"This place hasn’t changed one bit!"
No change ant that since they left, no living being had set foot here.
As soon as Xu Ran finished speaking, the ordinary wall painting emitted a burst of white light, like the first ray of dawn piercing through the thin mist, extrely striking on this cliff.
Xu Ran and the Peregrine Falcon saw this and imdiately approached the stone, their eyes full of anticipation, staring unblinkingly.
As they moved closer, the white light began to flow and converge slowly, as if an invisible hand was ticulously sketching a perfect masterpiece. A vortex-shaped passage appeared on the stone.
This passage seed to be woven from pure light and shadow, its edges sparkling like starry gems embedded around it, with wisps of white aura flowing from these points of light.
These streams of white light floated like a gentle veil, sotis transparent, sotis solid, obscuring the true scene within.
[Immortal Sword Skill Perfection Required to Enter]
These familiar large characters appeared in the center of the illusory passage, ethereal yet real.
Behind this passage lay a tantalizing ancient opportunity. Unfortunately, the hard condition lay there; no matter how much one wanted to enter, it was impossible. Even Xu Ran now was quite envious, but alas, the [Immortal Sword Skill] wasn’t perfected.
"Since this passage can detect the progress of the [Immortal Sword Skill], can I test my current level of the [Immortal Sword Skill]?"
Xu Ran knew his [Immortal Sword Skill] hadn’t reached perfection, but at least he could test his level.
Previously in the village, once tested, the commotion would be too great. In the Great Mountain, there were too many Demon Beasts. Once unleashed, it would likely cause quite the panic.
But here, atop this thousand-fathom cliff, even if he unleashed it all, even causing panic, the Demon Beasts below the cliff could do nothing.
With this thought, Xu Ran’s azure eyes revealed a glimr of anticipation.
"I don’t know what level my beginner-level [Immortal Sword Skill] truly is!"
Xu Ran closed his eyes, reining in his energy. There was no Spiritual Qi fluctuation on him, standing as if he were a re infant.
The Peregrine Falcon beside him noticed its master Xu Ran suddenly act this way. Its eyes flickered, knowing he intended to test the full force of the [Immortal Sword Skill].
The Peregrine Falcon was also quite curious about this.
Ever since Xu Ran mastered the [Immortal Sword Skill], he quickly crafted his first Immortal Sword. Every appearance, the Innate Qi emanated from his body, coupled with his formidable cultivation. A re strike was enough to slay an enemy, never knowing what the full force of the [Immortal Sword Skill] was like.
"I wonder what kind of montum will be created by the master’s full-force strike!"
Though Xu Ran appeared now with reined-in energy without a trace of Spiritual Qi, achieving this required fine control over Spiritual Qi, sothing only attainable after decades of honing. Even for the Peregrine Falcon, who had many encounters, reaching this level was impossible.
No matter how energy was reined in, making the Spiritual Qi inside the body co to a standstill, there would always be so incompatible Spiritual Qi that couldn’t be controlled, thus revealing one’s aura.
This might be unbelievable when applied to others, but for master Xu Ran, it all made perfect sense.
Thinking this, the Peregrine Falcon stepped back a few feet.
Then.
Xu Ran suddenly opened his eyes, his initially azure eyes emitting a faint golden hue. Innate Qi gushed endlessly from every part of his body, converging above him. His eyes fixed on the illusory passage, determined.
Soon, a pocket-sized flying sword ford above him. Unlike usual, the surface of this pocket-sized flying sword had a strand of light golden patterns, exuding an ancient aura, as if from bygone eras.
At this mont, Innate Qi continuously overflowed from Xu Ran’s body, causing the already suffocating cultivation to keep rising. At this thousand-fathom cliff, a gigantic golden figure began to condensate above Xu Ran’s head. Innate Qi surged into this golden figure, forming streaks of golden patterns on its surface like ancient runes.
The pocket-sized flying sword that had already ford expanded dozens of tis, becoming ten ters large, fitting right into the golden figure’s hand.
This golden figure pierced through the clouds, standing atop the cliff like a towering giant, overlooking everything under the Great Mountain. Its eyes flashing with dazzling golden light, seeing everything below with startling clarity.
This spectacle, enough to make any human or Demon Beast pause and gaze, seed unseen by all the creatures below the Great Mountain.
"Whirr, whirr, whirr!"
Simultaneously.
The white streams of light swiftly engulfed the entire cliff around the illusory passage, covering the standing golden giant and the Peregrine Falcon.
The next mont.
Scenery around them flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Ran and the others found themselves in a dense forest.
This dense forest was an endless sea of towering trees. Apart from the Spiritual Qi here, ten tis denser than the outside world, there was no other difference.
As the Peregrine Falcon entered this forest, the extrely dense Spiritual Qi assaulted its body, filling every cell, rging into the boiling [Kunpeng Bloodline]. For a mont, it felt dizzy and disoriented.
If it weren’t for the boiling [Kunpeng Essence Blood] helping it absorb this Spiritual Qi, it would probably have fainted by now.
After adapting for a mont, it quickly looked towards Xu Ran, only to see its master without any discomfort, the gigantic golden figure still standing there, the pocket-sized flying sword in its hand still present.
At this point, upon entering the forest, Xu Ran’s [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body] began continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi here, accepting everything, not letting a trace escape Xu Ran’s body, raising his cultivation considerably.
But now, he had no ti to rejoice.
He knew the current scenario was where the mysterious stone had brought him because he had just activated the [Immortal Sword Skill], bringing them to this forest.
The golden giant stood there, with endless Innate Qi swirling out, resembling an ancient War God, fearing nothing.
Now, Xu Ran’s montum reached its peak. Continuing any further might cause so damage to his body.
In the next second.
Xu Ran’s fingers crafted marks, Innate Qi circulating at his fingertips. As Xu Ran continued crafting marks, the golden giant slowly raised its pocket-sized flying sword, aligning it with the ground.
"Pierce!"
A short and powerful word sprang from Xu Ran’s mouth. The pocket-sized flying sword in the golden giant’s hand shot forward fiercely, trailing a golden stream, like a golden teor descending from the sky.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
As the pocket-sized flying sword shot forward, the endless Sword Qi trailing behind it shredded through the towering trees below like mowing grass, causing echoing booms.
In the blink of an eye, the pocket-sized flying sword had traveled hundreds of ters. The towering trees behind had all collapsed, yet there was no sign of stopping.
"When will this flying sword co to a stop?"
Watching this scene, the Peregrine Falcon thought, its wings unknowingly spread, touching the massive tree beside it, only to feel a wave of excruciating pain the next mont.
Glancing back, the Peregrine Falcon found that just touching this tree had injured it?
Just how hard are these trees?
It was a Demon Beast. Although not reaching the level of a Great Demon, rely a touch left its wing injured. Could ordinary trees achieve this?
"Bang!"
Unable to comprehend it, the Peregrine Falcon swung its claws, [Kunpeng Essence Blood] flaring fully, fiercely grasping the massive tree beside it.
In the end, no mark appeared on it.
Silently, it gawked at the scene before it, while its ears filled with the continuous echo of booms again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Seeing that the golden pocket-sized flying sword’s speed began to slow, it finally ca to a halt after flying several kiloters.
