60: Chapter 60 A Million Comprehensions, Farewell to the Patriarch

[Fuyao Sword Scripture, Pixu Realm, 30 Chapters: Perfection (Sword Intent + 1200)]

[Fuyao Sword Scripture, Dongtian Realm, 30 Chapters: Perfection (Sword Intent + 1500)]

Comprehension Ability + 14481

Longevity + 14481

'Nothing went wrong; my deductions were correct!'

Yu Xiu felt calm inside.

A Comprehension Ability exceeding 220,000 certainly did not disappoint.

Oh, that's not right; it is now over 270,000.

The creation of the Yin and Yang Furnace Spirit Refining Technique exceeded Yu Xiu's expectations, directly adding 30,000 to his Comprehension Ability and 30,000 to his Longevity.

It was even higher than the total Comprehension Ability gained from creating the Fuyao Sword Scripture from the Foundation to the Dongtian Realm.

This also meant that as long as this Spirit Refining Technique continued to be practiced, it could far surpass the Dongtian Realm.

'270,000 in Comprehension Ability is not enough!'

'My Comprehension Ability shall break one million!'

'Since the Fuyao Sword Scripture had no errors from the Foundation to the Dongtian Realm, then this will be very easy!'

Yu Xiu's Mental Energy was constantly strengthening, and his Comprehension Ability was also increasing. Together, they made his deductions and technique creation much faster.

Inspiration erupted in his mind, and flashes of insight surged, causing Yu Xiu's speed in creating techniques to become faster and faster.

Furthermore, the Cultivation Techniques he created all led directly to the Dongtian Realm.

For him, the Realms and Cultivation Techniques beyond the Five Elements Realm had lost their mist of uncertainty, forcibly unveiled by his over 200,000 Comprehension Ability.

[Tianhe Sword Scripture, Dongtian Realm, 30 Chapters: Perfection (Sword Intent + 1500)]

[Fuhai Sword Scripture, Dongtian Realm, 30 Chapters: Perfection (Sword Intent + 1500)]

...

By late night, excluding the first Fuyao Sword Scripture, Yu Xiu had already created fifty-two Cultivation Techniques from the Foundation to the Dongtian Realm.

Aside from the first Sword Scripture, he hardly needed much deduction for the subsequent techniques; they were created naturally and surprisingly fast.

In particular, his Comprehension Ability was skyrocketing almost every moment, making his speed of creating techniques faster and faster.

[Comprehension Ability: 1024729]

[Longevity: 16 / 1024854]

[Sword Heart: Sword Sound (Perfection)]

[Sword Heart: Severing Thoughts 'Third Layer' (37 / 1500)]

Where the heart goes, the sword follows; this is Severing Thoughts.

The Sword Intent nurtured by the Sword Heart at this stage can not only sever demons and monsters, but also sever invisible thoughts; souls can be severed, spirits can be severed, and even thoughts can be severed, and even a person's memories can be wiped away.

From then on, no Heart Demon will be born, and the spirit cannot be invaded.

[Fire Element: First Layer (360 / 500)]

[Water Element: First Layer (482 / 500)]

[Metal Element: Second Layer (56 / 800)]

[Earth Element: First Layer (276 / 500)]

[Wood Element: First Layer (264 / 500)]

[Taiyin: Second Layer (653 / 800)]

[Taiyang: Second Layer (664 / 800)]

[Wind Walk: Riding the Wind 'Second Layer' (324 / 800)]

'Comprehension Ability has broken one million!'

'Longevity has also broken one million!'

Yu Xiu suppressed the flashes of insight and inspiration that kept appearing due to the skyrocketing Comprehension Ability.

He also felt the surging, ceaseless vitality within his Life Spring; it could no longer be called a great river, but a vast ocean.

Moreover, after his Longevity broke one million, his vitality underwent another transformation, scouring his physique and making its improvement increasingly rapid and astonishing.

Even the Yin and Yang Furnace Spirit Refining Technique became faster at tempering his spirit.

'It is time to pay a visit to the Earth Fire Abyss.' Yu Xiu stopped creating techniques.

He looked at the sky; it was late at night again.

Enveloped by moonlight, he rose with the Wind Walk, like an Immortal descended from the bright moon.

Crossing in a few steps, he appeared in the Earth Fire Abyss behind the Inner Courtyard and landed in front of the zhenyuan sword.

