Time passed.
In the God Burial Abyss, in front of the divine sword.
The divine dragon coiled around the jet-black divine peak. Its towering body was like a winding mountain range. Its scales were clear and carried an aura of vigor. Its eyes were suffused with a metallic luster and reflected the figure of a person who was practicing with a long sword …
Ye Chen looked at the mountain wall. His body followed the movements of the illusory figure and he was completely immersed in it. He was oblivious to the outside world and even forgot about the majestic pressure. He practiced over and over again, stabbing out millions of times. However, he was still unable to achieve that intoxicating perfection!
This stab was not only sharp and tricky. It could break through all attacks and hit the opponent's fatal point. It was also a beautiful posture. It could make the enemy feel relieved and happy after being killed!
"Benevolence …" Ye Chen did not stubbornly follow the sword moves. If he succeeded in imitating it, it would only be temporary. It was flashy but not practical. He kept reciting the general principles of the sword technique in his heart. He had a benevolent heart!
"What is benevolence?"
"As a tycoon, helping the weak is benevolence!"
"As a monarch, helping the people and governing the world is benevolence!"
"As a warrior, I should uphold justice. This is benevolence!"
As he pondered, Ye Chen's sword moves became more and more smooth. There was a faint artistic conception. When he stabbed out, the void would faintly sizzle.
After practicing for a long time.
Ye Chen suddenly came to a realization. "As a warrior, I don't have to face evil people. Sometimes, I have to face monsters and all kinds of threats. This benevolence is not determined by the heavens. It is determined by my heart!"
"It is determined by benevolence. It is determined by good and evil!"
"It is determined by one's heart!"
"To me, those who hurt me are evil people. Those who are dangerous to me must be killed!"
Ye Chen's eyes gradually brightened. "This move does not follow the benevolence of the world. It can also be said that it is not benevolence. Or rather, it is great benevolence!"
Ye Chen suddenly understood.
"The most important thing for a sword move is to kill the enemy!"
"Killing the enemy perfectly and freeing the enemy is a form of benevolence!"
"Letting the enemy see the most beautiful sword move before they die is benevolence!"
"Not killing the enemy for the sake of killing, but killing the enemy for the sake of saving. This is the sword of benevolence!"
As the fog in Ye Chen's heart cleared, he suddenly felt his vision clear. The sword in his hand slowly stabbed out. There was nothing special. At this moment, Ye Chen did not have any killing intent. Instead, he was like a Bodhisattva.. Although he did not smile, he still gave off a gentle and good impression..
Poof!
The sword pierced through the air, and a faint black shadow appeared in the void, disappearing in a flash!
At the side, Shenlong was surprised when he saw the sword. He did not expect Ye Chen to comprehend the essence of this move in less than three days. If it was an ordinary person, they would only focus on imitating the sword moves on the cliff and ignore the true essence of this move!
. Benevolence!
Benevolence.......
........
.....................
... Although the method was the same, the state of mind was different. Therefore, they could not comprehend the essence of the sword. As a result, they could not execute such a perfect sword move!
With the comprehension of the sword move, Ye Chen's eyes shone brightly. He took a few steps forward and immediately felt the pressure. Previously, he could not withstand the pressure. Now, he could barely resist it!
Ye Chen was surprised. He immediately understood that the pressure was not only a test of strength, but also a tempering of strength. Practicing sword moves under such pressure would transform his body every second and every minute for 24 hours. The speed of improvement was astonishing!
"Second move, Virtue!"
Ye Chen looked at the cliff. The words on it transformed into images. Some of them were exquisite and contained the principles of the universe. They were definitely not something that could be limited by simple words!
In the image, a blurry figure wielding a long sword faced the sky and drew a sword. The sky was split by the sword, leaving a black scar!
"How powerful!"
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect this sword to be able to cut through the void. One had to know that everything in the world had cracks. Soil had cracks, rocks had cracks, even water, air, and fire had cracks. Even this illusory space had cracks!
Only by seeing Virtue could one see the cracks in Heaven and Earth!
And in that crack, he drew a peerless sword that could split the Heavens and Earth. It was unstoppable!
Ye Chen could not help but be astounded by the Yellow Emperor's talent!
This sword had pushed the power of science and technology to the peak!
Using one's state of mind to see through the cracks in space without the use of technology. Just this point alone was beyond the imagination of the average person!
"Virtue, Virtue …"
Ye Chen closed his eyes and immersed himself in that peerless sword style. The black longsword in his hand danced along with the sword, and he swung it straight at the void!
Virtue in the heart led to virtue in the sword!
It was neither tricky nor sharp. It was completely aimed at the easiest spot to defend!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chen was still immersed in this sword move. He was also a saber master of his generation. His understanding of martial arts had almost reached the realm of all martial arts. Hence, it was much easier for him to learn the basics.
"Virtue, it's virtue, conduct!"
"It's better to be defeated than to be opportunistic. It's virtue!"
