Clear Cloud Pavilion covered an area of several square meters. In addition to a twenty-meter-tall pavilion, there was also a backyard with many independent small courtyards. These were the residences of the upper echelons of Clear Cloud Pavilion.
Now that Chen Zong was the Pavilion Master, the best courtyard, Clear Cloud Courtyard, naturally belonged to him.
The courtyard was deep and had a small pond with lotus flowers. Beside the pond was a small pavilion. Chen Zong sat in the pavilion, quietly comprehending the Heart Sword Sutra.
Now that he had cultivated the three top grade mortal level cultivation methods and martial skills to the highest point, he had grasped a martial intent. If he wanted to improve any further, it would be incomparably difficult. But the Heart Sword Sutra was broad and profound. After several months of meditation, he had only managed to comprehend a tiny bit of it. Even if it was only a tiny bit, it was still a considerable harvest.
Chen Zong was very clear that compared to other Secret Arts and Martial Arts, the Heart Sword Sutra was his foundation and the most important thing.
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open and a black-robed figure strode in.
As the black-robed figure stepped in, a tyrannical aura filled the air. It blew over like a gale, causing the sand and stones in the courtyard to fly, the trees in the corner to sway, the water in the pond to ripple, and the lotus leaves on the pond to sway crazily.
As soon as the black-robed man approached the courtyard, Chen Zong already knew.
At a glance, Chen Zong also clearly saw the appearance of this black-robed man.
He didn't look young, estimated to be fifty or sixty years old. His appearance was somewhat similar to Clear Cloud Pavilion's Great Elder Lin Zhengyi. Chen Zong guessed that he had some relationship with Lin Zhengyi.
Moreover, the aura fluctuations of this person were very mysterious, making Chen Zong feel that they were not fluctuations of True Qi, but rather more powerful.
This kind of aura fluctuations were shockingly Spirit Energy fluctuations.
[This person is a Transcendent?]
Chen Zong couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, according to the standards of Blue Waves World, only Transcendent Realm masters could grasp Spirit Energy.
Soon after, Chen Zong recalled that this place was not the Blue Waves World, but the Spiritual Martial Sacred World. It was a world of a higher level than the Blue Waves World.
In Blue Waves World, the symbol of stepping into the Transcendent Realm was Spirit Qi and True Meaning, both of which were indispensable. As for the Pseudo Transcendent Realm, it referred to cultivators who had mastered Pseudo Spirit Qi and Minor True Meaning.
However, in the Lingwu Holy World, the hallmark of a Transcendent Realm master was their Spirit Energy and Transcendent Secret Force.
Between the two, neither could be missing. Only by grasping both would one be able to become a transcendent. However, comparatively speaking, the latter was more difficult.
After all, there weren't many people like Yang Chaofan, who was born extraordinary and grasped extraordinary secret powers.
Spirit Energy was much easier to grasp than Transcendent Secret Force, therefore, those below the Transcendent Realm who could grasp Spirit Energy were called half-step Transcendents.
After coming here for more than three months, Chen Zong was already very clear about one point. Late stage Foundation Establishment Realm was comparable to pseudo Transcendents of Blue Waves World, and the half-step Transcendents here might not be as strong as the true Transcendents of Blue Waves World, but they were not inferior by much.
The black-robed old man had a tall and muscular physique. His hands were clasped behind his back as he walked step by step towards Chen Zong. A raging wind howled as a terrifying aura directly slammed into Chen Zong. It was as though an invisible mountain was pressing down on him.
"Did Lin Zhengyi and Lin Gu send you here?" Not only was Chen Zong not suppressed, he even asked in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, neither fast nor slow.
The black-robed old man glared, and an even more violent aura surged out from his body. One could faintly hear a terrifying roar, as if ten thousand beasts were roaring.
Unfortunately, all of this seemed to be useless, and did not have the slightest effect on Chen Zong.
Not to mention a half-step Transcendent, even a true Transcendent Realm master would find it difficult to affect Chen Zong with just their aura.
"Young man, you're very good." The black-robed old man spoke with a vigorous voice, like rolling thunder, exploding in Chen Zong's ears, "But you're too young. You have talent, but you don't know how to deal with people. This is not good, you'll suffer losses."
"Oh, then how can I not suffer losses?" Chen Zong couldn't help but find it funny, and asked in a neither too fast nor too slow manner. This calm attitude suddenly made the black-robed old man a little surprised.
One had to know that he was a half-step Transcendent Realm master, one of the top masters in Purple Cloud City, while the other party was just a fifteen or sixteen year old boy. Even if his cultivation talent was outstanding, so what? At best, he was only at the ninth layer of the Foundation Realm.
A fifteen or sixteen year old ninth layer Foundation Realm master was indeed amazing, but the gap between him and a half-step Transcendent was huge. First of all, in terms of True Qi and Spirit Energy, the difference was at least ten times, which meant the difference in explosive power was also ten times.
Even if he didn't use any Martial Arts, just his Spirit Energy alone was enough to suppress the other party. If he used any Martial Arts, it would be even more terrifying. After all, using True Qi to activate Martial Arts and using Spirit Energy to activate Martial Arts were two different concepts. The difference was not ten times, but ten times or even twenty times.
As for Chen Zong being a half-step Transcendent, that was impossible. According to the black-robed old man's knowledge, there was no such young half-step Transcendent in the Blue Cloud Sect.
"The Sect sent you here, so just focus on being the Pavilion Master. Don't interfere with other matters. When the time comes, you will receive your share of benefits." The black-robed old man threw away the trace of doubt in his heart. His eyes were as majestic as thunder as he stared at Chen Zong and spoke word by word.
