Chapter 320: The Greatest Trump Card

Want to waive the time limit?

Shen Xing glanced at Nangong Jinyi. This one glance confirmed that she had indeed roughly guessed one of his abilities to travel between worlds.

Even though he had never said it, nor had he demonstrated it.

However, it wasn’t a big deal.

At this moment, Shen Xing just smiled. “Let me try the cultivation method here first to see if it’s really that magical. Maybe it will really work.”

After saying that, he didn’t stand on ceremony and casually found a place to sit cross-legged.

Just as he was about to take out a pill and consume it, Nangong Jinyi stopped him.

“Here, there are inexhaustible seventh-grade pills,” she said. “As long as you start cultivating, they will be delivered to you.”

Shen Xing was stunned, then nodded.

There were many magical things in this secret realm, so it wasn’t necessary to be surprised by everything.

He immediately activated the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique.

Just as he started cultivating, the space in front of him indeed fluctuated, and an extremely hot pill appeared.

It was a golden pill that emitted an extremely high temperature. Inside, nine divine dragons were constantly circling and intertwining, like a burning flame. One could feel the terrifying Yuan Qi and the profound intent circling within it.

A seventh-grade pill!

Shen Xing had seen sixth-grade high-grade pills before, so he was very clear that the one in front of him was definitely a seventh-grade pill!

“This secret realm most likely has a manager with a high realm,” Nangong Jinyi said at this time. “Otherwise, without AI intelligence, it would be difficult to monitor our cultivation status so clearly, and even the pills delivered are exactly what we need.”

“Is that so?” Shen Xing frowned slightly but quickly smoothed it out.

Even if there was a manager in this secret realm, they must be restricted.

The creator of the secret realm couldn’t be so foolish as to let an uncontrolled person manage it.

Not to mention a life with self-awareness, even intelligent AI couldn’t be guaranteed to be safe after a long time.

It had to rely on a series of measures for management.

Shen Xing didn’t bother to think too much about it and directly consumed this obviously dragon-type pill.

The moment it entered his mouth, it was as if thirteen hot dragons appeared in his body, and even in his divine soul. But they were not violent, and instead quickly integrated into his body, increasing his strength.

It was an extremely relaxed and powerful way of absorption.

Even though Shen Xing had consumed many pills, he had never felt this way before.

He could even feel the constant strengthening of his life essence at every moment.

Too strong.

Is this a seventh-grade pill?

But the stronger part was yet to come.

A hot aura suddenly emerged from his body. At the same time, patterns appeared out of thin air around him, putting great pressure on his body, but also slowly and steadily increasing the speed of refining the pill.

A formation.

A formation to assist cultivation!

Shen Xing now understood why Nangong Jinyi’s improvement speed was so fast.

Seventh-grade pills, plus the formation!

Even an ordinary person would become a true exceptional prodigy in this place!

However, at the same time, Shen Xing also realized that he could only stay here for one year.

Yes, only one year.

“How long have you been here?” Shen Xing asked.

“Two months,” Nangong Jinyi replied, looking at Shen Xing with a somewhat eager expression.

Two months here was equivalent to three years of cultivating with pills outside!

Even Shen Xing, at this moment, wished he could stay here and cultivate forever.

That would greatly reduce the time it took for him to reach the seventh realm!

At the same time, Shen Xing also understood the meaning of the previous trial.

If one was not determined and was willing to do anything for strength, this terrifying cultivation speed would be harmful instead. They would lose themselves due to the rapid increase in strength. Not to mention doing evil, they might even die during the cultivation process due to emotional fluctuations.

In addition, Shen Xing also understood what kind of Martial Path Intent he had obtained in the previous trial.

It was also a Heaven Grade Martial Path Intent, and perhaps even more than just Heaven Grade Low-Grade.

Unfortunately, it was not a Dragon-Type.

However, this Martial Path Intent was not used for combat or enhancing his foundation.

It had only one function—tranquil as still water.

Activating this Martial Path Intent could, to the greatest extent, guard one’s true spirit. Long-term cultivation could even coordinate the connection between the divine soul and Yuan Power.

