Eternal Reverence-Chapter 928: Source Connection

Chapter 928: Source Connection

In the manor, there was a small lake and it looked just like a mirror without any ripples.

Li Fuchen sat on the lake and his qi presence was like stillwater.

As the Sword Qi Origin Return gradually improved, Li Fuchen gradually understood the process of becoming a heaven lord. It was actually a reassessment of his own sword dao. Just like how an elderly would recall about their past.

There were sudden ripples on the lake, but Li Fuchen was still sitting in the same position. There were multiple figures of himself above the lake and each of the Li Fuchen was executing a sword move. In an instant, there was a burst of sword qi above the lake.

…

On the Swordsmen Guild’s martial stage.

“100 moves!” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess was appalled.

Previously, Li Fuchen was far from being a match for the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord. But this time, he was actually able to last for 100 moves.

Most importantly, Li Fuchen had executed 100 consecutive quasi-supreme sword moves. It meant that his sword move had reached a new level and it wouldn’t exhaust his qi blood source anymore.

Each time the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess executed Red Leaf Wander, it would exhaust a trace of his qi blood source. However, it was very minute, therefore, she didn’t really bother. Of course, unless it was necessary, she wouldn’t casually execute the Red Leaf Wander.

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was even more astonished than the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess. He only knew of Li Fuchen for a short period of time and never personally witnessed Li Fuchen’s exceptional sword dao perception.

“My Wind Cloud Sword Art has a total of five moves. The fourth and fifth moves are both quasi-supreme sword moves. Normally, the fourth move, Sword Heart Wind Cloud is enough to instantly kill any sword dao saint lord. I didn’t think I would need to use the fifth move today.”

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was lamenting but his eyes suddenly flashed with radiance.

For him to be forced to use the fifth move, it meant that his opponent might be on par with him. Such an opponent might allow him to step into the level of a heaven lord at a faster pace.

“Primary Extreme Sword Saint Lord, you have already witnessed the fourth move, Sword Heart Wind Cloud. Next will be the fifth move, Sword Heart Tranquility, you have to be careful.”

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord’s sword started to stir. A terrifying sword intent pierced through layers of space-time and engulfed Li Fuchen within.

When facing this sword move, Li Fuchen could only endure for a few breaths before he was sliced up into a bloody person.

It wasn’t because the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was too ruthless. In fact, if he didn’t hold back, Li Fuchen’s Star Immortal Body wouldn’t be able to resist.

Sword Heart Tranquility was the same as Li Fuchen’s Sword Qi Origin Return. It connected with primal chaos and had the source power.

But as compared to the Sword Qi Origin Return, Sword Heart Tranquility was much closer to becoming a supreme sword art.

“I lost.” Li Fuchen admitted defeat while blood vanished from his body.

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord’s sword move allowed Li Fuchen to see a higher level of sword dao and it opened a new door for him.

Originally, this door would only open after a period of time.

“You are one of the rare few individuals below the heaven lords that could force me to use my fifth sword move.” The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord sighed as he said.

Li Fuchen was moved. Judging on the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord’s tone, there were still other saint lords in the Crosswise River Star Domain that could force him to use his fifth move. However, it was rather logical as the Crosswive River Star Domain was massive and there must be other saint lords that were going through the progression into a heaven lord. It wasn’t possible for the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord to be the only one.

“Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord, In another 100 years, you will be able to become a heaven lord.” The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess took a glance at Li Fuchen and the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord. She involuntarily let out a bitter laugh as her sword dao talent was inferior as compared to the duo.

The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord shook his head. “It isn’t that easy. I might have connected with the source power, but it wouldn’t be that easy to officially step into that level.”

In the distant future, he would definitely be progressing into a heaven lord, but no one knew the exact time required.

With an instant comprehension, he might be able to instantly become a heaven lord. However, it might also need countless years of diligence before he could make it.

…

On the mirror-like lake, Li Fuchen’s heart was clear like the mirror too. He was practicing countless sword arts in his mind.

“Sword Qi Origin Return, so that is what it is.”

Li Fuchen opened his tightly shut eyes and they were extremely bright. It felt like the first glimpse of light during daybreak. It was a light that pierced through darkness and revealed the truth.

Swish!

Countless figures of Li Fuchen were produced. All the figures of Li Fuchen were executing the Sword Qi Origin Return. There was a pure sword intent.

“Sword!”

“Qi!”

“Origin!”

“Return!”

It was unknown when Li Fuchen stood up and when he spoke of the last word, the countless figures of Li Fuchen merged into his body. Immediately after, there was a dazzling sword qi pillar that burst into the sky. It pierced through heaven and reached the universe.

The sword qi pillar was too dazzling and most of the people in the Divine Leaf City had seen it.

“This sword intent?!” The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord and Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess were shocked but they could guess who it was.

“Interesting. After the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord, this is the second swordsman in my Swordsmen Guild to connect with the source.”

Deep inside the Swordsmen Guild, there was a middle-aged man wearing taoist robes that opened his eyes and revealed a smile.

City Lord residence…

The Divine Leaf City Lord was drinking tea.

