251: The new secret realm, the legend of the dual heaven and earth magic.

Yan Wujin's shout made Zhou Yunyi wish he could dig a hole at the bottom of the pond and crawl into it on the spot.

Qin Wangchuan, however, did not delve deeper.

He swept his gaze over the people in the courtyard, found an empty stone bench, and sat down leisurely, forming a stark contrast with the injured people lying or sitting around him.

"You all should have seen those last two swords clearly, right?" Qin Wangchuan spoke, his voice calm, yet it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

He was naturally referring to the final calamity of the Heavenly Sword, the scene where it fell along with the Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword, severing the Heavenly City.

Everyone was puzzled as to why this was suddenly brought up.

Qin Wangchuan lightly tapped his fingertip on the stone table and continued, "After seeing those two swords, I have an idea."

"Combining a sword forged from Spiritual Qi with a solid sword condensed from Divine Ability... what do you all think?"

The courtyard fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at each other, most showing confusion, unable to immediately grasp his meaning.

"To put it simply..." He rarely explained, "It's a Fusion of the Heavenly Sword and the Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword."

"What?!"

As soon as his voice fell, Yan Wujin's voice was filled with incredulous irritability: "Your two swords already cut down the pseudo-immortal body, and that thing came at no small price! You still want to get stronger?! Are you not giving anyone a chance to live?!"

Ye Lingchuan looked over upon hearing this, thinking, 'Is the pseudo-immortal body yours to regret?'

Although it was indeed a great pity, it had been nurtured for a long time.

"You're talking about the two swords unleashed by those two Dharma Bodies, right?" Zhao Lingyun interrupted Yan Wujin's roar. As the final survivor, he saw more clearly and mused,

"The Heavenly Sword is essentially a highly condensed Spiritual Qi construct, formless yet substantial. And your Ten Directions Marvelous Law Sword, though covered in cracks, is a manifestation of Law, almost a solid Dao weapon. Their attributes are vastly different..."

Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and he took over, "So, you want to combine the two?"

"Not combine." Qin Wangchuan corrected, his eyes focused, "It's Fusion. Let the solid sword be the bone, and the Spiritual Qi sword become the edge."

"A layer of Spiritual Qi sword sheathing the solid sword, with the two becoming one."

"Hiss—" Li Xuan gasped, falling into thought.

"It sounds... feasible."

"But the difficulty lies in how to ensure that the outer Spiritual Qi sword is not torn apart or repelled by the internal solid sword's own Law and sharpness? If the problem of conflicting Spiritual Qi and merging attributes can be solved, it might really create a new 'Law'."

Li Xuan's eyes showed contemplation, and he found the idea increasingly interesting.

Chu Wujiu, listening nearby, also stroked his chin, his thoughts expanding: "Then according to this... can a layer of Spiritual Qi shell also be placed over the phantom of my heaven-opening battle halberd to amplify its power?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xuance shot him a glance as if he were an idiot:

"You can put a layer of Spiritual Qi over the heaven-opening battle halberd? Then you're pretty amazing."

His tone was calm, but the sarcasm was full.

Yun Zexuan also shook his head helplessly and added, "The heaven-opening battle halberd is a projection of a true opening heaven Divine Artifact. Its intent can cut Karma, split Divine Thought, and its sharpness is unparalleled. Ordinary Spiritual Qi has to steer clear, let alone attach to it to form a stable structure."

Chu Wujiu rubbed his nose, rebuffed, but his thoughts didn't stop. He unleashed his imagination again:

"The heaven-opening battle halberd won't work... what about the Heaven and Earth Law?"

"The weapon condensed in the hands of the Heaven and Earth Law is formed by Spiritual Qi, and its hardness is always a bit lacking. If it could..."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Qin Wangchuan, who had proposed this idea, and he said righteously, "You figure out a way."

Qin Wangchuan actually nodded upon hearing this: "Actually, I was thinking when I used the Heavenly Ruin Tribulation Finger to penetrate Li Qingluan's Heaven and Earth Law. That weapon itself is essentially a mass of Spiritual Qi, too fragile."

