Chapter 835 The Heavens Annihilation Profound Arts (1)



It was already too late to stop Ji Yuan to enter Yang Batian's cultivation chamber.

It was because he was already inside now.

Yang Batian said to Ji Yuan, "You really have guts to follow me inside my cultivation chamber. You are not afraid that this may be a trap? Have you forgotten that we are all competitors in the same trial?"

Ji Yuan laughed aloud, "Well, in a normal circumstance maybe but you won't try to set a trap for me. It is because you are still hoping to earn your Trust Points with the Divine Consort Ding Jie'Er. Am I right?"

Yang Batian was also laughing aloud but he soon took out two cultivation slips and said to him, "One is Heavens Annihilation Sword and the other one is my Heavens Annihilation Force. Do you think that it is even possible for me to attain the Eighth Heavens Annihilation Sword?"

Ji Yuan displayed a curious look at Yang Batian, "You are not afraid that I will secretly learn your profound arts? After all, these two profound arts may be unique only to your celestial sect and even to your direct elite protégé."

"If I dare to show it to you then I am not afraid that you will secretly steal my profound arts from me." Yang Batian laughed hoarsely and he was looked quite nonchalantly about it.

Ji Yuan frowned, "Seriously?"

Yang Batian shoved his two cultivation slips into Ji Yuan's hands, "If you are not interested in my profound arts then you won't be here in the first place. So, stop pretending. I don't mind because you don't need my profound skills to defeat me."

Ji Yuan laughed weakly, "Haha…"

Unknown to the two of them, Destiny was actually listening in secret to their conversations through the skull ring that was on Ji Yuan.

"Well, I can't promise anything." Ji Yuan started to inspect the cultivation slips with his divine sense. 

Yang Batian knows that this may take some time so he started to close his eyes to meditate. 

When Ji Yuan was inspecting and looking at the cultivation slips with his divine sense, he was astonished at how intrinsic this Heavens Annihilation Force actually was and even more so by the Heavens Annihilation Sword Art. 

To his astonishment, these two cultivation slips were originals. 

One must know that cultivation slips are written in the cultivation language of the cultivators which consisted of only gibberish even to the cultivators themselves. In order to decipher the meanings of the cultivation slips, a cultivator must first increase their cultivator realm first in order to understand it with their divine sense. 

A first realm cultivator will naturally unable to understand or read anything with his divine sense beyond his first realm cultivation. 

With a look, most high level cultivators will be able to tell if the cultivation slips are copied or originals. 

Copied cultivation slips are crude and low levels while high level cultivation slips are often more detailed and high levels. 

And it is extremely difficult to copy a high level cultivation slip if the cultivator is not the original creator.

The creation of a high level cultivation slip will often take years and even centuries, and copying a high level cultivation slip is also not as simple as one think too, which can take 3-10 times more time! 

That is why in the Celestial Realm, there are dedicated cultivation scholars or scribes in the major cities for hire, if one really wants to copy a small portion of a cultivation slip.  ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom

Most cultivators are quite secretive about their cultivation slips though and will not share with anyone else beside their own celestial sect. 

Beside the divine sense, a cultivator's divine state of divinity can also affect the understandings of the cultivation slip. 

That was the reason why Yang Batian had asked Ji Yuan to his cultivation chamber to see if he could help him to understand the 8th Heavens Annihilation Sword Art. 

As for Ji Yuan, the aforementioned two reasons were not the only factors contributing to his knowledge that these two cultivation slips were indeed the originals. 

At the end of the end of the Heavens Annihilation Sword Art, the creator had actually said so by inscribing: If you are able to decipher till the 9th Heavens Annihilation Sword Art, then you must also be a Sword Deity and also a life destructive sword user. For the 9th Heavens Annihilation Sword Art is formless and the only form is the destruction of its target. Created by Immortal Sword Deity Hei Baiyue. 

Ji Yuan looked back at the 8th Heavens Annihilation Sword Art and saw that it requires the sword practitioner to have used the life destructive sword at least 8 times and it must not be a life destructive sword that has a weaker profound power than the 7th Heavens Annihilation Sword Art. 

In short, the cultivator must first be able to survive the use of the life destructive sword at least 8 times. This meaning of the life and destructive sword actually means the use of the cultivator's life force energies which could result in a life and death situation for them. 

And for Ji Yuan, he happened to be extremely good with the use of his life force energies sword and have even created the life and death sword domain to add his own life force vitality to the use of his sword energies to create a more formidable sword art. 

Ji Yuan began to look with renewed interest at the the Heavens Annihilation Sword; it seemed that this Immortal Sword Deity Hei Baiyue had condensed his sword intentions with the use of the life force energies for the 8th and 9th profound sword art of the Heavens Annihilation Sword. 

That was why Yang Batian was unable to comprehend further. 

As for the 9th Heavens Annihilation Sword, it is even more impossible for Yang Batian to learn. It is because he is not a Sword Deity and the 9th Heavens Annihilation Sword requires the sword practitioner to use the life destructive sword that has the profound power of the 8th Heavens Annihilation Sword 9 times. 

But Ji Yuan, his Grand Cross was actually a life force energies sword art and it already had the profound power of the 8th Heavens Annihilation Sword. 

And he had already used his grand cross profound sword art numerous times and even his life and death domain with his Grand Cross, naming it the 'Ultimate Grand Cross'. 

He began to wonder if this 9th Heavens Annihilation Sword would actually be even stronger than his Ultimate Grand Cross?

This shouldn't be right?

His Ultimate Grand Cross is his sword domain and he can only use it only once…

Out of curiosity, he started to look at the second cultivation slip now which was the Heavens Annihilation Force…
