79: Chapter 077 Combat Power Nearly Five!_2 79: Chapter 077 Combat Power Nearly Five!_2 His body, which originally had some imperfections, had been completely taken care of by his master.

His Master hadn’t died, yet with the last bit of his Soul Power, transcended the rules of this realm, and eradicated many hazards for Zhou Yan.

It seemed like no significant help, but it was far more important than advancing ten realms.

Because his memories were now fully integrated, Zhou Yan’s cognitive ability had also increased to a frightful level.

Moreover, he had suddenly understood some knowledge about arrays and elixirs, but this knowledge, bound by Heaven and Earth Rules, needed to be transformed into Sword Dao World’s knowledge before it could be used.

And because the memories were completely integrated, Zhou Yan realized that his Master, during both instances, had no ill intentions.

Yet the first time, he merely considered him an avatar.

The second time, feeling a different significance, and his life being short with bitter experiences, he felt utterly despondent and saw himself as a continuation of his own life, like his own child, willingly making ultimate sacrifices.

Maybe it was for this reason that his Master eradicated the battle memories and the experiences of Enlightenment attached to his soul, so he couldn’t just enjoy the results—this was truly an attempt to let him find his path to Enlightenment better, a genuinely painstaking effort.

So, Zhou Yan developed a great liking for his Master and the place called ‘Earth’ where his Master came from.

He had stood there for a long time, sorting through these memories, and he felt as if he had undergone a century’s baptism, maturing significantly.

At the same time, his eyes, like vast ancient wood, had also deepened—although he had reached the Sword Intent Realm before the age of sixteen, which meant his appearance hadn’t changed much, still looking about fifteen or sixteen, his eyes had deepened immensely.

But such a look, after lasting a while, faded, and he returned to his youthful, vigorous appearance.

These memories, once integrated, unified body and mind—he was still himself, with no trace of his Master’s influence due to the integration.

It wasn’t forgetting everything about his Master, but because of the integration, he moved towards rebirth, and through integration, Zhou Yan found himself even more.

…

After meditating for nearly three days and nights, Zhou Yan paid tribute to his departed Master, then finally stood up.

He could gain nothing more from this space, but due to the realm of Sword Heart Clarity, many of his doubts were instantly enlightened.

He carefully pondered the Second Form of Xingyi Dragon Form, the True·Desolate Dragon Sword Technique, and indeed, due to the influence of Sword Heart Clarity, this form was perfected.

Without the enlightenment of doubts, deeper comprehension was naturally unachievable.

The Third Form of Xingyi Dragon Form, the True·Yan Long Sword Technique, remained elusive to him.

Even in the special state of Sword Heart Clarity, it was so, but Zhou Yan took this opportunity to carefully ponder and comprehend his Superior Water Sword Technique countless times back and forth, continually deriving and refining its nine forms, enhancing its power.

Thus, time passed unknowingly, until the snowflakes in this Heaven and Earth were almost depleted, and the Heaven and Earth seemed a little unstable, Zhou Yan then finally woke up again.

His Realm, under such a furious barrage of autonomous soul energy, reached the Peak of the First Layer of Sword Heart Clarity.

Beyond this Realm, because his understanding of the Sword Heart Realm was insufficient, Zhou Yan couldn’t break through anymore.

As for forcibly breaking through without understanding, after Sword Intent Realm, forcing it was not possible, because the requirements for understanding beyond Sword Intent Realm were incredibly high.

This realm left Zhou Yan very satisfied, and with various abilities bolstering him, his Combat Power reached the peak of breaking four!

It was through this careful calculation and sensing that Zhou Yan deeply understood that there’s no mediocrity among those who reached the Sword Heart Realm, as it was impossible to break through forcibly beyond Sword Intent Realm!

Without comprehension, it was impossible to break the shackles of the realm and advance to the next.

Therefore, beyond Sword Heart Realm, every Cultivator was incredibly powerful.

At this time, breaking four was the true level!

If someone previously in breaking four followed the earlier cultivation progress up to now, having Combat Power breaking three was already an exceptional myth!

And the vast chasm between Sword Heart and the later Sword Spirit Realm was simply despairing!

Breaking three, this difficulty was immense!

Otherwise, why wouldn’t a true Level Four True Spirit genius appear in a hundred thousand years?!

At this realm, Zhou Yan finally knew that true Combat Power, if one wanted to break four, was unimaginable, and his Combat Power had reached the peak of breaking four, nearing close to five!

Which is to say, although only at the peak of Sword Intent First Layer Heaven, Zhou Yan could now rival practitioners of Sword Spirit Second Layer Heaven!

Beyond Sword Heart Realm, the three terrifying realms were Sword Spirit, Sword Soul, Sword Spirit Realm!

That top genius of Wangchuan Mansion, Ji TaiXu, a Dual Sword Souls practitioner!

Zhou Yan thought about it and couldn’t help but gasp, shocked at the realization.

Ignorance is bliss, only when one knows does one understand its terrifying aspects.

Although he didn’t have much understanding of Sword Dao, with his Grandmaster-level insight and comprehension, Zhou Yan knew that Sword Soul was basically similar to the war beasts mentioned by his Master.

Considering the Essence Blood he had condensed, one million Essence Blood could condense a War Beast’s soul!

The requirements for Sword Soul might be slightly lower, but at least hundreds of thousands of Ancient Essence Blood were needed to condense a Sword Soul!

Dual Sword Souls…

How many would that be?

He had nearly perished in such a valuable place, spending countless time to condense just a thousand Essence Blood, very nearly exploding himself!

Zhou Yan felt somewhat embarrassed, having boasted in front of the Palace Master of Bixue Palace that he intended to condense Three Sword Souls!

This…

this was just asking to be mocked!

Really, how… ignorant!

“Damn, that was embarrassing, but…

who says with my abilities, I definitely can’t condense three Sword Souls?

I already have the Three Qi Columns, the basic requirements are already met, so what is there to fear?!

Maybe even Ji TaiXu at my age hadn’t condensed a thousand Ancient Essence Blood of his clan yet!”

Helpless, Zhou Yan could only comfort himself that way.

“It’s time to go out, I don’t know how long it’s been, and I don’t know what’s happening outside?

My hair here has grown two meters…”

Zhou Yan muttered to himself, then with a shake of his head, his extremely dark hair, like a cascading waterfall, flew in the wind, swaying, occasionally flashing with the light of spiritual Tao rules.
