Chapter 79 The Blade of Unfettered Destiny (Please continue reading, thank you)

Pei Lingyu had not gone far when a bright red spirit rune array appeared on the ground in front of her.

"unlucky!"

Upon seeing that familiar teleportation array, Pei Lingyu felt disgusted and cursed inwardly.

At the same time, a girl dressed in a pure white military uniform, whose face was obscured, appeared in the teleportation array like a cluster of light points, blocking Pei Lingyu's way.

"You cannot stop the Holy Maiden from doing anything; this is an alliance between the Central Region and the Pei Clan."

The girl held a silver rapier, her body shimmering with light, and ripples spread out from her feet, forming a huge green halo.

"Have you people from the Central Region been so data-driven that your brains have degenerated?"

""

"That man is currently dating your saintess, and they may even get married and have children in the future."

"Such an important matter, don't you need to investigate it?"

When Pei Lingyu got angry, a fiery red halo appeared around her, like a red-hot furnace, radiating intense light and heat in all directions.

The shimmering light surrounding the Lolita girl was completely melted away by the powerful fire spiritual pressure, revealing the thing on her neck that could hardly be called a "head".

It was an old-fashioned white CRT television, the screen was lit, and countless bytes of 0s and 1s were jumping around.

The "TV head" is surrounded by a cluster of girlish blue and white calla lilies and light white flowers, while two fluffy white feathers hang down on either side of the TV.

Pei Lingyu felt as if ants were crawling all over her body.

Sure enough, no matter how many times she looked at the people of the Central Region, she still couldn't understand them.

Why would these people transform themselves into virtual beings whose consciousness needs to be carried by silicon chips?

No investigation is needed.

"Only words written by a saint with genuine feelings can make readers believe that the world is real. For example, in her recently completed novel 'Battle Through the Sky,' the indomitable young man surnamed Xiao is very popular among the long-sleeping readers."

"And this can suppress the awakening of the long-sleeping ones—which is very important for the Central Region."

The girl in the television-like camera raised the rapier that emitted six-colored light, pointing it at Pei Lingyu in front of her, and once again warned in her cold, mechanical voice: "Your Pei family doesn't like the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden doesn't like your Pei family either—"

"Please spare yourself and the saintess, and stop causing her unnecessary trouble."

"Lophista!" Pei Lingyu's eyes blazed with fury, and the flames surrounding her body expanded in all directions like a domain, quickly forming a burning fire field that enveloped the two of them.

Her left hand rested on the hilt of the knife, gripping it tightly. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed, as if boundless rage was lurking within her.

"Say what you just said again if you dare!"

'

As Pei Lingyu revealed her killing intent, a death star directly facing the inner city of Linjiang began to flash wildly in the sky.

The legal covenant established by the four clans and one government carried a powerful sense of oppression, enveloping her and locking her aura.

"Go outside the city to fight."

Lophista's form disintegrated into particles of light and quickly disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, Pei Lingyu's phone vibrated; an unfamiliar message broke through the firewall against harassment and appeared on her phone screen.

"East China Sea Reef, if you don't come, you're a dog."

""

The night sky was filled with stars, a gentle autumn breeze blew, and willows swayed by the artificial lake.

.

After Pei Lingyu left, Chen Jue returned to the courtyard of the Western-style building and, under the moonlight and starlight of the previous night, watched the top-level sword technique he had obtained for free from his sister-in-law—"The Sword of Heavenly Intent".

This sword technique, just from its name, sounds incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the book is very thin; the mental cultivation method and techniques together are only sixteen pages long.

Chen Jue first carefully read through the book and was surprised to find that this so-called top-level sword technique actually only had three simple moves.

One version says: "Crossing the river and breaking the mountain."

With a sweeping horizontal slash, he uses the true energy of the human body to drive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, using the small world to influence the large world.

With a slash of light, it can cut through soldiers and break people up close, and it can also traverse rivers and shatter mountains in half.

The second story is about a divine axe splitting a mountain.

Holding the knife vertically, he draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and boundless sharpness, converging it onto the blade.

Like a divine axe splitting a mountain, it can cleave the clouds and shatter the sky above, and split the earth into the deepest abyss below.

Three days: The cross opens the sky.

When the forces of heaven and earth unite, the will of heaven is to kill; when heaven and earth are separated, there is no escape from eternal doom.

The three moves, horizontal and vertical, each seem quite simple, nothing more than horizontal and vertical slashes, and finally a combination of horizontal and vertical.

However, in reality, whether it's a horizontal slash, a vertical slash, or a combination of both, each sword technique is followed by a detailed explanation spanning five pages.

It's basic, but it includes the correct sword-wielding technique.

It's complex; there's how true qi circulates in the meridians.

The profound question is how one can mobilize external energy with internal energy, using a mortal body to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As for the final descriptions of "the cross opening the heavens" and "the will of heaven is mine," they were so bizarre that Chen Jue couldn't even understand them.

