Chapter 321 Indestructible Vajra Body, Sword Sect Dharma Body, Transaction
Time flies, and countless days have passed.
By noon on the fifth day, after confirming that Mu Wanqiu had found a breakthrough opportunity and was currently in seclusion, preparing to break through the barrier and enter the Grandmaster realm—the third level of the Outer Realm that countless martial artists dream of—…
Li Xijun then straightened his clothes and reappeared in the sight of everyone in the palace, looking refreshed.
His continuous practice over the past few days has not made him feel tired at all. On the contrary, his aura has become more harmonious and restrained, and his eyes are filled with a bright light.
Not only did he completely solidify the two newly formed Dharma forms, but also, due to the convergence of Yin and Yang and the feedback of the true meaning of Nirvana, his cultivation naturally took a step forward, steadily entering the mid-stage of the fourth level of the Outer Realm.
Feeling the surging power within his body and a clearer perception of the Dao, Li Xijun couldn't help but sigh:
"This Yin-Yang Nirvana Technique is indeed profound and extraordinary, and the rewards are incredibly generous. My own Vermilion Bird Venerable is far superior to Fairy Muyue of the Joyful Union Mystic Maiden Sect, who harbored malicious intentions and tried to scheme against me with the Three Scrolls of Heavenly Fragrance, both in terms of sincerity and the compatibility of the technique itself."
Thinking of this, he even had a fleeting thought that "justice resides in the hearts of the people":
"That Fairy Muyue harbored treacherous intentions, and in the end, I annihilated her soul and body with a single thunder blade; while Wanqiu helped me a great deal, and I also helped her glimpse the path to becoming a Grandmaster. I repay her with a precious jade in return, so as not to betray my reputation as the benevolent and righteous Master Li of Tianjin."
After briefly appearing in the palace to reassure the public, Li Xijun summoned Eunuch Wei and Mu Qingyi to discuss matters.
Soon,
Eunuch Wei bowed deeply and hurried into the hall, almost tiptoeing, a smile playing on his lips before he spoke, his face filled with flattery and awe.
"This old servant greets Your Highness! Congratulations on your completion of seclusion. You look even more radiant than before, and your cultivation has improved remarkably. Truly..."
A string of flattering words flowed out smoothly, as if prepared in advance, and his demeanor was more humble and cautious than ever before, as if afraid of being the slightest bit negligent.
When Mu Qingyi entered next, her gaze toward Li Xijun carried a strange, indescribable quality.
She looked Li Xijun up and down a few times, her gaze lingering for a moment on Li Xijun's obviously refreshed face and improved cultivation. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of relief, understanding, and a subtle embarrassment as a mother and someone who had been through it all.
She was naturally aware that her daughter and the Crown Prince had been "discussing martial arts" in their bridal chamber for five whole days without ever stepping out... Such "diligence" made even her, as a mother, feel a little embarrassed.
Li Xijun felt somewhat embarrassed by Madam Mu's all-seeing gaze. He coughed lightly and quickly got to the point, saying seriously:
"Eunuch Wei, Mother-in-law, I have recently been studying the 'Emperor's Dragon Fist' and have gained some insights. I need to find a quiet place to retreat and cultivate in seclusion for several months to seek a deeper understanding. During this time, all matters of state, large and small, will continue to be handled by you two and the Empress. You must maintain stability and prevent any trouble."
Upon hearing this, the two bowed and agreed.
Eunuch Wei patted his chest and assured His Highness that he would not let him down, and Mu Qingyi also nodded to indicate that she would stabilize the situation.
With the arrangements made, Li Xijun didn't linger any longer and quietly left the imperial city, preparing to find a secluded spot outside the city as usual to travel back to the main world.
however,
He had barely left the capital and entered a remote, mountainous area when his brow furrowed slightly.
In his perception, a faint yet unique aura, carrying the feeling of time standing still, always lingered behind him.
Li Xijun did not turn around, but casually pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly slashed at an empty space behind him!
This seemingly casual gesture actually incorporated a trace of the true essence of the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter".
