Shocking Revelation: The Supreme Dao Foundation and the Four Paths of the Sword Dao

Li Fan didn't use any other methods, but instead allowed the Blood Star to continuously pour out all the Blood Qi in the entire space, becoming the fuel to maintain the colorless life force.

The sword light and sword intent unleashed by Li Mingxi shot towards him, leaving a long-lasting trace of sword light in the world. Even colorless true energy could not erase the invisible mark.

The sword light reached nearly a kilometer away.

"Click"

Fine cracks begin to appear as phosgene breaks down.

Approaching 500 meters.

The entire sword light, except for the sharpest core of sword intent at the very tip, continued to advance, relying on the remaining three lights!

"Collapse!"

Upon approaching a hundred meters, the final sword intent and light completely collapsed into starlight, losing all offensive capabilities.

Outside the battlefield, Li Mingxi's figure reformed, and all damage was instantly restored.

But now no one paid him any attention; Fairy Yuanyi, Zhang Longhu, Jiang Wendao were all staring intently at the battle results displayed on the screen.

The sword light dissipated, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, land plates were uprooted and crushed, the structure of stars was severely damaged, the climate changed drastically, the magnetic field swirled wildly, and the Longhorn Beetle Star in the battlefield was completely plunged into a state of doom.

Li Fan, who was located there, had his Blood Star Space burned away, leaving only a void within, but his Human Dao Foundation remained intact, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

The battle image of Longhorn Beetle Star is frozen at this moment.

Li Fan's figure formed around them, and the Blood Star Space returned to normal.

The onlookers all stared at him as if he were a monster. Fairy Yuanyi unusually covered her face with one hand, looking somewhat helpless.

"You should have said earlier that you planned to build an interior space!"

"It's actually the inner space of the Blood Qi Dao, this is unbelievable."

Li Fan smiled broadly, his only satisfaction with the [Venerable Blood Palace] was that it was truly amazing.

He thought to himself:

"As expected of Supreme Dao Foundation formed from the condensation of 33 images, in a word, powerful."

Li Mingxi, Zhang Longhu, and Jiang Wendao were also quite shocked. Li Mingxi gave a thumbs up, his face showing admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Li not only created an unprecedented, but probably unparalleled, supreme Blood Qi Dao Foundation. The inner space of this Blood Qi Dao must also be the first of its Heaven-Opening since the beginning of time. Mingxi is utterly convinced of her defeat."

Li Mingxi then touched her chin, lost in thought.

"This move is indeed powerful, directly sacrificing an entire inner space. Even Dao Foundation cultivator with a thousand times less magical power than a Perfected Realm cultivator would find it difficult to withstand this attack."

"Perhaps I should also try to create a Supreme Yang space to store the Supreme Yang's light. If a great sun could appear with a wave of my hand, and the three divine sources could flow endlessly, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state today."

Zhang Longhu and Jiang Wendao were both intelligent people, and they also had some ideas in mind. However, since there were few inner realm cultivators who could move True Qi and Pure Qi, it was much more difficult for them to cultivate them than for Li Mingxi.

The two of them looked at Li Fan at the same time, their gazes intense.

"Perhaps I should consult Fellow Daoist Li! Consult him!"

Li Fan's expression turned strange upon hearing Fairy Yuanyi's words:

"Actually, as I said, the fairy will probably still let us compete. If we don't settle things properly, the Grand Master won't believe it if it's just talk."

Fairy Yuanyi remained silent, then waved her hand to disperse the scene frozen in time with the battle stars.

"Let's go! We don't need to fight anymore."

"I might not be able to withstand your fighting style. Just having a recording of this battle will suffice."

Li Fan's expression turned serious:

"What are you saying, fairy? You possess the true Sword Qi Dao lineage, having cultivated a true Sword Qi Dao Foundation. Your killing power is unparalleled among all cultivators."

Li Fan is definitely no match for you.

Although Fairy Yuanyi knew the other party was flattering her, she was still in a good mood, especially since what they said was indeed true.

"Indeed, you have good judgment. Since its founding by Grandmaster Spirit Sword, the Sword Qi lineage has been recognized as having the strongest killing power."

"Right now, Purple Mansion Perfected Person of the Yin and Yang school wouldn't dare to fight against this person."

