One Sword Unfolds Myriad Arts, One Sword Breaks Myriad Foes
One reason is their exceptional talent.
On the other hand, it also benefits from the assistance of [Fifth Generation Bio-Armor Cells].
Lü Yan completed the Foundation Establishment in just three years, and was only one step away from the Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation stage.
However, considering that Lü Yan's physical development was not yet complete and he still had enough room to grow, there was no need to rush into Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation. Therefore, everyone, including the school, strictly prohibited Lü Yan from being taught anything about the "Perception Method".
To be honest, this is undoubtedly a happy problem for Lü Yan.
It should be noted that even among the physically strong Mountain Folk, Refining Essence into Qi is a long process.
Without more than a decade of preparation, it is impossible for an average person to fully transform their own essence into Life Primordial Qi, thus laying a solid foundation for communicating with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Not to mention those physically weak alien races.
Some of them may never be able to do this in their entire lives.
Only by truly communicating with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi can all living beings transcend the boundary between humans and gods, and be qualified to be compared with deities.
However, although Lü Yan did not cultivate the "Perception Method" to condense the Yin Deity and Yang God.
But he didn't waste those ten years; instead, he meticulously studied various "cultivation arts."
Alchemy, weapon crafting, Formation, divination, Talisman Seal Script, beast taming, witchcraft, transplantation, breeding, medicine, incantations, sealing, Qimen Dao of Alchemy a form of divination), and escape techniques—all are naturally formed magical Law Technique and Divine Ability.
In less than ten years, Lü Yan learned at an almost unbelievable pace, mastering all categories of Law Technique and supernatural Divine Ability.
His extraordinary learning ability even attracted the attention of some highly Divine Ability individuals who personally sought to take him as their disciple.
Unfortunately, these Divine Ability individuals often received a warning from Xiluo herself before they even met Lü Yan, and then dared not make a move against this genius Mountain Folk.
Of course, there were also some people with ulterior motives who seemed to see the shadow of the Dao Ancestor in Lü Yan.
They share the same extraordinary talent, the same erudition, and are even valued by Xiluo in the same way.
The only difference between the two is that the Dao Ancestor had to build the current cultivation system from scratch, step by step. This genius Mountain Folk, on the other hand, grew rapidly by standing on the shoulders of giants, and his growth rate was even more exaggerated than that of the Dao Ancestor. Of course, we are talking about growth rate, not battle record.
After all, in terms of battle record, Dao Ancestor was a ruthless character who slew demons and gods as soon as he was born, and drove away the Roaring Heaven Clan when he was three years old. When he was seven years old, even the Great Xia Witch King wanted to bring him back to Great Xia to train him as the new Witch King.
His subsequent achievements, including spreading his teachings to all living beings, slaying Wuzhiqi, and creating the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams to stabilize the world, were all monumental feats that were almost impossible to replicate. Even so, Lü Yan's exaggerated performance successfully won him the attention of the Three Realms.
Yes, it refers to the Three Realms, not the Hundred Lands Mountain Range or the Human World.
The news that the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit had given up the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and was protected by the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying to be reborn in the Netherworld was not a secret among those Dao Proving One.
Therefore, with just a little thought, they could easily guess Lü Yan's identity.
Fortunately, no matter how much noise there was outside, it didn't have much of an impact on Lü Yan, who lived in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
The [Mystic Garden Barrier] has now become the number one barrier in the Three Realms.
Even if Great Luo True Immortal came to cause trouble at the [Mystic Garden Barrier], they would have to take a hit from the [Star-Slaying Sun-Piercing Cannon] first.
As for those below the Great Luo True Immortal level?
The mere presence of Lord Yanyao and the Mountain-Moving Strongman guarding the entrance to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is enough to give them a hard time.
Thus, Lü Yan explored many possibilities over the past ten years and finally found the path that best suited him—the Sword Dao.
Or to be more precise, it should be called "sword cultivator".
It's unclear whether it was inherited from Li Boyang's talent, or the influence of the Zhuxian incident and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram...
Lü Yan possesses an astonishing aptitude for Sword Dao.
Any skill related to "sword" can be learned instantly, completely skipping the accumulation stage of ordinary practitioners.
This incredible performance is in no way inferior to Li Boyang and Luo Qiao's [Lucid Sword Heart].
However, unlike the other two, Lü Yan follows the path of "one sword can create ten thousand techniques, one sword can defeat ten thousand enemies", attempting to cultivate himself with all skills related to "sword".
A single sword can slay tangible enemies, as well as intangible things.
A powerful enemy arrives, and so does natural disaster.
Lü Yan's "sword" is both Law Technique and Divine Ability.
Flying on a sword, slaying enemies on a sword, deploying formations on a sword, casting spells on a sword, and even divining with a sword...
With a sword in hand, one can wield a thousand Law Technique and ten thousand Divine Ability at will, making one virtually omnipotent.
In Lü Yan's hands, the "sword" had become the ultimate answer to all questions, the ultimate Dao that could encompass all things. However, Lü Yan occasionally wondered if this too was something the Dao Ancestor had arranged beforehand.
After all, it was all too "coincidental".
Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation, Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao.
These are the four realms defined by the Dao Ancestor, which encompass almost all known theories of cultivation.
The ultimate goal of "Refining Emptiness and Uniting with the Dao" is to verify and summarize the myriad Dao Path, and arrive at the one and only "Great Dao".
How similar this is to my current situation!
The only difference is that the "Great Dao" that the Dao Ancestor sought has not yet appeared, while he himself is using the "Sword Dao" to explain all Dao Path. One is deducing the unknown from the known, and thus arriving at that final answer.
Another approach is to presuppose an answer and then use that answer to apply and explain all the questions.
In Lü Yan's view, these are simply two different solutions to the same problem.
"Whether it was a coincidence or a chance occurrence..."
Is this really that important to you?
This was Xiluo's reply to Lü Yan after thinking about it for several days, following her knowledge of Lü Yan's predicament.
That was the first time Lü Yan had seen seriousness, reliability, and gentleness in Xiluo, completely different from the girl who liked to record her embarrassing past. "If you really want a definite answer..."
"Then, once you officially become Dao Proving One, you can personally go to the Purple Firmament Palace in the Heaven Beyond Heaven to ask the Dao Ancestor questions."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yan blinked in confusion.
Why not go to Flying Peak?
A faint, ambiguous smile gradually appeared on Xiluo's face as she gave a noncommittal reply.
"Of course, you can also go to Flying Peak to find that doll."
But whether you'll get the answer you want in the end is uncertain.
"Because on Flying Peak, he can be the Dao Ancestor, or he can be Li Boyang."
"Only when he was in the Purple Firmament Palace was he truly the Dao Ancestor spoke freely and without reservation."
