Chapter 92
Lyu Liang was utterly stunned by the words of Tai Su Ancestor Lord. He seemed to understand a part of it, but his heart felt unwilling.
After a while, Tai Su Ancestor Lord smiled and said, "The bear itself has the strength of a Heavenly Master, but the move that broke your Sword Qi whirlpool was only at the strength of Late-stage of Nascent Soul. That is to say, even though you are only at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul, you can actually compete with the Late-stage of Nascent Soul. However, what I wanted to make you understand is the feeling that you experienced when the bear broke your move, in other words, the intuition."
At this time, the big monkey who had been fanning the old man, was standing near Lyu Liang. Tai Su Ancestor Lord smirked and said softly, "Kid, go and fight with the little monkey. By the way, you seem to have a Ghost Devil Head, use it as well!"
Lyu Liang did not hesitate and utilized the Ghost Devil Head directly. Besides increasing the power several times, the moves were the same as before and he fought in the exact same way.
The big monkey first yawned, then it clasped both hands and raised them above its head. Suddenly, with a speed faster than lightning, it slammed down and a visible golden giant Sword Qi whizzed out. In the blink of an eye, the Sword Qi crushed the whirlpool on the opposite side into pieces!
Lyu Liang gazed on and thought, "Oh god! This move was far more powerful than the big bear’s. Also, this move that the big monkey executed was at the Late-stage of Nascent Soul too. At this point, remembering the movements of the big bear before, the messy sword moves in Lyu Liang’s mind seemed to have found a link that could connect everything into in a series.
At the next moment, a feeling of enlightenment coursed through Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul. He closed his eyes and seemed to be savoring something. When he opened his eyes again, he had already entered the state of Human-Sword Unite.
A fierce aura emerged from Lyu Liang’s body. His hands came up and the Feiling Sword rose. There were no other fancy moves. The second style of Heaven-burning Sword Formation and the Black-White Sword Formation rose. However, unlike before, the attack range and speed of this sword formation expanded several times. In the meantime, many humanoid shadows and traces of thunder pounced on the big monkey, which now looked very serious.
This time, the big monkey’s size and aura expanded several times. Although it still used the previous moves, this move turned into three golden Sword Qi and after colliding with the Black-White Sword Formation, it did not cause the same devastation as before. Instead, they were both tied in a draw that shook the heavens and earth.
When the big monkey saw this, it frowned like a human. It turned to look at the Tai Su Ancestor Lord and seeing his slight nod, the monkey turned away. At the same time, its tail that was originally dragging on the ground, suddenly rose upright, bursting with dazzling golden light and devastating Sword Qi!
Subsequently, this golden-colored tail began to wave about like a sword and produced countless Sword Qi that also joined in the battle against the Black-White Sword Formation.
With this new power joining, the Black-White Sword Formation started to weaken and was gradually suppressed by the Sword Qi of the big monkey. Lyu Liang seemed to be aware of the situation, and suddenly, he made a gesture that was identical to what the big monkey made. He raised his hands over his head. Then, an extremely horrible aura broke out.
"Wake up! It’s done!" The clear and loud voice of Tai Su Ancestor Lord sounded, and the devastating Sword Qi battle group disappeared in an instant. Lyu Liang shivered, woke up and then he seemed to understand something. He hurriedly bowed to the big monkey and Tai Su Ancestor Lord, "Seniors, I must have entered the state of the Human-Sword Unite again. I made a move subconsciously. I am sorry if I have offended you!"
Lyu Liang knew that whenever he entered the state of Human-Sword Unite, he would be in a trance like state. Unless the outbreak was over or was interrupted by someone abruptly, the destruction that he created during this state was usually quite terrible.
The big monkey’s body figure and aura returned to normal. It did not seem to mind what had happened just now. Instead, it was smiling and nodding happily. On the side, Tai Su Ancestor Lord had a satisfied look too, he nodded and smiled, "Kid, no wonder, Tai Chu had so much faith in you from the beginning! Although you did not get
Lyu Liang smiled sheepishly, "Thank you senior and the two powerful figures for your kind guidance. I finally understand the problem that has been troubling myself! It turned out that I used to think too much! Sword Tao, Sword Tao, the sword is the Tao. I have long known that, yet I was always mixing different styles and moves. I even confidently created a messy sword whirlpool. Now that I think about it, it was such a ridiculous move!"
Lyu Liang felt so delighted and his gratitude towards the seniors was overwhelming! At this point, he finally figured out the crux of his problem.
In all the different types of swordsmanship that he had, there were some similar moves, such as the Sword Control Formation and the Linghuang Sword Essence. There were also some moves that could complement each other. For example, the Wind-dodging Move and the Thunder Light Move of Xuanyuan Swordsmanship, were known for their speed. They could be combined with the powerful Heart Swordsmanship and the Heaven-burning Sword Formation.
Previously, Lyu Liang made the Black-White Sword Formation as the main move and the Mortal Heart Swordsmanship and Thunder Light Move as the supplementary moves. The three moves were similar in approach. The only difference was that different Cultivation Methods were needed to run them. Others might struggle with that, but for Lyu Liang, who had the five elements constitution and the Xuanyuan Mantra, that was not a difficult thing. The only thing he had to do was to familiarize himself with the sword move-style combination so that he could exercise the great powers at any time.
Looking at Lyu Liang’s enlightened look, Tai Su Ancestor Lord grinned and pointed to a cottage not far away, "Kid, go to the grass house and meditate. When you realize that you have nothing more to understand, come out and look for me."