As the group stepped out of the Dreamlike True and False Realm, Jiang Wendao felt much more relaxed, realizing he no longer needed to fight anyone.

Zhang Longhu felt somewhat regretful. Even knowing he couldn't win, it would still be good to have experienced the opponent's power.

Just as they appeared by the lake, another bolt of lightning shot out—who else could it be but the Daoist Pijie, Xu Xuan?

Xu Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw them, then smiled.

"Fellow Daoists, how have you been? Fellow Daoist Mingxi, it's been a long time."

Fairy Yuanyi waved her hand. "Perfect, you come with me too. Let's see if there's any chance you can catch the eye of the Great Master?"

Li Fan didn't chat with Li Mingxi and the others for long. Before leaving, he said, "Let's get together when I get back!"

Fairy Yuanyi, along with Li Fan and Xu Xuan, boarded a flying magical artifact and headed straight for the depths of the majestic mountains behind the Five-Colored Palace.

Then Fairy Yuanyi said:

"My master's Daoist name is Xuanzhen. He is a Great True Man who has achieved the Three Divine Ability. He cultivates the Way of the Sword Principle of the Sword, and pursues the Sword Principle."

"If we meet in person, we can only answer questions truthfully; if it's inconvenient to say something, just remain silent."

"Master despises liars the most. Even if he doesn't kill you, you'll be disliked by the Grand Master's Qi Destiny. To suffer misfortune for several decades would be the least of your worries."

Upon hearing this, the two men were startled and quickly nodded.

Li Fan muttered to himself:

"He's quite an oddball. But a person without some unique traits is just mediocre."

Xu Xuan had no problem with telling the truth; he himself had never lied. On the contrary, he was curious and pressed for more information.

"Fairy Yuanyi, is there a distinction between different paths in swordsmanship? Isn't there only the path of Sword Qi? What is the explanation of Sword Principle?"

Fairy Yuanyi deliberately slowed down to explain to them:

"This is an attempt by our swordsmanship lineage; it hasn't yet formed a complete theory. For now, consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons."

"The way of the sword can be traced back to four figures: Heavenly River True Lord, Primordial Lady Tianxin, Li Feibai, and Martial God Li Xiping."

"That was when the entire Dao Foundation Transcendent System was still in the exploratory stage. The founders of other Transcendent System, such as Martial Dao Heavenly Human, were also undertaking Heaven-Opening feats."

"Among them, the two martial gods, Martial Dao Heavenly Human and Martial Arts Celestial, proposed the theory of the will of heaven and earth, emphasizing aligning with the will of heaven and earth to manipulate its power, ultimately influencing the operation of heaven and earth and possessing immense power."

"They proposed the theory, and Master Heavenly River perfected the system with his supreme wisdom."

"It is divided into the Dharma Principle True Intent, the Imagery True Intent, the Divine Ability True Intent, the Law True Intent, and finally, the Heaven and Earth True Intent."

"The Primordial Lady Tianxin was the first to comprehend the Dripping Water Sword Intent at the level of law principles. Later, there was the Heavenly River Ancestor's [Thunder-Slaying Clear Cold Severing Seal Sword], and the even more terrifying Heaven and Earth True Intent [The Heaven-Opening End-Wielding Chaos Supreme One Sword], which is equivalent to the Golden Core stage."

"Only from this point on did we have a complete, practically validated, progression path for sword intent from top to bottom."

"Sword Qi was originally something that cultivators of the Five Elements could also cultivate, but it was too difficult. After achieving sword qi, it transformed into sword intent."

"With the addition of the Spirit Sword Ancestor, and the successful verification of the perfected Sword Qi cultivation method of the Heavenly Purity Grandmaster, they were finally completely separated, and their Sword God cultivation foundations became different."

"And the Grandmaster of the Spirit Sword, after comprehending the [Heaven-Opening End-Wielding Chaos Supreme One Sword], deduced that besides sword intent and Sword Qi, there was another path: Sword Principle and sword techniques."

"Master Spirit Sword has made this statement, and this disciple accepts his advice."

"Master Xuanzhen resolutely chose the path of Sword Qi cultivation to explore the Sword Principle."

At this point, Fairy Yuanyi paused and spoke about herself.

"And I, naturally, also follow tradition, using swordsmanship as my path to forge ahead."

These are the main branches of Kendo.
