Chapter 380: Chapter 217: Heart Sword Realm, Natural Formation!
Xu Yan had fully achieved a breakthrough to the Tongxuan Realm.
“Your disciple Meng Chong, broke through the Tongxuan realm and fully mastered it. Your Vajra Body’s power has doubled.”
Only a few days after Xu Yan broke through, Meng Chong also broke through. “Your disciple Su Lingxiu, made a minor achievement in breaking through the Tongxuan Realm. You managed to fully master the Tongxuan Realm in medical martial arts, resulting in further improvement.”
Su Lingxiu also made a minor breakthrough in the Tongxuan Realm.
Li Xuan continued to guide the trainees and students in the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy. Anyone who received his guidance saw their power skyrocket.
He also met Du Yuying and her maid Cui’er. Every now and then, he could hear the lovely maid mentioning Young Master Xu…
“This woman’s talent is not bad, bloodline is quite unique, and she possesses a special physique.”
Li Xuan quietly acknowledged Du Yuying, already a Great Grandmaster.
Ever since entering the Tomb of Heavenly Men and remedying her physical defects, her talent improved even more and she quickly broke through in power.
Li Xuan harboured some regrets in the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy since he had not found a suitable disciple.
“It’s time to go back.”
Li Xuan thought to himself.
As Xu Yan had already fully achieved the Tongxuan Realm, it was almost time for him to prepare to advance to the Divine Intent State, transforming once again, if he didn’t accumulate enough foundation.
However, Xu Yan would definitely not choose to break through at this point.
He would continue to build up his own foundation in order to transform and elevate when he broke through to the Divine Intent State.
“Now that Xu Yan is already a Spiritual Body, would his next transformation possibly transcend a Spiritual Body?”
Li Xuan was looking forward to it.
The higher the realm, the longer it takes to accumulate one’s foundation. If you want to accumulate a foundation faster, then consuming Spiritual Medicine is essential.
Su Lingxiu was likely already refining elixirs.
Only, the quality of the spiritual medicines in the Inner Domain is ultimately inferior.
Li Xuan left the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy, continued to travel and relax as he returned to Canglan Island.
“Your disciple Meng Chong has comprehended the second layer of sword intent, and you have fully mastered the second layer of sword intent.”
Meng Chong’s sword intent has made a breakthrough.
“Let’s go to the savage northern land and check it out. The Gate of the Ling Domain is there.”
Li Xuan thought of the Gate of the Ling Domain.
Ever since he casually slapped that frivolous Martial Arts Heavenly Man to death last time, he had not heard of any more Martial Arts Heavenly Men appearing in the Inner Domain.
It seemed that apart from that one, there were no other Martial Arts Heavenly Men in the Inner Domain.
“After all, in their eyes, this place is low and inferior, akin to the dwelling of pigs and dogs. Accustomed to a haughty existence, naturally no powerhouse would come to the Inner Domain.”
Li Xuan understood a bit more.
Both the Martial Arts Heavenly Man killed by Xu Yan and the one that he himself killed had come to the Inner Domain on missions, right?
As for what the missions were, none of it mattered anymore.
The men are all dead!
Li Xuan then headed towards that desolate northern land.
“The spiritual energy in the Ling domain probably can’t be compared to the Inner Domain. Due to this, they look down upon the Inner Domain.”
While there is nature’s spiritual energy in the border wilderness, the Heavenly Earth Lingji has faded and the Grand Azure Martial Dao cannot be practiced there.
And in the Inner Domain, although spiritual energy exists, and the Heavenly Earth Lingji is present, compared to the Ling Domain, there is probably a huge gap-
“Training in the Ling Domain would be easier and simpler. If Xu Yan wants to quickly accumulate his foundation and prepare for the transformation to break through the Divine Intent State, he probably has to go to the Ling Domain.” Although training in the Inner Domain does not affect practice, the speed of accumulating foundation is much slower than in the Ling Domain. This is inevitable.
The desolate northern land is covered in vast stretches of snow.
A huge portal, which reminds one of rippling water, stands between the heavens and the earth.
The portal is closed.
On Mount Tianbao Pavilion, the man with the purple crown and other higher ups are looking at each other. Things are not looking right!
The previous Martial Arts Heavenly Man who entered, just disappeared without a trace. No news of him was received.
The Martial Arts Heavenly Man who came after him was that seductive woman. Initially, there were news of her creating havoc.
She seemed debauched and the last time news was received, she seemed to be looking for handsome but powerful men!
Then, there was absolutely no news.
It was as if she evaporated from the face of the earth!
That was a Martial Arts Heavenly Man. Look at the Inner Domain, who can match her?
And, if fighting with a Martial Arts Heavenly Man, there would definitely be a huge commotion. Even if she was killed, there would not be such silence. Unless, someone killed her in just a few moves!
“Canglan Island!”
The man with the purple crown and others thought of this name.
Apart from the mysterious entity on Canglan Island, no one has such capabilities.
But, both Martial Arts Heavenly Men did not go to Canglan Island.
