Light Cultivation
Eps. 291 — Deep Power Flow
"Dad, what do you think about the swordsman in the Empire, being able to fight against the three King Realms together at once is definitely not an indiscriminate swordsman..."
The Qilin Emperor did not hide his anxiety, the reason he still wanted to attack the Dragon Empire was because of the orders from his father as well.
Yu Zhong, the father of the Qilin Emperor from the previous generation seemed still calm after hearing the report, although he admitted the news about the mysterious swordsman had left him a little surprised.
"Not to be thought about, maybe he is indeed strong to the point of being able to fight against the three King Realms at once but that will not be enough to face all of us. I'll also intervene in the war..."
Yu Zhong said that the incident about the swordsman was not to be questioned because he would act if the mysterious swordsman appeared.
After all, regardless of the average strength and number of warriors possessed, the Qilin Empire was superior to the Dragon Empire.
Seeing his father's confidence, the Qilin Emperor was relieved, he certainly knew his father's true strength, the Phoenix Empire alone would be disinclined if it wanted to fight him.

To go to Donghu City, it was actually not too far away let alone Jian Chen and Jian Ya going there by flying yet there was one thing that made both movements slow.
Jian Ya might be able to fly but the amount of power in his possession was still relatively small for a Hampa Realm swordsman so within two hours Jian Ya would ask for a break first.
Jian Chen did not bother about it as he did not rush to his destination either, but Jian Ya still apologized to him for feeling like an obstacle on the way.
"Not necessarily feel guilty, wouldn't it be better to enjoy the journey, it also looks awesome..." Jian Chen smiled gently before turning his head towards the waterfall in front of him.
Jian Chen and Jian Ya this time descended on the riverbank right in the middle of the forest being, not far from them landing there was a towering waterfall. Jian Chen said so that Jian Ya would not have to rush to gather her drained inner power, he did not want the girl to feel pressured.
While waiting for Jian Ya to fill his inner strength, Jian Chen tried to practice gathering energy in Yin.
"Hm, I thought you'd give up on the Yin's inner strength but it seems like you're still learning the technique?" Lily asked in astonishment.
"I just want to train him, who knows the future will be important..."
Jian Chen of course understood his body could not store energy in Yin but at least he honed the technique even more deeply. After all, even if he could only use five minutes, it was more than enough for him to feel the energy in Yin.
The energy within Yin was indeed very different and might make Jian Chen addicted to feeling it.
"Why bother practicing, isn't that girl the answer you're looking for. Considering she likes you too why don't you... I mean just do it like that, you know what I mean, that's a lot..."
Jian Chen snorted in annoyance, Lily obviously underestimated her state too much.
"Hey, I'm just giving you advice so don't get mad. Don't you don't want to marry her, isn't that too bad considering you have feelings for her too."
Jian Chen chuckled in annoyance, "Can you shut up, I'm in need of concentration to absorb the energy in Yin, you're making me a little distracted..."
"And for the wedding..." Jian Chen opened his eyes. "I will be responsible for every feeling I make, if I don't intend to marry her then I won't approach her from the beginning..."
Lily smiled at the reply, knowing Jian Chen had his own way of expressing his feelings.
Lily then turned her gaze towards Jian Ya who was not far from Jian Chen sitting down, the girl was cross-legged while recovering her inner strength.
From the very beginning, Lily realized the girl's body was very special and rare to encounter.
Jian Ya was now absorbing the essence of nature to obtain the power within Yang whereas according to Lily, the girl could also absorb the energy within the Yin within her body.
Without having to ask, Lily then explained the privilege of Jian Ya's body to Jian Chen who instantly made the young man react.
"Are you saying, he can store energy in Yin and Yang simultaneously?!" Jian Chen was shocked after Lily told him. "Eh? Aren't you like that too?"
Lily shook her head slowly. "You're wrong, the opposite of you I can't keep the essence of nature into my body as well as the other fairies, my dantian has been designed from birth to absorb the essence of the sky..."
The reason the human race like Jian Chen was unable to store energy in the Yin of his body was because Jian Chen's dantian was intended to absorb the essence of nature, while Lily is in the opposite condition where she cannot absorb Yang's energy into her body.
The case of Jian Ya was a different matter, he could store the energy in Yin and Yang simultaneously within his dantian.
This meant that Jian Ya could combine the power in Yin and Yang when he fought or used a stance.
"When the forces in Yin and Yang are used in unison then every power he releases has a tremendous effect, he said, not to overdo it in the future he will become an unparalleled ruler in this universe..."
Jian Chen scratched his head, he felt in this part Lily's explanation was too exaggerated but he also did not comment anything and chose to listen to it until the end.
There are many factors to judge the abilities of a swordsman, inner strength is only one of them while fighting techniques and experience are equally important to assess.
"So that's why you're urging me to do that so that I can use the energy in Yin and Yang together?" Jian Chen then asked.
"Using the energy in Yin and Yang simultaneously also has a great risk of doing so, at least you have a high control in controlling the energy in."
"What about me? Aren't I already an expert at using deep energy?"
"You? With your abilities..." Lily clucked slowly followed by a headband. "I admit you're an expert at controlling the inner power but in my eyes, you're nothing more than a child who's just walking."
Jian Chen smiled wryly, he did not expect his ability with the girl to be too far apart even though he was very confident with his inner power control ability.
Lily said that Jian Chen should forget about controlling the two streams of energy in Yin and Yang at once, for now it was better to get the energy in Yin first or increase his cultivation.
As Jian Chen said, the inner energy was not the only one that was calculated in the martial world.
