Chapter 45: Yanyan’s Reaction

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“Wait…” All of a sudden, Xuwu Piaoyan stopped him.

Yang Dingtian’s body stopped disappearing. Everything went black He could only see a mass of white light which condensed into the form of Xuwu Piaoyan.

“There’s a way to get a bigger breakthrough, but I can’t guarantee that it will work,” Xuwu Piaoyan said.

“Senior, please advise,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Empty body, empty veins,” Xuwu Piaoyan explained. “A warrior practicing martial arts six hours a day and training energy one hour a day. Practicing martial arts can increase the capacity of the Xuan veins and Sea of energy. Training energy can fill the space left by the growth. Accumulate day-by-day and month-by-month to achieve the breakthrough. On the day of the Yin Yang Festival, if the formation is large enough and strong enough, you may gain a very strong and profound Xuan energy. How big your breakthrough will be determined by the absorption capacity of your Xuan veins and Sea of energy. In a short period of time, the more Xuan energy you swallow, the more breakthroughs you can make.”

“Thus, if you want to have enough space in your Sea of energy and Xuan veins, you need to forge your body and forge your veins. You can keep practicing the sword and not train energy. I will lock your veins first to not let any Xuan energy enter. That will suppress the desire of the Sea of Energy to break through, causing your Sea of Energy and Xuan veins to become hungry and thirsty. In that state, you will be able to swallow the most Xuan energy and achieve the most breakthroughs.”

“Using this method, the possibility of breaking through to become a Six-Star Xuan Martial Artist may be greater,” Xuwu Piaoyan continued. “Of course, this is just my speculation. Reality may turn out differently.”

Yang Dingtian thought for a while. “Then, I will do this. Anything to increase my chances.”

“Swish swish…” Two rays of light slammed into Yang Dingtian’s head. He felt that his whole body had stagnated. Then, his whole body seemed to float.

“The blockade of your veins can be unlocked at any time. If you don’t unlock them, then at the moment of the total solar eclipse, endless Xuan energy will flood into your body and automatically open them,” Xuwu Piaoyan said.

“Yes, Senior,” Yang Dingtian said. “To what extent should I practice the sword in order to make my Xuan veins and Sea of energy the hungriest?”

“Extremely hard, of course. This is the time when you need to use the highest level of the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword, to turn the complex back to the basic, and form the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. At that time, you will be able to exert the maximum power of this swordsmanship. However, achieving that level is too difficult. You need to practice the Sword Tactic at least ten thousand or even a hundred thousand times. You’re running out of time so you may only be able to practice the Sword Tactic ten thousand times at the most to reach the highest level possible. This is because you need to spend time hunting the Five Element Demon Nuclei and to find a suitable place for the formation.”

“Yes, Senior. I’ll practice the swordsmanship ten thousand times and do my best to reach the highest possible level,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Goodbye then. I will see you again after you fully master the first stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship.” After saying his piece, Xuwu Piaoyan’s figure slowly began dissipating.

“I hope that by that time, I can tell you more.”

“Remember, don’t tell my secrets to others.”

Then, Xuwu Piaoyan’s figure vanished completely.

…

Yang Dingtian opened his eyes slowly as if waking up from a dream.

Yanyan was unexpectedly sleeping on the ground at this time. Her plump and charming body was curled up like a little insecure beast. When her plump and alluring body curled in on itself, her figure became even more stimulating.

She had fallen asleep. Yang Dingtian did not know how much time had passed.

He approached her and gently pushed her shoulder.

“Who is it?” Yanyan was surprised. She suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and quickly placed her sword against Yang Dingtian’s neck.

“Why are you sleeping here?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“You were in the ring of light for a whole day and night, motionless. Where am I going to sleep if I don’t sleep here?” Yanyan got up.

“A whole day and night?” Yang Dingtian was surprised. “Why do I feel like almost no time had passed?”

Yanyan’s beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian, filled with expectation and anxiety. She seemed to be looking for any changes he had undergone during this period of time. “When one learns a common martial arts secret scroll for the first time, one would normally need no more than three hours. You actually used a whole day and night. The Pig Killing Swordsmanship is definitely extraordinary. Have you learned it?”

“I have learned the first stage of the Pig Killing Swordsmanship, also known as the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword,” Yang Dingtian answered.

