Unlocking the Innate Kidney Body, Both Immortals and Demons Cried!

65: ”Ancient Sword Technique”, Rune Doll!Su Yang thought he had displayed exceptional talent in Cultivation.

Therefore, Grand Elder Xuan Yan and Grand Elder Xuan Jian were eager to verify his talent once more.

Su Yang opened the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art.”

The text and images within almost simultaneously appeared in his sea of consciousness.

The difference was that these texts and images did not form a new array in his sea of consciousness; instead, they formed an unusual three-dimensional rune puppet constructed from runes on top of the array.

After he finished reading the first section, the rune puppet was just an outline.

After he finished reading the second section, the rune puppet’s form became much richer.

By the time Su Yang finished all fifteen sections of the entire ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art,” a complete rune puppet had formed on the array, with every part from bone to flesh to skin composed of text and images, like a person with character tattoos covering every inch of his skin.

He just stood there motionless in the core area of the array.

When Su Yang performed an inner vision, he discovered that his own consciousness had formed a unique connection with this rune puppet.

As he approached the rune puppet, a powerful gravitational force directly pulled his consciousness over, merging it with the rune puppet.

The rune puppet, which had been motionless, began to Move swiftly.

A portion of the runes within his body separated, forming a black and white rune sword in his hand.

The rune puppet began to practice exquisite sword arts in the core area of the array.

The first section of the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” was the first Move of the sword art he was practicing.

Accompanying the practice of the first Move, the first rune halo, which was rotating in an irregular three-dimensional manner around the core area of the array, emitted an even brighter light.

Su Yang could clearly feel that the first Move of the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” had a strong correlation with the first major Realm of the ”Dao Yan Immortal Art.”

It seemed that this ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” required the powerful true Qi provided by the ”Dao Yan Immortal Art” to unleash its strongest power!

During the practice of the second Move, both the first rune halo and the second rune halo emitted even brighter lights.

Just as Su Yang had expected, when the third Move was practiced, the first, second, and third rune halos all became brighter.

At the same time, the power contained within the sword Move also grew stronger.

But by the fourth Move, the rune puppet’s movements stopped.

Su Yang’s consciousness also detached from the rune puppet; the three sword Moves he had just practiced were completely imprinted in his consciousness, impossible to forget.

”I didn’t expect this ’Ancient Desolate Sword Art’ could be Cultivated this way.”

”This doesn’t even require learning!”

”A Soul Transformation Stage Cultivation powerhouse is indeed different; the Cultivation Secret Manual he gives is just powerful!”

Su Yang secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The only regrettable thing was that this ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” was bound to the Cultivation Realm; one could only unlock one sword Move per Realm advancement.

He had just entered the Golden Core Stage, so he could only use the first three sword Moves from the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” at most.

Su Yang detached from his sea of consciousness.

He closed the book.

He found that the Three Grand Elders, and even Gu Yue, were all staring at him in astonishment.

”What’s wrong with you all? Is there something wrong with me?”

I’m just reading a book, why are you all looking like you’ve seen a ghost?

Little did he know that when he immersed himself in his sea of consciousness and merged with the rune puppet to practice the sword Moves, the true Qi within his body was also mobilized, and powerful Sword Qi continuously emanated from him.

This scene was something neither Gu Yue nor the Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, had ever witnessed.

”How much... did you comprehend?”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian immediately asked, not answering his confusion.

”Reporting to Revered Master. I have finished reading it all, but the ’Ancient Desolate Sword Art’ is bound to the Cultivation Realm, so I can currently only use the first three Moves; I haven’t learned the subsequent Moves yet.”

Su Yang said.

”You... you’ve already learned the first three Moves???”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian almost let out a shout.

He had spent three days and three nights flipping through the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” and still hadn’t fully understood the first Move.

Su Yang had actually learned all three of the first Moves???

Su Yang said, ”Thanks to this ’Ancient Desolate Sword Art’ that Grand Elder Xuan Jian imparted to this Disciple, with its easy and unique learning method, this Disciple has indeed mastered the first three Moves corresponding to my Realm. I believe that as my Realm improves in the future, I will also be able to easily Revered Master the subsequent sword Moves!”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian’s mouth twitched. Easy and unique???

What was easy about it?

Where was the ease???

Grand Elder Xuan Jian suppressed his temper and said in a deliberately low voice, ”Tell your Revered Master everything you have comprehended. Your Revered Master wants to see your talent!”

”Yes!”

