Chapter 195: Above the Profound Unity, Martial Dao Divine Will

This one slash exhausted all of Cold Husband's cultivation.

He intended to perish together!

Xu Yan snorted coldly, a sword struck out, mountains and rivers emerged, enveloping this sword.

Within the mountains and rivers, a gentle breeze blew, brushing against the cold long blade, Cold Husband's spiritual consciousness completely extinguished in the breeze.

However, the power of this slash still did not disappear.

As if wanting to pierce through mountains and rivers, continuing to kill.

Buzz!

The Life and Death Sword rotated, grinding against the long blade, the might of the long blade's strike completely extinguished, and the long blade also shattered and fell.

From now on, not a single enemy was spared, all killed!

Xu Yan raised his hand and grabbed the white-robed green-faced man and another corpse on the Cang River, then immediately returned to Canglan Island.

He threw the corpses on the ground.

A gentle breeze blew around Xu Yan, that was the newly comprehended Sword Intention.

"This Sword Intention shall be called the Xun Wind Sword Intention!"

Xu Yan thought excitedly in his heart.

Li Xuan also showed a smile. This battle came at the right time, allowing Xu Yan to comprehend Sword Intention in advance, which directly targeted spiritual consciousness.

"Your disciple Xu Yan comprehends the Xun Wind Sword Intention, your Xun Wind Sword Intention is perfected."

The Golden Finger also resonated with Xu Yan's comprehension of Sword Intention.

The Xun Wind Sword Intention was derived from the Xun Gua of the Eight Trigrams.

This battle came suddenly and ended quickly, without attracting much attention.

At this moment, nightfall gradually descended.

On Canglan Island, lights were dazzling.

The Red Cat continued to go back to sleep, while Xie Lingfeng and the others felt their blood boiling, all their thoughts immersed in cultivation.

The might of the Profound Unity is truly incomparable.

Xu Yan continued to comprehend the Xun Wind Sword Intention, summarizing the gains from this battle.

Su Lingshow entirely devoted herself to martial arts. She wanted to become strong enough to face any danger alone, rather than relying solely on her master and senior brother for protection.

Zhou Ying was also stimulated.

At this moment, she was preparing to break through the Innate Realm.

Shi Er was similarly stimulated and began preparing to break through the Innate Realm.

On Canglan Island, everyone immersed themselves in cultivation. Even Xu's mother, who had not been diligent in martial arts, rarely showed diligence.

Li Xuan remained calm and composed. As for the troubles brought by Su Lingshow, he didn't care.

No matter how many come, he would kill them all.

As for what secrets lay behind this, he didn't care.

This battle on Canglan Island seemed to have caused no waves in the martial arts world, seemingly unnoticed by anyone.

The disappearance of the four Semi-Transcendent individuals and dozens of peak Grandmasters seemed to have caused no ripples.

Only those who knew the inside story understood the strength of Canglan Island.

In the Imperial Palace of Dai Yue, in the study.

The Emperor of Dai Yue sat silently, as if waiting for news.

"Your Majesty."

A royal servant walked in.

"How is Chang Qing Pavilion?"

The Emperor of Dai Yue asked in a deep voice.

The elite forces of Dai Yue, such as the Celestial Guards, the Heavenly Guards, and the Divine Spear Army, were all prepared. Once Canglan Island was destroyed, he would immediately order an attack on the Great Wilderness and completely wipe it out.

"The two servants and the old lord have not sent any news."

The servant said with his head bowed.

The Emperor of Dai Yue slumped in his chair, his expression instantly dejected, and he remained silent for a long time.

No news had come, and the result was self-evident.

To overthrow Dai Yue, the powerhouses mobilized this time were far beyond comparison, especially with four Semi-Transcendent individuals among them! One of them was the foundation of Dai Yue, that old lord.

For a long time, the Emperor of Dai Yue waved his hand, letting the people leave, and at the same time, he prepared to attack and ordered the elite forces like the Celestial Guards and the Heavenly Guards, which had been prepared to attack the Great Wilderness, to quietly withdraw.

No hint of news could be leaked.

If this attack was related to Dai Yue, it would undoubtedly be retaliated by Chang Qing Pavilion.

The Emperor of Dai Yue looked desolate. What he had to do next was to stabilize the situation in Dai Yue and find a way to befriend the Great Wilderness. For this, he hardened his heart and found an excuse to establish commercial relations with the Great Wilderness, offering the entire Yunfeng County to the Great Wilderness.

From now on, the two counties of Lanping and Yunfeng were all ceded to the Great Wilderness.

Apart from Dai Yue, all the forces involved in the operation became low-key.

One by one, they began to shrink their sphere of influence.

The situation in the martial arts world of the Inner Domain quietly underwent changes.

In the palace of Yan, in the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor of Yan looked calm, looking at the old eunuch below, and asked, "Uncle, is he really dead?"

