Chapter 141 Eighth Heaven

  A miniature world of its own.

  The wind howled across the grassland, immediately cut into countless fragments by the soaring sword energy, the originally quiet riverbank turned into a battlefield of slaughter, and the dazzling sword light could not block out the two figures in fierce combat.

  Twenty-seven styles of the Borneo Thundercloud Swordsmanship, "Wind and Thunder Rising", "Thunderbolt Chasing the Deer", "Thunder Snake's Frenzied Dance" and "Wind and Thunder Stirring" were unleashed in succession by Qin Yun, with his flying sword tip flashing like a thunderstorm, carrying boundless might as he heavily pressed down on his opponent!

  When Qin Yun finally cultivated this set of swordsmanship to the realm of great perfection, he could finally gain the upper hand in front of the Soul Spirit Sword Guest of the Small Qiankun World and proudly show off his skills!

  If it weren't for the limitations of his current realm, and without the stimulation of a congenital level power to unleash his sword momentum, he could even condense the Wind Thunder Sword Intention, reaching unprecedented heights.

  Even so, the Soul Sword Guest who was originally able to kill Qin Yun with one sword, under Qin Yun's surging offensive, retreated step by step, only having the power to defend and no ability to counterattack.

  Clang!

  The sword energy shook and the two collided before quickly separating again.

  Qin Yun's sword soared, and in an instant, his body and sword merged into one, shooting forward with a burst of speed. The sword rainbow flashed, cutting through space with the momentum of a thunderbolt, piercing through the Soul Spirit Sword Guest's body!

  Time seemed to have stopped in an instant, with only the sword energy bringing up a whistling thunder that went straight up to the sky, unceasing.

  This sword, Qin Yun broke through the boundary of his realm's power and vaguely condensed three parts of the Wind Thunder Sword.

  What a pity it was just a fleeting moment.

  The Soul Sword Guest's body shook violently, and a complex light suddenly flashed in his originally calm and emotionless eyes.

  Pain, enlightenment, despair and a hint of faint relief.

  The next moment, he turned into countless rays of light, fluttering and falling on the lush green grass.

  Qin Yun stood with his sword in hand, his heart full of joyful triumph.

  After many days and nights, countless efforts and struggles, he finally successfully defeated his opponent.

  This victory is so hard-won, every moment is worth savoring.

  More importantly, with this last sword, Qin Yun was able to glimpse the profound meaning of Sword Intent, which would be extremely beneficial for his future sword cultivation.

  Endless chaotic information flooded into Qin Yun's mind, and in the blink of an eye, many memories that didn't belong to him were etched.

  That is the memory left by the Soul Sword Guest before its complete disappearance, with the insights and epiphanies of grinding and refining, with the life-and-death experience of fighting strong enemies, and also with the vicissitudes of pursuing the sword path through thousands of mountains and rivers.

  Every bit and every drop all became Qin Yun's memories.

  Qin Yun suddenly realized that his understanding of the Qian Kun Supplementing Heaven Stone was still too little, too little!

  With an indescribable feeling, he left the Small Qian Kun World.

  The Xuan Huang Cave was as quiet and serene as ever, with only the inlaid pearls on the wall emitting a soft glow that evenly illuminated every corner of the room.

  Qin Yun sat cross-legged on a futon, circulating his Xuan Gong, and his true Qi converged at the Dan Tian in his lower abdomen.

  At this moment, Qin Yun's spirit is at its peak, carrying the momentum of victory in the Small Dry Sky world, and the moment to impact a higher level has arrived.

  The majestic Nine Yang True Qi is repeatedly compressed in the Dan Tian, the Nine Yang Fire Seed shines brightly, its color changing from golden yellow to orange red, becoming increasingly condensed and substantial.

  Until the true energy of Dantian was accumulated to its peak, Qin Yun suddenly urged the Xuan Qi to descend and rush towards the last bottleneck with a vast and majestic momentum!

  Refining Qi Sevenfold Heaven, impacting Refining Qi Eightfold Heaven, requires piercing through the Dan Tian Great Hole. This pass is extremely important for life and death; if there is an error during the impact process, it is highly likely that one's cultivation will be completely ruined or even result in physical death and spiritual extinction.

  However, Qin Yun was unscrupulously urging his true energy, breaking through the blocked meridians with a momentum like breaking bamboo, and pushing forward to the critical point of Dan Xue in one breath!

  In the small world of Qian Kun, dozens of exercises and the real foundation of Jiuyang Xuan Gong's second turn, his confidence reached an unprecedented strongest degree!

  Scorching true energy struck the meridians, and the obstacles blocking in front of the Dan Tian's great cave were shattered like withered wood. A strand of pure original Yang energy was quietly drawn out.

  The true yang surged, the Qin cloud descended, and a pillar suddenly rose to support the sky. Having absorbed the nine yang true energy of the sun, it became even more unstoppable, sweeping away all obstacles in one move, completing the final breakthrough!

  Jiuyang Xuan Gong is the inner Qi Gong method of utmost fire and utmost Yang, which can only be practiced by men. Breaking through the lower Dan Tian's big hole not only enhances one's strength and realm but also has extremely important significance for the practice of Xuan Gong.

  With the integration of Benyuan Yangli, Jiuyang Zhenqi will become even more powerful and break through Sanzhuan is imminent.

  It was precisely because of the nourishment and growth of Benyuan Yang's power that the true energy of Qihai rapidly expanded to the edge of loss of control, with fierce energy surging up and down in silence. The Nine Yang Fire Seed swallowed and spat out the true energy without stopping, shrinking and expanding, as Qin Yun's Dantian seemed to have become a refining furnace!

  However, Qin Yun did not show any signs of panic at all.

