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

The rapid loss of the power of the laws made it impossible for Bi Tianyu to remain calm, as this was his reliance for fighting beyond his level.

Not to mention, the culprit that caused his power of law to disappear was Su Chen, who was fighting him at the time.

Although he didn't know what method Su Chen had used, he could vaguely sense that if Su Chen were to completely absorb his power of law, the other party would definitely gain tremendous benefits, which he could not allow.

Therefore, upon realizing that Su Chen was absorbing his power of law, he disregarded their agreement to exchange one move and tried to reclaim his power of law.

"Hmm? You stopped? Did you get my permission?"

Just as Bi Tianyu had expected, Su Chen was happily absorbing the power of the laws to wash his hands.

He gained more benefits than the other party had imagined.

It's not just about compensating for the damage caused by the power of its own laws, but also about the changes in the panel.

Even he hadn't expected that absorbing the other party's power of law would actually accelerate the progress of the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt technique.

This made him suspect that the power of law used by Bi Tianyu was very likely from the crystal of law.

Crystal of Laws!

He asked Ji Ziyang, but Ji Ziyang didn't know where this thing was. He never expected to find it on Bi Tianyu.

And the other party even came to us of their own accord!

How could he possibly give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Therefore, he would never agree to Bi Tianyu's withdrawal; on the contrary, he would stop him.

The fierce battle suddenly turned into a tug-of-war, a strange change that only Su Chen and Bi Tianyu noticed. Although he didn't know why the two were doing this, he firmly stood on Su Chen's side and stopped Bi Tianyu for him.

In a mere battle, the Heaven-Severing Blade wouldn't have much of an impact on Bi Tianyu, but this kind of restraint infuriated him.

Because of the restraint from the two, the difficulty for him to reclaim the power of the law increased several levels.

"Damn it, what is that mysterious stone doing? It's actually actively channeling the power of laws!"

As if things weren't going to go wrong, something even worse happened: Bi Tianyu suddenly discovered the changes in the mysterious stone.

I was instantly speechless with anger!

He went to great lengths to try and harness the power of the laws within the stone, but the other party did everything in its power to stop him.

They couldn't stop it, and they just skimped on things and dealt with it casually.

He no longer intends to use it, and even wants to return it to the other party, originally hoping that they would help him reclaim the power of the law.

Unexpectedly, this guy not only didn't do that, but instead actively increased the transmission of the power of the law, thus betraying himself.

Caught off guard, a massive amount of law power surged towards Su Chen like a tidal wave, making Su Chen overjoyed.

"Haha, Bi Tianyu definitely hasn't mastered this power yet, otherwise, why would he deliver it to his doorstep time and time again!"

Su Chen quickly realized the reason. He was not familiar with the Crystal of Laws, but judging from Bi Tianyu's behavior, the Crystal of Laws seemed to be able to control the power of laws on its own. Obviously, the other party was dissatisfied with Bi Tianyu, so he allowed him to absorb it.

Of course, it's also possible that it's not a crystal of laws, but some kind of rare and precious material.

After all, anyone who understands the Crystal of Laws can guess that it contains the power of laws, and there are many such wonders in the myriad worlds.

It is normal for one or two to contain the power of laws, and it is not surprising that the power of laws contained in them is the same as that in the crystal of laws.

But regardless of the type, it served as a reminder to Su Chen.

That means Bi Tianyu must possess a Law Crystal.

Even if he didn't have it, he could still find out about the Crystal of Law from the other party.

After all, the improvement to the panel is real and undeniable.

In just about ten breaths, his progress bar increased by 1%, and if it continues, it will keep increasing.

If he could absorb it all, Su Chen guessed he could reach one-tenth of the progress.

Therefore, he increased his efforts, wanting to absorb it as soon as possible, but Bi Tianyu had already realized what was happening.

They tried every means to stop Su Chen.

The tug-of-war between the two finally caught the attention of Ji Ziyang and his group, who discovered that the fight between the two sides had become strange.

"What happened? Why is Tianyu withdrawing his power, while Su Chen is preventing him from doing so?"

Yuan Sifang and the other two exchanged glances and all noticed the strangeness of the two. They communicated with each other but could not figure out what was going on.

Ji Ziyang and Gu Xiaoyao also witnessed the changes on the battlefield.

The former transmitted his voice to the latter: "Brother Gu, do you know what those two are doing?"

Gu Xiaoyao nodded. He vaguely guessed Su Chen's thoughts, but did not tell him.

He was puzzled: "Is Su Chen planning to absorb all the power of law on Bi Tianyu? But isn't he afraid that Bi Tianyu will resort to desperate measures? Besides, it seems that Bi Tianyu's power of law wasn't cultivated by himself."

After a pause, he told Ji Ziyang his guess.