"Back to Your Majesty, no one survived!"

The old eunuch nodded.

"Just say, Uncle is in seclusion and has no intention of dealing with state affairs. From today onwards, the Black Abyss Guards will obey my orders, decree..."

There was no sadness in the Emperor of Yan's eyes, but rather a bit of relief. Although the royal family had lost a true pillar, he could truly become the Emperor of Yan!

The court situation of Yan underwent a change overnight, with the Emperor of Yan solely holding power.

In a small mountain village, the Demon Child was carving the wood in his hand, when a figure slowly approached.

Wearing a red robe, with a green mask on his face.

The Demon Child's hand paused, he looked up at the visitor.

Showing a bit of surprise, he said, "All dead?"

If White Robe hadn't died, the one who came would be White Robe, not Red Robe.

"Failed."

The Red Robe with the Green Mask spoke calmly.

"How many people?"

The Demon Child's expression became solemn.

"White Robe, Cold Husband, and two others, one from Dai Yue and one from Yan, in addition to dozens of peak Grandmasters."

The Red Robe with the Green Mask's tone gradually became serious.

"Martial Transcendents?"

The Demon Child struggled to spit out these four words.

With such a lineup, apart from true Martial Transcendents, who could wipe out so many powerhouses? Not a single one escaped!

Four Semi-Transcendents, if they didn't encounter true Martial Transcendents, it was impossible for none of them to escape!

Even if he took action, he couldn't kill all four Semi-Transcendents, let alone dozens of peak Grandmasters.

Those with such terrifying strength could only be true Martial Transcendents!

The Red Robe with the Green Mask said in a deep voice, "Why are there Martial Transcendents in the Inner Domain?

 The rumors say that the Demon Lord came out of the Gateway to the Spirit Domain. You are the true confidant of the Demon Lord. You understand this better than anyone."

The Demon Child fell silent.

As if in a trance, he seemed to return to his childhood, when he went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs and saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood, barely breathing.

He ground a rare herb he had laboriously collected and poured it into the man's mouth, then called his parents to save him.

It was this action that changed the trajectory of his life.

The man taught him martial arts, took him around to kill martial artists, and established the Demon Sect, until the man mysteriously disappeared, and he returned to this small mountain village.

"Demon Child, don't you want to become a true Martial Transcendent? The Demon Lord has long disappeared, whether he entered the Gateway to the Spirit Domain or died, don't you have any thoughts about it?

"Do you really want to grow old and die in this mountain village?"

The Red Robe with the Green Mask said in a deep voice.

The Demon Child raised his head, sighed, and said, "If he returned to the Gateway to the Spirit Domain, he would have taken me with him. Since there are Martial Transcendents in the Inner Domain..."

The Red Robe with the Green Mask instantly understood the meaning of the Demon Child. If there were truly Martial Transcendents on Canglan Island, then was the disappearance of the Demon Lord related to them?

"With our current strength, we cannot contend with Martial Transcendents. Among the peak Grandmasters in the Inner Domain, we are already at the pinnacle of martial arts. Who wouldn't want to take another step forward?

"What are you relying on, Red Absolute, to take that step forward, you understand it clearly. It's the Spiritual Will nurtured by the Spirit of the Five-Grade Stone Twilight that allowed you to take that step forward.

"If there is a way beyond Grandmaster, but it is controlled by someone else, what do you think the Grandmasters of the world will feel?"

The Demon Child said with a piercing gaze.

"The crimson-robed man with a green face took a deep breath and said solemnly, 'In the end, we have to take this step. There is no other way. We will use the martial artists of this inner realm to pressure those martial dao experts.'

'I will make a move, and the other half-step Transcendents within this inner realm will also act, especially some old folks who are nearing the end of their lives.'

The demonic child lowered his head and continued to carve the statue.

The crimson-robed man turned and left. 'I will be waiting for the great journey of the demonic child!'

After the crimson-robed man disappeared, the demonic child stopped carving, his eyes deep, recalling the figure that overlooked the world with pride.

"Uncle Blood Spirit, did you die at his hands? You said you were a Transcendent of Martial Dao, the pinnacle existence among Transcendents, and you vowed to lead me to storm the Gate of the Spiritual Realm..."

No one in this inner realm understood the Demon Lord better than him.

...

The forces of the Green-Faced Faction, along with some other powerful individuals like the demonic child, were brewing a storm, gathering grandmasters from all over to pressure Canglan Island. Li Xuan naturally knew nothing about it.

Of course, even if he did know, he wouldn't care.

With his current strength, what could he do against grandmasters from all over?

On the peak of a mountain on Canglan Island,

Li Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the vast Cangjiang River, while Xu Yan stood respectfully by his side.

After a period of precipitation, the Xunfeng Sword Intent had been perfected, Xu Yan's swordsmanship had also improved, and he was not far from the complete understanding of the Sword Heart.

