Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1545: Chapter 1544 Yangxin Sword

When Lin Dong stepped from the fifth floor into the sixth.

From the outside, the light from the sixth floor of the Treasure Pagoda burst forth in a dazzling display.

Seeing this, Cao Yuan was thrilled, ”The Dragon Lord has passed the fifth stage!”

The other four elders also widened their eyes, filled with utter shock.

”The fifth stage, in history, only one person has ever passed it. Now, there is also Master Lin,” said Old Dong, surprised.

Elder Chen was also joyful, ”The position of the first steward is rightfully his. Under Young Friend Lin’s leadership, the Martial Arbitration Union will surely reach new heights.”

But suddenly, he thought of another matter, the upcoming life-and-death duel between Lin Dong and King Kunlun.

”When the time comes, our Martial Arbitration Union must intervene to stop King Kunlun. We cannot allow King Kunlun to kill such a Tianjiao from our Dragon Country!” Elder Chen said solemnly.

Everyone nodded in agreement, deciding to intervene on the day of the great battle to restrain King Kunlun’s mercy.

Meanwhile, inside the National Technique Tower, Lin Dong entered the sixth floor.

This sixth floor was even smaller in area than the previous five floors.

In its center was an ancient iron sword, sheathed so that not even the slightest bit of edge was visible.

An ever-burning lamp was placed beside the plain iron sword, illuminating the murals on the walls.

Lin Dong glanced at them and realized that the murals on the sixth floor were not of martial arts, but of a cultivation technique.

”You have truly reached the sixth floor,” came a calm voice at that moment.

Lin Dong looked in the direction of the voice and saw a soul remnant slowly emerge.

At first, it was just a shadowy figure, quite transparent, but gradually it began to solidify.

”Greetings, Yangxin Superior!” Lin Dong recognized it as the soul remnant of Yangxin Superior.

However, the soul remnant on the sixth floor was more solid than that on the first floor, suggesting that it was the main part of his spirit and soul.

The soul remnant of Yangxin Superior watched Lin Dong for a long while, then laughingly said, ”To reach such a level at the age of twenty-one is truly extraordinary!”

Lin Dong replied humbly, ”You flatter me too much, Senior.”

Then he got straight to the point, ”Senior Yangxin Superior, I heard from Senior Seal Demon on the fifth floor that if I pass the sixth level, I will receive a treasure.”

”This treasure will help me fight against Nine-Segment Grandmaster Powerhouses.”

The soul remnant of Yangxin Superior nodded and then pointed to the iron sword in the middle of the pagoda, saying:

”The treasure Seal Demon spoke of is this. My Yangxin Sword.”

”If you can pass this final challenge, then I will gift you my Yangxin Sword. With it, you certainly can fight a Nine Stage Grandmaster. Even against a Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster, you can rely on it to fight on equal footing.”

”This Yangxin Sword was nourished by me for two hundred years during my life. After death, my spirit and soul continued to nurture it for three hundred years. Five hundred years in total!”

”If the Yangxin Sword remains sheathed, it stays so. But once drawn, what would a Nine Stage Grandmaster amount to in its presence?”

Hearing this, he swished his gaze toward the iron sword.

He could never have imagined that this unassuming iron sword had been nurtured for five hundred years.

A Heavenly Realm Martial Artist who had nurtured it for two hundred years during his life and continued for another three hundred years after death with his spirit and soul – Lin Dong could not fathom the strength of such a sword once drawn.

But with it in his hands, Lin Dong would definitely be able to challenge a Nine Segment Grandmaster!

Hope ignited in his eyes. If he could possess it, perhaps he indeed could challenge King Kunlun.

At the moment, he withdrew his gaze and looked once again at the spirit of Yangxin Upper People, cupping his fists in greeting as he asked,

”Then may I ask Senior, how should I get through this level?”

”This level does not require you to fight, you just need to learn the ’Yangxin Decision’ from the wall within seven days. In addition, you need to fuse at least four different kinds of national arts at Grandmaster level together.”

”Once you do that, you can pass this level!”

Hearing this, Lin Dong’s eyes lit up as he said, ”Senior, is that all?”

The spirit of the Yangxin Upper People was taken aback and laughed wryly, ”Young man, it’s not as simple as you think.”

”Just the second point, fusing at least four Grandmaster-level national techniques, is not something an ordinary person can do. The last person who challenged this level six was defeated at this point.”

”Although he had mastered five Grandmaster-level national arts, he couldn’t fuse them together; the limit of what he could do was to combine three Grandmaster-level national arts. But that’s still not enough. It has to be at least four techniques fused together!”

”As for cultivating the Yangxin Decision, it also depends on talent. Some people might not succeed even after a hundred years of cultivation, let alone in seven days!”

”So, passing the sixth level is far from as simple as you imagine.”

Lin Dong said with a fist-greeting, ”Senior, may I first practice the fusion of four national arts?”

”Of course.” The Yangxin Upper People gave a nod, as there was no particular order for this.

Lin Dong began to practice the fusion of the four national arts.

He chose Tai Chi, Baji, Pigua, and Xingyi, all at the Grandmaster realm, and threw a punch.

”Boom!” The power of this punch was ten times stronger than the Baji fist at a pure Grandmaster level.

Far greater than the sum of 1+1+1+1 equaling 4.

Seeing this, the spirit of the Yangxin Upper People exclaimed, ”So you’ve already mastered four Grandmaster-level national arts and can fuse them.”

”And it seems this is not your limit. What is your limit? How many national arts can you fuse at most?”

Lin Dong mused, ”I can fuse six national arts, specifically, the three major internal fist styles and the three major external martial arts!”

”What? Six national arts, and you can fuse them all by yourself?” The spirit of the Yangxin Upper People was astonished.

A martial artist who hasn’t even reached the Heavenly Realm can actually achieve the fusion of six great national arts?

Lin Dong nodded and said, ”I’ll demonstrate it for Senior.”

”Okay, show me quickly.” The spirit of the Yangxin Upper People urged.

At that time, Lin Dong began to practice, fusing the six great national arts of Tai Chi, Baji, Xingyi, Eight Trigrams, Pigua, and Tongbei into one punch.

He had named this punch ’Liuhe Dragon Fist’!

”Boom!” The power of this punch was incredibly frightening; with this punch, Lin Dong could fight against an early level Ninth Stage Grandmaster martial artist.

Seeing this, the Yangxin Upper People was immensely astounded.

He had never imagined that Lin Dong could actually fuse six Grandmaster-level national arts!

In his life, he had also only managed to fuse five national arts, yet Lin Dong, who had not yet reached the Heavenly Realm, had accomplished what he could not.

”You truly are a genius of our national art, it seems that my Dragon Country’s martial art will certainly blossom to its peak in your hands.”

”How wonderful it would have been if I had lived in the same era as you. Then, I would have had the fortune to witness such an era of national art prosperity!”

He looked at Lin Dong as if he were seeing the flourishing future of martial arts.
