We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"This is... the supernatural power that old guy cultivated?"

Su Chen used his Primordial Chaos Power to try to take the manual from his arm.

When I took it, I found that the manual seemed to have fused with my arm.

Using various methods, it took ten breaths to finally retrieve the secret manual.

"No wonder they say that martial artists with supernatural powers are incredibly strong; even just one arm contains energy that ordinary martial artists can hardly match!"

Looking at the bloodstains on the manual, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Even this blood carries the unique power of a martial artist with supernatural abilities.

After being cleansed by the power of Hunyuan, Su Chen did not open the manual.

Who knows if this manual contains any techniques left behind by the old man surnamed Zhao?

"Broken Sky Blade, you open it!"

With that, Su Chen tossed the manual to the Broken Sky Blade.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade immediately understood Su Chen's idea, and after cursing, it obediently opened the blade.

"Su Chen, you're being too cautious. It's just an ordinary manual; there's no trap here!"

After opening the Heaven-Slaying Blade in dissatisfaction, it deliberately mocked Su Chen.

Su Chen didn't mind and rolled up the manual to read it.

As he looked at it, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

This manual is indeed a secret manual of supernatural powers, but it is incomplete.

Just as the arm is part of the man surnamed Zhao, so too is the secret manual.

According to the secret manual, the complete Heavenly Wood Great Law is a great supernatural power.

However, it was divided into several parts by the old man surnamed Zhao, and what Su Chen had in his hand was one of them.

Su Chen guessed that the old man surnamed Zhao must have divided the manual into five parts and suppressed them on his limbs and body.

The manual records a method that, once mastered, allows one to store things within their flesh and blood.

That's why the old man surnamed Zhao was able to keep the secret manual on his arm.

"I only have one-fifth of the secret manual. I don't know if I can cultivate it."

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, wanting to cultivate this secret manual.

He quickly finished reading it, but unfortunately the results panel did not show the progress bar for the supernatural power.

This indicates that the panel does not recognize this incomplete supernatural power.

Left with no other choice, Su Chen had to give up cultivating and put the manual away.

"Very good, now we have another reason to kill the old man."

Su Chen had already planned that once he found the Pure Dharma, he would go find the old man surnamed Zhao, kill him, plunder his goods, and steal his supernatural powers.

"Unable to cultivate supernatural powers, I will first refine this arm. The arm contains abundant plant and tree power, which can be perfectly integrated into my primordial power."

Next, Su Chen began refining his arm.

The refining process was rapid, with waves of pure plant energy merging into his primordial energy.

Soon, Su Chen successfully refined the entire arm.

Su Chen suddenly waved his hand, and a long river of Yuan energy was projected onto Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan, who was originally in seclusion to heal his injuries, received this Primordial Chaos Power, and his injuries are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After doing all this, Su Chen looked at the Heaven-Slaying Blade: "By the way, Xuanqi, how can you advance to become a Dharma Aspect Divine Weapon?"

He is currently unable to improve his own strength, so he wants to see if he can help Duan Tian Dao improve.

After all, the current Heaven-Slaying Blade is too weak.

Even if he possesses the power of countless divine weapons, his strength is at most comparable to a martial artist in the Dharma Aspect Realm, far from being a match for a martial artist in the Longevity Realm.

Not to mention comparing yourself to him.

When Duan Tian Dao heard that Su Chen had finally thought of improving his realm, he replied with satisfaction: "It's very simple for top-tier divine weapons to break through to the Dharma Aspect Divine Weapon realm. Just like you martial artists, you condense a divine weapon Dharma Aspect. But I don't know the specifics of how to condense it. You can tell me your experience, and I'll see if I can learn from it."

Su Chen: "..."

Su Chen himself didn't know what experience he had. He was able to cultivate to the Dharma Aspect Realm entirely because of the panel.

"Forget it, let Zhu Yan share his experience with you later."

Shaking his head, Su Chen said this.

What kind of experience should be imparted?

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yan stopped his practice and walked away, looking at the man and the knife with a puzzled expression.

"Your experience in breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm," Su Chen replied.

"Huh?" Zhu Yan was taken aback. "What experience could I possibly have? Your experience is far more valuable than mine, isn't it, my benefactor?"

Su Chen is already a martial artist at the Longevity Realm, so his understanding of the Dharma Aspect Realm must be much deeper than his.

What's the point of looking for Su Chen if we don't go to him?

“My experience is useless to you,” Su Chen said, shaking his head.

"Why?" Zhu Yan asked, puzzled.

"Because my breakthroughs in cultivation were all natural and spontaneous, there was no experience to speak of."

Zhu Yan and Duan Tian Dao: "..."

The man and his sword exchanged a silent glance, then looked away from Su Chen.

Zhu Yan obediently recounted his experience of breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm to Duan Tiandao, while Su Chen listened quietly from the side.

After listening to Zhu Yan's explanation, Duan Tiandao couldn't help but sigh, "This is too difficult!"

