[In the first year, you reread this book on sword Divine Ability. By this time, you were no longer a complete novice who knew nothing about swordsmanship. You found that your progress was faster than you had imagined.]
[In the third year, you have mastered all the details of the energy of heaven and Divine Ability required to operate this supernatural power. The next step is the constant practice, which is what you excel at.]
[In your tenth year, you've reached a new level of prowess, rediscovering the days of toiling like a slave, constantly wielding your blade... Day after day, month after month, the light of your blade rises and falls on the screen, tireless.]
That's how martial arts training works; if you don't have the talent, then you must persevere.
Spend a lot of time to bridge the gap in comprehension between yourself and a genius; this is what the saying "the early bird catches the worm" means.
[In the 371st year, you perfected the Celestial Person One Saber Slash. Its unparalleled sharpness even left you, a master of Divine Ability, speechless.]
[Remaining Cultivation: 462 years]
After seeing that he had cultivated the Celestial Person One Saber Slash to perfection through his unremitting efforts, Lu Guan closed the panel.
It was only a mere three hundred years, which he easily endured with the strength of his Divine Thought, without even experiencing a headache or fever.
A colorless, sharp edge flashed across the longsword.
Where it passed, a thin, almost imperceptible white streak was cut into the air, which took a long time to slowly heal.
Lu Guan gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, instantly feeling that his lethality had reached a new level.
With the base stat boost from [ Mountain-Bearing Bones ], the Celestial Person One Saber Slash is already a powerful killing Divine Ability, and now it's even stronger.
With a single strike, the numerical value inflated, and Lu Guan even dared to cut down the Demon Yin Jing.
Of course, this is on the premise that the other party stands still.
"Call..."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Guan immediately brandished his long sword.
[ Celestial Person One Saber Slash ]!
The energy of heaven and earth moved accordingly, condensing into a Celestial Person being behind him, like a deity sitting high in the clouds overlooking all living beings.
Seeing this, Second Master Yin narrowed his tiger-like eyes and suddenly spoke, "Do you know that the long sword in your hand was a gift from me to Little Thirteen?"
"Now, you're going to use it against me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guan raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't expected that the longsword in his hand would have such a connection with the tiger demon opposite him.
"Isn't that a perfect coincidence?"
Lu Guan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "Using the long sword you gave me to end your life, that can be considered a closed loop of cause and effect."
"You gave me the knife, that's the cause; I slashed you, that's the effect. Justice is served, and retribution is inevitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Second Master Yin laughed in anger:
"You arrogant brat, how dare you speak so presumptuously and bring up cause and effect with me?"
"The reason I saw you today is because I'm here; the reason I'll eat you is the consequence..."
Before the words were finished, the Celestial Person phantom pointed downwards, and a silver light cleaved through the gray mist, striking directly at Second Master Yin's face.
The blade was incredibly fast; one moment it was ten feet away, and the next it was right in front of it.
Second Master Yin's pupils shrank sharply, and he leaped away to dodge it.
Where it had just stood, the ground was cleaved into a bottomless ravine.
The next second, black mist billowed out, and countless demonic spirits manifested, their expressions crazed, and they frantically attacked Lu Guan.
The vengeful spirits were all distorted, some still retaining their appearance from when they were alive, while others had rotted away and were reduced to skeletons. They emitted meaningless howls, which merged into a turbid torrent of ghostly wails.
Compared to Fourth Master Yin, Second Master Yin not only had a higher level of cultivation, but also a higher quality of his cougar.
Lu Guan even sensed the aura of several Inner Landscape Realm within it.
Clearly, they were all renowned cultivators in life, but after being swallowed by Second Master Yin, even their souls were captured and used as slaves.
Although they have been transformed into mindless ghosts, losing only a fraction of their original strength, their sheer numbers still make them a formidable threat.
Fortunately, the energy wasn't too strong; it was all in the Early Inner Landscape Stage.
so--
[ Pacify Mountains and Rivers ]!
As soon as Lu Guan had a thought, the cloud-like inscriptions that had condensed on the incense burner inside the Dao Field suddenly shone brightly.
He is least afraid of human wave tactics.
Without the power of heaven and earth to drive them, these few Inner Landscape Realm demons are no different from the rest.
The next second, the energy of heaven and earth was sealed off, and the Celestial Person One Saber Slash arrived as promised.
Like snow meeting the blazing sun, countless demons melted away under the flash of the blade, turning into wisps of green smoke.
The few Inner Landscape Realm demons didn't last more than half a breath before following suit, disappearing completely.
Second Master Yin looked as if he had seen a ghost.
" Pacify Mountains and Rivers?!"
"You practice the same Cultivation Method as Chen Jingchou?"
Had he known this would happen, he would never have released the treacherous ghost.
After all, this Mystery was far too effective at countering its own bloodline Mystery.
Even the ghosts raised by its third brother were all wiped out by Chen Jingchou, leaving it with no ghosts to use and in a miserable state.
Unexpectedly, I ended up following in its footsteps.
"Idiot!"
Just then, a fierce and cruel voice suddenly rang out in Second Master Yin's mind.
The sound was audible only to it, yet it made its head buzz.
"This person is merely at the Inner Landscape Realm Fourth Heaven, and his Mystery is still [ Pacify Mountains and Rivers ]. You, as a Mountain Lord, can simply go forward and slap him to death."
"What are you babbling about, spouting nonsense?"
Second Master Yin was no fool; he had simply been caught off guard by the information gap earlier. Now, after a brief explanation, he immediately understood:
"Absolutely right, absolutely right, Father is absolutely right."
After all, when cultivators fight, it's all about exploiting information asymmetry.
Once the opponent reveals their Mystery and Divine Ability, it's as if they've already shown their trump card, leaving you with no other options.
While he may seem to be at a disadvantage, he has actually only lost because of the almost obvious and Mystery bloodline principle of " Act as a Ghost Servant for a Tiger."
In terms of cultivation level, he was a great demon comparable to the Inner Landscape Realm Seventh Heaven, and his demonic body was so strong that he could withstand the opponent's divine Divine Ability.
The opponent was merely a weak human, lacking any Mystery physical enhancements. Even if they traded blows, it would be enough for him to forcefully defeat the opponent.
After all, he could withstand that sword Divine Ability, but could his opponent withstand a slap from him?
One slap and he'd shatter even bone fragments!
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Second Master Yin's face, his fangs bared and gleaming coldly.
It stubbornly withstood the flashing blades and pressed forward.
A look of fear crossed Lu Guan's face, and he turned and ran.
This action further confirmed what Second Master Yin had in mind.
The opponent is just a fragile character!
That was all he had to play; now that he'd used every trick in the book, all he could do was run away in panic.
"BOOM!!!"
With a single palm strike, Lu Guan coughed up a mouthful of foul blood, flying backward in a pathetic arc before crashing heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Second Master Yin nodded in satisfaction.
However, it reached out and squeezed its palm, feeling something was off.
'This feels off...'
It doesn't feel like the real sensation of bones and flesh separating, tendons and bones breaking, that you feel when you pat someone's body; you don't even hear the sound of bones breaking.
Will there be any problems?
But then I thought, the other person is vomiting blood, what could be wrong with them?
It shook its head, dismissing the doubt.
"One more slap, and it'll be his last."
