Arrival! Speculations on Heaven and Earth Dharma Form

"Master Qing Zhi, that Sword God you followed before—what was her Heaven and Earth Dharma Form?"

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Zhixing transmitted with his Divine Sense.

Not long after.

A woman's voice rang out in Chen Zhixing's mind.

"Third Young Master, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form my Sword God condensed was a single sword strike!"

"A single sword strike?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. In one battle, Sword God suddenly had fortune arrive at the soul, and she unleashed a sword strike that far surpassed anything she had ever done before. That strike was the utter concentration of all her essence, energy, and spirit. It was a flash of inspiration, and also a wondrous move born by chance."

"In terms of On Sword Dao alone, that strike was Sword God's peak!"

"And so, when Sword God condensed her Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, she turned that strike into her own Heaven and Earth Dharma Form."

"From then on, whenever she encountered battle, Sword God only struck once."

"After that one strike, either the other person died, or she herself died."

"But... hehe. Until Sword God set foot in the Great Longevity Realm, no one had ever taken that strike."

Hearing this, Chen Zhixing could not help sinking into thought.

"Just a simple sword strike..." In Chen Zhixing's mind, a faint flash of inspiration seemed to streak past.

Looking at it this way, condensing a Heaven and Earth Dharma Form did not actually need to be made so gaudy and elaborate.

A moment later.

"Forget it."

Chen Zhixing shook his head. He could think deeply about these questions when the time truly came to break through to the True Self Realm.

Immediately after, Chen Zhixing rose to his feet and looked into the distance.

This Flying Boat had already completely left the Chen Clan's territory.

Ziwei's Chen Clan was more than ten thousand li from the Southern Frontier.

With the Flying Boat not traveling at full speed, it was only by the early morning of the second day.

Only then did the Flying Boat arrive at the boundary of the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Southern Frontier.

The Chen Clan disciples all bent down and looked below. Beneath the Flying Boat, a blue-green sea spread into view.

Towering mountains and steep ridges stretched on without end, layer upon layer of peaks and ranges, extending all the way to the end of sight.

"So these are the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

One Chen Clan disciple after another sighed in wonder. Looking at this scene, they could not help feeling their hearts broaden a little.

After reaching the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Flying Boat did not stop. Only when it entered the middle reaches of the Ten Thousand Mountains did it slowly come to a halt, hovering in the void.

"Mm?"

Chen Zhixing looked down and saw that not far from where the Flying Boat had stopped, there was indeed a black Pine Needle Forest.

"Not bad luck." A smile spread across Chen Zhixing's face.

In this way, it saved him a great deal of time searching for the Pine Needle Forest.

This gave him a little more confidence in finding the Tomb of Nine Wind Daoist and obtaining the "Nine Gods Method."

At the very front of the deck.

"Zhaoguang Elder, has everything in this region been arranged properly?" Chen Tianchen asked.

A white-haired, white-bearded Clan Elder stroked his beard and replied, "Fourth Master, rest assured. The powerful demons and devils within this region have all been swept clean. Only some demons and devils from the Nourishing Spirit Realm to the Void Transformation Realm remain, along with one Ape Demon at the Profound Clarity Realm, to serve as the trial.

"Besides that, the entire region has already been set up with the Sky Covering Grand Formation, covering five Hundred Li. Such a vast area is more than enough for the trial."

Chen Tianchen nodded and said, "Mm. In that case, begin."

"Yes!"

That Zhaoguang Elder withdrew.

After that.

Zhaoguang Elder gathered all the Chen Clan disciples together and announced the rules of the trial.

"The entire trial will last seven days!"

"During these seven days, what you must do is survive, and seize the Bracelets in others' hands!"

Zhaoguang Elder waved his right hand, and Bracelets made of amber immediately appeared in his hand.

The entire Bracelet was engraved with formation patterns.

"Everyone will initially have one Bracelet. If you want to obtain Bracelets, you must defeat others."

"Anyone whose Bracelet is taken off will be considered automatically eliminated and will be automatically moved out of this region."

"Let me state this clearly: this trial is only for sparring and improvement. Killing is forbidden."

Zhaoguang Elder's expression turned solemn, and he shouted in a low voice, "Do you understand?"

The gathered Chen family disciples' spirits rose at those words, and they shouted back one after another, "Understood!"

Zhaoguang Elder's expression eased, and he had people come forward to receive their Bracelets.

A moment later.

Every Chen family disciple had an extra Bracelet on their wrist.

Zhaoguang Elder then had the Chen family disciples begin disembarking one by one.

Every half an incense stick's time, one Chen family disciple would leave.

This was also to give the Chen family disciples some room to maneuver, so they would not all appear together in one swarm and immediately break out into a massive chaotic battle.

While waiting, Chen Zhixing lightly rubbed the Bracelet on his wrist.

This Bracelet was designed rather exquisitely, with several formations contained inside.

Not only could it monitor one's position in real time, it could also trigger a barrier if one encountered a fatal strike.

That would prevent anyone in the trial from getting so caught up in fighting that their eyes went red and they lost all sense of restraint.

About two hours later, the only ones left on the entire boat were Chen Zhaosheng, Chen Zhixing, and Lu Ying, the outsider.

"My little brother, I hope this time, you can let me see your true methods."

Chen Zhaosheng looked at Chen Zhixing with a meaningful gaze.

Lu Ying, meanwhile, shook her head.

She had specially requested to take part in the Chen family's trial this time precisely so she could defeat Chen Zhixing in the trial, Open and Aboveboard.

So that father of hers could see.

On that day in the Chen Family Great Hall, her choice, Lu Ying's choice, had not been wrong!

The next moment.

The two leaped down from the Flying Boat at the same time.

Chen Zhixing's expression was calm, and he paid them no mind.

This time, his only objective was the Tomb of Nine Wind Daoist.

As for Meng Hedong, that Destined Protagonist of the Meng Family, after experiencing that uproarious broken-engagement storm, he had already relied on the guidance of an Ancient Great Soul within his Ring to rise again.

If one went by the timeline, then before long, Meng Hedong would probably reach the Spirit Wandering Realm!

Although Chen Zhixing possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension, among the nine Destined Protagonists of the nine main storylines, which one of them did not have some Golden Finger at their side?

Even Ye Chen, the weakest among the Destined Protagonists, whom he had killed, had likewise possessed top-tier Sword Dao Talent and the Divine Sword Qingzhi, had he not?

It was only that he had yet to begin growing, and had been killed in advance by Chen Zhixing.

Therefore.

Chen Zhixing had already made his decision. He had to step into the True Self Realm as soon as possible, and then snipe Meng Hedong ahead of time!

Half an incense stick's time later.

Chen Zhixing took one step down from the Flying Boat.

At the same time.

The Ten Thousand Mountains.

Outside the Chen family's trial territory, on a slope located at a high vantage point.

A towering tree stood there, its crown hanging down like a magnificent canopy, making it impossible to see what lay within.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! In an instant, five black shadows landed among the branches of that canopy.

All five were dressed in wide black robes, and on the back of each black robe, embroidered with white silk thread, was a Spider Web pattern like Taiji.

On their faces, each wore a ferocious Golden Spider Mask.

On the left forehead of each mask, a different number was carved.

Twenty-Eight.

Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-Three.

Twenty-Two.

Nineteen.

The next moment.

The five figures slowly raised their heads and looked toward the Chen family's trial grounds. Beneath their masks, their eyes gave off a deep, cold gleam.
