At this moment, at the Famous Sword Manor, Yi Yun brought Li Ling to the Sword Storage Room once again.
Yi Yun pointed to the eight precious swords on the stone platform and said to Li Ling, "Feng'er, during the battle outside the gate just now, I saw you use the Eight Forms of Famous Swordsmanship from our Famous Sword Manor. It is clear that you have reached a level of consummate skill."
You're much stronger than when you set out. I'm afraid even I'm no match for you now. It seems you haven't forgotten your training while you were in the desert. Not bad."
"Grandpa, you flatter me. This is all thanks to your guidance since I was a child!" Li Ling said without any pride.
Yi Yun nodded in satisfaction, pleased with Li Ling's unpretentious reaction, but still cautioned him: "Just remember, there are always people more capable than you, so you must never be complacent."
I have been keeping an eye on the news of the Carefree King. After he defeated me and the Holy Monk, he went into seclusion in the Western Regions to cultivate and train several disciples. Now he seems to be making some unusual moves, and it seems that his return to the Central Plains is not far away.
Only by continuing to comprehend the essence of heaven and earth and reaching the third level, becoming a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, will you have any chance of defeating the Carefree King. Therefore, you cannot afford to be even slightly lax, do you understand?
Li Ling nodded earnestly: "Grandson naturally understands, please rest assured, Grandpa!"
"Alright, since that's the case, from today onwards, you will practice your skills in this sword-hiding room every day, so that you can use the sword energy of these eight precious swords to comprehend the artistic conception contained within them and accelerate the progress of your martial arts."
After giving his instructions, Yi Yun left the Sword Storage Room. From that day on, Li Ling spent most of his time in the Sword Storage Room.
Every day, Xueyan and Yu'er would bring the food over together. They would chat with Li Ling while eating, and Xueyan would also take care of teaching Yu'er martial arts.
Fortunately, Yu'er is currently only learning some basic knowledge about meridians and acupoints, so it won't cause Xueyan too much trouble.
That day, Li Ling sat cross-legged on a futon, with the Deadly Sword containing the energy of the sun resting on his lap.
Li Ling sat cross-legged and circulated his energy, his body surging with a vast and intense aura. In the shadows, a golden dragon seemed to be swimming around his body.
"Hoo~"
A series of dragon roars emanated from the dragon's mouth.
Within Li Ling's dantian, seven solidified sword energies of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements swirled and undulated: the vast and blazing white 'Sun Sword Intent', the icy and sharp black 'Moon Sword Intent', the indestructible golden 'Metal Sword Intent', the infinitely vibrant 'Wood Sword Intent', the continuous blue 'Water Sword Intent', the explosive crimson 'Fire Sword Intent', and the heavy and inclusive gray-yellow 'Earth Sword Intent'.
At this moment, a hazy sword aura emanated from these seven solidified sword intents. The seven sword auras—Taiyin, Taiyang, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—merged and solidified, forming a chaotic seed. This seed floated among the seven sword intents, absorbing the sword intent of the seven sword energies and continuously growing stronger.
As the chaotic seed grew stronger, the golden dragon representing Dragon Roar Iron Shirt on Li Ling's body soared into the chaotic seed.
At this moment, the sword intent of the Death Sword on Li Ling's legs also surged, and wisps of vast and masculine solar sword energy were also injected into the Chaos Seed.
The golden dragon and the sword intent of the Deadly Sword were poured into the seed, and the seed's chaotic color was mixed with wisps of gold.
At this moment, with the added power of Dragon Roar Iron Shirt True Qi and the solar sword energy of the Deadly Sword, Li Ling is at the critical point of comprehending the third level of the solar conception.
"Tap tap~"
Just then, a soft footstep sound came, and a slightly bloated figure walked in through the door of the Hidden Sword Chamber. As the person drew closer, it was revealed to be Xueyan, who was pregnant. She was carrying a food basket on her arm, which she had brought to Li Ling to deliver food.
When Li Ling is in seclusion in the Hidden Sword Chamber, only Yi Yun or Xue Yan can bring him food, because the Hidden Sword Chamber is the most important place in the Famous Sword Manor, and only the closest people can come here.
Even Zhao Yu'er cannot come here. Although Li Ling and Zhao Yu'er's relationship is nominally established, they are not yet married, and Zhao Yu'er is not yet considered a member of the Famous Sword Manor. (Jiuhe Academy)
Xueyan stopped ten meters away from Li Ling, because at this moment, sharp and fierce sword energy surged around Li Ling.
"Phew~"
The next moment, eight swords floated around Li Ling. In addition to the seven solid swords of Yin Yang and Five Elements, a chaotic sword gradually took shape in the center of the seven swords.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
The sword on Li Ling's leg floated up, floated onto the stone platform, returned to its original position, and spun endlessly with the other seven swords. As they spun, all eight swords trembled slightly.
As the eight swords trembled, streaks of sword energy scattered outwards, converging into the chaotic-colored seed surrounding Li Ling, thus promoting the growth of the chaotic-colored sword.
The Chaos-colored sword grew rapidly, soon becoming the same size as the other seven swords on his body. This was because Li Ling was about to reach the third level of his understanding of the Sun's intent. At this moment, the Chaos-colored sword was mixed with wisps of reddish-white Sun Sword Intent.
"This is 'Eight Swords Flying Together'!" Xueyan exclaimed softly as she watched this scene, but quickly covered her mouth the next moment.
Xueyan knew that Li Ling was at a crucial moment in his breakthrough and dared not disturb him.
A quick glance downwards revealed a bulge beneath Li Ling's clothes. This was due to Li Ling's deepened understanding of the concept of the sun, which enhanced his yang energy, causing him to become erect.
"Pah!" Seeing Li Ling's towering erection, Xueyan blushed and felt her face burning.
Thinking of the things that had tormented her so many times that she wished she were dead, Xueyan couldn't help but curse under her breath, but she quickly composed herself and kept her eyes fixed on Li Ling's condition.
"Phew~"
The eight swords around Li Ling disappeared, and the eight swords on the stone platform also stopped trembling and no longer emitted sword energy.
Li Ling opened his eyes, a hint of joy on his face, and then turned to look at Xueyan beside him.
Xueyan moved gracefully to Li Ling's side and asked in surprise, "Brother Yi, you've broken through?"
"Hmm!" Li Ling was also overjoyed. He smiled and said, "I have finally made a breakthrough. I have now comprehended the third level of the Sun Intent. Although I can only be considered to have just stepped into the threshold of the Innate Grandmaster, I can already use the supreme sword technique of our Famous Sword Manor, 'Eight Swords Flying Together'."
"That's great! Can Brother Yi come out of seclusion now?" Xueyan asked with concern.
Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I have already broken through. It will be difficult to gain any further insights for a while. I can leave seclusion today."
Xueyan smiled and said, "Let's go out now. Yu'er hasn't been able to see you lately, and she hasn't been very happy!"
After we go out, have the kitchen prepare a good meal to celebrate Brother Yi's breakthrough. Our whole family will also have a meal together. I'm sure Grandpa will be very happy to hear the news.
Li Ling smiled and nodded: "Yes, Grandpa will be very happy. Also, Yu'er has just arrived in the Central Plains, and it's a bit unfair that I can't be by her side. I think I'll bring Yu'er's mother from the desert later."
At this point, Li Ling looked apologetically at Xueyan and said, "Yan'er, you're not upset, are you?"
Xueyan gave Li Ling a playful glare: "You've already won this girl's heart. She's devoted to you, and bringing her mother here is just part of her job. Why would Xueyan be angry?"
