C179 Using Beasts to Practice the Sword
"No, as long as there is a glimmer of hope,i will not give up!"
Yih Xuan's eyes were filled with determination.
"Fortunately,i was prepared in advance. The Ferocious Beast meat in the Primordius Ring can basically let me not have to worry about food for the next few years. A few years is enough for many things to happen! "
Yih Xuan had already prepared for a long period of preparation.
If an ordinary person were to face such a desperate situation, they would have probably given up on themselves long ago.
In this dark environment, endless loneliness was constantly invading his heart. It was even possible for him to commit suicide because of this.
However, Yih Xuan was different. In his heart, he had a firm belief, and his will was unshakable.
Even in such an environment, he could quickly get rid of the trauma in his heart and quickly think of favorable conditions to motivate himself.
"I didn't feel any problems yesterday. From the looks of it, this maze changed at least once a day. In a day's time,i can already travel hundreds of kilometers. Maze formations that can change normally aren't very large. "
Yih Xuan lowered his head and thought deeply. "The array needs energy to be activated. I have been walking for so long, but I have not seen a single person. This means that the thousand people who came in were either sent into different maze, or this maze is very big."
"Whether it's the former or the latter, in order to accommodate all of these 1000 people, the total area of this maze is at least several million kilometers! Such a huge maze will definitely require an incomparably astonishing amount of energy! "
"Although the master of this Abyss Devil Palace is very powerful and can be considered to be at the top of the entire continent, to take out so much energy all at once is also not an easy thing."
"This several million miles should be the limit of this maze. No matter how much it increases, it won't be able to increase much. On average, if it's several million miles, a person can only reach a few thousand miles at most. "
" I can travel several hundred kilometers per day. This is only when I haven't used my full strength. If I go all out,i can travel a thousand kilometers per day. That's not a problem at all."
"A maze will have an exit. If this maze is millions of miles wide, Then I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life. "
"However, it is extremely difficult to set up a maze formation that is millions of miles wide. My Diyuan Sword Sect's Cult Guarding Formation, the Low-grade Heaven Rank Formation, the Twelve Zodiacs Guarding Sword Formation, can only cover an area of a few dozen miles."
"A maze formation that covers an area of thousands of miles is already incredible. A maze formation that covers an area of millions of miles. I'm afraid that only the legendary Divine Array Masters can set it up."
A trace of reverence flashed across Yih Xuan's heart, and then he shook his head. "Divine Array Masters are the top existences in the entire Xuanyuan Continent. Their numbers are incomparably rare, and their status is much higher than many ancient mighty figures!"
"Although the master of this Devil Palace is powerful, he shouldn't be a divine array master. However, it can't be ruled out that the master of this Devil Palace is on good terms with a Divine Array Master, and he specially invited this Divine Array Master to set up this earth-shattering grand array for him."
Yih Xuan let out a long breath and said, "Everything has to wait for exploration. We'll talk about it later. If it's the grand formation that covers thousands of miles,i will be able to step into it in a few days' time. Whether it's true or not will naturally be known by then."
" At least for now,i'm not completely hopeless! "
Yih Xuan clenched his fist, his eyes shining with hope.
After Yih Xuan sorted out his thoughts, he set off again. This time, his footsteps were obviously much faster.
Unknowingly, another day passed.
In this day's time, Yih Xuan explored several hundred miles of land.
Adding it up to yesterday, Yih Xuan had already explored more than a thousand miles.
Yih Xuan only rested for a short while and was ready to continue exploring.
But at this moment, a voice came from afar and entered Yih Xuan's ears.
This sound was ear piercing and chaotic.
"It's that Bat Beast!"
Yih Xuan's eyes lit up.
The voice of this Bat Beast was very special. As long as one heard it once, it would be very easy to remember.
Sure enough, as Yih Xuan had expected, the Bat Beast appeared in front of him a moment later.
When they saw Yih Xuan, hundreds of Bat Beast let out waves of sound waves and rushed towards him while screaming.
"Good timing!"
Yih Xuan felt sorry that he could only fight with this Bat Beast for an hour yesterday.
Now that this Bat Beast was delivered to his doorstep, it could be said that it was exactly what he wanted!
With a slash of his sword, Yih Xuan instantly clashed with the hundreds of Bat Beast.
Yih Xuan was still using the Basic Sword Technique, and his strength was still at the same level as the Bat Beast. Even if he attacked, he would only knock them back, and not kill them.
In an instant, Yih Xuan struck out more than a hundred times, quickly forming a sword net in front of him.
This sword net seemed to be very elastic, and in an instant, over a hundred Bat Beast bounced back because of this sword net.
But in the next moment, the remaining hundreds of strange beasts immediately rushed in front of Yih Xuan, biting and clawing at him, wanting to tear him into pieces.
Unfortunately, Yih Xuan's body was terrifyingly strong. It was not something that these tiny Bat Beast could break through.
Yih Xuan's body shook and squeezed. In a flash, he appeared a hundred meters away.