“Another saint lord connected with the source power? During the recent few ten thousand years, it seems like there is a significant increase in heaven lords in the Crosswise River Star Domain. A new generation is probably arriving.”

With every new heaven lord, a veteran heaven lord would perish.

But when new heaven lords were born but the veteran heaven lords didn’t perish either, it would mean a new generation.

The sword qi pillar reached the ends of the universe’s space-time. A sword dao source power then descended on Li Fuchen’s body through the sword qi pillar.

Sss!

Li Fuchen endured the pain and his voice couldn’t help escaping. It was truly too comfortable when the source power entered his body. From bloodline to source, from spiritual awareness to spirit soul. From top to bottom, inside to outside, it felt as though he was drinking a chilled sour soup for three days.

“It is normal for the sword dao bloodline, qi blood source, and spiritual awareness to be enhanced. I didn’t think my spirit soul would also be enhanced. From the looks of it, a heaven lord’s spirit soul is probably blue in color.” Li Fuchen guessed.

An individual’s spirit soul would rarely be upgraded. During the past years, Li Fuchen had consumed plenty of soul herbs. At first, he was only looking for high-grade soul herbs, but he started to only look for special-grade soul herbs. However, his spirit soul was only 70% red. After reaching 70%, even the consumption of special-grade soul herbs would be useless.

“It is a pity that I only brought in a streak of sword dao source power.”

One streak of sword dao source power wasn’t enough for him to transform, it only allowed him to improve.

After confirming that it was Li Fuchen who connected with the source power, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord invited Li Fuchen for a spar and Li Fuchen gladly accepted.

On a martial stage of the Swordsmen Guild, there were two figures that were repeatedly clashing.

With each clash, there would be an intense void tremor and space-time disruption.

With sword arts that were at the level of Li Fuchen and the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord, it was already able to affect space-time.

If an ordinary person was within the range of their sword arts, even if they weren’t killed by the sword qi, they would die of old age due to the disruption of space-time.

“Sword Heart Tranquility.”

Sensing that Li Fuchen’s strength was already on his level, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord executed the fifth move, Sword Heart Tranquility.

As compared to the previous time, the Sword Heart Tranquility was more profound than before. As the sword stirred, a huge space-time whirlpool appeared. Anyone who was engulfed by the space-time whirlpool would be immediately ripped to nothingness.

“Sword Qi Origin Return.”

Li Fuchen reacted calmly and slashed with the shamanic sword. Primal radiance illuminated the entire place. Even the space-time whirlpool was filled with primal radiance.

Bang!

The space-time whirlpool exploded. Li Fuchen and the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord crossed each other.

Tss!

There was a spurt of fresh blood as the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was injured.

Turning around, the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord was in disbelief as he stared intently at Li Fuchen. It seemed like he was trying to see if Li Fuchen was injured.

The Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess stared at Li Fuchen too.

Li Fuchen turned around and sheathed his sword. He let out a faint smile and said, “I am lucky.”

He wasn’t injured but it didn’t mean that his sword art was superior to the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord.

He was able to avoid the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord’s strongest sword move because he saw through the sword trajectory and dodged it in advance.

Of course, he might be able to dodge this sword move, but if the battle continued, he definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge all of them.

His spirit soul might be able to do it, but his body couldn’t.

There was astonishment on his face first, but the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord smiled and said, “Good, very good. In terms of sword dao, I have never admitted inferiority to anyone. You are the first.”

Be it the Sword Wind Heaven Lord or the White Rainbow Heaven Lord, he only had respect for them, but he wasn’t overly impressed.

In his heart, he knew that he would also reach their level one day. He was only lacking time.

But it was different for Li Fuchen.

He had personally witnessed how Li Fuchen surpassed him within such a short period of time.

It was hard to imagine what level Li Fuchen would reach in the future.

City lord-class heaven lord?

Very possible…

The spars within the trio didn’t just allow Li Fuchen to improve greatly, it also greatly benefited the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord and the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess.

However, the duo never won against Li Fuchen again and they were only able to see Li Fuchen gradually pulling away.

Time passed by…

There was just half a year before the start of the auction in the Silver Moon City. The Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord and the Red Leaf Sword Saint Lordess were also headed for the Silver Moon City.

Originally, they wanted to invite Li Fuchen along. After all, a radiant moon-class auction was a rare chance for any saint lord.

It was a pity that Li Fuchen’s incarnation was already there and he didn’t need to go there personally.

Furthermore, after connecting with the sword dao source power, he had plenty of sword dao comprehension in his mind. He had to digest them as soon as possible.

On this day, an even purer sword qi pillar burst into the sky. Streaks of sword dao source power were descending onto Li Fuchen’s body through the sword qi pillar.

“Nine streaks!” When the sword qi pillar dispersed, Li Fuchen’s eyes were extremely bright.

As compared to before, this time, Li Fuchen brought in nine streaks of sword dao source power. It meant that his sword art proficiency had completely surpassed the Wind Cloud Sword Saint Lord. However, it was still too soon to blast open the gates of the heaven lord’s realm.
