Xie Lingfeng's Breakthrough

In the city of Yun Tian Bi Hai, the arrival of Xu Yan caused a commotion.

On top of a tall building in the Lord's Mansion, Fu Tianhai stood on the corridor with Xie Tianheng and Fu Yun standing on his left and right respectively.

Originally, Fu Yun was prepared to go and resolve the situation, but Fu Tianhai stopped him.

"Xu Yan is truly impressive!" Xie Tianheng exclaimed.

Then, he glanced at his father-in-law and said, "Do you see now? By not allowing us to resolve the situation, it's the Lord's Mansion that's losing face, right?"

Fu Tianhai's face turned black as he raised his hand and placed it on Xie Tianheng's shoulder, smiling as he said, "Do you dare to question my decision? Who gave you the courage? Just because you have the title of Sword King, you think you're powerful."

"In my eyes, you're still not worth much," Xie Tianheng gritted his teeth. At this moment, he felt like he was being crushed by a mountain, and his whole body was about to fall apart. His father-in-law's strength was truly too strong.

But he was not convinced and sneered, "If we were at the same level, you would definitely not be my match!"

"To suppress someone based on their level is also based on strength!" Fu Tianhai coldly laughed.

"Hmph, if I were your age, I would have surpassed you by a long shot. With so many cultivation resources at your disposal, and having cultivated for such a long time, your strength is still so weak. If I were you, I would definitely feel ashamed," Xie Tianheng remained stubborn.

Fu Tianhai clenched his fist and fell silent for a while before saying, "You are truly unfilial!"

Boom!

"Damn it! Bullying the weak with your strength, aren't you ashamed?"

"Father-in-law beating his son-in-law, what's there to be ashamed of?" Fu Yun looked helpless. When Xie Tianheng had just arrived, he was very low-key and not arrogant at all. He listened to his father-in-law and tried to please him in every way.

She even doubted whether Xie Tianheng was still the same person she knew before. He had changed his temperament?

But after his strength increased, he finally returned to his arrogant appearance.

"Dad, go easy on him!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianhai became even more forceful.

In the courtyard, after Xu Yan and Xie Lingfeng caught up, they began to pass on the method of cultivating the Divine Origin Realm Martial Dao to Xie Lingfeng. At the same time, they took out some pills to assist Xie Lingfeng in his cultivation.

"Brother Xie, you have reached the peak of the Divine Intent Realm and have been honing your skills for a long time. You have accumulated some foundation, but it is still not enough. Accumulate more foundation, and when the time comes to break through, transform and elevate yourself. Once you enter the Divine Origin Realm, your strength will be even stronger," Xu Yan explained.

For the next half month, Xu Yan guided Xie Lingfeng in his cultivation and taught him about swordsmanship.

It wasn't until Xie Lingfeng had accumulated enough foundation and began to seclude himself to break through to the Divine Origin Realm that Xu Yan finally met the long-lost Xie Tianheng and Xie Lingfeng's mother, Fu Yun, the daughter of the city lord.

However, Xie Tianheng's face was bruised and swollen, as if he had been beaten up.

He couldn't help but be curious. Who had beaten the Sword King of the Bi Hai region?

"Do you have any healing pills? Give me one. That old man was too ruthless!" Xie Tianheng covered his face.

For several days, a force had been lingering on his face, preventing him from recovering from his injuries.

With such a face, he naturally couldn't go out, otherwise it would damage the reputation of the Sword King.

Xu Yan suddenly realized that it was Xie Tianheng who had been beaten by his father-in-law.

He handed a bottle of pills to Xie Tianheng.

After some catching up, Xie Tianheng introduced Fu Yun. Whenever he mentioned Fu Yun, he couldn't help but feel proud.

He had married Fu Yun, the esteemed daughter of the Spirit Domain, when he was still in the Inner Domain. Looking at the Inner Domain, no one could compare. That was also the reason why he had considered everyone in the Inner Domain to be trash.

"My swordsmanship has stagnated. I always feel like I'm just a step away from breaking through," Xie Tianheng sighed.

