Three Essence Sword Technique, Moonlight

Three hundred steps away from the Meridian Gate, a thick cloud of dust gathered.

In the dust, Lin Ran sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at Liu Hongshan being fooled by the phantoms created by his sword energy.

Using sword energy to condense phantoms to attract the enemy's attention was a method he had developed from the Mystic Gate Sword Technique. It was also his last resort to stall for time.

"I hope it can distract him for a while longer…"

Lin Ran took one last look at Liu Hongshan before closing his eyes. After suppressing his internal energy to an imperceptible level, he began to quickly circulate the Three Essence Sword Technique in his body.

A while later, starlight began to flicker in Lin Ran's eyes. This was a sign that he had cultivated the Three Essence Sword Technique—Starlight to perfection.

However, this was far from being enough. After pausing for a moment, he continued to advance to a higher realm!
