Chapter 431: Remnant Sword Techniques
Ye Yun had reached the third level of Foundation Establishment and mastered the Great Demon Body.
Though this progress aligned with his expectations, the astonishing enhancements to his meridians, bones, and flesh still surprised him. His true qi now flowed with unmatched vigor and purity, while his physical strength had reached unimaginable heights. Even against an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, he now stood a fighting chance.
What thrilled him most was the Ancestor of the Sword Path’s promise—by investing top-grade spirit stones, his cultivation could skyrocket, potentially reaching the peak of the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment. The threshold of condensing a Golden Core would then lie within reach.
"Feel invincible yet?" The Ancestor’s voice held playful amusement.
"Only after condensing my Golden Core will I truly gain standing in the Great Qin Empire. But Ling’er can’t wait—we must find your second soul fragment swiftly to unlock the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Secret Vault." Ye Yun shrugged. The breakthrough didn’t astonish him. With the Heart of Immortals and Demons and his current resources, forming a Golden Core was inevitable.
His priority now was securing soul-nurturing divine medicine to heal Su Ling after his next breakthrough.
"The second soul fragment hides within the imperial family," the Ancestor sighed. "But the capital’s vastness and protective formations obscure its location. Entry is our only path."
"Sneaking into the empire’s heart, crawling with experts? Impossible. We need another approach."
"Recall our original plan." The Ancestor’s tone turned brisk. "Join either Divine Grace Palace or Misty Sect. Flaunt your talents openly. Their higher-ups will fast-track you as a genius disciple. Soon, you’ll access intel about the Heavenly Sword Secret Vault."
Ye Yun nodded. "Our only viable path."
"Beware the cost of fame," the Ancestor warned. "Envy follows prominence. At your current Third Level Golden Core strength, any cultivator beyond that stage could crush you."
Ye Yun snorted. "If I can’t handle Golden Core ants, I’ve no business chasing the vault anyway. Let them try!" The Heart’s influence radiated through his newfound confidence.
"Arrogance!" The Ancestor chided. "This isn’t the Jin Kingdom. The capital swarms with Nascent Soul masters and Golden Core elites. Tread carefully."
Ignoring the warning, Ye Yun produced a Thunder Spirit crystal. "They overlooked this! Its Thunder Spirit Qi’s purity is staggering."
"Fools." The Ancestor chuckled. "You’ve grasped the Lightning Element Law—no one in the empire rivals your sensitivity. For millennia, none fully mastered it. Partial insights don’t compare."
Ye Yun frowned. "Then how did Master’s Life Rune contain five laws? If Su Hao touched such power, why does he remain weak?"
"Puzzling indeed." The Ancestor hummed. "His cultivation shows no trace of exotic energies. Any ‘understanding’ he claims would be rudimentary at best."
A realization struck Ye Yun—the five laws originated from the Heart absorbing and refining his master’s Life Rune energy. As his power grew, so did his awe of the Heart. This artifact contained primal, flawless laws. Any single one could make a cultivator a sect’s prized genius, poised to reach Nascent Soul within decades.
What heights might he reach mastering all five?
More bewildering were the Heart’s previous owners—the couple who’d strolled unscathed past golden-armored warriors. He once assumed them merely above Nascent Soul. Now he doubted. Earth Immortals, while rare, existed in legends. Yet those two…
"Save the crystal for Thunder Falls Valley," the Ancestor advised, interrupting his thoughts.
"Exactly." Ye Yun pocketed the gem. "The valley requires either sixth-level Golden Core cultivators post-tribulation… or Thunder Spirit Qi comprehension. This crystal’s my ticket."
"Easier entry into Misty Sect or Divine Grace Palace, then."
"What if we target the capital directly?"
"Folly!" The Ancestor snapped. "Palace guards face harsh restrictions. Sect geniuses enjoy far greater privileges there."
Nodding, Ye Yun produced torn parchment—the half-form of Thundercloud Lightning Sword’s fourth technique: Sword of the Thunder God. Though incomplete, even partial mastery could elevate his existing moves.
"Master this fragment," the Ancestor urged, "and Thunder Falls Valley becomes manageable."
Ye Yun’s gaze hardened as he studied the brittle page. His enhanced physique, amplified true qi, and reforged soul had elevated his power—but his techniques lagged. This broken sword art promised the edge he needed.
