The next morning.
Su Changge slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was brilliant and bright. After stabilizing himself once more, his Dao Foundation gradually settled.
After all, breaking through too quickly could easily destabilize one's Dao Foundation, leaving hidden calamities upon the path of the Great Dao in the future.
At this moment, his aura was as profound as an abyss and as vast as the sea. Immortal light drifted around him, Dao rhymes permeated the air, and he possessed an otherworldly, transcendent bearing.
"Is Changge here?!"
At that moment, the voice of the Returning Origin Holy Master came from outside the Returning Origin Holy Hall.
"The Holy Master? Why has he come here?"
Su Changge was somewhat puzzled, but he still rose and slowly pushed open the door.
The instant the door opened, he saw the smiling Returning Origin Holy Master striding toward him.
When he was still several zhang away, the Returning Origin Holy Master laughed heartily. "Changge, I heard all about what happened yesterday at Sword Burial Abyss and the Returning Origin Martial Arts Arena!"
"I have to say, you truly have the bearing of a Divine Son!"
Su Changge smiled faintly and returned the greeting. "You flatter me, Holy Master."
At this moment, the Returning Origin Holy Master continued, "Changge, I heard that you used a fist technique at the Returning Origin Martial Arts Arena?"
He stared deeply at Su Changge. His smile faded, and his tone became somewhat solemn. "Did this cultivation technique also come from a Heavenly Dao Blessing?"
Su Changge froze for a moment. Nearly every holy land already knew about this, so he merely nodded slowly and said yes.
The Returning Origin Holy Master, whose eyes had concealed a trace of anticipation, immediately wilted like a limp cucumber.
"As expected..."
The Returning Origin Holy Master gave a bitter laugh, his heart filled with sourness.
Back when he cultivated, he had fought tooth and nail just to obtain a supreme cultivation technique.
Yet now, someone else could obtain one as easily as picking it up. How infuriating!
Thinking of this, he laughed at himself again. Compared to Su Changge, wasn't he simply asking for misery?
He could not possibly envy Su Changge.
"Changge, I know your talent in the sword Dao is no weaker than your talent in the fleshly body."
"Therefore, the ancestors ordered me to give you this Ancient Sword Art."
The Returning Origin Holy Master took a jade slip from his robes.
"This is a sword art left behind by a senior of the holy land in ancient times. He was once a great master of the sword Dao, obsessed with the sword throughout his life. He left this sword art behind before ascending beyond the mortal world. It is called One Sword Yin Yang."
"I heard this sword art is an immortal's technique, but that senior departed in haste, so what he left behind was only an incomplete fragment."
"Though it is only an incomplete fragment, it can still be considered a top-tier cultivation technique within the North Abyss Dao Domain."
"If you can cultivate it to great mastery, perhaps you may sense a trace of the Intent of Immortality from it."
The Returning Origin Holy Master patiently introduced it to Su Changge.
Ding! New mission detected. Option one: request a different cultivation technique. Reward: Mountains and Rivers Diagram. Option two: accept this cultivation technique. Reward: One Sword Yin Yang (complete version).
"The complete version of One Sword Yin Yang? Wouldn't that be an immortal technique?"
Seeing Su Changge fall silent in thought, the Returning Origin Holy Master assumed that he did not want the technique. "If you do not want it—"
"I do! Holy Master, I'll take this technique!" Su Changge hurriedly snatched it over.
Upon hearing the system's notification that the option had been completed, excitement surged in his heart. This was a legendary immortal technique!
Seeing that Su Changge had decided to learn it, he revealed a satisfied smile. "I have also studied this art before. Over the past four years, I have grasped quite a bit of it. If the Divine Son needs anything, feel free to seek me out. I can guide you in cultivating it."
Yet inwardly, he was holding back laughter. What four years? I've cultivated it for ten years! It took me ten years just to achieve a little success! I refuse to believe he can learn it in a single day!
When the time comes, he will definitely come looking for me and ask how to cultivate this technique.
Then, I can temper this brat's sharp edge and let him know that this Holy Master is actually exceptionally talented too!
Thinking of this, the Holy Master's smile became even more radiant.
When the Divine Son came to seek him out, his reputation as Holy Master would rise as well!
Unfortunately, imagination was beautiful, while reality was cruel!
What was Su Changge?
He had cheats! Trying to take advantage of him was impossible unless the system died!
After seeing off the Returning Origin Holy Master.