Hundreds of Bat Beast screamed.
The next round of killing began again.
An hour later, Yih Xuan was holding the Zixiao Sword with a calm expression on his face.
On the opposite side, hundreds of Bat Beast were screaming as they pounced towards him.
In an instant, Yih Xuan struck out hundreds of times with his sword. A huge purple sword net was formed, surrounding all the Bat Beast.
In the next moment, the hundreds of Bat Beast were pushed back at the same time.
At this point, Yih Xuan could be considered to have mastered the sword technique to block the hundreds of strange beasts at the same time.
In that instant, Yih Xuan even felt that his sword intent had increased by quite a bit, and was a step closer to the second level of sword intent,lightness-in-Heaviness.
When he was still in the Mystic Spirit Secret Realm, his sword intent had already reached the Large Success Stage of Lightness-in-Heaviness, and he could break through to the peak at any time.
After a few days of cultivation after breaking through to the Mystic Spirit Secret Realm, Yih Xuan's sword intent had reached the peak.
During the two months of concocting pills with the Heaven Pill elder, although Yih Xuan did not practice his sword once, at that time, his heart was as calm as water. He had turned his Sword Dao into the Dao of alchemy. The two had merged. Water merged. He had actually comprehended a trace of the Lightness-in-Heaviness Sword Intent!
Under the catalyzation of this strand of weightlifting sword intent, Yih Xuan's comprehension of sword intent increased rapidly, and actually reached the level of perfection in an instant.
The lightness was like weight. The most fundamental thing was the tranquility of the heart. It was the lightness of the heart.
After the lightness of the heart, even under the pressure of Mount Tai, it could still be done with ease.
In the past, Yih Xuan had thought too highly of the sword in his heart. He could pick it up, but he did not know how to put it down.
In the two months that he had been by the Heavenly Pill Elder's side, Yih Xuan had focused on the Dao of alchemy. He did not touch the Sword Dao, nor did he even touch the sword.
His mind was immersed in the Dao of alchemy, and there was no sword without him.
At that moment, Yih Xuan had truly let go.
But letting go did not mean giving up. Everything could only be comprehended more deeply after one understood how to give up.
Yih Xuan understood the deeper meaning of the Sword Dao.
Yih Xuan's previous sword intent was like a huge mountain that took root in the Sword Dao world. Although it was unshakable, after all, he had only come into contact with a small part of the world, so he was unable to come into contact with the real world of the way of the sword.
But now, Yih Xuan's mountain of sword intent had started to turn into a cloud of sand and dust, drifting gently in the world of the sword, and gradually began to come into contact with this vast world of the sword.
"The sword path is very big, and I can't even explore a billionth of it right now. But I will definitely go and explore it even if I have to spend my entire life!" Yih Xuan silently swore in his heart.
Although Yih Xuan repelled these Bat Beast, he did not injure them.
After being struck by the sword, the Bat Beast only shook a little.
After stabilizing themselves, the Bat Beast once again pounced towards Yih Xuan.
If it was a sentient Magic Beast, it would have fled long ago if it knew that it was no match for Yih Xuan. It would never fight with Yih Xuan for such a long time, and it would never allow Yih Xuan to continue practicing his sword like this.
However, these Bat Beast didn't have any intelligence. They only knew that Yih Xuan was their target, and their purpose of existence was to kill Yih Xuan.
As long as they still had a breath left in them, they would definitely pounce on Yih Xuan, bite him, grab him wildly, and tear him apart.
Yih Xuan sent out another few hundred sword strikes, and these hundreds of Bat Beast were repelled once again.
After a while, these hundreds of Bat Beast once again screamed and pounced towards Yih Xuan.
Yih Xuan strolled through the tunnel, using these hundreds of Bat Beast to temper his sword technique time and time again.
Yih Xuan was not in a hurry to kill these hundreds of Bat Beast. After all, he was only able to block the attacks of these hundreds of Bat Beast at the same time, so he still needed some time to get used to it.
It was rare for him to have such a good 'sparring partner'. If he didn't make good use of it, even Yih Xuan himself would feel sorry for himself.
However, at this moment, Yih Xuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"It has already been half an hour. Why haven't these Bat Beast left yet?"
Although Yih Xuan had some doubts in his heart, the sword in his hand didn't stop.
After half a quarter of an hour, Yih Xuan had completely mastered it.
With a light thrust of the sword, a sword net was formed, pushing back hundreds of Bat Beast.
"Good! In an instant, he struck out hundreds of times, each of which was incomparably precise! My strength has once again increased by a level! "
Yih Xuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of excitement on his face. He had already struck out hundreds of times in an instant, and this was something he could do long ago. Not only him, but any high-ranked profound master who cultivated wind attribute profound arts could also do it.
However, if one wanted to be precise with the sword, then not everyone could do it.
In an instant, the sword was swung hundreds of times. The powerful soul power and arm strength of a high-level wind attribute profound practitioner could completely support it.
The only flaw was that the soul power and arm strength could not be synchronized.