He came to seek guidance from Xu Yan on the insights of swordsmanship.

Next, Xu Yan naturally gave some guidance to Xie Tianheng in the way of the sword.

Just as Xie Tianheng finished receiving guidance on the Xie Tianheng Sword Dao, a steward hurriedly arrived and said, "Miss, Li Shao from the Wanxing Martial Dao Academy has challenged Young Master Xu Yan!"

"Li Shao?"

Fu Yun was extremely surprised.

Xie Tianheng frowned and said, "Why is this guy coming to challenge?"

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow curiously and asked, "How strong is Li Shao?"

"Li Shao is known as the number one genius of the Wanxing Martial Academy, and is even called the number one genius of the Emerald Sea. It is rumored that he has already condensed the aura of three heavenly laws."

Fu Yun explained.

Xie Tianheng added, "It is rumored that Li Shao possesses a Spirit Body."

Xu Yan became interested. He had always heard of Spirit Body geniuses but had never had the chance to fight one. This Li Shao turned out to be a Spirit Body genius?

No wonder he had already condensed the aura of three heavenly laws.

A Spirit Body is closer to the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, making it easier to condense the spiritual essence and the aura of heavenly laws.

Looking at the steward, Xu Yan said, "Tell Li Shao that if he wants to challenge me, he can defeat the Grand Commander first. Otherwise, he is not qualified to challenge me!"

Although he was curious about the Spirit Body genius, not everyone had the qualifications to challenge him.

After defeating the Grand Commander, he could come and challenge him. If he couldn't even defeat the Grand Commander, he shouldn't even think about challenging him.

"Well..."

The steward looked at Fu Yun and, after getting Fu Yun's permission, hurriedly left.

Not long after, the steward hurriedly returned.

"Miss, Haibo from the Sea Spirit Clan has challenged Young Master Xu Yan!"

Fu Yun was once again surprised.

"Haibo is the strongest genius of the Sea Spirit Clan. It is rumored that her bloodline is extraordinary. She is the granddaughter of the current Sea Spirit Clan leader. It is said that she has condensed the aura of three heavenly laws and is known as one of the Emerald Sea's twin geniuses along with Li Shao."

Fu Yun explained.

"The same rule applies. If she defeats the Grand Commander, I will accept the challenge."

Xu Yan waved his hand.

The steward hurriedly left again.

The Grand Commander's face turned dark as he looked at the two aggressive challengers. He almost wanted to vomit blood.

They had come to challenge Xu Yan, but Xu Yan had set a condition that they could only challenge him after defeating him.

This made him very frustrated.

He even regretted taking action in the first place.

Now, everyone knew that he, the Grand Commander, was no match for Xu Yan!

"Grand Commander, please enlighten me!"

Li Shao held a spear and spoke in a deep voice.

The Grand Commander's face turned even darker as he stared at Li Shao and said, "I admit defeat. Now you can go challenge Xu Yan."

Little did he know, Li Shao shook his head and said, "I, Li Shao, would never engage in such deceitful acts. In a battle of geniuses, we should fight fair and square. If I can't defeat the Grand Commander, it means I am not qualified to challenge Xu Yan."

"Grand Commander, please show some respect!"

Looking at the unkempt, short-haired, and bearded Li Shao, the Grand Commander almost wanted to vomit blood. Couldn't he be a little less serious?

Damn it!

With a dark face, he looked at Haibo and said, "I admit defeat. You go challenge Xu Yan."

"You're talking nonsense! I, Haibo, am destined to be the Sea Spirit Queen. How could I engage in deceitful acts? You, Grand Commander, have no shame, but I, Haibo, do!"

Damn it!

The Grand Commander's face turned even darker.

Haibo was the treasure of the Sea Spirit Clan. Even if she spoke disrespectfully, he couldn't do anything about it. This girl had always been like this, known throughout the Emerald Sea.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Since that's the case, go ahead and make your move."