Su Changge took out the complete version of One Sword Yin Yang from the system inventory.
One Sword Yin Yang (complete version): Created by an unknown great master of the sword Dao using the realizations of his entire life. It emphasized defeating the enemy in one move—One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques, One Sword Subdues Ten Meetings.
"One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques? No matter how dazzling and fancy the tricks are, I only need one sword?"
"Interesting."
Su Changge was quite satisfied with this. The Great Dao was simplest at its core; this was what he wanted.
"Use One Sword Yin Yang."
Buzz—
In an instant, a ball of light entered his mind.
Immediately afterward, an obscure Dao rhyme emerged from within his body.
In just an instant, he had comprehended this cultivation technique!
After settling this realization, Su Changge slowly opened his eyes. "What kind of scene would it create if One Sword Yin Yang were combined with Yin Yang Sword Qi?"
Action was better than thought. Su Changge arrived at an open area.
He held his breath and focused, mobilizing the Yin Yang Sword Qi.
Two terrifying streams of sword qi emerged as though they had torn through the void. Like two immortal divine lights, they swirled around him.
One side carried ultimate frost, as if it could freeze all things.
The other carried ultimate heat, as though it could turn all things to ash.
At this moment, endless sword intent rose within Su Changge's eyes.
Countless Dao rhymes flowed through his mind, while countless ancient characters formed line after line of words.
"One sword."
He raised his right hand in a sword-finger gesture and slashed diagonally toward the void!
"Yin Yang!"

Whoosh—
Accompanied by the sound of something slicing through the void.
A brilliant sword beam shot straight into the clouds and vanished into the depths of the sky!
"Hm? Did it have no effect?"
Seeing no reaction after so long, Su Changge was indeed somewhat puzzled.
Buzz!!
But at that moment, within the deep firmament, a blazing cold star seemed to flicker.
Then, that cold star—like the sole glimmer of light on a pitch-black horizon—instantly expanded without limit!
Beneath that brilliant radiance, the terrifying sword qi even turned the entire sky white as day for a brief moment!
This terrifying sight also startled everyone in the holy land.
"Fuck! Enemy attack!!"
"Damn it! Which fool with a death wish has dared attack our Returning Origin Holy Land?!"
The Returning Origin Holy Land disciples who had been cultivating were all jolted awake by this sword qi.
Some even rushed out bare-chested, one hand clutching their pants.
Their faces were full of fury, as if they wanted to find the culprit who had interrupted their good time.
Within the Returning Origin Ancestral Land.
The ancestors could not help exchanging bitter smiles as they watched this scene.
Everything within the Returning Origin Holy Land lay within their perception, so they knew exactly what Su Changge had just done.
"Changge, this child truly gives people no peace of mind..."
Yet there was not the slightest trace of blame in their tone. Instead, it was filled with boundless indulgence.
After all, having such a powerful Divine Son was an immense opportunity for the Returning Origin Holy Land.
In another direction.
The earth-shaking commotion also alerted the Returning Origin Holy Master.
Especially when he sensed that familiar aura, he was utterly dazed!
This was the sword art he had given Su Changge!
"He learned it already?!"
How long had it even been? And he had already learned it!?
"Is he even fucking human?"
Still unable to believe it, he transformed into a streak of light and hurried back to the Returning Origin Holy Hall.
Yet after arriving at the Returning Origin Holy Hall, the dense residual sword qi in the area.
Filled him with even greater terror.
"Ch-Changge, y-you..."
Su Changge also noticed the Returning Origin Holy Master and smiled. "Holy Master, you came at just the right time. I feel that the power of that sword strike just now was still lacking something."
"Could you help me improve it?" There was a hint of embarrassment in Su Changge's tone.
After all, the Holy Master was surely a top expert. Perhaps his performance just now had still disappointed the Holy Master somewhat?
The Returning Origin Holy Master nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Countless grass-mud horses stampeded through his heart!
Was this fucking still human?!
Was there any justice left?!
Was there any law left?!
He had cultivated it to such a level in less than half an incense stick's time—then what was he?
He had cultivated bitterly for decades!
He had wanted to use this chance to take a little advantage of Su Changge, but who would have thought that—
A dying man suddenly sat bolt upright from his sickbed; the clown was actually me!
"Holy Master?"
Looking at the Returning Origin Holy Master's face, which shifted from green to white, Su Changge was somewhat puzzled.
Did this fantasy world also have face-changing?
