The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Battle Against the Fire Cloud Beast Again Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Battle Against the Fire Cloud Beast Again Jing Yan had been in seclusion to promote his Cultivation to the Innate Realm, after ten days had passed.

“Boom!”

A black sword light suddenly shot out.

“Bang!”

The boulder was obliterated into fine dust without any obstruction, under the gentle stir of the sword light.

Immediately afterward, a cyan figure swiftly flashed out from the entrance of the cave.

“Huff!”

Exhaling a breath, Jing Yan’s gaze swept around the dense white fog, his face also wearing a faint smile.

Having entered the Innate Realm, Jing Yan’s Eye Power had obviously been significantly enhanced.

Previously, when he had not yet advanced to the Innate Realm, he could only see the scenery within a hundred meters in the deeper areas of the Sinful Canyon.

But now, he could clearly see everything within several hundred meters.

All five senses had been significantly improved.

After advancing to the Innate Realm, Jing Yan had consumed a large number of ordinary Spirit Stones, making the Primordial Energy within the created Fog Vortex during his breakthrough become abundant.

Not only that, but he also completely repaired the last three flaws of the Moon Cutting Sword Technique that he hadn’t resolved before.

When tested by the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, the Moon Cutting Sword Technique had a total of eleven flaws.

Jing Yan had repaired six of them while at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven.

When he became a Half-step Innate, he repaired another two.

At that time, there were only three flaws left unresolved, which he completely fixed after breaking through to become one of the Innate Strong People.

The power of the Moon Cutting Sword Technique had thus been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, Jing Yan’s Moon Cutting Sword Technique’s integration with the Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Sword and the Condensed Moon Three Waves had further improved, reaching as much as fifty percent integration.

Fifty percent integration was already very astonishing, and Jing Yan could feel that it might be difficult to further intensify this integration in a short period.

Continued integration would require epiphanies during use.

It was no longer merely related to his realm.

Perhaps, a minor epiphany while using it could increase the integration of the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique to sixty or even seventy percent.

Martial Arts also required tempering.

“Whoosh!”

Jing Yan swiftly flew toward the location where he had discovered the Purple Incense Flower.

This time, his speed was much faster than when he first delved deeply into the Sinful Canyon because he was now in the Innate Realm.

With his current Cultivation, even if he encountered several level-seven spiritual beasts attacking him together, let alone four, even eight level-seven spiritual beasts, he could easily cope.

Propelling the Sky Wings, he sped wildly along!

Jing Yan remembered that before his advancement to the Innate Realm, he was chased by a level-eight Fire Cloud Beast for about half an hour before he managed to shake it off.

This implied that the distance he had traveled with all his might while propelling the Sky Wings for half an hour was the distance to the location where he found the Purple Incense Flower.

Thus, with his current Cultivation in the Innate Realm, propelling the Sky Wings would allow him to arrive at that location in even less time.

Even if he did not use all his Primordial Energy to the maximum, he could arrive at the Purple Incense Flower’s location in less than half an hour.

Propelling the Sky Wings in the Innate Realm was much faster than when he was a Half-step Innate.

Jing Yan had a rough estimate in his heart, and, feeling that it was about time, he began to slow down and observe carefully.

He wasn’t sure whether the level eight Fire Cloud Beast was still at its previous location.

If the Fire Cloud Beast was no longer there, he could easily get his hands on the remaining eight Purple Incense Flowers.

Now, personally, Jing Yan no longer needed Purple Incense Flowers.

However, they were an essential ingredient for concocting that particular Medicine, and although Jing Yan was already in the Innate Realm and did not need the Medicine for himself, he could still produce it and sell it.

One could imagine the frenzy that would ensue amongst Martial Artists once the effects of the Medicine were confirmed, and its value would certainly reach an astonishing level.

Although Jing Yan had over two hundred thousand Spirit Stone Gold Card on him, such an amount might seem substantial to an ordinary Martial Artist, but for Jing Yan, it was far from enough.

His advancement from Half-step Innate to the Innate Realm alone had consumed a total of twenty-two Top-grade Spirit Stones, in addition to twenty or thirty thousand ordinary spiritual stones in cash.

The resources he would need for future cultivation would amount to an astronomical figure.

Twenty-two Top-grade Spirit Stones were almost worth ninety thousand ordinary spiritual stones.

Adding the ordinary spiritual stones he had used, the consumption reached an astonishing total of over one hundred thousand.

And this did not even include the several thousand ordinary spiritual stones spent on buying various Spirit Grasses required for concocting the Medicine.

In the future, Jing Yan would have to advance to the Innate Middle Stage, Late Innate, and Peak of Innate, with each step requiring a massive amount of Spirit Stones.

Therefore, producing and selling some of this heaven-defying Medicine would undoubtedly be a quick way to accumulate Spirit Stones.

“Roar!”

The Fire Cloud Beast had not left the location where Jing Yan found the Purple Incense Flowers; it was still there.

In fact, its lair was nearby the location of the Purple Incense Flowers.

The first time Jing Yan arrived here, the Fire Cloud Beast was resting in its lair.

It was the scent of a human that brought it out of its nest, after which it launched an attack on Jing Yan.

This time, Jing Yan was approaching the place for the second time.

Once again, the Fire Cloud Beast smelled the scent of a human and let out an angry roar instantly.

It wanted to rest, yet humans kept appearing nearby again and again, which made it incredibly angry.

Of course, it wasn’t satisfied that it hadn’t managed to kill and eat the human intruder the first time.

Despite many days having passed, its anger had not completely dissipated, and it was provoked yet again by the presence of a human near its territory.

With a furious roar, it charged out fiercely towards the source of the scent, moving with unparalleled swiftness.

“Hmm?”

“That mangy beast is indeed still here!” Jing Yan’s eyes focused slightly as he heard the Fire Cloud Beast’s roar.

His Primordial Energy instantly began to circulate, and he stared intently in the direction of the sound.

As Jing Yan had anticipated, within the time it took for a breath to be taken after the roar, the entirely crimson level eight Fire Cloud Beast came into his line of sight—meaning it appeared only a few hundred meters from him.

Given the Fire Cloud Beast’s speed, those few hundred meters could be covered in the blink of an eye, bringing it directly in front of Jing Yan.

“Roar!”

Jing Yan saw the Fire Cloud Beast, and the Fire Cloud Beast identified Jing Yan; it clearly remembered him.

It knew that it was this despicable human who had come here ten days ago to disturb it and had even mocked it.

This tiny human was very fast; even the beast had not been able to catch up with the despicable fellow, who only knew how to escape.

Unexpectedly, this human, who was so quick to flee, had the audacity to venture back into its territory.

This time, no matter what, it would not let this human go; it had to be killed and consumed.