And if the information Shen Xing possessed was correct, this was precisely the threshold for the final breakthrough to the seventh realm.

In other words, this unknown Heaven Grade Martial Path Intent was actually used to assist in breaking through to the seventh realm, or even higher.

This time, the harvest was truly great.

“Let’s hurry up,” Shen Xing activated his cultivation technique, quickly calming his emotions, and said to Nangong Jinyi, “Yuan Qi will be directly drawn from the void. You don’t need to go that far. You can cultivate directly here. In any case, this year cannot be wasted.”

“Okay,” Nangong Jinyi nodded.

She sat on her bed and also began to cultivate.

Shen Xing silently calculated and found that at this speed, he wouldn’t even need three years to reach the Sun and Moon Realm!

This speed was too terrifying.

Originally, he had prepared to stay in the Mountain and Sea Realm for thirty years.

But now, he could reach the Sun and Moon Realm in five years?

Was the estimate of a hundred years to reach the seventh realm too conservative?

“No matter what, this is a good thing,” Shen Xing closed his eyes and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

This cultivation lasted for a full month.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Nangong Jinyi standing up.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“It’s time for sparring,” Nangong Jinyi said.

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, then came to a realization.

Indeed, if the strength increased too quickly, the speed of growth had to slow down.

On the one hand, it was to adapt to the new level. On the other hand, it was to maintain the will to fight.

Therefore, hothouse flowers cannot become martial arts experts.

However, perhaps because he had always been fighting in his rune armor and was already accustomed to fighting against those in the Sun and Moon Realm, he was quite comfortable with his current strength and didn’t feel any bottleneck.

His strength had even steadily reached the Mid-Mountain and Sea Realm!

◈◈◈

However, he estimated that to make the most of this year, he might still need some pressure.

“I’ll go take a look too,” Shen Xing said. “Let’s see what level those two are at.”

“Even if their strength is suppressed, they won’t be able to put any pressure on you,” Nangong Jinyi saw through Shen Xing’s thoughts and chuckled. Then she added, “But with me, it might be different.”

In this last sentence, Shen Xing seemed to see the Nangong Jinyi he first met.

Still kind and gentle, but with an obvious sense of oppression.

Shen Xing had always called it the “young miss” temperament, but in reality, wasn’t it also a kind of martial arts confidence?

“Then let me see,” Shen Xing smiled, also ending his cultivation and standing up.

“How much of the pill’s essence have you refined?” Nangong Jinyi suddenly turned around and asked before pushing open the door.

“About two-thirds,” Shen Xing said with a look of amazement.

He had only refined about two-thirds of that seventh-grade pill.

In other words, a seventh-grade pill, with the support of this terrifying formation, was enough for him to cultivate for a month and a half.

He didn’t know whether to say that his refining speed was too fast or that the seventh-grade pill was too strong.

However, judging from Nangong Jinyi’s reaction, it was obviously the latter.

“Your refining speed is about ten times mine,” Nangong Jinyi slowly exhaled.

“I’m in the Mountain and Sea Realm,” Shen Xing said, dumbfounded. “There’s no comparison.”

That’s right, only ten times. It was already very impressive.

This could even be said that after adding a Heaven Grade cultivation technique, Nangong Jinyi’s cultivation foundation was not much worse than Shen Xing’s.

After all, at this moment, she could be considered to have gathered the advantages of both worlds.

This made Shen Xing even more clearly aware that the tide of civilization is constantly moving forward. In a healthy and growing civilization, the newcomers will inevitably surpass the pioneers.

However, Shen Xing would not admit defeat.

He would become a pioneer.

“Let’s go,” Shen Xing directly pushed open the door.

The other two were floating quietly not far away. It was clear that it was indeed the time they had agreed upon for sparring.

And when they saw Shen Xing, they were obviously stunned.

Even with their realms suppressed, they didn’t have much confidence in fighting Shen Xing.

But at this moment, Nangong Jinyi came from behind and said directly, “You two, come at me together.”

“Together?” General He, who was wearing armor, frowned. “Then you will definitely lose.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Nangong Jinyi’s lips curled up. “Previously, I was worried about you two joining forces, so when fighting either of you, I had to be wary of the other. Now that my Senior Martial Brother is here, there’s no need to be so cautious, and I can fight with all my might.”