  Xiao Zhou Tian's cycle was complete, and he immediately retracted the Nine Yang True Qi, pouring the surging energy into the meridians and acupoints throughout his body, avoiding the rapidly expanding Yang Fire True Qi from backfiring on himself.

  This pass is extremely dangerous, and the harmony of yin and yang can easily lead to the threat of self-immolation. It usually requires timely ingestion of high-grade spiritual medicine to neutralize it in order to avoid going mad from entering fire.

  However, Qin Yun was different from others. He could input the excess true energy that Dan Tian Jing Mai hole couldn't hold into Qian Kun Bu Tian Shi, and easily resolved the most likely danger.

  The unruly Jiu Yang True Qi gradually became gentle and calm under his timely guidance.

  Qin Yun stood up tall, his pitch-black eyes gleaming with a captivating aura.

  After a month and a half of dedicated cultivation, he finally broke through the boundary once again, advancing to the eighth heaven of Qi Refining, only one step away from achieving Great Completion in Qi Refining!

  It's time to go Qin Yun touched his messy long hair and thought.

  Although Qingyun Shizu had given him special permission to cultivate in the Xuan Huang Cave, this was originally a privilege reserved for inner disciples. As an outer disciple who had stayed here for so long, he should be content with what he had already received.

  At the thought of it, Qin Yun immediately gathered his few personal belongings and left the quiet room of the cave mansion.

  ...Walking out of the cave entrance, the bright sunlight shone on Qin Yun's slightly pale face.

  He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

  On the top of Chuiyun Peak, it's the time when spring is in full bloom. Flowers are blooming all over the mountains and fields, filling the air with the fragrance of grass and flowers, making people feel carefree and joyful.

  "Qin Yun, are you going out of the pass?"

  A low voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

  Qin Yun immediately turned around and bowed respectfully: "The disciple's injuries have all recovered, the work is complete, and preparations are made to go down the mountain today. I was just about to bid farewell to Master!"

  The newcomer looked at Qin Yun with a look of admiration in his eyes: "Eightfold Refining Heaven, three thousand new disciples, you are indeed an outstanding one!"

  "At your current rate of progress, it won't be long before you enter the ranks of the Thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and Seventy-two Earthly Fiends!"

  This is a very high praise, and also Qingyunzi's expectation of Qin Yun.

  "Thank you, Master!" Qin Yun hesitated slightly and asked: "Master, may I ask about my master..."

  Qingyunzi smiled slightly and said, "Your master is fine, everything is all right. After you return, prepare to participate in the Fuyun Jianjian debate, remember not to lose face for your master!"

  Qin Yun replied without hesitation: "I will definitely work hard and give it my all!"

  The annual Floating Clouds Mountain Sword Conference of the Tiancheng Sword Sect is about to begin, as one of the most concerned events for the sect's disciples. At that time, tens of thousands of disciples will participate, competing for the honor, identity and status symbolized by the title of "Jie".

  Sword Disciple, Swordman, Swordmaster, Sword Sage, Sword God!

  All disciples who enter the Sword Sect to learn swordsmanship can be called sword apprentices, but to obtain a higher level of swordsman or sword master title, not only must they gain recognition from the sect, but also defeat many peers.

  The swordsmen recognized by the Tiancheng Sword Sect are golden signboards that resonate throughout the nine states, and even a low-ranking swordsman can become an honored guest of the aristocratic merchants.

  Even within Jianzong, different ranks represent different treatments. Those with the rank of Sword Master or above can even stay in the sect for a long time to hold positions.

  For the leaders of each branch and sect of Jianzong, whether their disciples can make a name for themselves at the Floating Cloud Mountain Swordsmanship Conference and compete for higher ranks is also related to their face and reputation.

  Therefore, each session of the Floating Clouds Debating Sword has always been a spectacle, especially the competition for the 36 Tian Gang Di Sha positions is extremely fierce, and the good martial spirit of the Jianzong sect has been passed down continuously.

  "Go ahead!"

  Qingyunzi nodded and disappeared in an instant without a trace.

  Qin Yun bowed again and then walked down from Chasing Cloud Peak back to Cloud Water Pavilion.

  It's been a month and a half since I came back, the Cloud Water Pavilion hasn't changed much, still quiet, peaceful, clean and tidy, only the wildflowers in the corner of the wall are more lush.

  Pushing open the gate of the small courtyard, Qin Yun's eyes immediately fell on the green willow under the shade of the tree.

  The girl sat at a small table, writing rapidly and calculating the dry accounts that she would never tire of.

  Hearing the door sound, she raised her head and saw Qin Yun. A joyful smile immediately appeared on her pretty face: "Qin Yun, you've finally come back!"

  Looking at her smile, Qin Yun's heart involuntarily surged with a warm feeling: "I'm back!"

  There is someone waiting for you and welcoming your return, that's what home feels like.

  "It smells terrible!"

  The girl who came up to greet her scrunched up her little nose and showed a disgusted expression: "How long hasn't it been since you took a bath? Your hair is so long!"

  Qin Yun scratched his head awkwardly, the conditions of Xuanyuan Cave were not bad, but the good places had already been taken by the inner disciples who had closed their doors earlier. He was able to stay inside for over a month, which was already a rare honor and privilege. As for other aspects, he naturally couldn't compare it to his original residence, which was much more convenient.

  Green willow pinched her nose and pulled up his sleeve, saying in a low voice: "You go to your room first to get some clean clothes, I'll go to the bathroom to prepare for you, the kitchen just boiled hot water!"

  Qin Yun originally wanted to say that it wasn't necessary to go to so much trouble, but Lü Liu was busy making arrangements, so he could only follow suit and return to his own room.

  In the back room, he put away his personal belongings and found some clean clothes. Qin Yun went straight to the bathroom.
