The Great Emperor of Dayue suddenly changed his expression and stood up abruptly. Had a power from the Chang Qing Pavilion launched an attack?
Hadn’t he conceded by surrendering territories and offering indemnities? Did they truly want to drive him to a fight to the death?
Upon leaving his royal study, he saw a green-faced man in a white robe standing outside, two royal attendants staring at him with solemn expressions.
“The Green-faced Man?”
The Great Emperor of Dayue was taken aback.
One of the three mysterious secret forces, the Green-Faced Man!
“Why have you come here, my lord?”
The Great Emperor of Dayue asked with a puzzled look.
Since it wasn’t a powerful figure from the Chang Qing Pavilion, he let out a sigh of relief.
“Great Emperor of Dayue, are you not resentful and furious towards Chang Qing Pavilion? Fortunately, I also have some business to attend to. We could work together. What do you think?”
The Green-faced Man spoke calmly.
“How can we work together?”
The Great Emperor of Dayue asked in a deep voice.
The Green-faced Man looked at him but didn’t respond.
The Great Emperor of Dayue took a deep breath and said, “Please, let’s discuss
this in my study room.”
“The Great Emperor of Dayue is wise.”
The Green-faced Man gave a faint smile and walked into the royal study.
Powers that had once deployed their Great Grandmasters in their assault on Chang Qing Pavilion, all of them had quietly been visited by the Green-faced
Man.
The Inner Domain was inundated with undercurrents due to the mysterious Green-faced Man.
On Canglan Island, the discussion on how the martial artists of the Inner Domain could convert to the martial arts of Dahua had just ended.
After research, the direction for converting to Dahua martial arts had been roughly sorted out. However, implementing it would not be an easy task.
“For martial artists below Xingxiu Realm to convert to Dahua martial arts, they will first have to cultivate their vital essence which is of relatively lower difficulty. If they have Vital Essence Pills as aids and supplement it with vital essence condensation methods, it won’t be too difficult.
“However, after the conversion, their progress will be relatively slower because their foundation isn’t established from the beginning, thus making them slightly weaker than traditional Dahua Warriors.”
Xu Yan concluded.
Zhou Ying had converted from the fourth realm, which is the Martial Dao of the Inner Domain, where the third realm is where the foundations of martial arts are truly established; hence it is comparatively easier to convert martial arts at the fourth realm.
Even if you condensed Blood Essence after the third realm and converted to Martial Arts under the influence of Blood Essence Pill, due to the already established foundation of Martial Arts, it would be relatively weaker than
Dahua Warriors.
Nevertheless, it is stronger than the martial artists of the Inner Domain.
Therefore, once the method of conversion is made public, a large number of martial artists below the first Xingxiu Realm will consider changing their martial arts path.
However, there is a prerequisite. That is, they would need the aid of the Blood Essence Pill. Not every martial artist can afford a Blood Essence Pill!
“The innate state of Dahua martial arts is about connecting with the Heaven and Earth Bridge. Even if you have condensed True Qi, without the Heaven and Earth Bridge, you are not a Dahua Warrior.
“However, the foundations of a Grandmaster Warrior are pretty much set and there is no way to connect with the Heaven and Earth Bridge. This is a dilemma.”
Xu Yan sighed.
If a Grandmaster Warrior wants to convert, apart from condensing True Qi, the Heaven and Earth Bridge is the core. Without the Heaven and Earth Bridge, it is impossible to directly absorb the Spiritual Energy and condense it into True Qi.
Instead, he has to absorb Inner Domain Warrior’s Path Inner Qi, then convert it into True Qi through condensation.
Peng Yuan and a few other martial scholars were not at all discouraged, instead, they said enthusiastically, “Let’s continue our research, perhaps we might find an alternative.”
Xu Yan nodded. He would not spend too much effort on the method of conversion. Having just broken through to the Tongxuan Realm, there is much more martial arts comprehension he needs to sort out.
Next, Xu Yan advised Xie Lingfeng on how to cultivate the Sword Dao, such as how to comprehend oneself and how to enlighten the sword heart.
Whether Xie Lingfeng could enlighten the sword heart is entirely up to him. Xu Yan had basically completed his guidance.
Sitting cross-legged atop the precipice of Canglan Island, Xu Yan began to consolidate his powers.
Suddenly, he thought of Su Lingxiu.
“Junior sister should have dissected those corpses by now. I wonder if she has made any discoveries. Could she concoct a certain elixir that allows meridians to transform into Heaven and Earth Bridge? Although they would only be a semblance of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, they would still possess its capabilities. As such, it could still be possible to convert to Dahua martial arts.” Xu Yan’s eyes brightened at this thought. He felt this method might be feasible. Once Chang Qing Pavilion moved to Canglan Island, he could let his junior sister probe it.
The Inner Domain had gradually stabilized since the battle of Chang Qing Pavilion.
Although there were hidden currents, the surface of the martial arts world was still peaceful and tranquil, with few conflicts.
The elixirs were selling well.
The method of Dahua martial arts was also gradually being disseminated.
One day, the Seven-star Study Palace launched the Dahua Martial Arts class, causing some ripples in the tranquil martial arts world.
Xu Yan was oblivious to the undercurrents outside. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
He was in the midst of consolidating his powers.
The scene of his master killing Yinlou Pavilion’s Master with a wag of the hand surfaced in his mind.
That blow directly obliterated Yinlou Pavilion’s master’s soul. Xu Yan had distinctly remembered the mysterious fluctuation that came about when the blow was struck and he was immersing himself in understanding that strange tremor.
Xu Yan realised during the fight with Demon King that if he mastered his master’s soul-destruction technique, slaying a demigod shouldn’t be too difficult.
“If the enemy also possesses the ability to sever the soul, how should 1 defend myself?”
Xu Yan contemplated.
This was more difficult to defend than any other attacks.
As Xu Yan mused, two rays of swordlight appeared in front of him, spinning in a cycle as if they were alive.
A mysterious fluctuation echoed from within the Sword Wheel, then vanished instantly.
“No good. I can’t meld it into the Sword Wheel and can’t bring it into reality.”
Xu Yan knitted his brows.
With a thought, the Sword Intent of Mountain and River appeared. It went round and round like a cover for one side of sky and earth.
Following that, the Sword Intent of Mountain and River surged dramatically and instantly, forming the contours of heaven and earth, no longer illusory..