'Hmm?' A Zhanlong Peak Disciple guarding this place looked up. Yu Xiu seemed to have walked on the moon, with moonlight flowing over his body, as if it had turned into a Taiyin Immortal robe.

Such elegance left the Disciple in a trance.

'Walking on the moon? What kind of technique does he practice?'

Within the Sword Sect, all are Sword Cultivators; when did such an ethereal, Immortal-like technique appear?

And...

'This person does not seem to be using Sword Qi?!'

This Zhanlong Peak Disciple frowned.

Whether it is the Sword in the Hand lineage or the Sword in Heart lineage, the True Qi they cultivate is actually all Sword Qi.

The difference is that the Sword in Heart lineage cultivates pure Sword Qi, while the Sword Qi of the Sword in the Hand lineage lies between True Qi and Sword Qi.

Therefore, no matter what martial arts they display, they all have Sword Qi mixed in, which can be seen at a glance, especially by the Sword Sect's own Disciples, who can see it clearly.

But right now, this Zhanlong Peak Disciple could not feel any Sword Qi from Yu Xiu, nor even any True Qi.

It was as if that layer of moonlight was supporting his flight.

'Could it be an reclusive old monster of the Sword Sect appearing here in the middle of the night?'

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed; how could an ordinary Disciple have such incredible means?

"Disciple Duan Ci of Zhanlong Peak greets you, Senior!" He bowed respectfully.

'Hmm? My seniority suddenly increased for no reason.'

Yu Xiu was stunned: "I am also a Zhanlong Peak Disciple, not an Elder or Protector."

'???' Duan Ci was stunned, 'He is also a Zhanlong Peak Disciple?'

Zhanlong Peak has such a powerful person?

He had seen existences like the Ten True Seeds and the Ten Heroes, and he had also seen the most powerful people below the Ten Heroes.

Beyond that, Duan Ci could not think of anyone else who looked like this.

However, having caused an awkward situation, Duan Ci did not dare to ask further: "So it is Senior Brother."

After signaling for Yu Xiu to do as he pleased, he sat back down on the ground.

'I cannot even perceive a trace of his cultivation base; this Senior Brother's strength must be far above mine!'

Yu Xiu smiled at Duan Ci and sat down in front of the zhenyuan sword.

His spirit, under the tempering of the Yin and Yang Furnace Spirit Refining Technique, grew extremely fast, and he could now project his spirit out of his body, reaching several dozen zhang away.

Moreover, his spirit was extremely condensed, comparable to Sword Qi, capable of splitting stones and cutting through metal and jade.

Although he hadn't tried it, Yu Xiu felt that his spirit could also directly intrude into others' minds and kill invisibly.

Even the spiritual will of the Hualong Realm might not be stronger than his.

Especially since his Mental Energy, under the Yin and Yang Furnace, was growing and being tempered every moment, the progress was frighteningly fast.

He activated his Sword Heart to bolster his spirit.

On the zhenyuan sword, Yu Xiu saw that majestic figure again.

'Ancestor Linyuan!'

And unlike the Ancestor Linyuan on the Sword Worship Stone, this Ancestor Linyuan was more cold, stern, and domineering.

"Disciple Yu Xiu greets the Ancestral Master." Yu Xiu transmitted his voice with his spiritual will.

The majestic figure lowered his eyes to look at Yu Xiu: "The third time.

"Every time I see you, you are always different.

"You have not yet cultivated a Divine Heart, yet your spiritual will can already manifest outside the body. Your Sword Heart, I fear, has also entered the third layer, Severing Thoughts!

"My Qingwei Sword Sect shall produce another Saint!"

Yu Xiu was calm and indifferent: "The Ancestral Master praises me too much; such minor achievements are not worth mentioning."

This was not modesty, but in Yu Xiu's eyes, it was truly not worth boasting about.

Even this path of martial arts was about to be abandoned by him; it was not what he sought.

He came to find Ancestor Linyuan to ask about the complete path of martial arts cultivation; he did not need techniques, but only to discuss the direction of this path.

It was not for reference, nor to borrow from; it was only to increase his foundation for opening up the path of Immortals.

Ancestor Linyuan was silent for a moment.

After a moment, he said indifferently: "Has anyone ever told you that you are very annoying when you speak?"
