Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Sword Saint Technique - No Thoughts!
Chen Jie didn't say anything, but instead slashed horizontally with his sword.

He took a step forward, and the dragon's might manifested, achieving perfect harmony!

The sword in his hand actually emitted a dragon's roar.

next moment,
The sword dao dharma image condensed into a giant dragon and soared into the sky!

The innate qi of the Vajra Indestructible Body circulates throughout the body, mixing with the power of the sword dao dharma form.

At this moment, the image of the dragon became even clearer.

The sword intent was hazy, a mixture of clarity and turbidity, like chaos!

On that day, the greatest swordsman of the Orient, Miyamoto Musashi, unleashed a strike that created a chaotic barrier of energy around him, killing enemies from a hundred miles away.

The sword intent that Chen Jie is now unleashing is the same, its sharpness fully revealed.

but,

His martial arts realm did not break through to the level of "Martial Saint," nor did his spirit refinement realm break through to the level of "Sitting in Oblivion."

At this moment, the sword dao dharma form he unleashed was also known as the starry sky chaos manifestation of the [Martial Saint Sect]!

The ultimate goal of the Blood Dragon Jade Martial Saint Sect in his mind was to communicate with the Martial Saint's inheritance Dharma form in the chaos of the starry sky.

Even with Chen Jie's current martial arts level and the Refining Spirit realm, he still needs to consume Martial Merit Points to activate the resonance of the Martial Saint Sect.

but,

He is now able to borrow the chaotic power of the [Saint] during his cultivation.

When one fully unleashes the Sword Saint's skill, burning their life essence, a chaotic scene of starry sky will manifest.

This chaotic power is the power of the Martial Saint's inheritance within the [Martial Saint Sect].

It can shatter heaven and earth and everything in it, and rise above the rules of this world.

Once it erupts, its momentum is overwhelming and unstoppable.

Waaaaah—waaaah—!
The chaotic power of the starry sky surrounding Chen Jie swept down.

It was as if a god of death stood in mid-air.

With a single, thoughtless sword, one can slay gods and destroy Buddhas!

Li Aoshuang's expression became extremely solemn.

Behind her, an enormous sword phantom also appeared, shouting:

"Watch out! The Undying Clouds - Flying Moon Slash!"

boom!
A powerful stream of innate qi circulated.

Then,

Each sword strike cleaved the air, producing a whooshing roar.

It was as if the full moon descended from the sky, gods and demons bowed to the earth, and heaven and earth were united.

Within a radius of several meters, everyone was bound by this "Flying Moon Slash" move, and a terrifying pressure descended upon Chen Jie.

at this time,

Li Aoshuang held nothing back and went all out.

but,

Chen Jie's swordsmanship is more powerful and faster.

Thrust, chop, point, flick, hook, snap, slice, sweep—countless sword techniques were unleashed.

One sword strike after another, relentlessly.

Each sword strike contained the power of the chaotic starry sky, tearing apart the surrounding sword domain.

Clang, clang, clang—!
Another fierce clash ensued, and Li Aoshuang was once again forced back five or six steps by Chen Jie's sword strike.

at this time,

Chen Jie did not stop there, but launched a strong offensive, pressing forward step by step.

His sword domain erupted, like a leech clinging to a bone, fierce, domineering, and powerful.

"The sword path is boundless, sealing heaven and earth, the great waves recede, and lawlessness reigns!"

Chen Jie seized the initiative and unleashed his most domineering combo attack in the blink of an eye.

One move, Wuji, surpasses the speed limit; one move, Fengtian, covers the sword domain; one move, Xilang, is continuous; one move, Wutian, annihilates heaven and earth!

The four swords combined into one, like a giant dragon dancing wildly, tearing through the void!

Sword Saint Technique - No Regrets!
this moment,
Chen Jie's momentum reached its peak, and his life potential burned fiercely.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Li Aoshuang was taken aback, feeling a chill run down her spine.

but,

As the current 'Master of the Shocking Cloud Sword', she was naturally unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

"A sword that pierces heaven and earth, startling the clouds and setting sun!"

