Chapter 27: The Power of the Sword

  Ye Qing's divine consciousness returned to his main body in the Jie Mo Temple. This time, the great war between the three clans made Ye Qing clearly realize that there were many strong people in the vast wilderness, and even those who were stronger than himself were numerous. Because on the battlefield, Ye Qing felt several obscure and mysterious auras, some of which even made him feel threatened. Although relying on his own Jie Mo Dao Gong Fa and physical strength, he couldn't win, but he also wouldn't lose too badly. This time, observing from the sidelines made Ye Qing's small pride disappear.

  What really made Ye Qing anxious was that once these strong people entered the Holy Realm, the gap would be like heaven and earth, completely beyond common sense. That would be a completely different level, and those who entered the Holy Realm would become indestructible existences. Strong people who entered the Holy Realm would possess Yuanshen (primordial spirits), which were indestructible. Even if their bodies were destroyed, they would quickly recover.

  Even if a great divine being with unparalleled power shattered the Yuanshen, it would still reassemble and revive after billions of years. It could be said that reaching this realm meant becoming an indestructible existence, except for special circumstances.

  Reaching this realm does not mean that one is necessarily indestructible and cannot be killed by any power. Reaching this realm can still be fatal, as long as someone with immense divine power completely destroys the saint's strong yuanling or destroys it to a certain extent. When the yuanling is completely destroyed or destroyed to a certain extent, being indestructible becomes a joke.

  The primordial spirit is indestructible, and as long as it remains intact, even if the body suffers severe injuries, it will not die. At most, it may take billions of years to recover. However, if the primordial spirit itself is damaged, it would take at least tens of millions of years to recover. Although the primordial spirit is extremely resilient and difficult to destroy, its self-healing abilities are also limited. When the primordial spirit is shattered beyond a certain point, exceeding its own self-recovery capabilities, it will not reassemble on its own. Unless someone with immense divine power collects the scattered fragments of the primordial spirit, piece by piece, over billions of years, and uses their mighty divine powers to reassemble the primordial spirit, there would be no possibility of rebirth.

  Ye Qing thought about this and felt a bit restless. Although his cultivation was among the top in the Honghuang, it wasn't the strongest. There were many people stronger than him, even within the same realm as himself. Moreover, the first great calamity of the Honghuang universe was approaching, and the land was filled with thick ominous energy. When the time came for the first heavenly calamity to arrive, Ye Qing's own self-preservation would be a problem. However, what troubled Ye Qing was that he still hadn't deduced the next step in the Jie Mo Dao, Evolution Key, and Quiet Mind Key techniques. Furthermore, with his current cultivation, Ye Qing faintly felt that the Jie Mo Dao he created had some flaws, so he decided to re-deduce a new technique for the Jie Mo Dao.

  The gates of the Demon Temple suddenly closed, and the hall was plunged into darkness. A burst of energy shot out from Ye Qing's eyes, illuminating the empty room. Gradually, Ye Qing's eyelids drooped, and his breath grew weaker and weaker, until he seemed to have turned into a stone statue. The room fell silent, with only a gentle breeze whispering through the gap under the door, making a low humming sound...

  In the sea of consciousness, Ye Qing merged with the consciousness node, crazily deducing a brand new demonic dao technique. The profound meaning of each knife flashed through Ye Qing's consciousness node, constantly deducing the essence of the knife path. One by one, the rules between heaven and earth were analyzed in Ye Qing's consciousness, slowly evolving into the shape of a knife.

  In the sea of consciousness, there is no day or night. Ye Qing's full-force derivation of a brand new demon path has reached the peak of the quasi-saint twelve heavens. With his spiritual power greatly increased, the enhancement of his spiritual power accelerated the derivation speed of his consciousness nodes. When he reached the peak of the quasi-saint twelve heavens, Ye Qing fully grasped the rules of destruction, space, and some parts of creation, among others. These rules continuously evolved in his consciousness nodes, slowly evolving into the will of the sword, the dominance of the sword, the destruction of the sword, and countless other epiphanies about the sword that flashed within his consciousness nodes.

  One million years later, the living beings outside the Heavenly Tribulation Temple were quietly cultivating and improving their cultivation. Slowly, the living beings on the Heavenly Tribulation Island felt that in the void, a thick black cloud was slowly condensing, revealing an enormous pressure. Purple lightning occasionally flashed within the black clouds, and bolts of purple lightning occasionally appeared above the Heavenly Tribulation Temple.

  In the node of consciousness, Ye Qing's countless insights into the vast expanse of the universe formed countless knives, slowly merging in Ye Qing's node of consciousness, eventually fusing into a transparent knife. When this transparent knife appeared in Ye Qing's node of consciousness, the node of consciousness almost collapsed under the pressure of this knife. Fortunately, the knife collapsed at the moment it appeared, otherwise the node of consciousness would have collapsed and Ye Qing would have become an idiot without any spiritual intelligence.

  When Ye Qing's consciousness node merged into a knife, the dark clouds in the sky above Jie Mo Temple grew thicker, and several meters of purple lightning flashed through the dark clouds from time to time. The dark clouds revealed an overwhelming pressure, as if it were doomsday, but at the moment when the knife formed in Ye Qing's consciousness node, the pressure that burst out would disperse the strange phenomena outside Jie Mo Temple, and the sky would once again return to a peaceful and beautiful scene.

  After the transparent knife shattered in an instant, a profound and mysterious mind method was formed, falling on Ye Qing's heart.

  Ye Qing felt the pressure emitted by the transparent knife at the moment of its appearance, a strong pressure that even now makes Ye Qing's heart skip a beat. That was a power beyond this universe, far surpassing the power of a Saint Realm expert. Ye Qing knew that his future cultivation direction would be to condense the might of that knife.

  Ye Qing's gains from this retreat were unprecedented, as it not only allowed Ye Qing to deduce the new Jie Mo Dao, create his own knife path, and understand the will of the knife, but also made Ye Qing truly understand the road he would take in the future. As long as he walked unswervingly along this path, he would definitely be able to reach the power to transcend this universe.

  The new Jie Mo Dao is a cultivation of will and body, condensing an extremely powerful knife soul with one's own will. Ye Qing combined the Evolution Scripture, the Quiet Mind Scripture, and the Jie Mo Dao to create a new Jie Mo Dao, which can be said to have completely integrated the advantages of all three.

  Feeling the power of the newly created Demon Dao, Ye Qing's excitement can be imagined. This technique was completely created according to his own physical condition, and it is also extremely difficult to cultivate. Among billions and billions of living beings, there may not be one person who can cultivate this technique. Even if such a person existed, Ye Qing would not pass it on, because this technique is too perverted. This is also one of Ye Qing's selfish sides.
