Chapter 430: Chapter 428: Eye Sword Skill

Zhong Lin sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, with a disorganized heap of cultivation technique secret manuals in front of him.

This was the first layer of the Scripture Pavilion, where the most books were stored. Although they were all rather mundane basic sword skills, some of them, as Xi Xuan had mentioned, had profound insights, opening up many ideas for Zhong Lin.

Heavenly Eagle Swordsmanship: The sword art is as swift as a heavenly eagle, striking the enemy like a fierce wind.

Flowing Cloud Sword Technique: Sword moves are as elusive as flowing clouds, untraceable, attacking the enemy like a ghost with unimaginable speed.

Dragon Descending Swordsmanship: Mimics the posture of a dragon soaring in the sky, striking down the enemy from above with powerful sword moves.

Falling Rosy Clouds Swordsmanship: Moves are as beautiful and fierce as falling rosy clouds, dazzling and eye-catching when attacking the enemy.

Xiao Xiang Sword Technique: Mimics the rise and fall of lake waters, as unpredictable as a lake, making it difficult for the enemy to grasp.

Fiery Flame Sword Technique, Ice Swordsmanship, Shadow Moon Swordsmanship, Ziwei Swordsmanship, Snow Fox Sword Technique, Dragon and Snake Sword Technique, Sky-breaking Sword Technique, Dream Sword Technique…

Facing these mundane martial arts, Zhong Lin welcomed them all, directly recording them into the system panel, then advanced them to full level with infinite Skill Points.

It took a full three months to comb through the entire first layer of the Scripture Pavilion. These three months were truly beneficial for Zhong Lin, greatly enriching his foundational understanding of the sword dao, even though they didn’t enhance his sword intent much.

Now, he could confidently call himself a “Sword Master,” able to easily handle any sword technique.

By the window, Zhong Lin held an ancient text in his hands, his black hair cascading down, reading diligently under the golden sunlight, with a profile sharp and handsome as jade.

Chi Zhonglin stepped lightly, subconsciously slowing down his pace, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Zhong Lin’s figure.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Chi Zhonglin felt that something had changed about Zhong Lin. His temperament had become more poised. If he had previously radiated sharpness, now he was like a treasure sword returning to its sheath, constantly nurturing sword qi and cultivating sword intent.

Elegant, humble, reserved, calm.

“Does this kid really have such high comprehension?”

Chi Zhonglin stroked his chin, feeling peculiar in his heart.

“Second Senior Brother.”

Zhong Lin lifted his gaze, looking at the suddenly appearing Chi Zhonglin.

Chi Zhonglin, at this moment, met Zhong Lin’s keen eyes. His sword heart, usually unperturbed even before countless blades, suddenly trembled, causing his body hair to stand on end and goosebumps to rise on his neck.

It seemed like those weren’t just eyes, but sword blades capable of beheading.

The sword light in Zhong Lin’s eyes quickly dissipated, returning to a gentle and calm state.

“Please forgive me, Senior Brother. It was a new magic method, and I couldn’t resist flaunting it.”

Zhong Lin quickly got up, honestly bowing in respect.

“Eye Sword Skill?”

“Senior Brother is knowledgeable.”

The so-called Eye Sword Skill involves gathering sword intent in the eyes. When the eyes open, the divine intent breaks out, as sharp as a treasure sword drawn from its sheath, with a strong deterrent effect.

At critical moments, it often has miraculous effects. Besides being a cultivation technique, it can also be used to hone the mind and break illusions.

“The Second Layer has an advanced method for the Eye Sword Skill, capable of emitting sword qi from the eyes, killing without a trace. Since you’ve already mastered the Eye Sword Skill, you can study it further.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother, for the guidance.”

Chi Zhonglin glanced around, noticing the somewhat chaotic sword manuals, and curiously asked, “Have you read all the sword manuals on this entire layer?”

“I’ve finished reading them.”

“Amazing, the first layer is the result of ten thousand years of accumulation and sedimentation in our Sword Pavilion, yet these are just mundane sword arts, at most only providing some auxiliary effects. The truly powerful ones are on the second and third layers, don’t gain the small and lose the big.” Chi Zhonglin advised.

“Yes, thank you for the advice, Senior Brother.”

“Catch.”

Chi Zhonglin flicked his right hand, and a blue gemstone, the size of a fist, flew into Zhong Lin’s hand.

As soon as he touched it, Zhong Lin immediately sensed a terrifying cold expanding from his palm to his arm, as if placing him entirely in ten-thousand-year ice, causing him to shudder directly.

“Hahaha, got tricked again.”

Chi Zhonglin’s face was filled with satisfaction.

Zhong Lin quickly operated his spiritual origin to block the cold, staring at Chi Zhonglin with grievance.

“Hehe, don’t look at me like that. I learned it from Senior Brother. It’s called tradition.”

Chi Zhonglin joked, “This is Sea Heart Yin Evil that Master found for you. That old man is really biased. I had to work hard to find Heavenly Treasure Xuan Yin Evil in a Secret Realm for my breakthrough, while you got the best Sea Heart Yin Evil prepared directly by the old man.”

Upon hearing the blue gemstone in his hand was Sea Heart Yin Evil, Zhong Lin was delighted. However, he felt at a loss for words in response to Chi Zhonglin’s remarks since he was indeed the one benefitting.

“Alright, alright, just teasing you. You are refining the Immortal Golden Core, and this Sea Heart Yin Evil is perfect for you. Giving it to me would be a waste. Quickly refine and breakthrough, then I’ll take you somewhere nice.” Chi Zhonglin gestured.

Zhong Lin nodded, took a step, and directly dashed out of the Scripture Pavilion, found a random open space on Sword Pavilion Mountain, and sat cross-legged.

The entire Sword Pavilion Mountain had only the three of them, master and disciples, so there was no need to worry about anyone disturbing, especially with Chi Zhonglin standing guard.

Three months ago, Zhong Lin had already refined his cultivation to the peak of the Xuandan Realm through the Yin Yang Melt Spirit Pill. What he lacked was the Yin Evil, and now was the perfect time to break through, having already honed his skills in the Xuandan Realm for long enough.

His palm trembled, and the crystal shell encasing Sea Heart Yin Evil shattered on the spot, immediately releasing an extreme cold.

“Is this the Sea Heart Yin Evil? What a severe cold.”

At this moment, Zhong Lin only felt his whole body stiffening as if his thoughts were slowing, and he could be frozen into an ice sculpture at any moment.

Without hesitation, he took a big gulp, swallowing the strand of Sea Heart Yin Evil into his stomach.

In the next instant, changes surrounded Zhong Lin. In the void above, black clouds covered the top, and a blood sea rose and fell as streams of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi began converging rapidly towards Zhong Lin.

In a few breaths, it formed a massive primordial qi vortex, with Zhong Lin at its center.

Mist rose, enveloping the closed-eyed Zhong Lin, lifting him slowly from the bluestone into the air, up to the vortex’s center, as the thunderous sounds grew all the more terrifying.

“Black clouds covering the top, strange phenomena rising and fall, incredible! No wonder it’s a First Grade Immortal Golden Core. Even Senior Brother’s breakthrough back then didn’t have such a magnificent momentum!” Chi Zhonglin’s mouth twitched slightly, muttering to himself.

As various phenomena manifested, changes also occurred around Zhong Lin’s body. An extreme cold of Yin Evil engulfed him, as frost spread all around, freezing everything it touched.

Meanwhile, in his dantian, Zhong Lin’s Golden Core trembled before the Sea Heart Yin Evil, and the last leap finally arrived.
