I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 395 - 322: Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual

Chapter 395: Chapter 322: Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual

In the early morning of the next day, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, the Sword Observation Pavilion was already filled with a faint aroma of tea and the presence of Dao Rhyme.

Miao Shan personally brewed the first pot of Enlightenment Tea, the tea broth was as green as jade, and amidst the swirling steam, tiny, shimmering lights were floating.

She placed the teacups in front of Chen Sheng and Chen Xihua, then stepped back with a smile, playing with a piece of Warm Jade in her hands, her gaze carrying a hint of anticipation.

Chen Xihua took a deep breath and retrieved an ancient bronze box from the Storage Ring.

The box was about the size of a palm, with Five Elements Runes engraved on its surface, where the lights of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth cycled and flowed within the runes, subtly forming a mini Five Elements Array.

The box felt warm to the touch, and even before it was opened, a majestic Sword Dao pressure emanated, causing the surrounding air to grow heavier.

"Fellow Daoist Life-Annihilating, please take a look."

Chen Xihua gently pushed the bronze box toward Chen Sheng, his tone carrying a certain solemnity:

"This is the core inheritance left by Miao Shan’s ancestor, the Void Refining Perfection Great Power, Ancestor Miao Yuan—The Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual."

"The ancestor once fused the Five Elements Dao Principle with the Sword Dao to create an unparalleled sword skill that can terminate all things, even among the Void Refining Great Powers, it’s considered top-tier."

"Your Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword, capable of generating and extinguishing all things, shares a philosophical connection with it; this Sword Manual will certainly be of benefit to you."

Chen Sheng’s gaze fell on the bronze box, clearly perceiving the substantial power of inheritance within, the Five Elements Runes resonating subtly with the Yin Yang Dao Principle within him.

Without an ounce of pretense, he slightly nodded: "In that case, it would be impolite of me to decline."

Seeing Chen Sheng accept confidently, Chen Xihua and the beside him Miao Shan both showed expressions of relief.

But before they could speak, Chen Sheng also took out an ancient scroll from the Storage Ring.

The ancient scroll was made from the tanned hide of an unknown Demon Beast, a dark golden color, with a star map sprawling across its surface, blue-gray Void Runes flowing between the stars.

The moment it was unfolded, a vast Aura of the Void surged forth, as if witnessing the tumultuous tides of the void.

"Fellow Daoist Xihua, you gifted me your Sword Dao inheritance, so I also have something to offer."

Chen Sheng pushed the ancient scroll toward Chen Xihua, his tone calm yet sincere:

"This is the Four Seas Void Atlas left by the Four Seas Wanderer, it follows the path of Void Tides, ranking High Grade."

"The atlas not only records the Subtle Techniques of Void Escape and Void Defense but also contains insights into the kill move ’Tidal Rift,’ which can certainly enhance your path."

This inheritance of the Four Seas Wanderer did not align with Chen Sheng’s Dao Principles, offering little benefit to him, but it was quite suitable for Chen Xihua instead.

Chen Sheng had wanted to find an opportunity to gift this inheritance to him, but had never found a suitable moment, and now was just right.

As Chen Xihua’s eyes alighted on the Void Runes on the ancient scroll, his pupils suddenly contracted, filled with shock and excitement, making it impossible for him to refuse.

He looked up at Chen Sheng and, with a wry smile, shook his head:

"I intended to repay my life-debt to you from years ago with The Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual, I never thought I’d end up owing you another great favor."

"This Four Seas Void Atlas is too fitting for me, with it, my Void Sword Dao can at least advance another level!"

Chen Sheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth:

"What you said is not quite right, Fellow Daoist."

"You first gifted me the core inheritance of a Void Refining Great Power, I merely passed on an inheritance useless to me to you, like adding a little extra icing on the cake, nothing more than that, hardly a favor."

"Besides, we’ve known each other for hundreds of years, shared life and death, some mutual support in inheritance is only right."

Chen Xihua looked at Chen Sheng’s straightforward expression, then at the smiling and nodding Miao Shan beside him, deeply moved beyond words. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He carefully stored the Four Seas Void Atlas into the Storage Ring, lifted his teacup and saluted Chen Sheng from afar:

"Good! Then I won’t pretend. With the reinforcement of these dual inheritances, the strength of our Sword Dao will undoubtedly soar."

"Seven years from now, at the Three Extremes Dao Assembly, we must let those Major Sect Disciples see that Loose Cultivators have their own splendor!"

Chen Sheng also raised his cup in response, as the tea entered his throat, the fresh aroma mingled with the Dao Rhyme of inheritance, making both their Dao Hearts more transparent.

Miao Shan, observing the camaraderie between these two treasured friends, her eyes were filled with cheerful appreciation—two inheritances, in exchange for two friendships, the outcome couldn’t be better.

...

When Chen Sheng returned to the courtyard arranged for him at Chen Xihua’s residence, it was almost noon.

This courtyard, though not large, occupied a node of the Spirit Vein, with a few "Calming Heart Bamboo" planted within. The bamboo shadows swayed, and Spiritual Qi lingered.

