167: It's better to be more stable

"Below the Great Sword Immortal, even a slight touch means death and the dissipation of one's Dao."

Hearing this, Mo Fan frowned: "Then how does the academy plan to deal with this Sealed Space?"

"Destroy it," Liu Xiyan said.

"Destroy it?" Mo Fan was startled, feeling it was a pity.

Leaving aside the Monster Corpse and Fiend Corpse for a moment.

If one could obtain the Sword Dao Law and plant a Law seed, there would be hope to break through the shackles in the future and become an existence above the Supreme.

Such a Divine Object, and they actually wanted to destroy it?

Of course, despite the sigh, Mo Fan could understand why Yuxu Academy was doing this.

After all, the Sword Pavilion currently had no Great Sword Immortal.

They had no use for the so-called Sword Dao Law.

And the Monster Corpse and Fiend Corpse were the targets of the Demon and Fiend Races.

If some accident really happened.

If the Demon and Fiend Races obtained the Monster Corpse and Fiend Corpse and promoted a monster or fiend above the Supreme, that would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the Human Race.

Since that was the case, it was better to just destroy them.

Sure enough, Liu Xiyan also said: "It must be destroyed. No matter what, we cannot let the Demon and Fiend Races obtain those two corpses."

"The two from the Heavenly Demon Cult who snuck in here earlier were most likely after these two corpses."

Collecting her thoughts, Liu Xiyan seemed to have thought of something and guessed:

"They might have mastered a method to bypass the blood-colored array and enter the Sealed Space directly."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiyan glanced at Mo Fan.

She felt that even for Mo Fan, it had taken a full two months to break through this blood-colored array.

The people from the Heavenly Demon Cult, even if they had a Great Grandmaster of the Magic Array Domain, could not possibly have done better than Mo Fan.

As such, they might have truly mastered a method to bypass the blood-colored array and enter the Sealed Space directly.

They might even be able to open the ancient Magic Array through certain rituals and teleport the saint corpse inside the Sealed Space directly to the Demon and Fiend side.

Therefore, as long as these two saint corpses existed, they were a threat to the Human Race.

As for that Sword Dao Law—

It could only be abandoned as well.

"When will the Sealed Space be destroyed?" Mo Fan asked.

"In these few days."

Liu Xiyan focused, tucked a slightly messy strand of hair behind her ear, and continued:

"Because it involves the power of Law, we must ask a Supreme to take action."

"If we act rashly, we might cause the power of Law to erupt, leading to some bad consequences."

"The Sect Head has already contacted the higher-ups, and a Human Race Supreme will arrive soon."

Pausing, Liu Xiyan continued:

"Although the few Supremes of the Human Race are elusive, they are actually guarding one side each, deterring the Demon and Fiend Races, and usually cannot spare the time."

"But this is a major matter. Once that Supreme receives the Sect Head's message, they will surely handle the matter properly before quietly heading to Yuxu Academy."

"In this way, it will take some time."

Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded, frowning in thought.

Liu Xiyan glanced at him, thinking Mo Fan was worried, and smiled:

"Even if the residual power of Law from the Monster Corpse and Fiend Corpse is not suitable for the Human Race, it still has a certain reference value."

"When the Human Race Supreme hears this news, they will rush over as soon as possible, expectedly within five days."

"I see."

Mo Fan steadied his mind and said calmly: "Apart from the power of Law, are there any other dangers in the Sealed Space?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiyan immediately saw through Mo Fan's little thoughts and shook her head:

"Junior Martial Uncle Wu said that the sword suppressing the demons is constantly emitting terrifying Sword Intent and Sword Qi. For those with cultivation below the Destiny Realm, running over is basically suicide."

"Is the Destiny Realm okay?" Mo Fan was stunned.

"The Destiny Realm also has risks. It is easy for the Sword Intent to invade the body, causing irreversible trauma, or even damaging the martial dao Foundation," Liu Xiyan said.

"Then for us Sword Cultivators, can we use the Sword Nurturing Art to absorb this Sword Intent and Sword Qi to strengthen ourselves?" Mo Fan's eyes lit up slightly.

Hearing this, Liu Xiyan seemed to have thought of something and said dazedly:

"Normal sword nurturing cannot directly absorb Sword Intent and particularly violent Sword Qi."

"Because that is easy to hurt oneself, causing the sword to not be nurtured while the person is crippled first."

Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in Liu Xiyan's eyes as she continued:

"But now, with the Guiyuan Sword Canon, we can move this Sword Intent and violent Sword Qi into the aperture small space to avoid this problem."

