Chapter 471: Chapter 334: Borrowing the Laws of Heaven and Earth, Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!
Damn it!
What kind of monster is this bastard?!
Son of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu…
Can he really be so unreasonable just because he’s the son of Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu?
I have been regarded as the top martial arts genius of Da Xia and carried the national fortune of Da Xia on my shoulders. Just like the protagonist in a novel, I stumbled upon opportunities even when I simply jumped off a cliff… But even so, it took me nearly 20 years to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
It took another 20 years to enter the realm of the Land Immortal.
How long has this bastard been cultivating?
When I first saw this kid, he was a little Qi Refining Realm guy who hadn’t even touched martial arts… Thinking carefully, it’s only been three months since then!
“Hello!”
“Minister Wang?”
“Hello… Minister Wang, are you listening?”
Wang Hou was silent on this end, and Xu Yang picked up the phone and looked at it with a bewildered expression, “What’s the matter? Is the signal bad? Minister Wang, why aren’t you talking?”
Composing himself.
Only then did Wang Hou indifferently say, “I was just dealing with something… Alright, what’s your question? Say it.”
Xu Yang repeated the question he had just asked.
Wang Hou caught a loophole in his question and asked, “Wait… You said that you will ‘want to break through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm in a while’ and not that ‘you will break through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm’?”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang carefully recalled and then said, “Yes… Is there a difference?”
The voice of Wang Hou rose a little and he said with a smile, “Yes, there is a difference. The Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm… is not something you can break through just because you want to!”
“……”
Xu Yang: “Isn’t it?”
“Of course!”
Wang Hou’s smile became thicker and he said, “When I stepped into the pinnacle of the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, I was stuck in this stage for a full three years. It wasn’t until I was chased and hunted down to the brink of life and death by the Asura Sect’s leader that I finally broke through the shackles and took this step.”
“Minister Wang, I’m curious about what happened between you and the Asura Sect’s leader. Can you tell me more about that?”
As soon as the Asura Sect’s leader was mentioned, an image of the determined woman on the surface of the sea couldn’t help but surface in Xu Yang’s mind.
She knew that she was bound to die, but she didn’t show the slightest bit of comfort or beg for mercy. Instead, she flew forward like a moth to a flame and died under Wang Hou’s knife…
Wang Hou apparently didn’t want to bring this up.
Ignoring Xu Yang’s words, he said, “In Daoist cultivation, after entering the realm of Daoism, one begins to comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth and cultivates divine powers… What about martial arts?”
“A martial arts grandmaster gains insight into the Unity of Heaven and Man and realizes the true meaning of martial arts.”
“The Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm is an extension of the Grandmaster Realm… When you comprehend the true meaning of martial arts to the extreme, you can try to break through the shackles and step into the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!”
“The most obvious sign of the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm is that you can achieve a resonance with heaven and earth, using the laws of heaven and earth… This is similar to the Unity of Heaven and Man in the Grandmaster Realm, but it is a higher level.”
“Wait…”
Hearing Wang Hou’s words getting more profound, Xu Yang worried that he wouldn’t be able to comprehend them. He immediately interrupted Wang Hou and said, “Minister Wang, wait a moment.”
He looked around and saw someone walking on the shore in the distance, so he walked further away. He then pointed like a sword, swept away the surrounding reeds and weeds with one stroke, then sat down cross-legged, switched the phone to speaker mode, placed it in front of him, and said, “Minister Wang, slow down.”
In his heart he activated his systems attribute panel.
The originally “4.88 million” points of merit, after upgrading the Great River Sword Manual to the fourth level, were left with 4.38 million points.
He tapped the small “+” sign next to the Great River Sword Manual…
“Ding!”
“Merit Value -100,000.”
“Great River Sword Manual +1.”
“Ding!”
“Merit Value -100,000.”
“Great River Sword Manual +1.”
“Ding…”
As the system prompt sounded in his mind, Xu Yang found that his understanding of “swordsmanship” had advanced by leaps and bounds in an instant, as if he had been understanding the sword alone for decades. His sword aura and essence of the sword became even more profound and fierce.
“Minister Wang, you can start talking now…”
He tapped the small “+” symbol behind the Great River Sword Manual while speaking.
As the Great River Sword Manual increased, his cultivation soared, and the sword aura and sword intent around his body surged, producing bursts of sword hums. At first, the humming was faint, but gradually it grew stronger.
On the other end of the phone, Wang Hou was explaining the “Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm” to Xu Yang when he suddenly stopped and asked, “Xu Yang, what is that sound on your end?”
“Minister Wang, please continue… I’m fine, I’m just trying to break through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm!”
Xu Yang asked, “By the way, you haven’t mentioned whether there will be any anomalies like thunder tribulation after breaking through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm…”
Wang Hou: “……”
“Ding!”
“Merit Value -100,000.”
“Great River Sword Manual +1.”
Another system prompt sounded.
The original “4.38 million” points of merit on the system property panel had changed to “3.58 million.”
In just ten seconds, Xu Yang had consumed 800,000 points of merit!
Boom!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from Xu Yang’s body, followed by a surge of sword intent. The sword aura around his body rose continuously, forming a sword aura storm centered on his body.
The nearby Yellow River was affected by the sword aura, and the originally calm river surface suddenly churned with waves that rolled tens of feet high, forming a dozen turbid water dragons on the surface of the Yellow River!
The tremendous movement and noise were immense.
Even Wang Hou on the other end of the phone could hear it.
