Xunuo had decided that this time upon returning, he would make some remarkable achievements. This was to ensure he had a greater say within the Wuhua Sect and could act with more convenience. The Deep Valley Adventure he had arranged would allow him to experience extraordinary changes. If it remained mundane, it would not be considered a fortuitous encounter.
Moments later, the Elder with Long Beard's expression changed. He withdrew his hand and asked, "Have you opened the Ren and Du Meridians?"
Ximen Tower and the others were overjoyed at this news. Everyone knew that opening the Ren and Du Meridians was fundamental to internal martial arts. However, no one had attempted to open these meridians first because doing so was exceedingly difficult.
Some individuals spent their entire lives without managing to open the Ren and Du Meridians. Although opening them would enhance one's Inner Strength, it did not provide substantial improvements in martial arts or swordsmanship. Therefore, practitioners of internal martial arts typically focused on opening some easier meridians or those that had practical effects on martial arts before eventually attempting to open the Ren and Du Meridians. The greatest benefit of opening these two meridians was that once they were opened, it became much easier to open other meridians.
From Ximen Tower's perspective, Xunuo had opened the Ren and Du Meridians before reaching adulthood. It was possible that he could eventually open all of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Meridians. Achieving this would mean he could lead the heroes of the martial world and unify it.
Xunuo replied, "Yes, when I fell into the deep valley, an old man who resembled a skeleton saved me with a miraculous pill. My injuries healed quickly, but the medicinal power remained in my body. This person used Inner Strength to help me refine the medicinal power, which directly opened my Ren and Du Meridians like fire. I spent over a year in the valley, and my swordsmanship has also improved tremendously; I believe this is related to opening the Ren and Du Meridians. Please, Master Tian, check my pulse to see if there are any aftereffects or issues."
The Elder with Long Beard laughed heartily. Pointing at Xunuo, he said, "You lad have great fortune; what you consumed was likely a celestial pill—only benefits with no drawbacks. It seems heaven has favored our Wuhua Sect by bringing forth such a great opportunity and auspicious person."
Xunuo hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Master Tian. As long as there are no drawbacks, that's good."
The Elder with Long Beard smiled again and said, "The one who taught you swordsmanship must be Elder Sage; do you know his name?"
Xunuo shook his head and replied, "This person only taught me martial arts but did not disclose his name. He has also gone out wandering from the valley; I fear I may not see him again."
Ximen Tower and the others exchanged glances filled with disbelief. However, they understood that if such an old monster did not wish to see you, there would be no benefit in seeking him out.
The Elder with Long Beard showed no surprise at this revelation. He sighed and said, "This is your fortune; others cannot covet it without merit. He could teach you One Sword, Five Flowers; I wonder what kind of swordsmanship this master possesses. Could you demonstrate it for us?"
Xunuo thought for a moment and replied, "I can only describe this senior's swordsmanship; I cannot replicate it. Please forgive me, Master Tian."
The Elder with Long Beard waved his hand dismissively and said, "No matter; just tell us about it."
Xunuo said, "I have only seen this senior demonstrate that astonishing sword technique once. I witnessed him slash with a single stroke, and in a flash of brilliance, a nearby cypress tree was cut into dozens of pieces."
Upon hearing this, several people present leaped up. Gao Weiji could not help but exclaim, "Sword Light Divergence!"
The Elder with Long Beard's eyes widened, and after a moment, he sighed. "Indeed, only a master of Sword Light Divergence could possibly teach you the One Sword, Five Flowers technique in such a short time."
Ximen Tower slumped back into his chair. "In the past hundred years, those who have seen the Sword Light Divergence technique are few and far between; such swordsmanship has become legendary."
The crowd sighed once more. They then briefed Xunuo on the recent happenings in the martial world before departing with their own thoughts.
Xunuo described to Ximen Tower and the others the phenomenon he had exhibited using the One Flower technique combined with the Seven Star Soul Locking Sword's seven styles. He wanted these elders to confirm just how advanced this sword technique was. However, upon hearing their exclamations about Sword Light Divergence, Xunuo felt a surge of joy but quickly dismissed that notion.
The legendary Sword Light Divergence was said to unleash a dazzling display of sword light that astonished even gods and spirits. His own method might have glimpsed this path, but it still lay far from the true Sword Light Divergence.
