I Have the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye in the Storm Riders

In this world, there are only a few ways to improve one's inner strength.

First, one must cultivate diligently and accumulate knowledge over time.

But this was clearly not suitable for Jiang Chen; he didn't have that much time to slowly endure it.

Secondly, there are rare and precious materials, such as blood bodhi seeds, dragon essence, and phoenix blood.

The Blood Bodhi is in Lingyun Cave, so I can get some this time.

However, while Blood Bodhi can increase one's power, there is a limit to how much it can increase.

As for Dragon Essence and Phoenix Blood... those are things from the very late stages of the game, don't even think about them now.

Third, one can absorb the power of others, such as the Absorption Technique or the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

But this thing has too many side effects and is easy to go astray, so Jiang Chen doesn't want to go down this path.

"Isn't there any other way?" Jiang Chen rubbed his temples in frustration.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

"etc!"

"Holy Sun Sword Technique..." He suddenly sat up straight, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The Holy Sun Sword Technique is a mythical sword technique that combines the "Ultimate Yang" of the Blazing Sun Sword Technique with the "Extreme Emotion" of the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

Its essence is "Sword Intent Transformation".

To support a "boundary" requires enormous energy.

Where does this energy come from?

Nature is between heaven and earth!

"Heavenly Sword Realm..." Jiang Chen murmured to himself, "Legend has it that those who reach the Heavenly Sword Realm can draw upon the power of heaven and earth for their own use."

"Now that my Sacred Sun Sword Technique has reached the level of 'Sword Intent Transformation,' does that mean I can also use this sword technique to draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth to nourish myself?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart began to pound violently.

If this conjecture is correct, then the Holy Sun Sword Technique is not only a killing technique, but also a top-level internal energy cultivation method!

Moreover, it is a peerless mental cultivation method that can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into one's own internal energy!

"Give it a try!" Jiang Chen suppressed his excitement and immediately sat cross-legged with his palms facing upwards.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate the inner power of the Holy Sun Sword Technique.

hum!

As the mental cultivation technique was activated, the true energy within his body began to surge.

The once calm dantian seemed to have turned into a huge vortex, starting to spin wildly.

Immediately afterwards, a strange fluctuation emanated from his body and spread outwards.

It was his sword intent.

Although he didn't draw his sword, the intent of swordsmanship already permeated the entire room.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The moonlight outside the window seemed to be drawn by something, transforming into visible streams of silver light that passed through the window and converged around Jiang Chen.

It's not just moonlight.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth floating in the surrounding air, like sharks smelling blood, surged wildly towards Jiang Chen.

Whoohoo!

A gentle breeze suddenly swept through the room.

But this wind is no ordinary wind; it is a wind of spiritual energy formed from the pure primordial energy of heaven and earth!

These primordial energies of heaven and earth seeped into Jiang Chen's body through his pores. After being refined by the Sacred Sun Sword Technique, they were quickly transformed into pure Yang True Qi, which flowed into his dantian.

After just one cycle of circulation, Jiang Chen felt his internal energy increase slightly.

Although it was only a trace, the speed was more than ten times faster than his usual arduous training!

"It really works!" Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

His guess was right!

The Holy Sun Sword Technique can indeed accelerate the cultivation of internal energy!

Moreover, this cultivation method directly plunders the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it extremely domineering and incredibly efficient!

"With this technique, how can I worry about not having strong internal energy?" Jiang Chen clenched his fist, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Given enough time, he would dare to confront even that old monster, Di Shitian, head-on!

"However..." Jiang Chen glanced out the window.

It was already late at night, but the inn was still brightly lit and bustling with people.

However, after careful observation, he discovered that the people around him were completely unaware of the intense fluctuations in the天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) that had just occurred.

"That's true." Jiang Chen chuckled. "The primordial energy of heaven and earth is inherently formless and intangible. Unless one reaches the realm of 'Heavenly Sword' or 'Unity of Heaven and Man,' ordinary martial artists cannot perceive its existence."

In their eyes, everything that had just happened was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

"Since that's the case..." A glint of light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, "then I can cultivate without restraint!"

He no longer held back and focused all his energy on the Holy Sun Sword Technique.

Half a month later.

Leshan Giant Buddha.

Two fine horses stopped on the cliff at the top of the Buddha statue.

Jiang Chen and Duan Lang dismounted and stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the magnificent stone Buddha statue below.

The Buddha statue is built against the mountain, its head level with the mountain, its feet stepping on the river, its hands resting on its knees, its expression solemn and its aura majestic.

Below, the Minjiang, Qingyi, and Dadu rivers converge, their currents swift and turbulent, crashing against the shore and churning up countless whitecaps.

"We've finally arrived." Duan Lang looked at the familiar scene below, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

This is where he was born, and also where he lost his family's honor.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen patted his shoulder. "Let's go get back what's rightfully yours."

"Alright!" Duan Lang took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The two exchanged a glance, then moved swiftly and leaped off the cliff simultaneously.

Whoohoo!

The wind whistled in my ears.

The two of them glided down through the air like two large birds and landed steadily on the Buddha's left knee.

This is a huge platform, large enough to accommodate dozens of people.

Beside the Buddha's right knee is a bottomless cave, with several powerful characters carved above the entrance: Lingyun Cave!

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at the stone walls on both sides of the Buddha's knees.

There, a couplet was carved, the characters still clearly legible despite the erosion of time:

"The water submerged the Buddha's knees, and the Lingyun Cave burned down."

Jiang Chen silently recited the couplet, his gaze fixed on the deep, dark cave entrance.

With a thought, golden light flowed deep within his eyes.

Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, open!

In that instant, his gaze seemed to pierce through layers of darkness.

However, the terrain inside Lingyun Cave is intricate and complex, like a maze. Even with the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, it is impossible to see the entire winding passage.

However, his goal was not to watch the road.

The line of sight continued to penetrate deeper, traversing a distance of thousands of feet.

Deep within the labyrinth, a ball of intensely red energy came into view.

It was a colossal beast engulfed in raging flames, sleeping soundly in a spacious cave.

Every scale on its body seemed to be formed from flames, radiating a chillingly high temperature.

Qilin True Qi!

That wasn't fire, it was a powerful, materialized true energy!

"The Fire Qilin is indeed inside." Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Although it's impossible to see the legendary "Blood Bodhi" that can increase one's power—after all, it's an inanimate object and not within the observation range of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye—once the location of the Fire Qilin is determined, everything else will be easier.

"Let's go in, Brother Lang." Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, the golden light in his eyes disappeared, and he took the lead in walking towards the cave entrance.

"Wait." Just as Jiang Chen was about to step into the cave, Duan Lang suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen stopped and looked at him with some confusion.

Duan Lang's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on the dark cave entrance, as if some ferocious beast was lurking inside.

"Jiang Chen, there is something terrifying inside this Lingyun Cave."
