Ling Tian Sword God

Unknowingly, the sky grew dark.

The air was filled with an invisible murderous aura, and if one was not careful, it would invade the mind and cause disturbance.

Sima Linyuan was the first to awaken from the meditation state and woke up the others.

Ye Ming said, ”Ling Chen is still cultivating, should we remind him?”

Sima Linyuan shook his head, ”There is no need for that. Ling Chen’s will is steadfast, and his Sword Heart is clear. Such a little murderous aura can’t affect him.”

”Moreover, he just absorbed the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit, so he is probably at the critical stage of breaking through.”

In the center of the mountain’s belly.

In the quiet stone chamber within the mountain’s belly, Ling Chen sat quietly in a cross-legged position on a stone platform, eyes closed, hands forming cultivation seals, and a quite condensed aura silently emanated from his body.

As the True Qi kept pouring in, Ling Chen’s aura gradually recovered... This kind of cultivation lasted for a full three hours. Only then did Ling Chen’s motionless figure tremble slightly, and he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, exhaling a puff of slightly fishy white breath along his throat.

When that white breath was exhaled, the last trace of dimness on Ling Chen’s face disappeared at this moment, and his pitch-black eyes regained the previous concentration and brightness.

Ling Chen was clearly aware of the changes within his body, and a hint of joy flashed across his face. He originally thought the injury would be quite troublesome, but unexpected never only after half a day’s work, he completely erased the aftereffects brought by swallowing the Dragon Origin Fruit... Furthermore, as his injuries healed and his strength restored, Ling Chen also discovered something that delighted him exceedingly. His cultivation, after this severe injury, had progressed astonishingly, even reaching the critical point of a breakthrough.

”Is it because of that Dragon Origin Fruit?”

Ling Chen pondered. The Dragon Origin Fruit indeed has the miraculous effect of enhancing strength. If Ling Chen methodically refined and consumed it, breaking through to the Sky Apex Realm Third Layer would naturally happen sooner or later. However, given the circumstances then, obviously, there was no time for peaceful refining, so he had to dare, forcibly devouring the Dragon Origin Fruit in exchange for a temporary surge in power... The price for this was that most of the energy from the Dragon Origin Fruit was consumed in the fierce battle, and what Ling Chen ultimately absorbed was only half.

Despite this, Ling Chen still relied on half the medicinal power to reach the critical point of breakthrough.

”What a wondrous Dragon Origin Fruit. It contains a vast amount of Dragon Yuan Power and can nourish the body and expand the Dantian.”

Upon reaching the Sky Apex Realm, a breakthrough in realm also constitutes a breakthrough in the Dantian. Expanding the Dantian makes breakthroughs in realms a natural process because only by expanding the Dantian can one broaden the True Qi Spirit Sea and advance further in cultivation.

With his mind’s perception, Ling Chen felt the Dantian undergoing transformation, and as the Dantian transformed, the True Qi Spirit Sea within also transformed, becoming more vast and pure.

”It’s about time.”

Ling Chen took a deep breath, and the ocean of True Qi within the Dantian immediately rolled out like a tempest, an endless storm.

Pop!

The center of the low mountain peak witnessed a sudden disturbance in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Instantly, astonishing spiritual energy gathered into a majestic flow, penetrating the mountain’s surface, pouring into Ling Chen’s body. His body seemed like an incredibly precise instrument, continuously absorbing this spiritual energy from heaven and earth, merging it with the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit, and converting it into True Qi.

”Breakthrough?”

On the periphery of the mountain’s belly, Sima Linyuan and others felt the change in heaven and earth caused by Ling Chen.

”Tsk tsk, worthy of being the fifth on the Green History List, he breaks through just like that,” Ye Ming couldn’t help but praise.

”No, Ling Chen’s breakthrough seems easy, but it is probably more difficult than ours.”

Sima Linyuan shook his head. The more extraordinary a genius is, the harder it is to break through in realm, because their potential far surpasses ordinary people. Each breakthrough requires filling their potential and transforming it into strength.

In the vast mountain’s belly, Ling Chen slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of cold light shot out. He pointed with a finger at the opposite wall of the mountain’s belly.

Puff!

The inner wall of the mountain’s belly seemed to rot, softened, and a wisp of stone powder sprinkled down.

”Lingtian True Qi has become more condensed.”

Ling Chen withdrew his palm, and now even a simple sword finger possesses such penetrating power, far stronger than before.

Clang!

Drawing the Thunder Shadow Sword from his waist, Ling Chen did not utilize True Qi. He performed the two styles of the Green Lotus Sword Song that he currently mastered.

”Ascending Green Lotus!”

”Blue Lotus Capture!”

Watching these two moves, one offensive and one defensive, is quite perfect. However, Ling Chen cannot exert the true power of these two major sword techniques at present. After all, the Green Lotus Sword Song is the swordsmanship of Taibai Sword Immortal. With Ling Chen’s cultivation in the Sky Apex Realm, being able to display even one-third of its power is the limit.

The Green Lotus Sword Song itself can be said to be a treasure, with unknown how many and how strong the sword techniques it contains. Ling Chen needs to continually comprehend it, developing new sword techniques from it.

The Dragon Seeking Sword Technique is just a King-level sword technique, and for Ling Chen, who now possesses numerous absolute skills, its power can only be considered ordinary. The Unbeatable Sword Technique is the same, and although Ling Chen has mastered all nine styles of the Red Sky Sword Technique, there is still room for development in the Red Sky Sword Technique.

”Clothing that became rainbow, the wind as horse, and the lord of the cloud descends along with a list of beings.

The tiger plays the zither and the mythical bird returns, the immortals arranged like hemp.”

Ling Chen pondered the next phase’s realm of the Green Lotus Sword Song.

Within the Green Lotus Sword Song, there are many different verses, and these verses have extraordinary realms, with each line containing profound realms, mysterious and unfathomable.

An hour later, Ling Chen walked out of the mountain’s belly.

”Ling Chen, how is it?”

Sima Linyuan and the others came in.

Ling Chen smiled and said, ”It’s okay, I managed to advance successfully without wasting the Dragon Origin Fruit.”

”As long as it’s okay, everyone was worried about your injury. I didn’t expect you’d be fine so soon.”

Sima Linyuan nodded. Ling Chen’s forced consumption of the Dragon Origin Fruit must have severely injured him. He estimated it would take at least three to five days, but it was only a day, and Ling Chen had fully recovered.

”I’m fine. The injury was not as severe as imagined.”

If it were an average person, it would naturally be impossible to recover so quickly, but Ling Chen, thanks to the protection of the Divine Dragon Jade, managed to control the medicinal power of the Dragon Origin Fruit, protecting his organs and meridians, so the injury seemed severe but wasn’t too deep.

”I’ve made everyone wait for so long, sorry about that. Let’s prepare to set off!”

Exploring the Burial Dragon Ancient Land is a race against time. Delaying too long would mean missing opportunities, though he’s fine alone, he cannot burden the members of the Green Mountain Association.

”If so, then let’s gather everyone and set off immediately!”

Sima Linyuan nodded. After resting for one night, everyone was in good condition.

They had only explored half of this Burial Dragon Ancient Land. Although treasures like the Dragon Origin Fruit had already appeared, there were still many unknown places in this ancient land, and it’s possible even greater treasures could emerge.
