Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 100 Azure Feather Sword Saint
The five of them began their respective cultivation. Di Yi placed Yanlong aside and allowed him to consume the spiritual herbs of heaven and earth within the World-Stabilizing Banner.

Because of the Dragon God's corpse, many of the spiritual herbs and sacred medicines growing inside the World-Stabilizing Banner are imbued with the dragon's aura, which is of great benefit to the dragon race's cultivation. Unfortunately, Di Yi does not have any cultivation techniques suitable for pure-blooded dragons. Otherwise, with a little nurturing of the Flame Dragon, he could have gained an assistant even more powerful than a Saint Body of the same realm.

The space beneath their feet was a specially isolated area created by Di Yi through the spatial power of the Ding Shi Banner's spirit, ensuring that martial artists cultivating here would not be able to uncover more secrets within the Ding Shi Banner without affecting their cultivation.

This restriction, of course, does not include Di Yi himself.

He took a step forward, his body enveloped by spatial power, and arrived beneath the corpse of the Dragon God.

The closer one gets to the divine corpse, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding world becomes, and the more concentrated the sacred substances within them become, with even a trace of divine substances present.

Accompanying this was the terrifying pressure of the gods.

Even though it was a god who had been dead for many years, just being near the corpse made Di Yi feel immense pressure.

Saints are no longer considered mortals, but they still exist within the realm of the mundane world, while gods are beings on a different level.

The difference between a god and a saint is like the difference between a saint and a mortal who has never practiced martial arts.

A martial artist in the Fish-Dragon Realm is already considered a master, but the ultimate level of the Fish-Dragon Realm only requires refining ten drops of divine blood.

A single drop of divine blood contains energy far exceeding that of an ordinary ninth-stage Fish-Dragon martial artist.

Di Yi stopped five miles away from the corpse of Chenlong, enduring extremely terrifying divine pressure. He looked up at the corpse of Chenlong, and under the True Source Demon Eye, he could see that the closer he got to the corpse, the more active the rules of heaven and earth became, especially the truth rules that resembled golden dragons.

When Chenlong was alive, he must have been a powerful deity who had cultivated the Way of Truth to an extremely high level. Even after his death, his divine corpse could still influence the sacred rules of heaven and earth, causing the rules of truth to manifest around his divine corpse.

Under the pressure of the divine corpse, Emperor Yi began to comprehend the sacred path, and also devoted some energy to improving his spiritual power, studying the first level of the second half of the Mind Realm, the Soul Seal.

After the Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness evolves into the World of the Heart, it is not difficult to cultivate the Soul Seal. You only need to follow the method and keep trying to condense the Soul Seal until you can condense the complete Soul Seal in a single thought and connect it with the World of the Heart. Then you can be considered to have mastered it.

As he delved deeper into his understanding, Di Yi's comprehension of the Soul-Seizing Seal became even more profound.

This is not only a means of controlling others, but also an extremely powerful mental spell, a powerful spell specifically designed to attack the soul and will.

It can fight alone or launch area attacks.

Although both rely on the world of the mind to launch attacks, pure mental attacks are simply about stacking numbers, while Soul Seal adds top-level operation techniques on top of super-powerful numbers.

Numerical values ​​and techniques, combined, constitute a truly heaven-defying method of mental combat.

Every four months, Di Yi would return to the outside world to consult the old woman in green about the wordless sword manual and the way of the sword.

Four months passed inside the banner, while only ten days passed outside.

Thus, after cultivating in the space within the banner for a year and a half, Di Yi finally cultivated Sword One to the tenth level, reaching the state of perfection. He opened three sacred meridians within his body, and his martial arts cultivation was elevated to the sixth transformation of the Fish-Dragon.

His spiritual power cultivation was approaching the peak of the forty-fourth level, and he successfully mastered the first realm of the Path of the Mind: Soul Seal.

Several martial arts skills have also made considerable progress.

It can be said that his combat power has undergone a tremendous change, becoming many times stronger than before his seclusion, while only a little over a month has passed in the outside world. The power and preciousness of time-space treasures can only be truly understood through personal experience.

In the courtyard behind the Blood Cloud Sect, Di Yi unleashed his perfected Sword One technique, and the old woman in blue robes, who had always been indifferent to him, finally showed a rare smile.

"With the sixth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, you have mastered the first sword technique to perfection. You have a chance to become the third sword cultivator in the past thousand years to master the second sword technique in the Fish-Dragon Realm."

Di Yi didn't seem too fixated on this, and said with a faint smile, "The most correct approach is to advance both swordsmanship and martial arts cultivation simultaneously. I think with the swordsmanship talents of the Sword Emperor and Empress Chi Yao, it's not impossible for them to master the third level of swordsmanship in the Fish-Dragon Realm."

The old woman agreed, looking at Di Yi with an appreciative gaze.

"You are able to remain undisturbed by empty fame, which means your sword heart has truly become completely enlightened. Perhaps it won't be long before you can comprehend the state of oneness with heaven and man."

"Your talent in swordsmanship is indeed very high, beyond my expectations. If you focus on cultivating swordsmanship, there is a great chance that you can become the second Sword Emperor."

Di Yi remained noncommittal about this. Although the Sword Emperor was powerful, he was destined not to be a pure sword cultivator. To him, the sword was merely a weapon.

The old woman saw through his thoughts and didn't press him. She simply sighed and took out two golden books from her sleeve, saying, "You've already cultivated Sword One to the tenth level of perfection. I've fulfilled my promise to Illusion Saint. One of these golden books contains my insights and understanding of Sword One to Sword Eight from the Nameless Sword Manual, and the other is a sword technique. During this time, I've guided you in the way of the sword. Although we don't have the title of master and disciple, we've still formed a bond. Consider these two items a gift from this old woman to you."

Di Yi reached out and took it, quite shocked. He knew that the old woman must have a very high level of skill in swordsmanship, but he never expected that she was also a sword saint.

Sword Saint is not a realm, but a title. Only a sword cultivator who has mastered the seventh level of the wordless sword manual to perfection can be called a Sword Saint.

The old woman in blue is already studying the Eight Swords Techniques; she must be a true sword saint.

None of the three great sword saints of the Eastern Region are women, so she must be one of the sword saints from the other four regions.

"Senior passed on the Emperor's Sword Dao. Although we are not formally master and disciple, in my heart, Senior is no different from Master."

The old woman in green smiled upon hearing this and walked out of the courtyard, saying as she went, "This old woman doesn't have much time left. If you weren't the young master of the First-Class Hall in the Eastern Region Black Market, I would really want to take you as my disciple and make you my successor."

"If you remember this connection with the old woman in the future, when you have free time, go to Lingjuan Hill in the Central Region and offer incense at the old woman's grave."

As she spoke, the old woman's aura of old age almost materialized. She had lived for over five hundred years. With the cultivation of a sword saint, she should have had another one or two hundred years of life left. However, the sword techniques passed down in her lineage were too domineering and fierce. While they were extremely powerful, they could also harm the cultivator.

If she cannot break through the Holy King's Heavenly Barrier, her time will come in the next year or two.

Upon hearing this, Di Yi felt a deep sorrow. Even a powerful sword saint was powerless in the face of time.

The old woman in green disappeared completely from his sight, and only then did Di Yi gradually come back to his senses. He opened the golden book in his hand, on which were written the names of sword techniques.

[White Emperor's Heavenly Pivot Sword Technique]

Di Yi's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly guessed the identity of the old woman in green.

"The White Emperor's Heavenly Pivot Sword Technique, Lingjuan Hill, she is the Azure Feather Sword Saint who wields the Heaven-Slaying Sword."