Their directions of travel had nothing to do with Canglan Island, and the location where the female Heavenly Man had last been seen was much too distant from the Island.
Moreover, all signs indicated that the individual on Canglan Island does not seem to have left the island.
“That predecessor is of high virtue, with unfathomable strength. He never deceived others by flaunting his cultivation levels. As the Heavenly Man of Martial Arts has not offended Canglan Island, he would naturally not take action,”
someone quietly suggested.
The others nodded in agreement.
That predecessor never oppressed others with his cultivation level. He was truly a virtuous sage whose cultivation level could only be looked up to.
The man with the purple crown agreed with this claim.
“What do you think happened to those two Heavenly Men? Wiry have they disappeared?”
Could there still be a valuable place in the Inner Domain worth the Heavenly Man’s exploration?
Besides, even if they were exploring a treasure land, it’s been so long, they should’ve come back by now. There shouldn’t be no trace of them as if they vanished into thin air.
The only plausible explanation was that they had been killed!
Could there be a second powerhouse hidden in the Inner Domain other than on Canglan Island?
“Could it be the Demon Lord?”
Someone commented seriously.
The purple-crowned man shook his head: “Impossible, the Demon Lord should be dead.”
Back then, that person went into the Inner Domain to kill the Demon Lord who was not at his peak. How could the Demon Lord possibly withstand that person?
Without a doubt, he had to be dead!
“Then there’s only one possibility left!”
Someone took a deep breath and uttered two words: “Xu Yan!”
Everyone suddenly became silent, they were shocked. It hadn’t been that long and yet, Xu Yan had killed a Heavenly Man.
Besides Xu Yan, not a second entity capable of killing a Heavenly Man could be found in the entire Inner Domain.
Meng Chong, although extremely strong, still fell slightly short.
“It’s plausible!”
The man with the purple crown earnestly agreed.
The enchanting lady, who vanished earlier, was looking for a handsome and powerful man.
As Xu Yan was both handsome and powerful, it was feared that she ran into him and was then killed by him!
“Xu Yan should be entering the Spirit Realm. I’m curious to see if those fellas in the Spirit Realm will continue to be so arrogant!”
A man gleamed with expectation.
The strong men in the Gate of Lingyu had been excessively bullying others. It was time someone taught them a lesson.
If they also treated Xu Yan in such a manner, their fate would be utter annihilation leaving not even ashes behind!
Li Xuan walked on the land of the north, he saw a large gate swirling like water ripples from a distance.
“Are those the strong individuals from Tianbao Pavilion?”
Li Xuan looked at the individuals on the mountains around the Tianbao Pavilion.
He used his divine intent to cover his surroundings, making him invisible to others.
Upon arriving at the Gate of Lingyu, Li Xuan stared at the large gate that resembled rippling water, “A gate formed by the Heaven and Earth Laws, is it naturally formed by the Taicang Laws of Heaven and Earth or is it man-made?”
Li Xuan was now familiar with the Heaven and Earth Laws, especially the Taicang Laws of Heaven and Earth.
After exploring the Gate of Lingyu with his divine intent, he discovered that the colossal gate was formed by the convergence of the Heaven and Earth Law’s power.
If it were man-made, the person able to isolate the Spirit Realm from the Inner Domain would have to be incredibly powerful.
“Even those at the Divine Skill Realm can’t achieve that, and it’s even more impossible for a Refining God Heavenly Man,”
Li Xuan pondered. What exactly happened to Taicang’s Heaven and Earth, which, with a single gate, connected the Inner Domain with the Spirit Realm, as if dividing the world into different regions.
He withdrew his divine intent, he did not intend to push the gate yet. Although he had reached the Divine Intent State and could kill a small Heavenly Man with a single slap, his strength was still somewhat lacking.
The Spirit Realm housed Refining God Heavenly Men, those of such formidable existence.
There were even entities surpassing the Refining God Heavenly Men.
Now it wasn’t the time to enter the Spirit Realm.
“Hmm, something’s peculiar over there,”
Li Xuan suddenly found something unusual between two mountains not far off.
With a slight move, he arrived at the entrance of the valley.
“This place… Is it the Demonic Hunting Battlefield Meng Chong mentioned?”
The Demonic Hunting Battlefield was the place where the Demon Lord was trapped and slaughtered by a group of Spirit Realm powerhouses when he fled to the Inner Domain many years ago.
Li Xuan stepped into the valley.
“This place… appears to be a naturally occurring formation? Or perhaps, it’s a peculiar place formed by the convergence of nature’s forces.”
Li Xuan walked in the valley, the more he observed, the more unexpected delight he found.
“The formation design from mysterious martial arts tactics can be studied from this point. I could transcribe the local terrain into the document as a sort of trap or formation and as a reference for mysterious martial arts formation inference.”
As Li Xuan thought this, his divine sense spread throughout the area and recorded the terrain of the Demonic Hunting Battlefield. He drew a pattern and incorporated it into his mysterious Martial Arts tactics.