Hai Boer held a deep blue trident in her hand, which was one of the Divine Weapons of the Sea Spirit Clan. With an angry expression on her beautiful face, she said, "Commander, who do you think you're looking down upon? Do you have the qualifications to let me join forces with Li Shao?"

Li Shao nodded in agreement!

The commander's nose almost twisted in anger. He raised his hand, holding a knife, and said with a dark face, "Who will make the first move!"

Li Shao glanced at Hai Boer and said, "I'll make the first move. If I defeat him, you can follow up and increase our chances of winning!"

"You're talking nonsense. As for me, Hai Boer, how could I take advantage of others?"

However, due to the issue of who would make the first move, Li Shao and Hai Boer started fighting each other.

The commander almost coughed up blood. Did he still have any value as the commander in their eyes?

It seemed that ever since Xu Yan arrived, his authority as the commander had been continuously declining.

...

Xie Lingfeng broke through to the Divine Origin Realm. Xu Yan did not wait for Li Shao and Hai Boer's challenge, nor did he pay attention to them. Presumably, they were unable to defeat the commander.

Since that's the case, they were not qualified to challenge him.

When Xie Lingfeng broke through, he completely transformed and sublimated his Martial Dao foundation, converting it into the foundation of the Great Wilderness Martial Dao, and obtained the Spirit Bone.

Although Xie Lingfeng, who had just entered the Divine Origin Realm, was far from Xu Yan's strength at the beginning, defeating a peak Soul Refining Martial Artist was no problem.

Even a Martial Artist who had condensed a strand of the world's spiritual essence could be defeated in a battle.

His current strength was not much inferior to Xie Tianheng.

The mysteries of the Divine Origin Realm were not limited to this. Xie Lingfeng's strength would continue to grow stronger, allowing him to once again trample on those who were once his subordinates.

As Xie Lingfeng's comprehension of the sword path improved, once he fully broke through to the Divine Origin Realm, his strength would not be inferior to the Lord of Cloud Heaven City, and might even be stronger.

Regardless, Xie Lingfeng was also a genius, and his strength could not be compared to ordinary Martial Artists.

Xu Yan began to teach Xie Lingfeng the methods of the Divine Ability Realm Martial Dao. This required some time for detailed explanations, allowing Xie Lingfeng to not only memorize the techniques but also comprehend them.

After teaching the methods of the Divine Ability Realm Martial Dao, Xu Yan also taught Xie Lingfeng the techniques of the Divine Appearance Realm. As for the techniques of the Void Shattering Realm Martial Dao, he had not comprehended them himself, so naturally, he couldn't teach them.

Moreover, for Xie Lingfeng, the Divine Ability Realm was still quite distant, let alone the Divine Appearance Realm.

It was enough for him to cultivate for a long time.

It wouldn't be too late to teach the techniques of the Void Shattering Realm later.

After teaching Xie Lingfeng the techniques, guiding him in the way of the sword, and leaving behind some pills, this trip to Cloud Heaven Azure Sea City came to an end.

Xu Yan was going to explore the Azure Sea and search for divine treasures.

Fu Yun gave Xu Yan a map of the Azure Sea, which detailed the dangerous areas, treasures, and even the areas where divine treasures might appear, much more detailed than what Cai Linger had introduced.

Just as Xu Yan was about to bid farewell and set off to explore the Azure Sea and search for divine treasures, Li Shao and Hai Boer unexpectedly came to challenge him.

Both of them had defeated the commander.

This surprised Xu Yan, and after some investigation, he learned that Li Shao and Hai Boer had clashed over the issue of who would defeat the commander first, resulting in them fighting each other and both getting injured.

They could only rest for a few days before defeating the commander separately and coming to challenge him.

"Then let me see the abilities of the Azure Sea geniuses."

Xu Yan smiled.

The battle took place on the sea outside Cloud Heaven Azure Sea City, and the news spread, causing a sensation in the city.

Countless Martial Artists gathered in the battle area, waiting for the clash of the geniuses.

On one side was the strongest genius of the Azure Sea, and on the other side was Xu Yan, the Sword God from the Eighteen Provinces, both of them renowned figures.

