Chapter 131 : Myriad Swords Return to the Origin
Chapter 131: Myriad Swords Return to the Origin
“Five Elements Spirit Body?”
“Another physique?”
“What I need right now is a talent like Five Elements Returning to Origin!”
The moment the thought arose in Li Yunqing’s mind, an invisible illusion descended before her eyes like a dream.
Five dazzling streams of radiant light rose from between heaven and earth like divine five-colored brilliance.
They gathered, merged, generated and restrained one another, carrying an ultimate balance akin to reincarnation as they fell into Li Yunqing’s body.
“Buzz!”
At that instant, a faint five-colored glow flickered around Li Yunqing’s body before vanishing.
Yet within her body, earth-shaking changes were taking place.
Within her heart, endless flames seemed to surge, tempering all the blood in her body.
With each breath, streams of refined metal-like energy flowed through her lungs, tempering her entire musculature and bones.
Her liver, kidneys, and spleen all emitted divine radiance; five-colored light coursed through her body, nourishing every inch of flesh and bone.
“Crack… crack…”
A faint humming vibration echoed from her bones, while her flesh and vital essence became increasingly abundant.
The emergence of the Five Elements Spirit Body caused her body to undergo rebirth and transformation.
Her bones became denser, taking on a jade-like golden sheen.
As a result, her waist appeared even more slender and supple, delicate enough to be grasped in one hand.
Even her legs grew more straight and long.
Yet the flesh of her hips became fuller and more rounded, like ripened peaches, as though a light touch could make them drip with juice.
Her chest was the same—slightly taut, increasingly full and upright.
Her skin grew even more delicate; even the brush of clothing allowed her to feel subtle textures.
At this moment, she suddenly understood—her body had once again transformed toward a more perfect state.
This was the change brought by physique.
And with every future improvement, she would likely continue advancing toward perfection.
If female, she would become more graceful; if male, more handsome and resolute.
Cultivation was evolution.
No wonder the immortals and gods of the Age of Immortals and Gods grew ever more captivating in body, appearance, and temperament.
“Mm?”
“Has it become more sensitive?”
With a slight movement, Li Yunqing let out a soft hum through her nose, subconsciously lowering her head to look at her chest.
Her undergarments were of good quality, yet now, upon touching her skin, she could actually feel the coarse texture of the fabric.
Especially at her chest.
With each contact against the cloth,
it even triggered a faint reaction.
She instinctively tightened her legs—
yet subtle changes appeared between them as well!
“Uh… I’ll have to change into better undergarments in the future?”
“Otherwise, even walking will feel uncomfortable!”
A trace of astonishment flashed through Li Yunqing’s eyes.
The addition of the Five Elements Spirit Body made her body increasingly perfect.
The balance between bone and flesh became more harmonious, like the circulation of the Five Elements, causing her body to grow sensitive.
This change was somewhat unexpected.
Yet the transformation did not stop.
As the five-colored divine radiance gathered, her five internal organs grew increasingly brilliant, and faint phantom divine palaces seemed to emerge.
They enveloped the organs, circulating the Five Qi.
It was as if palaces had been constructed to guard each organ.
Once the transformation of the five organs was complete, the five-colored light began to gather toward her brow.
The wood-attribute magical power of the Medicine King Scripture was instantly transformed into Five Elements magical power under the shroud of the five-colored divine light.
“Buzz!”
For no apparent reason, the Five Elements True Intent she had comprehended was directly stirred and merged into her magical power.
“Boom!”
At that instant, within Li Yunqing’s Sea of Consciousness, a thunderous roar erupted as though heaven and earth were being created.
Earth, gold, mountains, rivers, flames, and vegetation emerged, forming rapidly like a miniature world.
As the Five Elements circulated, her magical power became increasingly pure, directly breaking through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Even her Yin Spirit seemed to have consumed a great tonic.
Amid the flowing five-colored light, it seemed to possess a real physical body, sitting cross-legged within the world of the Sea of Consciousness, controlling every inch of it.
Like a deity!
“This is?”
Li Yunqing was stunned.
The changes in her Sea of Consciousness resembled the icy world within her dantian, forming a peculiar phenomenon.
It was like a true small world, a minor heaven and earth, where the Five Elements circulated and all things grew.
All changes within it were reflected onto the Yin Spirit, faintly draping it in a layer of five-colored gauze.
Various transformations of Five Elements spells surged forth, faintly giving the impression that a divine ability—the Five-Colored Divine Light—was about to be born.
“Five Elements True Intent: Minor Completion → Mastery (10%)”
“Pure Yin True Intent: Initiated (12% → 20%)”
“Yin Spirit: Major Completion (40% → 50%)”
“Middle stage of Foundation Establishment!”
“The Five Elements True Intent has also broken through to the level of Mastery!”
“The greatest change is still the Sea of Consciousness!”
“Wait… the Immortal Martial Power has also changed!”
Li Yunqing’s consciousness descended into the Tanzhong Acupoint.
As her magical power transformed, the Immortal Martial Power within the Tanzhong Acupoint also became more refined.
The bright moon formed from Immortal Martial Power grew more solid, faintly emitting five-colored divine light that circulated endlessly.
Silently, it nourished her body and Yin Spirit.
It was as if, after achieving balance among the Five Elements, her body was changing every moment.
“Perhaps when the Pure Yin True Intent reaches Minor Completion, the Immortal Martial Power in the Tanzhong Acupoint will undergo a transformation as well!”
“Just like the transformations within the lower dantian and the Sea of Consciousness.”
At this moment, waves of realization arose in Li Yunqing’s mind.
She had planted Frost Sword Intent into her lower dantian, forming an icy world and transforming force into True Qi.
