Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1376 - 1373: Sword Dao Enlightenment!

The onlookers eagerly anticipating the peak confrontation were taken aback when they saw Li Chen and Shen Lang not directly engage in combat, but instead celebrate with drinks and discuss life.

The distance was considerable, and various restrictions were in place between them.

As a result, no one could guess what exactly they were discussing.

"What is going on? Are Sword God Shen Lang and Li Chen old acquaintances?"

"Who knows what’s happening? Are they going to fight or not? My neck is getting stiff from waiting."

Bai Huaxiang observed the scene, and her pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

"Shen Lang seems to be having an enlightenment!"

Hearing Wan Baihuaxiang’s words, everyone present was taken aback.

Enlightenment is something everyone yearns for but rarely attains.

If regular cultivation is a process of quantitative change,

then enlightenment is a process of qualitative change.

The entire process may happen in an instant, but once enlightenment truly occurs, it is a qualitative breakthrough.

It’s akin to the process of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly.

Although they did not know why Shen Lang had an enlightenment at this critical moment,

it was not difficult to surmise that this event had much to do with Li Chen.

Thinking of this, they looked at Li Chen’s lofty and awe-inspiring back and were filled with reverence and admiration.

Just a few words could lead to Sword God Shen Lang’s enlightenment; it was simply incredible!

"Senior sister, do you think Li Chen might attack when Master is having his enlightenment?"

A disciple of Divine Sword Mountain, with a tone of concern, asked Shen Mengxi beside her.

However, before she finished speaking, Shen Mengxi replied with absolute certainty.

"He won’t. He’s not that kind of person!"

Seeing Shen Mengxi so confident, the disciple felt it inappropriate to pursue the question further.

In fact, not only disciples of Divine Sword Mountain had this concern, but most others did as well.

After all, the process of transformation is when one is most vulnerable.

If Li Chen were to strike at this critical moment, Shen Lang would undoubtedly lose.

However, from beginning to end, Li Chen showed no intention of attacking.

Not only did he refrain from attacking, but he also took the initiative to protect Shen Lang, shielding him from all external disturbances, allowing him to focus entirely on his enlightenment.

Thus, from dawn till midday!

And from midday till dusk!

Not until the sun set did Shen Lang suddenly open his eyes, they gleamed brilliantly, rivaling the glow of sunset.

"After searching a thousand times amidst the crowd, I suddenly turned, and there he was, in the waning light. I’ve understood, I’ve understood!"

With Shen Lang’s exclamation of joy, his Sword Intent and aura began surging upwards like sesame blooming on the stalk.

Until it peaked and in one go, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, he reached a brand new realm.

Li Chen, observing, offered Shen Lang a serene smile.

"Congratulations, you’ve had an enlightenment on the path of Sword Dao!"

Shen Lang suppressed his inner elation, casting a grateful glance at Li Chen.

"Without your guidance, I wouldn’t have realized enlightenment so quickly!"

In response, Li Chen modestly shook his head with a smile.

"Even without me, with your accomplishments in Sword Dao, you would certainly have realized an enlightenment; it was only a matter of time."

Shen Lang smiled and said: "No matter what, I still owe you thanks!"

Li Chen glanced at the reddish clouds and said: "Now, our duel should commence!"

Shen Lang shook his head and replied: "There’s no need to compete!"

Li Chen, surprised, cast a questioning look at him.

Shen Lang, gazing at Li Chen, spoke earnestly: "In terms of Sword Dao acumen, I am not your equal. Today, without your pointers, I would not have gained enlightenment!"

Li Chen, with a slightly bitter smile, said: "But if we don’t have a match, it would feel like an unearned victory!"

This time, it was Shen Lang’s turn to be surprised.

He stared at Li Chen for a long moment and asked: "With your current realm in Sword Dao, you must have reached a state of complete focus, not caring for worldly eyes?"

Li Chen shook his head and responded: "That’s not the case, but I’m very eager to see how powerful your Sword Dao is now?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Shen Lang first reacted with surprise, then burst into hearty laughter.

"In that case, I’ll risk it all to accompany you for a good duel!"

After saying this, Li Chen and Shen Lang faced each other in the air, just as they had initially.

Just moments ago, they were calmly conversing, yet now they seemed like different people, with deep and bright eyes filled with unmatched Sword Intent.

In a flash!

The withered leaves on the edge of the cliff were swept up by the mountain wind, dancing gracefully between Li Chen and Shen Lang.

Just as this leaf stopped in the center of Li Chen and Shen Lang’s line of sight, a peerless Sword Intent burst from their eyes.

"Snap!"

Alas, the poor leaf was instantly shredded to powder by their unparalleled Sword Intent, scattering with the wind into nothingness.

A sudden gleam of Sword Light flashed in Shen Lang’s eyes.

When this Sword Light condensed into a pinpoint-sized light, he suddenly drew his sword.

The sword sang with a sound like dragon roars!

Vaguely, one could hear the faint sound of space shattering, yet no sword light could be seen.

At the same time, Li Chen’s figure also blurred, disappearing into thin air.

Immediately afterward, the spot where he had been standing was ripped by a ferocious, unmatched Sword Intent, leaving a chasm of indeterminable depth.

Moreover, this rift extended outward, leaving a deep sword mark on the cliff a distance away.

Upon witnessing this, everyone present was stunned, mouths agape.

No one could have anticipated that after Shen Lang’s enlightenment, his Sword Dao prowess could reach such a terrifying level. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Master Tianyin’s deep eyes involuntarily dulled, like a burnt-out meteor.

Originally, he and Shen Lang were evenly matched.

Back then, he lost to Shen Lang by merely half a move.

Now, witnessing the sword Shen Lang unleashed after enlightenment, he realized in his heart.

He would no longer be a match for him!

To conceal his inner disappointment, Master Tianyin clasped his hands together, solemnly reciting a Buddhist chant.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

As for the disciples of Divine Sword Mountain, upon seeing their Sect Leader have an enlightenment in Sword Dao, they were ecstatic, with many openly embracing each other regardless of propriety.

But there was one exception!

And that was Shen Mengxi.

Shen Lang was her father. She was naturally happier than anyone for his enlightenment.

Yet in her clear-as-water eyes was a ripple not easily noticed by others.

This was worry for Li Chen!

Currently, her emotions were conflicting.

Her heart was both overjoyed and anxious...

Let me explain the origin of the name Shen Mengxi.

The author, by chance, saw Shen Kuo’s "Mengxi Notes" in the library and was captivated by the beauty of the name ’Mengxi’. Coupled with the fact that this book was authored by Shen Kuo, hence the name Shen Mengxi, unlike the character in the game Arena of Valor.

Tomorrow marks a new month, the last month of 2018. May you have a joyful weekend and draw a perfect end to 2018. Thank you all for your support along the way, thank you!