At the moment, Lyu Liang also had the intention to understand thoroughly all the moves. Thus, he thanked him hurriedly and rushed into the cottage.
Upon entering, Lyu Liang’s eyes brightened! Wonderful! This cottage was very mysterious and it was a blank space! There was nothing in it, the only thing presented to him besides being virtual, was really virtual.
While Lyu Liang entered, Tai Su Ancestor Lord whispered to himself, "Tai Chu, since that year you built the House of Time, many souls have gone in, but the longest time anyone stayed in there was for a year. I wonder how long your valued pro-disciple will stay in it?
…
Time passed slowly. Although there were no change of seasons in this space, there were only days and nights. In a blink of an eye, one year had passed, and still there were no movements within the House of Time.
At the end of the year, Su Qiao’er appeared. By then, her cultivation was at the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment. She looked at the House of Time eagerly and then went back a bit reluctantly.
…
Finally, after one year and fifty days, the door of the House of Time opened, and a white-robed youth walked out slowly. If someone who had known Lyu Liang well, were present, he would rub his eyes in surprise and then wonder with incredibility: "The figure that just came out out, is it a person or a sword?"
At this time, Lyu Liang did not have any cultivation or aura, only a looming yet fierce Sword Qi that poured forth from every pore of his body.
Tai Su Ancestor Lord was already waiting outside the house and behind him was the big bear and the big monkey. When they saw Lyu Liang, their eyes brightened and they nodded with satisfaction.
Lyu Liang respectfully bowed, "Lord senior and the two powerful figures, I have already understood everything, and I could no longer continue to stay in there, so I had to come out."
"Haha, you kid, be grateful when you get something cheap. Come on, let us see your results." Tai Su Ancestor Lord smiled and added, "You don’t have to trigger the Ghost Devil Head, but for the rest, don’t hesitate! Do not worry about the damage caused, the scenery here is all dependent on my thoughts"
Lyu Liang did not hesitate. Giving out a sudden roar, a horrible Sword Qi flashed out of his body and then turned into a gush of Sword Qi that attacked the side of Tai Su Ancestor Lord.
Tai Su Ancestor Lord laughed and praised, "You are indeed a rare genius to use the Virtual Sword Status to such a state!" Then, with a wave of his hand, a golden barrier blocked the path in front of him.
Now, Lyu Liang held Feiling on the left and Blood-bone on the right. He quickly clasped both his hands, raised it over his head and made a slashing movement.
A horrible aura surrounded Lyu Liang within the range of a hundred feet, and it seemed to destroy the heavens and the earth. Tai Su Ancestor Lord’s eyes brightened and as he waved his hand, the light curtain in front of him, directly turned into a circular shield.
At the same time, countless pure Sword Qi began to attack the surface of the shield relentlessly. The attack consisted of humanoid shadows, sword flowers, countless sword lights and tens of thousands of thunder strikes.
The attack was no longer an unorganized mess that had no direction. Instead, it turned into a piece of regulated swordsmanship that was interrelated. For a time, the wind and clouds changed color, the paradise no longer existed, and the whole space was vibrating violently.
At this point, two slim figures emerged. Looking at the intense look of Su Qiao’er, Xing Yun Fairy who was on the side, smiled and said, "My disciple, your sweetheart is strong. I have a hunch. As long as he can live well, there will be a chance that he will get ahead in his life, to become the one of the top beings that exists in the world."
When Su Qiao’er heard the words, her face turned red, and she stared intently at Lyu Liang who was in the air. At the same time, she made up her mind that she had to become his capable assistant!
At this time, within a range of a hundred feet, a looming lashing shadow appeared. Tai Su Ancestor Lord laughed and said, "Good boy!", then he waved his hand and the original golden shield instantly turned red and blocked the biting cold Sword Qi.
When Lyu Liang saw it, he scratched his head in embarrassment and stopped all his movements. The Sword Qi between the heavens and earth instantly disappeared, and the paradise returned.
Tai Su Ancestor Lord’s eyes were full of praise. He laughed loudly, "You have the magic treasure to attack the Divine Soul and that is not unusual, but you know how to integrate it into your Sword Tao Field Domain! I can tell you, even if there is no Ghost Devil Head, you have at least reached the Early-stage of Void Return in terms of your battling strength! If you use the Ghost Devil Head, together with that Human-Beast Unite, you can even fight with an Early-stage of Fairy Immortal!"
Later, Tai Su Ancestor Lord took out a green pearl from his arm and threw it to Lyu Liang. He said solemnly, "Kid, do you remember what I said before that you need to do a small favor for me?"
Lyu Liang took the bead and replied, "Senior, I will never forget your help. Whatever I promised, I will complete it!"
Tai Su Ancestor Lord nodded and whispered, "It’s not difficult. You just have to go back five thousands years and wipe out a sect!"
Lyu Liang was shocked, five thousand years ago? Would he have the chance to experience that legendary time and space secret method? He answered almost immediately. "Senior, please explain!"
"Well, it is a sect called the Xueling Sect. Their cultivation method is done by killing different kinds of souls. The disciples are half-human and half-demon. Once you go back to the past, you have to do your best to kill them whenever you see someone from the Xueling Sect! Do you understand?" Then, Tai Su Ancestor Lord smiled oddly, "Though it seems that you are doing me a favor, it’s better to say that you are going to end that karma of yours. You don’t need to know the details. Your only task is to kill the people from Xueling Sect."
