I don’t know how long it took, Ye Xuan’s eyes slowly opened, as if he sensed something, he sat up violently and said incredulously, “I’ve reached the Qi Transformation Realm?”
Qi Change Realm!
Because at this moment, he felt an air current flowing in his body, no, that wasn’t air current, that was sword qi! Not only that, he also felt a small silver-coloured sword suspended in his body at the dantian in his abdomen.
At this time, that mysterious woman’s voice suddenly rang out, “You have already reached the Qi Transformation Realm.”
Indeed, he had reached the Qi Transformation Realm!
Ye Xuan’s fists were clenched and his entire body was trembling slightly, it wasn’t anger, it was excitement. At this moment, he was like suddenly seeing a vertical light in the middle of a pitch-black abyss. Seeing hope after a desperate situation, how could he not be excited?
Most importantly, he had every chance to reach the Royal Qi Realm and then bring his sister to the Imperial Capital’s Cangi Academy to seek medical treatment.
“What are you excited about!”
The mysterious woman suddenly said, “It’s only just begun.”
Ye Xuan smiled sarcastically, “I’ve made senior laugh.”
The mysterious woman said, “Using the sword as a dantian, this makes up for the flaw that you don’t have a dantian, however, there are some drawbacks. Swords are divided into common swords, spirit swords, bright swords, true swords, heavenly swords, dao swords, and immortal swords. The sword in your body was once supposed to be at the level of a true sword, but, with the erosion of 1,200 years, its original ‘true’ has already dissipated, and not only has the ‘true’ dissipated, but even its sword heart’s brightness has also disappeared. It is now just a spirit sword.”
Saying this, the mysterious woman gave a slight beat, and then added: “A sword’s spirit, there is the day when it disappears, once it disappears and the sword shatters, the first one to die is you! ”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
The mysterious woman said; “You have two solutions, the first one, keep searching for a new spirit sword to devour, after devouring it, the sword’s aura will not only strengthen yourself, but will also replenish the spirit power of this sword in your body; the second one, search for a new sword to replace this current sword in your body. The better the sword is, the better your dantian is, and the better the dantian is, the more terrifying your strength will naturally be. Of course, seeing that you are also a poor man, I’m afraid that you don’t even have a mundane sword!”
Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something as he hurriedly said, “Aren’t there three swords at the top of the tower? What level are those three swords?”
The mysterious woman said in a faint voice: “No level.”
Ye Xuan: “……”
The mysterious woman added: “Kid, I advise you not to think nonsense. If it wasn’t for the existence of these three swords, your world would have cooled down a long time ago. There can be no need to rush about the sword, this sword in your body should be able to last for about a year, your current priority is to practice the sword.”
Practising the sword!
Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “How to practise?”
“Killing people!” The mysterious woman said.
Ye Xuan: “……”
The mysterious woman said, “Sword, the weapon of killing, only by killing people will you be able to truly understand its wonders. Of course, you’re just starting out now, what you need to practice is speed and power. Utilise that sword technique I passed on to you to call out the sword within you!”
Ye Xuan flinched, then his eyes slowly closed, and soon, his palm spread out, a ray of sword light flashed in his palm, followed by a sword suspended in his palm.
It was none other than the silver-coloured Spirit Sky Sword in his body!
Ye Xuan froze, “Senior, this, this sword can be called out?”
The mysterious woman said, “Yes, however, it’s best if you don’t use this sword for fighting, because once the sword is destroyed, you’ll be cold. You still lack an opponent now, I’ll find one for you!”
As the woman’s voice fell, in front of Ye Xuan, an illusory shadow appeared.
The mysterious woman said, “This shadow in front of you is at the Qi Transformation Realm, the same realm as you. Begin!”
Just as the mysterious woman’s voice fell, the illusory shadow in front of Ye Xuan directly disappeared in place!
Ye Xuan’s eye pupils suddenly shrunk, the other party was so fast, with his instinctive reaction, he flickered sideways, however, the sword seemed to know that he was going to dodge away, and suddenly changed its momentum at the moment he flickered.
Ye Xuan’s feet had just landed on the ground, the sword directly stabbed him in front of his chest!
Blood spilled out!