Tian Feiyu was in high spirits; once everyone had left, he gathered a few disciples for a celebratory feast. They drank until the full moon hung high in the sky before finally dispersing in drunken revelry.
Xunuo stayed overnight at the Seven Star Sword Hall. The next day, he took his leave from Tian Feiyu and returned to Herb Valley to continue his training. Tian Feiyu naturally agreed and offered some parting advice.
Upon arriving at Herb Valley, Xunuo found Jing Lide waiting along the way. Several familiar faces stood beside Jing Lide. Guo Shujiang, fearing others would block him, stood at the front. As soon as he saw Xunuo, he rushed over for a bear hug. Xunuo quickly invited everyone to gather at his Thatched Cottage for a reunion. Jiang Tiesuo, Nangong Changjian, and others filled the Thatched Cottage to capacity. They spent an entire day enjoying themselves at Xunuo's place before returning home satisfied.
A few days later, things finally quieted down for Xunuo. He closed his doors to guests and began focusing on his plans.
The first thing Xunuo needed to do was further investigate the secrets of the Boundary Stone and establish a medicinal field within its Spirit Domain Wonderland. The second task was to continue acquiring and refining the three medicinal ingredients needed for the Unity Pill.
However, since seeing the real Unity Pill, Xunuo's confidence in his ability to refine it had waned significantly. The potency of the Unity Pill exceeded his grasp on potion-making. Moreover, turning the medicinal paste into pills was not something that could be accomplished in just a few days. Xunuo's Fire Manipulation Technique lacked that kind of endurance; fire from wood was also too unstable. It seemed there were still many things he needed to learn from others regarding alchemy.
Additionally, Xunuo had recently acquired some new Spell incantations that he could practice during this time.
As for the Huayang Classic, Xunuo had just cultivated to the seventh layer. For now, he could only stabilize his cultivation and further solidify the True Essence Magic. The Elixir Formula was pushed to the back of his priorities.
During this trip to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, the Huayang Classic had advanced two layers in succession. His Mind Power also surged significantly, making the cultivation of the Elixir Formula no longer an urgent matter.
Having planned the sequence of tasks, Xunuo first lit a standing incense stick in his room. This type of incense was used by Outer Sect Disciples during their standing practice. Each stick could burn for half an hour; once it extinguished, it signaled the end of practice.
Xunuo lit this incense to see how long he could remain in the Spirit Domain before being expelled. He also wanted to observe if there was any change in the duration of this expulsion.
As soon as the incense was lit, Xunuo activated his Divine Sense and entered the Starlight Arena. With a wave of his hand, an empty storage bag flew into his grasp from a nearby rack. He then stepped into the Spirit Domain, taking a deep breath of the rich Spiritual Energy. Xunuo leaped onto a giant tree and dashed toward the direction of a visible spiritual spring.
In no time, he arrived at the Spring Edge. Xunuo tapped his storage bag, and two Heavenly Shadow Spikes shot out. Channeling his magic, the two Heavenly Shadow Spikes glimmered with Azure Radiance and began to dance around a massive tree beside him. In an instant, branches from the trunk began to fall away.
With a flick of his hand, a storage bag flew out to catch the falling branches. As they descended, the bag opened wide and absorbed them all. Although Xunuo's Object Manipulation Technique allowed him to control these branches and stones slowly and with difficulty, he could manipulate the storage bag with ease and precision. Not a single branch that was cut down by the Heavenly Shadow Spikes hit the ground; all were collected into the storage bag. In no time at all, this previously empty bag was filled to capacity.
With no choice left, Xunuo retracted the Heavenly Shadow Spikes and ran a short distance away. He shook off the cut branches into the forest. When he turned back, he felt a sudden wave of repulsion approaching.
Xunuo felt slightly dazed but quickly stepped out of the Starlight Arena. To his astonishment, he saw that the standing incense in the burner looked as if it had just been lit. The smoke curled upward without spreading out at all.
Naturally, Xunuo was bewildered. He had estimated that his time spent in the Spirit Domain would not exceed half a moment but would be around a tea's worth of time. However, it now seemed rather strange.
First update of the day: I am making up for yesterday's update today and will have three updates today.
