gaps in the pressure.
"Impossible!" Fang Xingchen was increasingly astonished.
He was well aware of how powerful this move was, and he had fully grasped this move. However, he was unable to suppress Chen Zong, and he couldn't even lock onto him. He could only feel that Chen Zong's figure was incomparably nimble, and his aura was erratic, making it difficult to lock onto him.
The greatest power of the Heavenly Imprisoning Hand was to combine the power of heaven and earth to suppress the target, making it difficult for the target to move. If one couldn't lock onto the target's breath, this move would be useless, just like now. The crimson sword light shuttled through the starlight giant, breaking all the connection points.
Pop! Pop!
Pop! Pop! The ten-foot tall starlight giant kept trembling, and strands of starlight were emitted from its body.
When the crimson sword light pierced through the starlight giant's back, the starlight giant's body kept on exploding. Its arms exploded, turning into countless starlight and spiritual energy in the air. Then, its shoulders exploded, its thighs exploded, its body exploded, and its head exploded …
Fang Xingchen's figure appeared. He kept on retreating in the midst of the explosions until he reached the foot of the mountain. His feet crushed countless rocks, leaving behind long scratches.
His face was pale, and he looked dispirited. His eyes were dull.
Fang Xingchen was dealt a huge blow. He stared at Chen Zong, who was at the peak of the mountain. He should have been the one standing there.
Retracting his gaze, Fang Xingchen lowered his head slightly, turned, and left in large strides. He no longer had the power of heaven and earth that he had come with. Instead, he looked a little desolate. The contrast was great, and it made one's heart ache.
Looking at Fang Xingchen's departure, Chen Zong's heart was calm.
He had to admit that Fang Xingchen was indeed very strong. If he had only cultivated the Gray Feather Mystic Void Technique, it would have been hard to predict the outcome of this battle. He might even have been defeated by Fang Xingchen. However, there were no ifs. What he cultivated was the Heart Sword Dao.
The Mind Sword Way was of a higher grade than the Taiyuan Divine Way, but that was not all. The more advanced the inheritance, the more acupoints one could open, and the purer and stronger spiritual energy one could cultivate. It also had obvious benefits in other aspects.
For example, it would allow one to better comprehend the power of heaven and earth, better understand the true meaning, and so on.
It could be said that one step ahead would lead to many steps ahead.
The gap between them had been decided from the beginning.
Moreover, Chen Zong did not use his full strength in this battle.
At least, he did not use his late-stage Third Level of the Mortal Realm, nor did he use the Heart Sword Questioning Heart.
"Who in the same generation can make me use my full strength?" Chen Zong looked into the distant sky. His gaze became deep and vast.
Cang Gu's Holy Son?
He was not sure. Cang Gu's Holy Son was indeed more outstanding than Fang Xingchen. Coming from a holy land, his legacy should be better than the Taiyuan Sacred Dao. Therefore, he was definitely more powerful than Fang Xingchen, but whether he could make Chen Zong use his full strength was still unknown.
After all, Cang Gu's Holy Son was making a breakthrough, and so was Chen Zong.
Then, the Tianlan Saintess?
Indeed, during the battle at the Dragon Transformation Lake, Chen Zong felt that the Tianlan Saintess was more difficult to deal with than Cang Gu's Holy Son. However, that was under the environment of the Dragon Transformation Lake. If they were on flat ground, she would not be stronger than Cang Gu's Holy Son.
If Cang Gu's Holy Son and the Tianlan Saintess were not enough, then who in the same generation could make him use his full strength?
Suddenly, Chen Zong could not help but shake his head and smile.
"I got a little carried away." Chen Zong secretly smiled bitterly.
Perhaps, it was difficult for him to find an opponent in the same generation.
But, were his opponents only in the same generation?
No, his real opponents were the previous generation, and even the generation before that.
His Master was still unconscious and needed the antidote for the demonic poison. With his current strength, could he obtain the antidote for the demonic poison?
Difficult.
So, what right did he have to be proud?
What right did he have to be complacent?
Thinking of this, the feeling of loneliness at the top dissipated like smoke and disappeared without a trace. It was replaced by a fighting spirit.
