Chapter 202: Sword Emperor Realm
Especially now, the power of the War God Temple is growing day by day. If there is a war, my first opponent will most likely be Guo Polu. If we fight again, it will be a life-and-death contest.
Shangguan Jiannan took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated again. The green light was restrained, his spirit was refreshed, and his eyes flickered with desire for the future.
Everything was ready, and there was an imperceptible tremor in Shangguan Jiannan's voice: "Launch an attack on the Sword Emperor Realm!" Before he finished speaking, a majestic spiritual energy burst out like a mountain torrent.
In front of him, hundreds of carefully prepared spirit-gathering pills exploded at the same time, transforming into a surging wave of spiritual energy.
These were the choices Shangguan Jiannan made after careful consideration. After all, even with the help of the underground spiritual veins, its power was still weak, and the Spirit Gathering Pill became an indispensable aid.
There are more Spirit Gathering Pills hidden in the golden storage ring, ready for use at any time in case of emergency.
Shangguan Jiannan was completely surrounded by this vast spiritual energy, as if he was in an ocean of spiritual energy. With every breath he took, cool spiritual energy entered his body, while the dirty air was slowly expelled.
Shangguan Jiannan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, his mind became peaceful, and he entered a supreme state of being free of desires, demands, sadness and joy.
Time seemed to have lost its meaning here. Shangguan Jiannan only knew that he was like an old monk in meditation, with spiritual energy constantly flowing around his body and changing in countless ways.
In this airtight training room, Shangguan Jiannan was immersed in his own world, isolated from the outside world, just for the moment of breaking through to the Sword Emperor realm.
Time flies. Before he knew it, Shangguan Jiannan, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly felt his body shaken, as if the sleeping rivers in his body suddenly awakened. His spiritual energy flowed like a trickle, which turned into a torrent in an instant, running freely through his meridians and finally converging in the depths of his dantian.
Suddenly, there was a roar in his mind, as deafening as thunder, almost making him lose consciousness.
Then, the surroundings seemed to be shaken by this force, and the roar and the sound of flowing water intertwined together to form a strange melody.
His expression changed from previous tranquility to determination, and even had a bit of unyielding ferocity.
Under the impact of this force, Shangguan Jiannan let out a series of muffled groans, but what was more of it was the desire and acceptance of power.
The spiritual energy poured out like a tide, and seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and gathered again. Each cycle made him feel unprecedented joy and freedom.
Finally, the world before my eyes became unusually clear, as if the long-standing fog had been swept away.
He felt an unprecedented lightness and power, and an unprecedented sensitivity and control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy in his Dantian has grown from a trickle into a small pool, heralding a leap in his cultivation.
At this moment, Shangguan Jiannan was like a traveler who had finally found rain after a long drought. He greedily absorbed every bit of spiritual energy in the air, as if he wanted to take all the essence of the world into himself.
He waved his hand lightly, and hundreds of Spirit Gathering Pills turned into points of light in the air, exploded, and released even more rich spiritual energy, which was absorbed by him one by one without omission.
After several hours, Shangguan Jiannan let out a long sigh. The powerful sense of strength surrounding him made him smile with satisfaction.
"Finally, I have reached the realm of Sword Emperor."
He secretly sighed in his heart that it was not easy to come this far.
He waved his hand lightly, and the Sky-Slaying Sword not far away flew out of a cave like a spirit snake and instantly fell into his palm.
Then, he stretched out his body, and the sword light weaved like a weave, leaving gorgeous sword shadows in the air, accompanied by bursts of air explosions, demonstrating the power of his new realm.
Finally, he pressed down lightly with his palm, the sword stopped steadily, and everything returned to calm.
He lightly tapped the ground with his footsteps, and his figure suddenly jumped up, like an arrow from a bow, rushing away into the distance, leaving behind only a faint sword shadow, which stretched out in the setting sun, telling of his new journey.
With a whoosh, Shangguan Jiannan appeared like a ghost, and he had mastered the art of shadow escape to perfection.
In the secret room, in the pitch black, the shadow suddenly spread out and then quietly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"The name of the Sword Emperor is indeed well-deserved. This leap in strength is breathtaking."
He secretly praised in his heart, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his pride was beyond words.
With a gentle swing of his fist, he created gusts of biting wind, which sent a buzzing sound through the air, demonstrating his comprehensively enhanced strength and speed.
As he walked out of the hall, the smile on his face had not yet completely faded, but a sudden burst of noise extinguished his joy like cold water.
"Oh no!" Shangguan Jiannan's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he had an ominous premonition. He frowned and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. Outside the house, the chaotic footsteps sounded like rapid drumbeats, booming in his ears. Shangguan Jiannan's face suddenly darkened, and the joy of breaking through the bottleneck was instantly buried deep in his heart. He paused, then rushed out with a more rapid posture, and in the blink of an eye he was standing outside the hall.
Outside the hall, figures were staggered in the air, like meteors streaking across the night sky, leaving behind a series of gorgeous tracks. The air was filled with thick spiritual energy, which surged violently, as if to swallow everything. "Not good, something happened!" Shangguan Jiannan's heart trembled, his face was as pale as paper, and a trace of worry flashed across his face. He took a step without hesitation, and his figure was as fast as the wind, rushing away.
As his body moved, Shangguan Jiannan seemed to merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His strength in the Condensation Realm allowed him to control the void and fly freely. He was extremely fast, like a bright meteor, streaking through the sky and flying towards the sound of fighting in the distance. Every flash was filled with endless power and determination.
However, this new power was still unfamiliar to him, and he was a little clumsy in operation.
Spiritual energy surged around his body, his shadow escape technique had reached the fourth level "Escape from the Shadow and Return to the Truth". Every move he made revealed the surging spiritual power and astonishing strength in his body.
This power made him full of confidence, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently, but it was immediately suppressed by the solemn atmosphere around him and disappeared without a trace.
On the spacious square, dense crowds of people were moving back and forth, their purple robes fluttering in the wind. At this moment, hundreds of people in purple Taoist robes had gathered on the square, and the number was still increasing. Everyone's face was filled with shock and uneasiness, and their eyes were fixed on the front.
At the front of the crowd, Long Qianshan stood quietly, followed closely by the elders, inner disciples, and outer disciples. Everyone was silent, their eyes filled with horror. Such a big commotion made everyone present vaguely guess what might happen next, and their faces became gloomy and terrifying.
The whole air was filled with an extremely oppressive and dull feeling, like the calm before a storm, which made people feel suffocated. This atmosphere seemed to foreshadow the advent of an ominous event, which made people feel terrified. "Hoo--Hoo--" The heavy breathing sounds echoed in the crowd one after another. Everyone looked at the cold faces of senior figures such as Long Qianshan and Yin Wuqing, and their hearts sank. They speculated secretly, and at the same time, they were also mixed with a bit of relief and sighing.
