536: Heading to the Burial God Abyss Secret Realm again

Yao Delong's mind was shaken as he immersed himself in this vast and infinite Dao of Slaughtering Swords!

His body trembled slightly, his blood surged and boiled, and the phantom of the divine sun behind him appeared more solid and pure!

Fine beads of sweat even seeped from his forehead, a result of the consumption from his Primordial Spirit operating at high speed to deduce this supreme sword move!

After an unknown amount of time...

"...Ugh!"

Yao Delong suddenly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, which carried a trace of mental Impurities that were expelled after withstanding the impact of the true meaning of the sword Dao.

Opening his eyes, golden light flowed within them, and sword shadows flickered in and out of existence!

"Phew..."

He let out a long breath, and his gaze toward the long sword in his hand was full of heat and... a hint of awe!

"immortal slaying dark kite... what an 'Immortal Slaying'! What a move, 'Dual Wings of the Ethereal Kite'!"

He murmured to himself, his finger pads slowly sliding across the cold and simple spine of the sword, "Under the Dao Artifact sword... Karma can be severed... Immortals and gods can be slain!"

This was a true weapon of mass destruction! It was a terrifying existence sufficient to become a Sect's Foundation or even trigger a war between Sects!

Just then, a lazy yawn sounded in his mind:

"Ya—wn! Finished comprehending?

How is it, kid? Were you stunned by this Fairy's peerless elegance and world-shaking power?"

The phantom of You Yuan slowly emerged from the sword, stretching an extremely exaggerated lazy stretch.

As she moved, her Flowing Immortal Dress rippled like water, breathtakingly beautiful, but the hint of mischief in her eyes could not be hidden.

"Alright, alright, look at how pathetic you are! Wipe your drool, This old lady is going back for her beauty sleep, I'm exhausted..."

As she spoke, her figure faded and vanished into the depths of the sword body once more, leaving behind only a trace of a sly, ethereal voice.

Holding You Yuan and feeling the dormant, vast, star-like terrifying energy within the sword body,

Yao Delong's excitement gradually settled, turning into a heavy pressure, as well as a stronger desire and determination!

Its current power was limited because he... was too weak!

To fully activate the basic Yin and Yang Laws of this Dao Artifact and fight with all his might... he could only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

His Yuan Qi would be completely drained! Not to mention that world-shaking 'Immortal Slaying Slash' Divine Ability?

He feared that if he swung the sword now, it would instantly suck him dry!

The pressure weighed heavily on his heart, but like scorching lava, it catalyzed an even more intense heat!

"Void Refining Realm..."

Yao Delong stroked the simple Dark Yellow sword body of the immortal slaying dark kite, his gaze like ignited stars.

"Breakthrough is imminent! But the Foundation, insights, and especially... the sharp intent of the killing moves required to break through the Realm, all need to climb higher peaks! Relying solely on sitting in isolation is ultimately an inferior strategy!"

A flash of inspiration struck his mind!

Burial God Abyss! Senior Bi Yao! The follow-up to Heart Sword Without Trace!

And... the best sparring partner left by Sword Heart True Man—that wisp of eternally undefeated Sword Intent Incarnation!

Back then, just breaking through to the Nascent Soul had already benefited him greatly. Now, as for himself,

Late Stage Soul Transformation, possessing the Great Sun Sacred Body, and further purified by the sword Dao Laws of a Dao Artifact... "If I can defeat the Incarnation once more! No, if I can crush him once!

Using this moment as a whetstone, my Primordial Spirit and my Heart Sword Intent should be able to push toward another limit!"

A strong Battle Intent instantly ignited!

No sooner said than done!

Yao Delong flipped his palm, and a simple jade token engraved with complex spatial runes appeared! It was exactly what Bi Yao had bestowed upon him back then.

He channeled his Yuan Qi into it!

Buzz!

With a soft hum, the jade token suddenly erupted with intense silver light!