Ye Xuan froze, then said, ”Senior, isn’t it sword practice? How come it’s for real? Also, senior didn’t impart any sword moves and techniques to me!”
The mysterious woman’s voice suddenly went cold, “Sword practice? A sword cultivator’s most powerful killing moves are never practised, but killed by killing. This virtual shadow in front of you is an enemy and a teacher, if you are smart, he will teach you all the basic sword techniques. Being injured, is the best teacher, understand? As for sword techniques and sword strokes, there’s no rush first, building a good foundation is what matters!”
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, and finally, he nodded, “Understood.”
After saying that, he violently stomped the ground with his right foot, and his entire body directly rushed out.
Inside the tower, the injuries on Ye Xuan’s body were increasing, however, he was getting more and more courageous the more he fought.
Fighting?
He, Ye Xuan, had never been afraid of it. He was once the son of the Ye Family and often represented the Ye Family in various life and death battles for the benefit of the Ye Family, which was why he was able to harden himself against that Grand Elder with the Unrest Realm.
His realm was not raised, it was killed.
Gradually, Ye Xuan began to learn some of the ways of that shadow’s sword moves. Not only that, every time he was injured, he would understand why he was injured and what he had to be able to do to not be injured again!
Thus, after three days of bitter fighting, the injuries Ye Xuan sustained gradually began to be less.
Of course, he didn’t learn any sword moves, but he learnt when to strike the sword, when not to strike the sword, when to block, when to dodge …… However, this was all exchanged with the price of blood.
This kind of sparring, although cruel, was the most effective.
Two more days passed.
Now, Ye Xuan had started to be able to slowly counterattack. And when he started to counterattack, he discovered that the defensive ability of this shadow in front of him was not normal, it was far, far better than his previous defence.
To him, this shadow’s defence was simply dripping with water, no matter how he attacked, the other party was able to perfectly defuse it. Of course, to him, this was a good thing, because this shadow was equivalent to teaching him how to defend.
Little by little, time passed, and inside the tower, Ye Xuan practically wasted his sleep and food practising against the shadow, and during this period of time, his strength and speed as well as his reflexes were far too much stronger than before.
This discovery made Ye Xuan ecstatic and his cultivation became more and more frantic.
Outside, the Ye Mansion.
Ye Bitter walked into the Grand Elder’s room, Ye Bitter had an excited smile on his face, ”Grand Elder, I have found out about the previous incident on South Mountain. Although the assassins we sent failed to decapitate Ye Xuan, the survivors of the Li Clan saw with their own eyes that Ye Xuan’s dantian was broken!”
At those words, that Grand Elder snapped his eyes open, “Sure?”
Ye Bitter nodded, “There is absolutely no falsehood, I personally went to ask that survivor, Ye Xuan’s dantian was, indeed, destroyed.”
“This is the heavens trying to destroy him Ye Xuan, haha ……” Inside the room, the Grand Elder laughed coldly.
The dantian was shattered!
A person without a dantian was a martial artist, and only with a dantian could one be called a martial artist.
Ye Xuan’s dantian was shattered, so it could be said that he was considered an invalid. Even if he possessed notable combat strength, he only possessed a brute force, only when he mastered qi could he be considered a truly strong person.
A moment later, the Grand Elder coldly said, “Ye Bitter, gather the crowd to except him to get rid of the future trouble!”
The elder named Ye Bitter was shaking his head, “No!”
The Grand Elder looked at Ye Bitter, who said with a straight face, “Grand Elder, after all, Ye Xuan has contributed a lot to the Ye Family, killing him now will surely chill the hearts of many people within the Ye Family, plus Ye Lang has just become the son of the family, and there is still this life and death pact with him, at this time, if we get rid of him, what will the outsiders think? If we get rid of him at this time, what will the outsiders think? Not only outsiders, if word gets out, I’m afraid that the Li family and his clan will also make a big deal out of this!”
The Grand Elder frowned slightly, “Then according to your opinion, what should be done?”
Ye bitterly smiled, “Doesn’t Ye Corridor have a life and death contract with him? When Ye Corridor kills him then, the name will be right, no one will say anything nonsense, Ye Corridor can also establish his authority on this, and even more so, he can make a name for himself in this Qingcheng. Not only that, on the stage of life and death, even if the patriarch is out of the gate can not say anything, no!