"Another vermin." Chen Zong laughed involuntarily and stood up.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth." The black-robed old man was angry. He was Lin Gu's uncle and Lin Zhengyi's brother, Lin Zhengchun.
In a fit of rage, Lin Zhengchun struck out with his palm. The momentum surged like a thunderclap, carrying an extremely terrifying aura as it blasted towards the pavilion. The astonishing palm pressure caused the pavilion to directly collapse, instantly shattering into pieces as if it had been swept away by a storm.
Although he was angry, Lin Zhengchun didn't use his full strength because he didn't dare.
His purpose was only to teach Chen Zong a lesson, suppress him, and make him behave. He didn't want to kill him. Otherwise, if the Sect's masters were to investigate this matter, no one would have a good ending.
A half-step Transcendent was indeed very strong, but compared to a true Transcendent, the difference was like heaven and earth.
A white light flashed in front of Chen Zong's eyes and he vaguely heard the sharp cry of a swan. A sword light pierced through the air and split the palm strike apart.
Lin Zhengchun was shocked.
He had only used thirty percent of his strength in this palm strike, but thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy was still terrifying. It was enough to suppress or even kill an ordinary 9th layer Foundation Realm cultivator. Chen Zong was an important disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect and was definitely a genius. His strength was naturally not something an ordinary 9th layer Foundation Realm cultivator could compare to, but he expected that thirty percent of his Spiritual Energy would be enough to suppress him.
He never imagined that a palm strike with thirty percent of his strength would be split apart by a single sword strike.
"Who are you?" Lin Zhengchun's heart became more and more dignified. That trace of doubt appeared again, "Could it be that you're one of the three True Disciples?"
Chen Zong couldn't help but be speechless. Even the three True Disciples were involved.
"No, I've seen three True Disciples. It's definitely not you." Lin Zhengchun shook his head. Immediately, an ominous glint flashed across his eyes as he stimulated fifty percent of his Spiritual Energy and sent out another palm strike.
In addition to using fifty percent of his Spiritual Energy, this palm strike also contained a Mortal Level High Grade Martial Skill. The palm strike contained a terrifying force that made the power even more condensed.
Chen Zong frowned slightly.
The power of this strike was really strong. According to the standards of the Blue Waves World, if one didn't count the True Meaning, it was equivalent to an early 1st layer Mortal Realm attack. It was indeed terrifying.
The Mortal Level Top Grade Illusory Fog Sky Cloud's True Qi was indeed astonishing, but it still couldn't compare to the opponent's Spiritual Energy.
The level of a Martial Skill and Realm only affected one's True Qi. It didn't affect the strength of a half-step Transcendent's Spiritual Energy. At most, it would affect the efficiency of transforming it into Spiritual Energy.
If one wanted to increase the power of their Spiritual Energy, they could only cultivate Spiritual Level Martial Skills.
Chen Zong knew that even if he stimulated the power of his True Qi to the extreme and used the Wind Beheading Sword Will, it would still be difficult for him to match this palm strike. This was the absolute difference in power.
However, there was a flaw in the opponent's palm strike.
Following the flaw, Chen Zong used all his strength and used the Wind Beheading Sword Will to attack.
A flaw would cause the power to be infinitely weakened. Under this sword strike, even the flowing wind could be easily cut open. That kind of sharpness was unparalleled.
Lin Zhengchun was shocked to the extreme.
Even a palm strike with fifty percent of his True Strength was cut open.
He couldn't believe it.
"You've given me two moves, and I'll give you one back." Chen Zong's voice was heard. Soon after, Bai Hongjian raised his sword in front of him. His calm eyes suddenly emitted an extremely shocking sharpness, causing Lin Zhengchun's eyelids to tremble. His heart could not help but skip a beat as if a great horror was coming.
Without hesitation, he immediately mobilized all of his Spiritual Energy. His palms were filled with Spiritual Energy as he waved them repeatedly to set up layers of defense in front of him. The layers stacked up and turned into a solid shield that was incomparably sturdy.
It was a Transcendent Stage High Mortal Level Martial Skill, Shield Palm. It was a pure defensive martial skill.
Lin Zhengchun believed that even if his opponent used any trump cards, he could still defend against it.
At the same time, Chen Zong swung his sword in an ordinary manner.
There seemed to be a stream of light flowing through the body of the sword that was like autumn water, making the sword even colder.
The moment the sword was swung, it had crossed dozens of meters and went straight for Lin Zhengchun.
Lin Zhengchun's eyes widened. He vaguely saw a faint stream of light that was almost transparent flash, and his heart palpitated for no reason.
With a cracking sound, the Shield Palm that he performed with all his might was cut open. After the terrifying force cut open the Shield Palm, it also cut open his Protective Spiritual Energy and Mortal Level High Inner Armor.
It was like a hot knife through butter, and nothing could stop it.
Lin Zhengchun was sent flying. There was a sword mark on his chest that was dripping with blood.
"That … That … That's …" Lin Zhengchun stopped in his tracks. His body was trembling, and his face was pale. He stammered, "Super … Transcendent …"
A Foundation Building Stage cultivator had mastered a Transcendent secret power that even he did not have.
Terrifying!
Horrifying!
Unimaginable!
It was only at this moment that Lin Zhengchun realized what kind of monster he had provoked.
He looked like he was only 15 or 16 years old, but he had already mastered a Transcendent secret power. He was sure that it was a real Transcendent secret power, not a half-step Transcendent secret power. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to cut open his Protective Spiritual Energy.
He was no match for him. He was no match for him once he used a Transcendent secret power. He could not even feel that kind of power, let alone defend against it.