At the end, Liu Xiyan was a little excited, her bright eyes full of expectation.

The Sword Intent and Sword Qi emitted by a divine sword that contained Sword Dao Law and could suppress demons above the Supreme were bound to be surging.

Liu Xiyan even felt that the Sword Qi generated by this giant sword alone could rival the entire Sword Pavilion.

Moreover, if one directly absorbed the Sword Intent for sword nurturing, the efficiency would also be greatly improved.

In this way, the time for her to become a Great Sword Immortal would be greatly shortened!

Originally, it would take five years to become a Great Sword Immortal.

Now with this Sword Intent, it could be achieved in at most three years!

However, as soon as this thought arose, Liu Xiyan sighed helplessly again:

"Unfortunately, my Primordial Spirit is forced to be sealed. Even if I restart sword nurturing, it will take two years to break through."

"As I am now, I am at best a Transcendence Realm Cultivator. I would explode and die the moment I absorbed the Sword Intent, and I wouldn't have time to move it to the aperture small space..."

After speaking, Liu Xiyan also glanced at Mo Fan.

Although this guy was also in the Transcendence Realm, he had clearly just broken through to the Transcendence Realm not long ago. He was definitely still a long way from the Destiny Realm, and it was impossible for him to absorb that Sword Intent and Sword Qi for a while.

However, time was tight.

Every day the Monster Corpse and Fiend Corpse remained, the threat to the Human Race increased by one point.

Since the Heavenly Demon Cult could sneak in once.

Then they might be able to sneak in a second time.

This matter obviously could not be delayed.

If not for this, she could wait another two years.

Two years later, she would have long broken the Seal, restarted the Primordial Spirit Light, and her cultivation would have instantly returned to the Returning to Origin.

At that time, Mo Fan's cultivation might have also broken through to the Destiny Realm.

Thus, there would be no problem going to absorb that Sword Intent and Sword Qi.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiyan shook her head and looked at Mo Fan solemnly:

"It's too dangerous. Do not have designs on the Sealed Space. One careless mistake means death and the dissipation of your Dao, and all previous efforts will be wasted."

Smiling, Liu Xiyan continued: "I will continue to Cultivate. You can also go to the Sword Pavilion backyard to practice with Jingjing and Qianqian."

"Your attainments in Magic Arrays have far exceeded Xu Chaomu's. There is no point in returning to Chixia Peak. It is better to stay in the Sword Pavilion to Cultivate."

"Cultivating both sword and martial arts, won't you be invincible in the world in the future?"

"Why don't you leave Chixia Peak and join under my tutelage?"

Pursing her lips, Liu Xiyan continued:

"With your talent in the Sword Dao and your contribution to the Sword Pavilion, I can accept you on behalf of my Master. From now on, I will be your Senior Sister."

Mo Fan: "Elder, you aren't joking, are you?"

Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

Poaching people so blatantly, aren't you afraid of getting beaten?

And accepting him on behalf of her Master?

This is... too reckless, right?

If this were really the case, wouldn't he be on the same level as the Sect Head?

"Haha, I'm serious. You should think about it carefully. I'm going to continue cultivating."

After speaking, Liu Xiyan turned and walked towards the cliff edge, her silver hair draped over her shoulders, moving without wind.

Mo Fan shook his head and turned to look in the direction of the teleportation array.

At this moment, several Restrictions had been placed around the teleportation array to prevent unauthorized people from approaching.

These Restrictions were nothing to Mo Fan; he could break them with a wave of his hand.

He stared at the teleportation array, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something carefully.

After a long while, Mo Fan shook his head, let out a sigh, and muttered:

"It's too dangerous. I cannot take risks. It is better to be a bit more cautious."

After speaking, Mo Fan turned and left, running to the backyard to practice with Xu Jing and Chu Qian.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiyan nodded with satisfaction and immediately tidied up a room for Mo Fan.

She felt that the Yin and Yang in the Sword Pavilion were seriously unbalanced.

If Mo Fan could really join, it would undoubtedly be a great improvement.

And this guy's cooking skills were so good.

With him here, she could often eat top-notch delicacies.

What made Liu Xiyan happy was that Mo Fan actually stayed at the Sword Pavilion that night.

"Is this actually going to happen?" Liu Xiyan felt a bit unreal.

Although she had always wanted to take Mo Fan as a Disciple.

But it had always been bumpy.

In the end, she had given up on it herself.

But she didn't expect that things would take a turn for the better now.

