Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 510: Observing the Tide

San Cheng Huang straightened his posture, and his aura rose sharply, like a rising tide, but only for a moment, this aura receded like a tide, converging into almost nothingness.

It was as if the energy field and all Spirit had disappeared.

If one couldn't see him standing there, they might not be sure that there was such an existence opposite them.

He said, "Chen Jun, this skill is called "Returning Life Submergence." I have only just mastered it. It requires Steady Spirit to propel it during offense and defense, and it cannot last too long. Chen Jun, be careful."

As he spoke, he raised his saber. Almost as the wind swept over the mountaintop, he arrived nearby as if moving out of thin air, and the blade fell silently.

This time, he no longer feared the collision of blades.

This was because he had determined from the previous exchange that Chen Chuan would not kill him , and the apprehension in his heart was gone, allowing him to fight with complete abandon.

Chen Chuan felt his seriousness, which was exactly what he needed. Although he sensed that the other party's existence seemed elusive, it was impossible to completely abandon one's own existence.

He raised his saber and blocked the opponent's blade with a clang.

San Cheng Huang's words were more cowardly than anyone else's, but the strength on his blade was genuinely formidable. The feeling at that moment was no weaker than that of the berserk Iron Demon, and at the moment of contact, a surge of Spiritual Power permeated through.

This feeling was unlike anything he had experienced when fighting Jian Cheng Sheng or any previous opponent. After practicing with Hong Fu for so many days, he instinctively used the "Empty Heart Seal" to face the enemy. If Spiritual Power forcefully entered, he could immediately counterattack.

San Cheng Huang was clearly very experienced. His Spirit touched and retreated without delving deeper. Missing with one strike, he slashed again. His saber seemed to have a unique skill that borrowed force from the previous strike. The saber moves seemed continuous, becoming faster and faster, like a surging tide.

After receiving several strikes, Chen Chuan knew that this saber seemed to have the ability to gather power. Not only the Internal energy on the saber, but even the Spirit was contained and unreleased, waiting to erupt together when pushed to a certain level, so he couldn't let him continue to develop it.

When his next saber made contact, driven by Mutated Tissue, the strength on the saber exploded, and the strength of the Soul-Shaking Hammer naturally amplified the blade. Upon this contact, San Cheng Huang immediately unleashed his hidden Spiritual Power.

The Spirits of both sides collided fiercely. Chen Chuan only felt a burst of light erupt from the Heart Jade, while light shone from San Cheng Huang's eyes.

He could feel that the opponent's Spiritual Power was undoubtedly stronger than his own. After all, he had not been on this path for long, but the Heart Jade that he had tempered with Hong Fu's training firmly held its ground and was not shaken.

Moreover, this move was not only a contest of Spirit, but also a confrontation of substantial strength. The strength on his saber was obviously superior to the opponent's, sealing his original tide-like saber momentum.

San Cheng Huang inevitably faltered. The Mutated Tissue in his body had to dissolve the incoming Internal energy. Then, he saw a flash of blade before his eyes. Chen Chuan's saber momentum unfolded without any influence.

He couldn't block in time at this moment, but a surge of Internal energy suddenly burst out from his body, driving him to retreat and steadily blocking the subsequent strikes from Chen Chuan without missing a single one.

What he used just now was the Wave Pavilion's secret "Tide Watching Style," which could accumulate power in offense and defense. Each move could accumulate a bit of force, and when it accumulated to the highest level, it would burst out like a raging tide. However, if it was difficult to launch an attack, it could also be used for defense.

Now, after blocking seven strikes in a row, the previously accumulated strength gradually diminished, and the momentum and strength began to decline. However, he also used this opportunity to gradually adjust himself.

But at this moment, he discovered that Chen Chuan's saber had actually accelerated again on the basis of the original offensive, almost arriving in an instant.

He was shocked. Essence Blood surged within his body, accelerating his own speed and strength to respond to the changes in the opponent's saber momentum.

If this were a life-or-death battle, such an approach would be a great disadvantage if he couldn't quickly find a tactical opportunity. But this was just an exchange, not seeking victory or defeat, so he didn't care about this point. As long as he could block for a while and continue the battle, that would be enough.

The two sides engaged in continuous and fierce offense and defense within a few minutes. Both sides had a tacit understanding and did not push the battle to a dead end, but maintained it within a reasonable boundary.

While the two sides were resolving and clashing in Internal energy, they also needed to conduct Spirit probing and collision at any time.

This kind of observation of the battle situation, as well as the processing and analysis of information, required both sides to maintain a high degree of concentration, which was definitely not something that ordinary Martial Artists could withstand.

Chen Chuan clearly felt at this moment that those who had cultivated Spiritual Power indeed had a great advantage in this kind of offense and defense. Those who had not taken this step could not withstand a strike containing pure and skilled Spirit in normal circumstances.

If used properly, it was like relying on physical fitness to suppress others, almost defeating the enemy in one move.

