Closing in on the Earth Immortal Realm!

Li Chengyi looked at the battlefield in the distance. He had only known Old Ancestor Yuanyang for a year. Their master-disciple relationship was neither deep nor nonexistent.

"My master is a good person, I know that, everyone knows that."

"My master told me the reason why he accepted me as his disciple from the day he accepted me, because I have the same aptitude as the patriarch."

"My master said that although our ancestor was not a top-tier cultivation genius, he was like me, possessing Geng Metal Physique and Heaven Spiritual Root."

"But I know that everything I have now is not something I was born with."

"My master has treated me well, and I really want to tell him everything, but I know even more clearly that I cannot betray my brother."

"This is a secret between us."

I'm sorry to have placed such high hopes on you.

The Jinghong Sword Art is known as the strongest sword technique in the history of the Dragon Transformation Continent, but apart from Shangguan Jinghong, no one else has been able to reproduce the brilliance of his unparalleled sword.

Li Chengyi been cultivating for nearly a year, but he still hasn't grasped the basics of that sword technique.

This is not his fault. The original Jinghong Sword Art was difficult to comprehend, so it was divided and modified by several elders, becoming the current abridged version that is easier to cultivate.

At the same time, it wasn't just the sword techniques that were emasculated, but also the mental cultivation methods.

Those who cultivate immortality emphasize tempering their mind, but the mental cultivation method left by Ancestor Shangguan goes against this principle, cultivating arrogance, which can be described as taking a risky path.

"My master once told me that the more radiant a person is, the more likely they are to become the target of others. Most strong people have a unique quirk."

"Slay demons and kill geniuses."

"The way of cultivation lies in calming the mind, cultivating one's nature, and restraining desires."

"Unable to bear loneliness, die."

"If you can't outlast time, you'll die."

"If you can't contain your brilliance, you'll die."

"Unable to conceal their arrogance, they die."

"Therefore, the way of cultivation lies in forbearance, endurance, restraint, and concealment."

"In this respect, my master can be said to be a representative figure, because he has done these four things to the extreme."

"Endure loneliness, conceal the brilliance, withstand the test of time, restrain arrogance, and cultivate an unwavering heart."

"It can be said to be the highest level of spiritual cultivation in the eyes of most people."

"But perhaps that's why he couldn't grasp the true meaning of the Jinghong Sword Art '."

Li Chengyi opened the tattered book in his hand. The opening sentence of this original scroll was specially left by the patriarch.

Do you like epiphyllum flowers?

"If you don't like it, throw this book away now and go practice other sword techniques."

It's clear that the patriarch was also a man of strong emotions.

Yet this seemingly insignificant sentence encapsulates the true essence of the Jinghong Sword Art.

Epiphyllum's Fleeting Bloom, we must seize the day.

Don't be afraid of burning out your life's energy. A brief moment of brilliance is not tragic; a life of mediocrity is the greatest tragedy.

Despite using a cultivation method that was the opposite of the conventional path, he still ascended to immortality.

The reason why Elder Yuanyang could not grasp the true meaning was precisely because he could not understand Shangguan Jinghong's inner world.

A fleeting glimpse, brief yet astonishing.

You won't see anything by simply observing that sword intent every day. If that wonderful world were presented to you every day, soon the wonder would become ordinary.

"Use it."

Old Ancestor Yuanyang was stunned for a moment. He heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

"Master?"

"Do you remember what I said? You'll never master the 'Amazing Swan' technique in this lifetime, because you're afraid of dying."

"Yes, it's not just you, everyone is afraid of death, that's why none of you can master the 'Amazing Swan' technique."

"Listen carefully, this is the last time I'm saying this."

"You can't take anything with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. Everything that belongs to you is just temporarily lent to you."

"The secret to being invincible is to have nothing."

"To unleash one's own light, a short but brilliant life is better than a long period of mediocrity; this is my way of achieving extraordinary things."

Yuan Yang's wrist trembled, and the sword intent sealed within the Jinghong Sword was suddenly released!

Even from just a slight aftershock, countless dense scratches appeared on Shen Xiuyai's body. "The Jinghong Sword Intent?"

Could it be that the Supreme Elder has already grasped that level of understanding?

The terrifying pressure of the sword continued to emanate from Old Ancestor Yuanyang, and Shen Xiuyai pressed forward against it.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Old Ancestor Yuanyang let out a deep laugh, then turned his sword tip to point at Shen Xiuyai, "I've known this principle since I was a hundred years old."

"But I just can't do it, Master."

"I can't be as carefree as you, willing to throw away even my life."

There are so many truths in this world; understanding them is easy, but putting them into practice is difficult.

Wild beasts always roam alone, while cattle and sheep flock together.

The original meaning of this statement is to tell you that the weak should unite, but many people will not do so even if they know this principle.

Everyone can talk about principles, but not everyone can put them into practice.

Therefore, the sentence left by the patriarch in the sword manual is the second truth.

If you don't like the ephemeral beauty of the night-blooming cereus, then go practice other sword techniques now.

The road ahead is wide, let each go their own way. I won't force you if you don't like it.

"But as your disciples... none of us have been able to master your swordsmanship. I am truly unwilling to accept this."

Having said that, Old Ancestor Yuanyang suddenly raised his arm, and a sword light pierced through the sky. Shen Xiuyai also suddenly attacked him!

The sword light pierced through the sky, as if a gap had been cut in the dark night sky, and sunlight began to shine through!

"A stunning sight!"

As Old Ancestor Yuanyang spoke, he slashed down with his sword. The immense sword intent seemed to tear Shen Xiuyai apart in an instant, causing his body to tremble violently!

At the same time, the enormous sword light that stretched to the sky began to slash down vertically!

Jinghong seemed to transform into a sword that pierced the heavens and earth, and as the tip of the sword swept across, even the sky was slashed with an extended wound!

The darkness was gradually torn apart, and blinding sunlight crashed down from the sky cut by the sword energy!

The enormous sword energy that cleaved through the heavens and earth suddenly accelerated, slicing through Shen Xiuyai's body and splitting the earth into an endless abyss!

Boom!!

Everyone in the Jinghong Sword Sect was watching this scene, Lu Cun, Outer Sect Disciple, was so wide-eyed by the attack that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"A sword that cuts through the daylight?"

"Is this the Nascent Soul Realm?"

079 was also watching the attack, thinking, "This attack has now reached the level of the first stage of the sixth rank."

"In the terms of this world, it is already the power of the Earth Immortal Realm. No one below the Immortal level should be able to withstand this attack."

"Of course, if the opponent is a human."

Shen Xiuyai was chopped in two from head to toe, falling directly from the sky to the ground.

What's terrifying is that even after being pierced by that horrifying sword intent, Shen Xiuyai, who was split in two, was still able to move!

His left side of his head rotated, then he pushed his overflowing brain matter back in, and the same thing happened to the right side of his body.

Its body, split into two halves, moved independently and began to crawl toward one place.

"The patriarch's sword intent is indeed terrifying, but elder, you should cut off my head."