"It's just that it's a bit hard to explain to Junior Sister Xu—" Liu Xiyan frowned.

She knew Xu Chaomu's temper.

If this person knew that she had lured Mo Fan away, she might go crazy.

"Forget it, at most I'll suffer a little loss and let her take advantage of me then—" Liu Xiyan looked at the sky speechlessly.

"It is just too difficult to take on a Disciple; to think I even have to sacrifice my looks."

...

Late night.

Two in the morning.

Mo Fan quietly crawled out of bed.

After confirming that Liu Xiyan was not on the back mountain, Mo Fan pushed his Breath Concealment Art to the limit, passed through the Restriction silently, and arrived in front of the teleportation array.

Glancing at the teleportation array emitting a milky white glow, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on it.

[A space teleportation array connected to the sealed land of Hidden Sword Mountain. Creatures below the Destiny Realm that enter it risk being torn apart by Sword Intent.]

"As expected, the Sword Intent inside can tear apart creatures below the Destiny Realm—"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan focused his mind to connect to his Virtual panel and check his attribute information.

"Since that is the case, Deep Blue, let me see where your limits lie!"

Calling out in a chuunibyou manner, Mo Fan focused his spirit and, using the cover of the teleportation array, quickly set up an isolation Magic Array.

Then, he took a deep breath and lightly tapped the plus sign behind the cultivation column with his mind.

Rumble!

In an instant, Mo Fan immediately sensed a surge of energy rushing in from the void.

This energy quickly gathered within his body and entered his Qi Sea directly.

Then, it connected with his martial dao foundation embryo, stimulated the divine treasures within his body to release extraordinary secret power, rapidly transformed his physique, tempered his spirit, and promoted the evolution of his life.

The essence of a cultivation Breakthrough is the evolution of life.

Half an hour later, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes and checked his attribute panel.

[Name: Mo Fan (+)]

[Cultivation: Peak Transcendent (+)]

[...] (Click to expand)

[Available attribute points: 1.723 million]

His cultivation successfully broke through to Peak Transcendent.

His available attribute points were consumed by another hundred thousand or so.

Looking at this result, Mo Fan felt a bit frustrated.

"The cost of adding points is too high now..."

Adding points once costs over a hundred thousand!

Mo Fan estimated that if he didn't have Essence Stones, relying solely on Alchemy to accumulate a hundred thousand Spirit Stones would take forever.

"I must find a way to enter a Secret Realm again to get more Essence Stones, or I could ask the Sect Head to apply for access to the Secret Realms of other factions—"

While pondering, Mo Fan focused his spirit again and decided to add points one more time!

"One more Breakthrough and I will be at the Destiny Realm!"

Although doing this would cause the Red-Clothed Female Ghost's combat power to skyrocket, leaving him beaten to death.

But there is no time to slowly digest it now.

In a few days, when the sealed space is destroyed, it will be too late to regret it.

Furthermore, he does not need to break arrays anymore, and the comprehension of Formation Source Runes can be put aside for now.

In this way, even if he gets beaten badly and lacks energy during the day, it won't affect anything.

Thinking this, Mo Fan immediately locked his gaze on the plus sign behind the cultivation column.

He prepared to check how many attribute points were needed for this upgrade.

After all, breaking through from Peak Transcendent to Destiny Realm requires comprehension, not energy.

If the required attribute points are few, adding them directly wouldn't be an issue.

If it is too much, he should save where he can.

While Mo Fan was pondering, the blue Virtual panel flashed, and a prompt box popped up.

[Cultivation: Peak Transcendent (+) (1.723 million / 1 million)]

"1 million?!"

Seeing the prompt information, Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

"Good grief."

"The last time I added points, it was only a little over one hundred thousand."

"This time it jumped straight to a million?"

Mo Fan felt like punching someone.

Even robbing a bank isn't like this!

However, after a while, Mo Fan calmed down and understood the reason behind it.

Breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Transcendence Realm requires Intent.

Intent is easy to understand; when something is done to the extreme, and one can do as one wishes, manipulate it freely, and turn it into a physical instinct, Intent is born.

This is also why it is easier to comprehend Intent by diligently studying Martial Skills and practicing them to the extreme.

However, breaking through from Transcendence Realm to Destiny Realm requires comprehending Momentum.

What is Momentum?

Momentum is not as abstract as Intent.

But the difficulty of comprehending it is ten or a hundred times greater.

What is called Momentum?

Mountains have mountain momentum! Water has water momentum! Wind has wind momentum! Fire has fire momentum!

