Talisman Emperor
Chapter 920 Self-illumination
The Blood Sword Cave.
Chen Xi's figure appeared at the 60th level.
This was the third time he had come to the Bloodsoul Sword Cave. This was the first time, he could only reach level 60 with his strength, and he nearly lost his life to the Evil Lotus at that time.
The second time was not much different from the first. The only difference was that he discovered the existence of the Dao Lotus and the Evil Lotus and the history part of the Nine Swords Sect Nine.
This time, the goal is simple. He wanted to temper his combat power, search for Chaotic Source Crystals, and refine the quality of the Talisman Armament.
There were only 30 more years left until the betting date between him and Bing Shitian, so he did not carry any great hopes of increasing his strength once again in a short period of 30 plus years, either, and he wholeheartedly wanted to temper his will.
Strength was not equivalent to fighting strength because no matter how much power one possessed, if one was unable to produce this power, it would be useless.
On the other hand, other than holding back through actual combat, the only other method to increase his combat strength was to increase the strength of his weapons.
Chen Xi took a deep breath and did not hesitate to slide into the 61st level of the sword cave.
Swish!
The incomparably powerful Immortal Perception swept over and instantly enveloped level 61, and in a short time, Chen Xi found his opponent.
It was a group of bloodsouls with powers around the 4th level of the Eternal Earth Realm. There were a total of 50 plus of them, and they all had boiling vital blood and an extremely formidable aura.
Especially one of the bloodsouls among them, it was actually wearing a broken battle robe and had an appearance no different from an ordinary person. Moreover, the strength of the bloodsouls was around the 5th level of the Eternal Earth Realm, and it seemed like this level master of the sword intent and exuded an incomparable ferocious aura.
But as for Chen Xi's regret, there were no Chaotic Source Crystals at the 61st level.
"Who's this!?"
"There's actually someone who dares to commit a violation to my territory !?"
"Kill! Kill that bastard from the Nine Radiance Sword Sect! ”
Chen Xi's Immortal Perception was not hidden, so once it swept through this area, it was instantly realized by the bloodied people with power in the Eternal Earth Realm. They immediately turned into many bloody shadows as they attacked Chen Xi.
Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!
Many bloody shadows were filled with terrifying strength like a stretch of whistling bloody clouds, and they quickly appeared within Chen Xi's field of vision.
Although they were many, their strength was still too weak. He did not pull the Talisman Armament and formed a sword with his finger instead before sweeping out horizontally.
Swish!
A blade of sword qi tore through the sky like a shocking ray of light and disappeared in an instant.
Pu's! Pu's! Pu's!
The Bloodsouls didn't even have time to dodge before their entire bodies turned into lumps of bloody rain, and rumbled down from the sky. They arrived quickly and perished even faster.
Even the blood wearing the broken battle robe only emitted a sharp and fiery cry of tribulation before it was slashed into a bloody froth ball that sprayed into the surroundings.
Clangs!
A piece of Chaotic Source Crystal thumb fell from the bloodsouls body, and it was taken by Chen Xi before being removed.
It seemed like the bloodsoul that possessed intelligence really had a very high possibility of carrying a piece of Chaotic Source Crystal.
…
The 62nd level of the sword cave.
69 Level.
78 Level.
…
In just 10 minutes, Chen Xi had already arrived at the level 80 sword cave, and he finally felt the pressure after arriving here.
But for him at the moment, this kind of pressure could practically be ignored.
All the bloodsouls distributed around the 80th level had intelligence, and their strength was even at the 7th level of the Eternal Earth Realm or above. They possessed immense strength and were even skilled in various formidable Dao Arts and Divine Abilities.
Chen Xi was finally a little pleased with this.
He had practically made a clean sweep through the other levels of the sword cave he had gone through before, and he had not experienced the slightest bit of resistance, causing him to have absolutely no chance of exerting his strength. Similarly, it was impossible for those levels to give any kind of temperament to him.
It's thundering!
Soon, the battle erupted.
Over 10 bloodsouls with strength equivalent to the 7th level of the Worldly Immortal Realm surrounded Chen Xi, and they howled while fighting with all their might. The various terrifying Dao Arts and Divine Abilities flowed down, and it was beautiful and sparkling like fireworks, yet beneath this beauty was a terrifying and wondrous killing intent that was impossible to hide.
Chen Xi moved in the middle of this attack like a ghost, and his figure flashed indeterminately.
He did not kill them impatiently, and instead he carefully understood the changes in his strength and the utilization of his various movements during this battle.
All of this forging was a kind of adjustment, enhancement, and reconstruction of his combat power, and the transformation of his combat power could only be achieved through the accumulation of these small details.
After time to burn the incense, Chen Xi held the Talisman Armament while he suddenly launched an attack, and he instantly massacred all the opponents in the surroundings.
The reason was very simple, he was already unable to control himself through these opponents, and he could only kill them and head to the next level to pick new opponents.
Just like this, Chen Xi descended level after level, and the opponents she encountered grew stronger and stronger, while her combat strength quietly underwent a transformation through these many battles.
His strength became even more powerful, his control of power became more accurate, whereas his movements became simpler, viscous, and revealed an aura spilling all complexity and returning to simplicity.
When Chen Xi arrived at the 90th level, he suddenly stopped and sat down cross-legged.