It's really asking too much of a knife to understand all sorts of profound principles.

Su Chen chuckled lightly: "If there's really no other way, then just force a breakthrough."

"It's not that there's no way."

Su Chen was just joking, but Duan Tian Dao started to think.

After thinking for a moment, he actually came up with a solution.

"any solution?"

"If I can personally experience the power of the Dharma Form, I might be able to break through."

As Duan Tiandao spoke, he looked at Su Chen.

He knew that Su Chen's Dharma form was extremely special.

It can simulate any form of Dharma and possesses ever-changing power.

Presumably, it can also be transformed into a divine weapon or Dharma image for him to see and inspire.

After listening for a moment, Su Chen also thought it was a good idea.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, it all depends on whether you have the aptitude for it."

In the following days, Su Chen and Zhu Yan rushed back to the Ziyang Sect while demonstrating the power of the Dharma Form to the Broken Sky Blade.

Duan Tian Dao has good comprehension. Having refined many martial arts essences, he can clearly sense the mysteries of various Dharma forms.

Unfortunately, no matter what Dharma form Su Chen transformed into, the Heaven-Severing Blade failed to break through.

According to him, he felt that there was only a membrane separating him from the Dharma form, and as long as he could break through this membrane, he could transform into the Dharma form and gain supernatural powers.

Su Chen knew that he had encountered a bottleneck.

Originally, he planned to give up on the "One Person, One Sword" method and let things take their course, hoping that the right opportunity would come for him to break through.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan told them they could try the Supernatural Fruit.

The reason why martial artists can comprehend supernatural powers when they consume the Supernatural Power Fruit is essentially because they enter a mysterious state.

In this state, a person's comprehension will be enhanced, which is why they can quickly comprehend supernatural powers.

If humans can do this, then divine weapons should be able to do the same.

Upon learning this, Duan Tian Dao wanted to give it a try, but Su Chen refused.

"No, there's only one Divine Power Fruit left. You should keep it for yourself. As for the Heaven-Severing Blade, I'll figure out a solution after I go to the royal family."

Before Duan Tian Dao could speak, Zhu Yan began to persuade Su Chen.

Finally, having no other choice, Su Chen had to agree. He gave the last Divine Power Fruit to Duan Tian Dao, and the two quietly awaited the outcome.

"Don't let your mind wander. Focus on recalling the Dharma image I demonstrated for you earlier."

Su Chen was overjoyed to see the faint outline of a Dharma image on the surface of the Heaven-Severing Blade, and quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing Su Chen's voice, the Heaven-Slaying Blade trembled, and its scattered consciousness instantly gathered.

"Oh no, my benefactor! The Dharma form condensed by the Heaven-Severing Blade seems to be collapsing. What's going on?"

Zhu Yan was quite nervous standing to the side, and when he saw the state of the Broken Sky Blade, he couldn't help but show a worried expression.

“Duan Tian Dao has great ambitions. He also wants to condense an extraordinary Dharma form, so he has been hesitant to make a decision. Let’s see what kind of Dharma form he wants to condense.” Su Chen saw through Duan Tian Dao’s thoughts at a glance.

"I see," Zhu Yan said, suddenly understanding.

Before long, the aura of the Heaven-Slaying Blade became increasingly heavy, and a dark cloud shrouded the sky above it.

Beneath the dark clouds, an enormous sword stood upright in the sky, its entire body golden, as if cast from gold.

Amidst the flowing golden light, a terrifying aura permeated the air, resembling a towering mountain peak from afar.

"What an imposing Dharma image!"

Looking at the sword-shaped Dharma image of the Heaven-Severing Blade, Zhu Yan couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of Dharma form has transcended ordinary Dharma forms and belongs to special Dharma forms.

"Hmm? Its power is still increasing? This is... the Heaven-Slaying Blade is undergoing a transformation!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yan was startled and noticed the change in the Heaven-Severing Blade. It seemed that he was not satisfied with reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm and wanted to break through to the Longevity Realm.

Once you reach the Dharma Aspect Realm, the realm of a divine weapon is no different from that of a martial artist.

After the Dharma Aspect Realm comes the Longevity Realm.

The Longevity Realm of divine weapons, after its transformation, does not increase lifespan, but rather spirituality.

Spirituality is the connecting link between divine weapons and their spirits.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between a divine weapon and its spirit is equivalent to that between the physical body and the primordial spirit.

The divine weapon is the physical body, while its spirit is the primordial spirit.

For martial artists, the Longevity Realm is the fusion of the Dharma Body into the Primordial Spirit, and the Primordial Spirit into the Physical Body.

The same applies to divine weapons.

The greater the affinity between the spirit of the divine weapon and the divine weapon, the more spiritual energy they possess, and the stronger their power becomes.

Furthermore, both the spirit of a divine weapon and the divine weapon itself have a longer lifespan.

"Mysterious power is not enough; it's just a little short of fusion. I'll lend you a hand!"