The most powerful sword saint technique in the Jingyun Swordplay was unleashed, giving the impression of a sunset.

Chen Jie's attack continued without pause.

No regrets after a single sword strike!
Once this sword strike is unleashed, there is no possibility of retreating.

After unleashing his self-created Sword Saint Technique, he demonstrated the power of the 'Dao Realm'.

His mind was clear, his attention was highly focused, and he entered a meditative state, where his soul and spirit were one.

Clang!
In an instant, the Wuji Sword in his hand transformed into a beam of sword light.

It was as if it had transformed into an enraged dragon, instantly tearing apart Li Aoshuang's sword domain protection and directly imprisoning her body.

Swish-!
The next moment, Chen Jie's sword was pressed against Li Aoshuang's throat.

"call--!"

Li Aoshuang let out a long sigh and said helplessly:

"This sword technique is too fast; it actually unleashed the power of a peak sword saint!"

"Impressive! I lost—this time I admit defeat wholeheartedly, your combat strength is superior to mine."

boom!
Chen Jie sheathed the Wuji Sword in his hand, and the sword dao dharma image condensed within him.

He didn't say much after that, but sat cross-legged to recover the life potential he had just used up.

His blood and energy surged, and the life potential he had absorbed and stored in his cells was now being released continuously.

have to say,

The battle with Li Aoshuang just now was a clash of titans; neither of us showed any killing intent, it was merely a friendly exchange.

but,

Chen Jie's energy expenditure was not low.

A few minutes later, as he unleashed his life potential, he quickly recovered and his momentum reached its peak once again.

boom!
Innate vital energy moves at will, manifesting the form of martial arts.

For a while,
Birds and beasts reappeared around him, and even mountains, boulders, rivers, and forests materialized!
The manifestation of the chaotic starry sky took its most important step at this moment.

"The yin and yang transform! After a fresh rain in the empty mountains, the weather turns autumnal in the evening!"

Chen Jie released his innate qi, which condensed into a powerful aura.

at this time,

A terrifying power was released, and an illusory scene appeared around them.

It's as if you're surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a full moon in the sky and lush green forests all around.

The waterfall cascades down from the mountaintop, filling the air with mist.

In the pool, some fish swam happily, creating gentle ripples.

Then,

A mountain breeze swept by, rustling the branches.

This scene was so dreamlike and surreal, it felt so real, giving people an indescribable sense of illusion.

Just then, Li Lingyue, who had walked in from outside the training ground, saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise:

"How beautiful! Master, what's going on?"

After Li Lingyue entered the training ground, she found that the entire training ground had transformed into a completely new world.

A full moon, waterfall, forest, and pool appeared all around, like a beautiful painting.

She felt a sense of exhilaration, and being there, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

Next,
She couldn't resist taking off her shoes and walking onto the sandy edge of the pool. Sure enough, the water was icy cold, emanating a slight chill.

The mist from the waterfall splashed onto her, leaving her feeling wet.

She was stunned. Looking at the koi in the pond, she couldn't help but reach out to grab it.

Although she was pregnant, her pregnancy was only just beginning to show, and it did not affect her mobility.

When she saw the koi swim past her hand, her eyes widened in surprise.

"No way? How can there be a pool of water? Is all of this real, or an illusion?"

She couldn't resist putting her hand into the pool and discovering that the cool sensation felt so real.

"Husband, how did a waterfall appear?"

She quickly asked Chen Jie, her mind reeling with shock.

Isn't this the training ground of Prince Qian's mansion?

"This isn't real, it's an illusion! It's all a manifestation of my martial arts dharma!"

Chen Jie explained with a smile, "Everything around me is a means that I have come to understand through my comprehension of Yin and Yang transformations, a means that can influence a person's spirit and willpower."

boom!
As he finished his practice, the surrounding pool, waterfall, full moon, and even the koi in the pool turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace.