Is that right?”
The Grand Elder thought for a moment, then nodded, “That’s good, anyway, his dantian is broken, there is no more threat.”
Speaking of this, a ray of coldness flashed through his eyes, “However, don’t let him live too well during this period. Passed down the order, from this moment onwards, stopped Ye Xuan siblings monthly money and meals, its son of all preferential treatment and privileges are cancelled, he shall not set foot in the Ye family martial arts pavilion, and even more shall not allow him to leave the Ye mansion without permission. Also, his sister medicinal meals and stop, humph, his sister that body cold disease over the years I do not know how much cost of pills and herbs, if not to see him once still a bit of use, the old man early to her out of the Ye House!”
Ye Bitter smiled faintly, “The current him, his dantian is broken, it’s not too much to say that he’s an invalid.”
The Grand Elder nodded and said, “Ye Corridor has just awakened, if he has everything he needs, pour all the Ye Family to satisfy him, also, he can go to the Martial Skill Pavilion at any time, he can watch everything inside.”
Ye Bitter nodded, “Understood. Right, that Ye Ling isn’t small anymore. Why don’t we betroth her to an underling in the house?”
The Grand Elder’s eyes slowly closed, “You see to it!”
……
Inside the Boundary Prison Tower.
Ye Xuan was lying on the ground panting violently, his whole body was covered in sword wounds, but luckily, after reaching the Qi Transformation Realm, he could use his aura to heal these scars, it was just that this skin and flesh pain was unavoidable. Although he had suffered some skin and flesh pain, but in these few days, he had gained too much.
His original battle power was not bad, and he was among the top of the young generation in this Qingcheng, and now after these few days of training, his battle power had gone up even further!
“How does it feel?” The mysterious woman’s voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Xuan grinned, “It feels good.”
The mysterious woman said, “You are only just starting now, the road will be harder in the future, of course, the path of martial arts is already like walking on the edge of an abyss, the path of the sword is even more difficult, and you don’t have a dantian, you are not walking on an ordinary path, in the future, there are many sufferings.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes slowly closed, “Suffering, I am not afraid.”
He grew up in the Ye family with his sister, what kind of suffering hadn’t he suffered? He had no background, yet he was able to become the son of the world, relying on desperation. Moreover, now that he had the chance to reach the Royal Qi Realm, and there was hope for his sister’s illness, even if he was made to suffer all the bitterness in the world, he would be willing to do so.
After resting for a moment, Ye Xuan left the Boundary Prison Tower.
He hadn’t cultivated to the extent that he was able to repel grain, and he still needed to eat.
Ye Xuan had just returned to his room not long after, Ye Ling was walking in, Ye Ling walked in front of Ye Xuan, her head lowered, she passed the two white flour steamed buns in her hand in front of Ye Xuan, and softly said, “Brother, eat ……”
Ye Xuan frowned, “What’s wrong? Raise your head.”
Ye Ling lifted her little head, and Ye Xuan’s face instantly changed. Above Ye Ling’s right face, there was a red palm print!
“What’s going on!” Ye Xuan’s eyes instantly went cold.
Ye Ling shook her little head, “No, no, I accidentally touched it myself!”
Ye Xuan pulled Ye Ling to himself, “Honestly, brother isn’t dead yet, everything has brother for you.”
Ye Ling’s tears gushed out at once, she wiped the tears on her cheeks, “Brother, today the kitchen did not send us meals, so I went to the kitchen myself, that kitchen Wang Steward he, he took some meals that were fed to the dogs and gave them to me, how could those meals be eaten? All have been swished, there are maggots, I was angry, to find his theory, he said brother you are no longer the son of the world, our brother and sister only deserve to eat dog food, and then he, he said, want to meal can, I must accompany him to sleep with him for a night ……. I scolded him and he beat me.”
Ye Xuan’s face was icy cold, his right hand was tightly cupped, his nails pierced deep into his palm, “Once you lose your power, you’re worse than a dog!”
After saying that, he pulled Ye Ling’s hand out of the room and went straight to that Ye Mansion’s kitchen.
