Chapter 1689: Such a Magical Encounter in 1689

"The Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent is fiercer and more challenging to condense compared to the Holy Court Continent, so the cultivation methods are entirely different. You might not feel it now, but soon you will. As it is said, the universe has no limits, but human strength is finite. Thus, ordinary low-level priests cannot possibly cultivate several Powers of Laws simultaneously; only after the cultivation gradually increases can they achieve this. In any case, there are many taboos when cultivating."

"However, with your Xuanhuang Energy, you can freely merge with any Heaven and Earth Power. Additionally, since your physique has not yet solidified, you can also rely on the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent to perform meridian clearing and marrow washing again. Tell me, with such potential, who can compare with you?"

"In the million years of the Holy Court Continent, there has never appeared a cultivator as powerful as the legendary Guardian of the Gods. The same is true for the Divine Continent. It’s because the separation of the continents left Laws incomplete. Even in forbidden lands like the North Abyss Misty Plain, where two types of Laws exist simultaneously, it’s ultimately chaotic, making it difficult to elevate strength to the peak."

"Even peak powerhouses like the Holy Master and Divine Lord, even if they could cross the Void to reach the other’s continent, would be restricted by their high cultivation and constrained physique, making it impossible to fully integrate the other continent’s Laws, and always unable to reach the Great Success Realm."

"If I’m not mistaken, in the million-year history of the Holy Court Continent and Divine Continent, you are the first to possess such potential. Only you might truly comprehend the two Laws, surpass the Holy-grade, and become the most pinnacle powerhouse!" Ye Yi’an became more excited as he spoke, almost worshiping Mu Hanyan.

Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that being interrupted by the Holy Master and failing to advance to the Holy-grade turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Indeed, fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and such an outcome was beyond her wildest dreams.

In her excitement, Mu Hanyan also found it strange; if this could achieve a realm even the Holy Master and Divine Master could not reach, wouldn’t it be too simple?

"This method doesn’t seem particularly special; hasn’t anyone thought of it before?" Mu Hanyan directly voiced her doubt.

"Had you not mentioned it, who would have known that the core Xuanhuang Energy of the Xuanhuang Stone could be put to such wondrous use?" Ye Yi’an smiled bitterly before continuing, "My master was once the Great Elder of the Sacred Pill Peak, and I once heard him mention the origin of the Xuanhuang Stone. The Xuanhuang Stone is considered a treasure of the world, something that even generations of Holy Masters find hard to obtain, and only once in a millennium might a Saint have the chance to get it.

Once one enters the Sword Saint Realm, the Xuanhuang Stone becomes useless. Hence, any Saint who obtains the Xuanhuang Stone will rush to refine it, lest they miss the opportunity and waste the treasure; who would be willing to leave the core Xuanhuang Energy unused?"

"That’s true as well." Mu Hanyan strongly agreed with Ye Yi’an’s speculation.

Not mentioning others, even Ye Lanfeng, who acquired the Xuanhuang Stone, hurried to refine it fully. Had she not encountered an accident, she would have done the same. Who would leave the core Xuanhuang Energy on the Divine Continent, and who would know that the Xuanhuang Energy would have such a wondrous use?

Even if one truly intended to go to the Divine Continent, one would exhaust all resources and make every effort to elevate their strength to the limit, and squander the Xuanhuang Energy would be unthinkable.

Cultivators of the Holy Court are like this, and surely those of the temple are the same. So, in the end, she became the only cultivator to arrive at another continent with Sword Saint-level cultivation below rebirth and carrying the core Xuanhuang Energy.

Having spoken so much in one excited breath, Ye Yi’an showed signs of fatigue.

"Senior Ye, why not rest first, and we’ll come back later," Mu Hanyan suggested.

"No need, no need. I’ll rest for a moment, but since you’ve just arrived at the Divine Continent, there are some things I must tell you sooner rather than later," Ye Yi’an insisted.

Hearing his words, Mu Hanyan did not insist. Right now, she was entirely in the dark about the Divine Continent, and Ling Baobao probably knew little more than her, so learning about some matters sooner would indeed be wise to avoid inadvertently revealing herself.

"Earlier, I saw you spar with Kang Zihe, and your strength seemed quite significant?" Ye Yi’an inquired.

"I once obtained a strange treasure, and afterwards, my strength greatly increased. Previously, as my strength increased, this raw power was of little use, but unexpectedly, it proved handy on the Divine Continent." Mu Hanyan replied. Seeing Ye Yi’an’s fatigue, she didn’t want to waste time on trivial matters.

Ye Yi’an nodded and didn’t inquire further, continuing, "The Holy Court Continent focuses on cultivating Qi, so once strength reaches a certain realm, this raw power isn’t very useful. But the Divine Continent is different. Due to vigilance against the Holy Court, only a few with exceptional aptitude among the commoners are granted the privilege to be selected into the temple, while others have no such opportunity.

And the survival environment on the Divine Continent is far harsher, so, for self-preservation, those without the chance to become priests developed a martial art focusing on strengthening one’s physique and training one’s strength, similar in some ways to the Sword Dao of the Holy Court, except they don’t cultivate Qi."

"Having just arrived at the Divine Continent, even if you become a priest, increasing your strength will still require time, and you can’t use your original sword techniques. Conveniently, since your strength isn’t weak, you can use this martial art for self-defense without raising suspicion."

Mu Hanyan was puzzled when he mentioned that the survival environment on the Divine Continent was harsh; she had been in the Mu Family Village for some time and hadn’t felt anything extreme. Well, this kind of thing could be asked about later with Ling Baobao, but it wasn’t necessary to trouble Ye Yi’an’s energy.

"This kind of martial art is common, so just find someone for advice anytime," Ye Yi’an said.

"No need to find someone else; I already know it. If Hanyan wants to learn, I can teach you," Ling Baobao finally found a chance to interject, pounding his chest in pride.

This guy adheres to the belief that ’more skills mean less pressure,’ learning everything but mastering none. It’s said this is a family motto passed down from his mother. While his mother excelled in everything she learned, he was unpredictable with inconsistency in whatever he tried.

"Forget about your superficial skills," Ye Yi’an shook his head, saying to Mu Hanyan, "Don’t underestimate this martial art. Although it’s not as ingenious and mysterious as the Sword Dao of our Holy Court, through millions of years of honing, it embodies a ’return to simplicity’ and ’heavy sword without edge’ philosophy."

"While most priests look down on so-called Martial Fighters, reaching its pinnacle might not be much inferior to the combat power of High-level Priests. It’s just extraordinarily arduous to cultivate. I’ve heard that some High-level Priests, upon reaching a certain level, will specifically learn martial arts to temper their muscles and bones, compensating for their body’s defensive deficiencies.

Of course, you need not spend too much effort; it’s just temporarily a skill for self-defense and concealing your identity."
