The Eastern Expedition Crusaders failed, their warships sank, and the news of the Crusaders, including the Vatican Archbishop, embarrassing themselves by swimming home shocked the world that day!

Except for Huaxia, who was cheering and mocking the Crusaders for overestimating themselves, people from other countries were all silent with despair and filled with unwillingness...

They simply couldn't believe that after the Eastern Expedition Army arrived in the East, this would be the outcome, being beaten back like stray dogs!

In their imagination, even if the overall strength of Brilliant Divine Authority was inferior to Huaxia, at least it would make Dragon King Hall suffer a bit.

But this overwhelming absolute disparity nearly made their eyes pop out, unable to accept this fact.

If it weren't for the photos of Francis and others crawling onto the Western port as evidence, a group of people absolutely would not accept or believe it until death...

But with various evidence in front of them, there was no way for them not to believe it.

"My God, why is this happening, is Dragon King Hall invincible? Is there really no one in the world who can deal with them anymore?"

"These Devils, they are really Devils, they actually bullied the Divine Envoy like this! They must return to Hell!"

"..."

Regarding the global news reports and other people's comments, Mu Jinyu, under Gu Xiyan's reminder, glanced at a few, then lost interest.

He is currently teaching Jian Ruyan and Mei Yinxue, having obtained the "Sword Scroll" of the "Armament Martial Scripture" from Mount Tai.

He has had this secret manual for a while now, previously considering teaching Mei Yinxue and Jian Ruyan the "Sword Scroll" to see what effect it might have.

But at that time, they were busy handling the nationwide martial cultivation and Essence Qi Pill cultivation, and had no free time, so Mu Jinyu temporarily set it aside.

Now that the snow disaster has passed for some time, and the post-event handling is basically done, during Jian Ruyan's move today, Mu Jinyu suddenly remembered this forgotten manual.

Thus he let them learn, as this "Armament Martial Scripture" likely comes from ancient times!

Even though the "Armament Martial Scripture" is incomplete, with only the "Sword Scroll", it is still very obscure and hard to understand. After discussing and researching it for half a day, they finally grasped some of it, and then let Jian Ruyan and Mei Yinxue try it.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz..."

Mei Yinxue and Jian Ruyan were sitting cross-legged on the ground, their swords placed on their knees, their eyes slightly closed, and with gentle breathing, their chest slightly rose and fell.

Mu Jinyu, Xiyan, and Wenrou held their breath, sitting by the side, watching their cultivation with curiosity.

About three minutes or so passed.

The sword on Jian Ruyan's knees first emitted a light tremor, then both the hilt and sheath glowed with a faint white light.

Following closely, Mei Yinxue and her Hidden Snow Sword also trembled and emitted a faint white light.

"Clang," the two swords, without the master's manipulation or the use of Sword Control Technique by Spiritual Thought or True Yuan to control the swords to fly, automatically unsheathed and trembly floated up, circling above the heads of the two women...

"Swish!"

At this moment, Jian Ruyan and Mei Yinxue opened their eyes simultaneously.

At the same time, the faint white light on the two swords dissipated, and the long swords automatically fell, almost injuring the two women.

If Mu Jinyu hadn't promptly noticed something was wrong and solidified the signs of the swords falling in mid-air, they might really have gotten a few strands of hair cut with their current condition.

No doubt, being strong figures in the Fanxu Realm, they won't easily get hurt by swords without True Yuan infusing them, losing a few strands of hair indicates the swords' power.

And the two women's condition seemed off, as upon opening their eyes, their gaze was a bit dazed and oblivious, not caring at all about the swords falling from above.

"What happened?"

Mu Jinyu asked curiously.

"I know how to cultivate the 'Sword Scroll', but..."

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Mei Yinxue and Jian Ruyan regained lucidity, paled, their eyes complex, hesitating to speak.

"How to cultivate?" Mu Jinyu and Gu Xiyan asked curiously.

