Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 852 - 826 Langya Sword Art
Chapter 852: Chapter 826 Langya Sword Art
Tangyu said, "I feel the same way, Sister Qian Shanxue. If we both die here like this, isn’t it a little too tragic? I think people like us shouldn’t meet such a miserable end, so there must be some miracle waiting to happen. Sister Qian Shanxue, do you believe in miracles?"
Qian Shanxue felt a bit helpless. "Believe," she said, given the current situation, there was hardly any room to discuss such matters.
"So, if we manage to get out alive this time, wouldn’t that count as a miracle? If we really create such a miracle, do you think we might end up getting together and falling for each other due to our shared adversity?" Tangyu continued.
"..." Qian Shanxue was speechless. "Instead of fantasizing, let’s think about what to do. We can’t just sit here and wait to die, can we?"
Tangyu nodded and said, "Don’t worry, Sister Qian Shanxue, it’s in times of crisis that my wisdom shines. I remember watching on TV that when humans encounter zombies, they just hold their breath, and then the zombies can’t find them. These dried corpses have no eyes and no consciousness, so how do they locate us? I think it must be by our breath. As long as we hold our breath, these dried corpses won’t find us. Sister Qian Shanxue, let’s quickly hold our breath and try it."
Qian Shanxue thought Tangyu’s words made sense, so the two immediately held their breath. Given their cultivation level, even holding their breath for several hours wasn’t a problem.
However—
They were soon disappointed as it had no effect at all, and the dried corpses still came to attack them.
Qian Shanxue shook her head, "It’s useless. Let’s fight. Even if we die, we should take one down with us." She was in despair.
Tangyu shook his head inwardly; something wasn’t right. Damn, the computer is unreliable: "It seems that it’s the breath on our bodies. As long as there’s human breath, these dried corpses are attracted to us. Unless we can completely seal ourselves off. Breath—Hmm, I’ve got it—"
With a move of his hand, Tangyu suddenly had a bottle, and he scattered its contents around, filling the air with a rich fragrance. These were some Fragrant Medicine Powder he carried with him and rarely used.
Indeed, the Fragrant Medicine Powder changed the breath in the surrounding space. Those dried corpses suddenly seemed ’blind,’ wandering in place and losing their direction.
"Haha, I’m truly a genius. It worked." Tangyu grinned and quickly pulled Qian Shanxue away. Seeing this, Qian Shanxue was dumbfounded.
Soon, the two broke out of the encirclement, and the dried corpses were left spinning in place, lost. Escaping the danger always made one emotional.
Qian Shanxue’s gaze fell on Tangyu. Could it be that he really could create a miracle this time? Could they truly get out alive?
The two quickly entered a grand palace and finally stopped.
"Sister Qian Shanxue, let’s not run around aimlessly anymore. We might end up bumping into other dried corpses. Let’s rest here and find a safe place to hide. The Fragrant Medicine Powder I have is limited, and can only be used two more times at most," Tangyu said.
Qian Shanxue nodded slightly, but her eyes still flickered with worry. "I’m worried about Xiaoxue and the others. I don’t know how they’re doing."
Tangyu also shook his head and sighed. "Yes, I don’t know how they’re doing either. Sister Chen Xi is strong, but even she might not withstand so many dried corpses. Xiaoxue and Xie Lei could be in real danger. I hope they are safe. We’re like Bodhisattvas crossing the river now, struggling to protect ourselves, and we can’t help them at all."
Qian Shanxue shook her head and sighed. "I know, all we can do is pray."
Tangyu began to examine the palace. He saw jade platforms that might be places for teachings. Around the palace walls were some carved patterns. These patterns immediately caught Tangyu’s attention.
"Drawing the sword and singing boldly, releasing sword light at a flick, swinging a moment thousand feet, cutting enemies with a thought—This is a superior swordsmanship, entering the Dao with the sword, treading the sword’s path..."
These patterns were a complete method of sword cultivation, directly pointing to the Heavenly Position, an ultimate realm where one enters the Dao with the sword, becoming a Sword Immortal.
Tangyu cultivated Yin Yang Swordsmanship, initially glimpsing the Yin Yang Path, gaining some understanding of the cultivation’s Great Dao.
Drawing the sword and singing boldly is a kind of joy. Pointing the sword at the Great Dao is a kind of enlightenment.
Tangyu felt a resonance in his heart, longing to walk the path of sword cultivation. A gentleman loves his sword, and Tangyu also loves his sword.
A sword is the origin of ten thousand weapons, the king of ten thousand weapons. Many Daos are connected. The Sword Great Path also leads to numerous Daos’ profound meanings, achieving an ultimate path, aspiring towards Immortal Dao.
Watching this filled Tangyu with excitement, eager to start cultivating right there. The essence and profound meanings of the patterns gave Tangyu a bit of enlightenment.
