"I've heard of your Silence Divine Power, it indeed relates to the passage of ti. But... have you ever thought about how you actually touch the threads of ti?"
Xu Guang frowned, pondered for a mont, and said softly, "Life?"
Di Qiu shook his head slightly, stood up after so contemplation, and walked toward the window, saying, "Autumn kills while Spring generates; Silence touches ti through life and death. You might find inspiration from it."
Xu Guang nodded thoughtfully.
...
Two hours later, Xu Guang returned to the practice chamber.
His mind was occupied with the troubles he faced, realizing that the most critical dium for touching the threads of ti was Silence. Indeed, as Di Qiu said, he needed to engage with Silence first.
Life and death entwined, a cyclical transmigration?
No!
It's killing!
Xu Guang suddenly awakened to the realization that ever since he comprehended the Silence Divine Power, he had always treated it as a trump card, a killer move when activated.
He once again took out the bronze long sword, falling into a state of peculiar contemplation.
With the sword in hand, he instinctively began to gesture in the air.
A sword is a gentleman's weapon, but it is also a killing tool. Since its inception, it has always had the purpose of killing!
Xu Guang felt that he grasped the core.
To rge his own killing intent with the inherent killing intent of the bronze long sword—combined, using Silence to activate the inner force of ti within the bronze blood sword—the true aning can be achieved!
In his mind, appeared the first person who died under the Silence Divine Power.
It was from the ti he left Li Taizhou, when he kidnapped Liu Ruyan, prompting the Liu Clan to send soone after him, who called Qi Yanqing...
mories have never been this vivid.
Qi Yanqing's despair and hysteria in the last monts of life were clear, as if right before him.
Xu Guang recalled the killing intent he felt at that ti.
Followed by the impersonated Dragon Gate Sect Leader, Master Nanxuan from the Celestial Destiny Sect...
As he reminisced, threads of killing intent grew from faint to intense, intensifying with each step forward in his recollection.
At this mont, if soone were present, they could distinctly feel a thin layer of crimson frost seemingly forming in the practice room, as the killing intent nearly materialized.
"In this life of mine, the act of killing is countless, unknowingly, the killing intent has intensified so much."
Gradually, Xu Guang's recollection of killing intent extended beyond the events following his comprehension of Silence.
From the awakening of his Innate Wisdom, as a runaway soldier filled with fear, to entering Qingshuo County, where despite lacking talent, he relied on General Wei to gradually beco a formidable figure in Qingshuo County.
Moving on to Chuannan Prefecture, to avoid being plotted against, he apprenticed at Jiufeng Mountain...
The mory scenes in his mind also accelerated, gradually showcasing the thirty-odd years of his life with an unbroken streak of violence accompanying him throughout.
A long ti passed before his mind no longer held any mory scenes, only a blood-colored runic character, not belonging to any known script, but rather condensed from Xu Guang's own experiences and realizations. It was the character for 'Kill'.
The character for 'Kill' was ethereal, unstable, not yet fully forming the true aning of Martial Dao, rely Xu Guang's recollections and insights into his own life.
Xu Guang extended his hand, the bronze long sword seeming like a part of his body, the killing intent integrated, what was initially just preliminary refinent of the bronze long sword now seed under Xu Guang's complete control.
He had no impression of it at all, simply extended his hand, casting a seal on the bronze long sword.
The bronze long sword floated aimlessly, its inherent power of ti beginning to be drawn by Xu Guang, infused into the killing intent.
Xu Guang opened his eyes, filled with an essence beyond the age he appeared.
He gently clapped his hands, an object flew out from his body, floating in front of him.
This was specifically prepared for the Narrator profession, docunting all recollections triggered by the Narrator profession.
He imrsed within his realm, following his heart, and started to write sothing on it.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a year passed.
General Wei awakened several tis, Xu Guang remained oblivious, even when Jiang Zi Yun frequently brought items, he did not awaken.
Jin Buhuan described him as having achieved enlightennt.
Zhuge Wuliang had so curiosity about it.
Finally, on a certain day.
Xu Guang awoke, his lifeless eyes gradually gaining spirit.
Upon rising, a pervasive killing intent descended with a bang.
He stood there like the origin of all extermination, yet more terrifying was that standing there, he gave an impression of ambiguity, whether he truly existed or not?