Xu Yan stood proudly on the sea surface, looking at the two opponents.

Li Shao gave off a feeling of a wandering youth, unkempt hair, short and messy beard, and holding a spear in his hand.

Hai Boer had a beautiful face, a slightly petite figure, but an impressive chest, and she held a trident.

"Both of you attack together, I'm in a hurry!"

Xu Yan held his sword in his hand and said calmly.

"Xu Yan, you are indeed arrogant, but I, Li Shao, disdain to join forces with others. Whether I win or lose, I will do so with integrity. I am not one of those shameless individuals from the Eighteen Provinces Ling Sect."

Li Shao approached, holding a gun and stepping on the waves, his momentum continuously surging forward.

Boom!

The waves surged, transforming into a giant spear.

Radiant light appeared on Li Shao's body, the power of the laws of heaven and earth converged, merging with his Spirit Body.

"So this is the Spirit Body."

Xu Yan sighed. The Spirit Body is close to spiritual energy and the mysteries of heaven and earth, making it easier to condense the power of the laws of heaven and earth and merge with them.

Having also refined three strands of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, this is why Li Shao's strength surpasses that of the Grand Commander.

Xu Yan swung his sword, turning the blue sea into mountains and rivers. Countless swords emerged from the waves, creating a scene of mountains and rivers filled with swords.

"Kill!"

Li Shao's expression turned serious. As he swung his long spear, he continuously shattered the swords formed by the crashing waves, advancing on the waves, unstoppable. With one person and one spear, he seemed to want to pierce through mountains and rivers, shattering the myriad of swords.

Boom!

Xu Yan raised his hand and the surrounding waves rose, transforming into giant swords. In an instant, the giant swords surrounded him, displaying the might of a sword formation.

However, in an instant, Li Shao was trapped in the sword formation, unable to break free.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" Xu Yan looked at Haibo'er.

"Hmph, then I'll show you!" Haibo'er's expression turned serious. With a flick of her trident, the waves parted, and a terrifying force of surging waves emerged from the blue sea.

Haibo'er, the ruler of the sea, the blue sea is the home of the sea spirits.

Using the might of the blue sea, Haibo'er enveloped herself, concealing her own presence, and launched an attack on Xu Yan.

Xu Yan smiled faintly, stepped on the sea surface, and with a loud bang, a golden dragon emerged amidst the surging waves. In an instant, Haibo'er was forced out of the blue sea.

Furthermore, she lost the power borrowed from the blue sea.

It seemed as if this sea area had changed owners!

The spectators were all shocked. What kind of technique is this, summoning a true dragon?

With the form and intent of a true dragon, Xu Yan had already possessed some of the abilities of a true dragon. With his ability to control the sea, how could the sea spirits compare to a true dragon?

At the moment the golden dragon appeared, the outcome of this battle was already without suspense.

"The outcome has been decided."

Fu Tianhai sighed.

Beside him was the leader of the sea spirits. At this moment, he looked helpless and sighed, "Xu Yan's technique is truly marvelous, imitating the might of a true dragon?"

"The genius of the Spirit Domain, Xu Yan, is invincible. No one can shake him."

Fu Tianhai smiled.

"What about those from the Eighteen Provinces Ling Sect who are above all?"

The leader of the sea spirits was surprised.

"Do you think Li Shao and Haibo'er would lose to those people?"

Fu Tianhai smiled and said.

As the city lord, how could he not know the mission of the Transcendent Ling Sect?

The Cloud Sky and Blue Sea City also belonged to the Transcendent Ling Sect.

The leader of the sea spirits nodded and changed the topic, "Will Haibo'er participate in the Battle of the Geniuses?"

"Let the young people decide for themselves whether to participate. The opening of the Divine Bridge is imminent, and opportunities have come. You and I should also ascend the Divine Bridge and go to the other side."

Fu Tianhai said with a smile.

The leader of the sea spirits nodded and looked back at the battlefield.

Everyone was stunned.
