Chapter 433 Discussing the Dao with the Sword Saint! A crushing victory! The Sword Domain trembles!
Throughout the journey, Chu Yang devoted himself to cultivating the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique. With his talent and comprehension, it would not be difficult for him to learn any cultivation method.
When Chu Yang arrived at the coordinates provided by Wu Ming, a small spiritual embryo had already appeared inside his body.
The fetus is only the size of a sesame seed, exists in the chest cavity, and is surrounded by the five internal organs.
Chu Yang could clearly feel that the spiritual embryo was constantly absorbing the vitality of the five internal organs, the origin of the soul, and the source of the primordial energy in the dantian singularity.
The absorption rate was neither fast nor slow. Chu Yang roughly estimated that at this rate, it would take at least a few years for the spiritual embryo to completely absorb all the vitality and origin of his physical body and transform into a new body.
Due to the unique nature of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones cultivation technique, Chu Yang was unable to directly influence the growth rate of the spiritual embryo.
However, he speculated that if the spiritual embryo could be stimulated in some way, it might be possible to accelerate the absorption of life force and origin.
However, the specific methods still need to be explored further, and for now, we can only let nature take its course.
Stepping out of the spatial rift, Chu Yang glanced around thoughtfully.
This is the eastern part of the Great Thousand Worlds, near the border, and can be considered the far east region.
At the same time, this place is also within the territory of the Sword Domain. Chu Yang only needed to scan it with his soul power to discover several powerful forces with considerable strength within a radius of a hundred miles.
Among these forces, even the weakest has reached the first-class level, and two of them even have a Heavenly Sovereign in charge, making them super forces.
Without a doubt, these are all affiliated forces of the Sword Domain.
It should be noted that this is merely the edge of the Sword Domain. Even super powers with Heavenly Sovereigns overseeing them can only struggle on the periphery. One can imagine the overall strength and foundation of the Sword Domain.
The ancient five races and the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs, both transcendent forces, are far inferior to each other.
In fact, compared to the Sword Domain and the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs, the five ancient races are now far from being able to compete.
This is why the three major forces, each with three powerful figures at their helm, are considered to be giant forces that transcend all other forces.
What was once a transcendent force symbolizing absolute power has now become a synonym for being neither the best nor the worst.
The five ancient races gradually declined, but even a dying camel is bigger than a horse, far surpassing any hegemonic power.
If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Chu Yang and his forces, Sword Domain would undoubtedly be the number one power in the Great Thousand Realms.
In this respect, the Sword Domain and the Great Thousand Palace are completely incomparable.
The former possesses formidable strength and resources, while the latter wields unparalleled influence in dealing with extraterrestrial evil races.
As long as it targets the evil races from beyond the realm, as long as the Great Thousand Palace raises its arm and calls, all the powerful beings in the Great Thousand Realms will stand together with it.
However, during peacetime, the Daisen Palace was merely a symbolic entity.
The Land of Ten Thousand Tombs guards the Northern Wilderness Hills. Apart from the lineage of tomb keepers, it has almost no subordinate forces and rarely recruits strong individuals from outside.
To put it bluntly, the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs follows an absolutely elite route. After all, only powerful individuals who have reached a certain level can provide assistance in guarding the Great Thousand Demon Transformation Array.
Otherwise, if something really happens, no matter how many people are involved, it will only increase the number of casualties.
As a result, in terms of sheer size of power, Sword Domain became the dominant force. Many powerful individuals understood the principle of having a powerful backer and flocked to join Sword Domain's ranks.
But Chu Yang knew that this situation would soon be completely broken.
His many forces are rising rapidly and are closely united with each other. It won't be long before they surpass the Sword Domain.
The question Chu Yang was pondering at that moment was...
Now that I've come to the Sword Domain, and the Undying Divine Tree is likely here, should I go and pay a visit to that Green-Robed Sword Saint?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt an aura locking onto the area where he was located.
The aura was very strong, and it possessed an unusual "momentum".
A smile appeared on Chu Yang's face. It seemed he no longer needed to hesitate...
He cupped his hands in the direction of the aura and laughed loudly, "This junior has come uninvited; I hope Senior Sword Saint will not take offense!"
The sound boomed outwards, immediately causing countless powerful figures in the Sword Domain to look up.
They all felt that the young voice was somewhat unfamiliar, and at the same time, they were somewhat surprised that the other party dared to communicate directly with the Green-Robed Sword Saint from a distance.
"King Chu has come to pay his respects. I, in my blue robe, have failed to greet you properly. How can you blame me?"
The voice of the Green-Robed Sword Saint gave people a sense of calm and nonchalantness, but beneath this calmness and nonchalantness lay a hidden sharpness.
The sword's intent is contained within, its sharpness hidden in its sheath!
Chu Yang can be considered a master of swordsmanship, and one can directly feel the Green-Robed Sword Saint's attainments in swordsmanship.
He was slightly surprised. After all, compared to the world of immortals and martial arts, the power level of the Great Thousand World was higher, but if we only talk about "Dao and Law", it was far inferior.
