Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 806 - 780: Breakthrough, Second Layer of the Earthly Realm

Chapter 806: Chapter 780: Breakthrough, Second Layer of the Earthly Realm

The Liu Family’s holy land has always had many legends, and indeed, some people have gained something in the Liu Family’s holy land.

Of course, that is extremely rare; if the Liu Family’s holy land were truly so formidable, it might attract countless visitors seeking to marvel at it. The so-called holy land, in fact, has long become very weathered, with only some remnants left.

Standing before the broken walls, looking at the strange pattern sculptures on them, some of which have been eroded by time and are quite damaged.

Some depict a figure wielding a sword, seemingly performing a set of swordsmanship. Others show someone punching, some sitting in meditation, and others appearing to practice a secret technique.

Upon reaching the Earthly Realm, one can start cultivating some ancient secret techniques. Of course, ancient secret techniques are extremely difficult to cultivate, and very few forces possess them. Even in Myriad Saints Valley, those ancient secret techniques are not easily taught. Regular inner sect disciples cannot easily learn them either. At least, one must have reached the fourth layer of the Earthly Realm to be qualified to start touching ancient secret techniques.

Once mastered, an ancient secret technique grants a qualitative leap in power, a rapid advancement incomparable to previous achievements. This is what Tangyu yearns for now.

Tangyu looked intently and seriously at the patterns on the broken walls. Having learned Yin Yang Swordsmanship from Elder Bai, Tangyu focused mainly on the swordsmanship figures. Vaguely, he felt a stir in his heart, as if something had been withdrawn from within him, a very mystical feeling.

"The carvings on these patterns are likely a profound swordsmanship technique, even capable of transforming swordsmanship into an ancient secret technique, making its power incredibly fearsome. Unfortunately, it is too fragmented, and after countless years, the original essence of these patterns has faded," Tangyu thought to himself.

Yin Yang Swordsmanship is relatively advanced; once cultivated successfully, its power is definitely not inferior to an ancient secret technique.

While ordinary Kung Fu from the secular world might still be somewhat useful, its power is not impressive. After reaching the Earthly Realm, relying on secular techniques offers no advantage at all. At the Earthly Realm, one is considered a master in the Ancient Martial Realm, qualified to access truly advanced elements of the Ancient Martial World.

The Innate Realm is just an apprentice level for laying the foundation.

Tangyu moved, and the light sword appeared in his hand. He closed his eyes in contemplation for a moment, then suddenly moved. The light sword in his hand seemed to transform into a lively fish. What Tangyu was practicing were the techniques depicted in the patterns on the broken walls.

Of course, Tangyu did not intend to learn these techniques as they appeared useless. He practiced them to deeply understand their intricacies and explore the artistic conception within them.

Tangyu felt these patterns might aid his Yin Yang Swordsmanship. Fully comprehending them might elevate his Yin Yang Swordsmanship to a higher level, significantly boosting his power.

Tangyu’s actions naturally drew the attention of many onlookers.

Gong Xinyue’s gaze landed on Tangyu with some amazement. Could he be gaining some insight from these broken walls?

Women have a sense of curiosity. At this moment, Gong Xinyue was quite curious about Tangyu. This curiosity might develop into interest in him; if it deepens further, it might turn into affection.

This is a process of transformation; admiration and curiosity often serve as the best means.

"Like a fish in water, a fish swimming in water is like a person walking on land. A fish on land is like a person in water. Why is there such a difference here?"

"It’s because humans belong on land, while fish belong in water. Air is essential for humans, and water is essential for fish. Yin and Yang complement each other. The white fish and black fish, head to tail, form a crescent shape, presenting the Yin Yang state."

"One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. This is the Yin Yang Path."

"Yin Yang Swordsmanship incorporates the mysteries of the Yin Yang Path into it, making the sword blend into the space like a fish into water, allowing the sword to be wielded freely, stirring the heavens, triggering Yin and Yang, thus elevating Yin Yang Swordsmanship to a terrifying artistic conception."

"The truly formidable aspect is not the sword or the moves you execute, but the artistic conception imbued in your sword intent, the power of heaven and earth it carries. Ancient secret techniques, unlike ordinary secular martial arts, encompass all, bringing out deeper layers of this world. The Yin Yang Great Path, the artistic conception of heaven and earth, and some mysterious powers are all brought forth, forming the terrifying might of secret techniques. If relying purely on the sword’s strength, it would be empty power, form without substance."

"Like the Tai Chi principle of using four taels to move a thousand catties, it is not about the use of strength but overcoming rigidity with softness, an application of the Yin Yang Path. Isn’t Yin Yang Swordsmanship exactly so?"

A smile appeared on Tangyu’s lips. At this moment, his mind was completely clear, and his heart was enlightened. A new door opened for him. He had comprehended some secrets of the Ancient Martial World.