Mountains, water, wind, and fire all have momentum! The heavens and earth have great momentum! All things condense momentum!

The Destiny Realm is a process of understanding Momentum!

Only by understanding what Momentum is and being able to slightly perceive the existence of Momentum can one begin to manifest the martial dao foundation embryo, break through to the Destiny Realm, and start walking the path of taking control of one's own destiny.

Momentum involves the understanding of Laws, so it is naturally not simple to comprehend it.

Eighty or ninety percent of Peak Transcendent Cultivators are stuck at this stage of comprehending Momentum, and until their Lifespan is exhausted, they cannot understand or comprehend Momentum.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan rubbed his temples.

After all, since it involves Momentum, it is reasonable that it requires one million attribute points.

However, he felt that his Comprehension Ability was peerless, and he could completely comprehend Momentum by himself; there was no need to spend this one million in unjust money.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan rubbed his temples and shook his head:

"The progress in the Transcendence Realm stage was a bit too fast, which resulted in me not having time to feel or comprehend Momentum..."

Of course, this was also related to him spending days and nights breaking the blood-colored array to earn Essence Stones, leaving no time to think about other things.

"There are gains and losses!"

Mo Fan focused his mind, stopped thinking about it, closed the Virtual panel, and compared the Array Patterns on the teleportation array, quickly carving onto the token given by Xu Chaomu.

A moment later, looking at the dense, perfect Array Patterns on the token, Mo Fan smiled with satisfaction and stepped directly into the teleportation array.

"With the token as a medium, as long as I set my mind to it, I can be teleported back instantly."

"Moreover, I have been cultivating the Golden Body Art, and although I am only in the Transcendence Realm, I am not weaker than an ordinary Destiny Realm Cultivator."

"Logically speaking, entering the sealed space should not be a problem."

"But to be safe, I must make thorough preparations."

"The token has Array Patterns carved by Master using Primordial Spirit Light, which can withstand three attacks below the Guiyuan Peak level. Even if I cannot block the intrusion of the Sword Intent, I can fully support myself to teleport back. It's settled!"

"After I return, I will slowly comprehend Momentum. I estimate it won't take half a month to comprehend Momentum and break through to the Destiny Realm!"

"In short, one million attribute points cannot be wasted!"

Thinking this, Mo Fan stepped directly into the teleportation array.

The Essence Stones placed by the Sect Head during the day had not been exhausted, and the teleportation array lit up with a flash.

Then, Mo Fan's figure quickly became illusory and disappeared in an instant.

...

Mo Fan felt his vision blur for a moment.

A moment later, he found himself in a wondrous space.

This seemed to be a square, gigantic stone chamber with smooth walls, emitting a faint blood-colored glow, obviously excavated by human hands.

The space was large, made of special material, deep and long, and the blood-colored glow on the stone walls illuminated the entire stone chamber.

Not far away, brilliant light crisscrossed, and a giant sword several meters long and as wide as a door panel loomed in and out of sight.

Mo Fan focused his mind and walked slowly inside, immediately sensing a pressure rushing toward his face, as well as a terrifying Sword Intent that was sharp to the extreme, as if it were about to cut through space.

This made Mo Fan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his physique was indeed incomparably strong, and there was no risk of being torn apart.

He pushed forward against the pressure.

A moment later, Mo Fan's pupils shrank slightly as he stared intently in a certain direction.

There, he saw two bodies four or five meters tall, as well as a terrifying giant sword shimmering with silver light.

One of the bodies resembled the Human Race, covered in black mist, filled with a bewitching aura, and exuding terrifying pressure.

This was a Demon Corpse.

The other one had deep black-purple skin, a long snake-like tail dragging behind it, and was covered in metallic scales, also exuding terrifying pressure.

This was a Monster Corpse.

Quickly scanning the Monster Corpse and the Demon Corpse, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on them one by one.

In an instant, the blue Virtual panel flashed, and the identification information appeared.

[Ancient Demon Corpse, Void-Breaking Creature, suppressed and sealed by the Hidden Sword Manor in the previous epoch, eroded by time, life force faded, leaving only a little power of Laws.]

[Ancient Monster Corpse, Void-Breaking Creature, suppressed and sealed by the Hidden Sword Manor in the previous epoch, eroded by time, life force faded, leaving only a little power of Laws.]

[Void Breaking Sword, a Sword of Laws that condensed the Great Sword Immortal's lifelong Sword Dao power of Laws, used to suppress the Monster Emperor and Demon Emperor of the Void-Breaking Realm.]