Now, within her Sea of Consciousness, the fusion of Five Elements True Intent and magical power had created a Five Elements world, making her magical power more refined—comparable to Five Elements divine power.
She vaguely sensed that the Melting Heaven Finger she unleashed after using Five Elements Returning to Origin had greatly increased in power because of this.
When the Pure Yin True Intent reached Minor Completion, it might take root in the middle dantian and generate a Pure Yin world.
At that time, her Immortal Martial Power would likely become even stronger.
“Wait… isn’t this the cultivation path of Immortal Martial Power?”
A flash of insight struck Li Yunqing’s mind.
The upper, middle, and lower dantians would, with the transformation of intent, turn into realms of heaven and earth—perhaps eventually even giving rise to corresponding laws.
Thus, whether it was True Qi, magical power, or Immortal Martial Power, all would gradually transform step by step.
The Initial Realm tempered the body, the Qi Realm cultivated Qi, the Profound Realm refined the spirit, and the Divine Realm should be the unity of essence, Qi, and spirit.
No matter how heaven and earth evolved, for living beings to grow stronger, they could not escape essence, Qi, and spirit.
For that was the very essence of life itself.
The only difference was that the Immortal Path sought from heaven and earth, absorbing spiritual energy to strengthen the soul and directly align with the laws of heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, the Martial Path sought within the body, gradually accommodating true intent and the momentum of heaven and earth within the dantian, ultimately also reaching the level of laws.
Cultivating both immortal and martial paths together, combining inner and outer, was equivalent to granting her Immortal Martial Power ahead of time.
To integrate magical power, True Qi, and Immortal Martial Power and create an invincible cultivation method, she would at least need a preliminary comprehension of laws.
“So, the path of cultivation has only just begun…”
Li Yunqing sighed softly in her heart.
Comprehending laws would at least require the Divine Realm, or even beyond it.
Unfortunately, in martial arts, she had not even fully gathered techniques of the Profound Realm—let alone the Divine Realm.
“Rest for a while, recover my energy, and watch the battle tomorrow!”
“Perhaps there will be more gains!”
Thinking this, Li Yunqing closed her eyes and leaned her entire body against Xiaolan.
The battle between the Sword God and the Sword Saint would undoubtedly shake heaven and earth.
This was likely why so many people remained gathered, unwilling to leave.
Time passed, and a night slipped by in the blink of an eye.
Halfway through the Hour of Si (9–11 AM), two sharp auras suddenly rose into the sky, like invisible long swords standing between heaven and earth.
Feeling that pressure, everyone’s scalp tingled and their backs turned cold.
Almost simultaneously, they all looked up toward the sky.
The Sword God Ying Jiu and the Sword Saint had, at some unknown time, already risen.
Each held a long sword, standing face to face, with invisible sharpness bursting forth between them.
The space there seemed to no longer exist, filled entirely with endless sword qi.
“Is the great battle about to begin?”
Seeing this scene, everyone stood up, their expressions solemn, afraid of missing any moment.
Within the imperial palace, even the current emperor, Yu Taiyan, stepped out of the grand hall and gazed at the sky.
Farther away, figures of Profound Realm Grandmasters appeared one after another.
Even Divine Realm experts stood hidden in the shadows, watching the sky.
“Eight years ago, I was slightly inferior!”
In the sky, the Sword Saint’s voice resounded across heaven and earth: “Though today’s battle is two years early, our strengths have already undergone earth-shaking changes!”
“After a month of sorting and consolidating, my Sword Dao has taken shape!”
At this point, the Sword Saint paused slightly, with no intention of hiding anything.
Instead, he seemed expectant, his voice growing even more resounding:
“My Sword Heart path can be divided into three levels!”
“My heart is the Sword Heart, the Sword Heart is the Heavenly Heart, the Heavenly Heart is my heart!”
“When I first created Sword Ten, I had just touched the second level but had not yet broken through!”
“Now, after a month, I have reached the second level of Sword Heart and created the Thirteenth Sword. As for its power, even I cannot be certain!”
“But once the Thirteenth Sword is unleashed, killing the me from a month ago would require no effort!”
“Ying Jiu, be careful!”
Hearing this, Ying Jiu’s expression grew solemn.
Back then, he had met the Sword Saint at Great Azure Mountain. Sharing similar aspirations, they had slain demons together for years and rose to fame side by side.
Because of his Innate Sword Bones, he had been taken as a disciple by the previous Sword God of the Sword God Sect, while the Sword Saint had remained alone, slaying demons in Great Azure Mountain for twenty years.
He understood the Sword Saint’s Sword Dao well—it was filled with boundless killing intent due to his experiences and hatred.
Yet because he had once been a scholar, he had comprehended profound truths, allowing him to control it with his heart.
But his sword was born for slaughter and death—its power was terrifying.
Sword Ten—he had once heard it described: with one strike, it could slay three kings and split the heavens.
Now, in just one month, the Sword Saint had comprehended the Thirteenth Sword.
Coupled with the level of Sword Heart—where the Sword Heart was the Heavenly Heart—
once this sword was unleashed, the entire world might turn into slaughter and death.
“Sword Thirteen…”
Ying Jiu murmured, raising his eyes slightly, his tone firm:
“The inheritance of the Sword God Sect—Myriad Swords Return to the Origin—I have reached the level of Major Completion.”
“One sword as the core, with countless sword forms under heaven as support, ever-changing, all returning to one furnace.”
“Myriad Swords Return to the Origin—every sword is world-shaking.”
“You understand my Sword Dao, Brother Shang—be careful!”
As his words fell, the sharpness between heaven and earth intensified.
Even the wind seemed to transform into endless sword radiance, enveloping the entire world.