Because the 'Sword Scroll' description wasn't very clear, relying solely on text seemed insufficient to fully comprehend the true meaning, the remaining part seemingly required the sword to narrate, thus even after reading the 'Sword Scroll', they were still unclear about the exact cultivation method.

So, after discussing it briefly, they let Mei Yinxue and Jian Ruyan try practicing the sword.

Mei Yinxue took a deep breath, eyes showing confusion and doubt, softly saying, "A good sword is needed, integrated into one's body, to cultivate with one's life, I am the sword, the sword is me..."

"Hmm, my realization is pretty much the same..."

Jian Ruyan also opened her mouth to speak.

"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu's eyes flashed a hint of confusion and recollection, saying, "I remember, back then when I crippled Ye Wushuang's Dantian, he entered Kunlun Ruins with Li Zhexiong, seemingly also cultivating some secret technique or cultivation technique, also using the sword to replace the Dantian..."

Mu Jinyu recalled meeting Ye Wushuang and Li Zhexiong at the Hidden Dragon Conference.

Li Zhexiong's depth in the Intent Domain, back then while preparing to use the path of strength technically mastered by supreme beings to defeat them, Mu Jinyu almost suffered big, nearly couldn't hold back wanting to use violence to defeat the opponent.

As for Ye Wushuang, although he didn't leave a deep impression, Mu Jinyu also noticed issues with Ye Wushuang's moves. Finally, discovered his Dantian hadn't recovered, but contained a sword, appearing quite strange...

Could it be that Ye Wushuang also cultivated the 'Sword Scroll'?

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Mei Yinxue's eyes flashed bewilderment and confusion, as she hadn't attended the Hidden Dragon Conference, naturally unaware of the changes in Ye Wushuang afterward, and did not know how much Ye Wushuang's cultivation technique differed from the 'Sword Scroll'.

But Jian Ruyan, who alongside Wenrou followed Mu Jinyu into Kunlun Ruins and witnessed Ye Wushuang's moves in the viewing area of the Hidden Dragon Conference, directly shook her head upon hearing Mu Jinyu's reminder, saying:

"No!"

"Different, Ye Wushuang's technique uses the sword to replace the Dantian and can be said to become a puppet to the sword. His sword within the Dantian, the stronger it gets tempered, he too gets stronger, but if the sword within his Dantian is taken, not only is his cultivation gone, he might even face life-threatening danger."

"However, this 'Sword Scroll' differs, cultivating it doesn't use the sword to replace the Dantian, um... how should I explain it, it's akin to consuming a Pill to enhance one's strength, and the Pill gets digested similarly..."

Jian Ruyan felt the explanation was a bit challenging and added: "Firstly, a good sword is needed, refined and integrated into one's body, then transformed into Sword Bone and Sword Soul, which cannot be taken away. Then continue to assimilate sword artifacts, akin to consuming Pills, to enhance oneself..."

"Eventually, when cultivation succeeds, possessing Sword Soul and Sword Bone, even without a top-quality sword in hand, with a mere tree branch, infuse Sword Soul into it, and it too becomes a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure..."

"Hmm, it can more or less be explained like this..."

Jian Ruyan explained with difficulty.

Helping Mu Jinyu and Gu Xiyan understand the cultivation method of the 'Sword Scroll'.

Mu Jinyu curiously asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you continue with the cultivation, instead stopped, do you think this 'Armament Martial Scripture' has hidden dangers?!"

He felt that according to Jian Ruyan's description, this cultivation doesn't seem to have massive hidden dangers like Ye Wushuang's technique.

After all, even without cultivating Sword Bone and Sword Soul, if these bones and souls get taken away by powerful individuals, there's still the possibility of dying...

Before Jian Ruyan opened her mouth to explain, Mei Yinxue bitterly smiled and explained: "Because cultivating this 'Sword Scroll' requires the best top-grade sword, the foundation established will be better..."