"Holy Master, perhaps it was because I did not use my own weapon just now, so the power was still a little lacking?" Having thought it through, Su Changge muttered to himself.
After all, with the Azure Heaven Sword's enhancement, this strike would only become even more terrifying.
"Oh, oh, yes!"
The Returning Origin Holy Master patted Su Changge on the shoulder, putting on a seasoned appearance. "Ahem, Changge! There is still a vast gap between you and me."
"However, I believe you will definitely surpass me!"
"Go ahead and try using your weapon. Show your true strength—do not disappoint me again!" the Returning Origin Holy Master said against his conscience.
Why could he say something so brazen without his face reddening or his heart racing?
Because just moments ago, his heart had already died!
Back then, he had cultivated the Dao so bitterly for so long. The ancestors had even thrown him into a world of demonic beasts to temper himself.
In the end, he had been driven by those demonic beasts into a remote mountain forest, forced to gnaw on tree bark to stave off hunger. Only after great difficulty had he completed the ancestors' task, and even then, he had needed a stroke of fortune.
But now, after seeing Su Changge...
What had he sought the Dao for all these years?
"Thinking back to that figure running beneath the setting sun—that was my youth, now gone!" At this moment, the Returning Origin Holy Master's very soul seemed to ascend.
Then, Su Changge took the Azure Heaven Sword from the system inventory.
"Azure Heaven, this is your first time showing your brilliance in this world. Do not disappoint me." Su Changge stroked the Azure Heaven Sword and smiled.
Buzz—
The Azure Heaven Sword gave a soft tremble, as though responding to Su Changge.
Su Changge's smile vanished.
He placed the sword at his left waist. His left hand formed a loose grip, taking the stance of a sword sheath.
In an instant.
Faint sword qi runes spread around the blade, while endless sword qi converged upon the Azure Heaven Sword.
The mere pressure of it gathering seemed capable of slicing apart the entire void.
Hiss—
"This sword is no ordinary thing!"
The instant he saw the Azure Heaven Sword, the Returning Origin Holy Master sensed its extraordinary nature.
Especially as the Azure Heaven Sword began to awaken, even he, a dignified Holy Master, felt a chill run down his spine. He had never seen such a terrifying divine weapon!
At this moment, Su Changge slowly closed his eyes.
It was as if heaven and earth contained only him.
He merged himself with the sword.
Man and Sword as One, heart united with the Dao!

At this moment.
There was no self and no other—only the sword in his hand.
Huff—
As Su Changge exhaled a breath of turbid air.
His tightly shut eyes suddenly flew open!
A razor-sharp sword intent flashed through his eyes!
Godslaying Sword Intent—his very thought communed with the divine!
"Slash!"
A sword soul as dazzling as moonlight swept forth, that brilliant sword radiance shining like a vast full moon.
Amid the howling sword qi, a straight beam of sword light cleaved horizontally toward the heavens!
At that instant, all things fell silent, and the world froze!
Only the dazzling sword gleam left by the blade remained in the void, scattering trails of afterglow!
When they could see clearly again,
Su Changge was already holding his sword level before him, his body like an ancient pine, as though he had never moved.
If not for the soul-chilling cold gleam flowing along the blade in his hand,
it would have seemed like a motionless painting.
The Returning Origin Holy Master was somewhat confused. What kind of move was that?
Crack!!
But at that moment, a heart-quailing sound of shattering resounded through heaven and earth!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A region of the sky actually began to fracture inch by inch like a spiderweb!
Within it lay a pitch-black expanse, like void and primal chaos!
"Th-this... he shattered a section of space?"
The Returning Origin Holy Master was utterly dumbfounded!
The cracks continued to spread. As their diameter expanded, terrifying spatial storms churned within them!
"Divine punishment! This is divine punishment!"
"The sky has actually shattered! Is this the end of the world?!"
"Could the Immortal Path have opened? Only immortals could cause such a terrifying phenomenon!"
"It seems to be the Returning Origin Holy Hall! Could it be the Divine Son?"
The many disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land were already stunned senseless! What kind of monster was their Divine Son?
Shattering space while in the Purple Mansion Realm?
As a supreme aura drifted out from the direction of the ancestral grounds, the shattered void was slowly repaired.
"Changge, you had better give me an explanation!"
Po Jun Ancestor appeared in Su Changge's line of sight at some unknown moment, a trace of anger on his face.
This brat—was he really trying to poke a hole in the heavens?
Was he going to overturn the entire Holy Land tomorrow?