Deep within the courtyard, the secret chamber was exquisitely arranged. The walls were inlaid with "Spirit Gathering Crystals," and the ground was engraved with the "Nine Revolutions Enlightenment Array," making it an excellent place for cultivation.

As soon as he stepped into the secret chamber, he set up three soundproof restrictions with a flip of his hand, ensuring the enlightenment process would not be disturbed.

He flipped his fingers, and the Bronze Box gifted by Chen Xihua appeared in the palm of his hand. The five energies cycled and flowed, faintly resonating with the Five Elements Principle between heaven and earth.

With the power of his Primordial Spirit, Chen Sheng slowly activated the box lid. There was no anticipated obstacle. With a click, the bronze box opened.

A brilliant five-colored beam shot up from the box, condensing into a Five Elements Mutual Generation and Destruction Dao Principle Atlas on the ceiling of the secret chamber.

Beneath the atlas, a Sword Manual woven from Five Elements Spiritual Silk hovered in the air; it was the "Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual."

The Sword Manual had no physical pages; it was composed of countless tiny Five Elements Runes, with Dao Principles flowing between them.

Upon contact, a vast ocean of insights surged into Chen Sheng’s Primordial Spirit.

"The Five Elements are the foundation of heaven and earth; the Sword Dao is the weapon of slaughter; the fusion of Five Elements and sword can bring life and annihilation, can achieve and conclude..."

Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, his Primordial Spirit completely immersed, increasingly amazed the more he read, increasingly delighted the more he comprehended.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements share the same origin; Yin and Yang are the nature of heaven and earth, the Five Elements are the essence of heaven and earth, and the two are interdependent and indispensable.

The method of "Five Elements Unity" recorded in the Sword Manual takes the Five Elements Dao Principle as the foundation, fusing the intent of the Sword Dao’s slaughter, ultimately condensing into the Dao that concludes all things.

This is remarkably similar to the "Annihilation" principle in his Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword.

"So it is! Yin and Yang can generate the Five Elements, the Five Elements can return to Yin and Yang, and Annihilation is not merely destruction, but the natural conclusion after the cycle of the Five Elements reaches its utmost!"

A spark of Spirit Light suddenly flashed in Chen Sheng’s heart. When previously comprehending the Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword, he always felt the "Annihilation" realm lacked foundational support.

Now, with the "Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual" as a reference, he was suddenly enlightened, as if seeing a clear path forward.

Using the Yin Yang Dao Principle as the guide and the Five Elements Principle as the reference, with the guide and reference aligned, he could elevate the Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword to a higher level.

He recalled Chen Xihua’s words that this Void Refining Perfection Great Power spent his life researching the fusion of Five Elements and Sword Dao.

For Chen Xihua, who primarily practiced the Path of Void Destruction Sword, only the commonalities of "conclusion" and "destruction" in the Sword Manual could provide him with a reference, sharpening his killing moves to the limit.

But for Chen Sheng, the complete context in the Sword Manual from the generation to the conclusion of the Five Elements precisely filled the blank of his fusion of the Yin Yang Dao Principle and Sword Dao, almost tailor-made as his guiding beacon.

"This method, for me, is indeed a great fortune, but relying solely on my own comprehension, the efficiency is still too low."

A hint of contemplation flashed in Chen Sheng’s eyes, followed by the movement of his Heart Spirit.

...

At the same time, in the Celestial Abyss Realm, in the Great Wilderness Demon Court, the current Roc Demon Venerable awoke from the operation of heaven and earth with a light smile:

"My son Xihua is indeed of uncommon fortune, sending yet another inheritance guide."

"With the Dao Assembly imminent, I shall also join in comprehending this manual’s Five Elements, aiding the Yang Soul."

After advancing to Demon Venerable, his bloodline purified to Saint Grade, bearing the bloodlines of both Roc and Peacock, his affinity for the Dao of the Five Elements surpassed even that of the Yang Soul.

With this in mind, he immediately sat cross-legged, his gaze casting toward the "Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual," the waves of his Primordial Spirit growing increasingly intense.

...

The Yin Yang Dual Souls approached from different angles, synthesizing and integrating their various insights.

In the Spirit Realm, the Spirit Light in the secret chamber grew increasingly dense, with the Five Elements Runes and Yin Yang Spiritual Light intertwining, forming a dazzling cocoon of light around Chen Sheng.

His aura occasionally surged and occasionally subsided, and while the realm of the Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword had not broken through, it became increasingly perfect and profound.

The "Great Five Elements Ultimate Sword Manual" in the air gradually transformed into countless runes, merging into his Sea of Consciousness, thoroughly integrating with the Yin Yang Dao Principle.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a Spirit Light of black, white, and five colors interweaving in his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, a Yin Yang Sword Qi imbued with the Five Elements Principle surged out, striking the test stone on the wall of the secret chamber. The stone’s surface was unmarred, yet internally, it had been completely annihilated by the Sword Qi, turning to dust.

"With the aid of this Sword Manual, perhaps before the assembly, I can, using the Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword as the core, create a set of Swordsmanship that perfectly showcases my strength."