Moreover, his comprehension of the Transcendent Realm was deepening.

The distance to achieve a minor completion in the Transcendent Realm was not too far.

"Disciple, now that you've reached the Transcendent Realm, do you have any insights into what lies beyond?" Li Xuan asked.

"Master, above the Transcendent Realm are the Martial Dao Transcendents, who cultivate spiritual consciousness. Is it the same for those above the Transcendent Realm?" Xu Yan asked respectfully.

"In the three realms of Martial Dao - Qi and Blood, Innate, and Transcendent - ultimately, they all involve the profound mysteries of cultivating the human body, using the flesh and blood to wield Transcendent power.

"The fourth realm of Martial Dao, however, involves the profound mysteries of transcending the human body. It cultivates the Martial Dao Divine Intent!"

Li Xuan said solemnly.

Regarding how to cultivate beyond the Transcendent Realm, and how to connect with it, Li Xuan had started to develop the method after narrowly escaping death at the hands of that 'Senior Wu' when he realized that the opponent had been possessed.

Just as he had guessed, what the grandmasters above the Transcendent Realm cultivated was the soul!

Only with a soul could one possess the power of possession.

Whether it was the Master of the Hidden Tower or the few individuals with green faces, they were all half-step Transcendents who had not yet condensed their souls; they had only condensed powerful spiritual bodies, but had not yet transformed into souls.

Despite this, based on half-step Transcendents as a reference, Li Xuan could roughly deduce that the spiritual bodies cultivated by Martial Dao Transcendents could also be called souls.

However, they were relatively weak and not powerful enough.

The cultivation of the soul also had strengths and weaknesses.

Above the Transcendent Realm, Li Xuan had already determined the direction of cultivation: cultivating the Martial Dao Divine Intent. This was a crucial realm. Upon realizing that the grandmasters above the Transcendent Realm might cultivate the soul, Li Xuan began to develop the method.

As he guessed, the cultivation of the soul continued to maintain a strong advantage.

Li Xuan continued to explain the Divine Intent realm: "The form of the Divine Intent is like the true self, perceiving the heavens and the earth on the spiritual platform, condensing the intention of the heavens and the earth, transforming it into my intention, refining the form of Divine Intent, this is the foundation of the primordial spirit..."

After a series of explanations, Li Xuan pointed to the location of the primordial spirit palace and said, "In the fourth realm of Martial Dao, opening the primordial spirit palace and nurturing the spiritual platform, condensing the Divine Intent on the spiritual platform is crucial.

"After perceiving the intention of the heavens and the earth as my intention, refining the form of the heavens and the earth as Divine Form; my intention is the intention of the heavens, and my form is the form of the heavens.

"The Divine Intent reaches wherever the heavens reach; the intentions of the heavens cannot be violated!"

Xu Yan listened intently, feeling excited, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Li Xuan solemnly continued, "Opening the Mud Pill Palace, nurturing the Lingtai, and condensing the Divine Intent; the form of the Divine Intent is the foundation of the primordial spirit..."

At this moment, Xu Yan seemed to see his Divine Intent reaching as far as the intentions of the heavens, unopposable and unviolable!

To oppose was to be destroyed, to violate was to be executed, all within a single thought!

How powerful this was!

Transcendents of Martial Dao only exerted spiritual pressure, suppressing the consciousness of martial artists, while the Martial Dao Divine Intent was like the intentions of the heavens.

Oppose the intentions of the heavens, and you can be executed with a single thought!

Under the Divine Intent, all were like ants!

Xu Yan was shaken. He felt that even if he reached the complete circle of Transcendence, he would still find it difficult to resist Martial Dao Divine Intent, almost impossible to fight against.

Unless his Sword Intent had become strong enough to counteract Martial Dao Divine Intent!

But what if the opponent had also comprehended Sword Intent?

The Martial Dao Divine Intent of a martial artist in the Divine Intent realm, how powerful would their control of Sword Intent be?

Xu Yan realized that the Divine Intent realm was a watershed, a tremendous transformation and leap. Therefore, no matter how strong one was in the Transcendent Realm, they would be unable to resist the Divine Intent realm.

Can Transcendence oppose the intentions of the heavens?

No!

Transcendence can resist Martial Dao Transcendents, but it is almost impossible to resist martial artists in the Divine Intent realm.

In that instant, Xu Yan suddenly felt that the so-called Transcendents of Martial Dao were so weak that they disgraced the title of "Transcendent."

Sword Intent surged within Xu Yan, as if merging with the heavens and the earth, as if representing the intentions of the heavens. Mountains and rivers appeared, as if transforming into the entire form of the heavens and the earth.

In his mind, flashes of insight emerged, and the methods of Martial Dao in the Divine Intent realm appeared one after another, becoming more profound and unpredictable the more he pondered.

The more he thought about it, the more powerful it seemed.

My intention is the intention of the heavens, my form is the form of the heavens!
