Chapter 122: 122

Meng Chuan held the Black Metal Sutra with both hands and carefully observed it . He couldn’t help but be attracted by it . He didn’t stop it, and his consciousness entered the Black Metal Sutra .

Boom!

Meng Chuan saw a woman wearing a loose robe standing in a vast land . She stood with her hands behind her back, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery .

Following that, she began to execute palm arts, using her palm as a blade . With a casual wave of her palm, there was a magical power that left Meng Chuan infatuated . The palm slashed a rift in the world! The world was like a piece of cloth . This palm sliced open the world, creating a long rift in the void . As her body rose, the void distorted and the rift disappeared . She appeared above the hundred-thousand-foot clouds and struck out with a palm strike! The immense sea of clouds split open like a hundred-thousand-foot chasm .

She used her movement technique, moving in trajectories that couldn’t be discerned at all . She was everywhere .

There were a total of 108 moves .

The final strike caused eighty-one female figures to appear . They simultaneously used a saber art, causing the space—an area over half a hundred kilometers large—to turn pitch-black .

The demonstration engraved itself into Meng Chuan’s mind . It represented the World Roving Dragon Saber Art’s peak strength, as well as the various profundities the saber art contained .

Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!

Meng Chuan suddenly left the vast land . He found himself holding the Black Metal Sutra, feeling extremely shocked .

That was the World Roving Dragon Saber . It’s actually so terrifying . Meng Chuan was stunned . As expected from one of the human race’s strongest techniques . It was on par with the Heart Intent Saber Art and the Lightning Devastator Saber Art! There was indeed something unbelievable about it . This saber art was normally executed with a Willow Leaf Saber, and the senior—who created the saber art—had demonstrated the saber art with her palms .

She pushed the 108 strikes to the limit .

In terms of strength, the World Roving Dragon Saber Art was the weakest of the three swift saber arts, and it could already slice through the void with a single strike .

However, in terms of movement techniques, it was ranked first in the entire human race . When one reached the creator’s realm, they could instantly move dozens of kilometers . What was even more terrifying was that one could form 81 embodiments within 50 kilometers of the original . Each embodiment could be the true body!

At this stage, one was practically invincible . Even if an enemy could produce an attack that spanned fifty kilometers, the attack’s might would be too scattered . It posed no threat to the World Roving Dragon Saber Art’s creator .

“This saber art is actually a set of movement techniques . The saber art is only another form of movement technique utilization . ” The Supremacy put down his brush and looked at the fan . He smiled and said, “In the early stages of cultivation, one can transform into a roaming dragon and roam the world . Before becoming a Marquis Godfiend, there are very few techniques that allow one to fly into the sky or swim underground . Most of them have flaws, but this doesn’t have any . Supremacy Roaming Dragon, Ye Hong, is truly impressive . In terms of movement techniques, she is considered the fastest human in history . ”

Meng Chuan nodded .

Ye Hong was the creator of the World Roving Dragon Saber .

Meng Chuan placed the Black Metal Sutra on the stone table . These were all treasures of Archean Mountain . Meng Chuan wasn’t allowed to take them away . He could only accept the legacy on the spot .

This is the Heart Intent Saber Art . Meng Chuan picked up the remaining Black Metal Sutra . He felt greater eagerness towards it .

His consciousness sank into the Black Metal Sutra .

Boom .

An old man held an ordinary wood-chopping blade and executed the first stance .

Meng Chuan immediately recognized the old man’s move as the Heart Intent Saber’s core to various moves—Heart Saber Stance! After the first strike, there was a flash of lightning before he retracted his saber .

He followed with a second cleave . As soon as he finished the first strike, Meng Chuan’s mind whirled with awe . He could understand 90% of the first move, but the second move was far more profound . After swinging the wood-chopping blade down, it transformed into a violent bolt of lightning! A thunderous boom sounded from a boulder several hundred feet away, but in reality, it was a result of the blade’s impact .

The old man didn’t move at all . His arm didn’t extend either . His swinging of the wood-chopping blade didn’t produce saber beams, but still, it struck an object hundreds of feet away .

The void is distorted? This produced the changes? It’s clearly hundreds of feet away, but it’s still within reach of the strike? Meng Chuan was shocked .

