Chapter 1331 Taixuan Sword Scripture

In his eyes, the sword seemed to transform into millions of swords, packing so densely that they formed a galaxy-like torrent that flooded heaven and earth and even the void beyond!

They were omnipresent, and there was not a single place that they couldn’t reach.

In a blink, the countless swords lined up into layers upon layers of sword arrays that blotted out the sky, reigned over the elements, and destroyed everything.

The dao of sword had always been known as the sharpest offensive dao.

And this sword that Lin Xun was seeing was infinite, immeasurable, and omnipresent. It was the perfect embodiment of extreme power and terror!

Boom!

Lin Xun’s eyes tingled as the matchless sword intent flooded his mind and soul. In his ears, that majestic voice once again echoed–

“My sword started from one and turned into infinity. All the things I created, I transcended. The journey of my sword is infinite and adaptive, and its essence, like sand, was numberless!

“This is the sword dao that I created. It is called ‘Taixuan.’

“Nurture the quintessence of Taixuan with your soul, and house its sword intent in your eight hundred and forty million acupoints...”

Waves of inherited power surged into Lin Xun’s heart, causing him to fall into a strange sea of epiphany.

It was the Taixuan Sword Scripture, which had been created by Sword Emperor Taixuan with his lifelong insights on the great dao after he had ascended to the Emperor stage. It was truly a supreme inheritance.

To cultivate this art, one had to turn all of their acupoints into ‘sword orifices,’ where they would refine sword qi using the art’s technique.

According to Sword Emperor Taixuan, there were 840 million acupoints in the human body. Each of them was like a sacred treasure that could be as big as an abyss, and could be used as a sword-refining furnace!

840 million acupoints was equivalent to 840 million sword furnaces!

By cultivating the Taixuan Sword Scripture, one would put a strand of sword qi into each furnace, where it would be tempered and purified into a sword light. The sword light could continue to condense into a strand of sword intent that could develop sentience and transform into a sword spirit.

And what controlled the 840 million sword qi was the Taixuan quintessence that was nurtured in the heart acupoint!

When this art was cultivated to perfection, one would be able to deploy all 840 million sword qi at once with a single thought. The mere sight of it would be able to blot out the whole universe!

Its unrivaled sharpness could reach every corner.

Its supreme might could cut down all demons and gods, interrupt the cycle of yin and yang, destroy the five elements, open up the heavens, and slash through time!

When Lin Xun came to his senses after a long trance, he could not hide his uncontrollable shock.

Powerful!

Truly too powerful!

The legacy that Sword Emperor Taixuan had left behind was beyond imagination. It could even be considered the supreme sword art of the Emperor dao!

Eight hundred and forty million swords shooting out together and sweeping through the galaxy... Just how terrifying would such a sight be?

It took a while for Lin Xun to calm down, and he realized that it was impossible for him to cultivate the Taixuan Sword Scripture to perfection unless he could reach the Emperor stage.

However, the scripture was extremely profound and miraculous. The cultivation insights on the longevity tribulation stage recorded within it were extraordinary, and were enough for Lin Xun to be able to benefit endlessly.

After all, it was left by a peerless Sword Emperor.

The two words made one’s heart tremble just thinking about it.

“With my current cultivation, I can only nurture at most three thousand sword qi. But that’s already enough. The Taixuan Sword Scripture is not about winning with numbers. During the longevity tribulation stage, three thousand Taixuan sword qi can be fused into a single sword, or form a sword array...”

Lin Xun noticed that there were many elaborations on sword arrays in the Taixuan Sword Scripture.

For example, when the cultivator was at the longevity tribulation stage, they could cultivate three types of sword arrays. They were the Great Void Killer Sword Array, the Great Confinement Killer Sword Array, and the Great Unrestrained Killer Sword Array.

Each array corresponded to a different control technique, which was both astounding and terrifying.

For example, the Great Void Killer Sword Array, once set, would form an invisible array out of seven hundred and twenty sword qi and kill the enemy without them even noticing it!

Moreover, the quality of the sword qi determined the power of the array.

Once the cultivator successfully refined the sword qi into sword lights, the power of the array would rise to a new level, and it would go up another level if the sword lights condensed into sword intent. The trend continued when the sword intent developed sentience and became sword souls, then sword spirits.

However, sword souls could only be refined at the Saint stage, and sword spirits at the Emperor stage.

In other words, Lin Xun currently could only condense Taixuan sword qi into sword intent at most, but even so, the power was already astonishing.

After understanding the art, Lin Xun suppressed his emotions and started cultivating.

Cultivating a new art was not something that could be done in minutes.

To cultivate the Taixuan Sword Scripture, the first step was to produce a stream of Taixuan quintessence and nurture it within the heart acupoint. Only then could one go on to control and use the other sword qi.

This was the introductory stage, but it was also the most crucial and sophisticated step that laid out the foundation for cultivating the rest of the scripture!

The so-called Taixuan quintessence was, in fact, the fusion of one’s own cultivation, essence, qi, and spirit into the power of a great dao under one’s control.