"Because one is willing to be defeated, only then can one be broken and rebuilt, achieving success!"
Ye Chen's eyes gradually lit up. "This sword is about breaking and rebuilding. One must know when to give up. To not use one's strength to fight against another's weakness is immoral!
To not use one's weakness to compete against another's strength is to belittle one's opponent. It's also immoral! "
"Virtue, it has to be fair and just!"
"So …"
Ye Chen slowly raised the longsword in his hand. His eyes shone brightly as he slowly slashed at the void. This slash was extremely slow, as if he was afraid of hurting the void. However, as the sword slashed through the void, it left a black mark in the void. If Ye Chen was a little stronger, this slash would have been able to create a different dimension!
Ye Chen was overjoyed. His state of mind became unstable. The feeling of perfection on the sword disappeared and its power became ordinary.
"The second move, success!"
Ye Chen could not help but feel happy. He took a step forward, but a strong force pressed down on him. His bones ached as if they were about to break. He could not help but be shocked and quickly took a few steps back.
It turned out that if an ordinary person wanted to comprehend these three sword techniques, it would take at least seven to eight months. Even two to three years might not be enough to comprehend them. During this long period of time, the body would be tempered under this pressure. Therefore, after mastering the second style, one would have the strength to walk to the location of the third style!
And Ye Chen was too fast!
He mastered it in two to three days!
The main reason for this was that he had ten years of experience in his previous life. He was a master of swordsmanship. The second reason was that his state of mind had reached Level Five Sage. He had a pure heart without any distracting thoughts.
The third reason was the environment he grew up in. In addition to the ten years of experience in his previous life, he had seen many things.
"The reason why I could comprehend it so fast was mainly because of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures. In the Immortal Palace Tomb, there was an authentic version of the Tao Te Ching. After mastering it, one would be able to understand the truth of the world and reach the level of a saint!"
Ye Chen thought of Lao Tzu Li Er's ruins. "The Tao Te Ching that is circulating in the world is only a small part of the authentic version. The real Tao Te Ching has a total of 12 chapters and 8.1 million words!
Moreover, there are illustrations and video simulations. Any great authentic work is not limited by words. "
Ye Chen looked up. "In order to see the third move, I have to walk three feet forward. The pressure in that place requires at least a level 5000 physique to withstand it!"
"My physique was originally at level 3200!
After a few days of tempering, it has improved quite a bit and reached level 3500! "
Ye Chen frowned. At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. "There are still 28 crystal cores in the rune space. If I absorb all of them, how much can I improve?"
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the rune space and sat down cross-legged. He took out a fiery red crystal core and covered it with his devouring power, absorbing the energy inside into his body.
At the side, Shenron saw Ye Chen leaving. With his eyesight, he could see that Ye Chen's physique was not there yet and could not withstand the pressure. He could not help but sigh. At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly sat down cross-legged to cultivate. Shenron was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked at the black hole in the rune space and his eyes flashed. "This is an extradimensional space?"
Ye Chen closed his eyes and absorbed the energy while saying, "Yes."
In front of Shenron, he did not hide anything. With Shenron's experience, he would not attack him for a rune space.
Shenron nodded slowly and looked at the crystal core in Ye Chen's hand. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Such rich energy, this crystal core …" He felt for a moment and suddenly his face changed. His expression became gloomy and he said in a low voice, "Where did you get this crystal core?"
Ye Chen said casually, "I got it from a dark creature."
"You killed the dark creatures?" Shenron asked hurriedly, staring at Ye Chen.
"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and opened his eyes. He looked at Shenron and said, "What's wrong?"
Shenron's gaze was complicated. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Nothing, you killed them well!" Then, he closed his eyes and said no more.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and looked at Shenron carefully. He could not detect any brainwave signals, so he looked away and continued to absorb the energy in the crystal core.
He had absorbed about one-third of it.
Suddenly —
In the distance, a figure swiftly flashed over and rushed to the other side of the iron chain bridge. He bowed respectfully and then shouted loudly, "Subordinate Long Feng greets Lord Dragon Emperor!"
"What's the matter?" A majestic voice resounded throughout the God Burial Abyss.
The figure was an old man in a white robe. He said anxiously, "Something bad has happened. Recently, a mysterious person came from the outer sea. He is extremely powerful and has been killing people in the inner sea. I led the people from the outer sea and the middle sea to the inner sea, but that person rushed into the inner sea and started a massacre on the Six Gods Island. The Sunset Moon Island Master unfortunately died, and the other island masters were all seriously injured!"
"What!"
The divine dragon suddenly opened its eyes. Its cold gaze pierced through the void like two sharp swords. A thick, domineering aura filled the entire area. Even Ye Chen, who was sitting beside it, felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but be shocked by the strength of this divine dragon that had lived for who knows how many years. This was a monster with a physique of a level 100,000. It was far from what his Superman mode could compare to. Furthermore, it was a genuine level 100,000 monster after its life genes had undergone a transformation!