A faint light flashed at her fingertips, and a subtle yet seemingly intangible sword aura, capable of severing the cycle of life and death, instantly pierced through the air. Where the sword aura passed, subtle ripples appeared in the space, and the surrounding light seemed to dim for a moment.
"laugh!"
The person in the shadows clearly hadn't expected Li Xijun to act so decisively and swiftly.
A clear, melodious sword cry rang out, and a pale yellow figure flashed into view. At the critical moment, the long sword in her hand was drawn from its sheath. The sword trembled, causing the surrounding time to suddenly become viscous and slow down, attempting to use the profound mystery of the "Momentary Eternal Calamity Sword Chapter" to resist and delay the sword energy.
"clang--!"
A crisp yet muffled sound of clashing swords rang out. Although the pale yellow figure barely managed to block the casual sword strike, his body swayed violently, and he staggered back several steps before regaining his balance. His sword-wielding hand trembled slightly, and his blood surged. Clearly, he was extremely uncomfortable from the immense power and strange cyclical intent contained within the sword energy.
The figure stopped, and it was none other than the Fairy Jinghong.
Li Xijun slowly turned around, showing no surprise on her face.
With the strength of his soul that had survived the tribulation of lightning, he had already sensed who the follower was. That finger gesture just now was merely a greeting, with a hint of warning.
A flicker of surprise crossed the usually aloof face of the Fairy of Startling Beauty. She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil within her, and looked at Li Xijun with a complex expression:
"After His Highness the Crown Prince condensed his Dharma Form, his strength indeed increased by leaps and bounds, astonishing the world. I... am ashamed to admit my inferiority."
She paused, her gaze falling on Li Xijun's fingers that hadn't yet retracted, and said with a complicated expression:
"Moreover, Your Highness has now mastered the 'Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter'. Although you have not yet comprehended the legendary Dharma Body level ultimate technique, even this rudimentary form already displays unparalleled sharpness."
Li Xijun nodded slightly on the surface, but inwardly he was filled with emotion:
"Mastery of the Dharma Body level is extremely difficult to master, let alone something like the 'Heavenless Revolving Life and Death Sword Chapter,' which ranks among the five supreme divine skills."
"The reason I was able to initially master this technique is largely due to the personal demonstration by Martial Saint-level beings like the Wood Saint of the main world. Otherwise, I would probably still be like the 'Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Calamity Extinction Blade,' unable to even grasp the basics."
However, he did not explain, but simply looked calmly at Fairy Jinghong, waiting for her to continue.
Fairy Jinghong didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly: "I have two things to tell Your Highness today."
"First, the Grand Master of Vajra Temple, the 'Indestructible King' ranked fifth on the Earthly Ranking, has already emerged from the Western Regions."
Her tone was solemn: "On his journey east, he passed by the headquarters of the Seventy-Two Linked Fortresses of Blood Fiend, 'Soul-Breaking Cliff.' The chief of the fortress, 'Blood Butcher' Li Tianxiong, although always cautious and never listed on the Earth Ranking, is known throughout the martial world as a genuine ninth-level Outer Realm figure. He has also gathered several Dharma Aspect Grandmasters under his command and has occupied the 'Cloud Dream Great Swamp' for many years. His power is enormous, and even the imperial court is quite troubled by it."
"However, when Master Miaofa arrived at the Broken Soul Cliff, despite Li Tianxiong and all the outer realm experts under his command attacking him for half a day, he sat cross-legged on the spot without moving. He endured the chopping and slashing of swords and axes, and the bombardment of supernatural powers, yet his indestructible body was not injured in the slightest."
"In the end, Li Tianxiong was overwhelmed by the boundless power of Buddhism and immediately converted to Buddhism in the Western Regions. As for the remaining stubborn resisters... they were all 'delivered' by Master Miaofa, and none of them survived!"
"This matter has spread throughout the martial arts world. Now, the martial arts forces in the entire Yunmeng Great Swamp and even the surrounding several states are all silent and trembling with fear."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Xijun's eyes.
Despite being surrounded by nine layers of external scenery and attacked by several Dharma Masters for half a day, it remained unharmed.
