Chapter 115: Chapter 111: Breaking Through True Self’s 2nd Layer! Dharma Image: Flying Immortal!

Half an hour later.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A succession of sounds of something cutting through the air rang out.

Immediately after, a group of Chen Family Elders shot forth from afar, streaking across the night sky like meteors.

The escape light quickly dispersed upon landing, transforming into more than a dozen Chen Family Elders.

"This..."

Led by the Seventh Peak Master, the Chen Family Elders looked towards the clearing, their pupils slightly contracting.

On the hundred-meter-diameter clearing, blood had long pooled into rivers, with severed limbs scattered everywhere, and cerebral fluid and entrails splattered all around.

Among them, more than a dozen corpses had heads that were burst open, their death incredibly tragic.

Further away.

Zheng Hee’s head lay in a patch of mud, his face contorted and twisted, his eyes wide open, glaring forward in anger.

Beneath his eye sockets, there were streaks of crimson teardrops staining his cheeks.

Witnessing this scene, the Seventh Peak Master’s heart shook violently with disbelief as he looked towards Chen Zhixing.

This patriarch of the Zheng Family was a formidable Third Layer True Self Realm expert, even he could not claim to take him down reliably!

Yet now he had been directly decapitated, laid there dead!

"Third Young Master..." The Seventh Peak Master’s throat moved, an inkling forming in his mind about why the Patriarch suddenly held Chen Zhixing in such high regard!

"The Zheng Family is destroyed, handle the remaining trivial matters."

Chen Zhixing walked away, threads of Flying Flower Sword Qi slicing swiftly through the whole black mountain forest like tiny insects.

Although he knew in his heart that Xuu Fan had most likely already fled far away, he was unwilling and wanted to investigate further.

Soon, Chen Zhixing disappeared from their view.

In an instant, the assembly was in uproar!

"Th... Third Young Master, single-handedly destroyed the entire Zheng Family?"

"Zheng Hee was an experienced True Self Realm powerhouse, able to release powerful beams like Piercing Body, Crushing Spirit, and Silent Extinction, definitely a formidable foe! And he was just killed right there?"

"This... this... Was it Third Young Master who did this, or someone else?"

The Elders exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

"If it were actually Third Young Master, does that mean... Third Young Master has already stepped into the True Self Realm?"

An Elder Shenyou inhaled sharply, his face filled with astonishment.

How old is the Third Young Master?

Not even a full twelve years old!

Such an age reaching the True Self Realm is nothing short of unprecedented, unmatched throughout history!

"Impossible, it should be impossible. A True Self Realm at such a young age has never been recorded in ancient history. I think Third Young Master must have some dharma treasure talisman bestowed by the Patriarch to kill a True Self Realm opponent." Another Elder shook his head repeatedly, skeptical.

Just as the Elders were whispering among themselves.

"Enough!"

The Seventh Peak Master uttered a low rumble, cutting off their murmurs, and spoke solemnly, "Recognize your positions. The Third Young Master is currently the only heir of the family and may lead it in the future. Do not make rash assumptions."

Upon hearing this, the Elders shared a glance and fell silent.

Meanwhile, the Seventh Peak Master’s eyes flickered with indecision.

"It seems it’s time to choose a side." A realization arose in the Seventh Peak Master’s heart.

Prior to this, he had always been close to First Peak Master Chen Tianxiong.

And Chen Tianxiong had always seen Chen Zhixing as a thorn in his side, believing that his son Chen Zhaosheng’s disappearance was intricately connected to Chen Zhixing.

Following his repeated outbursts on Ziwei Mountain, seeing the Patriarch’s determination to protect Chen Zhixing, he chose to leave Ziwei Mountain in anger.

There’s no doubt that Chen Tianxiong went to find some backing to overpower Chen Daoyan.

There will be a reckoning between Chen Tianxiong and Chen Zhixing eventually!

Previously, he had wavered and even leaned towards Chen Tianxiong, convinced that Chen Tianxiong would be the ultimate victor and even take over the Ziwei Chen Family.

But now it seems...

"I must figure out a way to sever ties with Chen Tianxiong and genuinely align with the Third Young Master." A decisive glint crossed the Seventh Peak Master’s eyes.

...

...

Time slowly passed by.

Chen Zhixing swooped down from above the entire black mountain forest and landed heavily.

"As expected, he left." Chen Zhixing’s expression shifted between cloudiness and clarity.

He was not exactly afraid of Xuu Fan, one of the Celestial Chosen Protagonists.

It’s just that fellow’s Golden Finger was rather tricky.

Should that person connect with other Celestial Chosen Protagonists, then there would be real trouble.

"Never mind."

Chen Zhixing exhaled deeply, realizing that dwelling on this was useless, better to increase his strength.

Only by being strong enough, everything else becomes illusions.

"It’s time to break through to the True Self Second Layer."

Chen Zhixing gazed at the distant full moon, a spark flashing in his eyes.

He waved his right hand, setting down several arrays to conceal his aura.

Chen Zhixing slowly sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.

He began to steadily regulate his state of mind.

His breathing became even, his expression increasingly serene.

He let his thoughts empty, starting to comprehend the natural world.

The wild wind, the high-hanging moon, the chirping cicadas, the falling leaves.

His mind became unprecedentedly calm.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

The "Nine Gods Technique" was activated, and his True Essence began to circulate.