The elder struck out a third time . The saber turned into a dazzling lightning bolt, thousands of times more dazzling than the sun . Then, he retracted his saber .

Th-this… Meng Chuan failed to comprehend . The might of the saber was even more terrifying . He felt like it was much more terrifying than the second strike, but he didn’t understand how it was more powerful . His present cultivation realm limited his understanding of the move .

The elder struck out a fourth time, and a blurry saber projection appeared dozens of kilometers away . The saber projection split open a huge rift in the void . The elder had clearly executed a saber move, but large spatial rifts appeared several dozen kilometers away .

The elder retracted his saber .

This time, the old man focused for quite some time . He was extremely serious .

Rip!

From afar, a large canyon—dozens of kilometers long—appeared .

What happened? Meng Chuan was extremely shocked . He felt a terrifying strike cleave the ground and formed a large canyon, but the elder didn’t move at all .

The old man then began to use the other Heart Intent Saber stances . The profundity of each move was demonstrated extremely clearly . Only after he was done did he smile and look at Meng Chuan . Large amounts of information surged into Meng Chuan’s consciousness! His consciousness rumbled as he completely accepted the complete Heart Intent Saber Art legacy .

…

He held the Black Metal Sutra with both hands, shocked by the complete legacy .

The Heart intent Saber’s foundation was the Heart Saber Stance, which was why the creator had used the Heart Saber Stance five times . This technique was the most basic and most terrifying move . The Heart Intent Saber’s fifth move was as terrifying as the legends said it was .

“Among the three swift saber arts, the Lightning Devastator Saber is the most dominating . The World Roving Dragon Saber’s movement techniques are invincible, and the Heart Intent Saber’s 18 stances will ultimately transform into the Heart Saber Stance . This is the best saber drawing stance in the world . ” The Supremacy’s voice was filled with admiration . “Although Senior Guo Ke couldn’t reach the Creation realm due to his body, he was invincible in his time . The final move he created transcended time . Even time comes to a standstill due to the strike . Without you even realizing it, he would have delivered the strike . Therefore, I’m most impressed by Senior Guo Ke when it comes to the three swift saber arts’ creators .

“For generations of Creation realm experts, everyone admits that Senior Guo Ke’s final strike is the strongest amongst the three swift saber arts . ”

Meng Chuan was also shocked .

Senior Guo Ke’s fourth move was about the same level as the World Roving Dragon Saber’s peak strength . The fifth move completely surpassed it! It was a strike that transcended time .

In fact, the third move he had seen—that was extremely dazzling—had already distorted the flow of time . Meng Chuan didn’t understand it at that time . He only understood after obtaining the complete legacy . The fifth move was even more inconceivable .

It’s too exquisite . I took nine years to achieve Saber Soul, but mine is truly crude when compared to Senior Guo Ke’s saber art . I have flaws everywhere . However, Meng Chuan wasn’t discouraged at all . Instead, he was extremely excited . The true value of something could only be determined through comparison . Since he cultivated the same saber art as Senior Guo Ke, he could compare their moves .

He immediately discovered that there were many places he could improve on! Instantly, inspiration filled his mind . He felt like his saber art was in desperate need of an overhaul .

“Every disciple who studies a Black Metal Sutra by themselves will discover their flaws when they obtain the legacy via intent . They will advance by leaps and bounds . Go back . You can ignore everything that happens on Archean Mountain . Just focus on studying the Heart Intent Saber,” instructed the Supremacy .

“Yes, I’ll take my leave first . ” Meng Chuan put down the Black Metal Sutra and couldn’t hold back any longer . He had too many ideas to test out .

The Supremacy nodded slightly . He had seen many similar instances .

It was the same every time a disciple obtained a Black Metal Sutra legacy via intent . The only difference was that they took a long time to condense an Essence Soul after they became Great Solar Godfiends before they could obtain the legacy .

In comparison, Meng Chuan had obtained the legacy rather early .

…

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan traveled across the mountain range quickly . As he headed back to his cave abode, his mind was filled with ideas about the Heart Intent Saber .

Soon, he returned to Bright Scenic Peak .