After hearing this, Ji Ziyang nodded and said, "That's right, Bi Tianyu's power of law is not his own, and this power does not belong to the Ten Directions World."

He didn't know that the power of law Su Chen was using wasn't his own either, and thought that Su Chen had cultivated it on his own.

This comparison only deepened my astonishment.

They came from behind and surpassed everyone else!

This is true overtaking.

Although he hadn't cultivated for as long as Bi Tianyu, his cultivation speed far surpassed Bi Tianyu's.

Now he's far ahead of Bi Tianyu!

He was ultimately dissatisfied with Bi Tianyu's behavior. Although the other party appeared to be a disciple of the Ziyang Sect, he had long harbored the idea of ​​establishing his own sect.

This is also the main reason why he has been reluctant to hand over the position of sect leader of the Ziyang Sect to the other party.

After all, this secret of the Ziyang Sect involves...

Now that Su Chen has returned and is superior to Bi Tianyu in every aspect, he thinks he can consider Su Chen.

Let Su Chen serve as the sect leader of the Ziyang Sect.

However, we'll have to wait until after the battle to discuss this further.

Bang!
Just then, their tug-of-war finally broke down. With a loud bang, their figures disappeared in a blinding flash of light.

Not long after, Su Chen was seen flying out in a slightly disheveled state, but he quickly regained his footing.

Meanwhile, Bi Tianyu was relatively more elegant.

But both of them had strange expressions.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that Su Chen had been defeated in this battle, yet he appeared quite relaxed.

There was even a hint of...excitement in this relaxed feeling.

Why are you so agitated after failing?
Everyone is puzzled.

On the other hand, Bi Tianyu, despite having already won, had an extremely unpleasant expression.

He remained silent, his eyes filled with gloom.

"Tianyu, congratulations on your victory!"

Upon seeing Bi Tianyu win, Yuan Sifang laughed and flashed over.

Bi Tianyu didn't speak, but stared intently at Su Chen.

Su Chen grinned.

"This was a huge windfall! It boosted our progress by ten percent. It's a pity that if Bi Tianyu had stopped a little later, I could have gained even more."

Su Chen thought to himself that it was a pity.

He had just noticed that the other party was sending out more and more power of law, but unfortunately, it was intercepted by Bi Tianyu.

Moreover, seeing the increasing amount of power of law emanating from the mysterious stone, Bi Tianyu could no longer sit still.

So he unleashed a fierce attack, directly using the power of those laws to transform into a sharp strike towards Su Chen.

Su Chen accepted all comers.

However, this forced him to abandon the subsequent absorption of the power of the laws. Su Chen didn't want to give up, but he also knew that if he continued like this, he might not be able to absorb much more power of the laws.

Bi Tianyu will definitely try his best to stop him.

So they had no choice but to go all out and absorb the vast power of the laws before them.

However, during the absorption process, Su Chen was caught in the attack of Bi Tianyu and was defeated.

He was not actually injured.

Having gained such great benefits, Su Chen no longer cared about this small defeat.

"Tianyu, now that Su Chen has already withstood one of your moves, shouldn't we stop here for today?"

Gu Xiaoyao stepped forward to check Su Chen's injuries, while Ji Ziyang came to Bi Tianyu and the others and said.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Tianyu snorted lightly, then glanced coldly at Su Chen, and left abruptly without answering Ji Ziyang.

Ji Ziyang's face twitched slightly, and then he looked at Yuan Sifang and the other two.

The latter responded coldly, turned and left without saying a word.

Since Bi Tianyu doesn't intend to pursue the matter any further, they have no reason to stay.

"Su Chen, are you okay?"

Ji Ziyang looked at Su Chen and asked with concern.

Su Chen shook his head. He was just a little out of breath, but his body was fine.

"Then let's go back first."

The fight between the two had attracted too much attention, and staying there would only cause controversy. Ji Ziyang planned to let others handle the matter.

This is a perfect opportunity to completely eradicate the Yuan Gang, this scourge.

Presumably, even if Bi Tianyu finds out about this, he won't say much.

Thinking this, Ji Ziyang led Su Chen and Gu Xiaoyao back to the Ziyang Sect, while the spectators who witnessed the battle between the two began to discuss the incident in the city.

Although Su Chen was defeated in the battle between him and Bi Tianyu, it was obvious to everyone that Su Chen was the one who lost.

Bi Tianyu's victory over Su Chen this time was more of a narrow one than an absolute crushing victory.

Given Su Chen's growth rate, it probably won't be long before even Bi Tianyu is helpless against him.

Some martial artists who were optimistic about Su Chen even believed that Su Chen would definitely be able to defeat Bi Tianyu in the future and become a strong person in the Martial Immortal realm.