San Cheng Huang's use of Spiritual Power had both a solid foundation and profound skills, especially in the realm of "Like my god knows." He didn't need to think between advances and retreats, but could simply follow the guidance of the god in his heart to face the enemy.

He had emptied himself several times, trying to use the "Empty Heart Seal" to lure it to come, but the other party had never been fooled, probably not because he knew he would use this skill, but purely because he had sensed the danger in advance, so he never invaded.

Unless he encountered an opponent like him with higher physical fitness, he would be almost invincible before his Spiritual Power was exhausted.

After the two had exchanged blows for half an hour, San Cheng Huang suddenly took a step back, put down his saber, and said loudly, "Chen Jun, please stop. My Steady Spirit Essence Blood is almost exhausted. I can't hold on if we continue to fight."

Chen Chuan smiled. Although San Cheng Huang said he couldn't hold on, just looking at his full-bodied voice showed that he still had leeway. However, if they didn't fight to the death, continuing to compete would be purely about exhausting their foundations, and there was indeed no need to continue.

He retracted his saber and nodded to show his respect, saying, "Thank you, Mr. San Cheng, for your guidance. I have benefited greatly."

San Cheng Huang bowed slightly, "Mr. Chen is too kind. Mr. Chen's magnanimity is truly the only one I have ever seen in my life. To be able to fight with Mr. Chen is truly my good fortune."

At this moment, he caught sight of the Snow Emperor Blade's scabbard falling at his feet. His expression became solemn. He bent down and picked it up, then solemnly stepped forward and handed it back to Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan reached out to take it and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Mr. San Cheng."

San Cheng Huang bowed again.

Chen Chuan returned the saber to its scabbard. He looked around. The two of them couldn't pay too much attention during their fight just now, but there wasn't too much damage here.

Although they didn't use their full strength, the sturdiness of Moshen Temple was evident.

Just dismantling this kind of place would probably be a large expense, and it was far from the city center, almost to the edge of the area. No wonder it hasn't been reused to this day.

However, using this place to build a Martial Combat hall specifically for internal exchange and sparring would be good.

San Cheng Huang had also tidied up his clothes and weapons at this moment. He walked over, looked down the mountain, and said, "My grandmother's mother used to live here.

According to them, people came here to worship every day. In fact, they don't really believe in this god, but for the sake of their families, they are willing to do this day after day. Even when they went to the Outer Ocean, they didn't change this habit. Although the gods they worshiped were different, their intentions were the same."

Chen Chuan nodded, but he heard something different in San Cheng Huang's tone and said, "Mr. San Cheng, have you seen a god in the Outer Ocean"

"I have seen some things that seemed divine," San Cheng Huang said with a look of reminiscence. "Later, I learned that it might be some kind of mutated creature, which seemed to be influenced by something on the other side. Every month, a pair of children had to be sacrificed.

I remember when I was six or seven years old, I followed the villagers to participate in the sacrificial ceremony. I saw that thing crawling up from the beach. It was like a pool of wet mud, covering the entire beach. At that time, I heard and saw many illusions..."

Then he saw a flash of blade, as if tearing apart these illusory worlds. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a tall and upright figure of an Anomaly standing there with his back to them, holding an incredibly long Long Sword, while the thing in front of him had already turned into a pool of melted, rotten water.

He closed his eyes slightly. Although he was now a Martial Artist, the scene of that day, the gloomy clouds, the raging waves, and the children's shrill screams, still made him feel a little chilled.

That scene was like a deep brand, branded into the depths of his heart.

Then he heard Chen Chuan ask in his ear, "I wonder how Mr. San Cheng compares to the Wind Crane Hall Master now"

"Teacher, I am still far behind."

San Cheng Huang said truthfully, "Teacher has already crossed the realm of "unity of spirit and body' and is the Blade Sect who has inherited the name of "Hall Guardian'."

"unity of spirit and body"

San Cheng Huang explained, "This is a realm one level higher than "Like my god knows." The god is me, and I am the god. The body and spirit are unobstructed, and one can do whatever one wants. Once this is achieved, one will embark on the path of breaking through limits.

The secret traditions after this are the true essence of Wave Pavilion, but unfortunately, only the successive Hall Masters are qualified to cultivate them. I am afraid that I will have no chance to see them."

After hearing his explanation, Chen Chuan felt that "unity of spirit and body" should be the true perfect integration of Spirit and body. The Wind Crane Hall Master had even surpassed this realm. The so-called "Blade Sect" probably referred to Martial Artists, after all, many places in the Outer Ocean still maintained the names of old times.

Only with such an identity could one support a powerful Martial Combat hall.

He said, "I have gained a lot today, Mr. San Cheng. I will ask you for advice another day."

San Cheng Huang bowed slightly, "I will be staying in Jibei Province for a while. I have benefited a lot from sparring with Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen has any advice, I am always at your service."
