The Zang Sword Emperor's methods were too powerful.
Just a remnant consciousness was enough to destroy the endless ocean and turn it into nothingness.
The Darknight Queen, who had been suppressed by the vortex, had also disappeared completely.
Everyone returned to the Sword Burial Prefecture when they heard Fang Chen's words. The eight Guardians and Qin Yang also returned together.
Fang Chen's eyes flickered when he saw everyone leave. He stared at the empty space below and reached his hand down.
Crash.
When Fang Chen's hand returned, there was an egg in his hand.
"Master's words are indeed true," Fang Chen said with a smile.
The egg wasn't simple. It was the inner core of the dead Darknight Queen.
Back in the God Burial Sword Prison, the remnant consciousness of the Zang Sword Emperor had told Fang Chen that the Darknight Queen would leave behind an inner core after her death.
It told Fang Chen to get the inner core no matter what.
If he got the inner core, he might be able to give birth to a new Darknight Queen.
Fang Chen put the inner core into his interspatial ring and returned to the Sword Burial Prefecture.
In the Sword Burial Palace.
The eight Guardians obeyed Fang Chen's orders and lived in the Sword Burial Palace to protect the Sword Burial Prefecture.
The Palace Master was excited when he heard the news.
Eight peak Mystic Kings guarding the Sword Burial Prefecture. Who would dare to offend them?
As for Qin Yang, he returned to the Sect with the Ox-nosed Old Daoist.
With the Darknight Queen's death, the Sword Burial Prefecture's crisis was resolved. The entire Sword Burial Prefecture was completely peaceful.
After a few words with the Palace Master, Fang Chen chose a secluded place and began his seclusion.
When he received the Zang Sword Emperor's inheritance, Fang Chen's cultivation had already reached the second level of the Mystic King Realm.
Now, he needed to digest the Zang Sword Emperor's inheritance.
Fang Chen sat cross-legged in the secluded place.
"My soul has reached the peak. My ice secret sword has also reached the peak." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
His soul couldn't be improved anymore.
In terms of physical body, his Sword Body had already reached Saint-tier. While it might seem like he had reached the pinnacle, there was still room for improvement.
Fang Chen had obtained a new body refinement method from the Zang Sword Emperor's inheritance.
Great Accomplishment Sword Body.
Although it was similar to Minor Success Sword Body, its power was incomparable to that of a Minor Success Sword Body.
It was said that if one cultivated the Greater Success Sword Physique to the pinnacle, one could shatter the stars and annihilate the starry sky with a single punch.
"Let's first cultivate the Great Success Sword Body."
There was no longer any danger in the Sword Burial Prefecture. Soon, he would be able to leave the Sword Burial Prefecture for the outlands.
But before that, he had to arm himself.
He would try his best to make himself stronger.
Fang Chen's skin gradually turned bronze as he recited the chant for the Greater Success Sword Physique in his mind.
Sword Qi surged around him, and the sword body was activated.
The power unleashed by the Saint level Sword Body was extremely powerful.
"Physical body!"
Fang Chen muttered.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
During this period of time, Fang Chen had been practicing his Great Success Sword Body.
After three months, he finally cultivated the Great Success Sword Body to the Beginner Level.
"As expected of the cultivation method left by Master. It's so powerful." Fang Chen opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
It took him three months to cultivate the Great Success Sword Body to the Beginner Level.
It was enough to show how powerful the Great Success Sword Body was.
After cultivating the Great Success Sword Body to the Beginner Level, Fang Chen's skin became more bronze, and his power became more powerful.
His Sword Body had reached the pinnacle of the Saint level.
His Sword Body seemed to have reached a bottleneck, so Fang Chen temporarily gave up on cultivating it, and turned to other cultivation methods.
In the following time, Fang Chen cultivated the Three Revolutions Radiance Sword Technique and the Void Meteor Annihilation to the extreme.
His strength also skyrocketed as a result.
"Master didn't leave me many cultivation methods, but they contain his life's comprehension," Fang Chen said.
The disciple of the Zang Sword Emperor was definitely different from ordinary people.
Although he had accepted the Zang Sword Emperor's inheritance, he didn't obtain any powerful cultivation methods.
The most important thing was his life's comprehension.
The Zang Sword Emperor's comprehension was very profound. Fang Chen only had a slight comprehension, but it had greatly improved his understanding of the Sword Principle.