“Lord,” greeted Steward Liu respectfully .

Meng Chuan nodded and headed straight for Liu Qiyue’s chamber .

Inside the chamber, a light-red-robed Liu Qiyue sat in the lotus position . Flames burned over her as they formed a phoenix that had spread its wings behind her . Along with the phenomenon of the rising phoenix, the aura that Liu Qiyue gave off was extremely terrifying . Even the super high temperatures caused the surroundings to distort slightly . However, the high-temperature was completely restrained to a thirty-foot region around her .

Clearly, the Phoenix Divine Body’s terrifying power had been excavated by Liu Qiyue after years of cultivation .

Every single Phoenix Divine Body Godfiend was a genius in the Dao of Fire! They didn’t need to cultivate a Black Metal Sutra because their powerful divine bodies contained “fire . ” This was a natural ability . The sooner they raised their strength, the stronger their divine bodies were, and in turn, the more terrifying their phoenix flames would be .

Therefore, Liu Qiyue was cultivating a Heaven-level Godfiend legacy . She had received the legacy through intent and had Marquis Heavenstar teaching her . Archean Mountain also made her enter treasured lands they arranged . After eleven years, Liu Qiyue’s cultivation progress had actually surpassed Meng Chuan’s and Xue Feng’s! Of course, if she cultivated a Black Metal Sutra without intent guidance, her progress would probably be much slower .

This wasn’t suitable for a Phoenix Divine Body expert . Based on historical records, Phoenix Divine Body experts cultivated very smoothly . They easily grasped the Fire Dao . Even so, most of them were unable to cultivate beyond Marquis Godfiends! In history, there were only a handful of Phoenix Divine Body experts that had become Regis Godfiends . As for reaching the Creation realm? There hadn’t been a single one!

The special bloodline brought about many benefits, but there were various restrictions .

“Oh?” Liu Qiyue opened her eyes, and the flames retreated into her body . The phoenix phenomenon also vanished, causing the terrifying might to be restrained .

“Ah Chuan . ” When Liu Qiyue saw Meng Chuan enter, she couldn’t help but feel happy . “You’re so excited . You went to see Master today and obtained the legacy?”

“That’s right . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “After I obtained the legacy, I realized how far I am from Senior Guo Ke . My saber art still has plenty of room for improvement . I need to cultivate now! From today onwards, as long as the sky doesn’t collapse, help me decline everything . Master has also instructed me that I don’t need to participate in any events on Archean Mountain . I have a feeling that I might not take long to attain Greater Mastery of Saber Soul . ”

“Alright . ” Liu Qiyue nodded immediately and said in delight, “Then I have to work harder . I’ve been stuck as well . I’ve been unable to attain Greater Mastery of the Realm of Soul . ”

“Let’s cultivate hard . When the time comes, we’ll head down the mountain together . ” Meng Chuan smiled at Qiyue . “Alright, time for me to start cultivating . ” He couldn’t hold back anymore .

“Go ahead . I’ll personally cook some dishes you like . ” Liu Qiyue smiled as she watched Meng Chuan head for the training grounds .

Liu Qiyue heaved a sigh of relief as well . When Ah Chuan attains Greater Mastery of Saber Soul, I’ll show my Greater Mastery of the Realm of Soul after one or two months .

Yes .

Her cultivation progress was indeed rather fast . After she reached the Realm of Intent at the age of nineteen, she enjoyed smooth progress in anything related to fire . She had reached the Realm of Soul at the age of 25 . Just a month ago, she had attained Greater Mastery in the Realm of Soul! She could reach the Great Solar realm at any time! However, she had never publicly announced her progress . Five years after Marquis Heavenstar taught her, he left the mountain and was responsible for guarding a city pass . She deliberately concealed her cultivation progress, and no one had noticed it .

Since she had deliberately concealed her strength and her attainments in a Heaven-level Godfiend legacy, Meng Chuan remained the “strongest” disciple on Archean Mountain . After Meng Chuan, was Yan Chitong . Liu Qiyue was third .

1It won’t be long before we leave the mountain . When that happens, Ah Chuan and I can get married . Liu Qiyue’s eyes were filled with anticipation .