Upon hearing that impressive name, Yanyan’s beautiful eyes widened in excitement. “Quickly demonstrate it for me to see. I want to see how powerful it is.”

“Alright!” Yang Dingtian stretched out his hand. “Lend me your sword.”

Yanyan suddenly remembered that Yang Dingtian had no sword. She quickly handed him her sword.

After receiving the sword, Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes and breathed in. He opened his eyes again and gently pulled drew a sword flower and executed his Sword Tactic.

Suddenly, his heart and soul entered the world of Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword.

“Swish…”

The sword was as bright as a rainbow and roared like the tide.

In the abandoned secret scroll martial art room, Yang Dingtian performed the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword!

“The first disaster, Sword of Birth!”

“The second disaster, Sword of Beings!”

“The third disaster, Sword of Ruthlessness!”

…

“The eighth disaster, Sword of Nirvana!”

“The ninth disaster, Sword of Peace!”

…

At the moment, the dark secret room seemed to enter another world.

Boundless sword shadows. Boundless sparkles.

The sword blade was as cold as water, weaving a mysterious picture in space.

Six minutes later, Yang Dingtian held his sword and stood upright.

Although his performance was not as perfect as it was in the world of virtual illusions, he was satisfied. He felt that he had done well and so he looked at Yanyan with expectation.

Yanyan’s beautiful eyes were blurred. The swordplay had been fascinating and colorful. She asked, “Is this the Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword? I have never seen such a beautiful and wonderful swordsmanship.”

After that, Yanyan seemed to notice something. Her face suddenly turned white. “Where is the Xuan energy? Why don’t I feel the tiniest bit of Xuan energy when you were demonstrating this set of moves? How many levels did you gain after learning this martial arts secret scroll?”

Yang Dingtian did not know how to answer.

“There will be a breakthrough during the initial learning of any secret scroll in the world. The first time I learned the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship, I broke through three times and directly became a three-star Novice Martial Artist. The set of moves you just demonstrated looked very nice. However, it was only done in vain and had no power at all. It was like a dance instead of swordsmanship.”

“Now, I’ll show you real swordsmanship,” Yanyan said.

She took the sword from Yang Dingtian’s hand and executed the first move quickly. Suddenly, a long rainbow appeared in the sky, resembling a passing meteor.

The air twisted at once, and the sword in her hand was stained with red flame, looking like it had been burned red.

“Swoosh…” Then, the second sword. The body of the sword became like a stormy sea and a surging wind.

The body of the sword roared like a dragon and a tiger. The air became a fiery red that then enveloped the sword. Suddenly, it seemed like a fire dragon was hovering over the sword’s sharp edge.

“Roar…” The third sword was like a raging tsunami.

The sharp sword roared, and the fire dragon on the sword body roared with rage, igniting and tearing the air inch-by-inch.

The surrounding area dozens of square meters large suddenly went dark. The whole space had been swallowed up by the Energy Formation brandished by the sword.

On the tip of the sword, there was an extremely bright point, which seemed to contain all the light that had been drained from the environment.

“Bang…” Finally, the fire dragon on the sword shot the light forth fiercely.

“Boom…” The light hit the ground, suddenly creating a five-foot crack on the hard ground.

…

Yanyan sheathed her sword and stood. “This is just the power I was able to wield when I first learned the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. It was enough to tear a five-foot crack in the ground. You couldn’t even tear a scroll.”

Yang Dingtian saw that Yanyan was about to get mad. He hurried to explain, “Don’t be anxious. My swordsmanship is different from all the other secret scrolls. I haven’t broken through because I locked my veins to avoid one. I plan on making my Xuan veins and Sea of Energy hungry and thirsty to achieve a bigger breakthrough in the future.”

After listening to Yang Dingtian’s explanation, Yanyan stared at him before shaking her head. “I have never heard of such a thing.”

“Because this is the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. It is different from all other Sword Tactics,” Yang Dingtian said.

“All I see is that you learned this swordsmanship without achieving any breakthrough.” Yanyan frowned slightly. “Then, you tell me. When will you break through? How many times will you break through?”

“In twelve days, on September 13th, the day of the Yin Yang Festival,” Yang Dingtian answered. “I don’t know exactly how many times I will break through.”

“Are you kidding, Yang Dingtian?” Yanyan was unhappy. “Why don’t you just say that you will break through on September 15th after the Elimination Battles are over?”