The person standing there seed to be his past self, his present self, or perhaps his future self?
This was his latest realization of the true aning of Martial Dao, which he called 'Killing of Ti!'
Xu Guang chuckled, multiple versions of him appeared in the surrounding heavens and earth.
Each version exuded terrifying killing aura.
The true aning of Forgetfulness combined with the true aning of Killing of Ti, coordinated at that mont.
He raised his hand slowly, causing all anomalies within the practice chamber to disappear.
As the true aning returned, Xu Guang could distinctly feel a stirring from the Divine Soul, a sensation within his body as if becoming immortal, yet also a slightly hollow feeling.
He knew that his accumulation at the Second Grade realm had reached its limit, although his Qi Force had not yet reached the elevation threshold, hence this strange feeling.
All he needed was to supplent his Qi Force, and the First Grade realm was within reach.
General Wei walked in from outside, excitedly approached upon seeing Xu Guang awake, signaling to him.
It had made significant progress; though its realm was still at Third Grade, both its divine techniques and physical body had strengthened substantially.
Xu Guang patted its head with satisfaction.
Jiang Zi Yun seed to have been waiting in the Emperor Tower all along, seeing Xu Guang at the first mont he erged.
A warm sentint filled Xu Guang's heart.
...
Two days later.
Beiji City, Jin Residence.
"How does it feel? Jealous?"
Jin Buhuan said smugly to Xu Guang.
The Celestial Cyan Mine, serving as his property, was reclaid by the North Emperor Academy due to the Bronze Blood Gate, with compensation granted as this Saint's residence in the pri real estate of Beiji City, covering thirty acres, beca Jin Buhuan's possession.
Xu Guang and Zhuge Wuliang also received rewards, consisting of real estate within Beiji City, Xu Guang received a skyscraper over sixty stories high.
It was from the estates outside Beiji City, belonging to several elderly Saints who had obstructed the Lingchuan Saint.
Xu Guang didn't mind; according to Jiang Zi Yun, the building rented out could annually yield 1.2 million virtual crystals.
He couldn't help but click his tongue, marveling at how many wealthy individuals there are in a place like Beiji City.
"Sowhat envious, but Senior Brother Jin, not to criticize, do you really need such a large residence for yourself?"
Jin Buhuan's face instantly fell upon hearing those words.
"I plan to lease it out, but unlike your tower, this residence is a Saint's abode. Who could afford to rent it?"
Xu Guang: ...
He rambled endlessly, "Maintaining this residence annually costs nearly a million virtual crystals, with annual reports required to the academy. Originally, my mine was profitable, but now it's turned into a loss-making asset each year."
Xu Guang and Zhuge Wuliang laughed heartily.
Upon Xu Guang's ergence, Jin Buhuan took the opportunity to send out invitations for a celebration related to the prior mine event, though the trio's strength wasn't impressive, their background was substantial, with many experts acknowledging the duo's potential, most had arrived.
Yuan Shuang also ca.
That night, glasses clinked and intertwined, guests filled the scene.
Jin Buhuan, like a socialite, weaved among the crowd, enjoying conversations with everyone, striking deals along the way.
Zhuge Wuliang approached Xu Guang with a wine glass in hand.
"Soon, join in killing so people."
Xu Guang asked no further, simply nodded, "Alright!"
Zhuge Wuliang explained, "The Helian siblings have run into trouble; during your seclusion, Master Fa Rong from Guan'an Temple ca to talk with . Guan'an Temple defector Tu Nan has been chasing the Helian siblings, though he is now being tracked by Master Fa Rong and others. Yet Tu Nan issued a bounty via the Black Market, and the Helian siblings were recently captured by an overseas pirate organization called Liu Chuan."
"Senior Brother, there's no need to explain so much. Just arrange it, and I'll contribute as needed."
Zhuge Wuliang felt reassured, patting Xu Guang's shoulder.
"Rest assured, this matter isn't just between us; Li Taizhou owes Purple Dipper too many favors. I've sent word to everyone from Li Taizhou; when the ti cos, we'll act together. It's been quite so ti since our Li Taizhou... last made its presence felt."
The final sentence carried deep significance, imbued with a certain ambition.
