46: Chapter 46 Breaking Through the Realm, Encountering the Yin Demon Again

Hall Master Su Wenjin was stunned: "You can even capture them alive?"

Yu Xiu: "I can try."

"Alive is best, but dead doesn't matter. Just act according to the degree of his demonic possession." Hall Master Su Wenjin did not continue this topic.

He looked at Yu Xiu, his eyes filled with admiration.

This Genius, who had shocked everyone at Mingjian Hall and received 'A+' ratings across the board, was discovered by him personally, and he was the first to do so.

The greater Yu Xiu's future achievements, the higher his own status at Zhanlong Peak would be.

He smiled: "Do you know why I came to find you exactly one month after you entered Zhanlong Peak?"

Yu Xiu shook his head.

Hall Master Su Wenjin said: "Zhanlong Peak Disciples have one mandatory Law Enforcement Hall mission every month. This is the main reason I came to find you."

He paused: "Of course, you are different. Your talent is peerless, and you have the potential to become a true Disciple in the future. That is why neither the Elders nor the Protectors have mentioned this to you."

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but if you lack Medicinal Pills and don't have contribution points to exchange for them, you can go directly to the Internal Affairs Hall to take them. No one will give you a hard time, but they will keep a tab for you. When you truly grow up, you will have to pay it back."

"Zhanlong Peak can provide most of the resources you need in advance; in many aspects, they will open wide the doors of convenience for you."

'This is quite a good model!' Yu Xiu secretly gave Zhanlong Peak a thumbs up.

The Sect invested early, fully helping him take off. Once he truly took off, these resources would naturally mean nothing in his eyes, and there was no interest either.

He wouldn't even need to pay it back proactively. When his strength was high enough, a casual action might bring huge benefits to the Sect, or a simple gesture could solve a major problem for the Sect.

"The Sect does indeed do this well, but a Sword Cultivator is like a sword; it must be polished and sharpened constantly. I was also afraid that you would just focus on closed-door cultivation and get bored." Hall Master Su Wenjin said subtly.

In reality, he was thinking that Yu Xiu's sword must be related to slaughter.

After all, when he was in the Inner Courtyard, he had wiped out Fang Jiming and the other eight during his very first mission. Who would believe that he wasn't bloodthirsty!

Therefore, when the one-month mark arrived, he sought out Yu Xiu to find him a reasonable object for sword testing.

Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall missions for the Sword in Heart lineage might not necessarily fall to Yu Xiu, as many Zhanlong Peak Disciples wanted to find fellow Disciples of the Sword in Heart lineage to test their swords.

"Of course, there is another reason." Hall Master Su Wenjin rubbed his hands: "Thanks to you, I am no longer just the Law Enforcement Hall Master of the Inner Courtyard; I also have the authority to enforce the law over some Main Sect Disciples."

"As you know, I don't actually have many powerful experts under me. This is my first time enforcing the law over Main Sect Disciples, so naturally, I can't just post a mission and call it a day. If I can solve it myself, it's always better to do so, otherwise, the higher-ups might label me as someone who just eats without working!"

'So he was promoted and wants to use my hands to make a name for himself.' Yu Xiu smiled: "Many thanks for thinking of me, Hall Master Su. Leave this matter to me."

He had wanted to witness the fellow Disciples of the Sword in Heart lineage for a long time!

"Do you have time now?" Hall Master Su Wenjin did not hesitate at all.

Yu Xiu: "Wait a moment, let me have a Breakthrough first."

Hall Master Su Wenjin: "???"

No, you've only been in the Main Sect for a month, what are you breaking through to?

Before Hall Master Su Wenjin could ask again, he saw the hidden Aura within Yu Xiu erupt, his momentum rising layer by layer!

Five Viscera Second Layer, Third Layer... Fifth Layer... Ninth Layer!

Five Viscera Perfection!

'Boom!'

An invisible Aura seemed to explode, leaving Hall Master Su Wenjin dumbfounded, his mind feeling like a bowl of mush!

'No...'

'I mean...'

'You this...'

'Five Viscera Realm, you've reached Perfection?'

The Dragon-Slaying and Evil-Purging Sword was passed to Yu Xiu by Hall Master Su Wenjin himself. At most, it had only been a little over a month.

What can one do in just over a month?