All of this was originally a manifestation of Chen Jie's martial arts Dharma.

"You truly deserve to be called a genius! You actually grasped the Yin-Yang Transformation so quickly and cultivated it to this level!"

"Although my martial arts level is higher than yours, I am unable to condense the martial arts Dharma Image to such a level."

Li Aoshuang exclaimed in amazement when she saw the illusory form that Chen Jie had just condensed, which looked as real as if it were there.

"Unfortunately, I still haven't sensed the opportunity to break through my martial arts realm, and I'm unable to reach the mid-stage of the Divine Indestructible realm."

Chen Jie sighed and said, "With my current combat strength, it will be very difficult to defeat Miyamoto Musashi!"

"Of course, it won't be that easy for him to kill me."

"It seems that I underestimated Miyamoto Musashi when I challenged him, and overestimated my own strength."

During this period, he has thoroughly comprehended the Dragon Claw Hand, the Limitless Sword Technique, the Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training, and the three major martial arts techniques.

Because of the martial arts memories he inherited, he was able to understand all sorts of difficult questions, and his combat power improved by leaps and bounds.

of course,

Most importantly, he absorbed a large amount of life essence, constantly consolidating his martial arts realm and perfectly compensating for the drawbacks of breaking through martial arts realms too quickly.

Therefore,
Although he made breakthroughs very quickly, his foundation was very solid.

After all, burning one's life potential, constantly honing martial arts skills, and comprehending the martial arts inheritance in one's mind, the self-created Sword Saint Technique is no small matter.

In this process, he comprehended the Sword Saint's 'Sword Saint Techniques' one by one and created a total of five Sword Saint Techniques.

Once you break through to the late-stage Great Perfection of the Divine Indestructible realm, you will be invincible and unrivaled in the world.

Although the realm of spiritual refinement remains at the 'static observation' stage, there has been no breakthrough.

but,

His understanding and cultivation of spiritual awareness made him a grandmaster, laying the most solid foundation for his later breakthrough to the 'sitting in oblivion' realm.

With the martial arts inheritance of the Blood Dragon Jade in his mind, Chen Jie was truly blessed with exceptional talent in cultivation.

Even Li Aoshuang, the top expert in the Imperial Palace, could not have received the inheritance of so many 'Saint-level' martial artists like him.

Although Li Aoshuang's combat strength was not as good as his, her understanding of martial arts was much richer than Chen Jie's.

Therefore,
Chen Jie gained a lot from his martial arts sparring with Li Aoshuang.

Many things that I used to find obscure and difficult to understand suddenly became clear after sparring with Li Aoshuang.

"Miyamoto Musashi is indeed terrifying. He is a once-in-a-century genius who has obtained the most orthodox sword saint lineage of the Eastern Empire, so he is naturally extremely powerful!"

"However, you possess the Vajra Indestructible Body and have cultivated your swordsmanship to such a terrifying level. As long as you can break through to the [Quasi-Saint] realm, I believe you will not be weaker than Miyamoto Musashi."

"Unfortunately, you only have twenty days before your final battle against Miyamoto Musashi."

"With your current level of martial arts, it will be difficult for you to unleash the full power of swordsmanship."

Li Aoshuang sighed.

Chen Jie was only at the initial stage of the "Undying God" realm. Although he had comprehended the "Yin-Yang Transformation", his martial arts level was always his weakness.

"Time is running out, what should we do? We only have twenty days, how can my husband raise his martial arts level to the [Quasi-Saint] realm?"

"By the way, Master, the Ancient Tomb of the Great Ancestor is about to open. If we need to use the essence blood of the ancient clan—!"

Li Lingyue, who was standing next to Chen Jie, glanced at Chen Jie and then turned to Li Aoshuang and said.

In terms of blood relations, Li Aoshuang is her own aunt.

However, she had been practicing martial arts with Li Aoshuang since she was a child and had always called her master.

