Chapter 455: Chapter 159: Escaping the Troubled World, Red Dust Enlightenment Blade

This cultivation skill is a trap...

No one else could possibly learn this!

"Why is it like this?"

Li Yuan thought about that touch of chaos within the Ancestral Talisman, and suddenly had a guess.

’Could it be that the creation of this Visualization Image completely relied on the poems from before my crossover, or is it because I’m a transmigrator? This makes my power possess some traits from the Outer Domain in this universe, thus becoming chaotic? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But it’s just poetry... why to this extent? Could it be that there’s some mysterious karma at play?’

Li Yuan shook his head.

This was pure conjecture, but the process was no longer important, the result was what mattered.

He realized he indeed was trapped.

This cultivation skill is truly a trap, a skill where others, apart from him, would only grow crazier the more they practice it...

"However, I could find a way to pair it with a Clear Heart and Calm Mind method, as long as my heart is at peace, I can wield greater power."

"But where could a Clear Heart and Calm Mind method that fits my cultivation skill be found?"

At this moment, Li Yuan had already reached the level of Fifth Grade Great Perfection, simultaneously organizing his Fifth Grade cultivation methods and pondering the sword skills that complement them.

To be honest, just pressing the Ancestral Talisman into one’s heart, bringing the blade’s vibrations is already a terrifying sword skill.

Yet Li Yuan felt it wasn’t enough.

He once again found himself deeply pursuing sword skills.

Walking during the day thinking...

Holding his wife as he slept, thinking...

This sometimes made Lady Yan even sense the frequency of his sword skill, leaving her speechless.

As for the conflicts between the Lotus Sect and the Five Elements Forces, Li Yuan no longer went there.

Firstly, the chaos over there was escalating, and the risks were increasing. Besides not personally intervening, he had done everything he could for the time being, and there was no need to keep wading into the muddy waters;

Secondly, the reason he went to Shanbao County was actually to harvest seeds. Now that he had harvested them, it was just a matter of waiting for the new seeds to mature.

In fact, he and the seeds fulfilled each other; after he absorbed the talisman seeds, the seeds did not lose their seeds but instead became more stable. However, once those seeds matured, they would be used by the Lotus Sect, making one person into two strong practitioners. Memories and desires were made into Exotic Beasts, the flesh made into Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers.

This matter, Li Yuan still secretly made a note of it. In the future, if the opportunity arose, he still hoped to restore Wendao Palace to a normal cultivation land and no longer the "Wheat Processing Factory" of the Lotus Sect.

Time passed day by day,

Li Yuan journeyed further on the road of studying Fifth Grade sword skills.

These skills were completely unavailable on the market; the only way to obtain them was to create them himself.

Overlord Blade, powerful and forceful, yet slowed, invoking a heroic spirit when used;

Demon Blade, lightning-fast, yet lacking power, evoking a demonic aura when used;

Absolute Blade, indestructible, yet hard to continue, invoking a hermit’s spirit when used...

But whether hero, demon, or hermit, all were torn apart within the chaos of the Ancestral Talisman, and no longer had boundaries, just like an infant’s cry pales in comparison to the various mixed sounds of a bustling market.

This allowed Li Yuan to blend the three, transcend, and reach a higher place...

But it was very difficult.

Four months later...

In the canyon outside the Black Market Ghost Realm.

The youth’s long hair fluttered, a white snake in his sleeve, holding a cyan snake.

The tip of the Cyan Snake Blade pointed diagonally at the ground, the mysterious black and cyan blade humming softly.

The youth picked up stones, iron pieces, various metal blocks one by one, tossed them up, and then turned the blade of the long knife, placing it where they were about to fall.

Those stones, iron pieces, metal blocks instantly split open like tofu meeting a sharp blade, parting smoothly on both sides without even making a sound.

"As expected, practice is useful."

Li Yuan still remembered four months ago.

Back then, although he could easily slice them open, they lacked the smoothness he possessed now.

The Cloud Mountain Path had now entered May.

It was a rare time when the snow had melted, the hills covered in green, with wildflowers all over the mountains...

All kinds of animals in the mountains also came out, running about, poking their heads and seeking food in the forest.

Li Yuan glanced aside and saw a running mountain hyena.

He darted over, suddenly appearing in front of the hyena, his long blade slashing at the hyena like flowing water.

And the hyena, seeing someone suddenly appear, was startled, and dashed backward frantically...

But whether forward or backward, it didn’t matter.

Li Yuan’s blade was everywhere; moving forward would collide, moving backwards would clash...

The hyena, running, simply passed through the blade.

It felt a chill on its body, but after running several meters, it saw its head and spine shoot out from its body like a bloody scorpion, landing with a "thud" on the grassland not far away, sliding half a meter like a bloody snake...

Meanwhile, the headless, spine-less limbs continued to walk forward, then collapsed softly to the ground, blood exploding, forming a grotesque and horrifying scene.

Li Yuan stood firm, looking at the blade in his hand, then at the dead hyena.

"The hyena didn’t immediately realize its death, but in fact, I had already completely dismembered it with my blade, like a chef carving an ox? Too sharp, too smooth, so even death was imbued with a sense of beauty."

He strolled, feeling the move he had just performed, silent, yet indestructible, seemingly hiding the speed of the Demon Blade, yet containing the power of the Absolute Blade, but more exaggeratedly, without any sound or extraneous force spilling out.

Li Yuan walked and walked, arrived at a stream, plucked a blade of grass, held it in his mouth, feeling the vitality of spring’s revival, watching the water flow in front of him, rippling like silk and satin.