It could not be synchronized. This meant that he was unable to slash out with his sword in a specific trajectory. This result was that sometimes, he would accidentally hurt himself and cause trouble for himself.
Usually, the number of times a high-level Mystic could instantly strike out with his sword was around ten times. Even a Sect Leader level expert could at most unleash a sword over a hundred times in an instant.
Within the range of this attack, they could guarantee that the sword they unleashed would be precise.
If they wanted to achieve Yih Xuan's current speed of several hundred times in an instant, and his sword was precise, they had to at least reach the Profound Sect level.
It was also because of these hundreds of Bat Beast that Yih Xuan had a sudden idea. He thought of using these hundreds of Bat Beast to train his sword technique, which would increase the number of times he could use his sword in an instant.
If it was an ordinary high level Mystic Master, the first reaction they would have when encountering these hundreds of Bat Beast would be to kill them.
Even if someone were to think of using these hundreds of Bat Beast to train their sword techniques, without Yih Xuan's conditions, they would not be able to do the same.
In just a short two hours, he had already struck out hundreds of times in an instant.
The reason why Yih Xuan was able to increase the number of times he could strike in such a short period of time was because of two very important natural conditions.
First, his soul power was extremely sensitive. He could react faster and correct the direction of his sword, making it easier for his soul power to keep up with the rhythm of his sword.
Secondly, his body was incomparably strong, allowing him to ignore the attacks of the Bat Beast, allowing it to bite and scratch at will.
It was precisely because of these two points that Yih Xuan was able to strike hundreds of times in such a short period of time.
It was absolutely impossible for an ordinary high level Mystic Master to do so without several years or even decades of effort.
For Yih Xuan to be able to do something that others would need at least several years in a short period of two hours, he could be said to be a freak among freaks! Not many people had been able to do it in countless years.
And the increase in the number of sword strikes in an instant was naturally even more beneficial.
Thinking about it, the enemy had only used his sword dozens of times in an instant. But you had struck out hundreds of times in an instant, a full ten times difference!
Just like that, how many more chances did you have to attack?
Perhaps the enemy was too powerful, and a single sword attack would not be able to harm him, but what about dozens or hundreds of sword attacks? This was a true divine artifact that transcended realms to kill enemies!
"These hundreds of Bat Beast actually haven't left yet. That's good too. I can use them to make my sword technique rise to a higher level!"
Yih Xuan's eyes flashed. He actually gave up on defending and rushed into the hundreds of Bat Beast in an instant.
The hundreds of Bat Beast instantly screamed and pounced onto Yih Xuan's body, biting and clawing wildly.
Yih Xuan didn't move. He circulated the Chaotic Sword Technique in his body. With a shake of his body, these hundreds of Bat Beast were sent flying several meters away.
At this moment, it was as if Yih Xuan had fallen into a giant black bell. His surroundings were filled with Bat Beast.
The hundreds of Bat Beast shook their bodies, and then lunged at Yih Xuan while screaming.
There were Bat Beast in all directions around Yih Xuan's front, back, left, and right!
These Bat Beast pounced towards him at the same time, leaving no room for him to escape. It was much more difficult for Yih Xuan to block them than before.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Yih Xuan instantly struck out hundreds of times, but only a few dozens of Bat Beast were repelled. The remaining hundreds of Bat Beast all pounced on his body, biting and clawing wildly.
For a moment, Yih Xuan seemed to have returned to the time when he first faced these hundreds of Bat Beast.
Yih Xuan wasn't discouraged at all. He knew that this was a necessary process.
As long as he could withstand such an attack, his strength would definitely increase by a large margin!
And most importantly, he would no longer have any blind spots from now on. He could instantly block any attack from any direction!
His body shook, and the hundreds of strange beasts on Yih Xuan's body were pushed away once again.
The hundreds of Bat Beast screamed loudly, and once again pounced towards Yih Xuan.
A new round of sword practice had begun.
Facing attacks from all directions at the same time was much more difficult than facing only one attack. It was as if they had to divide their attention to count.
After a quarter of an hour, Yih Xuan could only block the attacks of fifty Bat Beast at the same time.
After half an hour, Yih Xuan could block the attacks of seventy Bat Beast.
After thirty minutes, Yih Xuan could block the attacks of a hundred Bat Beast.
At this time, Yih Xuan had gradually mastered the trick of blocking attacks like this.
When the sword stabbed out, a circle of purple light that looked like a screw would appear around Yih Xuan.
"As long as you give me another four hours,i will definitely be able to form a sword shield that looks like a bell shield around my body, and block the attacks of hundreds of Bat Beast at the same time!" Yih Xuan thought to himself.
But right at this moment, the hundreds of Bat Beast actually flew into the sky at the same time, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yih Xuan sheathed his sword and stood there. He raised his head and looked in the direction where the hundreds of Bat Beast had disappeared, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"The first time was an hour, and the second time was an hour. Furthermore, it was all at night. Is there some kind of connection between them?"