Qian Shanxue walked over and said, "It’s rumored that Langya Skies Beyond the Skies is renowned for its swordsmanship, producing many powerful Sword Immortals. These patterns should be a relatively complete path to becoming a Sword Immortal. The Sword Great Path is extremely hard to traverse, requiring someone with a sword heart to walk it and possibly achieve something on this path, finally becoming a Sword Immortal, dominating the world. The Sword Immortals of Ancient Times were all powerful, reigning over the world. Unfortunately, this complete path of swordsmanship has been lost. Nowadays, the Ancient Martial World has no Sword Immortal."
"Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, what a realm to aspire to. Dominating the world with the sword, how delightful and joyous that must be." Tangyu’s face was also filled with fervor.
Looking at those patterns, Tangyu was somewhat entranced, eager to start cultivating right now. However, Tangyu knew it was still very dangerous at the moment and absolutely couldn’t cultivate here, so he had to suppress this impulse forcefully. As he gazed at those patterns, it was as if he were enchanted; scenes seemed to flash in his mind, and those patterns seemed to come alive.
Soon, Tangyu felt like he had fallen into a void world where the patterns transformed into real people practicing martial arts before his eyes.
A stream of information inexplicably entered Tangyu’s mind, instantly imparting much knowledge to him.
"Langya Sword Art, Sword Immortal Manual. Cultivate to the extreme to touch the Great Dao, become a Sword Immortal, merging with the sword to shield the heavens."
Besides this information, there was also an inscrutable mantra that entered Tangyu’s mind, which made him extremely delighted. This was clearly his chance, to resonate with these patterns, gain their recognition, and receive the inheritance of Langya Sword Art.
These resonating patterns were evidently left by a great power, yet they ended up benefiting him.
Qian Shanxue, witnessing Tangyu enter a state of self-forgetfulness, was rather amazed; such a state was rare and fortuitous, likely leading to some gains. At this moment, Tangyu indeed reaped tremendous rewards.
Suddenly, a beam of light emitted from the patterns, enveloping Tangyu.
Seeing this, Qian Shanxue couldn’t help but step back in astonishment, staring at Tangyu: "Is this—could it be—transmission of power?"
In the ancient times, great powers left their Taoist lineage for predestined inheritors to unlock a seal and obtain the heritage. Tangyu’s current situation was evidently the same.
"Tangyu truly has great destiny, repeatedly encountering serendipity. At this rate, breaking through to the Imaginary Realm within a year is definitely achievable. Perhaps, Myriad Saints Valley or even the entire Ancient Martial World might see the emergence of the youngest Imaginary Realm expert. Maybe—the future world will change due to him." A thought unexplained sprouted in Qian Shanxue’s mind, startling her.
However, the present situation was not optimistic as the Dark World invaded, the Yao Race rebelled, and the Ancient Martial World were in distress. After this catastrophe, who knew what the world would become?
Bathing in this light, it felt like a gentle spring breeze, comfortable and soothing, while also gaining a trace of Pure Yang Power.
After a while, the light fully receded, the wall returned to normal, and Tangyu emerged from his self-absorbed state, his face filled with joy.
"Haha, I never expected to gain such an excellent opportunity here. Now, I’ve received the inheritance of Langya Sword Art. It’s far superior to Yin Yang Sword Technique. Yin Yang Sword Technique is only suitable for me at the Earthly Realm, while Langya Sword Art can directly ascend to the Heavenly Position, achieving the ultimate realm, destined to be a Sword Immortal." Tangyu was quite excited in his heart.
Besides, he also used this inheritance to break through to the sixth layer of Earthly Realm.
With Yin Yang Sword Technique and Langya Sword Art, Tangyu believed he could handle experts of the seventh and even eighth level of Earthly Realm unflinchingly. At this time, the surge in strength was a life-saving capital.
Qian Shanxue walked over: "Tangyu, how are you?"
Tangyu smiled and said: "Quite a harvest, broke through to the sixth layer of Earthly Realm, and received the inheritance of Langya Sword Art."
"Earthly Realm sixth layer, Langya Sword Art—Sword Immortal’s Sword Art? Langya Skies Beyond the Skies’ Holy Scripture?" Qian Shanxue was utterly astonished; this opportunity was immense.
Langya Sword Art, an object of countless dreams, would provoke a scramble across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Yet, Qian Shanxue understood that it wouldn’t help; such opportunity was reserved for the predestined. For those without fate, power couldn’t ensure acquisition.
Right then, noises approached, and soon several mummified corpses charged in.
"Not good." Qian Shanxue and Tangyu’s faces changed immediately; they were being pursued by mummified corpses again.
Tangyu held his sword and suddenly stabbed it into the wall, triggering a strange ripple that quickly transformed into an extraordinary void passage.
Tangyu pulled Qian Shanxue and jumped into the passage. Once inside, the passage swiftly closed, causing the mummified corpses approaching to halt.
As they entered the passage, Qian Shanxue was filled with doubts. When they landed, she observed the surroundings; it was a completely sealed secret chamber.
"What—" As they looked at a jade pedestal in the center of the chamber, they were profoundly shocked, for a man in ancient attire, appearing about thirty years old, sat cross-legged there.
