"No, completely wrong!"
He murmured to himself, his brow tightly furrowed, "This is just a semblance, rely compellingly binding ten thousand swords into one by mana, its ’essence is still scattered."
"The intent contained in each sword light hasn’t truly been retracted or rged. The power of this unified sword light hasn’t fundantally improved compared to the simple split light strangulation."
"My Sword Dao realm also shows no sign of loosening."
This is rely an empty form of unity, not the "Condensing One" as stated in the "True Explanation of Sword Dao."
Just like forcing scattered sand to coalesce into a group, it looks like a whole but is actually loosely structured inside, ready to collapse at any touch.
True "Condensing One" requires lting the sand grains into an indestructible steel!
He tried countless tis, changing various ntal thods and sword trajectory, even fine-tuning his Divine Sense to manipulate each differentiated sword light, but still couldn’t find a way through.
The seemingly thin window paper was extraordinarily tough, isolating him from the true hall of Sword Dao.
Another hour passed.
"Sigh."
Xu Ping helplessly stopped, letting out a long sigh.
Three whole years of hard cultivation, exhausting countless efforts.
Yet he couldn’t even grasp the fur of the first phase. The difficulty far surpassed any Divine Techniques he cultivated.
"However..."
A sharp glint flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes, "I have a premonition too, if I can truly master this gathering scattered Qi back to its origin, completing the first phase."
"Even if there’s no progress in the subsequent two phases, just relying on this Condensing One Sword, its power is enough to threaten Early-Stage Divinity Transformation cultivators."
This is not wishful thinking.
Condensing the power of ten thousand swords into one sword, the highly concentrated destructive force is enough to cause qualitative change.
This gives him a strong motivation to continue persevering.
"This matter cannot be rushed. Sword Dao cultivation emphasizes progression with the flow. Forcing it would result in inferiority."
Xu Ping suppressed a slight irritation arising from long-standing stagnation, deciding to temporarily leave seclusion to change his mindset.
He stood up and walked out of the underground cave.
Outside, the sunlight was bright, and the sea breeze carried a salty and humid aroma blowing towards him.
However, just as he stepped out of the cave, preparing to gaze at the sea-sky horizon, an unexpected change occurred.
Buzz!
A subtle yet distinctly discernible wave of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi spread out like ripples from the deepest part of the outer sea, sweeping across the entire outer sea in an instant.
Even Xu Ping, far away on Blood Bone Island, clearly felt the sudden disturbance and agitation of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Although this fluctuation quickly cald down, it made Xu Ping’s face change dramatically.
"Hmm?"
"What happened?" Xu Ping tightly furrowed his brow, his gaze like lightning, directed towards the depths of the outer sea.
...
In the depths of the outer sea, above a giant ancient ocean whirlpool.
Two figures stood confrontationally at a distance, their naturally emitted aura alone caused the whirlpool below to stagnate, distorting and blurring the space within a thousand-mile radius, as if it couldn’t withstand their existence.
On one side were the Star Palace Saints - Star King and Moon God.
Their aura was of the sa origin, complenting each other, and their imnse mana was as unfathomable as a sea of stars, encircled by dazzling starlight and cool moonlight.
However, if one carefully senses, one can find a feeling of being slightly incompatible between them and the aura of this world, as if being rejected and suppressed by so invisible rule.
Their opponent was a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, thousands of feet long, with distinct scales shimring with dazzling golden light.
It hovered in the air, its dragon eyes like two blazing golden suns, its terrifying dragon might covering the sky, stirring the surrounding seawater into furious roaring.
What’s more unsettling is that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire outer sea seed to spontaneously converge towards it, as if it were the favored child of this world, uniquely blessed.
"Star King, Moon God, how dare you intrude into this king’s sea territory and create havoc!"
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon spoke in human tongue; its voice was like a bell, every word resonating with the rules of Heaven and Earth, spreading out as substantial sound waves.
Regarding Star Palace’s various infiltrations and small movents in the outer sea in recent years, it had long been displeased, yet it hadn’t expected them to co so boldly, with the Saints arriving together on its territory.
Star King’s face was shrouded in hazy starlight, his expression indistinguishable, only a cold snort emanating:
"The struggle for the great dao allows no retreat. Today, we ca to end this loach, severing your Demon Race’s fate!"
At these words, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon was instantly enraged: "Arrogant!"
No more worthless words, both sides fiercely engaged.
Star King raised his hand, invoking the star power of the entire universe, transforming into countless dazzling star spears, tearing through the sky.
Moon God softly waved her hand, the lunar cold tide swept in, freezing all in the void.
And the Five-clawed Golden Dragon roared, its dragon claw extended as if carrying the power of the entire outer sea, stirring up towering waves, invoking the rules of Heaven and Earth to crush down,
Boom!
A battle at Divinity Transformation level erupted, its power was earth-shattering.
The horrifying energy shock waves spread like a tsunami in all directions, the sky torn open a huge chasm, the seawater evaporated and instantly refilled, forming nurous huge voids and tornadoes.
...
Days later.
A piece of news capable of igniting the entire Wind Origin Realm spread rapidly like a plague:
The Star Palace Saints and the Five-clawed Golden Dragon of the True Dragon Hall in the outer sea erupted in a shocking battle in the depths of the outer sea.
Both sides fought fiercely for a long ti, ending in a draw.
"Divinity Transformation confrontation, no victory or defeat!"
The news reached Blood Bone Island, and Xu Ping was quite shocked.
Duan Shuang’s heart was further in tumultuous waves, hard to calm for a long ti.
For most cultivators, Divinity Transformation cultivators are already legendary beings; currently, only three exist in the Wind Origin Realm, balancing each other, unheard of direct conflict for over a thousand years.
