Chapter 429: Chapter 427: The Mystery of Conception

Looking at the miserable state of Second Senior Brother Chi Zhonglin, Zhong Lin also twitched his eye.

“Master, is Second Senior Brother alright?”

“That thick-skinned scoundrel won’t die. To think that I, the dignified Thunder Sword King, with such wisdom throughout my life, ended up taking a disciple like this.” Xi Xuan gritted his teeth and said.

Sure enough, the rocks on the ground squirmed, and Chi Zhonglin jumped out and fled again, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

“Zhong Lin, don’t ever learn from him!”

“I won’t, I won’t.”

Zhong Lin quickly waved his hand, thinking he couldn’t withstand that terrifying blow from his Master, at least not now, or else he’d be turned into mince.

“Has Old Two already introduced you to our Sword Pavilion?”

“Yes!”

“Any thoughts?”

“Disciple will definitely work hard in cultivation and will never tarnish the Sword Pavilion’s reputation.” Zhong Lin said with a determined face.

“Haha, good! Come, let’s go to the Scripture Pavilion.”

The Scripture Pavilion is located halfway up Sword Pavilion Mountain, with a collection of over 36,000 volumes, almost encompassing most sword manuals from ancient to modern times, truly a holy land for swordsmen.

“The first floor holds some mundane swordsmanship, being the most numerous. Don’t underestimate these mundane sword techniques. These people’s aptitudes may not be great, but their insights are extraordinary, and the sword techniques they create are quite worth learning. Studying them can broaden your horizons.”

“The second floor is a pile of various graded martial arts, with Yellow Level, Dark Level, Earth Level, and Heavenly Level; you can choose some that you like for training, but remember not to be greedy.”

“As for the third floor, it holds our Sword Pavilion’s ultimate skill, ’Returning to Origin Sword Embryo’.”

“Master, what kind of martial arts is the ’Returning to Origin Sword Embryo’?” Zhong Lin couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked.

Xi Xuan said proudly, “’Returning to Origin Sword Embryo’ was created by our Sword Pavilion’s founder, Master Bai Yun. It condenses the supreme sword embryo within one’s body, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and after being honed over time, it finally transforms into a sword artifact containing the essence of Qian Kun, which can move at will, injuring enemies from afar, and decapitating heads from thousands of miles away.

And this sword artifact, unlike the lifebound weapon, is birthed from the void but interferes with reality, blurring the line between the real and unreal, attacking and defending, its power is boundless.

’Returning to Origin Sword Embryo’ has transcended the limitations of skill levels and is classified as a Martial Arts Divine Ability,” Xi Xuan said.

Zhong Lin’s heart skipped a bit upon hearing this.

“Divine skill…”

Divine skills are a higher grade than skill, the ultimate sublimation of skill, with power surpassing that of Heavenly Level skills.

“Master, can I learn it?” Zhong Lin eagerly asked.

Divine skill, a divine skill indeed!

Being stronger than a skill, he naturally wanted to cultivate it immediately to feel the strength of a divine skill.

“Of course, you may, but ’Returning to Origin Sword Embryo’ is extremely domineering and difficult to cultivate. Before cultivating it, it’s best to break through to the Yin Yang Realm in cultivation. Otherwise, even if you manage to practice it, just one attack would suck you dry.”

As Xi Xuan spoke, he took out a jade bottle from the storage bracelet.

“This is the Yin Yang Melt Spirit Pill. Taking it will allow your Xuandan to reach perfection. I will also consult the Sect Master to request a strand of Sea Heart Yin Evil for you, to help you break through to the Yin Yang Realm. You can then cultivate the ’Returning to Origin Sword Embryo’.” Xi Xuan said.

“Yes, thank you, Master.”

At this moment, Zhong Lin once again felt the delight of apprenticing under Yin Daoyan in the Xuan Gui Continent back in the day, with a mentor arranging everything for you, and all you have to do is follow the plan without having to painstakingly search for opportunities.

Neither the Yin Yang Melt Spirit Pill nor the Sea Heart Yin Evil are things Zhong Lin could obtain in a short time, especially the Sea Heart Yin Evil, which is a first-grade Yin Evil energy deeply hidden beneath the sea, one of the top Yin Evils for breaking through to the Yin Yang Realm.

“Master, there is one more thing I don’t understand.”

“Speak up.”

“Master, can the Sword Intent continue to grow after reaching perfection?”

This was one of the reasons Zhong Lin always wanted a renowned teacher. While self-cultivation is free and unrestrained, there are many cultivation-related questions without anyone to answer. One must know that martial arts cultivation should be followed step by step; a slight mistake would be like a tall building built on a shaky foundation, confined without breakthrough, which is the lightest consequence; a small error might even bring about death and destruction.

Xi Xuan patted Zhong Lin’s shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction.

“Not bad, much stronger than Old Two—discovering the subtleties of conception so early, and even comprehending Sword Intent to perfection; do you know what the biggest obstacle to breaking through to the King Realm is?”

Zhong Lin was taken aback. Weren’t they talking about conception comprehension? Why suddenly leap to the King Realm? Is this something I can currently think about?

“Disciple does not know.”

“The cultivation of the Yin Yang Realm requires integrating Yin Yang Evil Qi, the Life and Death Realm requires understanding life and death, the Nirvana Realm requires comprehending the power of Nirvana, and breaking through to the King Realm requires transforming conception into domain.

The so-called domain is where one thought is born, and myriad insights cease. The domain is akin to a world prototype, and the Martial Artist within is the absolute ruler. One can encompass others within, and with a single thought, kill them.

This is also why the King Realm is also known as Sealing King; as the saying goes, ’Under heaven, there is no land not under the king’s reign,’ the land covered by the domain is the king’s soil, and the king can decide life and death with a single word.”

Zhong Lin’s whole body trembled slightly, with glowing eyes.

This is the secret behind the power of a Sealing King strong person?

Under all heaven, there is no land not under the king’s rule; on the shores, there are no ministers not under the king. The land where the Sealing King steps is the king’s soil, and a single word can decide life or death.

Domain!

The higher manifestation of conception.

So that’s it, so that’s it.

No wonder Chen Jia said that comprehension of conception is related to future martial arts; it turns out it’s due to the Sealing King.

“The comprehension of Sword Intent ranges from one percent to ten percent for perfection; this perfection is merely minor perfection. Sword Intent can be immortal for a hundred years, and above that is Great Perfection, where a single strike can tear the sky. Your senior brother is currently at this stage and is always out seeking opportunities for breaking through to the Sealing King. Understand now?”

“I understand, thank you, Master, for clearing my confusion.”

Zhong Lin respectfully said.

The genuine teaching in a few words clarifies the path ahead; Zhong Lin’s heroic spirit was once again ignited.

Xi Xuan also naturally sensed the change in Zhong Lin, growing more satisfied with his newly recruited disciple.

“Cultivate well. I’ll go find the Sea Heart Yin Evil for you.”

“Yes, sorry for troubling you, Master.”

After seeing Master off, Zhong Lin took big strides into the Scripture Pavilion. Seeing the vast scholarly scrolls surrounding him, he showed an expression like a mouse entering a granary.
