Translator: 549690339 1

“Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has comprehended the Thousand Butterfly Illusion Movement Technique from your teachings of The Eight Diagrams. As a result, you have gained the Thunder Illusion for your Thundercrossing Divine Technique.”

A golden light emerged.

Su Lingxiu had comprehended a movement technique.

Li Xuan was not surprised. With Xu Yan’s help, Su Lingxiu herself was extremely talented. It was only natural that she could comprehend her movement technique.

Even without Xu Yan’s assistance, she could have done it, it would have just taken more time.

This time, the feedback from the Golden Finger added a subsidiary movement technique to the Thundercrossing Divine Technique- the Thunder Illusion! While displaying the Thundercrossing Divine Technique, one could manifest thunder illusions that conceal the true body, making it impossible for others to detect its location.

“Not bad, the movement technique has become stronger!”

Li Xuan was in a great mood.

The Thundercrossing Divine Technique was extremely powerful. With an increased power level, one could move as fast as thunder traversing the void in just a split second.

In the following time, Xu Yan and Meng Chong were contemplating The Eight Diagrams, with Su Lingxiu also participating. Even the time spent on alchemy had been reduced.

Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan were training hard as well.

With the aid of elixirs, the speed of their training increased dramatically. Xie Lingfeng has already broken through to the level of an intermediate Grandmaster.

Hu Shan, being on the verge of reaching the level of an intermediate Grandmaster, also made a breakthrough this time.

After Kou Ruozhi had built the alchemy room, Su Lingxiu went to guide his training, as well as instructing a group of young men and women in their practice of alchemy, providing them with elixirs.

However, alchemy itself would have to wait a little longer.

At least until the apprentices of alchemy reach the Bone Tempering stage, they would be eligible to learn about Alchemy.

Only after reaching the Bone Tempering stage can one have greater stamina to complete Alchemy.

Supplies for practicing Alchemy and deity fire crystals were being sent over continuously.

As the martial arts training in the borderland kept expanding, the number of martial artists kept increasing. However, the number of genuine beginners in martial arts was still too few.

Most of the beginners in martial arts were concentrating on Xu’s family and Chang Qing Pavilion.

“Kou Ruozhi, you are close to making a breakthrough in Martial Arts. Temporarily hand over the tasks at hand to others and focus on your training to make a breakthrough as soon as possible,” said Su Lingxiu to Kou Ruozhi.

“Yes, Pavilion Master, I will make a breakthrough in Martial Arts as soon as possible,” Kou Ruozhi responded excitedly.

“Once you have made a breakthrough in Martial Arts, there will be some tasks for you to handle. Given your abilities, I’m confident you will handle them without fault,” Su Lingxiu nodded.

“You can rest assured, Pavilion Master. I will complete the tasks perfectly without any errors,” Kou Ruozhi assured, patting his chest.

With his intelligence, it naturally occurred to him that he might be needed to go to the Inner Domain.

Having finished her instructions, Su Lingxiu went back to join her two senior brothers in their contemplation of The Eight Diagrams.

She had already reached completion with her qi and blood cultivation and was accumulating strength. When her foundation was strong enough, she would break through to the Innate Realm.

The divinity of the Innate Realm had already been explained to her by Xu Yan.

Even though time flew by and neither Xu Yan nor Meng Chong had made any breakthroughs, their strength continued to grow steadily.

Li Xuan was very satisfied with this.

“Your disciple Meng Chong has made small achievements in the realm of Knife

Spirit. As a result, your knife spirit has reached completion.”

Meng Chong’s Knife Spirit had made minor advancements.

“Your disciple Meng Chong has made small achievements in the realm of Knife Intent. As a result, your Knife Intent has reached completion.”

Meng Chong’s Knife Intent had also improved.

“When will Xu Yan comprehend the second realm of Sword Dao?”

Li Xuan wondered to himself.

Xu Yan had already reached the great achievement of Clear Sword Heart and comprehended the second realm of Sword Intent. However, due to the limitations of his realm, he was temporarily unable to display the second realm of Sword Intent.

“If Xu Yan comprehends the Heart Sword Realm, even if he can’t break through due to a lack of strength, I should be able to break through to the Heart Sword Realm first.”

Li Xuan murmured to himself.

The Heart Sword Realm, this stage of Sword Dao is too advanced.

Though Xu Yan had already reached Clear Sword Heart’s great accomplishment, to comprehend how to break through and step into the Heart Sword Realm was not an easy feat.

“The Heart Sword Realm, probably requires one to be above the Tongxuan Realm to touch upon it, right?”

Li Xuan seemed lost in thought.

The Heart Sword Realm was too mysterious. Conceiving all things under heaven as a sword, how powerful would that be?

Would it be too difficult for the Tongxuan Realm to achieve?

But it might not necessarily be the case. Given Xu Yan’s exceptional talent, even at the Tongxuan Realm he could initially conceive all things under heaven as a sword – it was not impossible.

“As for Meng Chong’s second stage of Knife Dao, the distance is still far. However, the mysteries of the acupoints of the Great Sun Golden Body have been decoded by him to a large extent. His strength has increased.”