When these words were spoken, even the always elegant Young Master Mu narrowed his eyes.

“Then let’s give it a try,” he finally said.

Although his words were still gentle, everyone could hear his dissatisfaction.

For these two to have reached this point, at least in the Spirit Realm and Mountain and Sea Realm, they could be considered extremely powerful.

Looking at the whole world, they could be considered famous figures.

Naturally, they couldn’t be without arrogance.

At this moment, they didn’t say anything more. Young Master Mu took the lead, raising the folding fan in his hand and waving it gently.

Gentle breezes blew towards Nangong Jinyi.

Some of the residual wind even enveloped Shen Xing.

And only when the breeze approached did Shen Xing raise his eyebrows.

Because he felt an extreme yin and soft power, a kind of yin and soft power that could scrape flesh and crush bones!

It could even easily penetrate Yuan Power, and even the divine soul!

This was definitely a Heaven Grade Martial Path Intent!

It seemed gentle and silent, as if it had no power, but it had already integrated terrifying power. This kind of silent and extreme yin and softness, even Shen Xing didn’t notice it. He was really a little amazed.

If an ordinary prodigy encountered this move, they would probably be turned to ashes while laughing and talking, not even knowing how they died.

However, he didn’t remind Nangong Jinyi, nor was it necessary.

The Heaven Grade Martial Path Intent she inherited from Azure Sky Sacred Ground was called “Supreme Void Knowing Truth.”

A Martial Path Intent specializing in perception.

Cultivated to a high level, it could even determine the outcome of a battle from the very beginning. No one could ambush, assassinate, or besiege her. To a certain extent, she was invincible.

It was a perfect counter to Young Master Mu’s moves.

As expected, the moment the opponent made his move, her figure slowly disappeared. It was an extremely profound body movement technique. Although it was not Heaven Grade, it was extremely compatible with “Supreme Void Knowing Truth.”

If used well, it could even play with the enemy in the palm of her hand!

However, Young Master Mu’s reaction was also very fast.

His figure also slowly dissipated, leaving only his voice echoing in the entire space:

“Every time it starts like this, why don’t you try to find me, Fairy Nangong?”

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes.

Another Heaven Grade Martial Path Intent!

The first one was an attack, now it was a body movement technique. And he at least had one more cultivation technique. This meant that he had at least three Heaven Grade Martial Path Intents.

If Nangong Jinyi’s foundation was not extremely solid and her foundation strong, just in terms of Martial Path Intents, she would have lost completely.

However—

His gaze suddenly looked in a certain direction.

“Space?” A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of Shen Xing’s mouth, but then a bit of interest appeared.

That’s right, this body movement technique was a space-type Martial Path Intent!

Hiding the body in the gap, stretching and expanding the divine soul to the entire space!

Although it was extraordinary, it was not as simple and direct as his “Space”!

“You’ve already cultivated this divine intent to Major Completion?” Nangong Jinyi’s voice also came at this time, but it was a little solemn.

Major Completion of a Heaven Grade Martial Path Intent!

Even at the Fourth Realm level, it was extraordinary!

The last time she sparred with him, it was only at Minor Completion.

And at the moment she spoke, an invincible golden light suddenly burst forth, filling the entire battlefield!

It was General Mu!

Compared to the silent contest between the two just now, this one was earth-shattering! The earth was almost instantly riddled with holes. Wood chips and mud flew everywhere, and then were ground into powder by the golden light. Wherever it passed, almost nothing could be destroyed!

Even Yuan Power was the same!

Shen Xing could clearly sense that the yin and soft Yuan Power left by Young Master Mu was also completely torn apart by this golden light!

Heaven Grade! Another Heaven Grade!

“Supreme Yang, indestructible,” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes. “However, if the strength is insufficient, it can’t cut through space.”

Heaven Grade was powerful and profound, but it also depended on who was using it!

Shen Xing increasingly felt that even though the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique had reached Heaven Grade, his greatest trump card was still Space!

This definitely exceeded the Heaven Grade level!