“Because that day is very special. It is the Yin Yang Festival. Breakthroughs will be easier to achieve on that day. I am not trying to stall,” Yang Dingtian said with determination.

“You are my husband. Of course, I would like to believe you, but the reality is that I had not seen any Xuan energy in your swordsmanship. There has been no breakthrough.” Yanyan tried to be gentle. “I’m afraid that you’re lost, trapped in your own fantasy. Obviously, it is a set of moves that form something like a woman’s dance. It is obviously a decorative swordsmanship, but you are indulging in it and treating like some sort of unique martial art. If it is as I believe, we really are finished.”

“Husband, I am so frightened because I suddenly thought of someone.” Yanyan’s beautiful eyes fell as she recalled a terrifying incident.

“His name was Yang Yunchong, the eldest son of Yang Lie’s grandfather. Originally, my father should have never had a chance to become Lord of Cloud Sky City. Yang Yunchong’s talent was even higher than my father’s, ranking the first in the whole Northwest Mainland. Everyone thought that he would become the most powerful Lord in the history of Cloud Sky City. At the age of twenty-three, he was already a Xuan Martial Artist powerhouse and was world famous.”

“But, one day, he discovered the Pig Killing Swordsmanship and was immediately tempted. He used a Xuan Dissociation Pill to unlearn his Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship which had reached the Xuan Martial Artist rank. Then, he began learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship from the beginning.”

“No one could persuade him to stop. He seemed to have gone completely crazy. After that, he transformed from a top genius to a wastrel. Finally, he went completely mad.”

“Thus, Cloud Sky City lost its best heir. Since then, the Pig Killing Swordsmanship has continued to be a disaster.” Yanyan looked pained. “Just now, I was momentarily shocked by the secret you told me. You said that you were not a man from this world. Then, you transmitted your Xuan energy into the secret scroll while I was stunned. I wanted to stop you, but it was too late. You know how worried and regretful I was?”

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement. “He couldn’t learn the martial art because his Xuan veins were not good enough. You absolutely have no idea what I encountered in the world of the secret scroll just now.”

“What did you encounter?” Yanyan questioned, restraining her anger.

“An incomparably mysterious world of fantasy. A white-haired old man taught me this powerful and unparalleled Xuwu Nine Disasters Sword,” Yang Dingtian answered. “That’s all I can say. The rest I have to keep a secret. I can’t say too much.”

As soon as she heard the words, Yanyan’s beautiful face turned white. She shivered. “Yang Dingtian, the words you said were exactly the same as what Yang Yunchong said in the past before he subsequently plunged into madness…”

Yang Dingtian’s body trembled, but then, he shook his head. “That’s impossible. I’m the only one who has ever managed to enter the Pig Killing Swordsmanship secret scroll. I don’t know what happened to Yang Yunchong. Maybe he encountered an illusion. In my heart, I know very well whether the swordsmanship is real or not.”

Her plump and tender body then snuggled up gently against Yang Dingtian. She touched his face and used a gentleness she had never used before. “Husband, don’t end up like Yang Yunchong. Listen to Yanyan for once. We can use a Xuan Dissociation Pill to remove the murderous Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Then, you’ll be able to learn the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. If you agree, I will obey you no matter what you say in the future.”

At that moment, Yang Dingtian’s body was shivering.

Yanyan thought that he had changed his mind and said gently, “Husband, Yanyan will completely rely on you in the future. Shall we use the most secure way? Let’s use a Xuan Dissociation Pill to unlearn the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Then, you can learn the Chaos Heaven Destroyer Swordsmanship. Afterwards, I will accompany you in bed and give you my Xuan energy, okay? This method is guaranteed to work.”

Yang Dingtian was expressionless.

Yanyan’s face cooled slowly. “Yang Dingtian, this is the last time I’m going to beg you. If you disagree, I will leave immediately. I will never talk to you again. From then on, I will no longer care about any of your business. Our relationship will end here.”

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and calmed himself. “No, I don’t agree.”

He looked at her deeply and said, “Ximen Yanyan, I am very grateful for your selflessness. But, as a couple, I think mutual trust is more precious. After twelve days, I will prove to you that my persistence was right.”

“But, if you’re wrong, you will not only ruin yourself but all of us,” Yanyan said coldly. She then turned and walked out.
