"Let's see what kind of fist technique Elder Gu gave me!"
Lu Ren sent his Divine Sense into the jade slip.
At once, he saw a tall, imposing figure standing in the void, throwing punches in a furious flurry.
Suddenly, golden light surged from the figure's body and formed a golden clone identical to him. Man and clone swung their fists, their strikes surging from left and right to form the pattern of yin and yang.
Lu Ren came back to himself and entered the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda. He quieted his mind, closed his eyes, and began to study the technique.
Gu Rongsheng had given him this fist technique to examine, clearly hoping he would gain some insight from it and work that insight into his own swordplay.
"My Tai Xu You Li Swordplay can create a hundred and eight Sword Qi clones, but those clones really aren't very strong!"
Lu Ren murmured to himself and settled down to study.
Though battles at the Heavenly God Realm still came down to bloodlines and divine techniques, swordplay far stronger than his opponent's would naturally give him a huge advantage.
This time, I'll use the Vast Void Wandering Sword to create a sword technique of my own. No matter how long it takes, I have to try!
Lu Ren made up his mind.
He had five hundred and fifty thousand years of time in the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda. He was fully confident he could create a sword technique of his own.
And so one year passed, then two.
Lu Ren suddenly opened his eyes and smiled. "I finally know how to improve Tai Xu You Li Swordplay..."
With that, Lu Ren rose and began swinging the Ghost Slaying Shadow Demon Sword. As he moved the blade, Sword Qi clones gathered around him.