The Third Layer of the Extreme Mortal Realm was only the beginning of the Transcendent Realm. There were even higher realms beyond that. He still had a long way to go. Moreover, the Heart Sword Dao was just the beginning.
Thinking of this, Chen Zong leaped down and turned into a wisp of smoke under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, drifting away with the wind.
…
The second battle with Fang Xingchen had established Chen Zong's supreme position in the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect. From then on, no one doubted Chen Zong's strength.
As for why Chen Zong was able to defeat Fang Xingchen, everyone paid more attention to the second layer of the Grand Sword Force and the second layer of the Sword Intent. At the same cultivation level, Chen Zong surpassed Fang Xingchen in both aspects. In addition, the power Chen Zong used was obviously a type of power that was fused with Spirit Energy but was stronger than Spirit Energy. It was reasonable for him to defeat Fang Xingchen.
There were also people who suspected that Chen Zong did not cultivate the Gray Feather Profound Void Way, but there was no evidence. Moreover, even if Chen Zong did not cultivate the Gray Feather Profound Void Way, no one would pursue the matter. It was a personal opportunity.
In a palace in Zhen Yuan Mountain, only Chen Zong was present.
As a condition for accepting the challenge, he had to read the various ancient books collected by Zhen Yuan Mountain. Now, Chen Zong had arrived.
The number of ancient books collected by Zhen Yuan Mountain was more than ten percent more than that of Gray Feather Mountain. Chen Zong flipped through them one by one. Some of them were similar to Gray Feather Mountain, but some were different. The different parts were what Chen Zong focused on.
Holding an ancient book in his hand, Chen Zong flipped through it page by page. His eyes glowed as he took in the contents of every page clearly and memorized them.
His photographic memory allowed Chen Zong to better remember the contents of the ancient books so that he could slowly comprehend them when he returned.
After spending a few days, Chen Zong finally finished reading all the ancient books collected by Zhen Yuan Mountain.
Sixty percent of them were similar to Gray Feather Mountain, and forty percent were different.
After returning to the Heart Sword House, Chen Zong immediately went into seclusion.
"The opened acupoints of this spiritual technique can be integrated into the fourth level of the Mysterious Mind Art."
Different cultivation techniques opened different acupoints. Even if the acupoints were the same, the order in which they were opened was different, resulting in differences in the spiritual energy cultivated.
The opening of the acupoints of the Mysterious Mind Art also had its own order. It did not only have to perfect all twelve acupoints.
After spending some time, Chen Zong perfected the fourth level of the Mysterious Mind Art to the Peerless Level. He then began to simulate how to open the acupoints.
Again and again, he simulated and tried again and again. He learned from his failures and finally succeeded.
When Chen Zong came out of seclusion, it was already half a month later. The fourth and fifth levels of the Mysterious Mind Art had been perfected.
"It's enough for me to cultivate for quite some time, but I can't fall behind in the following cultivation techniques." Chen Zong said to himself.
Unfortunately, the other five mountains did not respond to his request. At this time, Chen Zong received a message from Rainbow Fall Mountain's Mountain Lord.
After a few words, Chen Zong was overjoyed. Rainbow Fall Mountain's Mountain Lord had actually agreed to let him browse through the ancient records collected by Rainbow Fall Mountain.
The ancient records collected by Rainbow Fall Mountain were similar to those collected by Gray Feather Mountain. Seventy percent of them were similar, and the remaining thirty percent were different.
Unfortunately, it only allowed Chen Zong to perfect the sixth level of the Mysterious Mind Art.
"With my current cultivation speed, it will take me a lot of time to reach the sixth level. I still have time to find and perfect it." Chen Zong said to himself.
Although the degree of perfection was not ideal, with so many cultivation techniques and martial arts, it had enriched Chen Zong's foundation. With the accumulation of precipitation, Chen Zong's martial arts attainment had an obvious improvement.
This improvement did not have any benefits in a short period of time, but it had indescribable benefits for his future cultivation.
"Next, I will begin a long seclusion." Chen Zong said to himself.