"If paper soldiers could be used as the bone, the weapon's strength might increase."

"Paper soldiers?"

Everyone in the courtyard showed confused expressions, and even Zhou Yunyi, who had been trying to lower his presence, couldn't help but perk up his ears.

"Paper soldiers are easy to refine, convenient to carry, and their size and shape can be determined by the refiner's will." Qin Wangchuan slowly explained, "But the benefits don't stop there."

His gaze swept over everyone, lingering for a moment on Chu Wujiu, who possessed a Heaven and Earth Law:

"Ordinary Heaven and Earth Dharma Bodies cannot long hold external Divine Artifacts because the Heaven and Earth Law itself is a highly pure Spiritual Qi aggregate."

"And Magic Treasures and Divine Artifacts themselves also contain spiritual patterns and power. The two sources of Spiritual Qi are different, and their attributes may not be compatible. Forcibly driving them will not only be unhelpful but may also interfere with each other, leading to a decrease in the Heaven and Earth Law's power."

"If one holds something without Spiritual Qi, it's even more useless."

"But paper soldiers are different."

As Qin Wangchuan raised his hand, a talisman flew out from his bosom, and with the flow of spiritual light, it was folded into a delicate small sword:

"The material of the paper soldier itself is ordinary, and its core is more like 'bone'. The Heaven and Earth Law holds it in hand, using its own Spiritual Qi to generate 'flesh' on the paper soldier, manifesting the weapon most suitable for itself."

"In this way, the Heaven and Earth Law is an extension of the Cultivator, and the paper soldier is an extension of the Heaven and Earth Law. The three become one, capable of becoming stronger."

After speaking, he looked at everyone: "If the Heaven and Earth Law's weapon had paper soldiers as its internal skeleton, encountering the Heavenly Ruin Tribulation Finger again might not be so easily broken."

This was the ingenious idea of paper figures holding weapons from before.

If paper figures could wield weapons, why couldn't the Heaven and Earth Law?

Yan Wujin kept nodding as he listened from the side.

It wasn't until Qin Wangchuan finished speaking that he suddenly waved his hand and loudly declared, "It's too complicated, I don't understand!"

Zhao Lingyun, annoyed, directly kicked his resurrection pool from a distance, splashing a few small waves: "If you don't understand, why are you nodding!"

"Go play with your bird!"

After saying that, he turned to Qin Wangchuan, his expression already very serious, his eyes gleaming with the light of research and exploration:

"Paper soldiers... using ordinary objects as a guide, bearing the Heaven and Earth Law... this idea might really work!"

"I'll go research it! Tell me if you make any progress too."

Saying this, Zhao Lingyun wanted to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and looked back at everyone:

"Oh, right, while you all were unconscious these past few days, I investigated the surroundings and found a Secret Realm nearby."

"Rumor has it that there are Opportunities hidden within, which might help one condense a dual Heaven and Earth Law. Want to go take a look?"

"Dual Heaven and Earth Law, are you trying to scare people?"

"You'd sooner believe Yan Wujin could beat a bird than believe that."

"Hey, Yun, are you trying to pick a fight?!"

Seeing the topic about to derail again, Zhao Lingyun quickly raised his hand to calm them down and explained, "Whether the rumor is true or not, the Secret Realm itself is definitely real."

"Anyway, everyone is reconstructing their Dao body, and their Qi is unstable these past few days. They need to stretch their muscles and bones to adapt, and just sitting around is boring. How about we go explore its reality, just for a change of pace and some experience?"

As they spoke, several people began to sign up, while Qin Wangchuan lowered his head, pondering something.

But Wang Xuance's thoughts were not on the Secret Realm.

His purple eyes quietly opened, silently observing Qin Wangchuan, and at this moment he finally confirmed:

'This person shares his ideas and calmly observes the situation, not out of arrogance, but out of absolute confidence—he truly isn't afraid of being surpassed.'

Another era-defining change was about to arrive.