Moreover, Fang Chen felt that the golden heart was also absorbing the Zang Sword Emperor's comprehension.
Thump thump
The golden heart's beating trajectory was very strange.
Half a year later.
The Space-Time True Intent had reached the peak of the fourth grade, and the other True Intents had also improved greatly.
The biggest improvement was his Sword Intent, which had reached the seventh grade. As for the Darkness Intent, it was slightly weaker, reaching the third grade.
As for the Ice True Intent, it was the same as the Darkness True Intent, reaching the third grade.
Fang Chen was very happy that his strength had improved.
After cultivating in the Sword Burial Immortal Palace for a year, Fang Chen finally stopped cultivating.
One day, he opened his eyes, and a sword-shaped token appeared in his hand.
This was given to him by his master, the Zang Sword Emperor.
Before his master completely disappeared, he said that when he had the strength to step into the place where the Immortals lived, he could use this token to find his wife.
In short, this token was useless in the early stage.
"If I go all out now, I won't be afraid of a Sixth Level Mystic King Realm martial artist." Fang Chen thought to himself.
The thing that made him the happiest was the Space-Time True Intent.
The Space-Time True Intent was mentioned in the Zang Sword Emperor's inheritance.
This kind of True Intent was very powerful, and there weren't many who had this kind of True Intent in the entire universe.
It was very difficult to increase the grade of a True Intent.
Through the guidance of the Zang Sword Emperor's inheritance, the Space-Time True Intent had reached the peak of the fourth grade.
He had completely grasped the Time Stop, and he had already touched a trace of the concept of time acceleration.
He had also completely grasped the Space Shuttle. Once the Space-Time True Intent was used, low-level Mystic King Realm martial artists wouldn't be able to resist at all.
Even a mid-level Mystic King Realm martial artist would be caught off guard and fall for it.
After cultivating in seclusion for a year, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Fang Chen, you've come out of seclusion."
The Palace Master immediately sensed that Fang Chen had come out of seclusion and came to ask.
Fang Chen nodded. "How is the Sword Burial Prefecture?"
"After a year of recuperation, the Sword Burial Prefecture has recovered to its previous state. In fact, it's even stronger than before. If this continues, the Sword Burial Prefecture will definitely grow stronger," said the Palace Master.
"What about the eight protectors?" asked Fang Chen.
"The eight protectors are in seclusion," said the Palace Master.
Fang Chen nodded and then notified the eight protectors to come to the Immortal Palace.
A moment later, the eight protectors came out of seclusion.
"Fang Chen, you've come out of seclusion!"
The eight protectors had called Fang Chen their master, but Fang Chen had tried his best to dissuade them, telling them to just call him by name.
Although they called him by name, there was a clear master-servant relationship.
The eight protectors were completely loyal to Fang Chen.
"I've already received my master's inheritance. I'm about to leave the Sword Burial Prefecture for the outer realms."
Said Fang Chen. "Once I leave, I hope the eight of you can protect the Sword Burial Prefecture."
The only thing Fang Chen was worried about was Qin Yang. If Qin Yang wanted to seize power, only the eight protectors would be able to stop him.
"Don't worry. With the eight of us here, unless it's an expert surpassing the Profound King realm, they won't be able to pose any threat to the Immortal Palace."
Fang Chen nodded when he heard this.
"Fang Chen, are you really going to leave the Sword Burial Prefecture?" asked one of the protectors.
"Isn't that a bit too hasty?" asked another protector.
"Actually, with your talent, once you reach the peak of the Profound King realm, it'll be easier for you to go to the outer realms."
Although none of them had gone to the outer realms, they knew how dangerous it was.
With Fang Chen's potential, he could definitely reach the peak of the Profound King realm before leaving.
Fang Chen shook his head. "The martial path is a path that defies the heavens. Once you lack passion, you'll gradually lose yourself."
But now, there was no danger in the Sword Burial Prefecture. Fang Chen stood at the peak of the Sword Burial Prefecture.
Without the slightest pressure, Fang Chen's cultivation base had stagnated.
If he wanted to get stronger, he had to compete with other geniuses.
If he continued to stay in the Sword Burial Prefecture, his cultivation base would definitely continue to grow.
But that wasn't the life Fang Chen wanted.
He still had to find a wife and a mother.
He couldn't afford that.
"Fang Chen, I've long since seen that your stage won't be limited to the Sword Burial Prefecture. I hope you'll be able to shine in the outer realms," said the palace master.