Once he had this comprehension, the path ahead would obviously become much easier. Once on the right track, progression would no longer be so difficult.

The sword in Tangyu’s hand suddenly became bizarre. The successive strikes of the Yin Yang Swordsmanship were sometimes as fast as lightning, leaving no trace in the air, silent and terrifying.

Other times, they were thunderous and imposing, like the collapse of heaven and earth, overwhelming with a terrifying might akin to a tidal wave of ten thousand forces.

At times, it combined rigidity with softness, seamlessly blending hard and soft, unpredictably changing, dazzling the eyes.

Tangyu didn’t use Spiritual Immortal Power, he merely practiced Yin Yang Swordsmanship with his physical strength. But even so, the swordsmanship he demonstrated stunned everyone, causing all eyes to fall upon him.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this? Why does it feel so terrifying?"

"Indeed, this is terrifying, isn’t it? It feels comparable to Ancient Secret Techniques. Is it possible that such exquisite swordsmanship exists in the mundane world? I’m truly ignorant."

"Amazing, this is too amazing. Is his strength really only at the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm? Why do I suspect it’s at the Earthly Realm?"

"I also suspect it’s at the Earthly Realm, but it doesn’t make sense. How could a young prodigy at the Earthly Realm stoop to participate in the Myriad Immortals Conference? At the Earthly Realm, he would be an Inner Sect Disciple of Myriad Saints Valley, with a status far beyond ours."

Gong Xinyue and the other two girls were also staring at Tangyu with wide eyes, seemingly showing a bit of admiration.

Liang Youshan and his two companions were filled with admiration and respect. Liang Youshan grinned, "Boss is indeed the boss, it seems he’s about to break through again."

After practicing for a while, Tangyu finally put away his sword, a broader smile appearing on his face, "It’s done. I finally managed to practice Yin Yang Swordsmanship to seventy or eighty percent of its potential, but I feel it’s far from perfection. To be honest, even what Sister Bai demonstrated isn’t perfect. This Yin Yang Swordsmanship is truly peculiar, it can induce the forces of heaven and earth and stir the principles of the Yin Yang Path. My strength has increased by at least double, and my realm has broken through by one layer, reaching the Second Layer of the Earthly Realm."

"Haha, who would have thought that a moment of enlightenment would advance my strength so rapidly, much better than a month’s seclusion."

Tangyu felt extremely elated. Not only had his Yin Yang Swordsmanship reached a higher level, but his realm had also advanced by one stage, reaching the Second Layer of the Earthly Realm.

These dual breakthroughs had more than doubled Tangyu’s strength. To be conservative, it had at least doubled. In this realm, doubling strength is an intimidating concept. In other words, if Tangyu were to face his previous self, he could probably defeat him with one sword stroke.

The effect of the enhancement was indeed terrifying.

Of course, breaking from the First Layer to the Second Layer of the Earthly Realm so quickly was mainly because Tangyu had been cultivating the "Immortal Nine Heavens Technique." The foundation laid by days of cultivation, combined with the artistic conception breakthrough just now, had invisibly attracted a large amount of Immortal Spirit Qi, all of which was absorbed by Tangyu, allowing him to break through to the Second Layer of the Earthly Realm in one go.

"Haha, boss, congratulations," Liang Youshan was the first to step forward and congratulate him.

Wang Wei and Wu Fei also followed with their congratulations.

Tangyu pouted and smiled, "Stay calm, keep a low profile. It’s just a small breakthrough, nothing special."

Such pretentious words made many people feel an urge to have the heavens strike this guy with lightning.

Gong Xinyue and her two companions also came forward. "Tangyu, congratulations."

"It’s nothing, nothing worth congratulating," Tangyu waved his hand dismissively. Since he was pretending, he had to go all the way to show his grandeur.

"It’s just a breakthrough. Look how calm I am," Tangyu continued, "The carvings on this stone wall are pretty good. Everyone should reflect on them. You might gain something."

But Tangyu also knew that these carvings contained some of the principles of heaven and earth and some artistic conceptions. For Ancient Martial Artists of the Innate Realm to gain anything from them was improbable. Only those at the Earthly Realm might gain some insight and realize some mysteries.

However, it was better to look at them more carefully.

Tangyu’s gaze turned to other carvings. He couldn’t care less about the murmurs and discussions around him.

Several figures approached Tangyu, soon reaching his back. Tangyu raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit annoyed by the interruption. Three people stood before him. The leader appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, while the other two were at least twenty-five or twenty-six. Their matching attire clearly indicated they were from the same faction.

"Tangyu, right? Sorry to bother you, but may I ask you a question?" The leader said, his tone neither too friendly nor too hostile, flat and cold.

This tone made Tangyu uncomfortable, so he directly responded, "No time, go away and don’t bother me."

The leader’s face darkened at these words. He then asked, "Did you go to the Snow Mountain about a month ago?"