Li Xuan’s gaze was concentrated, and inside his Great Sun Golden Body’s acupoints, he had already cultivated some profound mysteries.

“The number of borderland martial artists is still too small, but breaking through a hundred martial artists should not be too far away. Will there be feedback upon breaking a hundred?”

Li Xuan was looking forward to it.

He was already a martial arts saint master that the borderland martial artists believed in, and was also respectfully referred to as the Ancestor of Borderland Martial Arts!

If that’s the case, as the number of beginners in martial arts cultivation increases, there must be feedback.

Outside the manor, on the hillside.

Xu Yan slashed out with his sword, displaying the Life Sword of Rivers and Mountains. Suddenly in the rivers and mountains, thunder rolled and boomed. A sword of thunder, raging and unmatched, seemed to destroy the heavens and earth.

lhe rivers, mountains, and the whole world seemed to tremble at this.

“Zhen represents thunder, so this sword should be called the Zhen Thunder Sword.”

Xu Yan muttered to himself.

This was a sword technique he had enlightened from The Eight Diagrams, the second sword technique in his Rivers and Mountains Sword Dao!

Zhen Thunder Sword!

On the other side, Meng Chong contemplated for a while, then blasted out a fist. The wind roared and thunder boomed, golden light emerged, and the raging fist force poured towards the sky.

“Zhen is Thunder, Xun is Wind. My Wind Thunder Vajra Fist can also be enlightened and improved through The Eight Diagrams.”

Meng Chong soared into the air and began to perform it.

Thunder was fierce, and a storm was sweeping. In the sky, a storm carried along with thunder, running wild all around. A figure of golden light, like a Vajra Arhat, was so fierce that all evils retreated!

Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan looked up, their hearts were shocked. Meng Chong’s strength has become stronger again, what is this fist technique?

It is truly incomparably powerful.

Li Xuan looked up thoughtfully, Meng Chong had gained some insights from

The Eight Diagrams, and his Wind Thunder Vajra Fist had made a breakthrough.

“Your disciple Meng Chong has comprehended the true meaning of Wind and Thunder, and your true understanding of Wind and Thunder is complete.”

Golden light emerged, with the Golden Finger’s feedback coming.

“Your disciple Xu Yan has comprehended the second sword of the Rivers and

Mountains, the Zhen Thunder Sword, and you have fully comprehended the Zhen Thunder Sword.”

Xu Yan’s feedback also came.

Li Xuan was delighted in his heart. It was indeed a wise decision to bring out The Eight Diagrams back then.

Now, it has started to bear fruit.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong have both gained something from The Eight Diagrams, and they understand the profoundness of The Eight Diagrams better. Both of them felt that they were still far from truly understanding the mystery of The Eight Diagrams.

In their hearts, they marveled that what their master had passed on to them was truly an endless path of martial arts!

Su Lingxiu was also comprehending. With the help of Xu Yan and Meng Chong, she gradually gained some insights according to her talents and preferences. ‘

Li Xuan glanced and saw that what Su Lingxiu was comprehending was a martial art related to needles.

Su Lingxiu has already enlightened the Golden Needle Crossing the Aperture and others, which are contained in the Medical Martial Scripture.

However, she still lacked some more powerful killing techniques.

“The mystery of The Eight Diagrams is really immeasurable. Each time I delve

into it, I feel its infinite use and profoundness, as if I can never fully comprehend it, and only understand a little bit of the skin.”

After instructing Su Lingxiu, Xu Yan sighed with emotion.

“Indeed, the mystery of The Eight Diagrams is truly profound.”

Meng Chong agreed with a nod.

Even the eldest brother thinks it’s mysterious, it shows how powerful and profound The Eight Diagrams is.

Su Lingxiu slightly closed her eyes, and even as the blood surged within her, golden needles appeared one after another, surrounding her.

Suddenly, the golden needles shot out, continuously changing. For a moment, they were as gentle as a gust of wind, penetrating everything and stabbing at everything.

Thud!

A small golden needle was embedded in a tree. The needle was small, but it only left a tiny needle hole in the tree.

Yet, the area around the needle hole gradually withered, seeming to have turned into a rotten piece of wood.

It was as if the lifeblood carried by the golden needle had directly withered the trunk and destroyed its vitality.

With a crunch.

The tree fell down.

Xu Yan exclaimed, “Junior sister’s golden needle technique is not to be underestimated. It’s tiny and swift, silent and deadly. Once it hits, even if it doesn’t kill, it will seriously injure.”

Meng Chong nodded and said, “Moreover, junior sister’s golden needle technique can not only kill people, but also save people!”

Su Lingxiu had finally grasped a needle technique as well.

“Eldest brother, try to take my needle attack!”

Su Lingxiu was excited, having finally understood a powerful killing technique.

Numerous needles rained from the sky, like a gentle breeze sweeping through, enveloping Xu Yan instantly and was about to turn him into a hedgehog in the next moment.

Xu Yan smiled faintly. Instead of using his Innate strength, he used his Qi-Blood Realm’s strength, raising his hand and swiping. Amidst the swirling energy of the Descending Dragon Palm, he captured all the golden needles..