"Use vertical and horizontal lines as the framework, and heaven and earth as the means."

""

"Overwhelming all enemies, Heaven's will prevails."

,

'

Chen Jue silently recited the mental techniques of the "Heavenly Will Blade" manual, following the postures in the book and imitating them, continuously unleashing hundreds of "horizontal and vertical slashes".

O

A gentle night breeze blew, and the blade whistled softly as it brushed against the wind.

"—" Chen Jue was so angry at himself that he laughed.

He swung those hundreds of blades, but he didn't even get close to the basics of the "Heavenly Will Blade Technique." He didn't even bother to record it in his reward log, giving him absolutely no chance to get started.

Chen Jue sat back down on the veranda, frowning in thought, repeatedly reviewing the posture of swinging the sword and the path of the internal energy in his body.

It's not that I'm not skilled enough in the moves.

He had at least mastered the Six Harmonies Blade Technique, which contained the ultimate true meaning, to perfection.

No matter how profound the sword techniques are, there's no reason why someone wouldn't be able to master them even after practicing a hundred times.

Secondly, it wasn't that his understanding of swordsmanship was flawed.

The five elements of true energy surged within his body, forming a rhythmic quality almost akin to the "Tao," which could not be faked.

Finally, he attributed the problem to the inability of his internal Five Elements Qi to draw upon the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.

Drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is an ability that should only be possessed by those at the "Spirit Cultivation Realm".

Although he was a martial artist at the True Qi Realm and possessed the "True Dragon Slaying Technique" that could draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he was still far from being able to actually master it.

"So, what was the opportunity to get started?"

Chen Jue looked at the long saber in his hand.

Could it be a problem with the knife?

He tightened his grip on the knife, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the basic spirit runes on his arm, symbolizing "horizontal slash" and "vertical cleave."

,

Holy crap! How could he forget about that?!

He possesses the ability to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

It's not just about horizontal and vertical slashes!

Chen Jue stood up and went to the center of the courtyard.

He once again drew his sword following the moves described in the book.

This strike seemed to be played in slow motion.

Chen Jue perfected every detail, both internal and external, until he reached the critical point of communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through his internal energy.

He chose to release the "Horizontal Slash" spirit pattern that was bound on his arm, allowing it to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and slash forward with a blade of energy that cut through the air.

fail.

But the feeling of "internal energy" communicating with "external energy" remained vaguely.

Chen Jue continued his slow, horizontal slashes, reinforcing this feeling of "internal and external connection".

After slashing thirty times, Chen Jue stopped.

He stood quietly in the center of the courtyard, locking the horizontal slash spirit pattern on his arm once again.

"Dad? Cousin, what happened?"

Standing on the second-floor balcony, He Tangtang watched Chen Jue practice his horizontal and vertical slashes in the courtyard for nearly two hours, her face full of doubt.

"Shh, don't make a sound. Your brother's current state is just like a scene from a martial arts novel, as if he's trying to comprehend something extraordinary—"

Although He Yuanshan couldn't understand what Chen Jue was up to, he firmly believed that his nephew had the potential to become immortal. Now that the other party was behaving strangely, there must be a great reason behind it.

Chen Jue, who had been standing quietly in the hall for a long time, finally circulated the five elements of true qi in his body to perfection, following the essence of the sword technique.

He slowly drew his sword from his waist, and the five elements of true energy within his body immediately surged through his blood vessels.

A strange color appeared on the back of Chen Jue's hand along his meridians, then spread to his arms, back, and finally covered his entire body.

Hurala!

Before the sword was even fully drawn, the cool night breeze seemed to have been disturbed.

A sense of solemnity suddenly filled the air.

Buzz!

The long saber in Chen Jue's hand seemed unable to withstand the pressure and began to tremble and whimper softly.

However, the spreading and covering Five Elements True Qi suppressed its cowardice, transforming it into a ferocious beast lurking in the night, opening its fierce eyes that disregarded all living things.

Clang!

The long sword was finally fully drawn.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to collapse in space and time, condensing in an instant onto the slash Chen Jue unleashed.

brush!

A flash of light appeared, and an invisible force swept across the space in front of Chen Jue at lightning speed.

The night wind was suddenly cleaved in two, separating into upper and lower parts.

The willows standing tall by the lake were snapped in half with a "snap," their cut surfaces as smooth as mirrors, not even having time to spill their sap.

Holy crap!!!

'

The father and daughter of the He family simultaneously swore, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Chen Jue seemed not to hear his uncle and cousin's exclamations.

He glanced down at the fallen willow trees and the words "I have mastered the basics of the Heavenly Will Blade" in his Diary of Rewards for Diligence, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"What top-tier swordsmanship? The difficulty is nothing more than this—"