At the same time, countless insights on the Sword Dao flooded his mind.

The breakthrough through the True Self Realm in the "Nine Gods Technique" was unlike any other.

Breaking through in other True Self Realms simply required absorbing Spiritual Qi to accumulate True Essence, and once accumulated, to naturally break through.

But "Nine Gods Technique" is different.

Each breakthrough in the small realms of the "Nine Gods Technique" was akin to reliving the process from the Divine Travel Realm to the True Self Realm!

Not only does it require vast amounts of True Essence, but it also needs the insight into a completely new Great Tao!

"What is Sword Dao....."

Chen Zhixing murmured to himself.

In an instant, countless figures flashed through his mind.

There was the unparalleled Female Sword Immortal, confident in her invincibility, with one sword strike rendering her unmatched, dominating a grand world, fleeting beauty in an instant!

There was a green-robed swordsman, treading across the river, singing loudly: Traveling to the North Sea in the morning, Cangwu by dusk, daring as the blue serpent in my sleeve!

There was also a lone swordsman, slicing through the river with one sword, blocking ten thousand layers of waves!

Too many, too many!

Throughout ancient and modern times, countless Sword Tao Grandmasters appeared in his mind, practicing Sword Dao!

These figures were all from the various Sword Tao Techniques and life notes Chen Zhixing had studied.

They all transformed into fertile soil, nurturing Chen Zhixing’s blossoming and fruition in Sword Dao!

Boom——!

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound within Chen Zhixing’s body.

A Great Tao Seed in the shape of a sword quickly condensed and finally hovered above his Dantian Divine Sea!

Sword Tao Seed, formed!

This also signifies that Chen Zhixing has one foot into the True Self Second Layer!

Next, he needs to condense the Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map on the path of Sword Dao, which would truly complete the transformation and enter the True Self Second Layer realm!

"Then, what should my second Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map look like?"

Chen Zhixing raised his head and slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, there was a trace of contemplation.

Regarding Sword Dao, Chen Zhixing had too many insights, and there were too many choices for the Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map as well.

For example, the Flying Flower Map of that Ancient Sword Immortal and so on.

"But that is someone else’s path, not mine."

"If I do it, I must be unique!"

Chen Zhixing murmured to himself.

He did not rush to condense the Heaven-Earth Manifestation Map but first sent a message to the Seventh Peak Master and others through a Communication Talisman, asking them to leave first, then he fell into deep thought.

The sun rose and set, stars shifted.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

Chen Zhixing sat cross-legged on the ground like a sculpture, unmoved by wind and rain.

This day, the sky poured down rain.

Bolts of lightning shuttled through the thick clouds, occasionally emitting deafening claps of thunder.

"I understand now."

Chen Zhixing suddenly opened his eyes.

He abruptly raised his head and looked at the sky, his gaze piercing through the heavens like a sword.

In the void.

Figures of Sword Tao Grandmasters from ancient to the present appeared in the void.

Some were riding the wind with swords, some posed with swords questioning the sky, some opened the heavens with swords...

Boom!!!

A deafening explosion echoed!

Immediately, the figures of the Sword Tao Grandmasters shattered and disappeared!

In their place was a figure in a white robe holding a sword.

This figure in a white robe was shrouded in Immortal Radiance, making it impossible to see his features clearly.

In the hazy, chaotic Immortal Radiance, this figure slowly raised his head, revealing a face identical to Chen Zhixing!

"Flying Immortal." The figure in a white robe cut down with the sword.

In an instant, Flying Flower Sword Qi, Gale Sword Qi, Long River Sword Qi, Star Sword Qi, too many to count!

Countless Sword Qi gathered and merged into a Flying Immortal Sword strike never seen in ancient or modern times!

The vast dark clouds in the long sky were grandly split apart by this sword, crossing the sea!

Countless creatures within Anjiang City simultaneously raised their heads, gazing at the sky as if witnessing a miracle.

The next moment.

All the anomalies in the sky withdrew back, quietly transforming into a Sword Tao Seed in Chen Zhixing’s Dantian Divine Sea.

Chen Zhixing stood up, a subtle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

True Self Second Layer, achieved!

He could feel that both the True Essence within his body and the physical strength, power, and speed had increased by about double!

Breaking through the minor realm was an all-around improvement for him!

Besides, the real key is that he now has another trump card that can be considered a killer move!

Dharma Image: Flying Immortal!

"If I were to encounter the Sword Tao Grandmaster Zhao Chengsheng of the Haori Sword Sect at this moment, I should be able to defeat him with one sword."

Chen Zhixing silently analyzed his own strength, feeling a rare sense of ease.

"Next, it’s time to return."

"I wonder how Dugu Ni is doing with buying the Celestial Attraction Stone."

"With the Sword Dao complete, the gravitational force should now be increased quickly."

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, looking toward the direction of the Ziwei Chen Family.

Boom!

Chen Zhixing took a step, immediately soaring into the sky, disappearing into the vast sky.

...

...

About a few hours later.

Chen Zhixing returned to Ziwei Mountain.

Just as he arrived at the mountain gate, a guard responsible for watching the gate lit up upon seeing him and quickly stepped forward:

"Third Young Master, you’re finally back!"

"Quickly head to the main peak, the Patriarch has important matters to discuss!"