For example, to cultivate this art, Lin Xun would definitely choose the Star Annihilation Heaven Devourer as the catalyst to refine his cultivation into a force of Taixuan quintessence, which he would grow within his heart acupoint.

Whew~

Lin Xun took a deep breath to calm his mind and recalled the previous scene just now, and then he understood completely.

The inheritances in the ancient stone statues in this Ultimate Inheritance Land were indeed not suitable for him. However, because his spirit had somehow traveled to the primordial era and witnessed the origin of the Supreme Realm, he was lucky enough to be able to obtain the legacy of Sword Emperor Taixuan!

“So Battle Emperor Mo Yang and Sword Emperor Taixuan knew each other...

“In the primordial era, those great figures only gathered in response to Sword Emperor Taixuan’s call. Thus it can be seen how powerful and influential he had been then.

“Moreover, after creating the Supreme Realm, they all stepped on the Ancient Nebula Road... Does this mean that when my cultivation reaches their level, I must go to the Ancient Nebula Road to search for a way to break through?”

Lin Xun’s heart was once again filled with emotions.

The Supreme Realm had actually been built by over a thousand sages together from a strand of primal chaos origin, only to reopen the supreme path for future generations!

Who could even think of imagining this?

“The heart and effort of the sages should be treasured and valued, so as to live up to what I have learned on the path of cultivation.” Lin Xun’s mind was firm.

And then, he opened his eyes and stood up.

“He woke up! Demon God Lin woke up!”

“He sat there for a whole day. Did he obtain an inheritance?”

A whispering of discussions rang out, and Lin Xun looked around to see that everyone in the vicinity of the battlefield were looking at him.

Lin Xun didn’t pay attention to the gazes. I sat here for a whole day?

That was when he noticed that the stone statues had all disappeared.

Imperial Son Shaohao, Fairy Ruowu, Yuan Fatian, and the others had all returned to the edge of the Ultimate Battlefield.

“Boss!” Toady and the big black bird waved at Lin Xun.

Zhao Jingxuan was with them as she looked at him with a smile.

Lin Xun walked over to them and asked, “The second round has begun?”

He saw that in the battlefield, a violet-robed youth was engaging in a fierce duel with Great One Sect’s heir Wang Xuanyu.

“Yes, it started in the morning. This second round is quite brutal since all the fifty-four people who passed the first round are tough to deal with.” Toady frowned.

“The rules are also confusing. Any of those fifty-four can enter the battlefield and challenge another, and the winner stays and the loser is eliminated,” the big black bird quickly explained. “But that’s not the big deal here. It’s the fact that the winner can either leave or remain in the battlefield and accept challenges from others.”

Lin Xun was stunned. “Are there any benefits to be gained after a victory?”

Everyone shook their heads. “None at all, and that’s what we find confusing because this second round is already the final round of competition. How will the Saint’s Guide be obtained like this?”

“People like Mi Hengzhen and Ye Mohe have all won, but none of them have been able to get the Saint’s Guide,” Toady elaborated. “Everyone guesses that this second round will be like the first round, we need to win multiple duels in a row in order to have a chance to go and obtain the Saint’s Guide.”

Hearing this, Lin Xun suddenly recalled the conversation between Sword Emperor Taixuan and the Battle Emperor Mo Yang.

Sword Emperor Taixuan had been holding a bronze box that was four inches long and two fingers wide. From afar, it resembled a heavy bronze flying sword.

According to him, the bronze box was a collection of insights from sages on the supreme path, so it was extremely valuable.

Lin Xun guessed that what was sealed inside this bronze box was most likely the so-called Saint’s Guide!

At that time, Sword Emperor Taixuan had stated that the item would never fall into the hands of people with ill intentions. For this reason, he had single-handedly created the Ultimate Inheritance Land.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but suspect that the second round of the competition was actually a test of the heart.

Only those who met the conditions left by Sword Emperor Taixuan might be qualified for the Saint’s Guide.

“One’s intention is related to their state of mind. If one’s heart is full of ill thoughts, then they are bound to bring trouble to the world, and that’s certainly not something Sword Emperor Taixuan would like to see. But what must one’s state of mind be like to qualify for the Saint’s Guide?” Lin Xun frowned as even he was puzzled.

Boom!

A horrifying collision suddenly boomed on the battlefield. Wang Xuanyu defeated the violet-robed youth and won the duel.

But likewise, he was also seriously injured and had no choice but to exit the battlefield. What made him bitter was that he didn’t obtain the Saint’s Guide after winning.

I’m not destined for this fortune, am I? Wang Xuanyu sighed.

Whoosh!

As Fairy Ruowu descended the battlefield like a feather, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the field, wanting to see who she would challenge.

Up to this point, half of the fifty-four apex giants who had passed the first round had already fought. So far, no one had obtained the Saint’s Guide.

No one had expected that Fairy Ruowu would choose this juncture to enter the battlefield.

After all, Imperial Son Shaohao had also been watching from the sidelines as well.

Fairy Ruowu stood in the middle of the field. Her gaze swept over the crowd before stopping at a specific person.

When everyone saw clearly who that was, there was instantly a clamor.