He shouted, “Xu Yang, what’s wrong with you? Quickly hang up the phone… The process of breaking through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm is extremely dangerous, and any carelessness could lead to you going into a demonic frenzy!”
At this moment,
Xu Yang had entered a strange state of enlightenment.
He felt that he…
It felt like becoming a part of heaven and earth, fusing with the cosmos.
“This…”
“Is this the Heaven-Man Resonance that Minister Wang mentioned?”
“Heaven-Man Resonance, cosmic resonance, borrowing the laws of heaven and earth…I see!”
Xu Yang stood up, flicked his wrist, and the Bi Shui Sword appeared in his palm.
He did not activate the “Great River Sword Aura” within his body, nor did he use any essence of the sword, but simply slashed lightly at the Yellow River before him.
Whoosh!
The surging Yellow River was actually cut in half by this one sword, taking a whole three seconds to recover.
This one sword of Xu Yang’s was the method of “borrowing the laws of heaven and earth.”
Put simply,
It’s actually borrowing the power of heaven and earth!
Martial Arts Grandmasters can comprehend the Unity of Heaven and Man to borrow the power of heaven and earth. However, this realm mainly focuses on refining the true meaning of martial arts. Moreover, the Grandmaster Realm’s level is too low, and the amount of “heaven and earth divine power” that can be borrowed is too limited, which is not as beneficial as the “true meaning of martial arts”.
Xu Yang sheathed his sword.
His aura converged, the sword aura storm around him dissipated, and the water dragons above the Yellow River fell one after another, transforming into torrential river water that flowed eastward.
He walked to his phone and heard Wang Hou still speaking loudly, saying something like, “Martial arts cultivation is not achieved overnight. One must be down-to-earth. It is extremely dangerous to break through from the Heavenly Being Realm to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Even a slight negligence can lead to deviation and death from all meridians being severed.”
“Sensing the resonance between Heaven and Man is not an easy task. If one’s realm is insufficient, it is easy to get lost in the cosmos…”
“Huh?”
Xu Yang exclaimed in shock, “Minister Wang, is the breakthrough to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm so dangerous? Why didn’t you say it earlier!”
Wang Hou: “I was just talking about it… It’s good that you’re fine. In that case, I have a Daoist Arts manual on the Spirits Management Bureau’s official website. It records my experiences and those of several other Da Xia experts when we broke through to the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm. I’ll have someone send it to you later.”
“Minister Wang, you are too kind.”
“It’s just a matter of a word, what’s the inconvenience?”
“What I mean is… I have already broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, so there’s no need to trouble you.”
Wang Hou: “…”
Yet another moment of silence.
“Minister Wang?”
“Minister Wang…hey, Minister Wang, are you there?”
“What’s going on?”
Xu Yang held up his phone, his face puzzled, “Could it be that the phone signal is bad again? Hello, hello, hello…Minister Wang, can you hear me?”
“Never mind, never mind.”
It seemed like the phone signal was not good, so Xu Yang could only hang up.
After hanging up, he did not go home immediately but sat cross-legged on the ground, contemplating the realm of the “Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.”
After familiarizing himself with his new state,
Xu Yang looked at the system attribute panel.
The original 3.58 million points of merit had increased to 3.6 million in just a short while.
Among them were lucky ghosts that Xu Yang had selected and given the “Soul Chasing Death Warrant Talisman” in Fengdu City, and some unknown ghosts that had appeared out of nowhere.
Xu Yang had already gotten used to this situation.
There was nothing he could do…
Nowadays, some ghosts liked to gossip when they got together. As soon as the “Northwest Hammer King” was mentioned, various versions of the story would come out. It was understandable that some timid ones would be shocked and scared!
“Although my martial arts realm has just broken through, it is still unstable. I should continue to improve.”
Xu Yang changed his mind.
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -100,000.”
“Great River Sword Manual +1.”
“Ding!”
“Merit Points -100,000.”
“Great River Sword Manual +1.”
“Ding…”
He consumed a total of 1 million merit points, raising the Great River Sword Manual to the sixth level, and his own cultivation base, sword aura, and sword intent advanced to the mid-stage of the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Xu Yang then spent another 1.5 million merit points to raise the Great River Sword Manual to the seventh level.
HIs cultivation base naturally progressed to the late-stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
“The higher the cultivation base, the more merit points needed…Only by raising the Great River Sword Manual to the eighth level can I reach the peak of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and the ninth level…in order to reach the realm of Land Immortal.”
“I have only 1.1 million merit points left… It’s far from enough.”
At this moment, the sun was about to set.
Just as Xu Yang was about to head home, suddenly his phone rang.
It was a call from Tu Xiaoyu. When he answered, he saw that this powerful monster, whose cultivation was on par with his own, was looking stiff and strange, and she asked, “Master, where are you?”
“I…”
“Elder Sister Xiao Xue and I have prepared dinner. Please come home.”
“Alright.”
Xu Yang smiled, “I’ll be right back.”
After hanging up, he flew in the direction of the villa.
After ascending to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, one could fly without the need for clouds.
Meanwhile, at home,
In the kitchen.
The originally clean and tidy kitchen was now a mess, with even the walls cracked. Xiao Yu looked worried and said, “Xiao Xue, do you think Master will be angry when he comes back?”
“Why would he be angry?”
Long Xiaoxue tied her apron and said indignantly, “We only destroyed his kitchen to make dinner for him…why would he be angry?”