It wasn't a spatial tear, but more like a 'door' through an invisible crystalline wall being opened!

A soft yet incredibly stable spatial portal silently formed within the Secret Chamber.

Behind the door was the familiar aura of that peaceful and serene world, isolated from the outside.

Without any hesitation, Yao Delong stepped inside!

Time and space shifted, and in an instant, everything became steady.

It was still that picturesque scenery, the Sword Heart Residence, so quiet that it felt as if time itself was lazily slumbering here.

A stream gurgled under a small bridge shrouded in mist, rare flowers and exotic plants emitted an elegant fragrance, and in the distance, a small, elegant wooden house stood quietly.

The only thing breaking this eternal tranquility was the vine rocking chair in front of the wooden house.

On the rocking chair, a girl in a green dress, about fifteen or sixteen years old and as exquisite as a porcelain doll, sat with her legs crossed comfortably.

One small, jade-like hand was picking up a cherry-red spirit fruit brimming with Spiritual Qi from a floating jade plate and sending it into her small mouth.

The other hand held a yellowed ancient book. Bathed in the soft light of the Secret Realm, she looked as lazy as a well-fed cat.

However, at the very moment Yao Delong's figure completely solidified in space!

"Pfft—!!"

The spirit fruit in the girl's mouth, along with its sweet juice, was sprayed out in her shock!

A few sparkling drops still hung from her slightly parted rosy lips.

She bounced up from the rocking chair like a spring!

The hem of her princess dress drew a smooth arc.

Her large, gem-like clear eyes widened into circles! She locked onto Yao Delong, who had descended here, with a death stare!

Like she'd seen a ghost!

What did she see?

How long had it been since he left? A year?

The young man before her stood tall and upright! With every step he took, he seemed like a walking golden sun!

His furnace-like, majestic, and pure blood-qi power, of the utmost yang, almost distorted the pure Spiritual Qi of the Secret Realm around him!

Even more terrifying was the energy flowing in his veins; even from a distance, she felt as if her skin were being scorched!

The power dormant within him was like a prehistoric behemoth!

"L-Late Stage Soul Transformation?!! My god above!!!"

Bi Yao let out an extremely unladylike sound, a mix of a sharp intake of breath and a gasp, making the stream under the small bridge ripple.

She hopped in front of Yao Delong like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, circling around him.

Her small nose even subconsciously sniffed, purely attracted by that domineering masculine sacred radiance, her small face written with disbelief.

"You left at the Early Nascent Soul Stage... and you come back at the Late Stage Soul Transformation... what kind of Prodigy fast-track method is this?!!

Even taking pills wouldn't be this ridiculous! When the old master went from the Nascent Soul to the Soul Transformation back then, he was praised by the Sect as a once-in-a-millennium genius.

Compared to you, he was practically a slow old tortoise crawling a hundred and eight thousand miles, hey!"

She marveled even more as she looked up and down at Yao Delong's body, her cute little face serious and earnest:

"This physical body of yours... oh my goodness... these golden bones, these iron tendons... I bet you could catch an ordinary Heaven-Grade Weapon with your bare hands without even cracking?!"

"Kid, did you crawl into some ancient giant god's ancestral tomb for a soak?!"

Yao Delong was so amused by her startled reaction that he almost lost his composure. He forced himself to stay calm, bowed slightly, and got straight to the point:

"Senior Bi Yao has a Wisdom Eye; this Junior indeed had some Opportunities. But I dare not slacken in the slightest in my cultivation of the sword Dao.

I have come today to cheekily ask Senior to unlock the subsequent cultivation methods for the Heart Sword Without Trace secret manual to make up for the deficiencies in my sword Dao."

Hearing about serious business, Bi Yao instantly restrained her flighty manner.

With her small hands behind her back, she paced back to the open space in front of the wooden house, her green dress swaying.

Her gaze became deep and penetrating, as if she could look through Yao Delong's body and see directly into his Primordial Spirit and the Foundation of his cultivation.
