In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

Chapter 137 Chakra, Sword One

"Pfft!"

However, before Chu He could finish speaking, a burst of blood-red light suddenly erupted, and everything came to an abrupt end.

His body went limp and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, but there was no longer any sign of life in them.

"Kill! Kill! Kill—"

The instant Lu Yuan killed Chu He, more than ten silver sword wielders and hundreds of iron sword wielders rushed towards the surviving members of the Chu family.

With virtually no resistance, the vast Chu family was completely wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour.

The Chu family's wealth, as well as various secret manuals, elixirs, and other resources, were all confiscated.

After a thorough search, the team carried away in a grand procession, carrying boxes of all sizes.

Next, the wealthy and powerful families on the list were all completely wiped out.

In an instant, the air was thick with fear, and the entire Shangwu County seemed to be gripped by terror.

This terror lasted for three whole days.

Only after completely eradicating all the remaining remnants of the Longevity Cult did Lu Yuan finally lead his team back to Tianshui Garrison.

"Lu Yuan—my Eternal Life Sect will fight you to the death!"

As the procession departed, a young woman dressed in a white dress with her face veiled suddenly appeared out of nowhere, her eyes filled with resentment and murderous intent.

"Lu Yuan, you have passed this test perfectly!"

Upon returning to the garrison, Zhuo Hang immediately summoned Lu Yuan, beaming as he said, "In addition to the promised 50,000 merit points, you may now begin to study the sword technique passed down by the Sword Master!"

As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan, I have high hopes for you. In the upcoming internal competition, I believe you will be able to show an even more dazzling talent. If you can receive personal guidance from the Sword Master, your future will surely be even more brilliant."

Zhuo Hang raised his hand and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder, smiling encouragingly.

"I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Lu Yuan clasped his hands slightly and bowed to Zhuo Hang.

After returning to his small courtyard, Lu Yuan eagerly opened the scroll, and a sword-practicing diagram slowly unfolded.

It has appeared.

In the picture, an elderly man with white hair is pointing his sword at the sky.

Although the old man's face was not clearly visible, one could still sense a terrifying sword intent emanating from his body.

Even though the sword-practicing picture was just a still image, in Lu Yuan's eyes it seemed as if he saw the white-haired old man swing his sword, cleaving through the sky and severing the void.

"This sword strike seems to have touched upon an invincible technique that delves into the profound mysteries of space!"

Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly, his spirits lifted.

In his mind, on an ancient scroll, there was a small golden figure who was constantly trying to complete the Rift Finger technique, but because the method was severely incomplete, the progress was getting slower and slower.

Now that we have this sword move that also touches on the mysteries of space, it is not impossible that we can learn from it and speed up the process of completing the Sky-Splitting Finger.

In the days that followed, Lu Yuan devoted himself to studying the sword technique passed down by the old sword saint, in addition to continuing to cultivate the Five Elements Vajra Body's meridian opening chapter.

During this time, he also tried to refine the spiritual power stored in the strange pearl to aid his cultivation. The effect was even better than he had imagined. The speed at which he recovered his inner strength was even better than that of precious medicines or sacred medicines like the Blood Bodhi.

In this way, Lu Yuan could directly maximize his cultivation progress without any worries.

Even if he practices the Five Elements Vajra Body Opening Meridian Technique five times a day, he can quickly recover his depleted internal energy.

And just like that, more than ten days passed quickly.

"Finally, I've completed the opening phase of the Five Elements Vajra Body technique just before the internal competition!"

Lu Yuan sensed the changes within his body, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Now, a perfect chakra has been built within his body, allowing his internal energy to circulate freely within it.

Not only is the speed of transferring internal energy several times faster, but the efficiency of restoring internal energy has also been qualitatively improved.

Next, he needs to open up all the major acupoints in his body in order to lay a solid foundation for building the internal furnace.

In addition, Lu Yuan also successfully comprehended the profound mysteries of wind to the Gang Realm. Although it was only the first step into the Gang Realm, just like the mysteries of thunder and fire, it was still able to unleash a power far exceeding the realm of intent.

This means that he has now mastered three profound mysteries based on the Gang Realm.

It can be said that although his cultivation level is still only at the third rank, with the profound knowledge of thunder, fire and wind, which have already established him at the Gang realm, his true strength is probably far beyond that of a so-called quasi-grandmaster.

Even when facing a true martial arts master, if he were to fully unleash his power, he might not be unable to fight him.

Of course, most importantly, although the invincible Void-Splitting Finger technique, which touched upon the mysteries of space, was not successfully completed, it still...

The essence of the Rending Finger technique is perfectly integrated into the sword move passed down by the old sword saint.

It can be said that the current sword move has undergone some changes compared to the one passed down by the old sword saint.

In fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it surpasses it.

Lu Yuan named this brand-new sword move "Sword One".

Almost simultaneously, the ancient scroll in his mind seemed to sense something, reflecting Jian Yi's cultivation progress.

[Swordsman 1 Beginner's Guide (3102/50000)]

After Jian Yi's cultivation progress appeared on the ancient scroll, Lu Yuan immediately began to cultivate, and cultivated at least ten times a day.

In just a few days, he successfully mastered the basics of swordsmanship.

Although practicing Sword One once doesn't take much time, the internal energy required to sustain the practice is extremely terrifying, far surpassing any previous cultivation method.

Even after each cultivation session, the internal energy in Lu Yuan's dantian would be almost completely depleted.

If it weren't for the spiritual energy stored within the extraordinary pearl, the precious medicines he brought out from the secret realm alone probably wouldn't have been enough to support him in maintaining such a high-intensity cultivation state.

Even so, in just a few days, Lu Yuan not only exhausted the spiritual energy stored within the strange pearl, but also...

Most of the precious medicines brought out from the secret realm have also been used up.

Even the Blood Bodhi and the Crimson Essence Fruit are now down to just one each.

Fortunately, despite the great effort, the rewards did not disappoint him.

The sword technique itself is an invincible art that touches upon the mysteries of space. It also incorporates the essence of the concept of the Void-Splitting Finger, which, although incomplete, is still considered an invincible art that touches upon the mysteries of space. Its true power probably has already surpassed the scope of ordinary holy arts.

Although Lu Yuan has only just mastered the basics of Sword One, he believes that with this newly acquired skill, he can easily contend with ordinary martial arts masters, and even defeating a master is not impossible.

"Now, I finally have enough power to protect myself!"

Lu Yuan stepped out of the training room, looked up at the sky, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

He now has enough strength to deal with any retaliation from either the Ziyang Sect or the Changsheng Sect.

Even if a martial arts master were to come in person, his sword would not be at a disadvantage.
