"Ye Chen, what do you plan to do next?"
After listening to Ye Chen recount his experiences within the "Ancient Pathway & Green Lantern," Phoenix Spirit asked.
"Next..."
Having entered the Divine Sword and not yet begun to cultivate, Ye Chen was drawn into the prohibition of the Ancient Pathway & Green Lantern, and only a few hours had passed. Ye Chen still had thirty days of cultivation time within this Divine Sword.
However, Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry to cultivate but instead had Phoenix Spirit take him to see Jiang Yao at the Phoenix Blood Pool again. Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -novelhall.net
Phoenix Spirit had said that in seven days, Jiang Yao would be able to complete her Bloodline Awakening and successfully emerge from seclusion.
Unfortunately, from talking with Phoenix Spirit, Ye Chen learned that Azure Blue Mansion was an object of the Upper Realm and was also refined by the Void Sky True God. The flow of time within this Divine Sword couldn't interfere with the time within Azure Blue Mansion.
Therefore, even if Ye Chen completed thirty days of cultivation within the Divine Sword, Jiang Yao would experience it just like outside the Divine Sword—it would only be three days for her in Azure Blue Mansion.
So, Ye Chen couldn't see Jiang Yao emerge from seclusion quite yet. He would still have to wait four more days after leaving the Divine Sword.
These few months of waiting.
Ye Chen truly missed Jiang Yao deeply.
Although he could see the girl who he deeply cared for any time, not being able to speak to her made Ye Chen feel as if the days dragged on like years.
Thankfully, there were only seven days left to wait.
Upon entering the Phoenix Blood Pool, Ye Chen looked at Jiang Yao, who had her beautiful eyes closed within it.
Looking at the only girl who moved his heart, at her waterfall-like black hair, her pert nose, and the light dimples on her cheeks, an involuntary smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.
"Jiang Yao, you've obtained the opportunity for Bloodline Awakening from the Divine Phoenix Clan," Ye Chen said to himself.
"This time, I've also obtained a set of Secret Tomes from the Beiming Clan."
"We both have had our fortunes connected to the Upper Realm, bringing us one step closer to the Minor Spirit Realm," he reflected.
After standing by the Phoenix Blood Pool for half an hour, Ye Chen nodded at Phoenix Spirit and left Azure Blue Mansion once again.
Boom!
Jiang Yao was diligently cultivating, and the golden monkey was also comprehending the divine abilities it had awakened to after its slumber within the Heaven Spirit Ring.
Ye Chen wouldn't waste any time either!
The moment his Divine Soul returned to his body, Ye Chen immediately opened his eyes.
Seeing the strange light enveloping him, Ye Chen nodded. He did not leave the light but started to cultivate right within it.
What Ye Chen cultivated was the newly acquired Beiming Secret Tome!
"The Beiming Secret Tome, according to the Sword Spirit senior, requires me to cultivate to the fourth level before I can come here and take away the Divine Sword."
"And to cultivate the fourth level of the Secret Tome, one must reach the Heavenly Saint Realm."
"The third level can only be cultivated after entering the Rotating Pill Realm."
"Currently, being in the Spirit Sea Realm, I can only cultivate the first and second levels. Let's begin with the most foundational—the first level of the Beiming Secret Tome!"
With a thought, the scroll of the Beiming Secret Tome hidden within his Divine Soul slowly unfolded.
"The Sword Spirit senior said that the Beiming Secret Tome is one of the sword divine arts among the Eight Great Divine Skills of the Beiming Clan. Divine Arts vastly surpass the 'Heaven and Earth Primordial' four major methods, and are even more powerful than the Holy Arts condensed by the Heavenly Saint practitioners!"
"Ordinary techniques only enhance combat power, but this 'Divine Art' can directly break through realm bottlenecks after cultivation!"
"Sword Spirit elder said that I have met the requirements for cultivation. The first layer is only slightly difficult for me, the real challenge lies in the later layers."
"Now that it's only the first layer, I must not be daunted by this difficulty!"
Ye Chen mobilized all his mind and spirit and looked at the 'All-Encompassing Divine Diagram' once again, at every Divine Pattern within it.
With this look, five days passed by directly.
From the outside, the strange aura surrounding Ye Chen had already disappeared after the first day.
Seeing that Ye Chen was still meditating, no one in the surrounding array of Eighteen Wind Pearls disturbed him.
In fact, seeing Ye Chen immersed in his cultivation, many went to other formations to cultivate, waiting to greet Ye Chen once he finished his training.
Under these circumstances, time slowly trickled by.
From the outside, Ye Chen did not seem to move at all over the five days.
But when looking inside Ye Chen's Divine Soul, one could see that from the scroll of 'All-Encompassing Divine Diagram,' the nine fierce suns above the endless Divine Patterns had started shining with a strange glow.
This clearly indicated that Ye Chen had completed the first step of integrating his Divine Sense with the endless Divine Patterns of the 'All-Encompassing Divine Diagram' and proceeded to the second step of 'Blazing Sun Illuminates the Divine, Manifesting Sword Intents'!
Just as the nine fierce suns shone upon the scroll's Divine Patterns, they also shone upon Ye Chen's Divine Soul. At that moment, Ye Chen felt as if he had crossed the barrier of the Divine Sword and truly entered into the universe.
Instantly, he felt the Sword Intents of wind, rain, thunder, lightning...
He even felt Sword Intents he had never experienced before, such as fog, smoke, snow, light...
All things Sword Intents!
It was as if endless Sword Intents were passing through Ye Chen's Divine Soul, through the scroll illuminated by the nine fierce suns!
The vast universe, with myriad Sword Intent nuances.
Following the multitude of Sword Intents, Ye Chen saw that they began to integrate.
Remarkably, this was the second layer of Sword Intents: integrating Sword Intents.
In the integration, Ye Chen saw the slaughter of all things, the destruction, death, rebirth...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if a great change had occurred in heaven and earth, finally, the endless integrating Sword Intents began an astonishing combination, progressing towards the third layer of Sword Intents, within the Sword Formations!
Various Sword Formations began to appear in Ye Chen's Divine Soul, combining in peculiar ways, featuring arrangements he had never seen before, even more wondrous and infinite than the Eight Great Sword Formations he had practiced.
In the end, all the Sword Formations, all the Sword Intents, formed in Ye Chen's Divine Soul the ultimate source of Sword Intents.
That is, the Origin of All Things, the source of true might!
Ye Chen finally completely understood what Sword Intents are.
Sword Intents are the countless forms of attack that a swordsmanship master summarizes from the various nuances of all things, combining all attacks to create the ultimate killing power of sword techniques!
This combination has no end, and even swordsmanship masters don't know how many forms Sword Intents can take.
But after cultivating the 'All-Encompassing Divine Diagram,' regardless of whether it is the most powerful high-level Sword Formation or just a single Sword Intent, their combination can be found within the 'All-Encompassing Divine Diagram'!
This is the might of the first layer of the Divine Art 'Beiming Secret Tome,' the 'All-Encompassing Divine Diagram'!
Boom!
After cultivating for a full eighteen days, absorbing the sunlight of the nine great suns, and integrating the manifestations of the various Divine Arts into his Divine Soul, Ye Chen opened his eyes, stood up from his seated meditation position.