Of course, these discussions have nothing to do with Su Chen for the time being.

……

Within the Ziyang Sect.

"You want to upgrade a divine weapon to a celestial weapon?"

Upon returning to the sect, Ji Ziyang was surprised to learn that Su Chen wanted to upgrade the grade of the Heaven-Slaying Blade before he could even express his own thoughts.

It's not impossible for a divine weapon to be upgraded to a celestial weapon, but at least in the Ten Directions World, no one has ever been able to do it.

To put it bluntly, there isn't a single immortal weapon in the entire Ten Directions World.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen now wants to upgrade the Heaven-Slaying Blade to a Celestial Weapon.

“That’s right.” Su Chen nodded solemnly. Since his strength could not be improved for the time being, he could only start with the Heaven-Severing Blade.

After all, the Crystal of Laws is in Bi Tianyu's hands, and the other party may not be willing to lend it to him.

With sufficient strength, the power to speak is in one's own hands.

Even if Bi Tianyu doesn't lend it, he has other ways to obtain the Law Crystal and its information.

However, there was no need to say this to Ji Ziyang.

After all, from Ji Ziyang's perspective, he didn't want the two to become enemies.

Ji Ziyang did not speak, but instead appeared deep in thought, pondering the matter.

After a long while, he spoke: "There have been very few examples of divine weapons wanting to be upgraded to immortal weapons since ancient times, especially now that the Ten Directions World has been sealed off by the Heavenly Demon."

Moreover, the difficulty of upgrading a divine weapon to a celestial weapon is very high, and success is rare.

I understand your desire to upgrade your weapon to a divine weapon, but if you fail, the divine weapon will become nothing but scrap metal.

You need to think carefully about the consequences!

Upgrading from an ordinary weapon to a divine weapon is a complicated process, difficult to advance, and time-consuming, naturally consuming a lot of the user's effort.

However, advancing from a divine weapon to a celestial weapon is a path of no return.

If the attempt fails, the divine weapon will vanish into thin air and become ordinary iron, almost completely wasting all previous efforts.

He didn't want Su Chen to make this decision if he wasn't prepared.

Without a divine weapon, the loss of strength is minor, but it may even affect one's cultivation. Considering all these factors, it is not worth it at all.

Su Chen understood what Ji Ziyang meant, but he remained firm in his own opinion.

After hearing this, Ji Ziyang sighed softly, "Since that's the case, I do know a way."

"What method?" Su Chen's eyes lit up.

"The most important thing to upgrade a divine weapon is to make it comprehend the laws and achieve a state of unity with heaven and earth, so that it can be promoted to a celestial weapon."

For a divine weapon to reach this state, it needs to be placed in a special place of ghosts and spirits.

Essentially, the attributes of divine weapons are more inclined towards the Yin aspect of the Yin-Yang principle, which is different from the cultivation of human martial artists.

We advocate the cultivation of both Yin and Yang.

Divine weapons, however, emphasize the former. Therefore, for a divine weapon to advance, it needs to be placed in a place of extreme Yin, comprehend the Dao of Extreme Yin, and achieve a state of Yin-Yang unity, from which Yang arises. Only then can it comprehend the laws of immortal weapons and undergo transformation.

"The Way of Yin and Yang is the unity of Heaven and Earth!"

Su Chen and Gu Xiaoyao exchanged a glance. It was the first time they had ever heard of this, but they quickly realized what it meant.

"An extremely Yin place? Are there such places in the Ten Directions World?" Su Chen asked.

His biggest worry is that there is no such place in the Ten Directions World.

If it weren't for that, wouldn't it be impossible to do it at all?
After all, they don't currently have a way to travel to other worlds.

Moreover, and most importantly, they didn't know which world contained extremely yin places.

Ji Ziyang understood Su Chen's concerns and nodded: "Yes, the Ten Directions World does not have it, but..."

He suddenly changed the subject.

"but what?"

“But the Ziyang Sect has it, and I also know how to get there.”

"what?"

Both Su Chen and Gu Xiaoyao were taken aback.

The two looked at each other.

The Ten Directions World doesn't have it, but the Ziyang Sect does?
"Do you still remember the Land of Ghosts?"

Ji Ziyang spoke softly, offering a reminder.

"The Land of the Dead?"

Su Chen then remembered that when he first joined the Ziyang Sect, he was required to undergo a trial in the Yin Soul Land.

Hearing Ji Ziyang's words, he couldn't help but wonder, and quickly asked, "Could the Land of Yin Souls be the extremely Yin Land you mentioned?"

Ji Ziyang smiled upon hearing this: "That's right."

"But isn't that still in the Ten Directions World?" Su Chen asked, puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Ji Ziyang said, "This place of yin spirits is not the same as that place of yin spirits..." (End of this chapter)