Reaching the Second Layer from the First Layer of the Five Viscera Realm would already be an astonishing speed, but Yu Xiu...

Five Viscera Ninth Layer, and it's Great Perfection!

No, that's wrong. It's that he was about to break through Great Perfection and enter the second pass of the Great Four Passes, the Five Elements Realm!

Yu Xiu didn't notice Hall Master Su Wenjin's chaotic state; he was purely focused on the Breakthrough.

The Five Viscera Realm involves cultivating the Five Viscera. True Qi breaks through the shackles of the Meridians, flows throughout the whole body, and then takes up residence within the Five Viscera. This is equivalent to having five additional Qi Seas, while also nourishing the Five Viscera with True Qi to an extremely formidable level.

Achieving harmony inside and out, thereby escaping the situation of having strong muscles and bones but fragile internal organs.

The second pass of the Great Four Passes is different; the second pass is the Five Elements Realm.

One must use vast True Qi to stir the intrinsic nature of the Five Viscera.

For example, the heart belongs to Fire, so it is the nature of Fire; one must use True Qi to stir the Fire nature.

Another example, the lungs belong to Metal, so one must cultivate the Metal nature.

The liver belongs to Wood, the spleen belongs to Earth, and the kidneys belong to Water. Ultimately, one cultivates the five natures. Most Sword Cultivators prioritize the Metal nature of the lungs to form supreme, sharp Sword Qi.

In almost just a quarter of an hour, the Fire nature within Yu Xiu's heart was stirred by the vast True Qi, subsequently transforming into Fire-natured True Qi.

His heart seemed to transform into a furnace.

'Eh!'

'The Heart Demon is stirring?!'

A joy arose in Yu Xiu's heart. He didn't know if it was because the Fire nature of his heart was stirred, making his mind more resilient, or for some other reason.

Within his heart, the sound of the Heart Demon he had been longing for finally rang out.

"You have cultivated bitterly until now. Have you ever felt lost, helpless, or hesitant? There are people who want to harm you, people who want to use you, people who are jealous, and people who are resentful. None of them want to see you do well!

"You, it's too bitter for you!

"Open your mind, and I will walk the path ahead for you!"

The Heart Demon's voice carried chaos and temptation.

However, Yu Xiu had long since cultivated a Sword Heart, and it was a Second Layer Sword Heart. With a heart like a sword and thoughts like a sword, such thoughts of temptation and chaos seemed to be isolated or infinitely weakened in front of the Sword Heart.

In any case, it was useless.

If he didn't listen carefully, Yu Xiu could barely hear it.

'I'm too bitter?'

Which version of you is this?

Where am I bitter?

'You will walk the path ahead for me?'

How dare you think of such a good thing?

You are planning to take my remaining seven thousand six hundred years of lifespan?

You want to use my Comprehension Ability of over seven thousand five hundred too?

When you come out, I'll give you a sword strike.

Yu Xiu remained silent, just waiting for the Heart Demon to manifest and become the Yin Demon.

"Your will is not firm; you cannot see through the chaos of this Mortal World. Very well, I will help you escape this sea of suffering in the Mortal World." The Heart Demon whispered.

The next instant, Yu Xiu once again felt a force of will that did not belong to him separating and leaving him.

'This is the feeling!' Yu Xiu keenly grasped the change in the force of will in this split second.

He had to remember this feeling and, following this feeling, trace how the 'Heart Demon' and 'Yin Demon' were actually born.

As long as he grasped this point, he would be confident in pulling out his own Yin Demon and refining it into an Incarnation.

But what dissatisfied him was that this Heart Demon emerged too quickly. Before he could continue his investigation, a 'person' who was evil, cold, and seemed to be the embodiment of the world's ultimate wickedness appeared before him!

That was another Yu Xiu, another himself.

"Go back, come out again, and I won't kill you." Yu Xiu looked calmly at the other self in front of him, the 'Yin Demon'!

Yin Demon: "???"

I've already come out, and you want me to go back?

Have you ever seen a child who, after being born, is stuffed back in?

"You have indeed become lost in this sea of suffering in the Mortal World. Let me replace you." The Yin Demon ignored Yu Xiu's baffling remark.

"Swoosh!" The next instant, a sword flash streaked by, and the Yin Demon before him split into two halves, then transformed into a wisp of green smoke.

Appearing and getting instantly killed!
