Winter Goes and Spring Comes
Time trickled by. In the blink of an eye, winter had passed and spring had begun.
Above the Imperial City, the mottled morning light sprinkled down. It contained traces of vitality, giving life to withered trees and new shoots to sprout. Vitality was everywhere.
After the disaster, the Qitian Peak returned to its former tranquility.
That day, Chang Mingyang ruthlessly attacked and turned the Qitian Peak into ruins. He also took away all the treasures of the Chambers of Commerce, turning the Qitian Peak into a barren land without any vitality.
However, the treasures of the Chambers of Commerce were only superficial. Foundational items like the Heavenly Saint Spiritual Pearl and the Elixir Matrix were not taken away. They were all properly stored in the Inner Space.
The foundational items were still there. In just a few days, the Qitian Peak became lively again. Compared to before, everyone was even more united.
Chu Xingyun was still the talk of the town. His appearance was like a miracle. In just half a year, he had created one magnificent feat after another and caused a great commotion.
However, after this incident, there were fewer and fewer rumors about Chu Xingyun. He gradually faded out of the Imperial City. Very few people saw him in the Imperial City.
Many people guessed that Chu Xingyun had been depressed and left the Imperial City after his Spiritual Ocean was destroyed.
After all, those who lost their Spiritual Ocean had nothing to do with martial arts. It was normal for them to leave the Imperial City and find a place to live in seclusion for the rest of their lives.
In the depths of the Qitian Peak, in a forest on the other side of the river, there was an open space by the river. At the moment, there was a black-haired young man standing there quietly.
This young man was extremely handsome. His face was like a sculpture. His features were distinct and angular. Under his thick black hair, his eyebrows were straight and his eyes were bright. His lips and nose were alluring. If one was not careful, they would fall in love with him.
Such a handsome man was unparalleled in the world.
At the moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a spiritual sword on his knees. His eyes were closed and his breath was melodious. It was as if he had become one with the world. No one could sense his existence.
Time slowly flowed by. The sun rose and set, the moon was full and the moon was waning. Cultivation seemed to have no end.
On this day, the handsome young man's eyes suddenly opened. He stretched out a finger and suddenly stabbed out. His spiritual energy turned into a sword and pierced into a huge rock in front of him.
Puchi!
The boulder let out a soft sound. Immediately after, a muffled rumbling sound could be heard. The long river behind the boulder was directly cut in half. Water splashed and gravel flew in all directions, majestically rushing into the distance.
"Your strength has improved again." At this moment, an old figure walked out of the forest and came to the river. He saw the hideous sword marks on the river bank and his face was filled with shock.
The handsome young man retracted his finger. His eyes seemed to be eternally dim. He calmly looked at the old man and replied, "I was just lucky to have condensed the Azure Lotus Sword Body. Otherwise, the power of that finger would only be fifty percent."
"Azure Lotus Sword Body?" Mowang Gong was even more shocked. He jumped and came to the front of Chu Xingyun.
Under his careful observation, Chu Xingyun's body was releasing a sharp Sword Qi.
This Sword Qi was not intentional. Instead, it was released naturally. Every inch of his flesh, bones, and even his pores were emitting Sword Qi that would never dissipate.
Mowang Gong's eyes narrowed and a black light flashed. He instantly saw through Chu Xingyun's body.
In his vision, in the center of Chu Xingyun's Dantian, there was a delicate Azure Lotus with nine petals. The Sword Qi was released from this lotus.
"The Sword Qi from the body and the Spiritual Sea as the lotus. It really is the Azure Lotus Sword Body!" Mowang Gong suddenly exclaimed.
Swordsmen were sharp objects. The sharpness of the sword could split the world.
Swordsmen controlled swords and filled their bodies with sharp Sword Qi, becoming one with the sword.
The so-called Sword Body was to cause a change in the Spiritual Sea. Any Spiritual Energy released from the Spiritual Sea would carry the sharpness of the sword and fill the entire body. It would allow the Sword Cultivator's every movement to carry a trace of the spirit of the sword.
The person who had the Sword Body still had a body of flesh and blood. But to some extent, his body had become a sword.
Using the body as a sword was the essence of the Sword Body.
"After the reconstruction of the Spiritual Sea, there is a trace of the essence of the Azure Lotus in the depths of your Spiritual Sea. This essence is the lifelong understanding of the Martial Emperor of the Azure Lotus. It is normal that you use it as the foundation to form the Azure Lotus Sword Body."
Mowang Gong did not stop talking. He continued, "But I remember that you have already practiced the Tempering and Life Formula. Do you feel uncomfortable with two kinds of physiques appearing in your body at the same time?"
The Life Tempering and Life Formula was the most domineering Body Tempering Martial Technique. When practiced to the Perfect Realm, one's body would be like the world and immortal.
As for the Green Lotus Sword Body, it was the body that countless sword cultivators dreamed of. It was able to transform one's body into a sword.
The two were completely different!
"The 'Life Refinement Technique' focuses on the two words, 'Life Refinement Technique'. It uses life force as the source to refine the body, while the 'Green Lotus Sword Body' uses spiritual power as the source to transform into a sword. Although the two are different, there will not be any conflict."
Chu Xingyun smiled indifferently. He stretched out his right palm and exerted a little force.
Buzz!
Under Mowang Gong's gaze, Chu Xingyun's palm actually emitted a hint of colored glaze. It was crystal clear, warm and beautiful like jade, but it also emitted a vigorous aura.
"This is … Glass Body?" Mowang Gong's voice was filled with astonishment.
The fourth stage of the Life Tempering Art was the Glass Body. The body had the color of glass and was tough and indestructible. It could even withstand the attack of Yang Energy. It was extremely powerful.
"That's right." Chu Xingyun nodded his head and continued, "After escaping from death a few days ago, I have successfully entered the fourth stage of the Life Refinement Technique. At the same time, I have also formed the Green Lotus Sword Body."
"In my opinion, the two do not repel each other. The Life Refinement Technique condenses a powerful body like a sword body. The Green Lotus Sword Body releases the sharpness of a sword like a sword spirit. The existence of the two complements each other and is instead a perfect match."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's explanation, even an existence like Mowang Gong had his mouth wide open. He was deeply convinced and shocked by Chu Xingyun's boldness and understanding of cultivation.
"A disaster allowed your cultivation to rise by three levels and enter the Fifth Sky of the Earth Spirit Realm. At the same time, you have also comprehended the Glass Body and the Green Lotus Sword Body, perfectly merging the two together. Now, even I cannot see through your strength." Mowang Gong's expression was very complicated. It was the first time he had seen such a monstrous talent.
"In the moment of life and death, it can often stimulate one's shocking potential. Not to mention, my Spirit Sea was selflessly given by Luo Lan. Within it, there is also her hard work."
Chu Xingyun said to Mowang Gong. His gaze shifted and deeply stared ahead. It was as if he could see the beautiful girl in the light green dress smiling at him.