To have cultivated swordsmanship to such a level in the vast world truly makes one worthy of the title of Sword Saint.
Composing himself, Chu Yang said again, "This junior has come to the Sword Domain only to seek an opportunity. I hope you will forgive me for any inconvenience I may cause!"
The swordsman in green robes remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have long admired the King of Chu, and I have heard that the King of Chu is quite accomplished in the art of swordsmanship."
"I recently had a sudden inspiration and grasped a sword technique. I wonder if the King of Chu would be willing to discuss the art of swordsmanship with me?"
These words immediately caused an uproar throughout the Sword Domain.
People were already surprised and excited when they heard that the visitor was Chu Yang.
Surprised that the King of Chu would come to the Sword Domain, and excited that he might have the opportunity to get close to this legendary figure.
But they never expected that the Green-Robed Sword Saint would actually take the initiative to spar with Chu Yang!
If it were an ordinary strong person, and they proposed to spar with a junior in public, they would inevitably be accused of suppressing the junior and bullying the young.
But the Green-Robed Sword Saint is different!
Unlike the mysterious Undying Lord and the elusive Great Thousand Demon Buddha, the Green-Robed Sword Saint has many disciples and countless powerful warriors under his command, and he never hoards his skills.
He was never afraid that teaching his apprentices would lead to their starvation, and he always mentored outstanding juniors.
That is why so many people dedicate themselves to the Sword Domain.
Therefore, no one would believe that this renowned swordsman would suppress Chu Yang, the young prodigy who is the focus of everyone's attention.
Since it wasn't meant to be a form of suppression, and the Green-Robed Sword Saint had already proposed a sparring match, it meant that he already considered Chu Yang to be on the same level.
Or rather, in terms of skill in the field of swordsmanship alone, he believed that Chu Yang was no less skilled than himself, which is why he wanted to discuss the Dao through swordsmanship.
Chu Yang's eyes lit up slightly, and he replied with a smile, "Please enlighten me, Senior Sword Saint!"
Why did he hesitate to visit the Green-Robed Sword Saint before?
The reason is actually quite simple: his current status and position in the Great Thousand Worlds are rather awkward.
The invitation from the Undying Lord, and the attitude the Undying Lord showed towards him, had already spread throughout the entire Great Thousand World.
Now everyone knows that the Undying Lord values him highly, even regarding him as the fourth giant.
Before this, when Chu Yang visited the Green-Robed Sword Saint, others would only have thought of him as a junior paying respects to the master.
But now that he has been pushed into the limelight by the Undying Lord, if he goes to visit the Green-Robed Sword Saint again, he will inevitably be seen as trying to "establish his own power".
What defines a "giant" or "influential figure"?
You either need to be recognized by all the top-tier powerhouses, or you need to demonstrate strength that is no less than that of the top-tier powerhouses.
The Great Thousand Demon Buddha resides beyond the realm and has ceased to concern himself with matters beyond his reach.
The Undying Lord has acknowledged Chu Yang, but the Green-Robed Sword Saint has not.
Chu Yang had never dealt with the Green-Robed Sword Saint before, nor did he know the other party's temperament. If the other party took it as him coming to provoke him, it would be a huge misunderstanding.
In retrospect, the Green-Robed Sword Saint clearly realized this as well, and took the initiative to propose discussing the Dao through swordsmanship.
In this way, regardless of the final outcome, the attitude shown by the Green-Robed Sword Saint indicates that he has accepted himself.
Is this a way of building momentum for themselves?
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, probably because the Undying Lord had already made arrangements with the Green-Robed Sword Saint when he left the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs.
He was confident that, thanks to the unique properties of his Origin Qi, the Green-Robed Sword Saint would not be able to detect his whereabouts.
However, the power of space is different. When one travels long distances through space to search for powerful individuals, the resulting spatial fluctuations may go unnoticed. But with the cultivation level of the Green-Robed Sword Saint, he will surely be able to detect them.
Furthermore, the reminder from the Undying Lord led to the scene that just now unfolded.
Sensing a sharp sword aura rising from the depths of the sword domain, Chu Yang collected his thoughts and his eyes narrowed slightly.
A giant sword gleaming with azure light supported the heavens and the earth, its overwhelming sword energy causing the entire sword domain to tremble violently.
Countless people were dumbfounded and their hearts trembled.
The tenth of the ninety-nine supreme Dharma bodies is the Azure Sword Profound Body!
This is the Supreme Dharma Body of the Green-Robed Sword Saint. No one expected that the Green-Robed Sword Saint would directly use his Supreme Dharma Body when it was just a sword sparring match!
This also means that he will go all out in this debate, demonstrating his absolute respect for Chu Yang.
"This sword technique is called Azure Immortal; King of Chu, be careful!"
The Green-Robed Sword Saint's calm and collected voice rang out, and the Green Sword Profound Body rapidly shrank, transforming into a giant sword only a hundred feet long, which shot towards Chu Yang's location!