It can only be said that the Vajra Indestructible Body of Vajra Temple truly lives up to its reputation!
Li Xijun recalled the information about the Grandmasters on the Earth Ranking and the "Three Monks" of Buddhism in the martial arts world, and said:
"I have also heard that in ancient times, a Buddhist master comprehended the Vajra Indestructible Body technique from a single Bodhi seed. This technique is no less powerful than the Shaolin Buddha's Palm. He founded the Vajra Temple, which has been famous for thousands of years. In recent years, only the 'Indestructible King' has mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body technique. He was able to withstand several moves from a high-ranking monk and escape. Hearing about this feat today, I know that the rumors are true. It is indeed powerful."
Fairy Jinghong nodded and solemnly said:
"Indeed, I am here today to remind Your Highness to be careful of this person. According to scattered records in the ancient books of the Sword Sect, in ancient times, the Thunder God seemed to have a long-standing grudge with the Buddhist sect and once personally killed a Dharma Body level Arhat who had a deep connection with the Vajra Temple."
"At the end of ancient times, when the Thunder God was besieged by various forces, the figure of a great Buddhist master also appeared among them. Now that Your Highness has inherited the Thunder God's divine weapon and legacy, it is already a semi-public secret. It is hard to guarantee that this 'Indestructible King' is not heading east with the intention of targeting Your Highness."
After hearing this, Li Xijun's expression turned solemn, and he nodded: "Thank you for informing me, Fairy. I will remember this matter."
Having witnessed the imposing presence of Chi Na Ri from the Golden Wolf Royal Court in the northern desert, Li Xijun was well aware of the combat power represented by a Grandmaster, and naturally took careful notes.
But then,
He changed the subject, looking at Fairy Jinghong:
"The fairy followed us here specifically; surely it wasn't just to inform us about the Vajra Temple?"
Fairy Jinghong readily admitted, "That's right. The second thing is to relay a message from my master."
Upon hearing this, Li Xijun immediately adopted a solemn and serious expression.
Because the master the other party mentioned was none other than Ye Wuqing, the current master of the Sword Sect and a top-ranked Dharma Master!
Such a highly accomplished person, who has achieved the integration of Dharma form with the laws of heaven and earth and merged their primordial spirit into their physical body, thus attaining the Dharma body, would basically be at least a Martial Saint in the main world.
When someone of that stature speaks, Li Xijun naturally has to show respect.
"Your Highness has provided the Sword Sect with generous support, and my master is also grateful for your sincerity. At the same time, my master was very surprised and curious to hear that Your Highness was able to comprehend the true meaning of the 'Heavenly Reincarnation of Life and Death Sword Chapter' from the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Sword."
She looked intently at Li Xijun.
"My master said that if Your Highness is willing, you may go to the Sword Sect in person and have the complete 'Sword Chapter of Life and Death of No Heaven' that you have comprehended copied into our Sword Sect's Scripture Pavilion."
"In exchange, my Sword Sect will certainly offer a generous gift, and Your Highness will not be disappointed. This is a promise made by my master himself, and I urge Your Highness to consider it."
This is a transaction related to supreme martial arts!
Li Xijun's heart stirred slightly. It seemed that the Sword Sect was determined to obtain the "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter".
However, he could understand it. After all, this sword technique was said to have been one of the sword techniques of the Sword Sect back then, so it was normal for the other party to express such thoughts.
He pondered for a moment, then did not immediately agree, saying only, "I am aware of Master Ye's suggestion. I will reply after my current seclusion ends."
Fairy Jinghong did not insist, and nodded slightly: "In that case, I will await Your Highness's good news. Farewell."
Having said that, he vanished into the depths of the dense forest in a flash.
Li Xijun gazed in the direction she had disappeared, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
The threat from the Vajra Temple, the deal with the Sword Sect... the waters of this martial arts world are getting deeper and deeper.
He composed himself, no longer hesitating, and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards a hidden location.
His top priority right now is to return to the main world, further enhance his strength, and form a first-grade golden core.