His critical moment of undergoing transformation had arrived, so he started meditating and organizing the understanding in his heart.
Om!
The waves of profound tones of the Grand Dao appeared like the sounds of nature, and rumbled out from Chen Xi's body while carrying a unique rhythm that floated through the entire 90th level of the sword cave.
Chen Xi sat cross-legged with an emotionless expression that was like an old well without ripples. His entire body was encompassed by strands of golden light that illuminated the world, and it was like many golden flowers were descending from the sky, making him appear divine and radiant.
It seems like realization but not realization is the true Dao, and this opportunity opens his mind to a new world.
At this moment, even though Chen Xi was deducing and regulating the various understandings in his heart, the vital energy in his body had risen automatically and circulated throughout his body, and it seemed like he was fused with the Grand Dao.
This was a phenomenon that would only occur when one's understanding of the Dao had reached an extraordinary state, and it was extremely profound. If people in the outside world noticed this scene, it would probably cause a huge uproar.
Because such a phenomenon was called 'Defense of Self, ' and it only appeared on ancient gods and supreme sages in the past.
Self Illumination is a state that seems as if one is communicating with the gods of antiquity while perceiving in meditation. The various depths will be revealed down to the smallest detail in one's heart, and it feels like sitting in front of a mirror and understanding oneself.
All the understanding gained under these conditions pointed directly to the essence of the Grand Dao, and it was as the most authentic reflection of the Grand Dao. It was as if all the complications were eliminated to finally reveal the truth.
Three months later, Chen Xi, who was sitting cross-legged like a clay statue, opened his eyes. In his eyes, the sun and moon appeared, a world flourished, and a myriad of talisman marks formed before finally returning to a state of silence.
Chen Xi stood up, her entire demeanor was even more restrained, and she looked like an exalted emperor who had seen the truth behind everything in the world. His calm and calm aura carried an astonishing strength.
Even though my strength has not increased in the slightest, it allows me to understand the essence of many Dao Insights, so when used in battle, it is enough to produce incredible strength … muttered Chen Xi. He could sense that he was on the verge of touching the boundaries of the Eternal Earth Realm, and it was like the 'Extreme Realm' of the Nether Transformation Realm, both revealing perfection and supremacy.
Swooshes!
Chen Xi did not waste any more time and moved to the next level.
If the 60th level of the sword cave was considered a barrier, then the 90th level was another barrier, and that was a completely different difference.
No matter if it was the pressure that filled the sword cave or the strength of the bloodsouls, both of them revealed qualitative transformations.
For example, the terrifying pressure at level 91 felt as if the entire world was suppressing it, and it formed a terrifying force field that would probably instantly destroy an ordinary Eternal Earth Realm expert to death.
On the other hand, the strength of the bloodsouls were all at the 8th level of the Eternal Earth Realm.
Of course, it was impossible for an existence at the 9th level of the Eternal Earth Realm to exist because such an existence would directly ascend to the Eternal Dimension because it had already surpassed the scope of the Mortal Dimension.
But there was a difference in strength within the 8th level of the Eternal Earth Realm.
This was something that Chen Xi was deeply experiencing as it slowly descended level after level.
For example, the level 91 of the sword cave had six Earthly Immortal Realm Bloodsouls, but they were easily slaughtered by Chen Xi.
On the other hand, even though there were only two tier 8 Immortal World blood at the 92nd level of the sword cave, their strength was terrifying, and Chen Xi had to exert an effort to exterminate them.
When he arrived at the 95th level of the sword cave, Chen Xi faced a real threat.
There was only one bloodbath at the level of this sword cave. Bloodsoul's clothes fluttered, had hair hanging loosely on his shoulders, and his eyes emitted a sharp light. It was already completely different from the other bloodsouls, and it was like a true cultivator.
It carried a sword on its back, and its bearing was as powerful as its sword, making the sword like a peerless immortal sword.
Chen Xi was so shocked that when he fought with this bad blood, the latter was actually skilled in the Skycontrol Burying Sword, and had reached the peak of perfection in this Dao Art. The entire space around him seemed to be swept into every sword attack, and it was extremely formidable.
During the battle, it even caused Chen Xi to appear inferior in comparison.
It would definitely be a difficult fight, but Chen Xi was very satisfied with it because the stronger the strength of his opponent, the greater it would weaken his own strength, so the advantage would definitely be great.
Seven days later.
A muffled eruption resounded as the bloodsoul head that looked like an unparalleled immortal sword fell to the ground, and the sword on its back fell to the ground with a clang as well.
Chen Xi panted as she stared at the corpse of her opponent, and a wisp of admiration could not help but appear in her heart. Such opponents are hard to find all over the world!
After a while, Chen Xi carefully placed the sword left behind by the blood onto the Buddha Pagoda.
Since the beginning of the battle, Chen Xi had noticed that the sword his opponent possessed was completely built from the Chaotic Source Crystal, so leaving behind a rare treasure here would be a waste of a god-given reward.
"Let me eat it and I'll make an exception to agree to your request." Just when Chen Xi turned around with the intention of entering the next level of the sword cave, the small cauldron that had remained silent for a long time spoke out abruptly, and his voice was without the slightest trace of emotion as usual.
But Chen Xi actually saw that the voice of the small cauldron carried an invisible trace of longing, and it seemed like a piece of Chaotic Source Crystal brought an impossible temptation to resist.
