"Oh well, let's test the level of this kid's swordplay." Xiang Kuang's expression was solemn as he pushed his left palm forward. Circles of earth-yellow light rippled out like ripples on the surface of water. They circled towards Lu Xiaotian.
At this time, under the effect of the Strong Monkey Wine, Lu Xiaotian's spiritual power had a considerable increase and even touched the threshold of breaking through to the Middle-stage of the Nascent Soul stage. This allowed Lu Xiaotian to further exert the true sharpness of the sword embryo.
The sword embryo left behind by the Ethereal Swordmaster could wipe out Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Anyone below the Advanced Stage would definitely die if they encountered it. Even the Xuan Yan Ghostly Lord, who was in the Advanced Stage of the Ghostly King Stage and could massacre an entire city in a fit of rage, was no match for the Ethereal Sword Embryo. If they did not leave via the Teleportation Formation, they would have died too.
Perhaps Lu Xiaotian's powers and mastery were still far from Xiang Kuo's, but the Ethereal Sword Embryo's sharpness was something that even Xiang Kuo could not underestimate.
Xiang Kuo did not hold back when he used the True Meaning of Earth this time. In reality, with his current mastery level, he could not fully control the True Meaning of Earth. Even if he wanted to hold back, it was not realistic.
Lu Xiaotian's powers increased tremendously with the help of the Strong Monkey Wine. In a short period of time, he was close to becoming one with the sword. He was the sword and the sword was the body. Wherever the sword tip pointed, Lu Xiaotian had the illusion that he could ignore the shackles of space. It was as if there were no restraints and there was nowhere in the world that he could reach.
However, this carefree feeling quickly slowed down. Circles of yellow light rippled outwards and Lu Xiaotian felt as if he was trapped in an endless swamp. This swamp had an endless suction force.
This suction force was similar to the gravitational force that Lu Xiaotian encountered in the Fallen Star Cave of the Stone Golems. It was sticky, but different. In the Fallen Star Cave, there was only an extremely pure gravitational force. It sucked people down. However, the suction force in this yellow light had no direction. It was up and down, left and right, but it also seemed to be everywhere. In fact, Lu Xiaotian couldn't even feel how powerful this True Intent of Earth was.
But this was where the True Intent of Earth was truly formidable. It was precisely because one couldn't sense the source of its strength that one felt as if one's entire body had sunk into an inexplicable quagmire, unable to detect any flaws, and naturally unable to break through it. At this moment, Lu Xiaotian finally understood the helplessness that Patriarch Mang Xiao felt when he fought with Xiang Kuo. Being trapped within the True Intent of Earth, even if he wanted to use an escape technique to escape, it was impossible.
Lu Xiaotian struggled left and right, but he realized that there was a way to break through this True Intent of Earth. The reason why it was called a way was because it was indeed a way. In a situation where he couldn't understand the True Intent of Earth, he could only use brute force to break it open. The reason why this wasn't a solution was because in a competition of brute force, one person could defeat ten people with brute force. Let him compete with a great cultivator like Xiang Kuo to see whose magic power was more profound. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
"Master, it isn't difficult to break through this old man's method." At this moment, a voice resounded within Lu Xiaotian's body. It was the Magnolia Purpurea that had always been residing within Lu Xiaotian's body.
"What method is there?" Lu Xiaotian was startled. The Magnolia Purpurea was an extremely powerful aid to him. Although it didn't have much attacking power, at a crucial moment, if he was in a place where spiritual herbs and spiritual trees were flourishing, he could extract the life essence of these spiritual plants and divert the attacks that he was receiving.
In addition, through the Magnolia Purpurea, Lu Xiaotian's control of the underground wasn't inferior to that of the surface. It was even more precise and meticulous.
Lu Xiaotian's heart stirred. The Magnolia Purpurea stood on the ground, and this Xiang Kuo was an earth-type cultivator. Perhaps there really was a way.
"Master, don't resist. Close your eyes and use your heart to comprehend." The moment the Magnolia Purpurea's voice fell, a mass of green and lustrous light transformed into countless green threads that dispersed into Lu Xiaotian's limbs. When it reached Lu Xiaotian's skin, Lu Xiaotian suddenly felt as though his body was breathing. He could feel the rich earth-type spiritual energy in the surroundings. He could even feel the pulsation of the earth-type spiritual energy. It was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Some places had more spiritual energy, while others had less.
But overall, although the spiritual energy looked complicated, its distribution was extremely orderly. It was just that the coordination between them wasn't very tight. There seemed to be a few flaws that could be found.
"Could this be the True Intent of Earth that Xiang Kuo displayed? Yes, Xiang Kuo's control of the True Intent of Earth isn't very perfect. There are flaws that can be found. It's just that with my current realm, I can't detect any flaws at all. I didn't expect the Magnolia Purpurea to be able to detect it. " Lu Xiaotian was delighted. He thought about how the Magnolia Purpurea's abilities were mostly based on the earth. She was originally very biased towards earth-type spiritual energy. It wasn't impossible for her to have a talent in this aspect. This Magnolia Purpurea was really mystical.
Originally, Lu Xiaotian was trapped in this yellow halo like a trapped beast in a secret room. He couldn't find a way out at all. But now, with the help of the Magnolia Purpurea, he discovered that this secret room actually had an exit. If he forced his way out, with his strength, even if he died from exhaustion, he wouldn't be able to escape. But if he took the correct path to exit, it would be effortless.
The Sword Embryo that had fused with Lu Xiaotian swayed slightly. After a few strange twists, it flashed out of the yellow halo and went straight for Xiang Kuo. The Sword Embryo flashed like lightning. Xiang Kuo was shocked. He gave up on controlling the yellow ripples and extended his palm forward. The Five-Colored Flood Dragon Head Staff repelled Lu Xiaotian.
"How is this possible!" Under the shock, the yellow ripples collapsed. Xiang Kuo repelled Lu Xiaotian with his staff, but he didn't continue to attack. Looking at Lu Xiaotian, his eyes were filled with disbelief. "Brother Dongfang, how did you do it?"
"You're asking me? How would I know? In fact, I don't even know what's going on with that True Intent of Earth of yours. Where are the pressure points? It's just that I'm not sure how I managed to break free from it. Perhaps Brother Kuang's True Intent of Earth itself isn't complete. Otherwise, with my strength, how could I possibly break free from it?"
Lu Xiaotian shook his head in confusion. At the same time, he was secretly shocked. Just now, he was focused on finding the flaw in Xiang Kuo's True Intent of Earth and didn't think of this aspect. He naturally knew how he found the flaw in the True Intent of Earth. It wasn't his own ability, but Magnolia Purpurea's innate ability. But Lu Xiaotian naturally wouldn't tell Xiang Kuo about Magnolia Purpurea.