A blurry silhouette of a figure in a green robe could be vaguely seen, holding a giant sword, with a sharp aura that seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.
Chu Yang raised his hand as if to draw his sword.
He vaguely saw the shadow of a celestial being descending from the heavens in the swordsman's strike, the two being remarkably similar.
This further demonstrates the Green-Robed Sword Saint's mastery of swordsmanship.
Chu Yang took a deep breath, clenched his fist across his chest, and looked up at the sky.
Borrow a sword!
A barrier of spiritual energy descended, reaching to the heavens and the earth, but the barrier was incredibly illusory, looking like a thin veil.
The next moment, the world lost its color, and even the blazing sun in the sky became much dimmer.
The veil of spiritual energy condensed into a long sword, which fell into Chu Yang's hand. Then he slashed out with the sword, and the sky was filled with dazzling colors!
Forging a sword in a corner of the world!
Extreme Sword Technique: Ephemeral Flower!
Everyone in the Sword Domain stared wide-eyed at the two astonishing sword beams in the sky, feeling a sense of unreality.
They had initially thought that the Green-Robed Sword Saint's mention of Chu Yang's swordsmanship was merely out of "social niceties."
But judging from the power of Chu Yang's sword strike, it seems to be even stronger than that of the Green-Robed Sword Saint!
Isn't it said that the King of Chu's greatest strength lies in his mysterious divine body?
Moreover, the path practiced by the King of Chu seems to be a demonic path different from that of the evil race, much like the Great Thousand Demon Buddhas.
But how come his swordsmanship is no less than that of the Green-Robed Sword Saint?
This guy seems to have no weaknesses. Every time he makes a move in the vast world, he displays a breathtaking depth of knowledge in different aspects.
What they didn't know was that deep within the Sword Domain, atop a mountain peak, the Green-Robed Sword Saint, sitting cross-legged, had long lost his composure; instead, his eyes were wide with shock.
World will?
Do not!
Yet it's somewhat different...
Behind him stood a dozen or so people, all dressed in coarse cloth, including men and women, young and old.
Without exception, they were all disciples of the Green-Robed Sword Saint, observing their teacher's discourse with the King of Chu.
At this moment, their eyes were also filled with shock, because everyone watched as their teacher's sword, named "Azure Immortal," was instantly shattered by the dazzling array of colors!
This was purely a swordsmanship exchange, so both sides suppressed the power contained in this sword strike to the level of late-stage Immortal Grade.
In other words, even at the same level, the two have vastly different sword techniques!
unprecedented!
They had never seen anyone who was better than their teacher in kendo, let alone in such an overwhelming way.
Only they knew how much confidence the teacher had in his work.
Qingxian is the name of the three-foot-long green sword that accompanied the Green-Robed Sword Saint throughout his life.
The Azure Immortal Sword is a supreme artifact of the highest rank, in no way inferior to the clan treasures passed down through generations of the five ancient races.
The fact that the Green-Robed Sword Saint named his sword move "Green Immortal" is enough to show his confidence in this sword move, and it is no exaggeration to call it one of his most powerful sword moves.
The Green-Robed Sword Saint took a deep breath, his expression becoming much more solemn. He slowly stood up, solemnly cupped his hands in the direction of Chu Yang, and said loudly:
"The King of Chu's swordsmanship is truly admirable! I, in my blue robes, am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"
"I have some questions about swordsmanship. I wonder if I could spare Your Majesty a little of your time to come and discuss them with you, so that you may enlighten me?"
If the Green-Robed Sword Saint had previously shown his recognition and respect for Chu Yang, now he was utterly impressed!
This left countless powerful figures in the Sword Domain dumbfounded, some even feeling as if they were dreaming.
What did they hear?
The Green-Robed Sword Saint actually admitted that he was inferior to Chu Yang in swordsmanship?
This was almost as shocking to everyone as the sudden surrender of the extraterrestrial evil race!
At the edge of the sword domain, Chu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, not in a hurry to answer the Green-Robed Sword Saint's words, but still looking up at the sky.
He has now returned a corner of the world, but the sky remains gray, a sign of the world's will expressing its discontent.
White light swirled around him, and the [Heavenly Palace] appeared in his hand, emitting a series of ringing sounds. Chu Yang remained expressionless, seemingly confronting the will of the world.
After a long while, as if after some deliberation, the world's will finally chose to compromise, and the terrifying pressure slowly dissipated, allowing everyone in the Sword Domain to breathe a sigh of relief.
Chu Yang smiled slightly, and the [Heavenly Palace] in his hand turned into white light and dissipated before responding to the depths of the sword domain:
"Senior, please don't flatter me. I was only able to defeat you by half a move because of a trick."
"But since you have invited me, senior, I naturally dare not refuse!"
Compared to the "straightforwardness" of the Green-Robed Sword Saint, Chu Yang at this moment is showing the full extent of human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Since they've given me face and helped me build momentum, I can't just take advantage and then complain... (End of Chapter)
