Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 131, Annihilate the Blood Hand Association

After reading the books on the shelf, Chu Ming only took half a day to imprint the entire secret manual of the "Shadowless Sword" into his mind. Then, he put the book back on the shelf, turned around, and left the Cyan Yang Hall.

After Chu Ming left, a wave of soul power gently swept through the hall, detecting that no one was there anymore, and returned to silence.

Leaving the Cyan Yang Hall, Chu Ming strolled down from the peak of Cyan Yang and felt the peaceful atmosphere of Cyan Yang Sect. He sighed softly, born in worry, perish in comfort. It was really difficult for a martial artist to make progress while always staying within the sect.

Only by seeing the vast world outside, the ambitions in a martial artist’s heart can truly be realized.

Chu Ming returned to his small courtyard from a small path halfway up the mountain. Because it had been uninhabited for a few days, a lot of dust had accumulated.

He summoned several bustling disciples to help clean up and gave them a few spirit stones upon leaving, which made them overjoyed instantly. A bustling disciple had no way to receive spirit stones from the sect; only by becoming an outer sect disciple could one be eligible to receive spirit stones, thus considered a part of the sect.

After the bustling disciples left, Chu Ming stood quietly in the courtyard, holding the Blue Red Sword slightly tilted. The blade glistened as he continuously recalled the introduction to the "Shadowless Sword" in his mind.

The Shadowless Sword is divided into four techniques! Each technique is two to three times more powerful than the previous one.

First Technique, Shadowless Burn.

Second Technique, Shadowless Kill.

Third Technique, Shadowless Night Travel.

Fourth Technique, Shadow Splitting Thousand Break Slash.

Regarding the first three techniques, Li Yuqing once performed them during the competition between Cyan Yang Sect and Celestial Star Sect. Although Li Yuqing hadn’t mastered the first three techniques to perfection, she had reached a great level of success.

The power displayed was indeed formidable.

Although Chu Ming had simulated the techniques in his mind countless times while reading the secret manual, actually practicing them now still posed some difficulties.

"First Technique, Shadowless Burn."

Chu Ming swung his sword, and a thin black line crossed through space. Suddenly, a rootless fire burned on the blade, instantly engulfing the sword, with raging flames seemingly about to devour the surrounding space.

The dark night flow, like a deep stream in a dark corridor, gradually dissipated in mid-air, the spiritual power scattered, and the pressure vanished. freewebnøvel.com

"Keep trying!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. He never expected to succeed on the first attempt. Even a Life and Death Realm King couldn’t master a martial technique in one go.

Another sword swing, in an instant, shadows filled the small courtyard, and the power of sword intent enveloped the entire courtyard, sharp and cold.

...

The power of concentration is strong, let alone Chu Ming who possesses Guiyuan Realm soul power. In his eyes, the secrets of the Shadowless Sword were being slowly unveiled.

On the first day, Shadowless Burn was mastered.

On the third day, Shadowless Kill was mastered.

On the sixth day, Shadowless Night Travel was mastered.

On the tenth day, Shadow Splitting Thousand Break Slash was mastered.

In ten days, Chu Ming had mastered all the techniques of the Shadowless Sword, like a sword dao master immersed in the craft for years.

After mastering the Shadowless Sword to perfection, Chu Ming did not end his seclusion. Instead, he used his contribution points to exchange for a large number of Spirit Enhancement Pills.

As the name suggests, Spirit Enhancement Pills increase the spiritual power reserves within a martial artist’s dantian. Compared to the Spirit Gathering Pill, the Spirit Enhancement Pill is undoubtedly of a higher grade; one pill can save Chu Ming ten days of arduous cultivation.

At his current level, Spirit Gathering Pills have no effect anymore. Each Spirit Enhancement Pill costs ten thousand contribution points.

In the past, Chu Ming might not have directly used contribution points for such exchanges, but now, planning to travel and leave the Great Yan Kingdom, keeping contribution points wouldn’t serve any purpose. Using them to enhance his strength was more appropriate.

He exchanged fifty Spirit Enhancement Pills at once, costing fifty thousand contribution points.

Swallowing one, Chu Ming’s meridians were instantly filled with abundant spiritual power, circulating through his body five times before finally gathering at his dantian, enhancing the spiritual power within.

Without stopping, one pill after another entered Chu Ming’s body, increasing his spiritual power. With five pills, Chu Ming reached the early peak of the Eighth Layer of the Transcendence Realm.

With twenty pills, Chu Ming reached the middle stage of the Eighth Layer of the Transcendence Realm.

After consuming fifty pills, his cultivation reached the late stage of the Eighth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, with his inner spiritual power increasing by two layers compared to before.

At this point, consuming more Spirit Enhancement Pills would not have the original significant effect. After all, Spirit Enhancement Pills are not all-powerful, and now, further exchange for them is not worthwhile.

Chu Ming took out middle grade spirit stones and started cultivating. With the improvement in his strength, his speed of absorbing spiritual power from the middle grade spirit stones had also increased significantly.

Originally, it took five days to absorb the spiritual power from a middle grade spirit stone completely. Now, it only took two days to absorb all the spiritual power within.

One after another middle grade spirit stone shattered, with all its spiritual power absorbed by Chu Ming. Another half month passed, and Chu Ming’s strength reached the peak of the Eighth Layer of the Transcendence Realm.

At this moment, Chu Ming wanted to continue cultivating, but he was interrupted by a white-clothed steward. He felt a bit annoyed initially, but upon learning that the sect leader had important matters to discuss, his annoyance dissipated immediately.

Cyan Yang Hall,

Usually deserted and sparsely populated Cyan Smoke Hall was not the same at this moment. Tens of inner sect elders and nearly a hundred outer sect elders all wore solemn expressions, reverently looking at the elderly figure amidst the white clouds in the sky, whose majestic presence persisted for a long time.

When Chu Ming arrived in front of the Cyan Yang Hall, five to six inner sect disciples were already standing on either side of the hall, not daring to show any slackness.

Due to the Celestial Flame Secret Realm trip, half of the core disciples perished within it. The original top five on the Cyan Yang List automatically became core disciples, although their strength slightly decreased, but with the help of the secret realm’s gains, the impact wasn’t significant.

"A few days ago, the sect leaders of the five sects secretly met. We found traces of the Blood Hand Association in the Black Mountain Range. Today, we gathered everyone to decide that the ancestor will lead and cooperate with the other four sects, to eliminate the Blood Hand Association members in the Black Mountain Range!"

Cyan Yang Sect’s sect leader, Guan Chengzhi, had a solemn expression, his words powerful and resonant, spreading across the entire Cyan Yang Peak’s summit, exuding a certain influence.

"Uncle Qing! Please, bear the burden!"

After speaking, Guan Chengzhi respectfully addressed the white figure in the sky. He couldn’t afford to be disrespectful; a Guiyuan Realm expert was the true foundation of Cyan Yang Sect. Even if Cyan Yang Sect were destroyed, as long as Guiyuan Realm experts survived, Cyan Yang Sect still existed.

Conversely, if all Guiyuan Realm experts of Cyan Yang Sect perished, then Cyan Yang Sect would truly be a mere name with no substance.