Seeing that the Heaven-Severing Blade could not successfully transform for a long time, Su Chen directly used the power of Hunyuan.

This is no ordinary primordial power, but a primordial power that combines the power of fire and the power of plants.

It possesses both the fierceness of flames and the gentleness of vegetation.

The moment the Heaven-Slaying Blade landed on him, he became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

The transformation, which had been stagnant, suddenly became rapid.

Before long, the Heaven-Severing Blade successfully transformed, leaping from a Dharma Aspect Divine Weapon to a Longevity Divine Weapon.

The price paid was also high, as it consumed a Supernatural Fruit.

"Hahaha, my Divine Weapon Xuanqi has been upgraded to the Longevity Divine Weapon!"

After breaking through, the Heaven-Slaying Blade became extremely excited, but its excitement didn't last long before it was suppressed by Su Chen.

"Su Chen, come here, I want to have a big fight with you!"

The Heaven-Slaying Blade remained completely unperturbed, eager to break free from Su Chen's grasp.

Finally, he was severely beaten by Su Chen, and only then did he calm down.

"Tell me, why were you able to break through after consuming the Divine Power Fruit?" Su Chen asked curiously.

Duan Tiandao obediently replied, "I don't know either. After taking it, I seemed to enter some kind of mysterious state."

Here, I understood the principles of Dharma Form and broke through it very easily.

When I broke through the Dharma form, I entered another mysterious state.

And here, I learned my future path and how to break through to the Realm of Longevity.

However, before I could even exit, the two states merged together, and I inexplicably broke through to the Longevity Realm.

Originally, I was just one step away from the true Longevity Realm, but then you intervened, and I broke through naturally.

After hearing Duan Tiandao's explanation, Su Chen and Zhu Yan immediately understood the reason.

It was the chain reaction between the Divine Fruit and the Life Limit state that allowed him to break through again when the Heaven-Severing Blade itself had a profound foundation. After breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, he was only one step away from the Myriad Life Realm. Therefore, when the two states were combined, he was able to break through again.

“My benefactor, we’re almost at the Ziyang Sect, so I won’t be traveling with you.”

The breakthrough of the Heaven-Slaying Blade delayed their journey by a few days, but they still quickly arrived at the territory of the Ziyang Sect.

Zhu Yan did not intend to go to the Ziyang Sect with Su Chen, but instead planned to return to the Great Qian Dynasty.

Su Chen knew what he was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he took the Broken Sky Blade and headed towards the Ziyang Sect.

Upon returning to the sect, Su Chen went straight to the Crimson Sun Hall and found Vice Sect Master Yang Jiu.

"You're back? Hmm, judging from your appearance, your strength seems to have improved again."

Yang Jiu appeared as soon as he sensed Su Chen's strength. Even though Su Chen had completely concealed his aura, he still had some idea of ​​what was going on.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Yes, the Longevity Realm is at its peak."

"Huh!" Yang Jiu was taken aback.

Surprised and delighted.

It was truly unexpected that Su Chen had only just broken through to the Longevity Realm, and in less than a month, he had already reached perfection.

He no longer knew what words to use to describe his cultivation speed.

"If the sects on the front lines knew about such a prodigy as you, they would be overjoyed."

After a moment of surprise, Yang Jiu couldn't help but smile.

"You came to see me because you're planning to register with the royal family, right?"

"Okay!" Su Chen nodded.

“I’ve already informed Elder Wang, and he’ll take you to the royal palace. I was originally thinking of having him look after you more, but now it seems you should be looking after him more.” Yang Jiu rarely joked.

"Thank you for your trouble, Vice Sect Master," Su Chen said.

A short while later, an elderly man in his sixties walked in.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Master." He cupped his hands in greeting to Yang Jiu, then looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen was also sizing up the other party. He could tell at a glance that the other party's strength was at the Great Perfection of the Longevity Realm.

No wonder Yang Jiu made Su Chen take care of the other party instead; his strength was indeed much weaker than Su Chen's current level.

Elder Wang was unaware of the conversation between Yang Jiu and Su Chen; he only knew that the more he looked at Su Chen, the more alarmed he became.

At first glance, it felt like looking at a fog, then a mountain, and then a dazzling light.

Not only can you not see through it, but looking at it for too long will also affect your Daoist heart.

After watching for a while, Elder Wang dared not look any longer.

"Elder Wang, you know about the matter. Why don't you take Su Chen to the royal family for registration?"

Yang Jiu simply gave a brief instruction. Usually, Elder Wang would lead the way, so he naturally knew how to handle it.

Elder Wang nodded: "Yes!"

He looked at Su Chen, his attitude unchanged: "Young friend Su, when do you plan to go to the palace?"

"Let's go now."

Su Chen didn't want to waste time, but then added, "Elder Wang can go later if he wants."

"Then let's do as young friend Su says." Elder Wang had no objections.

The two, one after the other, disappeared into the sky and soared towards the palace. (End of Chapter)