"The blood essence of the ancient clan contains rich life essence. If one can absorb its life essence, it can indeed allow a martial artist to break through his realm."

"Unfortunately, the tomb of the founding emperor is full of traps and mechanisms, making it extremely difficult to enter."

Like Li Lingyue, Li Aoshuang was a member of the royal family and naturally knew about the affairs of the ancient clans.

"Before my father passed away, he told me about our royal family's heritage. I do have a bottle of 'ancient clan blood essence'!"

Li Lingyue lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then made up her mind to speak.

For a moment, Li Aoshuang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"The late Emperor's dying words, the ancient clan's bloodline reappears, and the world is in chaos!"

"The world-destroying war waged by the founding emperor laid the foundation for the Great Qian Dynasty and interrupted the path to becoming a Martial Saint!"

"Many saints perished at that time, severing the lineage of martial arts."

"Emperor Taizu also perished in that battle, perishing together with the ancient tribe."

"Most of the ancient clan's essence blood was taken into the ancestral tomb, and the royal family only left three bottles."

"The bottle in your hand should be the last one. The other ancient clan blood essence can only be found in the ancient tomb of the Great Ancestor."

Li Lingyue took out the 'Ancient Clan Essence Blood' from her body, looked at Chen Jie with deep affection, and said:
"The ancient clan's essence blood has appeared in the world, causing turmoil in heaven and earth, but if my husband wants to defeat Miyamoto Musashi, this may be his only chance."

Chen Jie frowned slightly as he looked at the bottle of 'Ancient Clan Essence Blood' in Li Lingyue's hand and said:
"Unfortunately, I cannot sense the life essence of the ancient blood in your hands, nor can I absorb its power."

"How come this essence of blood contains a completely different life essence than that of deep-sea whales?"

Chen Jie sensed it carefully, then shook his head helplessly and said:
"I wonder what exactly the origins of the 'Ancient Clan Essence Blood' are?"

Li Aoshuang explained:

"The ancient races were actually wiped out a long time ago."

"However, by sheer chance, the founding emperor triggered the barrier between heaven and earth, reviving the bloodline of the ancient race."

"They are the most terrifying race in the world, capable of absorbing the power of heaven and earth to temper themselves, and able to transform the power of the world's rules into their own."

"The profound meaning of the ancient clan's blood essence contains a life essence that is completely different from that of ordinary deep-sea creatures. It is the essence of this world and can enable people's martial arts level to advance by leaps and bounds."

"The ancient race, also known as the holy race!"

"Legend has it that there is a [Martial Saint Gate] in the ancient tomb of the founding emperor. As long as you can open the [Martial Saint Gate], you can enter the void barrier and enter the ancient clan's inheritance ground!"

Om-!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie's mind went blank.

The Martial Saint Gate is the place where the ancient clans passed on their martial arts. Once opened, it allows entry into the void barrier!
hiss--!
At that moment, Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The Blood Dragon Jade in his mind contained the [Martial Saint Sect].

Could it be that the starry sky we enter after activating the [Martial Saint Gate] is actually a void barrier?

The countless statues in the starry sky are the place where the ancient tribes passed down their heritage!

"Absorbing the bloodline of an ancient clan is not so simple!"

Li Aoshuang pondered for a moment and said, "You can try it and see if you can absorb the life essence of the ancient clan's blood!"

Chen Jie nodded, understanding Li Aoshuang's meaning.

boom--!
He activated the "Star Absorbing Technique" of the Vajra Skill to take the ancient clan's essence blood from Li Lingyue's hand.

then,

He channeled his energy to absorb the essence, allowing his consciousness to enter the ancient clan's blood.

Suddenly,

A scorching heat emanated from the surroundings, like a raging fire.

The temperature rose sharply at that moment.

Chen Jie suddenly felt a massive amount of life essence continuously flowing into his dantian and merging into his body.

His body was like a sponge, constantly absorbing.

Under the influence of the Vajra Skill, his Qi Sea expanded rapidly once again! (End of Chapter)