”During the process of reading this ’Ancient Desolate Sword Art,’ the text and images formed a rune puppet in my sea of consciousness. When my consciousness merges with the rune puppet, the rune puppet can practice sword Moves. When my consciousness detaches from the rune puppet, the sword Moves practiced by the rune puppet automatically appear in my consciousness.”

”Is what this Disciple has comprehended correct?”

Su Yang finished speaking and bowed, seeking guidance.

After all, this ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” was given by Grand Elder Xuan Jian, who was at the Body Integration Stage, so Su Yang truly believed that this was his own Cultivation Secret Manual.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian: ...How would I know if what you comprehended is correct?

I haven’t even comprehended what you comprehended!

Grand Elder Xuan Jian was so astonished at this moment that he couldn’t believe that in the time it took to just flip through a book, he had already mastered the first three Moves of such an exquisite sword manual.

”Cough, cough...”

”Talking without practicing is just empty talk. Let your Revered Master see the first three Moves you have mastered.”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian feigned an inspection.

Su Yang had no doubts.

He summoned his divine sword and began to practice the first three Moves from the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art.”

In his sea of consciousness, the first ring of the array formed by the ”Dao Yan Immortal Art” lit up.

The first Move: Dawn Break.

A single Sword Qi gleam arose, and ten thousand Sword Qi burst forth.

Seemingly casual sword dancing, yet it re-condensed the bursting ten thousand Sword Qi in a way that transcended thought.

A colossal divine sword thrust upwards.

Where the Sword Qi passed, a short-lived, twisted five-colored rift was left in space.

The thick clouds in the sky split in two, revealing a strip of blue sky that spanned the horizon and could not close for a long time.

Sunlight streamed down, as if truly bringing dawn to this world.

The Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, and Gu Yue, who were observing, all had their pupils constrict, their faces filled with horror.

According to Su Yang, the first Move corresponded to the Qi Refinement Stage.

To unleash such terrifying power with a single sword strike at the Qi Refinement Stage, if all the Moves were mastered, the power would likely not just be astonishing, but would alarm the Heavenly Dao.

Su Yang did not pay attention to their gazes.

The sword Moves in the ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art” could be used independently or consecutively.

Since he was demonstrating what he had learned to Grand Elder Xuan Jian, there was naturally no need to break down each Move.

In his sea of consciousness, the first and second rune halos simultaneously burst with strong light, and his Innate Kidney Body also increased its output, efficiently releasing pure and powerful true Qi within his body.

Su Yang’s figure spun rapidly, the Dawn Break sword descended sharply, the colossal sword burst forth with even more violent Sword Qi, splitting the flat, open ground at the foot of the mountain in two with an unstoppable force, carving out a great rift over a hundred meters long.

The sword’s edge was too fast, the Sword Qi too strong, and the two walls of the great rift were as smooth and even as if polished.

This was the second Move—Earth Split!

The sword rose!

In his sea of consciousness, the first, second, and third rings lit up.

The power of the divine sword increased by another level.

The sword danced like the wind, and sharp Qi bursting from his body stirred up a true Qi whirlwind. The whirlwind was like blades, and ten thousand blades converged on the sword. Su Yang struck the hilt of the sword with his palm, and the divine sword shot out like a streak of light. The surrounding true Qi blades exploded and scattered, and as the divine sword advanced rapidly, these scattered true Qi blades continuously shredded everything in their path.

The third Move—Sky Sundering!

The three Moves concluded.

The divine sword returned.

The scene was utterly silent.

The Three Grand Elders, Xuan Qing, Xuan Yan, and Xuan Jian, were already dumbfounded.

Especially Grand Elder Xuan Jian.

Su Yang had displayed such formidable power with his Early Golden Core Stage strength. If Su Yang were to enter the Soul Transformation Stage, he might be able to fight him to a draw across two major Realms, relying on the divine sword in his hand and his mastery of the ”Dao Yan Immortal Art” and ”Ancient Desolate Sword Art.”

He, who was obsessed with the Dao of the Sword Immortal, felt his Dao Heart stir at this moment.

Looking at Su Yang, his eyes flickered with an unusual impulse.

”Revered Master, how is this Disciple’s learning?”

Su Yang sheathed his sword, bowed, and asked.

Before Grand Elder Xuan Jian could speak, Grand Elder Xuan Yan eagerly pushed Grand Elder Xuan Jian aside, ”What does he know? Quickly, look at the ’Dao Transformation Elixir Art’ I gave you! Hurry, hurry, start reading.”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan directly opened the book and placed it in his hand.

Su Yang: ???

Why is everyone in such a hurry!?

Su Yang was puzzled, only assuming that his outstanding talent had made them ecstatic.

He continued to read the ”Dao Transformation Elixir Art”...
